[Squeak] Didn't catch us on the morning drive? He is what you miss. Hey, good morning to you and welcome to the morning drive! It's the video in Kyle here on 1FM111.3. Happy, happy Tuesday is extremely happy for me because today my kids go back to school. Happy you. Good morning, Lavy. Morning! You have had a lot of sleep, haven't you? I need sleep. If they could put sleep in a bottle, I'd buy it by the crits. That's what I always say. I need sleep in a bottle, baby. It's a very bad rendition about the scenic Aguilara song. It's nice to be here on a beautiful morning on a Tuesday. Yes, I had a fantastic drive just coming in. Being thankful for life. And then I got here and the most uncanny thing happened. You stopped being thankful for the pantry. Oh, okay. And this really senior lady came in. Oh, all choppy. Hello, good morning. Hey! I haven't seen you before. And I'm like, "Oh, hi, it's Kai." "Oh, you ready to DJ? I wish they should." I said, "Oh, 1FM, not even one book." "Oh, hi. I'm Claire." And I'm like, "Hello, Claire." "Oh, okay." And we just had a little conversation and she was so positive. Oh, great. And I think Singaporeans need to be like that. Yes, especially the morning, eh? In the mornings when I walk my daughter to school, everyone looks pissed off. Everyone looks irritated. And you're in a good mood, you're carrying a child. Oh, hello, good morning, good morning. People are like, "Oh, sure." Really? But if I see like, eating your daughter is so cute. If I see your baby girl, I'll be like, "Hey, hi." You definitely have. But you see my face and you think this guy is weird? Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, I wouldn't. I'd be like, "Oh, hey, hi." Yeah. Right. My name's Claire. Hello, Claire. But let's kick things off with today's pun of the day. Ooh. Where do lizards go after their tails fall off? Uh, plastic surgeon. The retail store. Oh. It is World Tuba Closes Day. Wow. And if you feel that, "Hey, TV, nah, not for me." We should, we should, we should, we should, we should. I don't think it's for anyone. We should give ourselves a pat on the left hand. Okay, left hand. Because all of us have that little mark. Yeah. It reminds us that we have been vaccinated. This is not only in Singapore, right? I think it's around the world. It's around the world. Yeah. Yeah, right? It's sunny, flexing your arm and all that. No, no, no, no. Yeah. That's a mole. No, I forgot to know about my Martin. It's just here. Yeah. It's literally right there. Yeah. Some people get it like, like, like, "How's yours?" It's yours nice, like a nice mole arm. Mine is invisible, like, you know, see? Oh, you got it. I got quite see. It's there. Yeah. 'Cause if your arm tattooed. It's there. It has, uh, fatisys in, uh, 460 BC fatisys. I quite like this other name. This is, like, yeah, it's small. My friend, my friend, he got fatisys. Yeah, right? It's like a little bit more special. Yeah. Rather than tuberculosis. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, uh, BCG. Why is it change? Oh. Why the change? No, but no, but let's go with fatisys. Fatisys. In 1834, a physician named Johan Lucas Schroding introduced them. Uh, introduced the name tuberculosis. How dare he change that fantastic name to this? Maybe he thought it was easier to pronounce, but I like fatisys. Yeah, fatisys, yeah. Yeah. And the first human use of the BCG, um, was in 1921. Wow. Yeah. So it dates back a long, long time. My goodness. I didn't realize it was that established. Mm. This vaccine. The last time in the old days, they used to administer it on, uh, on the bum. Um, I do believe I have a BCG mark on my bum because I think when you're, yeah, when you're born, you are, you do get one on your bum. And then like, I remember some of my friends actually didn't do it in the school lineup. Oh, yeah, that was funny. They would go outside and then they would get theirs on their bum because they didn't want the mark on their arm. Oh. Yeah, yeah. It was a tricycce. There was a tricycce. You can. Oh, I had no idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember people are scaring us and, oh, it's last time they are. They put the needle through the candle. Oh, really? Yeah. I've heard stories. All I know is that I was pushed out and I ended up being the first one in my class to get it. To get it. Yeah. Wow. Did you cry? No. Or did you walk up? It wasn't as bad, right? It just was what it was. It wasn't that bad. It's just a jab. Mm. Yeah. So in any case, just, uh, be thankful that it's World 2 Buckelysis Day. Um, and that we are vaccinated. And, uh, if you haven't got for yourself, vaccinated, go get yourselves a jab. How dare you? Yeah, you better go do it. Something interesting from the papers. Um, and it's got to do with cars. Oh. Um, here's something that I actually enjoy when I sit in a car and let me know if you do it as well. You look at the license plate of the cars in front of you or around you and you go, oh, this one vintage car. Oh, this one weekend car. What color weekend car? The plate. Uh, like easy. Uh, hello. It's red. Okay. Uh, or you see a, a car and you go, oh, this one is from KL. Wow, that's a long drive, right? Singapore might soon give electric cars their own uniform. Did you know this? Wow. No. So the LTA and the Singapore Civil Defense Force are getting feedback just for now. From car owners, dealers and workshops to essentially have EVs to get a green license plate. Wow. Yeah. So when you're out and about, you may potentially see a green license plate and that will tell you that it's an EV and it's, it's all for safety because EVs behave differently in accidents and in fires they, they can burn hotter. Okay. So it's for first responders to know that, oh, okay, this is an EV and they will know how to react to it. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So you know, in the discussion stages, they're doing the research now, they're doing the research now and if enough people say yes to this, then potentially this may be something that we see on the road. So that's actually really cool. Yeah. It's like a mint green. Think about it. Mint green. Mint green. I don't know about the designer. I'm not so sure about the colour tone, eh? Yeah. Yeah. I thought that the typical license plate would be a green border makes sense but. Yeah. That's sort of like a full green. Yeah. I don't know about that. Yeah, the shade would matter, wouldn't it? Yeah. Yeah, why not blue? Oh, so many questions. But then it's water, that's a hydro car. That's it. Not electric car, right? Wake up and win! We've got 150 dollars worth of vouchers from now, Pizza House Singaporean are you? Okay. Can you tell me the world record that the Helix Bridge in Singapore holds? Hold up. So Marina Bay sends that bridge that links to Jubilee Park, the where the youth Olympics thing happened. Yes. That bridge. Yeah. Very, come on. You can't miss it, right? It's got such an interesting sort of like architectural design. That bridge has a world record. Yes. Most number of screws. I just want all the screws to be in place. Okay, fair. Most number of planks. I don't know. It has a world record. