Trump has rejected Iran’s latest peace response as 'unacceptable', raising fresh doubts over whether diplomacy can cool a conflict that is already disrupting global energy flows and driving up prices. 

In Southeast Asia, ASEAN is now under pressure to respond, with leaders floating ideas like regional fuel stockpiles, food reserves and faster crisis coordination. But with long-standing agreements still unevenly implemented and domestic priorities often taking precedence, can these proposals move from discussion to real-world action in time to matter?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Cedomir Nestorovic, Professor of Geopolitics, ESSEC Business School, Asia-Pacific, to find out more.

The Big Story: Is Trump’s rejection of Iran’s peace proposal deepening the crisis and can ASEAN’s resilience plans keep up with the fallout?

Singapore is investing heavily in its water future, with a new S$97 million commitment aimed at strengthening the nation’s water capabilities amid rising demand, climate uncertainty and a growing population.

Announced at the Singapore International Water Week, the investment will support efforts to improve water efficiency, develop advanced treatment technologies and meet the needs of high-growth industries such as data centres and semiconductor manufacturing. It also comes as major infrastructure projects, including the newly completed Tengah Service Reservoir, begin to play a bigger role in securing Singapore’s water supply.

As water challenges intensify around the world, could innovation in water technology become one of Singapore’s greatest strategic advantages? And how can the nation continue to keep water secure, affordable and reliable for generations to come?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Ong Tze Chin, Chief Executive of PUB, to find out more.

Would you shop on a fake online store if it gave you all the excitement of buying something… without actually spending any money?

A new trend from South Korea is turning heads online. Known as "dopamine sites", these fake shopping and food delivery platforms let users browse products, fill up carts, compare deals, place orders and even track deliveries — except nothing ever arrives and no money changes hands.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar explore the psychology behind dopamine sites, why they're becoming popular among younger consumers facing economic pressures, and whether pretending to shop can actually help people save money. Plus, we ask the bigger question: are we addicted to the things we buy, or the rush of buying them?

Most workplaces say they want employees who speak up — people who challenge ideas, raise concerns and offer honest feedback. But in reality, many workers choose to stay silent. Is that a sign of disengagement, or simply a rational response to workplace culture?

A recent debate has reignited questions about why some employees hesitate to voice their opinions. While younger workers are increasingly encouraged to be authentic, vocal and challenge the status quo, older generations were often taught to respect hierarchy and avoid conflict.

So when is speaking up the right move? How can employees raise concerns without damaging relationships or career prospects? 

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Crystal Lim-Lange, Co-Founder of Deep Human Club and Forest Wolf, to find out more.
