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?

At the 2026 National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced plans to merge several southern islands,  including Pulau Semakau, Pulau Bukom and Pulau Sudong, to create a new Western island over the coming decades.

The island is envisioned as a future base for new industries, power-generation infrastructure and defence, potentially giving Singapore more room to prepare for its long-term energy and industrial needs.

So what could Singapore’s new Western island mean for our energy security and economy? And will this be an opportunity for Singapore to add nuclear power into its energy grids?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Tan-Soo Jie-Sheng, Director, Institute for Environment and Sustainability at Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University Singapore, to find out more.

He shared his Netflix account with a friend for what was supposed to be a temporary arrangement. Two years later, he’s still paying while his friend is watching more Netflix than he is.

So when he finally changed the password, his friend accused him of being petty and even threatened to end their friendship.

Was changing the password justified, or should he have had one final, direct conversation first? And when does a friend’s generosity stop being generosity and start feeling like an entitlement?

On Your Agenda, Hongbin Jeong and Singer-Songwriter, Sherman Zhuo unpack the Netflix drama.

Singapore has produced musicians who have made their mark both at home and on the international stage, but have we always been willing to support our own?

From the local pop stars of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s to a new generation of Gen Z listeners discovering homegrown music through TikTok, Instagram and streaming platforms, the way Singaporeans consume local music is changing.

So, are younger Singaporeans finally embracing homegrown artistes in a way previous generations didn't? Has social media made local music more accessible and could it be giving Singaporean musicians the audience they’ve always deserved?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Singaporean singer-songwriter Sherman Zhuo about whether Singapore is finally learning to appreciate its own music.