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very, very obvious and it's a very Google Bo. Google Bo? Google Bo? Google Bo? Okay. Okay. Good morning. Good morning. It's the morning drive with the vineyard car. This is Fauzi. Yeah. Morning. Good morning. Hey, Salamahaliyah. Yes, Salamahaliyah. Yes. Hi. Hey. Hey, alrighty. We want to give you this amazing prize. It's $150 worth of vouchers from now. Pizza. They have seven outlets all across town and they're also halal certified, bro. So you can do more family. Enjoy some good pizza but you just need to prove to Lavigne. How Singaporean are you? So are you ready? The question today is, can you tell me the world record that the Helix Bridge holds? Oh, it's the world largest bank of double bridge. Yes, absolutely correct. Congratulations. You are going back with that prize $150 worth of vouchers from now. Wow. Wow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So yes, the Helix Bridge is the world's largest double helix bridge and is also the world's first curved pedestrian bridge. And did you know I haven't seen this yet. I probably didn't look out for it. But next time if you ever are going to walk across the bridge, look out for these secret letters, ACGNT. Okay, hold up. Yeah. I just want to tell you this. I did my proposal in 2019 and Marina Bay Sands. And it was like an amazing race. Okay. It was like an amazing race where my dengofer and became fiancee, became wife had to run all around Marina Bay Sands with different checkpoints. And one of the checkpoints was the Helix Bridge where our parents waited with flowers and say, hey, you know, we've got our blessings go to this guy over there. And when we were getting ready for this, I noticed these alphabets on the floor and I had no idea what they were about. Did you do bio last time like biology? No. Okay. So if you did bio-legituals. F and N students. F. I cooked in school. Oh, really? Kyle, why am I only learning about this now? We're just talking about this now. - When are we gonna get to taste your, you know? - I feel every- - Culinary Pro- (laughing) - Browest, the other, okay. - Okay, so what are one of these supplements? - So ACG and T is actually they represent the DNA, the four DNA bases. So if you do biology, you know, 'cause I did biology back in junior college, yeah. And it's actually eliminated, which is what you saw, red and green in the floor. So because the double helix bridge is actually representation of the DNA structure. Yeah, so that's why you have those secret letters. They're not secret anymore, aren't they? - Well, that's very interesting. - Thanks for sharing, have you? - Yeah, no really. It's, this bridge is pretty amazing. Like, did you know that with the structure itself, it can actually hold 16,000 people at any one time? That's how strong this bridge is. - And it's double helix. - It's steel right, it's steel right. - This is the structure. - Yes, definitely not made out of DNA. - DNA so small, cannot, 16,000. - What? - No. - What? So Singaporean. - Yesterday, we asked you, should you be allowed to bring your water bottle to a coffee shop with the underlying tone that you're gonna place that water bottle at the coffee shop? Maybe take a sip or two, right? - Yeah. - And I hear from Jill and Lavi that for the first time ever in the morning drive history, there is a one-sided fight. - Wow. - All the poll results point towards 100%. - My goodness, this is the first time I would think. Singapore has spoken. - And you should want to find out. - We should be allowed to bring our water bottles to the coffee shop. - You know, I was actually thinking about yesterday's discussion and you know, so about that case, right? Because this is all based on a real life happening like in the coffee shop in Chongpang, right? I was like, "Jazz, do you, "I will just bring an empty water bottle. "I'll fact I'll bring a few." And then I'll just put them on the table, but I'll be like, "No, no, it's just empty." Yeah, it's like, "What are you going to do next, "Shall I bring it?" - And they can't do anything. - Yeah, so I was thinking, - I was just doing that. - It's also a very typical, - lovey thing to do. - No, because I was reading the article, right? And apparently when the diner, like it was told to put away his water bottle, you can't bring it here, right? And then the store owner took out a marker. - Yeah, and then it got scribbled on the thing. - And then it got scribbled, like, you know, on the sign that said, "No outside food or drinks." He actually wrote there, "No water bottle." Which I thought was a really petty move, right? So I feel like I just want to bring a whole, like just boxes of water bottles and just bring them down. - And then there's empty water bottles. - In the spirit of patinas, can you see that was vandalism? - Wow. - I don't know unless he put the sign up there. - Yeah, it is all on his own sign. - Yeah, it is his own sign. - Yeah, but just to win an argument, he wrote there, "No water bottles." I was just like, "What?" - Yeah, so anyone joining me? (laughing) - Today's poll may ruffle a lot of feathers as well. - Oh, okay, go. - We're all about ruffling, yeah? - Question, who needs to chill more on the roads? The drivers or the cyclists? (gasping) - Wow, that's gonna kickstart a lot of things. - Let us know what you think, jump onto our Instagram and vote right away who needs to chill more on the roads. (whistling) It's a wild world. (whistling) - So, this is news coming out from Kenya. Because apparently the thing to be smuggling out of Kenya now, have a guess. - Kenya, not make me do that? (laughing) - Okay, okay. - The thing to smuggle out of Kenya. - Yeah, is it animal related? - It's, yeah, animal related, yeah, it is. - Body parts, like for, no, I don't know. - Ants, huh? - Yeah, ants. - It's ants. - Ants. - So apparently Kenya has, is home to some very rare ants that have been increasingly more attractive to foreign smugglers with the latest case of a Chinese national. He's actually been caught attempting to smuggle out more than 2,000 of these ants. So they're all like bottled up, - Yeah, yeah. - 'Cause little bottles and he's trying to get them out of video. Because apparently these ants are very, very rare. And their love collectors around the world that are very much interested in getting their hands on these ants. So these ants can fetch up the thousands of dollars. Which makes it like this tiny thing is actually so lucrative. - Yeah. - And they smuggle these ants. Like he puts the ants, what, in his ants in your pants? - Well, they didn't really say how he was a, (laughing) I don't know how he was attempting to get these ants out. But it's just crazy. You know what I mean? Like you think like, oh, you've seen it all? No, no, no, ants. - I mean, I understand that the ant keeping as a hobby is even growing in Singapore. There's a shop in Singapore. I can't remember where it can buy little terrarium to terrarium to eat. - Right, right. With ants. But to smuggle ants, I've never, you would, hmm. - And I don't really know. I mean, like, you know, you smuggle out these ants. Correct me if I were right. I don't really know much about