Corporate burnout has become an increasingly common conversation among millennials, with more people questioning whether climbing the career ladder is worth sacrificing their wellbeing. For 36-year-old Puah Hui Ying, that question led her down a very different path.

After stepping away from a stable career in tech, she embarked on a 101-day solo cycling journey across Malaysia, Thailand, India, Laos and Vietnam in search of something that money couldn't buy. 

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Puah Hui Ying about what inspired her to leave the corporate world behind, what she learnt from cycling solo across five countries, and whether adventure can offer a different perspective on burnout, purpose and success.

The Agenda: Could this be the millennial escape from corporate burnout?

Autonomous vehicles are no longer a distant concept. Instead, they're becoming part of Singapore's transport future. As the industry evolves, the Government has introduced a new support package to help taxi and private-hire drivers prepare for what's next, through training opportunities, career guidance and pathways into new roles within the autonomous vehicle ecosystem.

But as drivers weigh the opportunities against concerns over income, job flexibility and career stability, an important question remains: will these measures be enough to bring them along for the transition?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Dr Chua Yeow Hwee, Assistant Professor in Economics at the Nanyang Technological University and Honorary Secretary of the Economics Society of Singapore,to find out more.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar dive into a tenant dispute in which a night-shift nurse had won her claim against her landlord, after they sought to restrict daytime aircon use.

While there were agreements in place to allow the use of aircon in the day, the increased electricity bills became a major concern for the landlord. But is it justifiable to cause a ruckus just because of increased costs? And so, the trio discusses what they would have done in the landlord's place and whether we truly need an air conditioner to survive in Singapore.

The fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran appears to be hanging by a thread. After fresh fighting erupted and Iranian attacks targeted commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump declared the agreement "over" and warned that American bombings would "get much worse" if Tehran failed to back down.

The latest exchange has seen US strikes on Iranian military targets met with retaliatory attacks on American military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait, raising fears of a wider regional conflict.

Are the two sides heading back to open conflict, or is this the latest round of brinkmanship before diplomacy resumes?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong and Dr James Dorsey, Adjunct Senior Fellow at Nanyang Technological University's S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, unpack what the latest escalation means for the Middle East, the global economy, and whether there's still any path back to peace.
