#518 - Shanmugam Rebuts “Sneering” From The Economist & Singaporean Workers Threatening to Quit if Forced to Return to Office?

Last week, Law and Home Affairs Minister Shanmugam clapped back at British publication The Economist with a rebuttal of their article about Lawrence Wong succeeding Lee Hsien Loong as PM. His Facebook post drew many comparisons between the UK and Singapore, and so far has seen a mixed reaction from online commentators. What could have been the impetus behind the response to the “sneer”? Elsewhere, a survey revealed that 1 in 2 Singapore workers would quit their job if asked to be in the office more often. Is this just a strawberry generation mindset, or does it point to societal attitudes towards work-life balance?(00:00) On this episode...(00:23) A message from Folklory(01:55) Intro(06:32) Shanmugam Rebuts “Sneering” From The Economist(38:11) Singaporean Workers Threatening to Quit if Forced to Return to Office?(58:46) One Shiok Comment(01:02:45) One Shiok ThingFind us here!Our websiteYLB SubredditYLB TikTokYLB IGYLB YouTubeFolkloryWe’ll help you “play Mother” this Mother’s Day! Order your Folklory at Folklory.com by 30 Apr and get it by Mother’s Day guaranteed!Shanmugam Rebuts “Sneering” From The EconomistLawrence Wong will be only the fourth PM in Singapore’s historyFacebook Post by K ShanmugamShanmugam rebuts 'sneering' Economist article on Singapore's political successionSingapore’s Shanmugam rebuts ‘sneering’ Economist article on Lawrence Wong’s political succession | South China Morning Post[2023] MCI warns The Economist's bureau chief over 'actions that constituted interference in domestic politics'Singaporean Workers Threatening to Quit if Forced to Return to Office?1 in 2 workers in Singapore will quit their job if asked to be in office more often: SurveySingaporeans Want Hybrid Work | Randstad SingaporeOne Shiok CommentReddit comments on #517Reddit comments on #516One Shiok Thing“Friendly Father”: North Korea releases new song praising leader Kim Jong Un3 Body Problem | Official TrailerMics and Headphones from @shureChairs from @ergotunechairDesk from @castlerysgEdited and mixed by Tristen Yeak Hosted on Acast.
