The Calling It Out Show takes on Melvyn Singh’s nonsensical article
The Calling it Out show is TOC(TV)’s premier broadcast programme, kicking off the channel and a slew of independent local programming.
The show was started to combat the growing issue of extreme apathy for current affairs among Singapore’s youth.
It tries to look at the lighter side of current affairs, and shows that differences in opinions and agreeing to disagree can be a fun mental exercise.
The programme is hosted by Sean Francis and Ben Matchap – and this week they take on the nonsensical writings of one Melvyn Singh of The New Paper “fame”.
