Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat once said, ‘every school is a good school.” Yet, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong himself noted during his first National Day Rally speech in August that not everyone is convinced when MOE says 'every school is a good school'. He pointed out that Singaporeans will have their own preferences and considerations for their school choices, and 'it will not be possible to convince everyone'. But what is the argument for choosing to go to a good or legacy school? Does going to a so-called 'not good' school close doors to opportunities? Who does it matter to: parents, tutors or children? And is it time we retire this notion once and for all? On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Emil Lim, Founder of First Principles Education and Jason Tan, Associate Professor at the National Institute of Education.

Today's episode is the last of our At The Beach series, recorded live from the Montagu Bathing Pavilion, known by the regulars as the GASA Bathing Pavilion. Christine Doolan celebrated National Day at the Pavilion, and took advantage of the earlier opening time by decorating the space with red and white. By all accounts there was a lovely community atmosphere. The Supported Needs and Disabilities Office work hard to make sure that our most popular bathing sports are accessible to all. Jenny Victory told us what changes have been made this summer. At yesterday's National Day Rally the Chief Minister read out a letter from King Charles III, in which His Majesty commended Gibraltar on its conservation efforts. Chief Executive of the Department of the Environment Stephen Warr spoke to us about his reaction to the King's warm words. Kenneth Avellano is considered by regulars as the unofficial boss of the Pavilion. He loves the convenience of the place and how family friendly it is. He described how he goes looking for starfish and other creatures in the area with his grandchildren. And, Denise Bossino interrupted her lunch to tell us how much she loves the Pavilion, and goes there every day regardless of the weather! She wishes that bathers would be allowed to stay later than 8pm. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We ask Indranee Rajah - Minister in the Prime Minister's Office - to explain the mindset shift aim of the enhanced parental leave scheme, announced on Aug 18. Synopsis: The Usual Place host Natasha Ann Zachariah hunts for new perspectives on issues of the day, and finds out about what young people are talking about. When it was announced at the National Day Rally that the parental leave scheme would be enhanced starting in April 2025, Ms Indranee recalls young parents being happy to hear the news.  Employers, she adds, on the other hand, are cautiously welcoming the news as they put forth their concerns about managing schedules and workloads. Ms Indranee talks about the need for a well-designed workplace to make shared parental leave work for all, not just parents of newborns.  This would mean fathers giving advance notice of when they want to take their leave or compensating those who take on a parent's workload - with the money freed up by the government-paid paternity leave. Natasha asks Ms Indranee why fathers haven't been so keen to take up the existing provisions - reluctant line managers seem to be standing in the way - and if this would be the game-changing move couples need to support their aspirations to start and grow their families?

A first-of-its-kind financial aid targeted at workers who lose their jobs involuntarily was launched by Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong at the National Day Rally recently. Under the SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support scheme, lower- to middle-income individuals who have been retrenched can receive up to S$6,000 over six months, with payouts starting at a maximum of S$1,500 in the first month and declining subsequently. To qualify for the scheme, Singaporeans and permanent residents must be unemployed due to involuntary reasons such as retrenchment or illness, have earned S$5,000 or less per month, be actively engaged in searching for a new job, among other conditions. The scheme will be rolled out for citizens in April 2025, and for permanent residents in the first quarter of 2026. On this episode of Morning Shot, Walter Theseira, Associate Professor for the Economics Programme at Singapore University of Social Sciences shares his perspectives.

Singapore's Gifted Education Programme (GEP) in primary schools is set to be overhauled to become more inclusive. This was announced during Lawrence Wong's maiden National Day Rally speech. The school-based programmes for higher-ability learners, which now cater to 7 per cent of each cohort, will expand to take in 10 per cent, or 3,000 students a year.  There'll also be after-school supplementary modules aimed at further developing students in their areas of strength and interest, that are not intended to replace regular curriculum. These are part of a series of changes to the 40-year-old GEP. On this episode of Morning Shot, Associate Professor Jason Tan from the National Institute of Education's Policy, Curriculum and Leadership Department shares his insights on the latest developments.   Presented by: Audrey SiekProduced & Edited by: Yeo Kai Ting (ykaiting@sph.com.sg)Photo credits: ST FileSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More grants for lower-income couples and community care apartments for seniors are also in the works, and singles will be included in a scheme that gives priority to people applying for new public flats near their parents.  On this episode of Morning Shot, Former Nominated Member of Parliament, Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law from the Yong Pung How School of Law at Singapore Management University shares his insights of PM Wong's first National Day Rally speech.

