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?

For refugees in Malaysia, like Razieh, many find themselves in a legally grey area where they are unable to work or access public education. Their financial woes, on top of uncertainty over their resettlement, lead to anxiety and stress, which can take a toll on their mental health. Social enterprise Talenpac supported Razieh and other refugees through their micro-entrepreneurship programmes to empower them by equipping them with skills and grants to build their businesses.

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.
