Plan B

They sting and look scary so it’s no wonder bees get labelled as pests in Singapore. But according to Clarence and Eugene from Sundowner Bee Rescue, the real problem isn’t the bees — it’s how we deal with them. Shockingly, only 3 Town Councils had taken active steps to protect them. With most Singaporeans still unsure of how to handle bee encounters, the question is: where can we do better, and what does responsible bee care really look like?

As Singapore turns 60, national pride seems to be fading. It looks like fewer households are flying the flag, and many younger Singaporeans seem to feel little connection to the idea of patriotism. Is it just apathy or is something deeper at play? With rising costs of living, a tough job market, and growing uncertainty about the future, this generation is grappling with issues that may be reshaping what pride in one’s country even means.

ou’ve probably seen those viral clips — teens wobbling around like zombies on the streets. That’s what happens when vapes get mixed with the drug etomidate — aka “K-pod.” To be fair, the government’s been quick to act. But we can’t help but wonder: should we just regulate vapes in Singapore or ban them completely? What do you think?

When a father is critically ill and his children can’t agree on what decisions to make, conflict, confusion, and heartbreak often follow - but it doesn’t have to be this way. Advance Care Planning (ACP) and a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) can help ensure that someone trusted and specifically chosen is empowered to make decisions on their behalf. As Dr Sanjeev shares from experience, these conversations matter - and having them early can make all the difference. 

If you are generally healthy and well, you can now conveniently make your ACP online using the myACP tool, without needing to meet an ACP facilitator in person! Plus, the LPA Form 1 application fee is waived for Singaporeans until the end of Mar 2026, so don’t wait until it’s too late! To learn more and get started with Legacy Planning, which covers ACP, LPA, CPF nominations, and Wills,

Today, we come face to face with Singapore’s legendary snake charmer — Yusof Ular. Known as the snake king, Yusof opens up about why he’s considering hanging up his pythons for good — thanks to unpaid gigs and the all-too-familiar ‘kiasi’ mindset of Singaporeans. And yes, meeting him means we have to handle snakes. The real question is… will we get bitten?
