It also contains an essay about Singapore’s barbecue culture from Joseph Ong, the inaugural recipient of the Mynah Emerging Writers Mentorship. The magazine is known for presenting thoughtful, intelligent, and critical writing that explores Singapore's culture, politics, and everyday life through long-form reportage, essays, and narrative journalism.
