Beskrivelse

The 2004 Sumatra earthquake and tsunami may feel like a distant memory, but new research suggests its impact is still unfolding right here in Singapore. On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Grace Ng, Research Fellow at NTU's Earth Observatory of Singapore, about a new study showing that the earthquake caused Singapore's land to slowly sink for years afterwards. What does this mean for a country that's already preparing for rising sea levels? Should Singaporeans be worried, or is this simply another factor scientists and policymakers need to account for? And could distant earthquakes reshape how Singapore plans for climate change and coastal resilience in the decades ahead?

The Big Story: Own Grab, Sea and even SpaceX? Now you can on the SGX

Singapore investors can now access some of the world's biggest companies without leaving the local market. The Singapore Exchange has launched its first US-listed Singapore Depository Receipts (SDRs), giving investors exposure to Grab, Sea Limited and SpaceX in Singapore dollars, during local trading hours, and with lower investment amounts. But what does this mean for everyday investors? Could this help make the SGX more attractive as more Singaporeans seek global investment opportunities? And which high-profile US-listed companies could be added next? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with veteran financial journalist and former SPH Media Group editor Ven Sreenivasan, to find out more.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

The Agenda: Is company loyalty dead for young workers in 2026?

Staying with one company for decades was once seen as the gold standard of career success. Today, younger workers are changing jobs more frequently in search of better opportunities, higher salaries, greater flexibility and more meaningful work, raising questions about whether company loyalty still holds the same value. So is the era of lifelong careers coming to an end? Has the definition of career success evolved? And what does loyalty in the workplace look like in today's job market? On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Khong Wei Ling, Business Operations Manager at HP Singapore, about the changing relationship between employees and employers, and whether staying put is still worth it.

The Big Story: Could Faishal Ibrahim's resignation trigger an early Cabinet reshuffle?

Dr Faishal Ibrahim’s resignation has put Singapore’s political leadership renewal back in the spotlight. With two experienced 4G political office holders stepping down in just weeks, could this bring forward Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s Cabinet reshuffle? How will the PAP balance the need for experienced leadership with the push to develop its next generation of 5G leaders? And what does Dr Faishal’s departure mean for Malay/Muslim representation at the highest levels of government? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law at SMU’s Yong Pung How School of Law, to unpack the political implications, succession challenges and what to watch for next.
