  Speaker 1: really enjoys watching musicals, aside from Monkey Goes West, which
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: will be staged very soon, all thanks to our friends
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: over at Wild Rice. If you love international musicals coming
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to Singapore, chances are
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: It will be staged at maybe say the Marina Bay
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Sands Theater or maybe even the Esplanade Theater as well.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: And if you walk past Marina Bay Sands, you would
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: have seen the banners already. Playing very soon will be Cats,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the Musical, and I think for Cats, um,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: OK. Personal take. I think we as the audience are
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: all waiting for that one song, Memory, All Alone in
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the moonlight. That's the one. And then come next year
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: in February, if you love Moulin Rouge.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Rouge the Musical playing at Marina Bay Sands Theater in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the month of February, and this one, I cannot wait.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I really want to see how it's staged here in Singapore,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the official one for the month of August next year, 2027.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: MJ the Musical, it will be in town.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And yes, Michael Jackson fever hitting Singapore again. Aside from
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the movie earlier in the year and now next year
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in August, we have the musical to look forward to.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: So there you go. I believe tickets are available and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: hopefully here on 987 as we draw closer to maybe
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: say Moulin Rouge the Musical or MJ the Musical, we
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: can bring in some of the stars and have a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: chat with them. On the topic of the BCRS.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Machines and I actually did a campaign to launch it
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: with them in April and I told myself, hey, if
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do something like this, I better practice what
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I preach. So I have been actively going to the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: BCRS machine very near my place just to put the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: cans and the bottles in and get my 10 cents
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: back times how many cans of bottles I put in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to my DBS payer, or you could use it for
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: your Simply Go Ey link as well. But there is something.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: The thing that we've been noticing, not just in the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: area of Bishan, but I'm very sure other areas here
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in Singapore that maybe at these machines, you're seeing people
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: queuing up with bags of cans and bottles, and they
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: just stand there and they happily recycle everything. We're getting
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: some heartwarming articles of kids doing it, of uncles and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: aunties accumulating enough to maybe say reach the four-figure range. Wow.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But there is speculation.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that some people could be rummaging through the dustbins and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to say this in a in a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: condescending or demeaning way, but this is behavior that we've
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: we are no stranger to here in Singapore because I
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: remember
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I think it was a few years ago, could be 10,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: could be 15 years ago, where I remember whenever I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: dined at the hawker center, there'll be an uncle or
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: auntie asking me, boy, do you want that can or not?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: And I say, you can have it, uncle or auntie.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: So they'll take the can and put it in the plastic.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: bag and they'll go to other tables asking for people
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: for their cans or bottles, to which maybe that behavior
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: is slowly returning to Singapore, but here's the thing, if
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you're the kind of person that throws your can or
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: bottle away after you dine, despite the BCRS still being there.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't mind letting the uncle or auntie
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: have it, but in terms of rummaging through the rubbish
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: bins for the BCRS bottles and cans, according to Environment Minister,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Minister Grace Fu, she has said that it's against the law.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: It includes removing items from public bins or leaving slash
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: spilling waste on the ground.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: And the NEA has said that it will take enforcement
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: action against people who commit these offenses. So, there you go, that,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that's the official word for it, but
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: To what, to be fair and not to defend this
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: kind of behavior, but if people have to rummage through
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the dustbins to pull out the BCRS cans to get
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: as much 10 cents as they can get for any
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: can or bottle they put in the machine, it makes
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you wonder why they have to resort to this kind
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of behavior. There's a lot that goes on that we
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: don't know or one picture alone can't show.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: But if you're wondering what inspired this this discussion in parliament,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I believe it was that picture of the father and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: son duo searching through a bin for BCRS containers. So
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: let's see whether will it be actively enforced and yeah,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: this means I'm very sure maybe on TikTok or on
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Instagram reels, we might see people start calling out people
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: for doing just that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It's interesting social media culture sometimes. So yeah, again, if
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you get any more updates, I'll let you know about
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the whole BCRS movement here in Singapore, but can, if
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you can, rather, no pun intended, do recycle and get
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: your 10 cents back if there's one near you, of course.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: If not, just accumulate and maybe say plan a family
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: day activity to go find the machines and put it in.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Now as we count down to the Garmin Half marathon
