Singapore’s CFOs are most primed globally to lead ESG initiatives

Singapore’s tourism sector has bounced back strongly in 2025, with tourism receipts hitting a record S$23.9 billion in the first three quarters—a year-on-year growth of over 6%. International visitor arrivals reached around 16.9 million, slightly below earlier forecasts, according to the Singapore Tourism Board.

What’s fueling this robust performance? Is it a short-term rebound, or a sign of longer-term growth for the sector? And what does this mean for Singapore’s tourism outlook in 2026 and beyond?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Christopher Khoo, Managing Director of MasterConsult Services, to unpack the trends shaping Singapore’s tourism industry and what they mean for businesses, travellers, and the economy.

Investing has never been more accessible. Across Asia, digital platforms and zero-commission trading have put the markets in the hands of millions of DIY investors.

But greater access doesn’t always translate into better returns. Studies show that many DIY investors underperform the benchmarks, even with a wealth of tools and information at their fingertips.

So what’s really behind the gap? Are common mistakes, behavioral biases, or social media trends holding investors back? And how can you shift from reactive, transactional trading to building long-term wealth?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Polka Mishra, Partner at Javelin Wealth Management, to find out more.

On today’s episode of What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Alexandra Parada explore the bizarre new social platform Moltbook, where 1.4 million AI agents post, debate, and even comfort each other without a single human in sight. They unpack what it means to watch digital minds interact, the eerie hive-mind-like behavior of these bots, and why humans might be quietly losing skills as AI takes over more of our thinking.

Leaving the world of AI behind, they turn to a more familiar battleground: Pepsi vs. Coca‑Cola. From the legendary Pepsi Challenge to a cheeky new Super Bowl ad where Coke’s iconic polar bear picks Pepsi, we unpack the ads, the rivalry, and the fast-growing market numbers shaking up the cola wars.
