Why This Teochew Movie Sparked a Parliament Debate | Dear You Movie《给阿嬷的情书》 | Ep16
<p>Two chiak-kentang Chinese guys in Little India enjoying prata and Teh Tarik, and grumbling about the latest local drama. </p><p>What could be more Singaporean?</p><p>Marcus Lim and Benjamin Chiang weigh in on the movie that has local audiences scrambling for tickets and the government sweating. The Teochew-dialect version of the China mega-hit Dear You (给阿嬷的情书) has been consistently selling out screenings across the island. </p><p>But what started as a cinematic nostalgia trip has quickly spiralled into a major talking point about propaganda, thanks to a local newspaper article. Are we being overly sensitive, or are there wider geopolitical implications at play? </p><p>Could a seemingly innocent, emotional movie about a grandmother actually be a soft-power tool targeting the overseas Chinese diaspora? And if so, how is this any different from Hollywood pumping out Pentagon-backed blockbusters like Top Gun: Maverick to promote the US military? Should we be funding our own soft-power films? </p><p>And should the government finally lift the decades-old restrictions on dialect films in cinema?</p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Intro01:33 "Dear You" Movie 给阿嬷的情书 (A Massive Spoiler)</p><p>02:50 Dialect Debate: Stephen Chow Movies In Mandarin?</p><p>04:20 Did A Tiny $1.5m Sleeper Hit Become a Soft Power Tool?</p><p>06:27 They Said Singaporeans Lack Critical Thinking!</p><p>09:00 The Real Reason Singaporean Dialects Are Dying</p><p>12:25 “Senator, I'm Singaporean” - Ancestry Vs Nationality</p><p>17:08 Iron Man 3 Had A Whole Other China-Only Sequence?! </p><p>19:06 Top Gun Maverick Vs Dear You: What’s The Difference Between Hollywood & Beijing Propaganda?</p><p>22:07 How Singapore Fights Foreign Interference</p><p>🔎 Follow us for exclusive updates: </p><p>🔴 YouTube: @majulahpresents</p><p>🟢 Spotify: @majulahpresents </p><p>🟣 Apple Podcast: @majulahpresents </p><p>🎥 TikTok: @majulahpresents </p><p>📷 Instagram: @majulahpresent</p>

Who are the WP cadres deciding Pritam’s future? | Ep 15
<p>Benjamin and Marcus dissect the massive internal reckoning facing the Workers’ Party. With a special cadres conference forcing a referendum on Pritam Singh’s leadership, we look at the high-stakes battle happening with cadres of Singapore's largest opposition party.</p><p>But who are these cadres?</p><p>We reveal the secretive cadre system and explore how it acts as both a shield against party hijacking and a tool for securing influence.</p><p>Singapore’s history of political power struggles ranges from the bitter 2001 fallout between Low Thia Khiang and J.B. Jeyaretnam, the explosive 1961 PAP vs. Barisan Socialis split, and the historic tie-breaker vote that resulted in Lee Kuan Yew becoming Prime Minister. </p><p>What sets this upcoming Workers' Party conference apart is the stakes: while past challenges fought over ideas or electoral results, this is a direct referendum on personal integrity. The outcome of this vote will be a defining milestone, signaling exactly what Singaporeans truly value from their political leaders.</p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 Intro</p><p>02:00 What Led To The 28 June Special Cadres Conference</p><p>06:51 3 Critical Agendas Facing Pritam Singh</p><p>10:22 The Tiebreaker That Made Lee Kuan Yew Prime Minister</p><p>11:51 Factions & Defections: The Day The PAP Split</p><p>14:45 Turning Point For The WP: Low Thia Khiang Vs J.B.

Who Was Really Behind The SIA Halal Saga | Ep14
<p>What do a national airline, a global coffee chain, and a suspiciously inauthentic social media account have in common?</p><p>They are all at the center of Singapore’s latest online storms, sparking heated debates over halal certification, shared spaces, and personal choice.</p><p>In this episode, hosts Marcus Lim and Benjamin Chiang sit down with Mohamed Imran Mohamed Taib, Founding Director of Dialogue Centre Limited. Together, they discuss the controversy surrounding Singapore Airlines’ onboard catering procedures, while Imran explains why not having halal-exclusive ovens doesn't mean the food isn't halal.</p><p>But the drama didn't stop there. In quick succession, Starbucks landed itself in hot water after an outlet at East Coast Park, conveniently located next to a dog run, posted an ill-executed "No Dogs Allowed" sign. The corporate move to pursue halal certification quickly triggered a clash of lifestyles between pet lovers and religious requirements. (Update: MUIS has come out to state that it has not received any application for halal certification by Starbucks)</p><p>The biggest revelation, however, is the account that triggered the entire Singapore Airlines saga. A mysterious account bent on stoking societal fault lines with incendiary sentiments cloaked in “innocent questions”.</p><p>Are we being manipulated this whole time?</p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 - Intro01:07 - The SIA Halal Controversy05:47 - Halal, Haram, & Makrooh - what do they actually mean?08:56 - Are Vegetarian Restaurants Halal?11:44 - The Trillion-Dollar Halal Industry17:44 - Are We Turning Away From Each Other? 24:53 - Break25:08 - "No Dogs" at Starbucks!33:13 - Muslim Lady With A Pet Dog?!35:24 - Living On Prayer And Trust41:30 - Unmasking Opsieeedaisyyyy: Fake Bot Account behind it all.47:04 - If The Source Is Suspicious, Is the Discussion Valid?48:21 - The Antidote To Online Negativity</p><p>DARRENSHOW #14: SQ Muslim meal debate: Are Muslims expecting too much?</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_uS5fTWMDI</p><p>🔎 Follow us for exclusive updates: </p><p>🔴 YouTube: @majulahpresents</p><p>🟢 Spotify: @majulahpresents </p><p>🟣 Apple Podcast: @majulahpresents </p><p>🎥 TikTok: @majulahpresents </p><p>📷 Instagram: @majulahpresent</p>
