Our streets used to be lively and lined with buskers but since the pandemic started in early 2020, they have become a lot quieter. Some buskers have tried to switch to performing online but many still wish to return to performing on the streets. The pandemic has affected Singapore's busking scene and the livelihoods of our buskers. Although there has been support provided from the government, our buskers are still facing many challenges. So what more can be done to help our buskers? On the third episode of the second season, host and Associate Director at the Institute of Policy Studies Liang Kaixin chats with Yeo Ying Hao, co-chairman of Buskers Association and freelance busker with Chinese pop band Afterworkers, as well as Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency (GRC) Member of Parliament (MP) Louis Ng, who has advocated for buskers and helped to set up the association in 2019, to discuss about the plight of buskers during the pandemic and their hopes for the future of busking.

In the past, it was common for wives to stay at home to take care of the house and the children while husbands were the sole breadwinners. However, recently there has not only been the rise in dual-income households, but also stay-at-home dads. Yet, there is still stigma and misconceptions associated with stay-at-home dads. With the change in household roles, how do these husbands grapple with their identity and what can be done better to support stay home dads? On the second episode of the second season, host and Associate Director at the Institute of Policy Studies Liang Kaixin chats with Kelvin Seah, full-time stay home father of two, and Tam Wai Jia, a medical doctor whose husband left his career to be a stay home father, to talk about some of the challenges they face coming from ‘unconventional' households, the idea of masculinity and ways to support these families.

While previously seen as a taboo, talking about race in Singapore is becoming more common now especially with the rise of social media. However, while social media opens space for discourse, it also creates space for polarisation. So how can we talk about instances of racism? Do such conversations detract from the larger structural racism? Aren't we tired from talking about racism? On the first episode of the second season, host and Associate Director at the Institute of Policy Studies Liang Kaixin chats with two of our guests Daniel Goh, Associate Professor of Sociology, and Co-founder of Ministry of Funny Haresh Tilani about the pros and cons of using social media as a platform to talk about race, the idea of Chinese privilege and the changing attitudes towards discussions about race.

In Singapore schools, there is an equal ratio of men and women in the science and tech streams. But at tertiary levels and in the job market, men in tech outnumber women. Efforts are being made to correct this imbalance, as well as that in other sectors where women are under-represented. But can this be considered tokenism? Shouldn’t women — and men — be hired based purely on merit? Besides hiring practices, what else needs to change? And what role do men have to play in this? In the final episode of this season, we speak to two female trailblazers in the Singapore tech industry. They share their experiences with conscious and unconscious gender biases and other barriers that may have stood in their way over the course of their respective careers. Despite these factors, our guests also highlight the opportunities and ways in which women can thrive in their careers, regardless of industry.

In Singapore, where binational marriages are on the rise, what cultural and policy adjustments must be made to balance openness with national interests? People who are called “foreign talent” may sometimes have lived in Singapore for several decades — like one of our guests on this episode. On the cultural front, does the label “foreigner” still apply to these people? Is it possible to be from both Singapore and somewhere else? Where Singapore citizenship is concerned, the choice can be difficult as dual citizenship is not a possibility. For the children of binational couples, these questions of identity can be hard to grapple with. In this episode, we discuss the various cultural and policy implications of binational marriages, and why this concerns Singaporeans, non-Singaporeans, and those that fall in between. IPS is conducting a study on binational couples where one partner is Singaporean.

We often think about healthcare in terms of prescriptions and clinical treatments. Rarely, if ever, does empathy come to mind. But in recent years, growing evidence has shown how critical empathy can be in treatment, for both medical practitioners and patients alike. Knowing, discussing and constantly checking in with a patient about their personal needs and feelings can speed up recovery; or with chronic diagnoses, foster a better quality of life. For emergency medical staff, who have high burnout and suicide rates, it is also vital for them to cultivate empathy for themselves as well as for their colleagues and patients. The onset of COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of empathy across our society, including healthcare workers and the most vulnerable among us. In this episode, we discuss the benefits of centring empathy in the medical world and its larger implications.

