For people working from home who also have to appear in video calls, it is perhaps crucial to take note of one's appearance.

But this appears to be no problem at all for CNA anchor Steven Chia, who is currently the host for show Talking Point.

In a Facebook post on Feb. 19, he shared that he had appeared in an interview that was broadcast on television that morning, from the comfort of his own home.

Chia had appeared in a segment of the morning show, Asia First, where he spoke about processed food.

In the screenshot, he appears to be wearing a pink long-sleeved shirt and a jacket while in a teleconference call with two others.

His caption read: "Did an interview from home today... and yes, wore shorts!"

In the comments section, he also engaged with some commenters, saying that someone even suggested that he wear a sarong:

One comment also pointed out a very real concern with working from home:

Which is likely a reference to a 2017 BBC interview where analyst Robert Kelly's live interview was gate-crashed by his two adorable children.
