The month of love began with a lawsuit. One Mr Kawshigan, a bearded CEO of a drone racing company in Singapore, has filed a lawsuit against his friend Ms Tan for well, saying she considered him a friend.

Mr Kawshigan and Ms Tan allegedly met at the Rotary Club of Bugis Junction (I don’t know where that is but this fact has a certain ring to it) in 2016. But for her, the beginning, if promising, failed to remain so as she says that from November 2016 to September 2020 they argued and fought until she wanted to step back. For Mr Kawshigan that counted as friendzoning—something men consider emasculating, a failure to conquer as a man His coercions worked so Ms Tan felt she had to participate in counselling and later “healing” sessions to help him. When she finally called a halt, Mr Kawshigan felt he had to ‘escalate’ and he filed a USD 3 million lawsuit arguing Ms Tan had damaged his “stellar reputation”. One could argue he was doing a good job of that himself. A court threw out one of Mr Kawshagan’s cases because it did not want to be complicit in his obsessive desire for contact with Ms Tan, even if it was only negative contact.
