This week, the Singapore Police Force arrested a group of foreigners who had amassed approximately S$1 billion worth of assets in the country, as part of one of the largest anti-money laundering operations ever. The arrests took place across multiple affluent neighbourhoods in Singapore, and the catalogue of the items seized was jaw-dropping. Why did we feel a little worried by this turn of events? In other news, Leong Mun Wai has filed a formal complaint against Murali Pillai to the Speaker of Parliament over their exchange at the last parliamentary session. Is his complaint justified, or is it petty politics?Find us here!YLB Subreddit YLB TikTok YLB IG YLB YouTubeFolkloryIf you’re looking for a meaningful gift, we’d love to help you create a personal podcast for a loved one.

This decision hasn’t been well-received, but is there any merit to these directives?

Recently, American publication Washington Post accused Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao of deferring to “Beijing narratives”. This prompted a rebuke from the Chinese newspaper, and now Singapore’s ambassador to the US has also spoken out against it. Is our local newspaper really taking sides in the US-China divide?
