I think it's okay to sneak a peek.
At anything.
To be honest I mean…
Hi guys!
Hi! Hi!
In what situations will making a decision be difficult for you?
I don’t know whether I should buy bubble tea more than once a week.
Whether to wake up early to work out or not.
Or like, you buying gift for someone like, birthday…
Ya! Wah, damn difficult eh! Wah! Freaking dilemma!
Who invented like, birthday must buy gifts.
Like, I don’t expect people to buy it for me.
What do you do when you’re stuck with a decision?
For me, I would make a mental note of pros and cons.
You flip a coin.
Like when I chose my college degree, I flip a coin.
But, whenever you make a decision, you must own it.
But most of the time I regret sia. Right?
Ya, I always regret also.
On this episode of Singaporeans Try, we are going to question your morals
with some moral dilemma questions.
The whole world is out to judge us now.
Chey!
Is taking bathrobes from a hotel considered stealing? I thought is some intense thing.
No.
Huh? So fast? I don’t think so.
Ya.
The contract got say cannot take or not?
I think have eh.
Wah, if don’t have I straight away take.
Cause’ normally like, quite good quality but I think it’s something like…
I think it’s considered stealing.
Technically is cannot and why would you want to take it home?
Like, it’s so dirty and it’s so furry...
From everybody’s skin cells. Because it’s free.
Actually technically right, if you take the bathrobe home,
just like, if you take the toiletries home,
it’s free marketing for the hotel brand.
Because they have the logo there.
So when you bring it home and wear around, people will be like,
“Eh? Where you get from ah?”
Who’s gonna see you at home wearing your bathrobe?!
That depends on how promiscuous you are.
Okay, I’ve had this conversation with a friend before.
She takes the airplane blankets home.
Actually I do also.
I don’t know! But I see people take then I take also lah.
Oh, so…
This is his moral values eh, if other people do it, so can I.
If everybody does it, it’s correct.
So does that mean that you cannot take toothbrush also, to be honest.
You can.
Cause’ that one is disposable. Why?
Bathrobes are things that they actually have to bring to the laundry service.
Which suggests that they’re supposed to be part of the property’s asset.
Okay lah, my answer is yes lah. It is stealing.
Wah now, am I a… Am I a thief?
Ya, you’re gonna go to jail after this.
Yes! Yes, it’s stealing. I think yes.
The toothpaste if it’s Colgate or Darlie I will take.
No, my first instinct is like, no eh, I don't think so.
But after your explanation, fine, I agree.
He’s the step moral one.
Oh, ya hotel also has pens.
No, no. No.
Pen is free marketing.
Okay lah, the way I see it is just the expense lor.
Pens are like 20 cents for one.
They confirm they have like, a pack to refill every time.
But bathrobe is like not readily available like 100 bathrobes then they can just like, replace ma.
But then again, our morals are they based on the value of the thing?
Or the value of our morals? I don't know…
Why don’t we just call the hotel now and ask?
Good afternoon, how may I assist you?
If somebody were to stay in a hotel room, and are they entitled to bring home
uhm... Let’s say, for example the bathrobes? Or it’s they are not allowed to.
So sorry, the bathrobes uhm…
Can you go a purchase it at our gift shop?
Oh, right.
Uhh, what about a pen?
Ya sure, you can bring it home.
Oh, okay understand. Oh, okay.
Okay, okay, thank you so much.
Thank you.
Bye bye. Thank you so much.
Bye bye.
Oh my god, she was so nice.
She go find all the order robe prices.
You see, pen can bring!
Definitely.
It is not okay to sneak a peek.
You should ask for permission.
Unless sneaking a peek like, 2 seconds.
Ya, that’s the exact definition of sneak a peek.
I think it’s okay to sneak a peek.
At anything.
To be honest, I mean…
Wah! Damn disgust…
No! Calm down!
Calm. Down.
If sneak a peek like accidentally right
is like, is like... Ya, that’s what I meant.
It’s okay, it’s not your fault.
You got kena(get sneaked at) before?
Last time… Sorry I’m very old.
So last time, my messages…
Your mother will open a letter.
From your penpal.
I got kena(get sneaked at) from my mom before.
I felt like any other teenager would, I felt angry.
Maybe when you’re at that age where you don’t really tell your parents things right,
then, it’s not like they want to kay poh(be a busybody)
but that’s the only way that they can know that like, you are doing okay.
You know last time right, back in the old days right,
I mean like, the dad and the mom confirm will control over anything.
I'm your father!(speaking in Chinese)
Let me see your phone!
You know that kind of thing.
You also need to think about the intention behind sneaking a peek
at someone's phone or your child's messages like,
is it to harm or is it to protect.
I think if it's a teenager right,
No ah.
Because they have more autonomy.
They understand what's going on.
If it's like a 7 year old kid right,
a bit dangerous ah.
So conclusion is..
Depends on intention.
Below a certain age is considered protection,
above a certain age is considered invasion.
If you really need to do it,
Uhh, don't do it. You can just talk to your kid.
Ya, I think say first.
You're a doctor in an emergency room.
6 patients come to you.
5 of them sustained moderate injuries, 1 is severely injured.
You could spend all day caring for the 1 severely injured victim,
but in the meantime, the 5 will die.
Or your could look after 5, restore them to health
but the 1 severely injured will die.
Who would you choose to save?
A, 1 severely injured patient
or B, 5 moderately injured patients.
Oh, it's an easy one right?
Easy ah?
Eh it's life eh! Why so easy.
