Rishi Budhrani joins us to explore why DPM Gan Kim Yong rubbed netizens the wrong way when he told S'poreans to use fans instead of aircon as a way to deal with rising costs due to the Middle East war. Elsewhere, Singapore's Art Book Fair tried to make emerging artists pay $150 to walk around like hotdog vendors, but ended up cancelling the idea.