ants. But you would need the queen, right? You would need the queen because from there, then you have your colony. Because if you just smuggle out worker ants, they don't really survive. - They just work, they don't know who they're working for. - That's true. Yeah, possibly that, that's confusion, you know? In the role. - Yeah. - Yeah, so I would think, so I don't know these like 2000 over ants that he smuggled out. Whether they are actually like, - No way. - No way. - So what? - But they're rather large. - Those are rather large ants. - Those look like workers. - Yeah. Right? So then what is the point, Rese, if you get it like, maybe hypothetical story, maybe there are people with queens already. - Oh. - But they got employment shortage. So they need more workers. - Oh, so this is what's the feeling of? - This one is fulfilling balancing out. - This is a manpower issue. - Yeah, manpower issue. - Head up headlines. Okay, top of the news, this one comes in from BBC. Did you know that the last 11 years were the Earth's 11 warmers years in record, right? Stretching back to 1850. So since then, they've been documenting like the temperatures. And the last 11 years are the hottest years on record. - The world is just getting hotter. - It is, it is. And that is why the UN has actually issued new climate warning because El Nino is nooming, right? And that's going to further drive up the heat wave. - Yeah. - So this is very, very worrying to a point that even the UN, they've kind of, I think before that, it used to be sort of like the call to sort of move from fossil fuels to renewable energy, right? But they're kind of changing the priority to deliver climate security, energy security, and also national security. So basically, planet of, sadly, everyone, you're still on it, is being pushed beyond its limit. - That's insane. In fact, I just googled this. 2025, and this is on the streets times as well. It was the second or third hottest year on record ever. - Yeah. - Yeah. So it might be said, who knows, 2026? We don't want this kind of breaking of records, but it will be even hotter than, you know, I think 2025, 2024 was even hotter than 2025 because of El Nino. So please do, I think this is something that all of us have to come onboard. I don't know how, but we need to really try. - Yeah. - Yeah. That comes from the BBC. We also have, did you know that in Hong Kong, they've got national security rules, right? So if you are being charged under any of that, they can now demand for your phone or computer passwords from those who are suspected of breaching these national security laws. - Wow. - Wow. So this is something to highlight because if one country sets this is precedence. - Then others might follow it as well. So this is something to look up for. - And you can't even say, oh, I forgot my password because then, okay, reset your password. - Wow. So you're right. So I mean, this law was actually introduced in 2020. You know, there was the pro-democracy protest that took place during that year as it had all these national security laws actually that came as the aftermath of those protests. So now this is a new law. So yeah, something to watch out for. Will Singapore also adopt this? - Hmm. - Never know. So all that is in the news, those come from the BBC. Please do go and check it out. Read all that is happening around the world. (electronic beeping) - What did I have in common? - I don't know. What do they have in common? You tell me. - Why? And that's exactly what you need to do in order to win for yourself $150 worth of dining vouchers from daily. - What do they have in common? - Yes. - Canada, Russia, Finland. Canada, Russia, Finland. - This is that Levinia wants to visit. - That is correct. - That is correct. - I blanjar YouTube pizza then. This is the pizza challenge you just want. - I thought he was gonna say "Blanja is holiday day." - Yeah, I know my heart skipped the pizza. I was like, "Oh, which country would I choose?" - Pizza pizzas are so good, I'll think. - I mean, if it's on the-- - Only if it's from-- - If it's on the production budget. I blanjar you business class. - Ooh, ooh, ooh. - Now it's like, oh. - You can fly sweets. - Oh, it's not his fault anymore. - Will serve you daily from Lenton, modern, you know?

Don't have to be an expert. But those were the sort of challenges that people with disabilities were facing. So it wasn't necessarily like assistive tech, but it was people helping people. And Elter was doing a lot of that, even before the laptop situation sort of elevated it to a whole different ball game, if you want. And this actually takes place every Sunday, right? The MIT Sundays. Can you share everyone what MIT stands for? It's very cool indeed. So it's a reference to the school in USA, but-- No, this one's cooler. Make inclusive tech Sunday sessions. Oh! Oh! So this is the community space that actually birthed all these gadgets that we just shared with everyone on our Facebook Live. Yeah. So for someone who's just tuning in, or to someone who's going to be listening to us on air, if you could in a nutshell describe what exactly does salvage garden do or make? How would you describe it to the layperson? So what we do is we hold space, because the place where we do our thing is our maker space. And Singapore were incredibly fortunate that we have maker spaces in libraries. They call it make IT, make it. And in these spaces, they're just spaces, like a library. You go there and then it doesn't really have a prescription of what you should do once you get there. So we hold space once a week on Sundays for a conversation that surrounds people with disabilities and the caregivers. So we try and bring them to the table and say, look, now, you've got all these cool things. You can try them. But let's talk about what the real issue is. What are you struggling with? And then is there something that maybe we can just download and print and you can try? And that brings out other stories. And then we learn about what they're actually struggling with and might not be solved with something that is like a high tech wheelchair, or a bionic robot, all of that kind of thing. Yeah, sure. We just want a whole space to then have that conversation, understand what the needs are, and then suggest things that might be able to address that or maybe even bring out more nuanced description of what it is. So what we do is basically hold space. And we do this in a maker space so we can actually make things. Wow. And you make them on site? Or is it just, oh, you make them on site? Yeah, we do. Because the 3D printers these days are now much faster than they used to be. But they're not instant. It's not like what you imagine. They're not the science fiction. It's not like you press the button and it just, whoop, it happens. It doesn't work like that. It takes a few hours to print something. But the question we always ask people is managing expectations. When you order something online, what's the fastest before it shows up to your door? At least, I don't know what day it is. Two days, maybe? Yeah. So a few hours, why are we running so fast? Not too bad. Yeah, that's-- wow. That's