The fighting may have stopped, but Singapore households could still feel the impact in their wallets.

Despite a peace deal between the US and Iran that is expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Energy Market Authority is warning that electricity tariffs could rise significantly from July.

So why aren't consumers seeing relief yet? How much more could households end up paying for electricity? And if the peace holds, when can Singaporeans realistically expect lower energy prices to filter through to their utility bills?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Chua Yeow Hwee, Assistant Professor in Economics at the Nanyang Technological University, and Honorary Secretary of the Economics Society of Singapore, to find out more.

Breast cancer is still often seen as something that affects older women—but that picture is changing. Younger women juggling careers, relationships, and major life decisions are now being diagnosed with breast cancer.

According to a study by the Breast Cancer Foundation Singapore called, “A Study in Pink: Young Women & Breast Cancer’, many young women already know that breast health matters. 

The gap now seems to be turning that knowledge into action — whether it’s going for regular checks, doing self-examinations, or simply knowing what signs to look out for.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Jacob Soo, CEO, Breast Cancer Foundation Singapore to learn what is holding younger women back from going for breast health screenings, and how we can turn that awareness into taking preventive action.
