#777 ft. Rishi Budhrani - Plastic Bag Charges: Who Benefits? & Why are SG Workers Unhappy?

from Yah Lah But

We get Singapore’s favourite funnyman, comedian Rishi Budhrani as a guest host on this episode! You’ll be surprised where we go, as we start with 2 everyday news topics, but end up going deep into what it means to lead a life of meaning. In the first topic, Singapore’s plastic bag charge has raised millions of dollars, but how supermarket chains use the proceeds is drawing scrutiny after they all recently reported the numbers. Does Singapore really need a plastic bag charge? We also dissect a recent workplace survey showing how Singapore workers have one of the lowest happiness levels in the region.