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: here in Singapore, and maybe say even the GE run
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and very soon.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: The BYD Singapore International Marathon. Whatever distance you are doing,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I hope you're training well for it. If the haze
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: gets too bad here in Singapore, at least maybe you
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: run on the treadmill, run indoors, get your legs going.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You should be really approaching peak training period for you
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: if you're trying to go for that PB or at
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: least get your body used to running maybe 5, 1021,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: or 42 kilometers if you're doing the BYD full marathon.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: But when we come back, given how Singapore is now
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a very active society, what, close to 87.3% of us
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: are doing some sort of physical activity, this might trigger
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you if you're a runner, and this actually happened at
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the Berlin Marathon. What I'm still unsure of is whether
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: is this an actual person or an AI generated image,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: but loads of news outlets have reported on this one,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and I went
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Talking on Xiaohongshu, this profile actually exists with 500,000+ followers. Earlier,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I shared with you how there was a running influencer
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: in all sorts of hot water now involving the Berlin Marathon,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and this is why, honestly, when, when it comes to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the word influencers, people often get a negative taste in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: their mouths because bad behavior from them always goes viral. Like,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: for example, if I tell you,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Girl MJ here in Singapore has been recognized as the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Her World's 2026 Young Woman Achiever Award. Would you know?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You might not, but if I tell you, hey, there's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: a new cheating scandal on TikTok, you are gonna be
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: invested in that. Trust me, on Reddit right now, I'm
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: very sure everyone's breaking down that 100-page document that someone
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: put out on a brand new cheating scandal, and I'm
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: trying my best to understand everything, but wow.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I it's really complicated, but again, you see, when, when,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: when public personalities or social media has drama, you more
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: or less follow it. So when it comes to this
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Chinese influencer by the name of Air.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I, I'm guessing she's quite popular in China, especially on
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the app of Xiaohongshu with over 500,000+ followers. The Berlin
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Marathon happened over the past weekend, and it's a marathon
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I wish to do. So hopefully if this year at
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the BYD Singapore International Marathon, I break my own personal best.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Next year, I'll definitely try my best at some world
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: majors and hopefully I can bring 987 with me, broadcast
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: from wherever I'm running and do a video for you
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: What Abir did was she posted a picture of her
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: personal best timing, 4 hours and 53 minutes for a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: full marathon. Well done. It's never easy for a full marathon,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: sometimes just crossing the finish line, it's a win for
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you already. But then, a bit of a scandal happened.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: There was a picture.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Of Abir on board a bicycle at the 35 to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: 40 km mark. And then when the timing was checked
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: by the official marathon time integrity unit, an account that
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: investigates suspicious marathon performances, so you can imagine the amount
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: of influencers and people faking their timings, and then when
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: this account investigates the timing, they realize, hey, hello, don't bluff, OK?
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Um, there was a picture of her circulating on board
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a bicycle, and they realized that, uh, her 35 km
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to 40 km, 5 km split was 30 minutes and
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: 49 seconds. It's very fast as compared to her previous kilometers,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and people are wondering, eh, did she get a second wind?
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: How come she suddenly went very fast? Then they saw
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the picture and the Berlin.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Marathon, I think, have issued a statement and also Brooks China,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: who sponsored this athlete called Abeer, has terminated a sponsorship,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: saying that it will never ever work again, and a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: few days ago, she actually posted an apology. So, there
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you go. The incident now going viral on TikTok and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: people are calling out more running influencers for faking their.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Timings. It's very interesting. Loads of tea now. It's our
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: darling Sonia Chew, she's in for one heck of a day.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: She's doing all the prep now. I'm very sure she's
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: doing her hair and makeup because she's getting ready to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: host Charles Leclerc again over at the Puma store at
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: 313 Somerset, and according to her yesterday, she's given us
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a bit of a timing. Charles Leclerc might be there
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: from 12-ish, 1.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: p.m. so make sure you go on down early, get
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: a good spot, and hopefully you can catch a glimpse
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: of Charle Claire, and then she's zooming down to Vivo City,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the Puma store over there to host Lando Norris at
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: around 4 p.m. So whichever team you support, enjoy yourselves
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: as we all go Formula One sporting today. But also
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: inspired by what I shared earlier.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: About how rummaging through the dustbins here in Singapore for
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: cans or bottles to put in the BCRS machines, according
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to Minister Grace Food, it's against the law, and our
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: friends at NEA will enforce that again, just delivering to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you the message. Don't hate the messenger, but rummaging through
