What's Trending: Are Singaporeans really bad at making friends?

Making friends as an adult isn’t always easy, so one Singaporean content creator is taking things back to the playground. Twenty-year-old Trevor, known as @trevuh2, has organised what he calls Singapore’s largest game of Duck, Duck, Goose, bringing strangers together to play, socialise and hopefully make new friends. 

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alex Parada discuss whether Singaporeans are unfriendly or simply hesitant to approach strangers, why adult friendships can be so difficult to form, and whether childhood games and organised meet-ups could help break the ice. Would you join a game with complete strangers, or would the awkwardness be too much?
