  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Good morning. Thank you

  Speaker 1: for joining us here today, and we do have a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: very special guest joining us later after 9 a.m. She's

  Speaker 1: days away to Singapore against Indonesia at the Jalan Besar Stadium,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and of course, on Sunday, it's National Day itself. Wherever
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you're going to be enjoying the parade from. I hope
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you have fun with your friends and family. But that said,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: here's a belated thank you to our friends over at
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Sembawang Central. I was with you guys.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: On Sunday for your National Day Carnival, which was in
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: conjunction with the Passion Arts Festival for you over at
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the Sembawang Hardcourt area next to Sun Plaza. Had loads
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: of fun with Irong from Yunan, and earlier that morning
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: was hosting for Adidas Singapore with the all-new Singapore Home
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and Away Kit launch, proudly brought to you in.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: In conjunction with Adidas as well as the Football Association
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of Singapore, and then the day before as well, hosting
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: preview to over at National Day. So I thought to myself, OK,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you know what? Since I have nothing on on Monday,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: just take a day break to rest my mind, my body,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and my throat, especially. Big weekend coming up. And I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: was thinking, OK, let's just sleep into whatever time I
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: wake up at about maybe say 8:50 a.m. on a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: random Monday morning and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Drilling outside my house, they were doing the renovations for
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: our stairs, the flights of stairs going up 12 stories
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of my block, so there you go. Had to deal
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: with it, but given how maybe I feel as if
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I have patience at a whole new level, I felt
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: like that meme saying this is fine, but the house
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is on fire, the dog having coffee, right? But yeah,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: that was my day yesterday. So, in terms of rest,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I got a few minutes in.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Not as much as I want to, but it's OK.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: You know what, we carry on. today being Tuesday. Sonia's
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: coming back from a coffee break in just a while
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: here on the shock circuit. More things to be won
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: here on our show, and I just wanna give you
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a heads up. If you haven't seen our Instagram post
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: yet for NDP actual day tickets, today is your final
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: day to get your comments in. 4th of August, a Tuesday,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and um, I finally have my coffee. I'm a human
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: being now.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say for more schools, it's gonna
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: feel like a 4 day work week. Uh, yeah, it's a,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: it's a short week, right, because I'm assuming on Friday.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe on Friday because they're having all the National Day celebrations.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Then next Monday, it's off in lie. It's a public
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: holiday in Liu, so we get to enjoy a long weekend.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I'm actually going to Batam for a day on Monday,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: on Monday because there was a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Uh, a paddle court that just opened there, like a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: facility that just a wellness facility that just opened there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: So they have more than just a paddle court. So
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing they have plunges, they have like recovery, they
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: have like a whole like lunch buffet thing and all that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So I'm like kind of excited to go. So are
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you taking the ferry or are you taking the propeller plane? Ferry, ferry.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: What propeller plane? They got this new seaplane, right, that
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: goes to half the time we didn't.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: into that. I mean, I didn't even hear about it,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to be honest. I mean, I might have seen it
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: in the news once, but I don't know whether how
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: many propeller planes seaplanes they have. Ah, OK, I just, uh,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Googled Batam seaplane. Apparently it's called Airfish. Oh, OK, I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: didn't hear about this by ST Engineering. To be honest,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who booked the, the ferry tickets.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm, I'm just a baby. I'm just gonna
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: show up.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just know that there's a plan.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Could be a sampan for you. Everyone else take the ferry.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They make me do the sampan. It's a good workout,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you know, make a good video. OK, so given how
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: we are 5 days away to National Day Parade and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: National Day here in Singapore, uh, we have Prime Minister
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Lawrence Wong's National Day message. OK, not rally. Yeah, yeah,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: rally is usually after, right? Yeah, yeah, so message is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a bit of a tease.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to what we can expect to what he might say
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: over National Day rally. It will be happening 8th of
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: August 6:45 p.m. It will air on CNN and CNA 938. OK,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: so usually this is much shorter. It's just a quick address, right? Yeah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong, delivering the address in Bahasa Malayu
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: will be acting Minister in charge of Muslim Affairs and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Senior Minister of State for Defense, Mr. Zaki Mohammad, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I think for
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Mandarin, it's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry, Mr.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Gan Kim Yong, and for Tamil, it's Minister of State
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: for Culture, Community and Youth and Manpower, Mr. Dinesh Vasudas. OK,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a weekend full of activities, full
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of things to look forward to, yeah, but I think
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: there's always going to be a portion of Singaporeans who
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: will fly out over this weekend. Oh yes, 100%. It's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: going to be a very busy weekend for our friends
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: over in Bangkok in um.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Where else? Bali, I mean, it's the usual Bangkok, Bali, Batam,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Phuket Bintan, Johor Bahru. So to our friends over at ICA,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: we're sending you all the love. Yeah, thank you for
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: working during the long weekend. They have put out advisories
