Culture Club: Singapore’s upcoming fukusa exhibition

The United States and Iran say they have reached a framework agreement to end their conflict, lift the US blockade on Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route. The preliminary pact, brokered with the help of Pakistan, has already sent oil prices lower and raised hopes of a broader de-escalation in the Middle East.

But while both sides are hailing the breakthrough, major questions remain unresolved, most notably the future of Iran's nuclear programme. With a memorandum of understanding expected to be formally signed in Switzerland on Jun 19, is this the beginning of a lasting peace between Washington and Tehran? And what could the agreement mean for global energy markets, regional stability and the balance of power in the Middle East?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Jessica Genauer, Academic Director of the Public Policy Institute & Associate Professor, International Relations, University of New South Wales, to find out more.

Essential work is everywhere, but most of us barely notice it until something goes wrong. The people cleaning hospitals, maintaining buildings, preparing meals, managing facilities and keeping workplaces running are part of the invisible backbone of society.

But as Singapore moves towards becoming a super-aged nation, these industries are facing a growing challenge. Younger workers are increasingly drawn to careers in tech, finance and the digital economy, while essential services struggle with perceptions around prestige, progression and purpose.

So how do you build a workforce where four generations can work side by side? And can industries often seen as ‘behind-the-scenes’ become attractive again to younger Singaporeans?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Jaspreet Kaur, Director, Brand, CSR & Innovation, Sodexo Malaysia & Singapore, to find out more.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nazirul Asrar dives into a renovation story that got our eyebrows all perked up.

A Singaporean couple had spent over $500,000 in order to turn their home that gives off a luxurious high-end hotel vibe. With that much money spent on designing an ideal home, the duo discusses whether that amount is too much money spent on home renovations and how they would go about designing their ideal homes, if they were given the same budget.
