    #634 - Edwin Tong vs. Unfriendly Residents & $11K Nun Job Stuns Singapore

    The GE2025 season is heating up - barely 2 weeks in and it’s already spicy. A video of Minister Edwin Tong’s walkabout in Marine Parade went viral for seemingly showing an uncle in a wheelchair flipping him off, but was it actually a middle finger? A PAP volunteer also got implicated for looking stand-offish in the video. We dissect the footage and the clarifications from all the parties involved, and ask if this foreshadows the aggressive campaigning to come. Elsewhere, a Buddhist society’s job ad offering $5K-$11K a month for a nun raised eyebrows and serious questions. Was this job ad for real? Can you earn more as a nun than most normal professions?

    #633 - Singapore Drops in World Happiness Ranking & Should We Wear Boxers Outside?

    Singapore is no longer the happiest country in Asia, according to the latest World Happiness Report. We dropped from 29th to 34th globally, losing our regional crown to Taiwan. What’s behind this decline, and does it match how Singaporeans actually feel? Elsewhere, a standoff between residents in Bukit Batok has sparked debate after a woman complained about her neighbour walking along the corridor in only boxers. Is it indecent, or just awkward?

    #631 - Shanmugam’s MPS Stand-Off with Activists & Can Unit Pricing Combat Shrinkflation?

    A video of Minister K. Shanmugam verbally clashing with activists at a Meet-the-People Session last week has gone viral, with the activists in question drawing widespread condemnation for their provocative actions. The activists revealed their side of the story over the weekend, and alleged that they were unfairly portrayed by the Minister’s team and mainstream media. Who’s winning this war of words? Meanwhile, supermarkets in Singapore are finally rolling out unit pricing, making grocery shopping more transparent for consumers. But will it actually help?

    #629 - GE2025 Electoral Boundaries Shake-Up & Lady Gaga and Singapore Write a Bad Romance

    Singapore’s Electoral Boundaries Review Committee has released its long-awaited report, remaking constituencies ahead of the imminent GE2025. With more MPs, redrawn boundaries, and reconstituted double-barrel GRCs, are these justified adjustments? Or are online commentators’ accusations of gerrymandering valid? Meanwhile, Lady Gaga has chosen Singapore as her only Asia tour stop - sparking excitement and, of course, disappointment from Little Monsters around the region. In Parliament, Minister Edwin Tong clarified that no grants were given to the artist and her team, so why did she skip other Asian countries? Was this purely a business decision, or did Singapore pull some unseen strings?  (00:00) Intro(03:24) GE2025 Electoral Boundaries Shake-Up(34:43) Lady Gaga and Singapore Write a Bad Romance(47:22) One Shiok Comment(51:30) One Shiok Thing Folklory If you’re looking for a meaningful gift, we’d love to help you create a personal podcast for a loved one.

    #628 - Tan See Leng’s Cantonese Catchphrase & Should Thaipusam be a Public Holiday?

    Last week in Parliament, Minister of Manpower Dr Tan See Leng chided PSP’s Leong Mun Wai with a viral Cantonese movie quote that is dividing public opinion. Was it a power move, or unnecessary condescension on his part? Meanwhile, Workers' Party MP Jamus Lim is pushing for Thaipusam to be reinstated as a public holiday, arguing that Singapore’s public holiday distribution is unequal. But will the government ever consider adding another day off?

    #627 - Yah Lah BUT Live! PMAs To Require Medical Certification & $2,000 Dating Bounty

    We return with our first YLB Live show of 2025! In this episode, we talk about the government tightening rules on Personal Mobility Aids (PMAs), by introducing speed limits and medical certification requirements. Are these necessary safety measures, or will they unfairly penalize legitimate users? Meanwhile, a Singapore PR is offering a $2,000 “bounty” to anyone who introduces her to a suitor, and if they date for at least six months. Is this a brilliant dating hack or just another sign of our ultra-transactional society? We also had an audience member come on for a fan segment, and many felt like he should have had his own podcast! See you at the next live show!
