Every week, media company The Royal Singapore puts up two to three videos on its Facebook page. The content often revolves around feel-good stories of ordinary people doing upbeat things, and celebrations of grit and determination.
There is the funeral director who conducts pro bono funeral services for elderly folks who die alone, and the hairdresser who gives free haircuts to loitering teens in her neighbourhood.
The man behind The Royal Singapore, Yang Kaiheng, 32, said he was compelled to start the media outfit because he wanted to inject more positivity into Singapore’s social media scene – a trait he finds lacking in cyberspace, where haters and trolls thrive.
