Singapore is a dense city, yet many of us barely interact with our neighbours. Is it just our culture, or has our urban design made connection harder? In this video, we explore whether our environment is quietly shaping how we connect (or don’t) with the people around us. From void decks to sky gardens, slab blocks to point blocks, we look at how HDBs and shared spaces influence the way we live, gather, and interact. ══ Content ══ 0:00 Can housing make us feel lonely? 00:40 How did Singapore’s public housing evolve over time? 00:55 Why are buildings differently shaped? 01:34 Do corridors affect how we connect? 02:31 What happened to our void decks? 03:30 Complaints about newer HDB estates 04:26 How to battle loneliness 05:49 Is our fast-paced lifestyle the problem? 06:50 Does the kampung spirit still exist? 08:16 What I learned SUBSCRIBE TO US: https://bit.ly/OGSYouTube Join our channel's YouTube Memberships and support OGS' videos: https://bit.ly/OGSytmem Find #OGS everywhere!

As Singapore’s first professional stunt driver and founder of Singapore Stunt Driving, he’s spent nearly two decades drifting, choreographing crashes, and training others behind the wheel.

Have you seen these devices whizzing past you lately? Personal Mobility Aids (PMAs) are in the spotlight as Singaporeans await tighter regulations next year. Why are people increasingly seen zipping around on these devices? How accessible are illegal PMAs, and who’s enforcing the rules? In this episode of Talking Point, Steven Chia zooms into the misuse of PMAs and who these people are, while uncovering the risks posed by speeding PMAs through a speed experiment. Steven also breaks down the confusion between PMAs, PMDs, and PABs, and meets an occupational therapist to find out how one could possibly qualify for a PMA next year. Finally, he sits down with a member of the Active Mobility Advisory Panel to ask the big question: Should able-bodied people be allowed to use PMAs if they do so responsibly?

Four years ago, Ms Almanda Haley Teo and Mr Brayden Lim only had a small room in a three-bedroom apartment as their workspace. Today, they work in a two-storey studio that covers more than twice the size of their previous “home studio”. The founders of food styling and photography company Alinea Collective have styled and shot for famous brands such as Singapore Airlines, Pizza Hut and Din Tai Fung. In Alinea Collective, Ms Teo styles the food while Mr Lim takes the photos. The ambitious duo do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach and are constantly pushing creative boundaries with every project they take on. Find out how the 26-year-olds put together their eye-catching and mouth-watering shots in this video.
