ABOUT THIS EPISODE
One of the biggest topics covered in Parliament this week was the planned clearing of Maju Forest and Gillman Barracks to make way for future BTOs. While many Singaporeans were disappointed after months of campaigning to save these sites, others argue that more housing is urgently needed. But with Singapore’s declining birth rate, who exactly are these homes being built for? That question sparks a heated debate between Darren and Rahman, with the conversation expanding into immigration, foreign talent, and whether younger Singaporeans are even interested in the traditional rat race anymore. Are we building for today’s Singapore or tomorrow’s?
