Episode Synopsis


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 individual school canteen stalls may be numbered, as fewer people want to do the job. What will students lose if schools move to a centralised kitchen / cookhouse model for canteens?(00:00) A Message From SCDF(01:04) Intro(07:22) Is the Government Going Easy on Traffic Offenders?(27:18) The End of School Canteen Stalls?(42:49) One Shiok Comment(44:49) One Shiok ThingCareers with SCDFFor more information, check out https://scdfcareers.sg/Listen to Sergeant Gina on YLB 566Find us here!Our Website: https://www.ministryoffunny.comReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/YahLahBut/Telegram: https://t.me/YahLahButPodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahlahbutIG: https://www.instagram.com/yahlahbut/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@yahlahbutIs the Government Going Easy on Traffic Offenders?Removing mandatory sentences for first-time offenders among proposed changes to Singapore's road traffic lawsProposed changes to traffic rules to prevent some offenders from being overly punishedFirst Reading of the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Amendments) BillThe End of School Canteen Stalls? New canteen models for schools an option soon as MOE tackles stallholder shortagesPre-packed meals, dispensers: Canteen vendor shortage drives S’pore schools to serve up alternativesOne Shiok CommentComment by 299792458mpersecComment by SplashhhhOne Shiok ThingEmi Aramaki - Purple DreamTangle NewsMics and Headphones from @shureChairs from @ergotunechairThe Meat Club: Use the code “YLB20” for $20 off your order at https://themeatclub.com.sg/yahlahbut Edited and mixed by Tristen Yeak
