Singapore is proposing one of its biggest overhauls of road traffic laws in years. Under a new Bill, motorists caught holding a mobile phone while driving could face fines of up to $1,000, jail time, or both. The Government is also proposing lower legal alcohol limits and tougher penalties for drink driving offences.

Will harsher punishments be enough to change driver behaviour? Could the new rules create grey areas for motorists?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Kevin Liew, Head of Crime Practice at GJC Law, to break down what the proposed changes could mean for drivers and whether they'll make Singapore's roads safer.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh explore the rise of the 'full-time child', a growing trend in South Korea where adults live with their parents and contribute by running the household instead of earning a traditional salary.

As housing costs soar and stable jobs become harder to find, is this a practical new way of supporting the family, or simply unemployment with better branding? And with more young Singaporeans staying at home to save money, wait for their BTOs or care for ageing parents, are our ideas of adulthood beginning to change too?

A Teochew film has reignited Singapore's long-running debate over dialects and the conversation has now reached Parliament. Following the public response to Dear You, IMDA is reviewing its film classification framework for dialect films, while the Government says there is scope to expand the space for dialects, even as it continues to uphold the importance of Mandarin.

Is Singapore's language policy entering a new chapter? What prompted this shift after decades of dialect restrictions? And if dialects are given more space in our media landscape, what could that mean for culture, identity and the future of the Speak Mandarin Campaign?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Daniel Chan, Assistant Dean (Undergraduate Studies), Office of Programmes, at the NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, to find out more.
