According to a bill submitted to parliament this week, Singapore is proposing to hold “dangerous offenders” indefinitely, even after they complete their jail sentences. 

Called the Sentence for Enhanced Public Protection (Sepp), it was introduced as part of the Criminal Procedure (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. So why has such a sentencing regime been proposed only now? 

Stefanie Yuen Thio, Joint Managing Partner, TSMP Law Corporation shares her views.

While a stronger Singdollar makes overseas travel and imports cheaper, not every business is celebrating. From retailers and restaurants losing customers to cross-border spending, to importers benefiting from lower costs, the impact is far from equal.

So who's winning, who's losing, and could an even stronger Singapore dollar create new challenges for businesses, tourism and exporters? We break down the trade-offs behind Singapore's strong currency and what it means for businesses and consumers in the months ahead.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Ang Yuit, president of the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises, to unpack what a stronger Singapore dollar really means for Singapore's economy.

For years, Singapore's music industry has been seen as too small, too risky, and too difficult to build a sustainable career in. But a new generation of entrepreneurs and artists is challenging that narrative by creating opportunities instead of waiting for them.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dominic Yuan, founder of PARKA, the independent music label he launched while still in university.

Dominic shares why he took the leap into building a record label at such a young age, the biggest challenges facing emerging Singaporean artists, and whether it's finally possible to build a successful music career without leaving the country. As more local talent gains international attention, is Singapore's music scene entering a new era?

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh put listeners' vocal cords to the test after an Australian man smashed the Guinness World Record for the loudest shout ever recorded with a thunderous 122.4-decibel yell of the word "NOW!".

The duo breaks down what it actually takes to turn shouting into a world record, from acoustic engineers and official witnesses to seven exhausting attempts that left the record-holder without a voice for days. They also explore why "NOW!" turned out to be the loudest word, whether anyone could beat the record, and why the champion's day job as a town crier may have prepared him for the moment.
