The Agenda: What it takes to be a young mum in 2026?

A rare red alert has been issued over the risk of severe haze in Southeast Asia, with experts warning that the region could face one of its hottest and driest periods on record in the months ahead.

The concern is that a strengthening El Niño, possibly coupled with another climate phenomenon known as the Indian Ocean Dipole, could create the conditions for widespread fires and transboundary haze, drawing comparisons to some of the region's worst haze episodes in recent memory.

At the same time, economic pressures, rising biofuel demand and questions over fire prevention efforts are adding to the risk.

To help us understand what lies ahead and how concerned Singaporeans should be, Steve Yim, Director at Centre for Climate Change and Environmental Health (CCEH), Professor at the Asian School of the Environment and Professor at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, joins Hongbin Jeong on The Big Story.

The Big Story: A rare haze red alert issued. How worried should we be?

A love for music can start with a song playing at home, a parent strumming a guitar, or simply watching someone do what they love. But when a child discovers that same passion, does it naturally become part of who they are too?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong is joined by a father-daughter duo who share more than just family ties - they share a love for music. From busking on the streets to creating songs together in the studio, their journey shows how a passion can be passed down, nurtured, and transformed across generations.

So what role do parents really play in shaping a child's interests? And how can they encourage a passion without steering it?

Meet songwriter Eric Ng and his daughter Lyla Ng.

Imagine being handed a giant sack and told: "Fill it with as many durians as you can for RM100." That's exactly what's happening in Malaysia, where a bumper harvest has triggered a full-blown "durian tsunami", sending prices crashing to some of the lowest levels in years.

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh dive into the viral videos of shoppers hauling away overflowing sacks of durians, unpack why durian prices have collapsed across Malaysia, and ask whether Singaporeans will see similar bargains. Plus, they look at a Tampines stall that's giving away up to 1,000kg of free durians every day.
