The pleasures and perils of coffee; mRNA vaccines; Tiffany Teo at the Asian Games; zapin in South-east Asia; and more.
On memory, meaning, and the stories we tell ourselves.
A gift may be an economic decision, but behavioural science reveals the real drivers: signalling, warm-glow, and the social rules that shape how we give.
Jom staff share their picks for books, music, podcasts, movies, TV, and more.
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.
