Yah Lah BUT Live! The Very Best of 2024 | #YLB 600
We’ve made it to episode 600! And what better way to celebrate it than to record it live in front of an audience of 60+ YLB fans, right on the cusp of #SG60. It’s the end of the year and everyone’s doing up their lists, so we thought we’d do a recap of 2024! But this time, no need for Google Trends, no need for mainstream media affirmation, because we are talking about the top 10 most streamed topics of the year, according to YLB! It was a riotous evening at @27AnnSiang (home of RICE Media) that also featured a standup comedy set from @donsayone, an interview with a YLB fan, and a post-show Q&A session for those who turned up. Thank you one and all, you’ve truly made our year!

CEO of US Health Insurer Murdered & Local Cosplayer Offers Unusual Services | #YLB 599
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.9 часов назад
This episode we’re talking about Luigi Mangione, whose alleged murder of the CEO of UnitedHealth on a sidewalk in New York has captured global attention. What could have motivated him to do such a thing? Why is he being hailed as a hero by some people online? And what is his tangential connection to Yah Lah But? Closer to home, we try to figure out how a local cosplayer gained enough of a follo...
Hard to Find Candidates for GE2025 & Swiss Air Crew Film Passengers Having Sex | #YLB 598
Просмотров 3,2 тыс.14 часов назад
The GE2025 hype train has left the station, and you know we love us some political punditry. So today we’re discussing a CNA report on how political parties are having trouble finding new blood for GE2025-going as far as interviewing people who turned down invitations to enter the field. Why is there increasing resistance to joining politics, and what does this bode for the country? What kind o...

We know Singaporeans are an obedient lot, but will we heed the latest guidelines from the Ministry of Social and Family Development? They’ve just issued advice on appropriate caregiving boundaries between parents and children, which covers bathing, nudity, and expressing affection. Joining us for this potentially awkward conversation is comedian Jacky Ng, fresh from stints in Bali and KL. We al...
Fight at Vivocity Lift Goes Viral & Astons Raises Prices by 19%? | #YLB 596

At Yah Lah BUT, we’re big on looking at issues from multiple angles, and we’ve got a good example this episode! A TikTok video showing a fight at a lift lobby in Vivocity went viral this weekend. Who started it? Who was helping and who wasn’t? The answer isn’t as clear as the video suggests, based on information that’s emerged since then. It’s a great cautionary tale against jumping to conclusi...

We’re into the last month of the year and we start with the sad news that a participant of this year’s Standard Chartered Marathon passed away after completing the event. Few details have emerged, so we’re focusing more on the challenges of long-distance running (including Haresh’s own experience), from training to the actual run. Listen to your body, people! We also discuss a story about hair ...
HSA Can Bust You for Vaping & Yet Another Case of Blackface | #YLB 594

There’s no smoke without fire…or in this case, vapes? Apparently, plainclothes Health Sciences Authority (HSA) officers have the power to enter and search your house if they suspect you possess a vape, and they don’t need a warrant to do it. A recent incident involving TikToker Rapperboy has us asking, just how far does the long arm of the law reach? What are the safeguards against scammers tak...

SG60 is just round the corner, and Singapore’s beloved cabaret troupe Dim Sum Dollies are back to celebrate it! In this episode, we speak to founding member Selena Tan about the Dollies’ 22-year history, their upcoming show, and whether or not cancel culture has made it harder for comedians. She’s had a gutsy journey herself, abandoning the law profession in a time when a career in theatre was ...
PAP Turns 70, Enters its Lawrence Wong Era & Even Hokkien Mee is AI Now | #YLB 592
Просмотров 6 тыс.14 дней назад
The ruling People’s Action Party turned 70, and has officially entered its Lawrence Wong era. At its ginormous biennial conference, our new PM formally took over as the party’s Secretary-General. Of course, we had to read between the lines and dissect his speech, as hype builds towards next year’s general election. Is that the oft-mentioned “fear-mongering” about the Opposition we’re hearing? A...
Student Eco-activist Charged for Deflating Tyres & Singapore’s Toilet Mascot Returns | #YLB 591
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.21 день назад
Today’s episode is all about sending messages and changing behaviours. An NUS student thought it was a good idea to deflate the tyres of several cars to send a message about vehicular carbon emissions. Deflate only; no harm done right? We discuss the global movement that inspired this student, and why such actions may not be as clever as they seem. Meanwhile, the government has re-introduced a ...
Resorts World Sentosa Underperforms & HSBC Managers Reapply for Their Jobs | #YLB 590

