Grab officially ended its pursuit of a buyout of Trans-Cab after Singapore's competition watchdog announced that it believed the deal would result in "a substantial lessening of competition" in the local ride hailing scene. Was this turn of events a win for consumers? Elsewhere, Raffles Institution has drawn flak after a photo of a student dressed as a delivery rider for Racial Harmony Day made its rounds on the internet. Was it a malicious action on the student’s part? What made the costume particularly offensive in Singapore’s context?

Allianz’s plans to buy a majority stake in Singapore’s Income Insurance have sparked concerns among some Singaporeans, with prominent figures like Tommy Koh and the ex-CEO of NTUC Income speaking up against the sale. Will this move really affect Singaporean’s insurance policies, or are we missing the forest for the trees? Elsewhere, the captain of the Japanese women’s gymnastics team, Shoko Miyata, withdrew from the Olympic Games after admitting to smoking and drinking alcohol, in violation of her team’s stated rules. Was this move too harsh on the young athlete?

The tumultuous US presidential election took another strange turn this weekend, as incumbent US president Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race and his endorsement of VP Kamala Harris to take his place. What led to his sudden reversal, and realistically, does Harris stand a chance against Trump? Elsewhere, the familiar blue and white slippers that are often worn in Singaporean homes were spotted for sale at $1,645 in a Saudi Arabia store. What are we missing here? Was this a prank, or just genius marketing?

This past weekend, footage of the shocking assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump sent shockwaves around the world. Some have declared it as a major turning point in the presidential election that tilts the race heavily in Trump’s favour. We dissect the reasons why. Closer to home, Malaysian authorities have officially advised parents against giving exotic names to their children; citing names like “bodoh” (Malay for stupid), “harimau” (tiger), and even “skibidi” (Gen Z slang). Do we need more safeguards against parents who choose to give their children such weird names?

Singapore’s Olympics swim team came under intense scrutiny when veteran Quah Ting Wen was unexpectedly replaced in the women’s 4x100m medley relay team by another swimmer, Gan Ching Hwee. Quah has since gone public with her side of the story, and ignited a debate about the fairness of the selection process. Some have labelled her as “entitled” for her actions, but is there more to this story than meets the eye? Elsewhere, Barcelona residents are resorting to squirting water at tourists to protest overtourism in the city. Is this a sign of things to come for all popular tourist destinations, including Singapore?
