Rishi steps up to the plate of guest host, bringing the Sindhi presence back onto the podcast! This week, we talk about the elephant in the room, the MRT East-West line disruption. As Singapore reels from the massive disruption, we sift through the chatter online and try to figure out: who’s to blame? Also, strangely enough, Rishi himself got in the news this week, where he trolled a scam caller from Pakistan. We break down the phone call and the elaborate ruses that scammers are coming up with these days.

Just 2 days removed from F1, the trial of S Iswaran coincidentally begins…with a twist! The prosecution has amended charges of corruption against the former Minister, and he has pleaded guilty to the 5 outstanding charges. Is it over before it has even begun? What is happening here? At the same time, viral livestreamer iShowSpeed continues his whirlwind Southeast Asia tour in Singapore, crossing paths with Simu Liu, Tan Jianhao and… YLB’s very own Dom? Hear our resident Gen Zs Tristen and Dom explain the appeal of iShowSpeed to young people, in their final appearance as guests hosts before Haresh returns!

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 YLB’s 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 dealership’s 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 we’ve 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 YLB’s very own Tristen and Dom, finally making their on-camera debut!

Our latest guest Jack Sim brings a touch of good ol’ 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 “4 Jacks” 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 “wayang”, 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 “this decision was not made lightly”. 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 week’s 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 “choping”, 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 it’s crucial to encourage more Singaporeans to become bus drivers.

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 Singapore’s Ambassador to the United Nations. In spite of everything he’s 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 China’s 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 women’s competition. Now that she’s 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?

The Ministry of Education disclosed that device management app Mobile Guardian, which is installed on most personal learning devices, was recently hacked, resulting in 13,000 students getting their devices remotely wiped. 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 they’d been too complacent with their safety. Do Singaporeans take their safety for granted?

With the recent spotlight on the Income-Allianz deal, we wanted to get a better understanding of Income’s 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 “NTUC Income 101” 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 Income’s original social mission is still relevant, and how Tan thinks this saga will play out.

A property agent has been POFMAed for a video that made false claims about the HDB’s Ethnic Integration Policy. We analysed the video and the POFMA order to try and figure out the truth. Elsewhere, a series of social media posts by the Ministry of Finance featuring images of Singaporean families generated by AI, has drawn flak from online commenters. Why the outrage over some AI images?

The opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics has outraged conservatives around the world, with an apparent depiction of da Vinci’s “Last Supper” painting featuring drag queens. The organisers have clarified that the performance wasn’t actually based on da Vinci’s 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 Singapore’s 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 “sleepwalking through life”, 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 student’s part? What made the costume particularly offensive in Singapore’s context?
