- We usually talk about the news, but did not expect to BE the news, which is what happened this week! Our Yah Lah BUT episode with Leong Mun Wai was referenced during this week’s parliamentary sitting by the Speaker of Parliament, Seah Kian Peng. What exactly was Mr Leong’s “act of contempt” on our podcast, and what did we think of the entire fiasco? Elsewhere, the “Friends of the PAP” group of influencers who were unveiled at a PAP event have come under scrutiny. Is there anything inherently wrong with being a buddy to politicians?

Congratulation to YLB, you've been elevated to be part of Singapore's alternative media. Recognizable and identifiable. Be the CNN to Republicans. Be the Fox News to Democrats. Good job.
you mean contrarian
Must thanks Speaker
Okok get off your high horse ahh Haresh & Terence! HAHA just kidding, have been a subscriber for quite sometime, loved both your contents and active postings in the podcast space. Both of you have been very neutral and nuanced, IMO, about topics/news.
I guess Yah Lah BUT is gaining/have been gaining some of the "recognition" y'all deserve.. Kudos!!
Awesome! Thank you!🙏
Can a politician's image be tarnished with repeated attacks giving the more naive or less discerning a bad impression of said politician in the same effect as the Chee?
Here bcos of the parliament mention
I think Friends of PAP terminology is being used thanks to the success of NParks Friends of Parks program (which Mr. Desmond Lee is very active in). Hence PAP is hoping to replicate that?
This is hilarious but yet serious leh! Don't pray pray! Yah Lah BUT is mentioned for many minutes in Parliament!! I listened to Speaker attentively!!!! :)
Haresh, your question set Leong Mun Wai up lah!!! You said:" I mean, at least for [the debates] that we were there, whenever the Speaker says, okay, any questions, you're one of the first to put your hands up." This leading question set LMW up lah!! You are the man!! And at the same time responsible!!! Hahahaha!!!
Saboteur
@@YahLahBut anyway, now both of you will forever be registered in parliamentary Hansard! Steady lah BUT! SLB instead of YLB!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Maybe, one day when there are more opposition MPs in Parliament, the role of Parliament speaker can be rotated between the PAP and opposition MPs.
We only need A.I Speaker so that the question of biasness need not arise due to political affiliations. This is the parliamentary role that deserves to be replaced by A.I
In UK, they have a system of Knighting people who achieved greatness. All in the family
SKP is the epitome of a wet blanket. He could have given his perspective in a light hearted manner but instead chose to go down the route of pontificating and delivering a monologue which did not interest anyone at all in Parliament.
We were interested in
Was he told to say what he said by someone or is he his own master?
leong sometimes says things that are not true specifically to an incident but reflects things pap has done in the past. that leong says things at the minimum makes pap more wary about abusing its majority position in the house
Parliament promoting YA LAH BUT free around the world ...why not ? Thanks them ...
Haresh is PAP "undercover" to sabotage Leong Mun Wai :)
Channel reeks of a PAP front
@@Hs5687 I was joking
Watched the parliament proceedings. 🤣 Alamakkkkkk...such a LONG lecture. There are wars being fought in many other countries right now... to brood over just a few words - that's so "not on". But one good thing came out of it - free publicity for Haresh and Terence, so now evryone can get to enjoy this quirky podcast!
If the Speaker is non partisan to begin with, then such interpretation / intention would not have risen and wasted precious Parliamentary time
Oh Pls, if he did apologise, the headlines would declare "Leong Mun Wai apologises for casting aspersions on speaker's impartiality"
Fair point
I have a question for Terrence and Haresh. If PAP were to reach out to you to "employ" you to be their influencer. Will you accept ?
U mean Friends with benefits?
Funding with what money?
@@YahLahBut I mean exactly what they are doing with the other influencer. Invite you to their dinner.
@@LonganLee ??
@@manyue2003 is there no need money to run Friends of the p? Given a real super majority, still need this?🤭🫣
I thought I saw some of these "friends" who are not singaporeans, is being a citizen a pre-requisite to being a friend? what happens to non-inteference by foreigners in singapore politics? also how much are these "friends" who are influencers paid by the govt, shouldn't this be disclosed? it's paying for influence
Is an Influencer so-called because they can be sponsored by people? In this sense, they can be Influenced by sponsors?
Is the speaker unhappy because he was maligned or because he was publicly called out by LMW?
If tax money were to be used for sponsoring youtubers or channels, then this must ve made transparent and must never be partisan or pro one party because last counted, there were about 40% voters or tax payers against
Next time YA LA BUT team would be invited to sit on PAP side in parliament.
Is simon boy just doing it for the fame thus money? At all cost?
Seah kian peng, si bei seah suay! So petty , go home and wear skirt . My vote for next GE will definitely go to any opposition.
Making fool of himsilf...acts like primary school kids
I mean the speaker
How about "PROTAGONISTS PAP"?
Coincidentally, Tan Kin Lian also made himself look bad on this channel
Is Dairy Tomato Sauce and Murdership also Friends of the? Prosperity?
There is a huge (perhaps) in supporting govt policies and initiatives versus political party policies.
One is in the interests in the People’s wellbeing and the other in the interest of the party staying in power. (Friends of PAP)
Good pount
*point
Just to add, being friends to the party means you are involve in the party politics. Supporting the govt ie "Apolitical" means not interested or involved in politics. An apolitical position eg govt vendors such as contractors, service providers and, in this case influencers do not take sides on political issues or engage in political debates.
Congratulations for your admission of sabotaging LMW.
Is OBS Friend of the pxp?
Can friends receive gifts from close friends and be involved in deals?
I no no leh.
Partnering with Media Corpse!!??? Alamak
Give it a try
Haha well done more will tune in your Pod Cast. For sure our dear Mr Leong in deeper shit. Hope he not get Pofma like our dear Mr Chee on his comment re...the 3 Angels soon to be charged in court.
it's called the Mace of Impartiality
Thought you were serious there for a moment…
One word.
Petty
F.O.P is funded using what money?
Well, as a great interviewer, one should ask more from LMW or even other guests whether is there truth or just a joke. If it's the truth, you hv more content.
For this instance, you chose to move on and make it ambiguous, the speaker will be seen as biased.
Every politicians be it incumbent or opposition will always want to be looked as impartial.
Is XiaXue a divorcee or about to be , with her American guy? Or still FRIENDS?👀
Due respect has to be given to Parliament and its proceedings; it was good for Mr Leong to apologise.
The end .
Not only is YLB written into the history book, GY also made history for eternity
LOHSO
It’s not your fault. It’s not his first time to say something not correct. Leong is always asked to retract his statement. You may say PAP wants to fix him but why PAP seldom ask WP to retract statement, only to a few who frequently likes to make false statements. 😅 e.g Leon
As mentioned, Jamus was also on YLB before
@@YahLahButSome call it team B???
