The long-form train continues with the release of our first-ever Chinese comedy series: “The Amazing Showman”, hot on the heels of our first audio pilot & Tamil TV pilot. We chat (and laugh a lot) with the star of the show, the great Noah Yap. He’s been a long-time MOF contributor, and is basically our adopted acting child. We talk YouTube, TikTok, acting, Jade Rasif vs MOM and laksa. 

Our Chinese TV Series, so show some love!

At a recent forum, AWARE Chief Corinna Lim said practices that skew views of what it means to be a man should be reviewed, especially in National Service which she said should be “gender neutral”. But is the enlistment of women a good idea? Elsewhere, John Cena uploaded a video apologising to Chinese fans after referring to Taiwan as a country, during his press tour for Fast & Furious. Is he a "coward", or is there more to it?

The once-famous satirical Facebook page, SMRT Feedback, posted something that questioned the loyalty of Muslims to their country, and pissed off the internet. FB User Syazana Yahya then filed a police report, which caused SMRT Feedback to delete its post and issue an apology. But what wrong did they do? And should we always be lodging police reports for speech? Elsewhere, diners at hawker centers could soon be fined $300 if they don’t clear their tray. But do we need such rules?

It’s Week 1 of “Phase 2 Heightened Alert” and it feels weird. So weird that some retailers are actually calling for a Circuit Breaker. But why? Elsewhere, an aesthetic doctor who analysed Fann Wong’s face at the Star Awards 2021 incurred the wrath of celebrity stylist David Gan and Fann Wong’s lawyers. But did the doctor do anything wrong? What about David Gan talking about the doc’s mother?

When the Delhi Chief Minister tweeted a warning about the variant from Singapore and pleaded with Indian officials to stop flights from SG, Vivian B curtly tweeted back that “politicians should stick to facts''. That was badass, but why did the rumour start in the first place? And what could the impact be? Elsewhere, an exhibition at the Singapore Art Museum by artist Amanda Heng aims to rebuke the stereotypical image of SIA’s Singapore Girl, by crowdsourcing pics of women’s bare butts. Is this “send nudes” in disguise or something more?

In a viral Whatsapp message that was verified by TODAY and the Straits Times, Dr David Lye, an infectious diseases expert, said the situation in SG is “likely more dangerous” than what it was just before Circuit Breaker in 2020. But why did this message come through social media first, before mainstream media? Elsewhere, at the Miss Universe pageant in Florida last weekend, Miss Singapore Bernadette Belle donned a cape that said “Stop Asian Hate”. Why? And what was the reaction?

The youngest honouree in Forbes 30 Under 30 2021 class, 19-year-old Harsh Dalal from Singapore, was unceremoniously removed from the list after Tech In Asia revealed inconsistencies in his and his company's credentials. However, what's more shocking is that SPH and CNA had also produced features glorifying his supposed achievements in the past year, inadvertently helping to legitimize his claims. We discuss about the editorial oversight (or lack of) in mainstream media that led to this fiasco. Elsewhere, Elon Musk flip-flops about Bitcoin being used to purchase Teslas because of the cryptocurrency's environmental impact, and sends the price into a tailspin... but is there more to his tweet than meets the eye?

On 6 May, SPH announced that it was spinning off its media business into a non-profit arm. At the press conference, the SPH CEO lost his cool and created the buzzword of the year in "umbrage". More controversial details have emerged of how the SG government will support SPH's plans, including bringing ex-minister Khaw Boon Wan back as the chairman of the new entity. Elsewhere, someone on the MRT was filmed not wanting to wear a mask. People were calm, unlike the other confrontations that happened. Even the PM issuing a statement! WTF is going on?

On 1 May 2021, it was announced that Chew Shou Zi, a Singaporean, will be the new CEO of TikTok. But why did his nationality cause so much debate in SG internet about “how Singaporean” he is? Elsewhere, Will Smith shared his dad bod on Instagram and got lots of praise. 2 days later, he announced his new show about getting fit. Was his “honesty” just a marketing gimmick?
