YLB #157 - Taking “umbrage” at Khaw BW's role at SPH & the foreigner who didn’t want to wear a mask
On 6 May, SPH announced that it was spinning off its media business into a non-profit arm. At the press conference, the SPH CEO lost his cool and created the buzzword of the year in "umbrage". More controversial details have emerged of how the SG government will support SPH's plans, including bringing ex-minister Khaw Boon Wan back as the chairman of the new entity. Elsewhere, someone on the MRT was filmed not wanting to wear a mask. People were calm, unlike the other confrontations that happened. Even the PM issuing a statement! WTF is going on?

YLB #156 - The new S’porean CEO of TikTok & is Will Smith a SELL OUT?
On 1 May 2021, it was announced that Chew Shou Zi, a Singaporean, will be the new CEO of TikTok. But why did his nationality cause so much debate in SG internet about “how Singaporean” he is? Elsewhere, Will Smith shared his dad bod on Instagram and got lots of praise. 2 days later, he announced his new show about getting fit. Was his “honesty” just a marketing gimmick?

After local retailer Naiise announced that they’ll be closing their last outlet at Jewel Changi Airport, news spread that some vendors are still owed up to $10,000. Cue debt collectors, but are they even legal? And is Naiise to be pitied or to be chastised? Elsewhere, Innisfree got flak for their “paper bottle” which one user realised has a PLASTIC bottle inside. False marketing or no?