How does one distinguish between art and culture? Are the two synonymous, does one serve the other, or is this a false divide? In this episode, Ong Soh Chin and her guests explore these questions in the context of Singapore. At times, art can be boxed within certain cultures and seen as “ethnic art’’. For example, Chinese theatre might be interpreted as something exclusively for the Chinese community, rather than society as a whole. In small, multiracial Singapore, such perceptions can inhibit critical funding, support and engagement. Can art exist for art’s sake or must it have a clearly defined cultural and economic output? With the onset of COVID-19, when art and culture practitioners are struggling to survive, these issues have become more loaded. It is within this context that our guests, Clarissa Oon, Head of Communications and Content at Esplanade, and Shaza Ishak, Managing Director of Teater Ekamatra, discuss the role of art and culture in Singapore, and the importance of sustaining a broader arts ecosystem. Find out more about art and culture in Singapore: The Peak Magazine (2 August 2020).

Her writing on the arts has been published in essay anthologies as well as international publications such as ArtReview and Mekong Review, and she was a keynote speaker at the inaugural Asian Arts Media Roundtable organised by ArtsEquator in 2019. Shaza Ishak Managing Director of Teater Ekamatra Shaza Ishak leads Teater Ekamatra, one of the longest running ethnic minority theatre companies in Singapore.

DISCLAIMER: This podcast contains explicit content. Listener discretion is advised. Sex — and all its accompanying discussions of trust and consent — is often neglected in conversations concerning people with physical and intellectual disabilities. This is especially so in societies where sex is a taboo subject. But people with disabilities need support when it comes to navigating their sexual needs and identities as well as developing healthy romantic and sexual relationships.  From caregivers to educators, advocates to everyday folk, society needs to start removing barriers and stigmas around the sexual health and wellbeing of people with disabilities. Find out more about sex and people with disabilities in Singapore: Channel NewsAsia (15 June 2020): Navigating taboos, parents grapple with sexual stirrings of children with special needs The Straits Times (30 June 2018): Disability and sexuality: Able-bodied ignores sexual desires and need for love TODAY Online (18 October 2016): Sex after a disabling injury? Yes, it’s possible Our Grandfather Story (17 September 2020): Do People with Disabilities Feel Like One Of Us? Tsao Foundation (2 December 2020): Our Health, Our Lives, Our Stories: Webinar on Living with Intellectual Disability in the Community Note: In the episode, Dr Lohsnah talks about an intellectually disabled client who sought sexual gratification in Geylang. She was eventually placed in a residential home for her own safety and has received psychological therapy. She has matured emotionally but will admit, when gently prodded, that she continues to yearn for a romantic relationship because she is lonely.  About our guests: Dr Lohsnah Jeevanandam, Clinical Psychologist Dr Lohsnah Jeevanandam specialises in sexuality management in persons with intellectual disability. She trained at the University of Queensland, Australia and is currently a Senior Lecturer at the National University of Singapore, where she is also the Director of the Clinical Psychology Programme. She is a Senior Consultant Clinical Psychologist with the Cognitive Health Consultancy International clinic, as well as an expert trainer for a range of topics for mainstream and special needs educators. Dr Jeevanandam previously worked at The Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore and is strongly passionate about the advocacy for persons with intellectual disability. Dr Justin Lee, Senior Research Fellow at IPS’ Society and Culture Department Dr Justin Lee specialises in issues related to disadvantaged populations in Singapore. Some of his research includes the social inclusion of people with disabilities, proper end-of-life planning for vulnerable seniors and the re-integration of ex-offenders. He is also interested in the non-profit sector at large, and has been paying keen attention to the role and strengths of new and untapped resources like game designers, community artists and other social innovators. Aside from his work at IPS, Dr Justin Lee is also Chairman of ArtsWok Collaborative, a non-profit organisation, which seeks to connect communities by harnessing the power of the arts to create dialogue, invite social participation and build bridges across difference.

The media landscape is changing, offering diverse points of view and satisfying increasing demands for varied opinions and information. However, there are concerns that this diversity could lead to polarisation. Digitalisation has democratised and sped up access to news. With so much information at our fingertips, bite-sized, snackable content is often preferred over detailed, time-consuming features. News aggregators and social media algorithms also play into consumer preferences, creating echo chambers – narrowing rather than expanding the breadth of content available to consumers. What role and responsibility does the media have in maintaining a well-informed citizenry and encouraging open public discourse?

A die-hard print magazine junkie, Mark fell in love with publishing at the age of 12 after chancing upon an old copy of MAD magazine.   Dr Chew Han Ei, Senior Research Fellow at IPS Social Lab Dr Chew Han Ei is a quantitative research specialist with a keen interest in social issues and technology adoption in societies. Some of his key international projects with UNESCO, where he is concurrently a research consultant, include “Reading in the Mobile Era” and “I’d blush if I could – Closing Gender Divides in Digital Skills through Education”.
