    S1E14: Despite his elimination from Rap Of China, Shigga Shay still sees it as a win Aug 27, 2024
    Show notes

    Home-grown rapper Shigga Shay is the 14th guest in this music channel.

    Synopsis (headphones recommended): Each month, The Straits Times invites music acts to its podcast studio.

    In the 14th episode of Music Lab, ST’s music correspondent Eddino Abdul Hadi hosts Singaporean rapper Shigga Shay.

    The 31-year-old hip-hop artist speaks at length about his experience as the first Singaporean to take part in The Rap Of China 2024, the popular Chinese reality show (2017 to present) that looks for the country’s next rap star.

    He was among the 72 contestants out of 600 who passed the first round, and reached the 41st spot before being eliminated in the third round.

    It is still a win, he says, because his time on the show gave him a platform to reach out to a whole new fanbase in China.

    He still makes regular trips to China to work with his counterparts there on his upcoming release, a mixtape titled Hanyu Pinyin.

    Featuring verses in Mandarin, English and Hokkien, this new batch of songs reflect his identity as a multilingual rapper from Singapore who is ready to take on the global stage.

    Shigga also discusses how hip-hop helped him overcome his shyness, and how his late father gave him his stage name.

    In the episode, he also performs a rendition of his latest single, Overachieve, which will also be included in his upcoming release Hanyu Pinyin.

    1:54 On being the first Singaporean to take part in The Rap Of China

    S1E3: Visit to Windsor Nature Park: Can insects in SG's backyard be foraged? Aug 26, 2024
    Show notes

    Love or loathe them, could insects also become a food source in the wider context of the global population?

    Synopsis (headphones recommended): Green Trails is a 4-part environment podcast special for 2024 where The Straits Times hits the ground with experts.

    "Can this be eaten?” is an oft repeated question that every nature guide is familiar with.

    In July, Singapore approved 16 species of insects for human consumption, to the delight of sustainable food firms and disgust of some Singaporeans.

    But can bugs one day whet mainstream appetites like sambal stingray, a smokey South-east Asian dish crafted from the creature once considered as a “trash fish”?

    In this third episode of Green Trails, our team speaks to members of the Entomological Network of Singapore, a group of insect researchers and hobbyists, about the stories of insects in the city-state and whether these creatures can be foraged.

    At Windsor Nature Park, ST journalist Ang Qing meets Dr Sean Yap, a research fellow at Nanyang Technological University’s Tropical Ecology & Entomology Lab, Mr Foo Maosheng, a senior scientific officer at the National University of Singapore’s Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, and entomological educator and consultant James Khoo.

    For almost two hours, they go on a trail while discussing everything related to insects - from Singapore's historical link to beetle science, to how pretty privilege shapes research in the insect kingdom.

    Highlights (click/tap above):

    5:41 Singapore's historical role in beetle science

    11:18 Debunking the myth about cockroaches

    15:38 How insect as food can gain popularity akin to seafood like sambal stingray

    S1E112: Understanding China-Philippines' dangerous South China Sea face-offs Aug 22, 2024
    Show notes

    Aggression from China is driving Manila and Washington closer, spurring a loose coalition against Beijing.

    Synopsis: Every third and fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times' global contributor Nirmal Ghosh shines a light on Asian perspectives of global and Asian issues with expert guests.

    Despite talks between China and the Philippines regarding resupply of the small contingent of Philippine marines aboard the World War II era ship Sierra Madre which Manila had grounded on the disputed Second Thomas Shoal in 1999, tensions remain high in the South China Sea.

    In the latest incident, Chinese and Philippine Coast Guard vessels collided near Sabina Shoal, a disputed feature in the Spratly Islands, in the early hours of Monday, Aug 19. The vessels were damaged and though there were no casualties, Washington responded by reminding Beijing of the US's 73-year-old Mutual Defense Treaty with Manila.

    China claims most of the 1.3 million square miles of the South China Sea, including the Second Thomas Shoal, where Philippine vessels must run the gauntlet of a de facto Chinese blockade to resupply the marines on the Sierra Madre.

    The United States however, also needs to maintain a fine balance, being careful not to be too provocative and back China into a corner, says Indo-Pacific security expert Lisa Curtis, former top US official and now Senior Fellow and director of the Indo-Pacific Security Program at the Center for a New American Security in Washington, DC.

    Ms Curtis has served as deputy assistant to the US President under three successive national security advisors. She has 20 years of service in the US government including at the National Security Council, the CIA, the State Department, and Capitol Hill, specialising in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia.

    Ms Curtis guests on this episode of Asian Insider alongside Filipina writer Marites Vitug, a longtime investigative journalist and author of several books including the 2018 Rock Solid: How the Philippines Won Its Maritime Case Against China, and most recently, the just-released, co-authored Unrequited Love : Duterte's China Embrace which explores the various aspects of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's appeasement of China.

