From 1st July, a flat owner will be presumed guilty of high-rise littering if he cannot prove within 14 days that he is not responsible for the offence. This makes it easier to catch offenders, but brings up the question of overreach as well. Elsewhere, people called out some adults for washing themselves at a public fountain at Kallang, and even took pictures of them washing their armpits and butts. Should we ban people from using these facilities to clean themselves?Find us here!YLB Subreddit YLB TikTok YLB IGYLB YouTubeFolkloryIf you’re looking for a meaningful gift, we’d love to help you create a personal podcast for a loved one.

This week, Singapore-born comedian Jocelyn Chia incurred the wrath of furious Malaysians after posting a video of her stand-up comedy performance, in which she insulted Malaysia and made a joke about the missing airliner MH370. Government officials from both countries have released statements, protests have been planned, and even other comedians, like Dr. Jason Leong, are facing blowback from this incident. Was the joke really THAT bad? Also, Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam announced his intention to resign from the Government and to run for President, bringing to end months of speculation about who from the establishment will run at this year’s presidential election. But why did this momentous announcement bring a chuckle to us here at YLB?Find us here!YLB Subreddit YLB TikTok YLB IGYLB YouTubeFolkloryGet 20% off this Father’s Day using promo code “FATHERSDAY20” at Folklory.com!Available till midnight on Mon,12 Jun 2023Singapore-Born Comedian Faces Backlash Over MH370 JokeSingapore-born comedian's MH370 joke draws Malaysians' ireSingapore apologises to Malaysians for comedian Jocelyn Chia's MH370 jokeUmno Youth to protest Jocelyn Chia's insults in front of US Embassy in M'siaJocelyn Chia backlash: Malaysian comedians weigh in on her MH370 jokeTharman Runs for PresidentSM Tharman to run for president, will resign from Govt and PAP on July 7 | The Straits TimesTharman's Meet-the-People session duties to be covered by Jurong GRC Shawn HuangTharman Shanmugaratnam hopes to project Singapore's 'voice of reason' globally and be unifying figure domestically, if elected as presidentSM Tharman Shanmugaratnam's opening remarks at the doorstop interviewFull transcripts of Tharman's resignation letter & PM Lee's responseRDU calls for by-election as Tharman Shanmugaratnam is Jurong GRC's minority MPPresidential hopeful Tharman Shanmugaratnam used to write poems & play rugbyOne Shiok CommentComment by Cuban_KiwiOne Shiok ThingThe Witcher: Season 3 | Official TrailerRDCWorld1 YouTubeMics from @shureEdited and mixed by Tristen Yeak

This past week, ex-NMCP Daniel Goh announced his expulsion from the Workers’ Party. While it was not unexpected, we discuss what this move means for public perception of the internal workings of the WP. Elsewhere, MP Sun Xueling shared a Punggol resident’s rude and vulgar email addressed to her, underlining the needlessness of verbal abuse in giving feedback.
