Recently, we’ve seen several political figures stand on trial, from Former transport minister S. Iswaran to the leader of the Opposition party Pritam Singh.

But while we see footage of these political figures entering and leaving the courthouse, we don’t see them inside the courtroom. 

So, when it comes to trials of political figures, should such hearings be livestreamed? 

On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Jonathan Phipps, Partner, IRB Law LLP and Raphael Louis, Advocate and Solicitor as well as Managing Director, Ray Louis to find out.

The Hot Seat: Should court hearings of political figures be live-streamed?

Singapore’s labour market has remained relatively resilient, with unemployment staying low in recent years. But beneath that stability, concerns are growing among professionals, managers and executives (PMEs) about job security, restructuring, and the impact of AI on white-collar work.

Last year, NTUC handled more than 3,900 PME retrenchment and termination cases — a 5% increase from the year before — with many linked to offshoring, restructuring, and technological disruption.

So today, we explore why more PMEs are turning to unions for support, and whether professionals are becoming more vulnerable in an evolving economy.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Patrick Tay, Assistant Secretary-General, NTUC and Elected Member of Parliament, Pioneer SMC, to find out more.

The Big Story: Retrenched and looking for help? More professionals are turning to unions

When we talk about ageing, the focus is often on visible changes like mobility, retirement, or healthcare. But one of the most common yet overlooked challenges older adults face is hearing loss. It doesn’t just affect hearing, it can quietly reshape conversations, relationships, confidence and even a person's sense of identity.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong explores what it means for a father and daughter to navigate hearing loss together across two generations, and two very different perspectives on vulnerability, independence, and asking for help.

Joining the conversation are Mohamed Shah, an Oticon Zeal user who has lived with hearing loss for years, and his daughter, Sadrina Shah, a Senior Clinical Audiologist at Oticon Singapore.