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: saying please expect longer traveling times for sure, as you should,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: so don't lose patience. Just join the queue.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And do it in an orderly fashion. And I guess
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: just find the right time to leave like as early
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: as possible, you know. OK, so on that note, we're
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: going to open up phone lines in just a bit.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: We would love to take your dedication to your song requests.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Now hello. Hi. Hi, what's your name? Hi, Yowei, which
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: school are you from? Kuo Chen Primary. OK, before you
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: give a shout out, may I know what
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: song you like to hear? Uh, Road Ahead. Of course,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it has to be Road Ahead by Lin Ying and Coh,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: but what is Swao Cheng Primary School doing for the, um,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: NDP celebrations? Um, they brought us to the show. OK.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And any half days for you? Any, uh, dressing up
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: or celebrations on Friday? Uh, yes, you're right. OK, I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: can't wait to see the pictures. In the meantime, you
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: enjoy the track and have a.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Great day at school. OK, proving to be a very
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: eventful Tuesday morning here on our show with open inverted
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: commas or eventful. Open inverted commas for sure, right? And
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: now this one I'm just speculating and, you know, adding
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: all to the fire, right? What's going to happen to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the satay? Oh man on board Singapore business class or
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Singapore Airlines. OK, I don't know about you, and I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: don't know if I speak for most Singaporeans, but
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I felt quite defensive when I saw that when I
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: saw that article. Uh, Singapore Airlines, we love you. Please
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: don't cancel it, to be honest, the satay is very good. OK,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: so let's give you the breakdown of why we're talking
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: about the Singapore Airlines satay. So apparently a 44-year old
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: woman by the name of Briony Smith, OK, and she
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: was a child pop star in the past. Apparently she's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: gone platinum in Thailand. OK, well done. So this happened
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to her in 2024 and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. Given what we do
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: for a living, where our voice is the moneymaker, right? Yeah,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I'm a little bit on the fence about this one,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: but the one very important question people are asking is
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: how did you swallow a 3.8 centimeter wooden splinter? So
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: she was having the satay on board Singapore business class
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and all that, and again, it's not like
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: A 6 cm or 7 cm stick where you're able
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to feel it, but 3.8 centimeters where it's slightly short,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: but still if you were to chew, you can feel
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: something is there but I think she swallowed it and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: apparently it caused the pain, choking. There was violent coughing.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: She was able to cough it out and get it out,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but her ENT also.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: scarring which is um in relation to something that got
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: stuck in the throat. So ever since then, she found
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: she had pain, raspiness and discomfort when it's speaking or singing.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: So given how she's a yoga teacher and she uses
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: her voice a lot now, I mean, there's a bit
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of a problem there if it's really causing her a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: lot of distress.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: But again, the question and what people in the comment
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: section are saying is how do you swallow a 3.8
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: centimeter wooden splinter? Yeah, I think they were in good
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: or I don't know. I'm sure is gonna look into it, right?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Like if not, why would she be so brave to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: come out here and talk about it like that? What
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: do you think?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It can't be so one-dimensional, right? I think they will
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: definitely go and investigate the best of your ability. What
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is a good and what is bad? Like a, a,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: a stick, for example, that isn't fragile or has splinters, maybe, maybe.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: But so far, I mean, OK, I'm just trying to
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: see both sides here because I've been a big fan
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: of the satay appetizer for a very long time.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I've never once come across a satistic with splinters, at
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: least in my experience, OK, not, not to, not to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: defend our nation's airline or what lah, OK. So I'm
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: trying to find whether there have been other cases of
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: people choking on the satay stick. So I googled Singapore
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Airlines satay incidents. All that's appearing now is this lady,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is this lady. Yeah, so I mean, like I said,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to see both sides.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Here, maybe her statistic was, you know, something wrong with
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: it or it was faulty or what, like, you know,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: it had splinters. But then again, I think most people
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in the comment section are saying like how on earth
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: did you let that happen to yourself? I think that
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: is the sentiment. So I hope we get answers really soon,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: but Singapore Airlines can't comment as of yet because this
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: case is under investigation. Yes, yes, but for what it's worth,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: it's pretty delicious. And if this is the only.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Incident we had involving the satay. Please don't cancel it. No, no,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: please don't take it away. Don't take it away. It's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: like my favorite. And I think, um, based on experience
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: when I've actually sat around people who are like flying
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: back to Singapore and they've never maybe tried this satay before,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: like I've actually heard people commenting like, wow, this is good,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you know, because they've never tried satay before. So I
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: think for Sonia and I we're holding off all the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: roasts and all that until we get more details and the,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: the conclusion.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: To this sadistic fiasco. I wasn't roast. I'm I'm section.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I gotta say some Singaporeans have a very strong sense
