YLB x GE2020 #5 - Did Sugar Daddy DPM Heng actually say “10 million”?
It’s DAY 5 and the “10m population” controversy is only getting more heat. Doesn’t help that the PAP used “domestic abuse” as an analogy in an official press release. We also explore why Chee Soon Juan is such a polarising figure. Elsewhere, filmmaker Anthony Chen writes an open letter to Hwa Chong, and how come there are no new Indian PAP candidates?

YLB x GE2020 #4 - Should You Vote OPPOSITION for Opposition’s Sake?
It’s DAY 4 and with all the buzz about how the OPPOSITION is “doing great”, we ask ourselves - are they really? So we try being 100% Pro-PAP and Anti-Opposition, with help from 2 online posts that have gone viral. Elsewhere, did MP Masagos make a booty call? And the real Charles Yeo (Reform Party) finally stands up.

YLB x GE2020 #2 - WP’s Jamus Lim makes the Internet thirsty
It’s DAY 2, and we’re still reeling from the excitement of the Live Debates from last night that saw PAP vs SDP vs PSP vs WP. And things got tense. So we wrap our heads around what happened then, and since. We also talk about an “advisory” Hwa Chong email, unapproved PAP banners and a REAL East Coast Plan.

YLB #64 - PAP’s Ivan Lim lights the internet (and his career) on fire & white actors leave non-white roles
Ivan Lim probably holds the record for the shortest political career in Singapore, but did he have to withdraw? Was the Internet backlash warranted? Elsewhere, actors like Kristen Bell are stepping down from non-white animated roles from hit TV shows. And cosmetics brands are removing words like “whitening” from their products. Yay or nay?

YLB #63 - WTF is happening with the Elections & another homeowner rejects an Indian tenant
It’s finally happening - elections baby! With naivety and a dose of comedy, we wrap our heads around everything that’s happened so far (brotherly feud, anyone?), and brace ourselves for what’s ahead. Elsewhere, a FB post with a screenshot of apparent discrimination against Indian tenants goes viral, but was it really racist?

YLB #62 - Pink Dot vs. the Petition from "Concerned Parents" & Holland Village restaurants get naughty
Within 36 hours, a petition by “Singapore parents” regarding the upcoming Pink Dot livestream on 27 June reached their target of 25,000 signatures. What are they petitioning about? Elsewhere, the British Indian Curry Hut at Holland Village gets in trouble for the behaviour of their customers, but can they be blamed? What about the tennis tournament with Djokovic, that just saw its first Covid19 infection?

YLB #61 - The PAP picks on playwright Alfian Sa’at & an Influencer rants about her helper on Instagram
Everyone knows the elections are coming, but did PAP Minister Tan Wu Meng have to resort to a personal attack on Alfian, based solely on his Facebook Posts? Or is that a sign of things to come? Elsewhere, Jessica Loh (@shiberty) caused a furore after calling her domestic helper a “c*nt” and “b*itch), and locked horns with an advocacy group. Was it just a harmless rant?

YLB #60 - ST survey causes controversy after deeming artists “non-essential” & podcasters OKLETSGO get backlash
A Sunday Times article named the top 5 essential and non-essential jobs, based on a survey. And “Artists” were deemed the most non-essential, but is that fair? Elsewhere, after OKLETSGO, Singapore’s top podcast, got backlash for apparent misogyny, some of their fans went after the detractors. But how responsible should artists be for their fans’ behaviour?
