Jalan Besar is home to residents from all walks of life, from young families and working adults to seniors who have lived in the neighbourhood for decades. As communities become more diverse and fast-paced, creating meaningful opportunities for different generations to connect has become increasingly important.

Through initiatives such as family carnivals, volunteer programmes and the Horizons @ Jalan Besar masterplan, the GRC is finding new ways to bring residents together. So how do you build a neighbourhood where people of all ages don't just live alongside one another, but genuinely connect?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Shawn Loh, MP for Jalan Besar GRC, to find out more.

The Agenda: How Jalan Besar's community initiatives bridge the generation gap today

What happens when a career you've spent decades building suddenly comes to an end?

Edgar Tang was retrenched at 50 after four and a half years at a multinational entertainment company. Instead of simply trying to return to his old career, he began documenting what it takes to rebuild his career, confidence and identity after 50.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with content creator Edgar Tang (@edgarafter50) as he shares why retrenchment can hit differently later in life, whether decades of experience can actually work against older jobseekers, and what it takes to reinvent yourself when you're caught between being “too old to hire” and “too young to retire”.

More than 200 members of Singapore’s legal fraternity gathered behind closed doors to debate the Law Society’s handling of an internal audit that found “significant failings” in leadership, workplace culture and governance.

With more than 100 lawyers calling for the full report to be released, questions are growing over what the summary leaves out, whether the investigation was sufficiently independent, and whether this has become a crisis of confidence in the Law Society’s leadership.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Clarence Lun, Managing Director at Fervent Chambers LLC, to share more.

You say “PayWave”, but would someone overseas actually know what you mean?

The term came from Visa's branding for contactless payments, yet Singaporeans have embraced it so completely that we use it for almost any tap-to-pay transaction, even when we're using Mastercard, American Express or Apple Pay.

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar look at how “PayWave” became such a Singaporean staple.

And it doesn't stop at PayWave. From “kopitiam” to "Grab” and “Panadol”, are Singaporeans just really good at turning brand names and borrowed words into everyday language?
