MOH is allegedly looking into tightening rules on MCs after receiving feedback about doctors issuing them improperly. What does this mean for employees who are genuinely sick? Elsewhere, it appears that surge pricing has come to concerts in Singapore, specifically for the Hamilton musical, and Laufey’s upcoming concert.

In anticipation of Lawrence Wong taking over as PM next week, he sat down for a wide-ranging interview with The Economist magazine. What did we learn about the PM-designate and his leadership style in this piece? Elsewhere, Singaporeans lamented the loss of yet another local icon; this time, it’s Thambi Magazine Store at Holland Village.

This week in Parliament, MPs debated about road safety in Singapore after the recent accident in Tampines that killed two people. While penalties under the Road Traffic Act have been deemed to be adequate vis-a-vis other countries, why are people calling for increasing them?

In Lawrence Wong’s speech at Samaritans of Singapore’s gala dinner, he suggested that  Singapore will consider additional safeguards around excessive screen time and social media usage for children in order to protect their mental health. Is this considered government overreach?

The impending implementation of the new ERP system has caused a ruckus online, with many criticising the new 3-piece hardware to be installed on the dashboards of all Singapore vehicles. Is the criticism justified? Elsewhere, an SGAG video commissioned by the union representing security workers has stirred up a war of words with another industry association, which lambasted the buffoonery of the characters in the video.

OCBC’s private banking arm, Bank of Singapore, allegedly fired up to 40 employees after probing claims of medical benefits abuse. Was it fair for the bank to fire these individuals even after they had returned the money from the aforementioned benefit claims? Elsewhere, a parent sounded a warning about a Sentosa hotel where his teenage daughter had attended a party with a group of guys and alcohol. However, many online commentators criticised the parent instead, saying that he was blaming the hotel for his daughter’s behaviour, which should have been his responsibility.

This past week, the US President signed a bill that has been described effectively as a ban on social media app TikTok. What will the next 9-12 months entail for the Singapore-headquartered business, and should content creators start moving to other platforms?
