Yah Lah But

Singapore won its first SEA Games e-sport gold medal, but the win was mired in controversy. We break down the spat between the Singapore and Indonesian teams, and discuss if there could have been any other outcome. Elsewhere, a man took to social media to call out a bazaar stall that hired a tudung-wearing employee, but was selling pork satay, even prompting MUIS to respond to the issue. Is the anger directed at the stall justified?

This week, NCMP Leong Mun Wai proposed that the government set aside $1 million for a parliamentary research department, among other proposals for more resources to help parliamentarians. While the idea was shot down, were there any merits in his suggestions? At the same parliamentary session, MP Edwin Tong also defended the need for buskers to undergo live auditions annually. Why is this a big sticking point for the busking community?

King Charles’ coronation, a historic moment for the British monarchy, was the talk of the town this past weekend, but much of the attention was directed at Prince Harry and his demeanour at the ceremony. What stood out, and do people actually care about the royal family? Closer to home, people also scrutinized an exhibit at the National Gallery that featured live chickens, asking about the welfare of the animals involved. Does this exhibit run a-fowl of any ethical considerations?

IN DPM Lawrence Wong’s May Day Rally, he spoke about how Singapore can prevail in a changing world, and also touched on the hot topic of rising housing prices. How did he fare in his first May Day Rally as PM-in-waiting? Elsewhere, some condos have banned or restricted access to delivery riders. Is this a trend that will continue even as deliveries become part and parcel of daily life?

This past week, popular GP tutor Brooke Lim was revealed by an anonymous TikTok account to have plagiarised others’ content for a blogpost she wrote. This has led to an apology video, international news coverage, and a firestorm of vitriol directed at her. Why has this issue become such a big deal ? Elsewhere, Netflix has also drawn the ire of Egyptians, with the revelation that the historical figure Cleopatra will be played by a black actress in an upcoming Netflix documentary. Why the outrage?

Last week, only 30 names were put up for consideration for Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) positions, the lowest number since 2001. Why are so few people applying for this prestigious parliamentary position? Elsewhere, a dispute between an LA party organiser and a Singapore venue management company has made international news, as the plug was pulled on an LGBT party that was scheduled for May at the Capitol Theatre. We break down the controversy, and discuss whether it was a clear-cut case of discrimination.

This past week, the Charles & Keith girl had to post a video refuting the claims that she’s been less than honest about her family’s financial background. Why was it necessary? Elsewhere, a Singapore company sued an engineer who quit after getting his bonus, looking to claw the money back. While they ultimately won the case, we debate whether it’s fair for the company to resort to this legal action.

Dee Kosh finally released a 51-minute tell-all video in which he finally talks about his conviction for sexual offences. Reactions on social media have mostly been positive, but some have also called him out for jumping back onto social media so quickly. Why the mixed reactions? Elsewhere, a 12-year-old boy was caught after allegedly stealing a private bus and taking it for a joyride over 100km around Singapore. The reaction from the bus operator company, however, was surprising.