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of wit and humor. Yeah, only in the comment section. Now,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I might have categorized this under food news, but it's
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: also um a place that I've hung out at more
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: than 5 times, more than 5 times, OK. So it's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: not just food news, it's almost sentimental in a way.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Because I've been there a number of times to get
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: ready for a gig and um to wait around with friends,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and we've had some deep talks there as well.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Which Starbucks is this? No, you're getting close. It isn't
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a Starbucks, but it's a cafe with coffee and, you know,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: other options. I think they've got like other types of
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: drinks also. I can't remember if I had wine there before.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I think I did. Yeah, I think I did. Um,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: this is not a place that we've been to together before,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: but it is quite a central area and unfortunately, they're
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: closing after 5 years. I'm gonna tell you.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Which cafe this is in a few minutes. You can
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: try and take a guess. I don't think you'll get there,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: but you can try. You said cafe and then they
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: serve wine as well. So is it a day and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: night thing? They, I don't, they don't open that late,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure I was drinking. Yeah. I mean,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it was a weekend and you know, we had coffee
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and wine, so I'm the worst person for outdoors, so
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. OK, I'll tell you which cafe is
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: closing after 5 years. Like I said earlier.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: This particular place that um I don't think Joakim and
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I have been there together before, but I've had many
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: fond memories at this cafe, mainly because I had a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: friend that used to work there, or I have a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: friend that used to work there a long time ago,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and he would actually, you know, even after he stopped
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: working there, he invited us to go over and like
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: he would get like a bit of a staff discount
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: or some treats and stuff and the food and the drinks, coffee,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong, they had oysters and pasta and wine.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: It was actually really good.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Taking you to Chimes right now, this place called Dough Cafe.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever seen it or if
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you go to Chimes often.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: But dough is the one that is a very Scandinavian look,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: like very minimalistic. It's brown and earth tones, and then
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: inside it's like cream and white and light brown. I'm
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: just chuckling because the last time I was at Chimes
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: was a few weeks ago. I was going to a cafe? Yeah,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you went to watch football. England against Argentina, yeah. So unfortunately,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: after 5 years, and I think they've got a lot
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: of regular customers there.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Dough Cafe at Chimes is officially closing. Their last day
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: is on the 16th of August. So if you have
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: any like great memories there and if you go there often,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: please go pay them a visit before they close. It's
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: quite sad because I thought that they were one of
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the main cafes of Chimes. Like people, when you search
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: up cafes around the area, do will show up for sure.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: So you said they were operating for at least 5 years,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: 5 years.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: They, prior to this, I think they actually competed in
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the Singapore National Barista and Brewers Cup championships, and their
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: barista actually emerged as the champion in 2026. Wait, COVID. Yeah, 2021, 2021. Yeah. So, hey, um,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have expressed collective disappointment because,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: because we love dough.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: And if there's any hope at all, I think they
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: will return. I think they will find a way to return. Yeah, goodbye.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: It seems a bit, I would say it, it seems
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a bit open-ended. I hope, I hope. I mean, it's
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: not like we're closing goodbye, shut down forever.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think any business ever says that in case
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you want to open up again next time. They're gonna
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: keep you guessing. And if they manage to retain the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: champ in the barista championships, you know, I'm sure no
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: problems at all to open a cafe again. This could
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: be a lady you say goodbye, but they're opening over
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: at the Lao Pasar area. I'm not wrong.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: You, you never know. So, all the best dough. I
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: really hope to see you again soon. One of my
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: favorite places in the Chimes area. All the best dough dough,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: but it was meant to, pun intended. Sonny and Joeim
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: here with you. Coming up right after 8, we're going
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: to open up the phone lines. This time around, you
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: do not want to miss this prize, OK? So we
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: just started this yesterday when you were on MC. Um,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: our friends over at Dyson, they're actually giving you a fan.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's awesome. I have 2 already currently. Oh, it's,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: it's the one we have. Yes. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, um,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: they have a new Singapore exclusive Hush jet mini Cool
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: fan in a beautiful Carnelian sky colorway. So it's kind
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: of like full red with um details in sky and
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: it weighs only 20.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: 12 g pocket sized and with the heat and the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: humidity nowadays, you need it, you need it. It's worth
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: almost $150. Perfect for National Day. If you're coming to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the stadium for the show, you can carry it with
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: you as you wait to go in the stadium. I mean,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: provided you, you know, win it today and collect it
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: in time.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, can I say I use it over the weekend.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: It is powerful. It is. It cooled me and it
