From C-sections to dialysis to cancer treatment, antibiotics are the basis of modern medicine. The more we use antibiotics, the more quickly resistance develops, and deaths as a result of resistant infections are projected to skyrocket in the coming decades. 

Yet, the market for antibiotics is broken. As of January 2020, there are 60 products currently in development of which the WHO reports very few target the most critical resistant bacteria and it will take years before a handful will reach patients. Why are investments in new antibiotics to meet the threat drying up? 

Maurizio Luongo, Chief Executive Officer, Menarini Asia-Pacific shares his views.

Your Health: Why it is time to fix the antibiotic market

Making friends as an adult isn’t always easy, so one Singaporean content creator is taking things back to the playground. Twenty-year-old Trevor, known as @trevuh2, has organised what he calls Singapore’s largest game of Duck, Duck, Goose, bringing strangers together to play, socialise and hopefully make new friends. 

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alex Parada discuss whether Singaporeans are unfriendly or simply hesitant to approach strangers, why adult friendships can be so difficult to form, and whether childhood games and organised meet-ups could help break the ice. Would you join a game with complete strangers, or would the awkwardness be too much?

Home prices and mortgage sizes in Singapore have climbed over the past five years, but buyers are increasingly using cash and CPF savings to fund their down payments.

Nearly 8 in 10 buyers of new private property launches took out loans of at least $1 million in the first half of 2026, double the proportion in 2021. Yet mortgagee-sale listings have also hit their highest half-yearly level since 2021

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Clive Chng, Associate Director at Redbrick Mortgage Advisory, to find out why buyers are borrowing a smaller proportion of their property’s value, what’s driving the rise in mortgagee sales, and whether financial risks are building beneath Singapore’s property market.

Caregiving can be challenging, especially when juggling work, studies and family responsibilities. Four NUS undergraduates have developed AHMA, an AI-powered app designed to support caregivers by helping them find services, address concerns and manage everyday tasks like scheduling appointments.

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with AHMA app founders Abhishek Paranjape, Hazel Low and Aishwarya Goyal about how their own observations inspired the idea, how AI could ease the burden on caregivers, and why more young Singaporeans may need to think about caregiving as they grow older.
