2018/08/11

On this most auspicious of weekends, we bring you the final word on the Ben Davis situation! Returning guest Saiful not only shares his football expertise, but also his thoughts on Ben Davis' deferment rejection and the implication that brings. Since Davis probably does not have any uncles or cousin to teach him how to deal with the bureaucrats in our army, he should totally listen to 4 random strangers with his interest at heart!

Ep 26 What happens to your HDB after 99 years?

LongKangKitties Podcast ·

2018/07/13

The answer to the question, we don't know! Problem is, does the government know?! Do the people know, or care? This week we excavate the foundations of the HDB, uncovering the fatal flaws in its construction and design. We discuss how a 99 year lease combined with SERS that only benefits 4% of the population spells disaster, potential solutions to the problem, and if drinking beer really does really make one of our host, queer!

Ep 25 Is public education a waste of time and money?

LongKangKitties Podcast ·

2018/06/23

If you ever wanted to commit political career suicide, just simply say we should cut funding to education, but fortunately here at the LongKang we have no such consideration! Based broadly on the book "The case against Education" written by Bryan Caplan, we discuss the prevailing schools of thoughts surrounding the issue. Are schools focusing on signalling or building human capital? What subjects would you add to the current curriculum? And finally, would you take up on Dan's pain spike

Free money for everyone! Universal basic income is a very real possibility in the future, so what do we really think of it? In this episode, we got special guest Danny from the Economical Rice Podcast to discuss UBI, because you know, we occasionally have someone who knows what they're talking about. This week we talk about the ups and downs of such a system, alternate solutions, and finally, in which situation will Danny strap himself to a rocket and launch himself into the Sun (hint: its in the

Don't let the image fool you! We're deep into the tunnels of SMRT this week, letting our feelings about new CEO Neo Kian Hong gently come into contact with each other. While most of the kitties weren't impress, JonCat does his best to defend the incoming leader. What does a CEO do anyway? What characteristics do CEOs across the world share? And finally, has DanCat the good citizen joined a secret society? Find out more this week in the LongKang!

We're back at it again! This week we try to figure out why Jon is raging so hard he's picking fights with sociologist and the co-host. Jerry gets put on the spot when his usual yes/no answer satisfies not even Dan, and how will social media put the brakes on fake news in the future (pro-tip, its not by hiring poor and starving kids).

Are you all ready for Deliberate online Falsehoods again? Thats just a $12 word for fake news by the way, used by high SES folks. For the rest of us, we're getting bamboozled again by Dan's incredible proclamations. Jon discusses the various theories of "truth" and why its so irritating to talk about fake news in this day and age. And finally, the real meat of the matter, the Select Committee, who are they, why are they here, why is that guy's bald forehead so shiny it shadows our future?

2018/03/09

As a rough continuation of last week's sexual harassment discussion, we scurry down the tangential road of How much Nudity is too much Nudity? Can female students simply wear whatever skimpy outfit they want in class? How far can you walk away from the beach in a swimming costume before it gets weird? What kind of fetish do the Kitties have in their LongKang of depravity? And finally, how Jerry designed the perfect hell for Singaporeans!

Happy Lunar New Year! Though it is a Dog year, the Kitties at the LongKang will still sharpen our claws upon the fabrics of politics and current affairs! In this episode, we dissect the recent explosion of sexual harassment allegations and the politics of it. Why are some women believed and others are not? Can we separate the sexual predator from their works? Is the casting couch a moral problem in Singapore? How did Anna Farris trigger Jon? How do I win a copy of "The Phantom of Oxley Castle"

Bigot! Racist! Sexist! Those are the things that come to mind when you say you discriminate. However, it is possible to that discrimination does not have the heavy negative connotation that it currently has in this day and age? In this episode, with special guest Danny from Economical Rice Podcast, we look various examples of discrimination, can a woman ask for a female gynaecologist after a male one has been assigned to her, can a bakery operated by gay guys not serve a Christian wedding cake,

In this episode, we discuss the pitfalls of news and media companies, their unending juggler's act of giving us the "truth" and turning a profit. Guest kitty Lydia Shah, whose insight into how such companies are run (being a producer and director herself!) will shed light on the precise nature of this proposition.

Sex dolls in the shape of children, how do we deal with it? From a legal standpoint, it seems straightforward, from a cultural and ethical one, that is where all hell breaks loose in the longkang this week! We discuss similar topics including paedophiles, sexual deviancy and what society will look like down the slippery slope. The future is already here, whats left is for the rest of us to catch

2017/08/21

Should the government fund the arts? With Sonny Liew winning several Eisner awards, the national conversation once again veered towards the pulling of funding for his book (which ironically can be argued made the book a raging success) and whether or not the government should fund the arts locally. This week the Kitties gushes about Sonny's award-winning book, The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye and how awesome it is, but also take some time to level some criticism at Calvin Cheng, the main
