From next year, travellers flying out of Singapore will have to pay a green jet fuel levy of between $1 and $41.60, depending on their destination and cabin class. The money will go towards sustainable aviation fuel, as Singapore looks to make air travel greener.

But as the aviation industry works towards becoming more sustainable, should travellers have to foot the bill for greener flying?

On Viewpoint, Lynlee Foo speaks to Associate Professor Zhang Weina, Deputy Director of the Sustainable and Green Finance Institute (SGFIN) NUS, about who should bear the cost of greener aviation and what this transition could mean for the future of air travel.

Viewpoint: Should travellers have to pay for greener flying?

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in the insurance industry, it is changing not just how insurers process claims, but how consumers buy, use and experience insurance.

From AI assessing claims and detecting fraud to recommending coverage and streamlining the customer journey, how much of our interaction with insurers could eventually be handled by AI?

On AI & Me: Eye on AI, Lynlee Foo speaks with Raunak Mehta, Co-Founder and CEO, Igloo, about how AI is changing the way we buy and use insurance and where humans still need to be involved.

Rising oil prices and changing expectations for global interest rates have raised fresh doubts about whether borrowing will continue getting cheaper. Even if the immediate geopolitical shock passes, could heavier government borrowing, AI investment and a more volatile global economy keep borrowing costs higher for longer?

On Viewpoint, Lynlee Foo speaks with Vishnu Varathan, head of macro strategy for APAC (ex Japan) at Mizuho Bank, about what this means for home loans and businesses in Singapore, how much protection a stronger Singapore dollar provides, and what borrowers should consider when making long-term financial decisions.

For most of us, catching someone else’s yawn is almost automatic. But why does it happen, and why can we sometimes yawn just from hearing one, reading about it or even thinking about it?

On Is It Just Me?, Lynlee Foo and producer Alexandra Parada unpacks why yawns are contagious, how the behaviour may help us synchronise with those around us, and what it can tell us about the way humans and other social animals interact. Featuring insights from Elisabetta Palagi, Associate Professor of Ethology, Department of Biology, University of Pisa.
