#387 - Dee Kosh’s Tell-All Video & 12-Year-Old Steals Bus for Joyride
Dee Kosh finally released a 51-minute tell-all video in which he finally talks about his conviction for sexual offences. Reactions on social media have mostly been positive, but some have also called him out for jumping back onto social media so quickly. Why the mixed reactions? Elsewhere, a 12-year-old boy was caught after allegedly stealing a private bus and taking it for a joyride over 100km around Singapore. The reaction from the bus operator company, however, was surprising.

#386 - Dalai Lama’s “Suck My Tongue” Video & SG Livestreamer Stopped by Korean Police for Showing Boobs
The Dalai Lama is facing a huge backlash after a video of him kissing a child on the lips and telling him to “suck my tongue” at a public event went viral. Was it really just a playful gesture, or does it point to something more sinister? In Seoul, Singapore livestreamer Kiaraakitty was stopped by Korean police for “having her boobs out”. Was she really breaking any laws with her provocative outfit?

#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. Are we really becoming a more considerate society, or is there more to these numbers?

#382 - Indonesia Loses U-20 FIFA World Cup Hosting Rights & Minister Sim Ahn Disrupts Live Performance
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. How did the situation reach such a breaking point? Closer to home, Minister Sim Ahn was criticised for disrupting a live music performance at the Esplanade when she entered the venue and started greeting people in the audience. Was she really being a jerk in this instance?

#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?

#380 - Our Silence Ends Now: Our TV show “She’s A Terrorist” & Laid-off Employee Steals Snacks From Office Pantry
This past week, jobs portal Indeed announced that they would be cutting 120 employees from their Singapore office. One of their laid off employees then filmed himself on TikTok raiding the pantry’s snack shelf on a ‘final office snack run’, which won him supporters and detractors in equal measure. Who’s right? Also, on the 3-year anniversary of the HOOQ liquidation, we’re finally going public with the details of what happened to us and our TV show, “She’s A Terrorist And I Love Her”. This is as REAL as it gets on YLB!

#379 - Singaporean TikTok CEO Grilled by US Congress & Is Coke Healthier Than Milo?
This week, the CEO of TikTok, Shou Zi Chew, testified before US lawmakers, putting himself in the line of fire over the platform’s content moderation, data security, and links to the Chinese government. How did this Singaporean born and bred fare on the world stage? Closer to home, there was a big online hooha when a user on TikTok highlighted that a can of Coke has a better Nutri-Grade rating than a can of Milo. Is it true that Coke is healthier than Milo?
