On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Sam Neo, Founder of Stories of Asia to find out more.

The Big Story: A tighter job market and selective employers. What does this mean for Singapore’s graduates

A man missed the birth of his second child after choosing to attend an important client meeting while his wife was in labour. He says his supervisor pressured him to prioritise work, warning that missing the meeting could affect his performance and promotion prospects. The next morning, he went to work — only to return to the hospital after 20 missed calls and discover that his son had already been born. Now, with his wife refusing to see him and his father-in-law blaming him for not being there, he is left questioning whether he made the wrong choice. 

On Your Agenda, Hongbin Jeong and content creator Fauzi Azzhar dives into this story submission and weighs the decision made by the man.

Singaporeans love a good home renovation, but how kaypoh is too kaypoh?

A property agent has taken to social media to question whether walking into someone’s home while it’s being renovated has become the norm.

The post sparked debate after several neighbours allegedly entered a house undergoing renovation, taking photos and checking out everything from the kitchen to the ceiling, apparently without permission. So why are we so fascinated by other people’s homes? Would you sneak a peek if your neighbour’s door was open? 

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar get into the debate and ask where we draw the line between being curious and being downright kaypoh.
