#375 - Silicon Valley Bank Collapse & Paralympian in Dispute with Cafe Over Guide Dog

Last weekend, the seismic collapse of Silicon Valley Bank threatened to spread as a “contagion” through the US financial system and send it into a tailspin.

Closer to home, Paralympian Sophie Soon was caught in a social media firestorm when she posted a video shaming Rocky Master’s staff for denying her indoor entry into their Hougang cafe with her guide dog. While we agree that Sophie Soon shaming the staff member was uncalled for, Rocky Master’s official statement didn’t win it any new fans either.