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the bins kinda brings back a bit of a painful
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and disgusting memory for me. Yes, let me share and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: digress for a bit. My mom.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Who's tuned in from Korea. Hello mom. Hope you're enjoying
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: your walk near Lote area. Um, she has this very
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: bad habit. She will sometimes panic, and I'll say, Mom,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: what happened? What happened? No, I think I threw my phone.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I think I threw the scissors in the dustbin.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And if it's the scissors, I'll be like, Ma, never mind,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I'll go to popular bookstore and buy a new one
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: for you. But when it comes to the phone, right,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and when I say dustbin, I, I don't mean like
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the house waste bin or what, no, it's, it's like
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the dustbin chute dustbin, and given how it's an old HDB,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: we have one in our house. Yeah, she might have
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: thrown it inside. So there were a couple of times
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: before find my iPhone became a thing, and by the way,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: my mom likes to keep her phone in silent mode
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: as well. So if you call it
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Uh, if it doesn't vibrate, chances are we, we can't
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: hear where it is.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I had to go down to the dustbin chute area.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Had to ask the workers for help. They opened the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: chute for me and I had to use gloves and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: rummage through the rubbish, searching for the phone, you know. Yeah,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and after what seemed to be the longest 2 minutes
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: of my life, I hear my mom screaming upstairs, Joy,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: never mind, I found it. It's in my room.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Yep,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, and this has happened more than once and thankfully, uh,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: she didn't actually throw the phone away or anything important.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: It was actually in her room or sometimes she might
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: forget where she placed it and she appears out of nowhere,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: but I'm very sure you might have a painful story,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: painful with open inverted commas to share.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: When it comes to rummaging, rummaging through the bins to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: find something you threw away by accident. It could be
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: a ring, it could be an important document, it could
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: be anything that's precious to you or something that you need.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: What is it? Sometimes you can hate yourself for going
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to go to the rubbish bin to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Rummage through it to find something you threw away by accident.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I want to say hello to Waylon on 987's WhatsApp.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: That's 90050987, and Waylon says, Hey, Joakim, my husband bought
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: McDonald's to get the special Pokemon card. Ah, yes, when
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: they had that special deal thing.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: My daughter threw away the bag holding the food after
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: she took out the food down to our rubbish tube.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: This is the only time she actually helped to throw
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the rubbish. Kind intentions, we love her actions, but not
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: this time. In the end, we didn't go to search
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: for the Pokemon cards as it was too late at night,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: and I replied saying, I hope there were no rare
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: cards in the pack, and Waylan replied to me saying
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: there could have been, oh no, just
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Imagine. I want to go to the phone lines right now, 669-0-11987. Sha,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: what is your story about rummaging through the dustbin to
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: find something you threw away by accident?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: So I had
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the habit to put my wallet all in a plastic bag.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Whatever bag I'm carrying, I was just like, OK, just
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: dump it in first. So when we were at our
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: friend's place, I totally forgot about his wallet inside a
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: plastic bag. Oh no.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, so what happened was, um, because nobody knows there's
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: a wallet inside the bag, so they literally actually throw
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: it in a bin.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: And that bin is, you know, those BTOs, which is
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: centralized,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the common, the common bin, OK, yes,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: yeah, yes, the common bin. So, um, the host actually
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: wanted to throw all the rubbish, so they throw away
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the whole bunch of rubbish together with his wallet and
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: in a plastic bag. So when we were going back,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: he was actually looking for his wallet. No, we were
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: when we were home, he was looking for wallet.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: So we thought that, OK, maybe it's our friend's place.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: So we called our friends. They said, no, there isn't any.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Then he was asking me, where is the wallet? I
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: remember the last I put inside a plastic bag. So
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: we asked for that plastic bag and sadly my friend said, oh,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: actually I threw away that plastic bag. So he literally
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: had to search that bin. He had to call the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: town council guy to help to, yeah, to help to
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: open the bin. So it took him, how many hours?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: About 2 hours.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: To dig that whole rubbish bin and finally he managed
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: to find his wallet. Oh,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: thank goodness, but I'm very sure the wallet doesn't smell
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the same anymore lah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Oh no, it was in the.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: OK, there isn't smell. There isn't.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, fair enough. Thank you so much for your call,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Shah and Fa. You take care, OK? On the topic
