Local Singaporean Tan Ah Kow was reportedly halfway through a solemn nod for the 3,468 dead in Iran before being successfully distracted by a limited-time offer on a Ugreen powerbank.

“I really wanted to understand the complexities of the US-Israel-Iran conflict,” Tan said while clicking a link for a 70% off Dreame hair dryer.

“But the Straits Times paywall makes it very hard to care about martyrs without a monthly recurring subscription of $9.90,” he added.

The jarring transition from portraits of strike victims to a $23.91 Nordic Style Desk Lamp has been praised by local media experts as the peak of Singaporean efficiency.

“Why waste emotional energy on a global massacre when you can get an Oxi Action Multi Stain Remover at 15% off?” asked one auntie while scrolling past reports of dead children to check if the Mickey Mouse Home Haven Candle was still in stock.

The Straits Times newsroom confirmed that mass death is most effectively digested by the public when sandwiched between a Temu clearance sale and a Lego FIFA World Cup trophy.

As the ceasefire holds, thousands of local readers remain hopeful that the next round of airstrikes will coincide with a 9.9 Shopee flash sale.