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: kind of helped me evaporate some drops of perspiration that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I have as well. It's drops, dude, for you it's
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: like a river. I mean, you are not I've been there.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I've seen it. Thank you. Yeah I accidentally touched your
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: shirt before, so it's like.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I've never, I've never found myself running away so fast.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: And whenever Sonia accidentally touches my shirt drenched with perspiration, right,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I always hear the loudest.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Scree. No, it's facts though, OK, but hey, this could
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: help you beat the heat a little bit, right? And
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: because both of us are such fans, what was your
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: initial color, ha ha, pun intended, what was the initial
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: color that you had, because this is your second one, right? Yeah,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: so the initial color was the, the lighter.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Slightly beige, OK, they call it stone blush. Oh, right,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you picked the blush one, same as me. What? You,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: you chose that color. Honestly, I think that was the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: only one available because this was going off the shelves
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: like hotcakes. Yeah, it's true. Like the moment they launched it, um,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: it got sold out really fast. Yeah, so I tried
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: going for the ink and cobalt one. Yeah, sold out. Oh,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: no wonder I never see you carry the pink one.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Now you can carry the Carnelian red one. Yeah, it
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: looks better for you. OK, but regardless.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Whether or not it's for National Day or for anything
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: at all. It could be your next picnic, it could
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: be even in your office or while you're walking around
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: for lunch or getting a coffee. You need this for sure.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Worth about $150. Visit their Instagram page, Dyson_SG. Your chance
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to win in just a bit. Forgive my language here, Sonia,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: but I guess maybe for this situation, I, I want
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to ask people here on 987, even you as well,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: am I the a-hole here? OK, tell us. OK, are
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you ready?
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: So we, we know that in Singapore we have this
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: whole crow and pigeon problem, right? Where it's overpopulated, they
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: are ransacking our hawkers, they're flying here and there, sometimes
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: some are even
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I don't want to use the word attack humans, but
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: because we are quite close to their nests and all that,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: they might defend the nest or think that we are
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: a threat to the nest and they are young and
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: their offspring. But the thing is our industries here in
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Singapore have been doing their best to stop people from
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: feeding the birds. Yeah, yeah, there's a problem out there,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and somehow, and again not pointing fingers at anyone, la,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I feel people in the Merdeka or pioneer generation.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Because they're so used to doing it already as a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: way to combat loneliness or they want to have good karma, they,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: they feel that be kind to animals or be kind
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to birds situation, they will still do it and because
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: of that, it's causing like lots of other problems for
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: other residents around the area. So over at the Bishan area, OK,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and this happens every morning.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: When I wake up at 4:45 a.m., the crows are
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: calling already. They, they are like all the time or
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: is it a.m. So, um, because I think it's like seasonal,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you know. No, it seems to happen every day. The
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: block in front of me and if you live around
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the Bishan Ridges area, the new BTO that just launched,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you know the trees in front of you. You can
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: hear them. They're loud and proud, I guess, I dare say.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: But I seem to realize every morning when I take
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the taxi or the Grab to work and I pass
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: by Bishan CC, right, there's this little walkway where I
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: believe it was dark previously. There will be this one
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: uncle and I'll see him throwing rice from a bag
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: at 5 in the morning to feed the crows, and
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: the crows know, so they are flying there all the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: time and you know they're so intelligent, right.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I think by now they know that, OK, this is,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: they've identified this is breakfast time, yeah, and they are
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: gathering there for their breakfast, so to say. So there
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: was one morning, and this happened, I think 2 or
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: 3 weeks ago. I was fed up, you know, I
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: just wound the window down as my car was moving.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I shouted, Oi, don't feed the birds la. The uncle
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: heard my voice and ran away. Oh, is it? Yeah,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and I don't know why from that day on, right,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: maybe someone caught my voice on CCTV or what.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: You didn't report it. You didn't. I, I texted like
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the Bishan CC number or whatsoever, and they said, OK,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: we will investigate. They will check the CCTV. Maybe they
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: found something because from then on, right, that place isn't
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: so dark anymore. The lights are turned on. Yes, so
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: it could be a deterrent for the uncle, but who,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: who's to say he's not in other areas here in
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Singapore leeing the birds? But here's the thing like I,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I feel.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: So much empathy, like sympathy for them because this could
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: be their purpose, you know, of the day, and I'm
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: not saying that it's your fault, it's not, because the,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the feeding bird thing causes other problems. These birds, you know,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: poop everywhere, they, they populate more, it's, it's problematic. So
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: here's the thing, I know for a fact that if
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I was to have done this on TikTok where I
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: post a video of my opinions, right?
