Episode 566: #561 - More Parental Leave Leads to Gender Discrimination at Work? & Can You “Chope” Queue Positions? - Yah Lah But

With Haresh finally back from his well-deserved babymoon in Bali, we resume our regular format! We address the big announcement from last week’s National Day Rally: the extra 10 weeks of Government-paid parental leave that can be shared between new parents. How are business federations and SMEs reacting to the announcement? Counterintuitively, will it lead to more gender discrimination at work? Also, we discuss a recent incident in Bishan where a community event queue was hijacked by people who tried to use pebbles and plastic bags to hold their place in line. In the same vein as the very Singaporean act of “choping”, is this acceptable social behaviour?
