A new era begins in Syria. Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president who inherited power in 2000 with promises of reform, only to brutally suppress his opponents in a war that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, has been toppled in a lightning rebel advance.

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

The Big Story: With Syria's Assad gone, what does it mean for the Middle East & the world?

Despite earning higher salaries than previous generations, many young Singaporeans still don't feel financially secure. From shrinking purchasing power and salary increments that struggle to keep pace with rising costs, to lifestyle inflation, many hidden pressures are shaping the financial reality of young Millennials and Gen Zs.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Kelvin Hong, Founder of The Economics Tutor to learn what it takes to build financial resilience in an economy where a bigger pay cheque no longer guarantees peace of mind.

Singapore's collective sale rules could be set for their biggest overhaul in nearly 30 years. Under proposed changes by the Ministry of Law, the consent threshold for en bloc sales would be lowered from 80% to 70% for private developments aged 40 to 59 years, and to 65% for those 60 years and older. At the same time, new safeguards aim to better protect minority owners through higher compensation caps, shorter signature collection periods and stricter limits on repeated failed sale attempts.

Will these changes finally breathe new life into Singapore's en bloc market after years of sluggish activity? Which ageing developments could now become viable for redevelopment, and will the reforms translate into more housing supply and help moderate private home prices?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Nicholas Mak, Chief Research Officer at MOGUL.sg, to find out more.
