Gen Z is often seen as a generation of digital natives who consume technology, but some are taking things a step further by creating their own inventions to solve real-world problems.

From mömigo, a reusable breastmilk storage and feeding system inspired by the challenges of breastfeeding on the go, to JellyBot, an underwater robot designed to monitor coral reefs with less disruption to marine life, these inventions show how everyday problems can spark new ideas.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Nicolette Wong, inventor of mömigo and Singapore National Winner of the 2026 James Dyson Award, and Afham Shahril, co-inventor of JellyBot, about what it takes to turn an idea into reality, the challenges of becoming a young inventor, and whether Gen Z is becoming a generation of innovators.

Making friends as an adult isn’t always easy, so one Singaporean content creator is taking things back to the playground. Twenty-year-old Trevor, known as @trevuh2, has organised what he calls Singapore’s largest game of Duck, Duck, Goose, bringing strangers together to play, socialise and hopefully make new friends. 

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alex Parada discuss whether Singaporeans are unfriendly or simply hesitant to approach strangers, why adult friendships can be so difficult to form, and whether childhood games and organised meet-ups could help break the ice. Would you join a game with complete strangers, or would the awkwardness be too much?

Nearly 8 in 10 buyers of new private property launches took out loans of at least $1 million in the first half of 2026, double the proportion in 2021. Yet mortgagee-sale listings have also hit their highest half-yearly level since 2021

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Clive Chng, Associate Director at Redbrick Mortgage Advisory, to find out why buyers are borrowing a smaller proportion of their property’s value, what’s driving the rise in mortgagee sales, and whether financial risks are building beneath Singapore’s property market.