Cause' if given that you have no personal interest across all 6 people,
you would naturally want to have a higher survival rate.
No, normally when they come in right, the doctor would already assess,
if this guy right, is like, confirm die.
So like at war,
they'll just do anything to just stabilise then they help other people before coming back one.
But if it's hospital right, is like,
who come first lor.
Let's say all 6 like, 1 row go to you.
Then I line them up.
Okay... 1... 2, 3!
Okay!
Okay, first to press this...
1, 2, 3.
Obviously you save the more numbers right.
Ya, I think that would be my answer also.
It's a numbers game lor, you rather save 5 lives ah.
The only fight is when you look at the 1 injured patient
the patient looks at you very sadly.
Then you just like, "Okay, how?"
Actually who would choose 1?
I'm kinda struggling to understand the dilemma. Ya.
Like who would choose 1?
The issue right now right, they're gonna change to scenario 2.
It'll get worse.
Okay... Scenario 2.
You read.
You have 5 patients each in desperate need of an organ transplant
in order to survive.
You have no organ donors available.
In the next room, oh my god is a healthy guy who came in for a checkup and...
he's taking a nap.
You could go in very quietly,
yank out the 5 organs and that person would die.
But you could... You can save the 5.
Who would you choose to save?
A, harvest the organs from the healthy man and give it to the 5 patients,
B, leave the 5 patients to die.
1, 2, 3, what the shit.
1, 2, 3.
What the shit?! What the shit?!
You guys are sick.
That is a very sick question.
Imagine you're the healthy guy, you just go for like... Insurance checkup.
And why are you taking a nap anyway?
It's worded in a very not neutral way.
Ya, it's really not eh. They use the verb, "yank out the 5 organs".
And its also, "leave them to die". So violent!
No, Ali, you just imagine the scenario.
In the next room, is a healthy guy who came in for a checkup and he's taking a nap.
Go in very quietly...
And then what do you do?
You yank out the five organs!
You know...
So in a way like, this is worse right,
not because in this scenario you actually have to get your hands dirty.
But because it is violating a human right.
The guy is healthy and he probably you know, lives a healthy life
which is not easy.
He like, eats clean.
He goes to gym every morning.
And maybe the other 5 maybe you know, they eat and drink unreasonably.
Ya, I think this is super straight forward to me.
Is obviously leave the 5 patients to die.
That's the worst thing you could ever steal eh.
Ya.
Bathrobe is nothing sia.
So you see, this is like, proof that is really is case by case.
I think B definitely make sense.
Because uhh, it is his own.
The organs belong to him.
You, your baby and your entire townspeople are being chased by this group of bad people.
Who will kill you all if they find you.
All of you decide to hide in this secret place and are silently waiting for the bad guys to move away.
However!
You know that your baby will cough and the bad people will hear him.
Then they will find you, your baby and townspeople and kill all of you.
Oh my gosh!
Would you...
Kill your baby and save yourself and the entire town,
or let your baby cough and get yourself, your baby and the entire town killed.
Why only the baby will cough, why I cannot cough?
Okay, I take it as baby cry lah.
I also can cry ma, uh huh we're dying!
Why must you kill?! Maybe like, just like...
Cover your baby's mouth or something!
I'll just hide somewhere with my baby.
Then if cough then 2 of us die lor.
Then everybody is safe.
But the thing is all of us decided to hide in the same place...
Then all cough at the same time.
Ya! In the first place, hiding together in the same place is a stupid decision!
Is a town eh!
You know you can go and like...
Hit the baby.
Oh my god! Then the baby will...
I know in World War 2, a lot of the parents they use
like whiskey or something like that or rum?
Ya, so that the baby will smell the alcohol then the baby will K.O(knock out).
Watching a lot of movies right, I already got a solution to this problem.
I will sacrifice myself to be the distraction.
I will ask someone to hold my baby.
I take some pot and pan or whatever thing right,
then I will like, *dong-dong-dong-dong*!
Then I like go to another place, I like, be distraction.
But I won't like, go back to the town.
Write a letter to my baby I like, "see you in the next 5 years, bla bla bla."
If there a phone then I like, "please call my number."
Then I ask someone who I trust to take care of the baby while I like, go on a expedition right
to uhh.. go be the distraction.
Oh my god, I feel like I can write a movie now.
Distraction.
Yea, I think this is the toughest question so far.
Because it ties in your baby and the numbers.
So would you choose A or B?
Why you do this to me?!
I would choose B.
I feel so evil.
But then again, you are even more evil if the entire town gets killed.
What do you think of this episode of SG Try?
I like it actually.
Yea, I like it. I like to think about this kind of thing.
Yea, it triggers my mind. It makes me figure out who I really am.
Wow.
Rabak(intense).
Ya, it's so dark man.
These are things that you normally talk about like, after you have a few drinks.
Is that really the things you normally talk about after you drink?
Then you got no filter already what, then you like, "Aiya, just kill all of them lah!"
Ya, but it's always like...
It's always going to be inconclusive.
But the pen just take ah.
Ya, the pen just take.
That's the easiest.
Which moral dilemma question was the hardest to answer?
Baby.
Cause' you're in it.
I think a lot of parents can relate to the like,
"Should we look at our child's phone."
And then I bet like, you will always like, try to psycho yourself
"No la, it's like, for the kid's sake ma."
Like, it's easy to say and sit here and talk and criticise and judge but,
it's definitely 10 times worse or more if you are the one in the situation itself.
