The People’s Action Party (PAP) has re-elected all 14 members of its previous Central Executive Committee (CEC), with no new faces elected to its top decision-making body.

The results come as the party continues to navigate leadership renewal, following a Cabinet reshuffle in July that saw younger political office-holders take on greater responsibilities.

So what does the outcome say about the PAP’s leadership renewal and what can we expect from its next generation of leaders?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Dr Gillian Koh, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies, National University of Singapore, to unpack what the results reveal about the party’s internal dynamics and the road ahead for its next generation of leaders.

The Big Story: No new faces in PAP's top leadership. What does this mean for its next generation?

As people grow older, health setbacks and changes in their physical and cognitive abilities can bring unexpected challenges. But for some, ageing does not mean giving up the things they love or stepping back from life.

At 76, Esther Sim has battled breast cancer three times, recovered from a serious back injury and is now navigating pre-dementia. Despite these challenges, she continues to paddle with a dragon boat team and give back to the community.

So what does it take to stay resilient in the face of life's uncertainties, and how can older adults adapt when life takes an unexpected turn?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Esther Sim, breast cancer survivor and member of the Breast Cancer Foundation's Paddlers in the Pink dragon boat team, about navigating life's challenges and finding the strength to keep going.

Singapore’s Beverage Container Return Scheme offers a 10-cent refund for every eligible plastic bottle or drink can returned.

But one Singaporean has taken things to another level, bringing a plastic bottle along on a two-week trip to Taiwan before bringing it back to Singapore to claim his refund.

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Alexandra Parada discuss whether the scheme is changing Singaporeans’ recycling habits and if that 10-cent deposit is making us think twice before throwing away an empty bottle or can.

Gen Z is increasingly taking an interest in birdwatching, turning to nature as a way to unwind and explore Singapore’s biodiversity and connect with like-minded enthusiasts.

Social media, online bird-sighting communities and more accessible photography equipment have also made it easier for young people to pick up the hobby and share their discoveries.

So why are more young people taking up birdwatching and what is drawing Gen Z to a hobby traditionally associated with older generations?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Raghav Narayanswamy, Vice President of the Bird Society of Singapore, who first took up birdwatching at the age of 13, on why the hobby is gaining traction among his generation.
