The 2004 Sumatra earthquake and tsunami may feel like a distant memory, but new research suggests its impact is still unfolding right here in Singapore.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Grace Ng, Research Fellow at NTU's Earth Observatory of Singapore, about a new study showing that the earthquake caused Singapore's land to slowly sink for years afterwards.

What does this mean for a country that's already preparing for rising sea levels? Should Singaporeans be worried, or is this simply another factor scientists and policymakers need to account for? And could distant earthquakes reshape how Singapore plans for climate change and coastal resilience in the decades ahead?

The Big Story: Is Singapore slowly sinking? The hidden impact of the 2004 quake

US President Donald Trump says he wants to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un again, reviving memories of their headline-grabbing summits during Trump’s first term.

But despite three face-to-face meetings, including the historic 2018 summit in Singapore, the talks failed to produce a deal on North Korea’s nuclear program, while its nuclear capabilities have continued to grow.

Now, South Korea says it is willing to help facilitate renewed US-North Korea talks. So, could Trump and Kim actually make progress this time? 

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Cedomir Nestorovic, Professor of Geopolitics and International Marketing at ESSEC Business School, to find out.

Forget the impulse buys and YOLO spending, Singapore’s Gen Zs may be more financially savvy than we give them credit for.

A Visa survey found that 34% of Singaporean Gen Zs save whenever they can, while close to 40% are already putting money aside for major milestones like marriage and buying a home.

So, what’s behind this growing focus on financial planning at a younger age? Are Gen Zs simply becoming more financially responsible  or is the rising cost of living forcing them to think about adulthood earlier?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Beverly Poon, Associate Director, finexisadvisory, to find out more.
