    Free Tree Society is based on very simple principles - they take seeds, sprout them, look after the seedlings, then give away healthy little plants to the public for free on environmental holidays. We'll be talking with the president of the society, Baida Hercus, about the motivation of the project and what, if any, the endgame is.

  • Tales From Kampong Kirkby

    The Malayan Teachers' Training College was established at Kirkby College, Liverpool, back in the early 1950s as Malaya emerged from the Second World War with a shortage of trained teachers. Candidates from Malaya were flown to Britain to attend the college. Throughout its active years from 1952 to 1962, the college produced 1,500 teachers and over 400 teacher-trainers. The alumni are fondly known as Kirkby-ites, and have, after their days at Kirkby, progressed to become experts in a variety of fields. We speak with two alumni, Dato' VL Kandan and Tan Ling Suan, about their experiences and life lessons from Kirkby.

  • The Tolls of Service with a Smile

    Emotional labour involves managing one’s feelings and expectations as a central element of a job. It includes any kind of work that requires the employee to, for example, carry a smile on a bad day, or to remain patient and calm while dealing with unreasonable clients on a regular basis. We hear about the physical and emotional grind of working as a waiter by Chef Darren Teoh from Dewakan. Then we discuss the effects of emotional labour as well as ways to cope with such job demands with Dr. Eugene Tee, lecturer of psychology at HELP University, as well as Karen Yap, Chief Human Resource officer at Manulife Holdings. We then speak with Professor Nadia Thalmann, creator of Nadine the social robot, and Director of the Institute for Media Innovation at Nanyang Technological University, about how robots might soon be recruited to perform service jobs.
