Haze is creeping back into the region, with parts of Malaysia already recording unhealthy air quality readings as dry conditions persist.

With the risk of transboundary haze rising, what could this mean for Singapore in the weeks ahead? And how serious could the situation become if the dry weather continues?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Professor Steve Yim, Director of the Centre for Climate Change and Environmental Health at Nanyang Technological University, about what is driving the deteriorating air quality, how haze could travel across the region, and what Singapore should be watching for next.

The Big Story: Worsening haze has hit parts of Malaysia. Should Singapore be worried?

For generations, luxury has been closely tied to status — the brands we wear, the cars we drive and the places we stay. But younger consumers are changing the equation, placing greater emphasis on personal value, authenticity and experiences that feel uniquely their own. Gen Z is showing that luxury doesn't necessarily have to be something you can take home. With social media making once-exclusive experiences increasingly accessible, what actually makes something feel special anymore?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Kevin Ou, Co-founder & Chief Experiences Officer, Amber Experiences to find out whether young Singaporeans still chase after luxury experiences today.

Singapore’s rules on how much floor space developers can build could be getting a rethink.

The URA is reviewing its gross floor area guidelines to give developers more flexibility in how they design and use buildings, while also encouraging features that improve heat resilience and thermal comfort.

So what could the review mean for Singapore’s property market, ageing buildings and the future of the CBD? And could greater flexibility make it easier to preserve heritage buildings while still making redevelopment commercially viable?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Sing Tien Foo, Provost's Chair Professor in the Department of Real Estate, Business School, National University of Singapore, to find out more.

From blasting TikTok videos without earphones to putting your feet on the seat, we’ve all encountered that bus commuter. But from September 23, some of these behaviours could actually land you with a fine of up to $500.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alexandra Parada look at Singapore’s new rules for public buses, bus interchanges and terminals, what behaviours are covered, who can issue an offence notification, and where the line should be drawn between being inconsiderate and committing an offence.

Could the new rules make public transport more pleasant, or will commuters end up policing one another? And what other bus behaviours do you think should be fine-worthy?
