Show Notes
Grab officially ended its pursuit of a buyout of Trans-Cab after Singapore's competition watchdog announced that it believed the deal would result in "a substantial lessening of competition" in the local ride hailing scene. Was this turn of events a win for consumers? Elsewhere, Raffles Institution has drawn flak after a photo of a student dressed as a delivery rider for Racial Harmony Day made its rounds on the internet. Was it a malicious action on the student’s part? What made the costume particularly offensive in Singapore’s context?
