#515 - Lawrence Wong to Take Over PM Lee in May & Companies Must Allow Workers to Request Flexi Work Arrangements

We knew this was coming, but it still surprised us when it was finally announced. DPM Lawrence Wong will be taking over as Singapore’s Prime Minister come 15th May. Are we ready for a new PM? What does this announcement mean for the timing of the upcoming General Elections? Elsewhere, authorities announced that all employers must institute a process for workers to make formal requests for flexible work arrangements from December onwards. Does this move the needle on employment welfare, or is it just a grand wayang?(00:00) On this episode...(00:30) A Message From foodpanda(01:30) Intro(01:48) Lawrence Wong to Take Over PM Lee in May(41:16) Companies Must Allow Workers to Request Flexi Work Arrangements(57:47) One Shiok Comment(01:02:14) One Shiok ThingFind us here!Our websiteYLB SubredditYLB TikTokYLB IGOur Sponsor: foodpandaThis episode is brought to you by foodpanda!They are looking for their first-ever Chief Savings Officer, and up for grabs is a 6-month contract worth over $21,000Find out all you need to know at this link. So upload your video by 30 Apr 2024, and good Luck!Lawrence Wong to Take Over PM Lee in MayLawrence Wong to take over from Lee Hsien Loong as prime minister on May 15: PMO‘Quiet wisdom and a steady hand’: Tributes pour in for outgoing PM LeeBusiness as usual at DPM Wong’s MPS in Limbang, following handover announcementCommentary: Lawrence Wong's priorities as new Singapore Prime Minister and the two key milestones to watchPM Lee to stay on as Senior Minister; any major Cabinet changes will come after GE: Lawrence WongCommentary: The art of listening to the people and being a little 'deaf' sometimes - CNACompanies Must Allow Workers to Request Flexi Work ArrangementsAll employers must have process for workers to request flexible work arrangements from December[2023] Flexible work arrangements a key focus of Singapore’s new workers compact: Labour chief Ng Chee MengOne Shiok CommentComment by butthenhorComment by junglejimbo88One Shiok ThingCaitlin Clark 2023 NCAA tournament highlightsHere's How Ray Allen Teaches Jump ShootingMics and Headphones from @shureChairs from @ergotunechairDesk from @castlerysgEdited and mixed by Tristen Yeak Hosted on Acast.
