We’ve seen growing conversation around work culture, especially with the global shift toward a shorter workweek. Countries like the US, UK, and New Zealand have already piloted programs to explore the viability of a four-day workweek.

On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Kurt Wee, CEO, Celligenics and Sriram Iyer, Founder & CEO of hrtech to find out.

Singapore stocks began the day trading in negative territory as markets abroad mostly posted losses overnight.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) was down 0.3 per cent at 3,726.33 points after 42.3 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch today, we have ComfortDelGro. The transport giant’s net profit grew 15.2 per cent to S$57.5 million for its third quarter ended September, as revenue rose by 18.4 per cent to S$1.2 billion.

Elsewhere, from more on China’s retail sales growing at its fastest clip since the start of the year, to how US automakers fell earlier on the back of a report that US President-elect Donald Trump plans to eliminate a key consumer tax credit aimed at boosting electric vehicle adoption – more international and corporate headlines remain in focus. 

On Market View, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Too Jun Cheong, Assistant Dealing Manager from Moomoo Singapore.
