#314 - Will Smith posts apology video & Bishan seafood stall to charge GST and service charge
And after our short COVID holiday, we are back! And so is Will Smith, who got us to “take a minute, just sit right there” to watch his apology video on his YouTube channel, 4 months after slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. We discuss the backlash to his video, and what he really needs to do to get out of this PR nightmare. Closer to home, people got angsty when a seafood stall in a Bishan kopitiam announced that it will start charging GST and service charge come 1st August. Is this the start of more price hikes coming to our beloved kopitiams?
