Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses Singapore's latest news and announcements in this weekly podcast.
The Straits Times' Zakir Hussain, Singapore editor at The Straits Times, speaks with Money FM 89.3's Timothy Goh and Bharati Jagdish.
A repeal of a long-contested law criminalising gay sex are among the key announcements in Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's National Day Rally speech on Sunday (Aug 21). Section 377A of the Penal Code, which criminalises sex between men, will be repealed, said PM Lee.
He added that sentiments have shifted over the years as more Singaporeans accept that sex in private between consenting men should not be a criminal offence.
In this week's episode, the team unpacks the key issues around Section 377A.

Synopsis: The Straits Times' executive editor Sumiko Tan gets up close with newsmakers over lunch - and a selfie.
Anderson Tanoto is a scion of the RGE group, which includes one of the world's largest paper and pulp producers. He talks about how he fights critics of its sustainability record.
RGE, which is headquartered in Singapore, deals in fibre, palm oil and gas. It has assets of US$25 billion (S$34 billion) and a workforce of 60,000 in Singapore, Indonesia, China, Brazil and Canada. Among many other things, it produces Paper One copier paper, viscose fibre used in textile, and palm oil.
Combined, RGE's companies have more than 1 million ha of forests in Indonesia and Brazil. That's the size of about 14 Singapores.
Mr Tanoto, 33 - fresh-faced, earnest, enlightened and Wharton-trained - is RGE's answer to naysayers. He has focused on sustainability, conservation and business transformation since he joined the group in 2013 at the age of 24.

Synopsis: Every first and third Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you.
In Singapore, deaths happen more in hospitals than in the patients' own homes, even though a Lien Foundation survey conducted back in 2014 had found that many people would prefer to die at home, surrounded by loved ones. Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said recently that the governmentwants to help more people fulfil this wish by boosting palliative care support. Conversations about death and dying are difficult but crucial to understanding a person's end-of-life wishes, as well as the fact that dying is a part of life.
In this episode, ST senior health correspondent Joyce Teo hosts Clinical Associate Professor Alethea Yee, a senior consultant from the Division of Supportive & Palliative Care at the National Cancer Centre Singapore. She was the head of the division before she was seconded to Assisi Hospice to be the Clinical Director in 2018. Dr Yee is also the deputy head of the SingHealth Duke-NUS Supportive & Palliative Care Centre as well as the education director of the Lien Centre for Palliative Care at Duke-NUS.
She asks Dr Yee what can be done to make it possible for more end-of-life patients to die at home if they want to do so. They both talk about the role of day hospices as well as the challenges and some recent developments in the palliative care sector.
This is Part Two of their conversation on palliative care. In the first episode, they discuss what palliative care is about, how it can help a person live well before leaving, and the story of a patient who received the help she needed to fulfil her last wish.
Highlights (click/tap above):
0.52 What can be done to help more patients die at home if they wish to?
3:00 Mindset shift of Singapore's society
5:15 Who can benefit from hospice and daycare services?
6:29 Are people more receptive to day hospice centres?
8:05 Challenges and changes in the palliative care sector
