Cold Storage’s curious anniversary; the perils of live commerce; changing home ownership mores; a fascinating historical saga stretching across Egypt, Singapore, and Indonesia; and the renaissance of dinner theatre.
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 offer you Jom’s opinionated view on them. We’re hoping you’ll occasionally (often?) disagree with us.
Causeway escapades; the age of the man and the machine; pet projects; freediving; and a new Tamil theater festival.
Criticism of Wong’s new cabinet; WP’s new economic plan; the space programme; uneven access to credit; and more.
Our new Gods; heat inequality in Singapore, three teens detained under ISA; Singapore out of Marmite; Bali run excludes Indonesians; and more.
India's cockroaches; Faishal's indiscretions; poltergeist AIs; colonialism and the new Circle Line stations; and more.
The Bloomberg defamation case; robots in construction; home interiors as products in the creator economy; a play exploring the dark side of army days; and more.
