Bigger Pic: What Q4 holds for Gen Z labour market, especially with recent spate of layoffs

New reports from this week say that one of the most powerful ethnic minority armed groups battling Myanmar’s army has claimed the capture of the last army outpost in the strategic western town of Maungdaw, gaining full control of the 271-kilometre-long border with Bangladesh.

Rakhine has become a focal point for Myanmar’s nationwide civil war, in which pro-democracy guerrillas and ethnic minority armed forces seeking autonomy battle the country’s military rulers, who took power in 2021 after the army ousted the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.

This follows just less than a week after a second major Myanmar ethnic rebel group says it is ready for China-mediated talks with the junta to end more than a year of renewed fighting that has ravaged areas along the Chinese border.

On this episode of Morning Shot, we’ll be speaking with Dr Felix Tan, an independent political observer who lectures on International Relations and has published works on Myanmar shares his insights on what’s fuelling Myanmar’s civil war and whether there’s a realistic path to reconciliation and stability for the country.

With Singapore set to reach super-aged status as early as 2026, the nation’s vision centres around ageing-in-place.

This brings into focus the importance of integrating medical, social and allied health services within the heartlands, something that PanCare Medical has built into its model, which adopts a more holistic approach, addressing not just medical but also functional, mental health and nutritional needs.

On this episode of 2024 OCBC Emerging Enterprise, Dr Ong Guan Hong, CEO of PanCare Medical and Winner of the 2024 Emerging Enterprise Award shares how his medical group is transforming eldercare in Singapore, challenges behind expanding the slate of services for seniors, and gaps that they are working hard to fill.
