Dr Faishal Ibrahim’s resignation has put Singapore’s political leadership renewal back in the spotlight.

With two experienced 4G political office holders stepping down in just weeks, could this bring forward Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s Cabinet reshuffle? How will the PAP balance the need for experienced leadership with the push to develop its next generation of 5G leaders? And what does Dr Faishal’s departure mean for Malay/Muslim representation at the highest levels of government?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law at SMU’s Yong Pung How School of Law, to unpack the political implications, succession challenges and what to watch for next.

The Big Story: Could Faishal Ibrahim's resignation trigger an early Cabinet reshuffle?

At the 2026 National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced plans to merge several southern islands,  including Pulau Semakau, Pulau Bukom and Pulau Sudong, to create a new Western island over the coming decades.

The island is envisioned as a future base for new industries, power-generation infrastructure and defence, potentially giving Singapore more room to prepare for its long-term energy and industrial needs.

So what could Singapore’s new Western island mean for our energy security and economy? And will this be an opportunity for Singapore to add nuclear power into its energy grids?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Tan-Soo Jie-Sheng, Director, Institute for Environment and Sustainability at Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University Singapore, to find out more.

He shared his Netflix account with a friend for what was supposed to be a temporary arrangement. Two years later, he’s still paying while his friend is watching more Netflix than he is.

So when he finally changed the password, his friend accused him of being petty and even threatened to end their friendship.

Was changing the password justified, or should he have had one final, direct conversation first? And when does a friend’s generosity stop being generosity and start feeling like an entitlement?

On Your Agenda, Hongbin Jeong and Singer-Songwriter, Sherman Zhuo unpack the Netflix drama.

Singapore has produced musicians who have made their mark both at home and on the international stage, but have we always been willing to support our own?

From the local pop stars of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s to a new generation of Gen Z listeners discovering homegrown music through TikTok, Instagram and streaming platforms, the way Singaporeans consume local music is changing.

So, are younger Singaporeans finally embracing homegrown artistes in a way previous generations didn't? Has social media made local music more accessible and could it be giving Singaporean musicians the audience they’ve always deserved?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Singaporean singer-songwriter Sherman Zhuo about whether Singapore is finally learning to appreciate its own music.
