Listen "#209 - SAF General appointed as CEO of pre-school sector agency & Clown PR stunt gets backlash"
Episode Synopsis
At the end of the year, a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) General, Tan Chee Wee, will be appointed chief executive of the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA). We debate whether a high-ranking military officer really has the competence and knowledge to oversee SG’s pre-school sector. Also, an enrichment centre behind a PR campaign involving clowns loitering around outside primary schools has apologised for the panic caused. What gives?