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: There'll be half the comments saying, oh yeah, joking, what
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: you did is right, you know, at least you let
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: them know. On the other end, people would say, Hey,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: mind your own business, lah. Let people live, you know
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: what I mean? No, no, it's, it's true. It's happening
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: on social media. So was I the a hole here
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: for like telling the Bishan CC people, hey, you know,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: there's something happening here, please go and check. I don't
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: think that you were, I think you did the right
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: thing because you're kind of looking out for, you know, the,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood, right? But in a way.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I just, I, I also understand the feeling of loneliness
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: from the elderly point of view. Yes, I cannot, I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: cannot believe this. I feel bad. I say that the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: uncle is so nice, you know, I feel so bad.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually feel bad because the uncle, you never know. I, I,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I'm buying into your statements that he could be combating
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: loneliness and all that. I, I do feel that in
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Singapore we've developed an unfortunate because of certain
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Some citizen journalism websites, right? We've developed a culture of
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: just secretly taking a video or a picture and then
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: submitting it, you know, with their faces and all that.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: People do that, OK. At least you didn't. You tried
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to tell him first, like, hey, stop feeding the birds.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: You tried to tell him, then you just did it
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: via the right channels instead of just naming and shaming
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: him on social media or sending it into citizens.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Citizen journalism, which I actually don't like that habit of
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: some netizens and Singaporeans here, because, you know, if you
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: see something that's going down that you feel is wrong,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I feel like the first course of action is to
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: tell the person first, like, hey, I don't think you
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: should be doing this. Then if that person is defensive
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: or violent or reactive, then you take the next step
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: and report. Don't just take the photo silently and sneakily.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Upload onto citizen journalism to get $50 you know what
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, you do, I do. Yeah, yeah, do
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: it for 669-11987 or you can WhatsApp us at 90050987. Again,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: if you do like your answer, we're gonna cool you
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: off from the heat and humidity here in Singapore with
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: your new Dyson hush jet fan.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: And what what's the official color again? Carnelian sky. Carnelian sky.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: So it's, it's a Singapore exclusive, and I have a
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: feeling that it's going to be very difficult to get.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: So I've seen it in person already. It's like a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: deep Carnelian red with, you know, hints of sky, I guess.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: It's very pretty. It's very pretty, but just in time
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: for our nation's birthday. You know, I'm trying to think
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: of a very good question here. Help me out. Should
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I do this pertaining to me or?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Should I ask whether would you do the same like it,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I guess the question is, um, um, will you report
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: something if you see that something's amiss out there or
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: something is off or you see a crime or something
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: being committed? Will you report it or will you kind
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: of just take a photo and leave and then just
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: upload it onto onto citizen journalism sites? Or have you
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: encountered something similar? Let us know again 669-11987.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Or 90050987 to WhatsApp us. Yeah, I also think that
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: for us Singaporeans and Asians, a lot of us were
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: brought up with a mind your own business kind of mentality.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: So I would safe to say before we even get
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: any response, I think 50% of people might just walk
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: away from it. They may not even do anything. We
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: acknowledge it. Yeah. A burning question for you here today.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: If you were to witness or see something amiss or
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: something wrong out there in public, would you?