There’s a saying in gambling: the house always wins. Unless, it seems, you’re Resorts World Sentosa. Due to unsatisfactory tourism metrics, authorities have only renewed its casino licence for two years, instead of the usual three. The Integrated Resorts opened to such fanfare in 2010, yet RWS’ facade now seems to be… dare we say… DISintegrating? Where did it all go wrong? In other news, HSBC’s...
Big Tech, Small Perks & MFA Officer Guilty of Child Neglect | #YLB 589
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.21 день назад
Big Tech used to be all about big employee perks: flexible hours, free food, travel opportunities, in-office naps and massages, all to attract top talent to do high-value work. But as the tech crunch continues, these perks are being swallowed. Will glamorous tech firms eventually become like all other mundane companies? Separately, we look at what is arguably the biggest employee perk ever: dip...
How to Save Our Hawkers & First Astronaut from Singapore? | #YLB 588

In Parliament this week, an epic 5-hour debate about how to save our hawker culture took place. PSP’s Leong Mun Wai and Hazel Poa put forth a slew of suggestions, which were hotly debated by both sides of the floor. At the end, the amended bill was passed unanimously, highlighting the pressing need to preserve our hawker culture, but will it be enough? Elsewhere, a Singapore PR made headlines w...
Lighter Penalties for Traffic Offenders & Standardised School Meals | #YLB 587

In a surprising move, the Ministry of Home Affairs is proposing a slew of legal amendments that will lessen the punishment for road traffic offences, even if they result in grievous hurt or death. Pretty unusual for a country that tends towards harsher punishments for many things! We discuss the MHA’s thinking behind this, and what signals it may inadvertently send. In other news, the days of i...

People are calling the 2024 US Presidential Election the ‘Podcast Election’ for the role that long-form, unfiltered conversations played in shaping popular opinion. So is Lawrence Wong becoming our ‘Press Conference Prime Minister’? He has pledged to do more press conferences, not tied to any specific announcements, just to improve the government’s public communications. In a recent one, he wei...

ho kwon ping is not super wise lah, more true is he was lucky to born with a silver spoon niah. maybe i wrong but no need 'adore', 'filled with praises' as if like they are saints, sage, prophets, or immortals or even gods lah... . he suggests here 'sinkapoleans should travel abroad to appreciate sinkapo gohmen '? noelah, it should be : why not travel abroad oso make us to appreciate other countries gohmens as well ?! eg, we can travel to malaysia, china, UK , even cambodia, indonesia, actually ALL countries, we to appreciate their establishments, ministries, departments... buildings, infrastructures, histories, ! sinkapoleans are famous for being ignorant, stupid, arrogant. as i watched 2024 recent sg gohmen CNA news: do sinkapoleans read this recent news : that sinkapo gohmen just signed agreements to import annually megawatts of electricity from 'two lousy countries' cambodia, malaysia...?? travel abroad is to appreciate sinkapo, but oso to appreaciate abroad countries as well. it is not like ho kwon ping here suggests only to appreciate ownself, how narrow-minded... .
sinkapoleans always only just 'adore', 'filled with praises' 'look up' to the powderful gohmen people and the rich business people of sinkapo like ho kwon ping here, w/o dare to raise a question for them

