Yah Lah But #365 - Tin Pei Ling’s Grab Gig Raises Conflict of Interest Concerns & Calvin Cheng Shames Cash-Only Businesses

Is there real cause for concern here, or was it much ado about nothing? Elsewhere, Calvin Cheng ignited angry comments on his Facebook post which called people to name and shame businesses that refused to accept digital payments. Was he justified in doing so?
