Japan asserts her cultural currency, reminding everyone that she was truly responsible for Pokemon GO. And a Noose exclusive with everyone’s favourite Olympic gold medalist – Joseph Schooling.
The Noose kicks off the new year with a very special episode, featuring characters from long-form drama Tanglin. We investigate a rise in the requests for paternity tests, the demise of F&B businesses (like Tanglin Coffee House), and Pornsak pitches his idea for a new drama series 'Golden Mile'.

The government rolls out a training course for maids so that kids will not love them more than their parents. Thai football fans are up in arms at the mismanagement of their club at the hands of Singaporean billionaire Valen Seah. And more Singaporeans are giving up driving in a bid to save lives.
We've made it to the season finale of The Noose. Honestly, we weren't quite sure that was going to happen. In this episode, mom-and-pop shops band together to stand up to big retailers. Esmond Wan tries to do a good deed but it backfires. And vice looks to the future by going social online.
