On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Kelvin Hong, Founder of The Economics Tutor to learn what it takes to build financial resilience in an economy where a bigger pay cheque no longer guarantees peace of mind.

The Agenda: Why young Singaporeans are earning more but feeling poorer

Sentosa Cove was once synonymous with Singapore’s luxury property market. But today, its high-end homes are proving harder to sell at a profit.

New data shows that nearly two-thirds of resale transactions between May 2023 and June 2026 ended in losses, while gains among profitable deals have fallen sharply. Landed homes have held up better than condominiums, but they too are facing pricing pressures. With fewer buyers, higher costs for foreign purchasers and ageing leasehold properties adding to the challenges, is Sentosa Cove losing its appeal?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Alan Cheong, Executive Director of Research and Consultancy, Savills to find out more.

What if you could try a career before committing to it?

Under the new SG Youth Plan, young Singaporeans will have access to “job tasters”, short-term experiences ranging from a few hours to a few weeks, designed to give them a real-world look at different careers and workplaces.

But can a short stint really tell you whether a career is right for you? And once the experience is over, what support do young people need to turn that taste into a meaningful career decision?

We speak to Clarence Ching, Founder and Executive Director of Access Singapore, about whether job tasters can help young people make more informed choices and what needs to happen beyond the first taste.
