Singapore This Week
Singapore This Week is one of Jom’s paid products. It is meant to be your end-of-week catchup. We will decide on the most important stories that week–from arts to politics and tech–and we will offer you Jom’s opinionated view on them. We’re hoping you’ll occasionally (often?) disagree with us.
Trump amok; new year, old troubles for Pritam Singh; NMPs and party affiliations; a tribute to M Ravi; the experience economy; domestic violence against men; funfairs; 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.
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.
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.
Lawrence Wong incurs Chinese ire; our designer future; more executed under MDP for drugs; rhino woes; avians and architecture; and more.