great. So if you think about it, there's no faster way to get anything made today. Yeah. Who cares about buying stuff online? I just 3D print my stuff. Does it kind of print clothes and stuff? Yes, that's interesting. But this has got a very specific angle. And that's something that's very beautiful because you're helping people. Before we go on air, we've got about three minutes before we go back on air. Maybe we can tell us both. LJ, perhaps. What are your different roles in salvage garden? Obviously he's the key. He is key. It must be the spectacles, right? It's got to be the spectacles. And then I just do the other things that, you know, organize the other things that need to keep the organization going. The general manager. OK, sure. LJ has been very modest. She's the one who sort of holds people together, can mix the dots, connect. And a lot of the solutions that we come up with are super weird for people. And they're like, oh, this is-- I mean, it's a piece of plastic. How is this assistive? I mean, I have a condition that's serious. It's not funny. It's not a joke. And so managing that dynamic, the conversation around it is about making it about practicality and everyday experiences, lived experiences. So if we are seen as experts, then things become a little bit super weird because we're not. We all have day jobs. We all come from different backgrounds. And that's why we do this on Sundays. Right. So if you are interested in helping out, you don't have to be an expert. You can take time out of your weekends. You can come and volunteer with us. And what LJ does is far more than what she's letting on, which is to recognize where the potential is between what somebody's describing and what somebody is working on and see where that conversation would lead. And that's kind of what we try and hold space for all the time. So it's important to recognize that there are others who have similar skills and interests. You don't have to be a tech person. You don't have to be an expert and to be deep-printing or disability. If you're a caregiver, you could be a parent. You could be a teacher. You could be a health care worker. I mean, we really like occupational therapists. We have a couple of OTs that stop by whenever they have Sundays, which is amazing because they give you the real world needs. This is what our patients need, our clients need, and every Thursday we actually work with Liz Piper from Life Weaver. She's an occupational therapist. And it's really interesting to hear all these from her perspective in her role as an OT. And really, like you said, it's nuances. And every case is different. Every person is different. The same gadget may not fit, right? So your OTs, please, MIT Sundays. Is it any library that it takes place? Or like, does a fixed library work happen? Mainly, we are in the Pongo Regional Library. But for a short period of time, we are also in the three other regional libraries, which are Jurong, Lens, and also Tempani. You mentioned that you're working with occupational therapists. And you love it when they come to your Sunday sessions, because they give you real world problems that we need solving with. And one thing that you have done before is 3D print spoons. Talk, tell us about that. Why? How? For what? Spoon holders. Yeah. Spoon holders. OK, OK. So some people may not have the right grip for the spoons. Sure. And maybe it's a bigger grip space and stuff like that. So you can customize how the grip is. So they like to hold it like top or from the bottom, or hook it to the palm and stuff like that, right? So we're actually sharing some photos. Now, you may not be able to see if you're tuning into us live on radio. But please do rewatch. This video is going to be available to you on our Facebook, on our YouTube channel. And it is truly fascinating. We're sharing about those holders, couple of re-holders, if you will, that help in the various cases experienced by those with special needs, right? That need, that kind of help. So there's got one where you fit it over your fingers, your palm as well. That is so cool. Like Al Jourish saying, it's not just about the spoon of the fork. It's about how you use it. And everybody has a slightly different way of doing it. You don't-- I mean, it doesn't have to be a disability or a medical condition. You just use it differently. And so the assistive devices that we find in the marketplace, these days, they tend to be super complicated. It'll work for any disability, got this condition, that condition, one. But what we have here is something that you can just 3D print. And it looks like C-shaped sort of thing that sort of clamps onto your hand. It caps onto the hand, we like this a cap. It caps onto the hand. That is how we know you are very Singaporean. Welcome. We do a lot of-- We do a lot of cap technology. Cap technology. That needs to be in your brand, guys. Yeah. Yeah. Selfage garden, we help you. But this is so points out to a thing whereby these individuals, they're looking for a solution. There's a cessable and also it's actually a lot more simple than what is available in the marketplace. And I'm sure it's a fraction of the cost as well. Exactly. And if you understand that the thing that's struggled that you have is on how to hold a spoon, you don't have to go and talk to somebody who is like a medical expert. And then you have to get like insurance involved in that conversation balloons into like this high tech thing and then everybody invariably will suggest or machine learning AI high tech solutions. And then you wind up with something that is heavy and requires to be charged and all of those things. So I'm not suggesting that this is an alternative. What we're suggesting is it's not a replacement. It's not either ours. You can have the high tech stuff. You can have the cool thing that you saw on Instagram and TikTok and all that. And you can do that. But then when it runs out of battery-- [MUSIC PLAYING] --then you want something else. Or if you are traveling and you don't want something heavy, you should have an alternative. So that's kind of the observation that we've made that in the tech assistive tech marketplace, they're super advanced things. And they're also like very expensive and super heavy and hard to reach or come from overseas. And if it breaks, then you have to like go back to the factory where it came from. Oh, goodness. Oh, wait. Yeah. And that tends to cause other problems. If you are relying on a day-to-day basis and it suddenly stops working, then it's not just an inconvenience. It's something that you should be able to fix yourself. What is that you just pulled out of your pocket? What do you have in your pocket? Helge, you can't. And do your pockets. You'll think empty. So we're talking about a car product. Oh, it's a simple question about how-- just a simple question. people act of like eating right the use of cutleries that you know we probably take for granted is can be a challenge for some right and through your MIT Sundays that happen every Sunday I think it's mostly at the Pongo community library right regional library at Baguipada there's also three other libraries