When we think about drug discovery, the words fast and efficient don’t usually come to mind - but a Singapore-based biotech startup is challenging that reality.

Nanyang Biologics is harnessing the power of AI and an extensive library of tropical bioactives to accelerate how we discover new treatments, not just for humans, but for animals too.

So how are they doing it?

On the Right Business, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Giang Nyugen, Chief Technology Officer of Nanyang Biologics (NYB), to find out more.

Right Business: How Nanyang Biologics is improving drug discovery using AI

The ongoing Middle East conflict is sending shockwaves through global energy markets, and Singapore is feeling the heat. Fuel prices are climbing, food costs are rising, and businesses are bracing for ripple effects.

On The Big Story, Debbie Yong speaks with Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law at Singapore Management University, about Singapore’s response.

We unpack the newly formed Homefront Crisis Ministerial Committee, what it aims to tackle, why the government has taken a measured approach on energy use, and how households and businesses might be supported.

How effective will the HCMC be? Could households and businesses face tougher choices ahead? And what signals should we watch to know whether Singapore is truly prepared for future energy challenges?

Earnings are still holding up, but the era of broad beats and easy momentum may be fading. Mega-cap tech is still leading, but the gap is narrowing, AI spending is surging but becoming more uneven, and investors are getting far more selective about what they reward.

So are we at an inflection point, from momentum-driven gains to a market that cares more about valuations, quality, and fundamentals? And could that mean a comeback for GARP investing?

On Wealth Tracker, Debbie Yong speaks to Rahul Ghosh, Portfolio Specialist in Equity Division, T. Rowe Price, to find out more.

What would you do if you spotted a strange, electric-blue creature on a beach in Singapore and had no idea if it was harmless… or venomous? That moment of curiosity (and mild panic) is exactly what inspired a new project people are calling a 'Singapore Pokedex', a fast, visual wildlife guide designed to help everyday people identify real animals in real time. 

On What's Trending, Debbie Yong and Nadiah Koh explore how this simple idea is trying to close that gap — turning hikes into discovery, and making biodiversity accessible, visual and actually useful. 

Then, we shift gears from nature to one of the fastest-growing fitness phenomena in the world: HYROX.

What looks like a brutal race of running and workouts is actually something much bigger — a global business pulling in millions, attracting tens of thousands of competitors, and turning fitness into a full-blown ecosystem. From entry fees to sponsorships, gyms to tourism, HYROX is redefining how people train, travel and spend.
