Singapore has vowed to use “every legal and regulatory lever” against companies linked to the haze, with 10 firms in Indonesia issued preventive measure notices under Singapore’s Transboundary Haze Pollution Act.

Several Singapore-listed companies have also come under scrutiny over their potential links to the fires, while authorities are examining whether companies could face consequences affecting their access to financing and government incentives.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law at Singapore Management University, about how far Singapore can go in holding haze-linked companies accountable, the legal challenges of enforcing its laws across borders, and whether this latest crackdown can help prevent future haze episodes.

Gen Z is often seen as a generation of digital natives who consume technology, but some are taking things a step further by creating their own inventions to solve real-world problems.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Nicolette Wong, inventor of mömigo and Singapore National Winner of the 2026 James Dyson Award, and Afham Shahril, co-inventor of JellyBot, about what it takes to turn an idea into reality, the challenges of becoming a young inventor, and whether Gen Z is becoming a generation of innovators.

Making friends as an adult isn’t always easy, so one Singaporean content creator is taking things back to the playground. Twenty-year-old Trevor, known as @trevuh2, has organised what he calls Singapore’s largest game of Duck, Duck, Goose, bringing strangers together to play, socialise and hopefully make new friends. 

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alex Parada discuss whether Singaporeans are unfriendly or simply hesitant to approach strangers, why adult friendships can be so difficult to form, and whether childhood games and organised meet-ups could help break the ice. Would you join a game with complete strangers, or would the awkwardness be too much?
