In the Spotlight: Why rent-a-tech concept is gaining traction in Singapore?

The United States has once again pressed pause on the conflict.

Just as the ceasefire with Iran was approaching its expiry, US President Donald Trump moved to extend it indefinitely at the last minute.

But with no confirmed agreement from Tehran and continued US military pressure, uncertainty remains over whether this signals a genuine shift toward de-escalation, or a temporary holding pattern in an ongoing confrontation.

So is this extension a meaningful turning point in US-Iran relations? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Associate Professor Jessica Genauer, Academic Director of the Public Policy Institute at the University of New South Wales, to find out more.

Singapore’s private housing market is hitting new highs, but the buyers driving this surge might surprise you. 

Demand remains resilient, fuelled in part by a growing group known as DINKs—dual-income couples with no kids—who have both the financial flexibility and appetite to upgrade.

According to a recent survey by PropertyGuru, many of these higher-income households are planning to enter the market within the next 12 to 18 months.

So what does this mean for the future of Singapore’s property market? Are DINKs becoming the new backbone of demand? And if so, how sustainable is this trend?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Nicholas Mak, Chief Research Officer, mogul.sg, to find out more.

What if you got paid to look for love… and paid to stay home when it rains? On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh dive into Japan’s Kochi Prefecture, where local authorities are stepping in to tackle a shrinking population in an unexpected way by subsidizing dating apps. 

Over in China, a snack company in Hunan province has gone viral for something just as unusual, 'rainy day leave'. Through a company lottery, employees won perks ranging from umbrellas and appliances to commuting subsidies… and even seven days of fully paid leave that can be used whenever it rains.
