On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Jai Kishan as they discuss 'Tiktok acting' and whether social media has opened the door for a new style of performance that values relatability and authenticity over classical technique.

The Agenda: Are acting classes still needed in the era of 'TikTok acting'?

Singapore’s central bank is keeping monetary policy unchanged, even as it warns that inflation could remain elevated well into 2027 amid persistent energy price pressures linked to the Iran war.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Sheana Yue, Senior Economist for Macro Forecasting at Oxford Economics, to find out why the Monetary Authority of Singapore is holding its current stance, how much a stronger Singdollar can do to cushion rising import costs, and when consumers might see some relief.

With Singapore’s economy growing 5.4% year on year in the third quarter, largely driven by technology-related sectors, they also examine why strong economic growth may not translate into relief for households, and what lies ahead for inflation and the cost of living.

In a world of instant gratification, some young people are finding fulfilment in hobbies that demand time, patience and skill. From mechanical watchmaking to other traditional crafts, could a generation raised on speed be learning to slow down?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Tristan Ho, founder of Singaporean watch label LOTH, about his journey into horology while working full-time as a biomedical research assistant.

We explore what draws younger people to traditional crafts, whether these pursuits offer an alternative to the pressure for instant results, and what it takes to turn a slow-burning passion into a business.

Would you be allowed to work from Bali, Bangkok or even Singapore if your company says you can work from home?

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alexandra Parada discuss whether employees should be allowed to work remotely from another country, as long as they get the job done.

The conversation takes a turn with the case of an Australian currency trader who was fired after allegedly working from Singapore without his employer’s approval, despite being told he could not relocate there. He later won an unfair-dismissal case, although the commission found there were valid grounds for his dismissal and awarded him no compensation.
