Human cost and opaque retrenchment practices

Mark Tan of Rice Media joins us in the YLB studio to debate retrenchment benefits, after SMS Koh Poh Koon defended keeping retrenchment payouts non-mandatory, while WP’s Pritam Singh suggested differentiated rules for bigger firms. We also cross the line to talk about Amos Yee’s letter to the Singapore government to oppose his impending deportation back to Singapore, and public reactions to his possible return. Should we want him back?