    Highlights (click/tap above):

    3:25 Why (former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte) hated the US and still dislikes it

    5:07 How far the US-Philippines relationship has progressed under President Marcos

    9:20 Why it would be helpful if there is more engagement between the Philippines and the Quad

    12:49 Provocative air manoeuvres; Chinese shooting flares right in front of the Philippines’ aircraft - is this a test of the resolve of the Philippines and the US?

    14:26 A lot of domestic support for Marcos' shift in foreign policy; how South China Sea could be a likely conflict zone besides Taiwan Strait

    17:34 Why the Marcos government should make clear to the US, what kind of help they want

    A motor industry expert connects popular culture to the success of Chinese car brands in Singapore.

    Synopsis: Every third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times offers expert insights on new vehicles or transportation trends.

    BYD is leading the sales chart in Singapore and other Chinese car brands are also making their way here. In a market where the total number of vehicle registrations is capped, the success of the newcomers comes at the cost of incumbent players.

    S1E129: Are climate and environment disclosures helping to cut carbon? Aug 17, 2024
    Show notes

    Climate and environment data disclosures are vital. But real action is needed for cutting emissions and nature protection.

    Synopsis: Every first and third Sunday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.

    There’s a saying in sustainability circles: What gets measured, gets changed.

    And this applies particularly to companies, which are the major source of carbon emissions heating up the planet. Companies are also top sources of damage to nature, especially biodiversity loss. Corporate supply chains, products and services all have a carbon and nature footprint. So, what companies, as well as cities and public institutions, decide really matters.

    But until recently, companies were under no obligation to fully measure and report their impacts and what they were doing about it.

    Times have changed. A growing number of countries, including Singapore, are mandating annual corporate climate disclosures. And likely soon, nature impact disclosures, too.

    One organisation that has been at the forefront of corporate environmental disclosures is the non-profit CDP.

    But can we really trust the data in corporate climate and environment disclosures? Who's checking? And are disclosures really making a difference?

    ST's climate change editor David Fogarty hosts Sherry Madera, chief executive of CDP, which manages an environmental disclosure system for companies, cities, states and regions.

    Highlights of conversation (click/tap above):

    2:01 What data is being provided to CDP and is it getting better?

    5:20 What percentage of companies, cities and public institutions that share data with CDP come from Asia?

    7:32 How are investors using the data given to CDP?

    9:40 What are the main gaps in the data? And where are companies, cities and others failing to take action?

    12:42 How can we really trust the data supplied to CDP? How do you check it?

    16:14 In what ways is data disclosure translating into real action on the ground? Some examples?

    S1E1: Why does it feel like Singaporeans are angry all the time? Aug 15, 2024
    Show notes

    What triggers one’s frustrations in Singapore? Even the smallest inconvenience can spark irritation, making it feel like we’re always on the edge of our temper.

    Synopsis: The Usual Place host Natasha Ann Zachariah explores contemporary societal choices and youth perspectives.

    Murals and HDB block patterns, poor service, bad food, long queues, queue cutters, ‘undeserving’ seat occupiers on public transport, slow walkers, ‘pawrents’ spending money on their furkids, XMMs — the list of what grinds Singaporeans’ gears seems to grow by the day.
    Throw in social media platforms into the mix, and the rants come fast and furious.
    There's an appetite for it - just look at the existence of Singapore-centric complaint groups online and the number of members they have. Or the TikTok videos that pop up, where people rant about a perceived slight or minor irritation. Or the people who have been caught in 4K acting out on the roads, in malls or restaurants.
    We could go on.
    Natasha goes outdoors to find out if people share this sentiment and what we can do should we encounter the Angry Person.

    S1E45: Are you paying too much for your resale HDB flat? Aug 11, 2024
    Show notes

    Two HDB resale flats had listing prices of $2 million in May, which were debunked by the authorities for being misleading and unrealistic.

    Synopsis: Every second Monday of the month, The Straits Times takes a hard look at Singapore's social issues of the day with guests.

    The authorities sat up and paid attention when a jumbo flat in Sengkang was put up for sale with an asking price of $2 million in May. Then there was a listing for a DBSS flat in Toa Payoh asking for $2 million.

    But with a record number of HDB transactions above $1million each - a phenomenon that started around 2012 - is a HDB resale flat with a price tag of $2 million permanently unrealistic?

    In this episode, ST assistant podcast editor Lynda Hong and business correspondent Sue-Ann Tan look at the percentages and context of HDB resale flats in the market with Nicholas Mak, who is now chief research officer of property search portal Mogul.sg.

    He has over 25 years of experience in the Singapore and regional real estate markets.

    1:35 Why did the agents push these $2 million HDB resale listings, which have been debunked by the authorities as unrealistic or misleading?

    3:30 Avoiding ripple effects and creating the wrong impression among other sellers and buyers

    9:54 What should potential buyers do?

    12:05 Can the government divert demand away from the resale market and delay reaching a $2m mark there?

    They discuss Ms Harris’s racial identity, her chances of victory, and whether America is heading toward being a post-race society.

    Mr Chhaya also comments on prominent Indian-Americans in the business field, including the heads of Microsoft, Google, IBM and YouTube, and why Indians seem to be doing so well in many facets of American life.
