You Are The Guest Podcast

This is a rare interview with an enlisted man in the Singapore military by the name of Malcolm. It is rare because the Singapore Government can sue a citizen for speaking out against them (as explained in this interview) and for that reason many do not share their opinions openly, especially with outside media. But in our interview, Malcolm shares his views on the Singapore Government, gives his opinions on recent events including the execution of an Australian citizen, and explains how and why the Singapore Government controls the media. Malcolm asks me about Black Friday shopping, about the military draft in the United States, how are U.S. relations with Mexico and Canada, and if Americans see themselves as the "gangsters of the world".