that it does take place as well so there you have it Kyle is holding it up it is the three day printed cutlery holder right you can put your fork so even your spoon as is showing now and how easy it is to use it and it's also very light there's a chopstick one as well so I think you know you guys are really coming out with the the practical solutions and actually bringing it right there to the individual in a minute of hours right because you say that the 3d printing has now really sped up the technology has improved and I I realized this you know your MIT Sundays is inclusive of so many levels because I'm thinking that if you have volunteers come in right they are learning about this whole idea of problem solving you know and it's and like you said sometimes it's not just about bringing the the most complex tech or you know the biggest like I don't know the most expensive materials and about understanding what really is the problem for that individual this is amazing guys thank you glad that you have I want to I want to once in his bag he's got a lot of things in his bag this bag is also 3d printed by them oh see it stores more than it holds you see I I'm walking away this belief that I don't need to do any more online shopping oh I do need to do one I need to buy this is what is amazing so we've got they've brought a lot of the items that they have actually this is from real life sessions right you've had with individuals and you've come up with these gadgets and printed items so not entirely we didn't design them from scratch okay this is an important thing that we should highlight because open source is what our accessibility talks about is what you were saying about it's it's inclusive on so many different levels and we don't often think about whose design it is and whether or not we're allowed to make changes to it but when it's open source we've got the permission from the start when somebody shares something online that is open source you don't you have the permission attached to it so you can look and see okay you're allowed to make remixes you're allowed to sell this you can actually even sell it if you want to or the license will will say that you can remix it and you can use it for personal use but you don't you're not allowed to sell it okay and all of these licenses are an alternative to the default copy right that we keep talking about so these are like creative comments if you are familiar with that term and because these are open source and they're 3D printable we can change them and then make them suit what you are trying to hold or you're trying to use so if like this piece here is a wearable holder for your cup oh that's what it is and if the cup doesn't fit then you can make it bigger make it smaller exactly just just to go back a little bit for the sake of someone who's tuning in or listening in who doesn't understand what exactly we're talking about please correct me if I'm wrong essentially to 3D print these things we need a plan we need something that the file right and we get these this file from something called open source so open source is the license that is attached to the file okay the files are shared in all sorts of different places okay think you versus the most common this is a universe of things is think you were printables dot com is a good website they have a good strong yeah they have a good strong open source philosophy so people share their designs so if they solve the problem that made sense to them and they don't mind sharing this file then we have access to the thing that they designed for themselves and to see if it works for our needs and I was saying that it looks like a Lego box so you have all the different pieces available online and then you can just regroup them as you wish and then put it together and just like the panel that you were holding just that is amazing you know he's not wasn't with the wings okay so we thought it was a bit unstable this one here okay and therefore we just added wings to make it stable so anybody can mix and match different designs that are already existing out there to make it suitable for their own needs hey this thing is brilliant so the question is like if you didn't have fingers or if you had a weakness in the fingers then how would you hold a pen yeah so this holds the pen for you it looks like a mouse and it works sort of like a mouse it's really amazing see I am a whole more than right I know this one this one helps it to slide better correct yeah this felt one felt you must buy felt if you buy a rubber rubber that you only be doing full stops I appreciate details like this and it's pink as well no but it's really heartwarming I think you know the fact that there's such open source you know all these plans these designs are actually available it's this whole project what you guys do it really speaks about humanity you know and humans just coming together for a greater good I like how people get excited about the technology and when you see this technology being applied in a you know meaningful everyday concept then you know I'm happy to talk about like AI and robots and all of that cool stuff and it's great and I think it's it's a good time to get excited about technology because we can now translate those ideas into something tangible that will help you on your day-to-day activity which is great that is amazing so we also are sharing this is also one of the one of the gadgets that you've actually brought down so if you can see the picture on our Facebook live these are like the nail clip what I call it a nail clipper holder or a nail clipper it's a nail clipper clipper nail clipper one hand a nail clipper so if you if you wanted to cut your nails then you need how many hands to hold and cut your nails at least two yeah but if you only have one hand or if you have a stroke or if you have a weakness say you had an accident yes you accidentally punched somebody in the face or whatever and you need to wait for let let me know all about that no what okay yeah yes yes that is so cool this is made in the or three three deep printers that's right and the designers again open source as well exactly when you download the file you find that hang on it doesn't quite fit the nail cutter that I have it's in for it so it's modified a little bit and then how then then how do you change it wow it's just something that you know okay sex let's say I want to volunteer right and I want to learn more about the 3D printing side of it right you know changing the designs would you need some sort of like tech background to understand and use that is the most common question and and the perception that people have is like yeah I need to be an expert I need to like learn cat drawing I need to be a 3D designer before I can do all this but it's like how the open source stuff is already there and you're only modifying it so you don't have to teach yourself 3D modeling and industrial design and product design all you need to know is how to change something a little bit really and there are tools that you can load onto your laptop don't even have to download anything just go to our website upload this file change