What is the "Quiet Quitting" phenomenon and why is it trending?

Singapore stocks rose in early trade today, tracking gains in the broader Asia-Pacific region.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) gained 0.2 per cent to 3,726.78 points after 69.3 million securities were transacted across the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have Singapore Post after the firm said three of its senior management staff were terminated after they were found to be negligent in the handling of internal investigations over a whistleblower’s report. 

Elsewhere, from more on a cooler-than-expected US personal consumption expenditures index report out on Friday, to how US President-elect Donald Trump indicated that he favoured allowing TikTok to keep operating in the US for at least a little while – more international and corporate headlines remain in focus.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Chin Hui Leong, Co-founder, The Smart Investor.

Art is often celebrated as "a freedom of expression," a boundless medium through which individuals convey their thoughts, emotions, and perspectives.

But how free is this expression when government regulations intervene, potentially stifling artistic creativity? Can art truly thrive in an environment where it is subjected to oversight and control?

Consider the case of the Samsui mural.

The artwork, which depicted a Samsui woman - a historic icon of resilience - holding a cigarette, faced demands for alteration or removal, since it clashed with societal norms and regulatory concerns.

Does Singapore impose excessive constraints on artistic expression? And is there even a need to regulate art in the first place?

On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Ryan Su, OC Queen Street, The Ryan Foundation, and Michelle Lim, Assistant Professor, NTU School of Humanities.

The Hot Seat: Should the government regulate art?

Singapore stocks opened lower today, following another downbeat session on Wall Street as the US Federal Reserve’s hawkish pivot continued to weigh on sentiment.

In early trade, the Straits Times Index (STI) had fallen 0.5 per cent to 3,743.96 points after 30.8 million securities transacted across the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch, we have CapitaLand Investment and CapitaLand Ascott Trust. That’s after CapitaLand Investment sold stapled securities in CapitaLand Ascott Trust for S$162 million to an unrelated party.

Elsewhere, from more on Japanese inflation rising more than expected last month, to what to expect ahead of the release of US personal consumption expenditures tonight – more international headlines remain in focus. 

Also on deck – Beijing calling on AstraZeneca to expand its research and development investment in the city despite an ongoing probe against some of its executives.

Plus – a quick look at MayBank’s take on what to watch in 2025.

On Market View, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Eddy Loh, Chief Investment Officer, Maybank Group Wealth Management.
