And he’s not alone: a new national survey found that 95% of Singaporeans are exceeding the daily sodium limit, while average sodium intake has climbed to 4,000mg a day.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alexandra Parada find out which Singapore dishes are the real sodium bombs. And with more Singaporeans eating out regularly, could smaller portions or asking for less salt and sauce make a difference?

Talking about struggles sounds simple, until you’re the one who has to open up. For young people, fear of judgement, uncertainty about counselling, or simply not knowing where to begin can make that first conversation difficult.

A new initiative, Chat Circles, is giving young people aged 15 to 28 a space to talk to trained volunteer listeners for an hour, without assessment, judgement or advice on how to fix their problems.

So, can having someone simply listen make a meaningful difference? And in an age of constant messaging, have we become less comfortable with the conversations that really matter.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Keng Hwee Yap, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Empact, to find out.

As Singapore’s population ages, more seniors may find themselves with fewer people around them for regular companionship and support.

While family and peers remain important, younger people can also play a role in helping seniors stay connected and feel less alone.

So what role can younger people play in supporting seniors and what can these relationships mean for the older generation?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Narasimman Tivasiha Mani, CEO of Empower Ageing and Hayden Ong, a youth volunteer, about why younger people need to play a bigger role in supporting seniors and how these connections can help build a stronger sense of community.
