With the start of the long awaited AFF Suzuki Cup, many local Singaporean football fans wonder if Team Singapore is able to catch up with the competition.

Local players and teams have always been the underdog, even when it comes to local football fans; but is there good reason for this? Or have local football fans actually been focusing on the wrong things all this while?

This video was filmed in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic, with the help of Football Association of Singapore in lieu of the World Cup Qualifiers.

Most SIngaporeans would be familiar with the 'rules' during the 7th Month; stepping on 'hell money' and kicking over offerings is a big no. But one of our audiences JY decided to carry on with his day when he made that mistake.

Halloween isn't as scary as the 7th month. But do the same rules actually still apply even when it isn't the ghost month?

Most expectant parents in today's modern world, would opt to terminate a pregnancy if their child was diagnosed with a condition such as Trisomy 18; a condition that traditionally, is deemed as "incompatible with life."

Trisomy 18 occurs in 1 in every 5,000 live births; with a relatively low survival statistic, so it is completely understandable why most parents would not want to birth a child under those circumstances.

But what happens when a parent chooses to face their worst fears and give the pregnancy a chance instead? Is it out of selfishness? Or love?

This is the story of one mother and the fight to keep her daughter alive.

Ever had a child talking to 'imaginary friends'?

Amanda was only a child when she lived with her grandparents at Hougang Ave 6. Her grandparents noticed her strange behaviour; their worst fears came true when Amanda began to talk with unseen forces around their HDB flat.

To young Amanda, these spirits just looked like ordinary people.

Have you seen anything with your third eye lately? Perhaps you didn't even know it.

Car enthusiasts already get a bad rep by the general public; but what happens when it comes to a car enthusiast of a minority group?

Turns out, Fairi, who happens to be a car enthusiast of Malay heritage, has experienced prejudice on many different levels.

We are one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world; from construction workers, to some of our top olympic atheletes; Singapore is a population of varying nationalities and ethnicities.

But despite our cosmopolitan history, recent events have led to a culmination of a "local" versus "foreign" debate.

What actually defines "us"? Why is there such a disparity in how foreigners and locals perceive our country? How do we move on from here?

2020 and 2021 have been nothing short of eventful years; and as many of us struggle to adapt to a changing landscape that involves more work, less holidays, and bad news on a daily basis, how many of us have actually taken the time to stop and take stock at our own mental health?

In light of recent events; perhaps it is finally time for you to pause work, before work pauses you.

As the country goes back into another 'heightened alert' phase, more hawkers and F&B businesses find themselves on their last legs.

We filmed and launched this video in June; but it is more relevant than ever in lieu of the most recent news.

It is no mystery that Singaporean hawker culture is dying, and a new generation of hard working and driven hawkers is needed to keep what is now a UNESCO heritage alive for the foreseeable future.

But will what some deem as the 'strawberry generation' be able to weather the struggle that is making a living as a hawker in Singapore?

While many Singaporeans debate the salaries and job listings for SG Clean Ambassadors, many elderly cleaners up to their late 80s have been struggling with low wages, sometimes earning $1000 or less in a month, for 6 days of work a week.

Recent announcements in raising of wages come as good news; but are they enough and is it too little too late?
