Wealth Tracker: Will a stronger-for-longer US dollar put more pressure on Asian currencies? 

On Your Agenda, Hongbin Jeong unpacks a listener's workplace dilemma that's sparked plenty of debate. An employee at a Singapore startup says her HR, operations and marketing role slowly turned into housekeeping too, from scrubbing office floors to being blamed for a dirty milk frother on her day off.

Singapore's economy grew 5.7% in the second quarter, but the pace has started to ease as growth becomes increasingly uneven across different sectors.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Tay Qi Hang, Asia Analyst, Economist Intelligence Unit, to find out more.

For many Gen Zs, success today looks very different from previous generations. While financial security remains important, so do flexibility, purpose, experiences and work-life balance. At the same time, social media has amplified displays of wealth—from luxury lifestyles to six-figure salaries and "soft life" content—raising questions about whether wealth has become the new benchmark for success. 

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Timothy Ho, Co-founder & Managing Editor, DollarsAndSense to find out if Gen Zs still see wealth as the ultimate measure of success? Or are they redefining what it means to live a successful life?
