  • Great conversations!

    I’ve been hooked since discovering the YLB pod during the 2025 elections interviews and coverage of the various candidates. This is a pod that all Singaporeans should listen and catch up on the current topics in Singapore. I dare say, “Better than MSM!” Keep those conversations going!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#816: Prof. Teo You Yenn - The Problem With SG’s Education System & Why Parents Feel Helpless
Q: How do you respond to criticism or political pushback when publishing critical analyses of policy?
She notes she tries to stay focused on empirical findings and the through-line of her argument, muting feedback to avoid defensive writing and maintain a coherent narrative that serves readers who are not specialists.
#816: Prof. Teo You Yenn - The Problem With SG’s Education System & Why Parents Feel Helpless
Q: What motivated you to make your research accessible to a broad public?
Teo explains that her training in public sociology and a commitment to societal usefulness pushed her toward engaging with non-academic audiences, believing that research should help address real-world problems and be relevant to everyday life.
#812: WP’s Kenneth Tiong on The “STUPID” Comment & Why He Left Finance for Opposition Politics
Q: Can you walk us through the moment you described as fiery in Parliament and how you balance message with tone?
Kenneth explains his approach to messaging—focusing on one or two core messages, using robust and direct language for urgent policies, while being prepared to apologize if a line crosses OB markers, as he did in the Chee Hong Tat incident.
#812: WP’s Kenneth Tiong on The “STUPID” Comment & Why He Left Finance for Opposition Politics
Q: What is your stance on strategic investment and how should Singapore manage capital to back local firms?
He argues for more strategic investment roles for capital, including a potential Exim Bank, to ensure capital supports Singaporean companies expanding internationally, rather than leaving them to navigate purely commercial, opaque structures.
#808 - LKY School Dean on Closing the Straits of Malacca & Why The US is NOT in Decline
Q: Is the US in decline, and what does that mean for global order?
The guest argues that the US remains powerful with a deep reservoir of influence, even if perceived decline is overstated, and that shifts will create a more diffused international system.
