This is something that was addressed on AskST on the Straits Times. What can you do when your boss crosses the line with intrusive demands? And how do you even tell when a request is fair game… or is it over the top?

Breakfast Bites: Dealing with intrusive demands from your boss? Here's how to address it.

As 2025 draws to a close, markets are navigating a volatile mix of AI disruption, geopolitics and macro uncertainty. China’s GPU challengers MetaX and Moore Threads are raising fresh questions about Nvidia’s long-term dominance, just as the threat of tighter U.S. trade restrictions looms over the chip sector. Add a delayed U.S. GDP report and thin year-end liquidity, and investors are being forced to reassess positioning into the final week of the year. Oriano Lizza, Sales Trader at CMC Markets Singapore, shares his view on tech and AI, near-term market risks, and the key themes shaping investor strategy heading into 2026.

Mind Your Business: How technology leaders are rebuilding preventive healthcare

Cash flow remains the heartbeat of every small business, yet in today’s climate of volatile tariffs, higher operating costs and unpredictable payment cycles, many SMEs are finding it difficult to keep liquidity steady. 

According to the 2022 ASEAN SME Transformation Study by UOB, Accenture and Dun & Bradstreet, 82% of business failures are linked to poor cash-flow management, serving as a reminder of how vulnerable SMEs can be when funds are left idle or visibility over cash positions is weak.

Kelvin, Co-founder and Group CEO, Funding Societies and Dennis Poh, Founder and Managing Partner of Legatcy Consulting LLP, join the Breakfast Show to explore what smarter cash management looks like today, from segmenting working capital to using digital treasury tools and short-term instruments, and how SMEs can build stronger financial resilience.
