In news that both sucks and blows, Dyson has become the latest tech company in Singapore to do a sudden round of retrenchments, giving the relevant union only a day’s notice! We discuss what the union can still do, as well as Dyson’s broader impact locally. Also, Singapore’s last kampung is back in the spotlight after property TikTokers reported the land to be valued at a whopping $70 million. Why won’t the owner sell, and what should its eventual fate be? Back to chew on these issues after a month of paternity leave, is Haresh!
