Roughly US$25 billion worth of IPOs was priced globally in March and April, nearly twice the amount seen in the first two months of the year when listings virtually ground to a halt.

On Money in the Market, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Alex Tan, CEO, ZICO Capital, to find out more.

Money in the Market: What makes Asia such an attractive destination for IPOs as compared to the rest of the world?

Drones have quietly become part of everyday life - hovering above events, capturing footage, delivering new possibilities across industries.

But as the technology becomes cheaper, smarter, and more accessible, it’s also creating new challenges around security, airspace, and public safety.

On Industry Insight, Lynlee Foo speaks to Dan Hermansen, CEO of MyDefence, explains how drone threats are evolving, why traditional security measures are struggling to keep up, and how radio frequency technology is being used to detect and counter unmanned systems before they become a problem.

This morning on Money FM 89.3, Neil Humphries and Audrey Siek unpacked a familiar parenting dilemma: should you monitor your child’s phone?

But that’s only part of the story, because beyond parental control lies a more complex reality which is that your child’s device is already being monitored.

From the moment they get their first smartphone, AI systems are at work where one designed to detect harm and comply with regulations, and another built to keep them engaged for as long as possible.

On AI & Me, Lynlee Foo explores this deeper tension: when does protection become surveillance and who is really in control?

A Singapore animated film just made it into the main competition at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival for the first time in the festival's 65-year history.

It's a historic moment. But it also raises a harder question: if this is what it takes to make one film, can Singapore actually build a sustainable animation industry? Or is this a one-off?

On Industry Insight, Lynlee Foo speaks to Justin Deimen, Executive Producer of The Violinist and Executive Director, at Singapore’s Intercultural Theatre Institute, about what it took to bring the film to this level, the challenges facing local animators, and whether this moment can translate into long-term growth for Singapore’s animation scene.
