An explosive new paper on housing; duty, dollars, and democracy; AI agents gone rogue; lessons from medieval trade; and more.
Sharifah Maznah and Faezah Shaharuddin, a mother-daughter entrepreneurial duo, have a relationship to trees, wood, and furniture that reveals much about how we're all connected.
Glitches in the LawSoc matrix; the oppressive economics of parcel delivery; culling crows in our City in Nature; another rich Singaporean buys a football club; and more.
Now more than fifty years old, the zombie-like persistence of Sentosa’s Japanese surrender waxworks suggests there is more to the exhibit than meets the eye. A Singapore story cast without Singaporeans, it tells us as much about those who observe, as those depicted.
Finally, some scrutiny of GIC, Temasek; Aussie kids banned from social media; our relationship with skateboarding; perfumes, scents, and odours; a ride through Singapore’s playgrounds; a safe and Sinophone year for the Cultural Medallion; and more.
We honour the public figures who left for the great beyond this year after indelibly shaping Singapore’s social, cultural, political, and artistic worlds.
What happens when we turn to machines that approximate humanity, for our very human troubles?
Anjani Sinha; Raeesah-gate finally closes; new treatment modalities for mild depression; South-east Asia’s winds of fate; the young and the homeless; and more.
