For many Gen Zs, success today looks very different from previous generations. While financial security remains important, so do flexibility, purpose, experiences and work-life balance. At the same time, social media has amplified displays of wealth—from luxury lifestyles to six-figure salaries and "soft life" content—raising questions about whether wealth has become the new benchmark for success. 

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Timothy Ho, Co-founder & Managing Editor, DollarsAndSense to find out if Gen Zs still see wealth as the ultimate measure of success? Or are they redefining what it means to live a successful life?

The Agenda: Is wealth still a definitive sign of success for Gen Zs?

Scammers are getting smarter and Singapore is putting social media platforms on the hook.

From 2027, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok will have to verify advertisers, block ads from unlicensed financial services firms and remove suspected scam advertisements.

The rules come after the three platforms accounted for around 30% of all scam cases in Singapore in 2025. New safeguards will also apply to messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram, making it harder for unknown contacts to reach users.

So will these measures actually make it harder for scammers to target Singaporeans and where are the gaps?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Benjamin Ang, Head of the Centre of Excellence for National Security at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), to find out more.

Gen Z is rewriting the career playbook. Instead of sticking to one company and climbing the traditional corporate ladder, more young professionals are moving between roles, building side hustles and exploring multiple income streams, with flexibility and financial security high on the list.

New research by International Workplace Group found 43% of Gen Z professionals had changed roles two to three times in the past three years, while a third already have or are considering a side hustle. In Singapore, 32% are looking at a “hybrid career”.

With AI also expected to reshape careers, is having multiple income streams becoming a smarter way to future-proof your working life? Or could Gen Z be spreading themselves too thin?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Vijayakumar Tangarasan, Country Head for Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei, IWG, to find out more.
