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. Was the SGAG skit really that bad?

We had a conversation with Palestinian lawyer Hanan Sahmoud to talk about what she learnt from Singapore after spending a year here, her experience living under occupation in the West Bank, and what everyday Singaporeans can do to help the situation in Gaza.

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. Where does the fault lie?

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? Closer to home, a home-based business got flak for leaving a series of rude messages to delivery riders outside their premises, with some consumers promising to boycott the business in response. Are people overreacting, or should businesses be more mindful of their words?

Last week, Law and Home Affairs Minister Shanmugam clapped back at British publication The Economist with a rebuttal of their article about Lawrence Wong succeeding Lee Hsien Loong as PM. His Facebook post drew many comparisons between the UK and Singapore, and so far has seen a mixed reaction from online commentators. What could have been the impetus behind the response to the “sneer”? Elsewhere, a survey revealed that 1 in 2 Singapore workers would quit their job if asked to be in the office more often. Is this just a strawberry generation mindset, or does it point to societal attitudes towards work-life balance?

We knew this was coming, but it still surprised us when it was finally announced. DPM Lawrence Wong will be taking over as Singapore’s Prime Minister come 15th May. Are we ready for a new PM? What does this announcement mean for the timing of the upcoming General Elections? Elsewhere, authorities announced that all employers must institute a process for workers to make formal requests for flexible work arrangements from December onwards. Does this move the needle on employment welfare, or is it just a grand wayang?
