It has (only) been a year since the start of the first MCO, so we decided to look back at how it has changed our viewing, binging, and hate-watching habits. What did we love, what did we waste our time on, and what hidden gems did we discover while endlessly scrolling through the on-demand catalogue? We celebrate all our favorites in the first, and hopefully last, MCO anniversary Supercut.

In 2016, Malaysian Beh Chew Boo was arrested in Singapore for allegedly attempting to carry 499.97g of meth across the causeway. He was sentenced to death in January last year (2020) by the Singapore High Court. In an unprecedented turn of events, the 38-year-old managed to escape the noose when he was acquitted by the Court of Appeal in October 2020. 

On this episode of Live & Learn, we’re joined by the lawyer Wong Siew Hong, who represented Chew Boo throughout this ordeal, to discuss the details of the case, as well as share his thoughts on the drug laws in Singapore.
