A race against time - and one that could save you real money.

As the year ends, many Singaporeans hurry to make their S$15,300 SRS contribution to cut their tax bill - but how does the scheme work 

We unpack withdrawal rules, explain whether you’ll eventually pay tax, and why 1 in 5 SRS dollars sits idle earning just 0.05% interest

Should you invest your SRS instead, and how do rising statutory retirement ages affect when you can access your money?

We break down the crucial 1 July 2026 deadline to lock in the penalty-free withdrawal age of 63.

Hosted by Michelle Martin with guest Elijah Lee, Senior Financial Services Manager, Phillip Securities.

Market View: AI Boom vs Credit Stress - Chips Soar, Money Pulls Back

What if the next big investment opportunity isn’t in the US, but right next door in Asia where much of AI's backbone is being built?

We zoom in on the “Golden Triangle” of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, and why this region could power the next phase of global growth.

From Japan’s corporate reforms to Korea’s semiconductor cycle and Taiwan’s dominance in advanced chips, the story is bigger than just tech hype.

We also explore where the real AI opportunities lie - from data centres to cybersecurity - after the recent market pullback.

And what about risks like currency swings and geopolitical tensions - are investors being paid enough to take them?