it and then download and print it you know your gadgets right as a mom of four nail cutting involves sometimes more than two hands my husband has to get in on this yeah I think there's a huge huge like demand for what you've done here for moms with many kids I think that's beautiful because you don't have to have a disability right I mean it is designed solving a problem yeah design to be a 100 nail clipper but if it is interesting to the person who's using it for whatever reason it could be it looks a little bit like a horse for example there's another one there there's another one here this was designed by one of our volunteers sort of redesign based on that so that was the same concept of that such like leverish that is so cool so it started off with somebody else's design I think this was someone someone in Japan originally uploaded it okay and now there's hundreds of variations in different countries and this was redesigned and this this was a Chinese New Year special year of the horse we launched a a horse a what what horse version I'll tell you this if I had one of these things my kids would actually be more receptive to what they were finding they were fun yeah they'd be like hey let's come in and just cut your nails an hour ago mom no no yeah they grew they grew yeah so I think this is really cool can you talk a little bit more I mean you you did dive a little bit into it you know that you don't just build solutions for people right it's about co-creation why is that so important the co-creation is sort of core to what we do and the ability to download something and 3d printed becomes quite accessible so people feel less scared about doing this high tech looking thing but at the same time the question you asked is like you know that's a do you need to be an expert to make changes to it and the answer is no because the software is now more accessible and then the person who's using the thing can participate in the changes that you're making to it and when the person who's using it participates it changes the dynamic completely because then they become the co-creator of their own device and it's not old. they did this for me somewhere, some experts somewhere with a PhD did it for me and so I'm have to use only this one because it was specially prescribed. Versus, oh I made this change myself. This is sort of like a fashion accessory that I did a little bit of handy work for so this is my thing. And so it becomes a personal object, not an assistive device. And so I feel like that dynamic is super important because then there's a sense of dignity, the sense of agency that comes from participating in the creation of the co-creation of the device that you use. That's fantastic. And also building the community so that the solution can then be shared with others. But how do they get into these MIT Sundays in all then? Yeah, how do you go from self-aging laptops to wanting to do good for differently able friends in our community? That's an excellent question. So when you have a group of people who are interested in trying to solve the social need of the moment, we are looking at sort of the gaps that maybe other organizations and institutions may have overlooked are existing solutions don't really quite cover. So you kind of sensitized to the needs of people who are otherwise not being served. And so while we were doing this fixing of laptops and fixing and refurbishing them and sending them to families who couldn't afford these devices, we had people in the room that cared enough to do that to bring their skills. And you know, when you have creative skilled individuals gathering in a place like that, you tend to have conversations about how might we do things differently, how might we do things better. And that's kind of what you hope you see in places like institutions that have innovation centers. But that formalized way of thinking about innovation I think is different from what we're talking about from a ground up or a community kind of setting. And so the conversation shifted from the need of the moment, which is providing appropriate devices or laptops to what LJ and I we were doing even before COVID happened, which is to address the needs of people with disabilities. And the having these conversations with these individuals who are addressing the laptop need, we discovered new ideas, new ways of applying technology. 3D printing became sort of like a very accessible means of translating what those ideas were into helping people. And the other people who were in the room who were more looking more at the social aspects of this recognized that it's not just about the technology. It's not just about how cool or shiny the technology is. But how it's being used and how it affects the person's everyday life. And so those stories, how do we get up those stories while also maybe doing something tangible to address a more immediate need. And that's kind of where 3D printing started shining. And I think a lot of people will remember 3D printers before COVID were a lot more expensive and a lot more scary looking. Yeah, they took a lot a lot more time as well. Yeah. So you sort of have to be a little bit like tech savvy or tinkering friendly to get it to do what you wanted to do. But what's happened since then, what's happened now is that the 3D printers themselves are pretty much they think for themselves. So you just download a file and then you set them off and they do their thing. It's a really amazing thing. You don't have to worry about whether or not it's got this and that. I mean there is some element of it. Yeah. But it's mostly it does its own thing. It's definitely a lot more accessible. Yeah. And it's led to what we have today on the table here. If you're just tuning in, we've got a whole range of things like one-handed nail clippers to writing aids to grips for your spoon, grips for your cup, a horse nail clipper. Can you imagine cutting your nails with just one hand, right? Like like I think there's the only way I want to do it from here on. I would like to try the toenail version of this. That comes from often. I don't know whether I'm not very like a edgel, right? I wonder if my foot might cramp out. Obviously these have actually these questions have come about. Because you're thinking like you don't need your hands or you need one hand, right? So then what else can you do with it? The toe is an interesting idea because you can technically press it with your toe but then you can't see where it is. So what do you do? You attach a magnifying glass. How do you attach a magnifying glass? You 3D printed. How do you 3D printed? You go for MIT Sundays. You know what? I think you are right onto something. We are. Look at that. While you are A star student. I can't wait for that. So there's just so much. I mean, I hope you guys realize the impact that you've made on so many people's lives. You know, with just like you said, you may have just created this space but it's done so much, you know, just those who have the needs, who have disabilities, or those even without the volunteers who come in bringing all these individuals together. It's really incredible what two of