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: of having to rummage through a dustbin to find something
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you threw away by accident, yes, giving a different branch
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: to how rummaging through the dustbins for the bees.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: VCRS uh cans and bottles. It's against the law, and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: our friends over at NEA will enforce it. But yeah,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: trying to find a fun spin to it. It brought
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: back memories of myself having to rummage through the bin
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: to find my mother's phone. And after what seemed to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: be the longest 2 to 3 minutes of my life,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: my mom shouts from upstairs, Joakim, it's OK. I found it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: It's in my room.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, mom, mom. I want to say good morning to Aaliyah.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Aaliyah says, hey, Joakim, this reminds me of my dad.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: He accidentally threw his pager together with the rubbish while
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: we had dinner the night before and the rubbish was
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: thrown in the rubbish chute. By the way, for those
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of you who might not know what a pager is,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: a pager is something where in the late 80s, 90s,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: before handphones really became a thing, it's a device where
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: you call the number.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And if I'm anywhere here in Singapore, I get the signal,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you will hear a loud.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: And I'll look at my pocket, I'll press the button
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and I see, oh, this number is trying to call me,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: so I'll find the nearest public phone and I'll call
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: it back. That's a pager for you.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: So he realized that he, when he, when he wanted
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: to go to work the next day, his pager was missing.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: He went to the rubbish chute downstairs and tried to
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: open it, and when the workers saw him, they helped him.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: It was very hard because of the pager, so we
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: had to keep sending messages for the pager to keep
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: on beeping. What a memory. Thank you so much for sharing, Aliyah.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And one more coming in from Wei Xian. Wei Xian says,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Morning, Joe. I've been a quiet listener for quite some time.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Not my own story, but this happened to my sister-in-law.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: A friend of hers left a degree certificate at the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: corner of the floor in her room with some random
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: stuff also on the floor when she visited. The friend
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: forgot to bring it home. One day, father-in-law was cleaning
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the house and went into sister-in-law's room to help her
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: clear her room.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: bin and packed the floor. He thought the stuff on
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the floor were unwanted. He picked up and threw everything
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: into the tube.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: At night, my sister-in-law went to look for the cert
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: to return to her friend. Nothing can be found. I,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: she asked her dad and he said, Oh, everything went
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: into the bin earlier this morning. She was speechless. I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: think they tried to ask the, the block cleaners, but
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: nothing can be found. In the end, I think my
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: sister-in-law apologized to a friend, and they had to ask
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the school for a reprint. Thank you so much for
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: sharing your story, Wei Xian. Wanna say good morning to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Jossy on WhatsApp. Jossy says, hey, Joakim,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Years ago, my seventeen-year-old cousin was at Nyan City with
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: her boyfriend when they had a very bad fight. She
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: was so angry and upset that she took off the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: ring which he had bought her and threw it into
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: one of the bins which used to be located around
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the basement events hall area. Those bins had a lot
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: of food wrappers and cups in the B2.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Called unfinished food and drink. The couple made up a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: bit later and they had to search through the dirty,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: sticky bin in public to try and find the ring
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: my cousin threw inside. They were 17 and the ring
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: was expensive and precious. They never found the ring after
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: all the embarrassment and mess. They broke up a few
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: years later. Maybe it was a sign. Yeah, there you go.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I mean,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: When you're angry, right, at 17, what do we know better? Yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: just express your anger in the best way you know how.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Going to the phone lines though, 669-119-87. Magdalene, what's your
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: story? Alright, so me and my husband, we were moving
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: house and then we ran out of boxes. So we
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: started to pack our things.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Those black garbage bags, right? And you know, assumingly we
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: will straight away just unpack stuff from the black garbage bag,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: because it's just like a 15 minutes um drive from,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: you know, our old place to the new one. And
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: then so I just asked my husband, oh, have you
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: unpacked everything? He said, yeah, I unpacked and I cleared
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: all the trash bags. So I was like, oh great.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: So then the next morning, so that was late at night,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: and then the next morning I opened my, my shoe
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: cabinet to, you know, look at my shoes. And then
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: I realized, where are all my shoes? And that's like
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: 8 pairs that I, yeah, I remember because I collected
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: like 1 luxury pair for every milestone in my life. Nice.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: And then I realized he said, oh, I threw all
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: the trash bags down the bin, and I was like,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: didn't you check what?
