Annually, Singapore tops yet another global list for being the most expensive place in the world to own a car.

With COEs hitting new highs, a typical family car easily costs up to S$250,000 to maintain. We ask the big question: is a car here a luxury… or something families actually need? We break down the numbers, compare global habits, and debate whether policies should make it easier for families to own their first car.

Breakfast Quiz: Goodbye! We take a walk down memory lane with Ryan

Cyberattacks have come a long way,  from nuisance malware a decade ago to highly coordinated operations powered by artificial intelligence. Today, attackers can automate ransomware campaigns, scan for vulnerable systems at scale, and even mimic human behaviour to slip past security checks. For many businesses, especially SMEs, the risks are no longer theoretical but immediate and costly.

In this episode of Morning Shot, the Breakfast Show speaks with Sebastian Phua, Head of Business Strategy at Delta Underwriting, who brings an “offense-informed” perspective shaped by hands-on experience as a Certified Ethical Hacker.
