#390 - Charles & Keith Girl Comes Clean & Engineer Ordered to Return Company Bonus After Quitting

This past week, the Charles & Keith girl had to post a video refuting the claims that she’s been less than honest about her family’s financial background. Why was it necessary? Elsewhere, a Singapore company sued an engineer who quit after getting his bonus, looking to claw the money back. While they ultimately won the case, we debate whether it’s fair for the company to resort to this legal action. Find us here!

Dee Kosh finally released a 51-minute tell-all video in which he finally talks about his conviction for sexual offences.

Elsewhere, a 12-year-old boy was caught after allegedly stealing a private bus and taking it for a joyride over 100km around Singapore.

#384 - Trump’s Criminal Charges Polarise America & Singaporeans Do the Right Thing With Trays

This week, Donald Trump was indicted in a Manhattan court with 34 felony charges in a historic move that has polarised the nation. We discuss the ramifications of the American justice system starting criminal proceedings against an ex-president. Closer to home, a survey has found that a higher percentage of Singapore residents now return their trays after finishing their meals at food centres, and not just because of the new fines that were implemented last year.

On Wednesday, FIFA stripped Indonesia of their hosting rights of this year's Under-20 World Cup, after a series of protests against Israel’s participation in the tournament, and several government officials’ refusal to welcome the Israeli football team.

#381 - Pork Sold at Ramadan Bazaar & Amsterdam Tells Rowdy Tourists to “Stay Away”

This past week, the organisers of a Ramadan bazaar in Woodlands had to step in to stop the sale of pork at some of its stalls. Is it really that big of a deal that there were non-Halal stalls selling pork at a pasar malam? Elsewhere, the city of Amsterdam launched a campaign to discourage rowdy tourists looking for drugs, alcohol and parties from visiting their city; the campaign is literally named “Stay Away”. Will this campaign help to change the image of Amsterdam as Europe’s party central? Find us here!
