The statement also emphasised that Grab stood on the side of humanity and expressed hope for a ceasefire and peace.“Screenshots of my previous Instagram Stories from weeks ago are suddenly resurfacing – and maliciously taken out of context and shared to stir more hatred.
My instastories were done before I understood all that is happening with Israel and Gaza. Like the rest of humanity, I hope for ceasefire and peace. I am simply saddened and feel very helpless for all the innocent lives lost.”
“We do not support any form of violence and as a participant of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), we are aligned with its principles, and respect the protection of human rights.”

Nope. Many humanitarian ngo's working in Gaza despite the bombings.Any donations going to Gaza is a donation to hamas.
It's already too late. I think food panda/ grab merger will be called off due your sudden spike in orders for food panda.Does she need to make a statement urgently
It's called "hao lian"; it's a Chinese trait. You want to tackle a Chinese girl, you must understand Chinese traits, especially their parents. If you are riding a bike, you have no chance to land a Chinese girl. The parents will despise you.It's already too late. I think food panda/ grab merger will be called off due your sudden spike in orders for food panda.
I don't really know why people like to post stuffs on internet as all those information given can make them vulnerable.
Surely a Chinese parent that rides Harley or ducati may accept.It's called "hao lian"; it's a Chinese trait.

No, a two-wheeler just would not make it. They will lose face among their relatives. Chinese are very superficial, and they wouldn't know the value of Harley and Ducati.Surely a Chinese parent that rides Harley or ducati may accept.
Humanitarian aid workers are being shot at by Hamas.Nope. Many humanitarian ngo's working in Gaza despite the bombings.
The problem is that most people on social media can't tell the difference in posts done in a personal capacity or under the banner of one's company/organization.It's already too late. I think food panda/ grab merger will be called off due your sudden spike in orders for food panda.

What does the bible say about those who bless Israel?
