2022 calls for radical climate action from businesses

The removal of a retirement age in Singapore does not mandate lifelong work but instead empowers individuals to remain economically active for as long as they wish.

Studies have shown that many older Singaporeans value the opportunity to work during their later years, as it supports independence and self-sufficiency.

This flexibility is becoming increasingly important given Singapore's low birth rates and ageing population, which are poised to make the employment of mature workers a critical social issue.

However, the issue of retirement age remains a topic of debate.

Should it continue to serve as a structured framework to balance workforce stability and generational equity? Or should we eliminate it altogether?

On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Terence Ho, Associate Professor in Practice at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore and Ruiming He, Co-Founder, The Woke Salary Man, to find out whether it should remain or not.

There’s been a shift in allocations impacting on luxury asset value, according to the Knight Frank’s Wealth Report 2024.

The Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index fell 1% over the year, pulled down by falling values in rare whisky, classic cars, handbags and furniture. Meanwhile, art, jewellery and watches helped offset some of these falls.

But does this reveal a need for an ever more discerning approach from investors? Where should you store your wealth in 2024?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin speaks to Liam Bailey, Global Head of Research at Knight Frank for a look into luxury investment markets.

Singapore stocks were trading in negative territory today, following continued worries regarding US president-elect Donald Trump’s tariff threats.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) declined 0.4 per cent to 3,721.78 points after 27.3 million securities changed hands in the broader market.