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: confront the person, would you report it, or would you
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: kind of just walk away and mind your own business?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I think for me it was feeding the birds to
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the point where when I saw the uncle doing it,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I just shouted, Uncle, stop feeding the birds, and he
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: ran away. So I texted the Bishan CC number and saying, Hey,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I want to check this area out. And ever since
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: then I haven't seen the uncle again, but now I
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: feel bad. I cannot believe I'm feeling like you. I know,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I know, because I would feel bad too, because I
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: wonder whether that's his like main purpose of the.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, but hopefully he finds another purpose.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: So I got a text coming in from Mel over
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: at 90050987. Hey Joakim, I don't think that was an
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: a-hole move. I guess this is where the gaps of
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: us as a society need to step up to play
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: our part. If uncle is combating loneliness, then it's up
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: to us as a society to ensure our seniors find
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: joy in their lives, and feeding crows is probably not
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the joy the rest of us envision because it's detrimental
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to others. In an ideal.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe the Bishan CC or senior care services in
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the area could have reached out to the uncle and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: asked how they can help. So it's not on you.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: And separately to Sonia, thank you for your collab with
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the Saint Andrew's Autism Center. Oh, well done. Thank you.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Thank you for that. I appreciate you. Yeah, I appreciate
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: that comment, but I, I completely agree with this, um, statement,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: because at, at the end of the day, right, like
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: for our seniors who may not have families or kids
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Um, it is a growing issue as well. It's a
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: big issue that I think we've been trying to tackle
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: as a community, but are we doing enough? I don't know. Really,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: my heart goes out to them, witnessing some of these seniors. OK,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: we got one from Pedro. Pedro says, Hey, Sonia. I
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: agree with Sonia it's important to approach the person first
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: to let him know that his action is wrong rather
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: than secretly to get $50. Thank you. Especially if we're
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: staying in the same neighborhood.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: But look out and care for each other. Everyone is
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: learning and we make mistakes. Don't be so quick to
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: judge or penalize someone for his or her actions. A
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: wrong reporting move can easily be triggered into something like
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: web bullying and embarrassment to the person and family to
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: which we have seen plenty of this month or last
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: month in the month of July, so be careful.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's a, there are a lot of
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: people out there who just cannot wait to get a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: video or picture of something and, you know, send it in, right?
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I once said this, sorry to interrupt you, before we
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: go for a quick break. When I just moved in
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: to my condo, right, years ago, this was kind of
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: just after COVID was, you know, coming down, right, or
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: around about the time that it was calming down a
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Um, there was this one guy, and the thing was
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: at that time, not the, the full population, they haven't
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: quite moved in just yet to the, to the property. OK.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: This one bro, he's a dad, and I know he
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: has a teenage daughter, but his favorite pastime is taking
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: pictures of random, um, residents doing things that maybe he
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: thinks are wrong and clean the cleaners who are like
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: cleaning up the pool tables and all that, and reporting
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: them to the management.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: And you know what his reports are like? Never cleaned properly.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: The cleaner never cleaned the, the pool table, the pool,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the poolside table properly. And to the point where I
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: witnessed it once before, OK, I witnessed, I came from
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the gym, right? I witnessed him videoing this poor lady,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: this cleaner who was wiping up the, the table, and he,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: he just stood there filming, you know, and then after
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: a while, like the lady looked uncomfortable. She was like, hey,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: stop it, lah, like, you know, that kind of thing.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And then he turned away, he said, you're not doing
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: a proper job. So I was like, I confronted him.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I was like, bro, why you do this? Like why
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: do you need to do this? Like she's just trying
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: to do her job, you know.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: And then he walks off. He, he ignores me and
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: he walks off, and the cleaner turned to me, she said,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: she said, God, thank you. But he every day like that. Yeah,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: he's not only targeting the, the, the cleaner, but like
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: other people like the security guard, the, um, the gardener,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: like he just doesn't, he has too much time on
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: his hands. I can only imagine what the residents every
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: month would be like with him. I actually think he's,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: he doesn't live there anymore. Good. I haven't seen him
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: in a very long time. I mean, there's that.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Acceptable level of doing that and unacceptable level of doing
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: that too much too much. Anyway, and we're talking about
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: whether or not if you see something that's going on
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: that could be amiss or something wrong out there, would
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: you report it? Would you confront the person, or would
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you just like, OK, you know what, I was brought
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: up to mind my own business, so I'm just going
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: to walk away. Which one of these would you do?
