Singapore is a nation that celebrates excellence, be it in academics, innovation, and global business. But when it comes to sports, are we doing enough to show our support?

On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Brandon Ooi, Singapore’s Canoe Sprint Athlete and Dr Valerie Teo, President of Singapore Bowling Federation, to discuss whether Singaporean athletes are truly underappreciated.

As more Singaporeans approach retirement age, some are finding ways to stay in the workforce without committing to another full-time role.

Changi Airport has been named the World’s Best Airport for a record 14th time, but one tourist’s complaint about its carpeted floors has sparked a debate online.
