Singaporeâs Electoral Boundaries Review Committee has released its long-awaited report, remaking constituencies ahead of the imminent GE2025. With more MPs, redrawn boundaries, and reconstituted double-barrel GRCs, are these justified adjustments? Or are online commentatorsâ accusations of gerrymandering valid? Meanwhile, Lady Gaga has chosen Singapore as her only Asia tour stop - sparking excitement and, of course, disappointment from Little Monsters around the region. In Parliament, Minister Edwin Tong clarified that no grants were given to the artist and her team, so why did she skip other Asian countries? Was this purely a business decision, or did Singapore pull some unseen strings?

Last week in Parliament, Minister of Manpower Dr Tan See Leng chided PSPâs Leong Mun Wai with a viral Cantonese movie quote that is dividing public opinion. Was it a power move, or unnecessary condescension on his part? Meanwhile, Workers' Party MP Jamus Lim is pushing for Thaipusam to be reinstated as a public holiday, arguing that Singaporeâs public holiday distribution is unequal. But will the government ever consider adding another day off?

We return with our first YLB Live show of 2025! In this episode, we talk about the government tightening rules on Personal Mobility Aids (PMAs), by introducing speed limits and medical certification requirements. Are these necessary safety measures, or will they unfairly penalize legitimate users? Meanwhile, a Singapore PR is offering a $2,000 âbountyâ to anyone who introduces her to a suitor, and if they date for at least six months. Is this a brilliant dating hack or just another sign of our ultra-transactional society? We also had an audience member come on for a fan segment, and many felt like he should have had his own podcast! See you at the next live show!

The NRIC unmasking saga is far from over - after a thorough investigation, a 36-page report reveals how a âconfluence of shortcomingsâ led to the NRIC kerfuffle under ACRAâs watch. But while no "deliberate wrongdoing" was found, will there be accountability of the key personnel involved? Meanwhile, the SCDF is set to hire foreigners for emergency medical services, citing manpower shortages amid Singaporeâs declining birth rate. Are these valid reasons for searching for foreign talent?

A heated GST debate erupted this week as Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh accused the government of âturbocharging inflationâ with the timing of the GST hike. Academic Ben Leong pushed back on this âirritatingâ assertion via a social media post, and Minister Shanmugam even agreed by sharing his post. But whoâs actually right? Meanwhile, the great Pickleball noise war rages on in Marine Parade, with frustrated residents forcing changes to court usage hours. Are we killing the kampung spirit with all our strict rules?

The latest Graduate Employment Survey shows that fewer fresh graduates in Singapore are landing full-time jobs within six months of graduation, despite median starting salaries rising by 4%. Are Singapore degrees losing their value, or are AI and global competition changing the game? Meanwhile, a coupleâs dream trip to Venice turned into a nightmare when they were seated next to a dead body for 4 hours on their Qatar Airways flight. How did this happen, and what do airlines actually do when someone dies mid-air?

The Montfort Secondary School bullying incident has shocked Singapore, with a viral video showing students attacking a fellow classmate. Despite the school's claim of "appropriate disciplinary actions", the victimâs mother is speaking out, demanding transparency. Are schools doing enough, or is it time for harsher punishments? Meanwhile, a new task force report suggests grants for coffee shop owners to clean their infamously dirty toilets. But should taxpayers foot the bill for this?

A Total Defence food resilience exercise took a wrong turn when 20 students fell ill after eating ready-to-eat meals catered by SATS, a major food supplier. With 100,000 meals already distributed, should the program be paused completely? Meanwhile, a Nasi Lemak hawker has publicly questioned the requirement for hawkers to be physically present at their stalls everyday, thus putting the National Environment Agencyâs tenancy rules under the spotlight. Are NEAâs requirements outdated, or necessary to protect hawker culture?

While no one will say no to budget goodies, are the deeper issues such as Singaporeâs cost of living and fertility woes being addressed?

Pritam Singh, Singaporeâs Leader of the Opposition, has been convicted of lying to Parliamentâs Committee of Privileges, marking a historic first for a political leader. Even with a $14,000 fine, he still remains eligible to contest GE2025, but what does this mean for the Workers' Party? Meanwhile, a Straits Times feature on Singaporeâs incels sparks heated debate among online commenters, who took issue with NS grievances being categorised as part of the local incel movement. Is there any truth to the labeling though?

Join us for a heartfelt episode of Yah Lah BUT that starts on the grassy patch of Crawford Heights, then transitions to a scenic ride along the Kallang River on a trishaw, because why not? From diaper disasters to dad jokes, we reflect on Hareshâs first couple of months of fatherhood, and exchange stories of the wild ride of modern parenting. We debate the perks of prime HDB locations (hello, Kallang Basin views!) and the lifesaving magic of flexible work arrangements. But itâs not all baby talk! We also delve into the future for young parents in Singapore; from more affordable public housing options, to more parental leave to share between couples. As a bonus, we even bump into some otters along the way! So grab your picnic blankets and get on for the wild (trishaw) ride of modern parenting!

Former Transport Minister S Iswaran has been moved to home detention just four months into his 12-month jail term, sparking a wave of online backlash. How does the Home Detention Scheme actually work, and is this standard procedure or VIP treatment?

From new restraining orders to stricter controls on foreign influence, we break down the biggest changes.

Donald Trump wastes no time in blaming diversity policies for a deadly air crash, doubling down on claims that hiring standards have fallen. His controversial remarks have sparked outrageâare they grounded in fact or just another political distraction? Meanwhile, in Singapore, a self-styled âroad vigilanteâ has been fined for modifying his car with emergency lights and a stretcher to respond to accidents. Is he a misguided hero or a public safety risk? We break down Trumpâs latest controversy and Singaporeâs bizarre roadside first responder.

On this episode, we chat with Mr. Tan Suee Chieh, former CEO of NTUC Income and NTUC Enterprise. Suee Chieh was a key voice raising concerns about the Income-Allianz deal when it first broke, and weâve been trying to get him on the show since last October. After some scheduling delays, we finally made it happen in December 2024, and it was a super insightful conversation, where he talked about what it takes to build an exceptional culture, why he took the step of going public with his views about the deal, and why he believes we need to âreimagineâ Singapore. If you have questions for him or want him back for more on this topic, drop a comment below!

Donald Trump is officially back as the 47th President of the United States, and his inauguration speech felt more like a Game of Thrones coronation than a traditional ceremony. With Elon Musk and Americaâs billionaires front and center, we break down the key takeaways from Trumpâs big return. Meanwhile, a scholarship ad by Hwa Chong International School sparked online outrage after netizens spotted the student in the ad wearing $1,690 Christian Dior sneakers. Is this an out-of-touch flex, or are we all overreacting?

In a recent speech, Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh made a bold call for one-third opposition representation in Parliament and for unity amongst Workersâ Party cadre. What does this mean for WPâs GE2025 strategy? Elsewhere, Pakistan International Airlines just had the PR fail of the yearâ its celebration of the resumption of flights to Paris ended up looking way too much like 9/11. How did this get passed?