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was like, did you check what's in there?
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: He said, Oh, I thought it was just boxes. I
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: was like it's box shoes in those boxes.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: And then, um, I was, I was, I ran down.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I asked the, the rubbish guys. I said like, you know,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: because we live in a condo, so I said, OK, where,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: where's the, where's the chute? And then he was like,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: oh dear. And then the, the security uncles also followed
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: me into the trash chute because I was grieving, I
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: was crying, I was panicking. And then they brought me
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: to the huge, you know, the huge compartment whereby they
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: had to like crush all
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: of the.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, correct. But then when, and I literally climbed in,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: the uncle was like, you sure you wanna do it,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: we can do it. I said, no, I have to
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: It was really like gross, but, but I was desperate
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: for those shoes then. Yeah, um, because you can't buy
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: them anymore, right? And then I found the shoes, but
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: they were all crushed. It was, yeah, like my experience, yeah.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: So
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: how long was the silent treatment for then with your husband?
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's sadly there wasn't silent treatment. It was noise
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: every day like my shoes, my shoes. Every time we
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: walk past like the, the, you know, those branded shops,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: my shoes.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Oh no. Did he make up for, did he, did
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: he buy you shoes then to make up for it? Yeah,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: yeah, he make up for, for bags and shoes. So I,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I guess he has a lifetime to prove it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm almost reminded of I show Speed and the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Kudasai personality and maybe even Mickey Rae as well. You know, when, when,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: when TikTok famous people come to Singapore and for Speed,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I guess now worldwide, and they announce like, hey, can
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I have a fair me and all that somewhere, um,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: chances are the police will show up, OK? And not
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: because they are killjoys or whatsoever, no. We have rules
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: in Singapore that need to be followed, lah. I mean,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: if you tell me hundreds of people gathered.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: At one spot. Of course, if I'm a police officer,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I wanna go and investigate and see what's happening here.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Is there a permit for this much people to be here?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: If not, can you all please disperse and to the Creator,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: if you want to, you know, host a fan meet,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: maybe go through the proper channels so that there could be.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Um, there could be something in place to make sure
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: everyone is safe and you're not obstructing any areas or
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: causing a disturbance to the peace here in Singapore. So that, that,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: that's the rule that we have. So I believe an
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I show Speed was here in Singapore. Yeah, there was
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: a couple of issues with his very first visit. The
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: next visit went well, and I think he ended with
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: a very nice bungee jump and there was uh fireworks
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and all that over at Sentosa.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Um, and then I wanna draw your attention to this
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: guy whose videos have appeared on my FYP, and I
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: always tell my basketball friends, wow, this guy is really
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: rage bait number one in the way he plays, but
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: he's able to play his game. He talks his game
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: a whole lot, but he plays really well as well.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Want to say hello to Matt Kiapis. He's here in Singapore.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: 3.5 million followers on Instagram.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Loads more on TikTok as well. And he actually announced that, hey,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: my 1v1 event is happening over at Chinatown. And yesterday
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: when it took place, there were loads of people there. Yes,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: your Gen Z's, your Gen alphas, people who are fans
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: of basketball and the kind of content that he puts out.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: They were there at the court, and the police showed up,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and they had to really disperse people. And Matt was
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: actually interviewed by a news outlet. I, I forgot whether
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: was it CNA or whether was it Mothership.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, but I saw a different side
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: to Matt. I, I was expecting his persona to be
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: on camera and all that, but actually, he was very
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: gracious about it. He praised the police for doing so, uh, for,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: for dispersing the crowd in a very respectful manner, and
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: he hopes to organize it proper. So hopefully, someone has
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: guided Matt to organize a good permit, to have a
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: good permit, and to have that 1 v1 situation here
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: in Singapore because I think in Singapore, we have loads.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: of ballers that don't mind going up against him and
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: put their skills to the test. So I really hope
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: it happens. Matt, if you're still in town, hopefully, us
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: here at 987 can get you on board our radio
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: show for a very quick chat. And OK, again, what
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: a year it's been for Singapore films. I want to
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: say congratulations to the likes of We Are All Strangers,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the violinist Aal Bua, and she said, all getting nominations
