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.
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.
Philanthropy on social media; malnutrition among the elderly; the downstream effects of childhood privilege; the sleazy Ken Lim and Achraf Arjaouy; the first Malay woman to undergo gender-affirming surgery, in 1974; Singapore’s only stunt school closing; and more.
The PAP’s big bash; KKH and Salmon’s Maternity Home; the pros and cons of Buy Now, Pay Later; the road to sustainable cooling in a world that is heating up; RF Kuang at the Singapore Writers Festival, and more.
