The ruling People’s Action Party turned 70, and has officially entered its Lawrence Wong era. At its ginormous biennial conference, our new PM formally took over as the party’s Secretary-General. Of course, we had to read between the lines and dissect his speech, as hype builds towards next year’s general election. Is that the oft-mentioned “fear-mongering” about the Opposition we’re hearing? And just how hard is it to recruit new blood? Speaking of which, an inventor-turned Hokkien Mee seller found it hard to recruit cooks, so he ordered a robot from Wuhan and programmed it to fry Hokkien Mee with his own recipe. We give our verdict!

A heated GST debate erupted this week as Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh accused the government of “turbocharging inflation” with the timing of the GST hike. Academic Ben Leong pushed back on this “irritating” assertion via a social media post, and Minister Shanmugam even agreed by sharing his post. But who’s 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?

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.

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 “reimagine” Singapore.
