But one Singaporean has taken things to another level, bringing a plastic bottle along on a two-week trip to Taiwan before bringing it back to Singapore to claim his refund.

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Alexandra Parada discuss whether the scheme is changing Singaporeans’ recycling habits and if that 10-cent deposit is making us think twice before throwing away an empty bottle or can.

The People’s Action Party (PAP) has re-elected all 14 members of its previous Central Executive Committee (CEC), with no new faces elected to its top decision-making body.

The results come as the party continues to navigate leadership renewal, following a Cabinet reshuffle in July that saw younger political office-holders take on greater responsibilities.

So what does the outcome say about the PAP’s leadership renewal and what can we expect from its next generation of leaders?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Dr Gillian Koh, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies, National University of Singapore, to unpack what the results reveal about the party’s internal dynamics and the road ahead for its next generation of leaders.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Raghav Narayanswamy, Vice President of the Bird Society of Singapore, who first took up birdwatching at the age of 13, on why the hobby is gaining traction among his generation.
