The Straits Times Index (STI) suffered a sharp correction in October, while AI stocks faced renewed selling pressure. Are these declines creating buying opportunities or signalling more trouble ahead? Lance Alexander speaks with Cheng Chye Hsern, Head of Investment, Providend to examine whether Singapore stocks are attractively valued, which stocks deserve a closer look, and what the latest AI sell-off means for investors. Plus, with a new S&P 500 equal-weight ETF listed on SGX, how does it compare with a traditional S&P 500 ETF, and which makes more sense for your portfolio?

A viral video of a helmetless cyclist crashing onto the road has reignited debate over reckless cycling in Singapore, particularly among youths riding fixie bikes.

With helmets already mandatory on public roads, are existing rules doing enough to keep cyclists and other road users safe? Should dangerous cyclists face riding bans, or should Singapore introduce cycling licences and compulsory proficiency tests?

Singapore Unfiltered: Viral cyclist crash sparks calls for tougher cycling rules

Child abuse cases in Singapore, including the tragic deaths of Megan Khung and Trevor Neo, have raised difficult questions about how we protect vulnerable children and whether warning signs are being missed. How do we recognise when discipline crosses the line into abuse? What happens when someone suspects a child is being harmed, and how can we intervene before it is too late?

On Talk of the Town, Let’s Talk, Singapore speaks with Justin Chan, Managing Partner of Justin Chan Chambers LLP & Dr David Teo, Deputy Medical Director, Senior Consultant Child & Adolescent and General Adult Psychiatrist at Connections MindHealth to examine the psychological impact of abuse, Singapore’s child protection system, and the legal measures available to safeguard children. We also explore why children may struggle to speak up, what happens after a report is made, and how members of the public can play a role in protecting a child at risk.

8 matches without a win means Manchester United have now matched their worst run this century, as matters got from worst to worser for the Red Devils. With the departure of Michael Carrick now looking inevitable, could the club now face the very real threat of relegation from the Premier League?

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun  joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen.

Who really controls critical wartime technology? Can energy exports become geopolitical weapons? And is political advertising now the most important battlefield in American democracy?

First, Ukraine says restrictions on Starshield, the military version of Elon Musk's satellite communications network, remain in place despite claims from US President Donald Trump that service has been restored. Ukrainian officials report ongoing disruptions affecting drone operations and battlefield communications, highlighting an uncomfortable reality: what happens when a privately owned technology platform becomes a critical component of modern warfare? The discussion examines the growing influence of tech billionaires in international conflicts and the implications for national sovereignty and military strategy.

Next, Indonesia sends a strong message to its trading partners, warning that it may reconsider energy exports to countries that "disrespect" the nation. While no country was specifically named, Singapore remains one of Indonesia's key natural gas customers. As resource nationalism gains momentum worldwide, Glenn and Steve explore whether this represents a negotiating tactic, a broader geopolitical shift, or a sign that countries rich in natural resources are becoming increasingly willing to leverage energy supplies for strategic influence.

The conversation then shifts to the United States, where billions of dollars are flooding into midterm election advertising. With competitive races in states like Ohio and Texas commanding unprecedented spending levels, are political campaigns becoming contests of ideas or simply contests of resources? Glenn and Steve analyze whether massive advertising spending still changes votes in today's fractured media environment and what these record expenditures reveal about the state of American politics.

And a priceless globe linked to General Dwight Eisenhower, complete with original markings from Eisenhower and General Omar Bradley, was reportedly damaged during an attempted move inside the Pentagon. The historic artifact suffered significant damage after staff lost control of it during relocation. 

The irony? A globe representing decades of military history becoming a casualty of bureaucracy, logistics, and perhaps too much enthusiasm for office redecorating.

Gen Z is increasingly taking an interest in birdwatching, turning to nature as a way to unwind and explore Singapore’s biodiversity and connect with like-minded enthusiasts.

Social media, online bird-sighting communities and more accessible photography equipment have also made it easier for young people to pick up the hobby and share their discoveries.

So why are more young people taking up birdwatching and what is drawing Gen Z to a hobby traditionally associated with older generations?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Raghav Narayanswamy, Vice President of the Bird Society of Singapore, who first took up birdwatching at the age of 13, on why the hobby is gaining traction among his generation.

Two critical vulnerabilities in PHP, a technology that powers a large part of the internet, have triggered a global cybersecurity scramble, with governments and organisations racing to secure their systems.

Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency has urged organisations to act immediately, warning that even businesses relying on external IT vendors or hosting providers may not realise they are affected.

So how serious are these vulnerabilities, how exposed are organisations in Singapore, and what should businesses and everyday users do to protect themselves?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Kelvin Chin, Regional Director (Asia) at Filigran, to unpack the severity of the vulnerabilities, the risks facing organisations in Singapore, and what can be done to mitigate the threat.

Flying cars have been a staple of science fiction for decades, but are we finally getting closer to making them a reality?

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has unveiled a demonstration of what he says could be a flying version of the Tesla Roadster, featuring mid-air flips and air jets.

But there’s a catch: what we’ve seen so far looks more like a car that can jump than one that can sustain flight.

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Alexandra Parada imagine what flying cars could mean for Singapore.