I love this show! The Haresh and Terence pairing is not replicable, like good art (though I do love Munah as guest; she is comedic). (:
Bring back quantam guy for a full episode
Kishore is the least respected social poster in Asia, as most Asians condemned his disdain for fellow Asians by instead of calling out the criminal west for their crimes against fellow Asians, he spit at fellow Asians n brand their victimisation as their humiliation. Indians especially dispised him after suffering 200 years of incessant rapes and plunder. This man is void of humanity and just a attention seeker of his western gods The west continues to attack Asia and Asians emboldened by his inhuman assertion that commiting crimes against Asian have no consequences except the Asians own humiliation . Sick man kishore
Cool🎉
Congrats! One of my go to sources for local commentary. Looking forward to more episodes in the future 😊
More to come!
The lift in Vivocity is a timebomb waiting to explode. The 2 lifts are the only one that can go from B2 to L3 and everyone is trying to use it. It is small and now they "upgraded" it by giving it "no touch" buttons. the no touch buttons are so sensitive that ended up every level is being pressed and it has to stop at every floor even if no one is going to that level. They actually "improved" with 2 new lifts but that 2 new lifts does not go to B2 to the MRT and also many people do not know about these new lifts. Whoever managing the shopping center make lots of wrong decisions.
Everyone hates PAP.
How do you know for sure everybody hates PAP
I would argue it is like porn. It is sexual and exploiting men weakness
54:50 foreshadow for next episode on nric acra thing where the gov is backtracking for nric masking
Haha yeah I realised how timely a discussion it was
I find that when new political candidates are announced, the information the public usually get is waay too basic: so-and-so is a 30-50 something-year old lawyer / doctor / ex-general who has been active in a GRC for X years and is married with 2 kids. This type of information is barely enough for voters to make a good judgement on what kind of parliamentarian they will be once elected. What are their views on the rising cost of living in Singapore? What are their views on income inequality in Singapore? What are their views on the the affordability of public housing? Have they formed their own thoughts on these issues or will they just regurgitate status quo policies? These are important questions to ask because if they get elected, they will be in parliament voting for various motions and bills which impact the lives of Singaporeans. I truly believe the reason Worker’s Party won in Sengkang GRC is because of Jamus Lim’s participation at the televised debate. We get to hear his and Workers Party’s positions on various key issues, not just basic biodata of each candidate.
Was it planned, or did you all just happen to coordinate in Yah Lah But colours? Haresh’s floral-patterned shirt with shades of black, beige, and white, paired with Terence’s light shirt in muted tones, and dark bottoms blends perfectly with the overall palette. Great sync!
Not planned! Just like how we prepare for the topics, we don’t discuss beforehand

Woke trash content
they are men of culture and ruru is sama. every sama can do this. only ruru does it the ruru way.
The article cited how individuals who had been approached to become MPs decided to reject the invitation due to concerns over their family’s privacy, what with the intense public scrutiny which comes with the role. I do empathise with that because social media is especially full of trolls. Perhaps they find other platforms to contribute in their own ways. But what happens to Singapore if the only ones who do end up stepping forward to become MPs or ministers are the types of personalities who love and seek attention ie. narcissists or those who are power hungry?
Altruism, misplaced or otherwise…..and role~playing, professional or otherwise ~ can prove to be slippery slopes to be navigated with Much caution.
For outstanding sportsmen/women, arts and music, successful businessman and women, the PAP will invite them as Nominated MP.
For the PAP, the most important criteria is to be a yes man and run the town council the rest is not important as long as you vote along party line in Parliament.
Haresh is fundamentally incoherent.... in a team of 80-90....can all be leaders? Too many cooks spoilt the....

