The Agenda: Why Singapore still needs its dedicated youth spaces

From 5 October 2026, buying shares in some of Singapore's biggest companies will require a much smaller upfront investment, as SGX reduces the minimum board lot size for higher-priced stocks. 

The move is expected to make blue-chip stocks like DBS, OCBC and UOB more accessible to retail investors, but what does it really mean for the market? Could it encourage more Singaporeans to start investing, improve market liquidity, and strengthen SGX's competitiveness? Or does a lower entry cost also come with new risks?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Bliss Chang, Senior Vice President of Securities Market & Depository, SGX Group, to find out more.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar dive into the long queues for NDP tickets down at Marina Square. 

Netizens had taken to social media to complain about the hours-long wait to collect their NDP tickets, while showing the snaking queues that had formed. Many questioned why was it so disorganised and whether a better solution, such as QR codes, could be implemented to facilitate a smoother collection process.

So the trio discusses whether Singaporeans should complain about the long queues when the NDP tickets are free, and if they would brave the queues themselves if they were in that position.

Buy Now, Pay Later has become one of the fastest-growing ways to shop, especially among young Singaporeans. For some, it's a flexible way to spread out payments and manage cash flow. For others, it's making impulse spending easier than ever.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Ben Charoenwong, Associate Professor of Finance at INSEAD and an affiliated faculty member with the Asian Institute of Digital Finance and the NUS FinTech Lab, to explore how BNPL is changing the way young people think about money, budgeting and debt.

Is it encouraging financial irresponsibility, or is it simply a modern payment tool that's being unfairly blamed? They examine the benefits, the risks, and whether the real issue lies with the platforms or with our spending habits.
