    #508 - Singapore Orders Takedown of Israel Embassy Post & Iswaran Slapped With Additional Charges

    This week, authorities ordered the Israel Embassy in Singapore to take down a social media post that compared mentions of Israel and Palestine in the Quran. Ministers Shanmugam and Vivian Balakrishnan also issued strongly-worded statements in separate interviews explaining the severity of the issue. We look into their statements to understand why they felt these moves were necessary. Elsewhere, former transport minister S. Iswaran was slapped with 8 new charges that allege he had obtained, as a public servant, valuable items worth nearly $19,000. It’s a long list of wines, whiskies, golf clubs, and a titanium Brompton bicycle that costs almost $8,000! We look deeper into the list to try and understand the rationale behind accepting these gifts.

    #505 - Should Singapore Host Commonwealth Games? & Army Boys Post Photo with Racist Caption

    Singapore is currently assessing whether to bid to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games, after Victoria pulled out last year due to its ballooning budget. What are the pros and cons of hosting these Games on such short notice? Elsewhere, the SAF is investigating a photo of a group of servicemen on a military exercise which was posted to IG stories recently. Even worse, a racist caption accompanied the photograph.

    #504 - TikTok Banned in the US & Is Kaya Toast Malaysian?

    This week, the House of Representatives in the US passed a bill that could lead to a national TikTok ban. In response, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew made an impassioned plea to American users to tell their political leaders not to ban the app. Could this actually happen? Elsewhere, many Malaysians made a meal of a Top 100 Sandwiches in the World list that had “kaya toast” from Singapore at #42. These commentators complained that SIngapore had stolen yet another Malaysian dish; is there any truth to these claims?

    #503 - Do Men Think Women’s Equality Has Gone Too Far? & Kate Middleton’s Photo Scandal

    #503 - Do Men Think Women’s Equality Has Gone Too Far? & Kate Middleton’s Photo Scandal

    A recent Ipsos survey of 500 Singaporeans revealed that 57% of Singaporean men agree with the statement "we have gone so far in promoting women's equality that we are discriminating against men." Is Singapore a really sexist society? Elsewhere, Kate Middleton’s doctored Mother’s Day photo has triggered a firestorm of criticism, with international news agencies even voluntarily opting to remove the photo from circulation. Why is the world obsessed with the Princess’ poor Photoshop skills?
