#297 - Johnny Depp wins defamation case against Amber Heard & SG woman goes on vengeful Dior spree
Johnny Depp emerged victorious in the defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard. We discuss the trial and the verdict, and ask what the future holds for their Hollywood careers. Who is the real winner here, or is there even one? Elsewhere, a Singaporean woman heard that her mother had been disrespected by a Sales Associate at a Dior outlet in Italy, and decided to return to the store to seek revenge. She ended up spending lavishly under the watch of another Sales Associate in the same store just to spite the one who had ignored her mother. We ask: was this a weak clapback, or was it just an embellished flex?

#296 - NUH junior doctor video sparks discussions & Japanese man spends $21,600 to be a dog
A graduate from the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine was filmed in an interview sharing how physically and mentally draining his current job as a junior doctor is. Once the video was published on the school’s Facebook page, reactions and comments started pouring in from all sides. What are people making a fuss about with regards to the video? In Japan, a man paid approximately $21,600 to create a hyper-realistic dog costume that he can wear, and therefore fulfil his fantasy of being a dog. His homemade YouTube videos have since gone viral; again, what’s the fuss about a man dressed as a dog?

#295 - Gillman Barracks F&B tenants asked to re-tender or leave & Simu Liu stirs debate about Henry Golding’s casting in CRA
The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) announced that Gillman Barracks would be getting a $2 million facelift to rejuvenate the locale. However, several current F&B tenants were left high and dry, as they were asked to retender or leave, in spite of having ultimately survived COVID. How is this fair? Elsewhere, Simu Liu sparked an internet war about the casting of Crazy Rich Asians with his comments on a podcast. We look into this war of words and whether Simu Liu actually deserved to be casted in the movie.

#294 - MOM mandates monthly rest day for migrant domestic workers & Ms Puiyi wears see-through top in London Museum
Minister of State for Manpower Gan Siow Huang announced that the Ministry of Manpower will be implementing a mandatory rest day every month for migrant domestic workers. We discuss why this new rule is being implemented, and how it will impact labour conditions for migrant workers. Elsewhere, Malaysian influencer/model Ms Puiyi has caused more controversy by posting an IG picture of her wearing a see-through top in a London Museum. We question: who was really offended? Are there any taboos about baring your chest in a museum? Does anyone even care about nipples in 2022?

#293 - Joseph Schooling calls for national dialogue on NS & Pink Dot called out for lack of inclusivity
Fresh off winning 2 gold medals at the SEA Games, Joseph Schooling called for a national dialogue on expectations of athletes serving their National Service. We discuss why this call is more significant than a similar rallying cry from Soh Rui Yong a few weeks ago, and why it’s necessary to talk about it now. On Instagram, the organisation behind Pink Dot was singled out by the account SGbrownqueers for its apparent lack of inclusivity, and turning a blind eye to other anti-discrimination causes. Is there trouble brewing before next month’s Pink Dot 2022?

#292 - Elon Musk puts Twitter bid on hold & companies luring workers back to office with food and parties
Elon Musk said on Tuesday that the purchase of Twitter would not go ahead unless he was given further assurances on the extent of fake/spam accounts on the platform. Some critics have derided this as a convenient excuse in light of the global stock market tumble, but is there merit to his demands? Back home, Singapore companies are starting to throw parties and offering perks to encourage workers to return to the office. Will Singapore workers bite?

#291 - Singapore Catholic order member convicted of sex crime & young passenger scalded by boiling tea on Qatar Airways flight
In early May, a man who was part of a Catholic religious order that established a school in Singapore was convicted of sex crimes with two teenage boys that occurred in the ‘00s. Online commentators are still asking a lot of questions about this case, so we dissect what these questions are and why they’re being asked. Elsewhere, a 4-year-old girl was severely scalded on her thighs by a cup of hot tea on a Qatar Airways flight. The mother blames the poor design of the tray table, even though she was the one who spilled the tea. We discuss if the airline should shoulder the blame for this unfortunate incident.

#290 - Should Singaporean women do NS & Elon Musk wants to reverse Twitter ban on Donald Trump
The age-old debate of women donning green as SAF conscripts came up in Parliament via the new MPs Carrie Tan and Poh Li-San. Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen shot down the suggestion very quickly, but we discuss whether there’s any merit to his answer. Elsewhere, Elon Musk declares that Twitter permabans need to be gotten rid off as they are anti free-speech. This action would include reinstating Trump’s account. We discuss the likelihood of this happening and speculate about Twitter’s future under Elon Musk.

#289 - Gov.sg Hari Raya Ad pulled after backlash & Goh Chok Tong’s scarecrow photo ruffles feathers
What a long weekend full of kerfuffles! The Ministry of Communications and Information removed its Hari Raya ad after it faced criticism for its supposed stereotyping of Malay families. Is it really stereotyping though? Also, Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong’s Hari Raya post was deemed by many to be “tone-deaf” as it featured him taking a picture with a scarecrow dressed in traditional Malay garb. He later clarified that some people had “misinterpreted the post as portraying Malays/Muslims as ‘scarecrows’”. Again, we examine if there’s any offence to be taken with his photo, and discuss how he can overcome this PR boo-boo.
