It’s Climate Action Week here in Singapore (did you even know that?) and the Govt has laid out plans for the civil sector to lead the charge towards reducing carbon emissions. What’s in the plan? Does it sound realistic or too good to be true? Elsewhere, Yung Raja’s latest single “Mami” gets featured on the “Do Not Play” segment of Jimmy Fallon’s show. Is that a low blow, or is there really no such thing as “bad publicity”?

Within the span of 2 weeks, there have been numerous articles across mainstream media about purchases of GCBs (Good Class Bungalows) by CEOs of Tech companies (e.g. GRAB, Razer & Secret Lab). But why are these newsworthy? Is it right to disclose their names even? Elsewhere, a TikToker who trespassed a rhino enclosure to do a somersault for his TikTok video gets charged in court. But is this going to be the norm?

On 6 Jul 2021, MPs Ong Ye Kung and Tan See Lee spoke in parliament in response to claims about CECA by Leong Mun Wai from the PSP. It got heated, but did people agree with what the PAP said? Or could their approach have been better? Elsewhere, the Ministry of Law has proposed a bill that forces people to credit content creators if their work is shared on social media. Good move or something that will “censor” social media?

This week in Parliament, Ministers will be talking about CECA and the “false allegations” that foreigners get a “free hand” to live and work in SG. But why is it important to talk about it? Do people know enough about CECA in the first place? Elsewhere, friends and family of Ben Glynn, the British non-masker, have allegedly raised $50,000 for his legal fees in the “oppressive regime” of Singapore. WTF?

So Bill Cosby is free again, after his conviction got overturned. People are pissed, but what are they pissed about? Because it’s not a simple case - does this mean he is innocent? Or is it a legal technicality? What happens next? Back home, it’s been confirmed - NDP 2021 will be a live event again, at the Marina Bay floating platform! But what and how will it happen? Is it too soon?

Amidst increasingly public struggles faced by hawker stall owners, as well as calls to preserve the UNESCO-approved hawker culture, NEA went ahead and increased the rent of some hawker stalls. KF Seetoh went public, but does he have a point? Is NEA to blame? Elsewhere, it’s been revealed that members of SG’s wealthy class are victims of a scam. Is that goofy, or is that a warning sign?

On Fri, 25 Jun, MP Lawrence Wong delivered a 1-hr speech and 30-min Q&A on the topic of race, and racism. He said stuff that other politicians have never mentioned (like “Chinese Privilege”) but are people happy? What did Opposition Leader Pritam Singh think? Elsewhere, a man in Singapore is being investigated for offering women up to SGD22,500 for a “bukkake” photoshoot. But is he wrong to do so?

As other cities open up Covid-19 travel restrictions, Singapore (and Hong Kong) remain  strict, especially for non-citizens. But strict enough to make expats leave? Should we even be worried if they do? Is it fair for them to be so critical? Elsewhere, a seafood restaurant in Punggol allows customers to take crabs for walks before eating them. Nice gesture or marketing gimmick?