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Long story short, uh, I kind of reported someone for
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: feeding the birds over the Bishan and I
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I have not seen that person do it ever since.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Just that now I cannot believe I feel like Sonia.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I feel bad. You've become me. Yeah, yeah, is the
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: uncle OK? I know. I worry about that sometimes too,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: because a lot of seniors are, right? We have an
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: anonymous texter coming in on WhatsApp. Morning, Sojo. This is
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the first time I'm texting him because I work in
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the wildlife industry and I feel strongly about this. I
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: think Joakim did the right thing, and I would have
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: done the same while we also sympathize with the mentality
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: of the feeders.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: That's why anti-feeding campaign messages these days focus on the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: idea that feeding will not do the animals good because
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: they can be culled eventually when the situation gets out
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: of control. To those who say, mind your own business,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: this is an issue that will become everyone's business when
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the bird poops on someone's car or starts squawking in
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the wee hours of the morning, not from government, but
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: I've reported things like illegal fishing on the official one
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: service app where they can follow up.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: So, um, you know, this is an unintentional ad for
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: the one service app actually because, but it is useful,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: it is useful when you want to report something quickly. Yeah,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: but I must say, very fast. I remember my mom
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: was talking about some birds that were chirping outside our house,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and I think after investigations they realized, OK, we can
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: actually saw off this branch and all that in a
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: more humane and safe manner.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: OK, one last one. We got one more coming in
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: from Naraisha who says, Hey, Sojo, I love this topic.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I have a serial food thrower of a neighbor. Oh
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: my God, not targeting anyone here, but my laundry is
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: constantly showered with rice and sometimes bits of chicken. My
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: mom confronted the neighbor above who appeared totally oblivious. There
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: was once, I did this right before my eye and
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: shouted out my window upwards towards my neighbor's direction.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: And went all joking, Uncle, stop throwing food lah. Then, um,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: any resolution? I've also gone to the one service app
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and it has stopped ever since. OK, but I wonder
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: why that person was doing that. Is it like a
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: psychological thing or what? Why would you throw food outside
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: your window? Just throwing things out the window thinking you
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: won't get caught or cause inconvenience to anyone. Why throw
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: food out the window? I'm so curious. It's a question
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I wish to know as well.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: OK, uh, Alice is on the line right now. What
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: about you?
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I actually worked around Little India previously, so
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I have to drive to Little India and park outside
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: around the street of the some of the shophouses. So that,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: the area is quite uh popular with pigeons and crows.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Oh for sure, yeah, India. Yes, so what happened is
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: that every time I parked there, that I saw one guy,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: he really drove there and took out the cat canned
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: food to feed the birds there.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Diligently and he really feed with not rice but really
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: open up the canned food and then just put in
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: one corner and feed them and then I can see
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: initially I was like, OK, this person is maybe doing
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: something quite fine, but I saw that the bird population
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: just
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Exploded. It exploded. It literally exploded to the extent that
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: the pigeons, they were walking into the restaurants, some parts
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: of the restaurants are open. They were just walking, marching
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: marching around the places, and then I, I can see
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: these birds are getting a bit more calmer.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: More like humanized. They are like, they are very used
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: to humans. I'm like, oh my God, I cannot take
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: it anymore. I tried to glare at him because I
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: felt that maybe by looking at him, you know, every
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: day he see me walk past with that face of mine,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: he will stop it.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: You know, I didn't dare to confront him because I,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I was alone and I'm a bit petite, and I
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: don't think it's, it's, it's, I thought that it's like
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: if you see someone keeps staring at you, you probably
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: have some feeling that this person is like watching you, right?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: So I did it for months and this person never stopped.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I reported it and then it took like maybe 1
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: to 2 months to get this guy.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I think the NEA actually warned, I think they actually
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: caught him on CCTV and warned him about. Oh,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: that's good, that's good.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: They caught him finally.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your call and telling us
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the whole story, E. You take care, OK? And we're
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: going back to our messages first before one more caller
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: hanging on the line. We're talking about whether or not
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: you would report something if you see it, or would
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: you maybe confront the person or just mind your own
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: business and walk away. Text coming in from June saying, morning,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Joakim and Sonia. I just confronted a group of middle-aged.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: an older group of cyclists on Sunday who will not
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: dismount to push their bicycles across the suspension bridge near
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: the Singapore Indoor Stadium. I know which one this is.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: It's the one connecting the stadium area to Tanjong Road
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: where you must dismount and push your bikes. Well, that's
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: because there's a lot of pedestrians as well, yeah, right?