Coming on the back of new measures announced at the National Day Rally, Saktiandi Supaat, MP for Bishan Toa-Payoh GRC and Tin Pei Ling, MP for MacPherson SMC share their first-hand accounts of bread and butter issues such as rising costs of living, as well as challenges behind building up retirement adequacy.  Presented by: Lynlee Foo This podcast is produced and edited by Yeo Kai Ting (ykaiting@sph.com.sg)   Highlights: (00:00) Introduction (00:57) Pei Ling - as PM Lee said, cost of living is on everyone's minds. We understand that a significant proportion of your residents at MacPherson are elderly - now, what are their reactions and feedback to PM's latest announcements?  (02:23) How challenging will do you think it will be for the implementation of such infrastructural enhancements, especially for the older estates especially? (03:39) Saktiandi, bringing you in here. Through the new Majulah Package - those 50 years and older, will be getting CPF bonuses to help them meet their retirement needs. You're a trained economist - tell us, with inflation now in the picture, how would you rate this segment's retirement adequacy based on your interactions with residents as you walk the ground?  (05:12) How much, really, is needed for retirement? And how would you compare our CPF system with other pension systems in other parts of the world?  (06:32) Pei Ling - we know that support for families is close to your heart - one of the key issues you've talked about in Parliament on multiple occasions. In line with what PM mentioned about tackling elderly loneliness, and encouraging active ageing - what are the gaps you see, and what can be improved through government initiatives?  (09:32) The topic of housing also featured in a big way during the NDR. Saktiandi - National Development Minister Desmond Lee has also announced the $14,000 income ceiling for families and singles to buy Plus flats on the resale market. How far will the new measures help in keeping public housing affordable? Afterall, demand for housing is rising, and market forces are challenging to contain. (12:00) What is one key message you hope Singaporeans can take away from PM's National Day Rally, and what will you personally be working on with your residents in the coming months? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will deliver his 2023 National Day Rally speech at 6.45pm this weekend. But after all the political roller coaster Singapore has gone through the last few months, how would the tone of this National Day Rally be like?  Dr. Felix Tan, Political Observer, Nanyang Technological University shares his views. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is set to deliver his National Day Rally 2023 speech on Sunday (Aug 20) at the Institute of Technical Education headquarters in Ang Mo Kio at 6.45pm. Ahead of the much anticipated rally, former Nominated Member of Parliament Walter Theseira, Associate Professor for Economics at the Singapore University of Social Sciences, and Nadia Samdin, Member of Parliament for Ang Mo Kio GRC, and member of the Government Parliamentary Committee for National Development - share their perspectives on key issues such as housing, rising cost of living and support for an ageing population. Presented by: Lynlee Foo & Ryan Huang This podcast is produced and edited by Yeo Kai Ting (ykaiting@sph.com.sg)   Highlights:  (00:00) Introduction (01:59) Nadia - can you broadly tell us your wishlist for this year's NDR, based on the issues that you've encountered on-the-ground as an MP? (02:49) Walter, you've got a lot that you watch - you've got your eye on the economy, you've got your eye especially on the transport sector. So, what's your wishlist looking like? (04:06) Let's talk about housing - it's something that many of us are passionate about and we've seen the government introduce cooling measures such as higher additional buyer's stamp duty (ABSD) rates for residential property in April. Based on your interactions with residents, what are the top concerns and aside from affordability, what other issues have they raised? (05:19) It's a very interesting mix of priorities. You mentioned SERS for the older bunch, they want to stay where they are typically, whereas the other bunch want to see higher prices. So there's a very tough balance, right? (06:19) Looking at the May Day Rally, Walter, we had DPM Lawrence Wong, he said, "When you think about affordability, please don't just look at the headline price of the BTO flat; also consider how the price relates to income, as well as the proportion of income that's needed to service the housing loan." How does that pair up with how income is moving? Are there particular sectors that could benefit from a push on that front?  (08:04) Walter - could you weigh in on the challenges behind keeping home prices affordable against market forces?  (10:00) Nadia - let's talk about the rising costs of living, when you talk to the residents around you, and walk the grounds, what are you hearing from them, where's the pinch and what areas do you feel need more support?  (10:59) Linking that to ageing and putting into context here, 1 in 4 will be a senior by 2030. Against that backdrop, what enhancements do you hope to see - is it more on infrastructure or the softer side of things? (12:36) Walter, when you talk about some of the economic benefits out there behind ramping up efforts for infrastructure to tackle ageing, how do we stack up against other countries on that front?

One law has been talked about by many Singaporeans for months - Section 377A of the Penal Code, which criminalises sex between men.

Many people are unfamiliar with the process of how this is to be done and why this approach is being taken. The Straits Times explains how a law is repealed, how the Constitution can be amended, and why the Government is taking this approach.
