Is it Bad Behaviour Week in Singapore? A condominium guard threw an order of bubble tea at a delivery rider who did not have the unit number, and a woman helped her driver to cut into a busy lane by getting out of the car and standing in the middle of the lane! What could they have been thinking, and why are such incidents so unsurprising these days? Back to weigh in on these incidents are Team YLBâs Tristen and Dom!

From 2026, MOE is making it easier for students to qualify for Higher Mother Tongue classes. But why is studying your language at a more difficult level so desirable in Singapore? We ask former Higher Chinese student and now theatre practitioner (in both English and Chinese!) Jo Tan. Also, we discuss the growing trend of micro-weddings, and whether they address the problems of organising traditional big weddings, or create problems of their own!!

What, another case of blackface in Singapore? We discuss a car dealershipâs recent promo video that features a staff member in dark makeup. It directly references an African-themed meme so we ask: is this racism, or just cringe humour? How does this compare with other instances of blackface / brownface weâve seen? Hear our takes on pigeons as we talk about a woman who has fed so many of them in Yishun, that the National Parks Board (NParks) is stepping in to control their numbers. Bringing younger perspectives to these issues are Team YLBâs very own Tristen and Dom, finally making their on-camera debut!

Our latest guest Jack Sim brings a touch of good olâ toilet humour onto YLB! As the founder of the World Toilet Organization that initiated the United Nations World Toilet Day, Jack is a self-made man who has his sights set on improving world sanitation from right here in Singapore. But rather than the usual tropes about his background, in this wide ranging discussion, we lift the lid on why he believes coffeeshop toilets will always be third-world, his â4 Jacksâ framework for dealing with bureaucrats, and why he thinks the Singaporean education system needs a major overhaul.

PM Wong made a rare visit on Tuesday morning to the Basic Military Training Centre on Pulau Tekong, and even completed a 1.8km run alongside a group of army recruits. Some online have called this move âwayangâ, and demanded real political action to help National Service personnel instead. Are they asking for too much? Elsewhere, Toast Box received flak for raising prices for the second time in less than 2 years, and responded by releasing a defensive press statement which said that âthis decision was not made lightlyâ. Are we paying too much for kopi and toast?

With Haresh finally back from his well-deserved babymoon in Bali, we resume our regular format! We address the big announcement from last weekâs National Day Rally: the extra 10 weeks of Government-paid parental leave that can be shared between new parents. How are business federations and SMEs reacting to the announcement? Counterintuitively, will it lead to more gender discrimination at work? Also, we discuss a recent incident in Bishan where a community event queue was hijacked by people who tried to use pebbles and plastic bags to hold their place in line. In the same vein as the very Singaporean act of âchopingâ, is this acceptable social behaviour?

Private bus company Westpoint Transit was recently in the news for its salary offer of up to $5,000 for bus drivers. The response to the recruitment drive was overwhelming, with over 1,400 applicants, and even 5 uni grads among the 30 drivers that were finally hired. Lionel Lee, director of Westpoint Transit, makes a stop at the YLB studio to tell us why they decided on this bold move, the challenges of navigating a family business, and why itâs crucial to encourage more Singaporeans to become bus drivers. Oh, we also nerd out on artisanal buses.

Veteran diplomat Kishore Mahbubani stops by the YLB studio to talk about his recently-launched memoir, Living in the Asian Century, which covers his storied career spanning diplomacy, academia, and even a stint as Singaporeâs Ambassador to the United Nations. In spite of everything heâs seen and accomplished in the past 75 years, why does Kishore think the next 10 years are going to be even more exciting? We dig into his criticisms of the Western powers, why Chinaâs growth is crucial for stability, and why he still hopes that the West can turn things around. He also speaks about the exceptional generation of leaders that Singapore had, and why Singaporeans can and should be optimistic about the future.

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has been at the centre of a gender controversy at the Paris Olympics, with some accusing her of actually being a man competing in a womenâs competition. Now that sheâs claimed a gold medal, and subsequently filed a harassment complaint, we go through the nuts and bolts of the controversy. Closer to home, the police were called in over an act of vandalism on the Pandan Gardens Resident Network National Day decorations. A 23-year-old man is being investigated, but was this really something that required police intervention?

How did this lapse occur, and what can be done to help the students who lost years of notes? Also, residents of Holland Road were shocked to find out that an international housebreaking syndicate had targeted their estates, leading them to question whether theyâd been too complacent with their safety.

With the recent spotlight on the Income-Allianz deal, we wanted to get a better understanding of Incomeâs original social mission and why people are feeling anxious about the deal. So we got former NTUC Income CEO Tan Kin Lian himself to come by the YLB studio to give us a âNTUC Income 101â lesson based on his 30 years of experience leading the cooperative. We go into the nuts and bolts about why policyholders need more assurance, whether NTUC Incomeâs original social mission is still relevant, and how Tan thinks this saga will play out.

The opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics has outraged conservatives around the world, with an apparent depiction of da Vinciâs âLast Supperâ painting featuring drag queens. The organisers have clarified that the performance wasnât actually based on da Vinciâs painting, but religious groups and far right commentators are still calling for a boycott. Is the outrage warranted? Closer to home, politician Lim Tean recently posted a rant about an NDP poster featuring a 10-year-old child, and linked it to problems with Singaporeâs immigration policies. Some have called out Lim Tean for his xenophobia and cyberbullying, but is there any merit to his complaints?

Get ready for an unfiltered conversation as Ho Kwon Ping, Founder and Executive Chairman of Banyan Group, drops by the YLB studio. He's here to unveil his latest book, Behind The Banyan, and share hard-hitting lessons from his 30-year "badass" entrepreneurial journey. We dig into the dark side of meritocracy, why he thinks young people are âsleepwalking through lifeâ, and whether he blames Lee Kuan Yew for his stint behind bars.

Grab officially ended its pursuit of a buyout of Trans-Cab after Singapore's competition watchdog announced that it believed the deal would result in "a substantial lessening of competition" in the local ride hailing scene. Was this turn of events a win for consumers? Elsewhere, Raffles Institution has drawn flak after a photo of a student dressed as a delivery rider for Racial Harmony Day made its rounds on the internet. Was it a malicious action on the studentâs part? What made the costume particularly offensive in Singaporeâs context?

Allianzâs plans to buy a majority stake in Singaporeâs Income Insurance have sparked concerns among some Singaporeans, with prominent figures like Tommy Koh and the ex-CEO of NTUC Income speaking up against the sale. Will this move really affect Singaporeanâs insurance policies, or are we missing the forest for the trees? Elsewhere, the captain of the Japanese womenâs gymnastics team, Shoko Miyata, withdrew from the Olympic Games after admitting to smoking and drinking alcohol, in violation of her teamâs stated rules. Was this move too harsh on the young athlete?

The tumultuous US presidential election took another strange turn this weekend, as incumbent US president Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race and his endorsement of VP Kamala Harris to take his place. What led to his sudden reversal, and realistically, does Harris stand a chance against Trump? Elsewhere, the familiar blue and white slippers that are often worn in Singaporean homes were spotted for sale at $1,645 in a Saudi Arabia store. What are we missing here? Was this a prank, or just genius marketing?