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: for the Golden Horse Awards. Congratulations.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: And for We Are All Strangers, if I'm not wrong,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: it's being submitted for the Academy Awards for International Feature Films.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: So all the best to you guys. But yesterday, I mean,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: if you follow people like Benjamin King, Nathan Hartono, O Shuan,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Estel Fly, Fauzi, all on social media, you'd have seen
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: that they were at the premiere of their brand new
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: movie called The Sandbox. And let me read the synopsis
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: to you, OK? When an online rumor starts that Marvel
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: is looking to cast its next big superhero out of Singapore. Sandbox,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: a struggling stunt training school, is suddenly inundated with hopeless wannabes,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: hoping to become movie stars. With only a week to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: make them look good, can the Sandbox team turn these
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: zombies into heroes and maybe even save themselves in the process. Interesting.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: It's about 1 hour and 53 minutes long and the
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: reviews are in, people are saying Singapore-style.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Comedy is back. Not too much of slapstick, so it's
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: nice to see people like Oon Shuan, for example, Andrew Marko,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: John Cancio, people who I've seen on the theater stage
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: and are amazing actors gracing the movie with their appearances.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: And of course, needless to say, the likes of Benjamin King,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Nathan Hartono, Fauzi, Xuan Ong, Estelle Fly, and Peps Goh
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: of Sandbox is in the film. So if you can,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: it's out in cinemas officially, I believe, tomorrow.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: And with some previews happening today as well, so please
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: go support another locally made film. And look, I know
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: it's been very F1 heavy the last few days. It's
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: only gonna get better, better when I say if you're
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: a Formula One fan, more news, more driver sightings coming
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: your way. And again today, if you're tuned in, you
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: might want to either avoid these areas if you're not
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: a fan or especially if you're driving as well, or
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Or if you are a fan and you want to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: take public transport and go on down to some of
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: these places, again, I'm gonna give you more details. For
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Sonny Chew, she's not on the show today because she's
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: busy prepping for one very busy day with two heavyweights
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: of the Formula One game as we speak right now.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: So from 12-ish to 1 p.m. Charles Leclerc is slated
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: to make an appearance over at the Puma store at
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: 313 Somerset, and then,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: At 4 p.m. over at the Puma store at Vivo City,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Lando Norris will be there. So if you want to
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: track Sonia's movements, I believe yesterday she shared that she'll
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: be going live on Puma Singapore's Instagram or maybe even
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: TikTok as well. So stay very close to that. If
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you're fans of Audi, Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto will
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: be at Funan at 7:30 p.m.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: p.m. And of course, if you want to check out
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: our friends over at the VCAP team for racing bulls,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: we got the likes of Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblatt,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: who will be making an appearance over at Ion Orchard
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: at perhaps maybe say 6:20 to 6:30 p.m. and then
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: they're gonna zoom down to Resorts World Sentosa for the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Festival of Thrills event. They'll be on stage. I'll be
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: hosting that one.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: And again, there'll be a Q&A along with their team principal,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Allan Permain. So please come on down and make sure
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: you look out for each other. Hydrate, dress according to
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the weather, and don't push and squeeze each other. I
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: know everybody wants a selfie with your favorite driver, but
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: please do so in orderly fashion. And look, it's full-time
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: between Argentina and Benin.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: And why am I focusing on this game? It's Lionel
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Messi's final game for Argentina. He gives two assists to
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Nicholas Otamendi and Nico Paz, and at the 71st minute,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: what does Lionel Messi do? He scores a goal, a penalty.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Final score, Argentina 3, Benin 0. And thank you very much,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Lionel Messi for lighting up the international stage with his talent.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I believe he's still playing domestic football for the MLS,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the Miami Football Club. Oh my goodness, I got the name.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: OK, I can't do this to little messy. Enter Miami.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: There you go. Thank you very much. The jersey in pink.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: But anyway, we're gonna close the show with some enema
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: for you who will be in Singapore this Saturday. I'm
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: looking forward to being at marquee to really enjoy a
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: night of his music and also, I wonder how he
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: will use the marquee screen for his amazing graphics. That's it. Tomorrow,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Sonia's turn to go solo with you as I'm on
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: leave to prepare for one heck of a day.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: as well. And then on Friday for day one of
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the Grand Prix action here in Singapore, Sonia and I
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: back together to hype you up and over the weekend,
