What if the biggest AI winners aren't AI companies at all?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, we unpack how Jardine Matheson is preparing its next chapter after a US$10 billion transformation spree, while BYD unveils China's most advanced EV chip in a push to dominate smart driving.

Ford is also surprising investors as its energy-storage business emerges as an unexpected AI play, helping power a sharp rally in its shares.

LIVE WELL WITH MICHELLE : Massage Away Your Pain?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, we unpack sweeping new Executive Condominium cooling measures meant to restore affordability for first-time buyers. 

Are EC's more attractive to buyers?

Would you likely sell your EC for  more or less if you must stay in it for at least 10 years before selling? 

Then we examine the $880 million Loyang Valley en bloc deal - the largest collective sale of 2026 - is the en bloc dream still alive or are these deals likely to be rare?

Finally, we wrap with a lesson from Automobile MegaMart, where owners raced against the clock to pay $68 million to extend a lease that was running down.

What happens when a leasehold asset approaches zero? 

And what is the takeaway today - what should you as an investor understand before buying leasehold property?
