Nights with Simon Lim

CLAIRE BETITA DE GUZMAN,  NOVELIST - Author of 'Huế City' (latest novel)

Do you have a time capsule at home?  Simon Lim puts the spotlight on Rebecca Wong, Co-Founder of "By My Old School" (a vintage store located in Commonwealth Drive in Singapore). Rebecca co-founded "By My Old School" with her Dad Winston. 

Some people have this notion that keeping old stuff or collecting things amounts to hoarding. On the other hand, buying vintage items supports the greater good of repurposing and paying homage to heritage. Rebecca will be talking about some unique items with a rich story. 

Did you grow up collecting movie posters and vinyl records? Has there been a resurgence in certain collectibles?  There are also widely sought-after collectibles. What has Rebecca got to say about the appreciation and collection of rarities? 
Find out more about the vintage store "By My Old School" from Rebecca Wong, Co-Founder of "By My Old School".

REBECCA WONG,  CO-FOUNDER - BY MY OLD SCHOOL (vintage store)

Have you ever had a conversation with a forensic pathologist? Perhaps you have watched Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) TV shows where the deceased undergoes an autopsy. The forensic pathologist would examine the body in detail to determine the actual cause of death.

On this podcast, Simon Lim features Dr. Lee Chin Thye, Senior Consultant Forensic Pathologist with the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in Singapore. 
What are some unnatural deaths that Dr. Lee has come across in his work? In unnatural or unexplained death, what is the ideal time frame for collecting forensic evidence?  

How do forensic pathologists handle severely decomposed bodies? 
What is the strangest thing that Dr. Lee has discovered from examining a deceased person?  

If a post-mortem of the body is required, what needs to be done? Dr. Lee will describe the process. 

Some people have reported that a dead body can have discoloration of the skin - which may vary from pink to dark purplish or in layman terms, "black". What causes this?  

Can the remains of the departed be used in forensic investigation after cremation where some fragments of bones are kept with the ashes?

Find out the answers from Dr. Lee Chin Thye, Senior Consultant Forensic Pathologist, Health Sciences Authority (HSA).
