The One Corner: Recent Episodes
Kevin Monteiro
Join us in the fight against the seemingly eternal bourgeoisie as we navigate social issues, current events and life in Singapore. Basically come lepak one corner with us wont you?
With the recent parliamentary debates surrounding the EIP and sexuality education for young kids, we discuss if abolishing the EIP would be creating racial enclaves and whether teaching young kids about sex is beneficial. Oh and Rachel is back again. Nice.
This episode, we welcome our very first female guest on the podcast, Rachel! As she helps us tackle a very intimate and sensitive topic, the sexualisation of women
Not only are we back, so is racism on the streets it seems! Racist uncles, gong lady, out-of-touch ex-MPs, we got it all. Just remember, There Is No Racism In Singapore.
This week, Gavin Goh, a Counsellor and Berch's good friend joins us as we take a serious look into how Mental Health is treated in Singapore and the challenges we still face. We also discuss issues that youths face when it comes to mental health.

In Episode 22 of the pod, we take a look at some of the recent events in Singapore such as the drama surrounding Natalie Siow & her charges, her Instagram and we also pay tribute to a fallen flower cart service that got "randomly" ordered to cease their services...and for some reason, bananas were mentioned. a lot...
Episode 21 is finally here! In this week's recent case of internet rage comes a Tiktok video of a young boy slapping his mother. We take a look into the occurrence and then discussed the issues surrounding social media, along with the dangers it presents.
In any relationship, good or bad, 8 months is usually a fun time to revisit stupid things mentioned over that time period. We're not "together" together, but for this episode we decided to take turns in the hotseat with permission granted from each other to bring up some of the worst comments, takes and highlights over the past 19 episodes. Nothing political/argumentative/deep, relax and enjoy this special edition episode!
Here to drop more truth bombs, we discuss jobs and passion in Singapore. Also we ponder about missing nuclear bombs around the world.
As the famous Preetipls once said "Rich people always out here f**king it up" or something along those lines. We discuss the infamous Parti Liyani case that has us all wondering, whats up with rich people being dicks?
Uncovered amongst the dust and rubble of a new political world in SG, lies the failure of an episode unreleased by the boys. Actually we just didn't wanna go to jail so we didn't upload this on cooling-off day but here it is!
That was quite the parliament debate we just had to kickstart September, huh? Now if you’re thinking wait…what debate? Then well look no further! The 3 amigos give you a brief rundown of what happened bouncing back from an academy award winning performance to talking about how opposition is necessary to checking how much it “costs” for.....a…free ride……. oh and, ya, you should DEFINITELY look further (online/articles/blogs etc) if you wanna know what else went down during this debate because it was SPICY
As more and more influencers get caught up in scandal after scandal, we discuss the public's response to them as well as a power imbalance between 'fans' and 'influencers'. Also RIP Chun Yan my baby boi.
With life comes death. But who gets to decide who lives and who doesn't? And if society doesn't see eye to eye on that question, then should death be issued? Today, we discuss the death penalty.
We pledge ourselves as One United People, forever hailing our roti prata, chicken rice and eh, salah, wrong pledge. Come paint the colour red and white together with us in this special episode as we dive into our nostalgic past recognising how far we have come, and asking ourselves, Is this still a place we can call Home...truly?
sometimes we see certain violent scenes/acts/sequences take place all over the media but then we rarely see, as often, sexual ones. is it simply too "taboo" for mainstream media, even if violence sometimes can be argued to be much more worse? that's what we try to debunk in this episode. warid also has a conspiracy theory to share towards the end.
Twas a hot and steamy night as 4 dudes talk about Sex Ed in Singapore and the possible repercussions we've seen. Also Chun Yan gives a detailed process into 'SEX'. Oooo mama.
We're back in the corner! Well its not much but its there. We scramble our heads to recall the past month as we talk about the crazy which was GE2020 and the results. Also, Warid tells a story about a plane crash and people eating each other. Yup we went there.

Once again, Twitter has gifted us with more content, this time the assassination of the infamous Sharon Liew (LMAOO unlike Kim Jong Un, this account isnt coming back anytime soon); so, we decided to raise it up and explore how political satire in the country has seen different results from different attempts. will this be considered political satire? we hope not, we don't want to end up in changi pls
With the recent fresh surfacing of the ateeqah mazlan saga and the phrasing of a certain news headline causing some rift amongst netizens, it felt like an appropriate and timely opportunity to remind everyone to simply Tell. The. Truth. Because doing otherwise always ends up with people getting hurt, like how I am currently crying over my last remaining packs of mcdonalds garlic chilli....
We've entered extreme CB and it seems like everyone's losing it, Warid definitely has. We talk about updates to the Circuit Breaker and have a discussion as to how we've been treating migrant workers. Also, I found out that drinking alcohol is a good defence against Covid..wait no GIVE IT BACK IM NOT AN ALCOHOLIC I SWEAR IM IMMUNE TO IT.
In this episode we decided to share some shows and movies we've been watching cos we're all stuck at home with nothing else to do. We also talk about some dude named Theodore Adorno and the 'Culture Industry'. Is it just me or am I starting to gravitate an inch off the ground...WOAH I CAN'T GET BACK DOWN, CABINET HELP ME
Stuck at home, the lads crack their heads together (online, of course) and figure out whether or not Singapore is ready to adopt a Universal Basic Income (or UBI) policy. We also talked about happiness. But it wasn't a happy discussion. Anyone know how much longer we need to stay inside? My shoes have moved on and started a loving relationship with the cabinet. I need help.
