Singapore is preparing new legislation that could introduce stronger safeguards for young users, including possible limits on daily usage, tougher age verification and restrictions on certain platform features. But with platforms potentially facing an 18-and-over age limit if they fail to comply, questions remain over enforcement, privacy and whether regulation can really change how young people use social media.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Professor Gemma Anne Calvert, Division of Marketing, Nanyang Business School, NTU Singapore and Deputy Director, Nanyang Centre for Marketing and Technology, to find out more.

The Big Story: Singapore wants less screen time for teens. Can a daily time limit work?

He has a stable job, a decent salary and no kids yet. So why not take a risk while he’s still young?

That’s what one listener wants to do. He’s in his late 20s, recently married and desperate to leave his job to pursue something he actually cares about. 

The problem? His wife doesn’t want him to quit. She’s planning to leave her own job next year, and with both of them potentially without stable incomes, she says their financial security has to come first.

So who’s being unreasonable? Is marriage about supporting your partner’s dreams, even when they come with serious financial risks? Or does getting married mean some dreams have to take a back seat to shared responsibilities?

On Your Agenda, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh unpack the ultimate question: Would you quit your stable job if your spouse told you not to?

Singapore is becoming a super-aged society, but keeping seniors active and healthy is only part of the challenge. How do we make sure different generations don’t end up living increasingly separate lives?

Sport could be one answer. A recent badminton event organized by ACDS brought together international champions, local youths and emerging talents, as well as adaptive athletes from Special Olympics Singapore and Team ABC, putting people of different ages and abilities on the same court.

But can sport really bridge Singapore’s generation and ability gaps? Or does bringing people together for a game only go so far?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr. Maliki Osman, former Member of Parliament and President of Antica Community Development and Services Limited, to find out more.

One line or two? A surprisingly heated debate over escalator etiquette in South Korea has people asking: should we stand on one side and leave the other clear, or should everyone simply stand in two lines?

And it turns out, escalators are just the beginning. From chope-ing tables with tissue packets and squeezing into queues, to giving up MRT seats and blocking pavements, Singapore has plenty of unwritten rules about how we’re supposed to behave in public.

But who actually decides what’s rude and are Singaporeans becoming less considerate?

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar get into the social etiquette debates that can turn a perfectly normal commute, queue or meal into a minor public showdown.
