Dr Kenneth Lee, Regional Medical Director of Abbott Diabetes Care 
and Jacyln Chan, Country Manager, Technogym Singapore & Fitness Influencer tell us more.

Why It Matters: Life as a diabetes warrior, why balance is key for diabetes management

The United States and Iran have signed an interim agreement aimed at ending months of conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical shipping lanes.

But even as hopes rise for a return to normal trade, tensions are emerging over Iran's plan to charge ships transit fees for passing through the strait. US President Donald Trump argues such charges violate international law, while major shipping firms warn the move could set a dangerous precedent for global commerce.

Could the end of the conflict spark a new economic showdown? And what would it mean for global shipping, energy markets, inflation, and the prices consumers pay every day?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Cedomir Nestorovic, Professor of Geopolitics, ESSEC Business School, Asia-Pacific, to find out more.

On What’s Trending today, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar get into something every Singaporean secretly obsesses over — public holidays. With the 2027 calendar now out, we’re looking at 11 public holidays and 5 long weekends to look forward to. But before we get too excited, there’s a catch — three of those public holidays fall on Saturdays, and that’s already sparking the usual debate about whether that feels like a “loss” or just part of the calendar game. How do people actually maximise those precious long weekends, and would you rather spread your breaks across the year or just take one big chunk of time off?

Singapore is reviewing its Zero Waste Masterplan and 2030 recycling targets amid growing concerns that the country’s waste strategy is falling short of its original ambitions.

When the plan was launched in 2019, Singapore set a bold target of achieving a 70% recycling rate, but recent figures show a steady decline, raising questions about whether that goal is still achievable under current conditions.

As the Government prepares to review its masterplan, the bigger question is no longer just about hitting recycling targets — but whether Singapore’s current approach to waste is still fit for purpose in a rapidly changing global and environmental landscape.
