Deadly Fires, Grab Beats Uber and Building 'Green' in Vietnam

We start with a conversation about local fire safety in the wake of last week's deadly apartment building fire in District 8, as well as a string of smaller blazes in recent days. Then, we discuss Grab's acquisition of Uber's Southeast Asian operations. How might this impact everyday users? Our interview segment features Melissa Merryweather, the director of Green Consult-Asia and chair of the Vietnam Green Building Council. She shares insight on what it takes to build 'green' in Vietnam, as well as some of the problems she has with Saigon's new high-rise residential projects. As always, we end with Banh Mi Banter. Corgi butts are mentioned, so tune in for that.
