Listen "#365 - Tin Pei Ling’s Grab Gig Raises Conflict of Interest Concerns & Calvin Cheng Shames Cash-Only Businesses"

Recently, MP Tin Pei Ling announced that she would be joining Grab Singapore as its director of public affairs and policy. Concerns about conflict of interest were raised online, and the story even gained traction and made headlines internationally. At the end of last week, Grab announced that her role would be changed to one of corporate development, and the MP and the PAP both also released press statements addressing the issue. Is there real cause for concern here, or was it much ado about nothing? Elsewhere, Calvin Cheng ignited angry comments on his Facebook post which called people to name and shame businesses that refused to accept digital payments. Was he justified in doing so?
