– Singapore’s hawker culture makes it onto UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Will this inspire more young locals to join the trade and replace the ageing hawkers, or will the country’s hawker scene continue to struggle?
– Singapore is the first country to approve the sale of lab-grown chicken meat to the public. Will you be first in line to try it?
– Covid-19 vaccines are arriving and the Big G is paying through the nose to ensure that every resident can get inoculated by the end of 2021. While vaccination isn’t compulsory, everyone is encouraged to take it up. How safe are these vaccines though?
– Pandy Troubles: Nobody wants to talk about how the pandemic and its control measures impact the poor more severely than the wealthy.
– Rec of the Week: Use bar soaps. Smell good while saving the world.
– The Unblurring: Dyson has scrapped its $4.3 billion project in Singapore to build electric cars and we don’t know how serious they are about expanding operations in Singapore. How many other corporations are only in Singapore “on paper”?
