Singapore’s traffic is about to get a little more expensive. From January, ERP rates at four expressway gantries will go up, while six other locations will see temporary reductions over the year-end school holidays. The Land Transport Authority says these changes are aimed at managing congestion where traffic has been building up.

But will higher ERP rates really ease the jams, or do drivers just get used to them over time? And are these changes fair to commuters?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Terence Fan, Assistant Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship (Education); Academic Director, Accreditation, Singapore Management University, to find out more.

The Big Story: ERP rates to go up by $1 at 4 locations from Jan 2- Can higher ERP truly tame peak-hour congestion?

The US and Iran have traded their biggest barrage since July, with Washington striking targets along Iran’s southern coast and Tehran retaliating against US-linked military positions across the Middle East. The latest escalation has raised fresh fears that a conflict that has already dragged on for months could spiral into a much wider regional war.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has suggested renaming the Strait of Hormuz as 'Trump Strait', asserting US control of the vital waterway even as fighting raged there with Iran.

So what exactly happened in the latest exchange? How far could Iran’s retaliation go? And with the US midterm elections looming, how much longer can Washington afford to keep fighting?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr James M. Dorsey, Adjunct Senior Fellow at Nanyang Technological University's S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, to find out more.

What’s the furthest you’ve ever gone to satisfy a food craving? Maybe you’ve paid an eye-watering $20 for islandwide delivery... but would you actually fly to another country for it?

That’s apparently what happened when a Meituan delivery rider was spotted at Hong Lim Curry Puff in Singapore, picking up an order worth just S$13.50. The bizarre part? The rider had reportedly flown in from China, on a flight costing around S$455, just to collect the curry puffs.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar break down the strange story and ask the more important question: how much would YOU be willing to pay to get your favourite food? And at what point does a food craving become a full-blown pilgrimage?
