Former Transport Minister S Iswaran has been moved to home detention just four months into his 12-month jail term, sparking a wave of online backlash. How does the Home Detention Scheme actually work, and is this standard procedure or VIP treatment? Meanwhile, Coldplay’s new music video, filmed entirely in Singapore, is making waves, featuring everything from Marina Bay Sands to MacPherson HDB blocks. Is this a genuine tribute, slick Singapore Tourism Board production, or the new SG60 NDP song?
