On this month’s The Peak special on The Right Business, we spotlight a story rooted in paper, thread, and purpose.

Yang Shihui, founder of Based Book Arts, is one of the last practicing bookbinders in Singapore, and she’s quietly building a business around a dying craft.

From running intimate bookmaking workshops to taking on bespoke commissions, Yang’s work is a form of quiet resistance against digital fatigue and mass production.

On The Right Business, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Zat, Editor-in-Chief, The Peak Singapore, on why Based Book Arts is a compelling example of how tradition and entrepreneurship can meaningfully coexist.

Right Business: What it takes to build a creative business around a dying craft

The June holidays have begun and many parents are likely going through a familiar challenge — managing their children's screen time.

But for Gen Alpha, the digital world isn't just a place to pass the time. It's where they learn, play, socialise and increasingly, shape their understanding of the world. Today's children are navigating an online landscape that is vastly different from anything previous generations experienced.

However, the use of technology also comes with plenty of risks.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Pamela Ong, Country Manager, Singapore and Asia at ESET to learn how parents can protect their children from the online dangers, And whether is it still only about limiting our children’s screen time in today’s setting.

The United States is proposing a new 12.5 percent tariff on imports linked to so-called “forced labour goods”, under Section 301 of its Trade Act.

This significant measure could affect approximately one-third of Singapore’s domestic exports to the US. While Singapore has reiterated that it does not condone forced labour and finds no evidence of such practices within its supply chains, the nation continues to engage with the US on this developing matter.

So what exactly does this tariff mean in practice? And what could this mean for businesses and trade ties between Singapore and the US moving forward?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Kevin Chen, Associate Research Fellow with the US Programme, Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies at S Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) to find out more.