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: And now with the NDP previews happening, right, there's a
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: bit of scaffolding there as well to protect the fireworks,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: when it burst, you know. So one of them was
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: so patronizing to say, OK, but they're not.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Mount. I was finishing a long run that Sunday and
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: just could not hold back, given it's a narrow bridge
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: with loads of human traffic and workers taking down the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: scaffolding after Saturday's NDP preview. There you go. Actually, you know,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: it's funny that you mentioned this place because I remember
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: having to go there a few times for like some
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: filming stuff, and uh the crew, you know, you know,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: we call this Murphy's Law, right? Like when you want
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: to start filming, suddenly there's a lot of people that
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: want to cross, and the, the one of the assistants
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: tried to ask this cyclist to
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Either move to the side or just wait for a while,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: get off or push. He scolded her scolded. Yeah, people
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: can be very entitled. It's never easy being an AD
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: or AP on set. Uh, by the way, this is
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: inspired by what I did in Bishan about this uncle,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the crows. I want to say good morning.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: To Montero. Now we know Bishan got one capo guy
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: named Joakim. Thanks. Thanks. I'm just doing my part. Hello.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Joining us here this morning, um, we also send our
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: love and well wishes to Ariana Grande, of course, one
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: of our pop princesses. But anyway, um, back to our
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: topic of the day, which is, would you report someone
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: if you see something wrong.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Um, confront the person or just mind your own business
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: and walk away. So inspired by what I did against
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: someone feeding the crows over at the Bishan area, just
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: one quick text coming in from your username is cloud,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the emoji. Morning soldier. I keep reporting this van that
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: parks next to the fire hydrant and solid white line
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: as it obstructs traffic.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I love the one service app except that I have
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: to go into the app and fill in details before
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: using the camera and the app to take a photo
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: and sometimes I'm just driving past and I'm not able
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: to stop for long. Yeah, true, because you need it.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: It's encouraged. I mean you can have a dashboard camera,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: then use a screenshot from there or something.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: OK, Melvin, uh, last but not least, what happened? I
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: discovered this mysterious car abandoned by the road, so I
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: waited quite a while. I actually reported to the police
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't an ordinary car by any means. It
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: was worth maybe 5000 to 600,000. So anybody who sees
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: a car abandoned on the road, naturally you would think
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: the driver did something wrong, that's why abandoned the car
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: and left, right.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Exactly, exactly. So maybe he was drinking or, you know,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: drugs might have been involved. So what was the conclusion?
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Did you find out? After I reported to the police,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I waited there because it was just opposite my place.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: So I waited for the police to come and when
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: this mysterious driver came back, it turns out that the
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: car had ran out of fuel and the poor driver
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: probably had to flag down like a random.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: A passerby driver who had to fetch her to the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: next nearest petrol station to, you know, buy like a
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: little can of petrol in order to top up. But
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: kudos to you for being vigilant. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I mean it could have been anything else, to be honest.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: It could have been, yeah.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: OK, thank you so much for your messages and your
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: calls and stories, um, and for the overwhelming response as well.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Only one person can walk away with a beautiful prize
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: thanks to Dyson here today. You know what? Only because
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: this person texted us earlier and this person works in
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: the wildlife industry, to which not easy lah, having to
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: care for the wildlife here in Singapore and also deterring
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: humans from feeding them and breaking all sorts of rules.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: We'll give it to this anonymous.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Dexter, I think you could use the fan to cool
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: yourself from the heat and humidity here in Singapore as well.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Well done, well done. The Dyson Hushjet Mini Cool coming
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: your way, now available in a brand new Singapore exclusive
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Carnelian Sky colorway just in time for our nation's birthday.

  Speaker 1: So please visit their website, Dyson.com.sg. You can actually buy
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: it at any Dyson stores, online, and authorized retailers, and
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: it also comes with a two-year Dyson warranty. So please enjoy.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Hope you.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: We had fun during our show here today. We had
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Licky in the studio and also we are counting down
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: to so many things happening here in Singapore. August 7th,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: don't forget Jalan Besar Stadium, Singapore against Indonesia, and then
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: August 9th, National Day. I'm very curious, um, you know, the, the,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the history of Jalan Besar, right, because Basar means big, right, in,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: in Malay. So was that really the literal meaning like
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the stadium is big, so.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: That's right. Big stadium. I don't think so. I mean translation,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: no stadium here in Singapore will be as big as
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: the national stadium, of course, for sure. And because I
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: believe NDP is happening over there, that's why they must
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: stage this game at Jalan Besar Stadium. Oh, OK. So
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: if not, you would say it would have been done
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: at the actual stadium, yeah, I mean loads of people
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: want to go watch this age-old rivalry, and I really
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: hope Singapore gets some retribution for whatever happened 5 years ago.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: What happened 5 years ago?
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: So 5 years ago, uh, 9 men in Singapore, we
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: had 2 players sent off here. We almost pulled off
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: a miracle, but then in the end, Indonesia beat us
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: and there was a bit of unsportsmanlike behavior. Was it
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: like a big gap in the score? No, no, it was,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: I think 3-2 or was it 4-2. It was close.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: It was a close fight. OK. All right, well, all
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: the best to our boys who are representing us and
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: don't forget they're wearing the new kits. Oh wait. Yeah, yeah,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: it's beautiful.