you have done here. The volunteer is a key to this. And you know, because if as a small group of people who have these ideas and are willing to help, there are a lot more that are not part of the conversation. So the people who are actually using these devices, what we've tried to do is to hold space for, to allow them to come to the conversation. So there's very little distinction between who is a volunteer and who is a user. That's amazing. But we're not quite there yet. I mean, the technology is still a little bit scary. There are a few hurdles, but then they're much smaller than they used to be. So the few of us who have been in this long enough, we recognize that opportunity. So you have to, I think the responsibility is to try and keep at it. To try and keep making that invitation and say, look, please come, please just come and get a little bit. It's fine. We really, we're very keep-o-friendly people. Just come and see Kerry. That's really great to hear. And in fact, I want to just share with everyone. Please head on over to their Instagram page, which is "Salvich Goden, make a space." Okay? "Salvich Goden, make a space all in one word and go and find out for yourself. Find out how you can be involved. There's a volunteer or maybe they could actually help you solve a very day-to-day life problem." Guys, thank you so much for coming on the show and also Kerry on with these amazing MIT Sundays. What a great name as well. A fantastic conversation here with LJ and SOT. Co-founders of "Salvich Goden." They are Singapore's first community. Make a space for assistive tech. Thank you for having me. Thank you. You have to definitely go and check out the interview on our Facebook page and also our YouTube channel. Catch the whole Entity because you can also get a chance to see what they have actually printed out from and printed out for people that has helped individuals. Many individuals. They've made a prosthetic hand. Yes. A 3D printed prosthetic hand. Yes. And you can find out more, make inclusive tech sandays with "Salvich Goden." They're in the libraries from the afternoon. So it's Jurong Library, Woodlands, Pongal Tampines. We found out on Sundays and we found out they print these amazing stuff in the library. Yes. So our libraries have 3D printers which I never knew about. I didn't know that as well. Now we know. This is a really like, whoa moment. Revelation. Yeah. So do check out their main maker space is the one over at Pongal. Oh. Okay. Pongal Library every Sunday, level 4. Okay. But you can check out the ones at Jurong, Woodlands, and Tampines. I think they have that space until about for another month and a half. Okay. Yeah. And then they will consolidate it all over at Pongal. At Pongal. Yeah. So that is beautiful. Again, head on over to their Instagram with "Salvich Goden." Make a space. All in one word. And you can see the incredible work that they do. And you can actually be a part of it all. Yeah. So do that. Alrighty. In the show, in the sour itself, we're going to launch into our discussion. We do have a great price. We've got $150 worth of vouchers from Light Organics. They are a Singapore-based cosmetics brand that crafts high performance and their products are gentle designed to nourish your skin. And you can check them out at Light Organics on Instagram. But Light is spelled L-I-H-T. Okay. We got that. And also give us the discussion. Today's discussion. The most pointless thing you have ever been asked. Oh my god. And we're talking about things. We're talking about things like like I see Lavi walking into the the the radio studio. And I let me radio show. Oh my god. I see you eating beer. Hey, Lavi. You want the beer challenge. Yeah, no, but I think those two are okay, Lavi. That's not bad. That's not that's not pointless. Oh, you are in the lift going up in your house and then your neighbor comes in. Hey, going home? No, not going like that. Like pointless, pointless things you have been asked. And we're going to reward you and reward you with that. Oh, so putting you know, but maybe I was just that, you know, that nice neighbor was trying to be friendly and on goodness. Have I asked many pointless things? Yes. Stop it. Put the energy on. Hey, put the energy on. Shoes. You're going to walk. Funny things or random questions that people ask us when we're out and about your downstairs, you're just looking at the plant, your neighbor walks past you and go, Hey, look here. The plants are. Hey, okay, okay. I'm sure I haven't counted. I just can't remember anything right now, but I'm sure I've had encountered it. But I just always feel like, you know, the person actually made an effort to strike up a conversation. And I don't want the person to feel awkward, you know, because I feel like it takes a lot of like, you know, guts to just like, start a conversation. So I try and engage them. No matter how pointless, I would try and engage them. Like, you know, looking at my eyes, "Yeah, this plan is very nice." I would engage them. Or they go like, "Oh, you're never seeing you going up the lift." "Oh, going back home, I would actually engage." I'd be like, "Yeah, I just came off work, you know, a bit tired." "How are you?" So, yeah, I just feel like I don't want them to feel bad or feel awkward for just jerking up the conversation. This is even before I go out of the house. It happens within my house for the past 15 years. Yeah, my mom. Hey, how are you getting there? So, this was even before I started driving. So, naturally, and she knows I don't take care. So, how was it I got to get to school? Oh my god, I wear so much fun with it. Just for giggles, really. Yeah, so it's my mom who asked me that, "Oh, we're going to town with this helicopter." Yeah, I said, "I think playing, I fly in there." I fly in there, I fly too. Don't you know my superpower? Yeah, and then now that I started driving, she still asked me at the same thing. And I just say, "I just walk along." "All the way through, the breadel from the distance." And then she says, "Huh?" Then the next question is, "Nadis, what are we?" Then you ask for what? "Haha, what are you saying?" "What is your mom's saying response to your retort?" I don't know, but she just keeps asking. It happens so much after getting her retin- Maybe it's something else. Maybe she's more like, "She's waiting for you to ask, "Do you want to come along?" Maybe it's one of those Asian- family, Asian mother questions where they ask, "Are you eating already or not?" Yeah. But I don't find that pointless, do I find it's quite sweetless? Is there a way of showing care? Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, I can't see. So I will try to engage. Okay, you do it every day for 15 years. You sell me after it. No, I know, I know, but I guess that's how parents, like, are my parents of that generation, you know how they care, right? It's like, you eat dinner already, you know? Inside the physical food, you try. But what if you are eating and then your mom comes, "Hey, you eat dinner?" No, I call it the rice green. [Laughs] We do have a voice note, this one from Bratland G, good man. So whenever I book a grab or a taxi and because of my name, they try to identify me as I come in, some of them get a bit excited. And then they find out that I'm not that guy and then they look at me and they say, "The other fella, your brother." I feel like guys get a lot of pointless questions. Really? All the time. Okay, go. Like, okay, for example, for you put on your work out clothes, you go down, you're jogging, and another bro says, "Hey bro, jogginger." You literally sit down and you enter the barber shop. You enter the barber shop. And you see a friend of yours who also cuts at the same barber, "Hey bro, cut hair." Like, why else would I be here bro? What am I doing? Making nasi padang, right? No one. No one. No one. No one. No one. I'm doing his inventory. Maybe his hair died. I audita audita. I audita. No, baby. Maybe you. Jill. Well, I think there's actually one pointless question that's purposely asked, and this is not in Singapore. It's like in Australia, in the UK. Okay. You walk in and they say, "Hey, how are you?" And they don't expect you to answer. And you're supposed to say, "How are you back?" And nobody ever answers the question. Oh, I know. Wait, wait, wait. You're saying that nobody should answer it? Like, really? No, I expected to answer. But she just goes, "Good thing." Just, "Good, how are you?" But I don't say that. No, but I don't say that. But I observe other people doing this. Jill, in Australia, when someone goes, "Hey, how you going?" You say, "Yeah, nah, nah, nah, how you going?" That's what you do. Oh, so you just make a quick answer. Yeah. Oh, good. And then how are you? Yeah, how you going? Or how's it going? Or how are you? We should do that in Singapore. The last time I literally went to Bangalore and said, "Hello, Andy. How are you?" What are you one? Oh. Or the answer. That's a pointless question. But we're talking about what your pointless questions are. And our best answer today is going to be going back with $150 worth of vouchers from Light Organics. They are a Singapore based cosmetics brand. Check them out, Light Organics, but Light is spelled L-I-H-T. I'm thinking that, you know, we would definitely, I'm sure we have asked a pointless question. You know, just sometimes just out of awkwardness and stuff, right? We need to come, we need to have a comeback, you know, when people are like, not responding to that, no matter how pointless that question is, right? For example. So, like, you know, if you're jogging, you're like, "Hey, jogging." And then you're like, then you get some sarcastic. No, someone's chasing me behind. Behind your eyes. I think we should all just shout, "I'm just trying to make a human connection, man. Come on!" So sad. We go on from when he. So one of the pointless questions I can think of was, "Can I ask you a question?" I mean, just say hi and ask away. "Premand!" "Oh, okay, that's what. I have not asked you a question." "I have not asked that for because you're trying to be polite about it." "Can I ask you a question? You just did. Can I ask you one more question? You just did." "No, don't like that." "Don't like that." "Don't like that." Yeah, because, right, I think that's just like a polite thing to do. But I can understand why that's hilarious, though. I feel like we should totally be asking pointless questions the next time around when we have to call the people for prizes. Hey, you want to win prizes? Yeah. Are you here to win? Do you want to win a prize? You want to win a prize? You message us, are you text us? Shall we do that? We'll try tomorrow. We'll give it a go. No one's going to pick up our call. What's the time over there? Oh, it's 7 AM. It's 7 AM. Is it 7 AM? Is it morning? Morning, you're morning. Pointless questions or pointless things you've been asked. When you're waiting for a friend and your friend arrives, you turn to your friend and go, "Oh, you reached earlier." It's happened to all of us before. Right? I almost feel like I've probably asked some pointless questions as well. I'm sure I have. Love it. You seem like someone who has a lot of positive. POSITIVE. POSITIVE POINELESS COSTANTS. This is hilarious. If we have some of you actually texting in, but you know what? Share with us your voice notes on this. I want to read the few from Matthew. Are you, "Don't be so naughty." This fella, he's like, "Hey, you're having a discussion topic." "Hey, you're working morning shift today." And the common ones that he gets are the usual going out in the lift going down. Or went out in the lift going up. This one just came in and I have had this before. Celesta says, "You go to the clinic. You want to see the doctor." "You go to the clinic. You walk in and you go to the reception." "And the receptionist looks up and goes, "You want to see the doctor?" "Oh my goodness." "Man, I can't wait for what? Watch your toilet." Is it? And as she goes, "I actually have toilet." "I have a toilet being there today." "Lady." We've got a voice note from Jude. Good morning, Lavin and Carl. Oh, after if you are hearing this, what your foot and go gets better. You know the most ridiculous question at about 1 a.m. and the morning. Somebody calls me and then I ask, "Hello, sleeping out." "Come on. If I'm asleep, would I be answering the phone?" "Man." The mind was when my sis was carrying her towel, her clothes, and she was sitting in the bathroom. And as I was coming out of the room, I saw her and I asked, "You're going to shower?" And then she looked at me with that blank face and said, "No, I'm going to sit in the bathroom." So yes, it reminds me of this little conversation that is no value-editor. And I'm trying to be conscious about it, but it seems that I'm still doing it. Oh boy. I've had similar experiences in the lift. So there was once, I was on a business trip to Hong Kong, and we were staying on a Shangri-La, on the top floor, the club floor. And then there were four of us, I think, who got into the lift at exactly the same time. And as a lift door was shutting, somebody ran for it and managed to hit the door, open button to wait for him. He reached the door and he said, "Going down, we want to top floor, bearing in mind." And I just replied, "No, going up." He went back out of the lift and he said, "Sorry, everybody in the lift, everybody in the lift, flip." That's hilarious. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. I totally resident Jeremy's sense of humor. I feel like I would do something like that. I would totally do something like that. You're on the top floor. We have a very special guest on the show, not a guest resident, our family member. Resident resident, okay, he's Jules here. Jules is here. Hi Jules. Good morning. How's this happening? You get really pointless questions. When I'm all dressed up at home, and after that my mom says, "Oh, are you going out?" "No mom, I just dressed up really nicely. Put on my makeup just to sit here and chat with you." Just for fun, you know? Why cannot I be in my ball gown at home? Exactly. Descending down with my full makeup on. That's right. Why? I can't bring my handshakes on. Just me on the floor. Okay, okay. Being the only man in the studio now. Is this not something girls do?