Is a sportsman abusing drugs during competitions an Honest Man of high integrity? What can he do when elected? But i am not alluding to the iszmaran
it might be a good excuse for them to "parachute" those paper generals in the SAF.
Hi YahLahBut! May I know what is the name of the song on the background at 40 seconds mark?
44:44 Hareesh is right about his hypothesis. There is such a community of males who are in powerful positions in the world and have darker secrets/indulgence that are akin to giving up control. There is a good personification of such behaviour through a TV drama series call Billions. Though it is a TV drama series, it helps the audience understand why such powerful people have opposite lives. e.g. the US attorney is in a very powerful position to charge fraudulent behaviour in the Southern distruct of New York. However, he appeals to unorthodox means to calm his nerves whenever he is going to engage or has engaged in intense situations when doing his attorney job. And for Ruru-sama, she's tapping on the simp market and her youth to earn as much as she is still relevant. So kudoes to her, but if one of her clients happens to be a powerful oligarch, she may need to maneuver carefully if she wants out. (refer to social influencers who accepted saudi princes invitation, keyword potta porty)
While Singapore doesn’t have Winter during Christmas. I kinda like the regular Monsoon thunderstorm cooling heavy downpour which unfortunately, seemed to be lacking these past few years.
USA medicals costs an arm and a leg. If a country lacks people power, democracy cannot work. American democracy never worked as the voters are helpless in demanding for change because candidates are funded by billionaires. Had SKorea citizens not been able to effect People Power, today's SKorea would be a Dictatorship by now. Imagine if SKoreans had said, "Martial Law? Bo Bian one mah. Lan Lan lor. Got food to eat, bed to sleep, can already. What for criticise? What for protest? At the end of the day, got ricebowl can already. You eat full already nothing to shhiit? You think you so good, you go Do It Lah!!"😅
If a mad dog is killed, and many innocent lives saved......does the killing make any sense, i wonder?
Death is sometimes deemed as necessity eg. Death Penalty?? Is it fair if i say that? Is it true most singaporeans support death sentence? Is it true if not, the death penalty could have been abolished or tweaked?? But death did not get to people like Putin.
USA healthcare is indeed too expensive. So this murder is not surprising. Is sg heading in the same direction if not already?
Kalvin Cheng la , super duper hi caliber🤣🤣🤣🤭🐑🐑🐑 Or maybe ask SiaXue, JanHao, Weekly Kuechup? The french of the pxp ?🤣
???Hard to find Candidates??? So high salaries and part time job don't want? Let's dissect this. 1. So many eager grassroots leaders. I don't mean they are eager to be MPs.🤭🐑. Is it possible none of these want to be MP if given the chance? The odds seems stacked highly against this notion. 2. Reportedly, a son of someone once said he not interested in politics. Then recently he resigned. People dare to make him want to resign?? What is the likelihood? 😅 So having said not interested, how can he join politics?? 3. How about claiming that due to severe problem of finding talents, he decided to save the country by sacrificing himself and step forward?? How great right? 4. How about find an excuse to delay the ERection of flag? 🤭😁💩🐑🏳️🏳️🏳️💩💩💩🏳️💩
What is your take on Elon Musk said on "Singapore will be extinct"?
PM LW must lose GE2025. Do not trust PAP. Do not vote PAP.
end of the day, it is just a 13500sgd per month job, if you can vote it is better to do what is right, as the dna of pap is long gone with lkys death. And ministers are paid like 100 to 150k per month, so it has to change
Politics takes Alot more ❤ than what most of us know…or think ~ Good Luck to us All ~ ~*.
Dear Terrance, i always respected your views being objective but for Joseph S being an MP because of his Gold medal, u lost it!! its like u r saying master chef winning the top accolade can be an MP championing social and living issues??
Schooling smoked weed
If sportsman were to be a role model, or MP, he must not have been found to be a drug taker. Relying on drugs for competition is not a Honest behavior. But I think where he was coming from was he having brought glory to SG qualifies himself as someone who is self-made and a top achiever deserving such a position compared to those who are basically air-dropped and unknown to most voters.
how wld one be inspired by plp who says things like: i hv a car, my wife has a car, we r professional....
some circumstances like???gd soldier does not equate to good educator etc
you try lor, Proma you😂😂😂
ruling party will fix plp who serve their country if not with them. if with them, party whip so you r just joining numbers to make Singaporeans life worst...lose lose
You are so right.... .
Joseph can be a leader advocating against use of drugs in sports.😅 has he done anything like this? He can be a leader preaching to young sportsmen that you must not use drugs to win in sports , you must be Honest and Hardworking . Else you are not a leader but someone unwholesome not qualified to lead
If A system is already perceived by many to have flawed policies, if new candidates join for self interest, are they not just making things worse by giving the people much more of the same since they are bound by party whip?
I would like an MP who is knowledgeable, well-spoken and has Gravitas.
