Note:
If you or anyone you know require support to quit vaping, you can contact the Health Promotion Board's Quitline at 1800-438-2000. You can safely dispose e-vaporisers in the various red amnesty bins island-wide.
If you're an NUS student, the University Counselling Service (UCS) offers counselling and addiction support services for those who need help to quit vaping.
Remember: You wouldn't be penalised if you seek help; ditch the vape before the law catches up to you.

What better way to commemorate this with our longest episode of the semester. Recently, Singapore's Changi Airport was awarded the title of Best Airport in the world by Skytrax for the 13th time ever. We go around talking about Changi's closest competitors (Doha Hamad and Tokyo Haneda) and what Changi does best. And toilets (that's all we'll say, listen in to find out).During the break, as the semester comes to a close, graduation season is slowly upon us. Joy shares about her student life/journey as she graduates after four years in NUS. After the break, we pivot from discussing current affairs to a rather lighthearted and reflective chat. We delve into the work behind our podcast and why talk about current affairs. Finally, we look back at each of our journeys in this show, Radio Pulze and life in general. Et voila, c'est tout (for this semester)! Thank you for listening; no matter whether you've listened to the current affairs show from last semester or whether you've recently jumped on the series. It was fun doing the show with a whopping 8 episodes and that's still unbelievable to us. We shall (hopefully) see you next semester!

We discuss the impacts and possible reasons for the surge, including La Nina. Dust off your geography books as we talk about the bigger picture of climate change, with a focus on human (anthropogenic) causes. 2024 also marked a monumental point in the fight against climate change. To end of, we exchange our hopes for future climate action while sharing current adaptation measures we see in daily life. We do so with references to our experiences and lessons from pre-university and at NUS (mainly HSI1000: How Science Works, Why Science Works and CDE2501: Liveable cities). During the break, we delve into more lighthearted news on Singapore being the second happiest country (#34 globally) in Asia. We share what makes us happy living here.
