#572 - Iswaran Apologises, Begins Jail Term & Taoism-themed Labubu Dolls?

It seems we’re not done talking about former Transport Minister Iswaran yet! Just before entering prison, he announced he will not be appealing his one-year sentence. We examine his statement and try to read between the lines. Why the change of tone? How will Singaporeans view him now? Separately, the craze over Labubu dolls here has finally spread to… Taoism?? We discuss if their use in a recent Taoist ceremony has crossed a line.
