For many of us Singaporean sons, 26 is the age where we begin our journey into the working world and take steps towards an independent lifestyle. 


For Mark Adam Collins however, things were about take a huge turn at 26 when he found out he was STILL a Singapore Citizen and had to serve National Service in order to work/stay in Singapore!


Find out what it was like to be in his shoes - transitioning from a Western Culture to Singapore's Culture, adapting to living in an authoritative environment, overcoming the struggles of language barriers, and how making friends enabled him to get through it all.  


Enjoy the episode!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular β€˜ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
