Yah Lah But

A report by the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at the National University of Singapore (NUS) found that more than half of local children do not hit the recommended one hour of moderate to vigorous exercise per day. This happened in spite of Singapore’s safe parks, playgrounds and sports facilities, so what’s going on? Across the Causeway, Jay Chou angered Malaysian football fans due to his concert coinciding with the AFF Championship and resulting in 21,000 seats being closed off at Bukit Jalil National Stadium. But is it really his fault?

Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White was caught on camera striking his wife in a club on New Year’s Eve. What are (if any) the repercussions for a rich, highly-visible sports executive caught in the act of domestic violence? Closer to home, a family discovered that their new HDB home was the site of a gruesome discovery a couple of years ago: skeletal remains of the ex-occupant which had been left there for 9 years. How would you react to such a discovery?

Hope you had a new year! After China recently eased Covid restrictions internally, many residents eagerly booked trips overseas. However, multiple countries, including the US and Japan, rushed to impose restrictions on these travellers, provoking an angry response from the Chinese government. Is this a lingering paranoia about Covid-19, or just plain xenophobia? Closer to home, the repeal of Section 377A has prompted questions about whether gay teachers should be allowed to speak to their students about their sexual orientation. What are the pros and cons?

HDB announced that it will investigate and take action against homeowners who flout the Minimum Occupation Period rule for their BTO flats. This comes after some supposedly “vacant” BTO units were listed for sale on an online property site. Why the big hoo-hah over a practice that anecdotally has been happening for a while now? Elsewhere, FIFA will investigate how the restaurateur and influencer known as Salt Bae got access to the pitch after the World Cup final, and forced his way into the celebrations with the Argentina squad. Why are people feeling salty about a famous person celebrating a World Cup win with other famous people?

2nd special guest host in a week! Haresh is still away getting married, so this time, Andie Chen steps in to guest host! We talk about why he’s appearing in back-to-back productions set in the MRT (TV series Third Rail and movie Circle Line), and also discuss why he thinks it’s a great time to be learning about crypto and NFTs. We also analyse why rich Taiwanese people are moving their assets to Singapore, and we discuss the curious case of the upskirter who got caught allegedly filming a “man in a dress”.
