Today’s the perfect excuse to put the kettle on — because it’s International Tea Day!

Some of us might think of tea as just your morning pick-me-up or that soothing cup before bed, but tea is more than just a beverage. It’s a drink with history, culture and has had large economic implications on the entire world.

Audrey, Ryan and Emaad chat about their favourite teas, famous IPOs, and how different cultures enjoy it.

Singapore has long invested in cancer prevention, from strong tobacco control to national vaccination programmes against hepatitis B and HPV. But oncologists say lifestyle-related risks remain a major driver of cancer cases, even as policies continue to evolve.

Globally, research suggests nearly four in 10 cancer cases may be linked to preventable causes such as smoking, diet and environmental exposures. So what explains the persistent risks in a high-income, ageing society like Singapore?

Morning Shot: Why Preventable Cancer Risks Still Persist in Singapore

As the conflict surrounding Iran moves from rhetoric to a direct strike on Kharg Island, global energy markets are on a knife-edge. Oriano Lizza, Sales Trader at CMC Markets Singapore discusses whether the IEA’s record 400-million-barrel reserve release is enough to stop an oil spiral, how Chair Powell will navigate a fresh inflationary shock during this week’s FOMC meeting, and why China’s recent NPC "growth floor" is failing to spark a rotation back into mainland equities.

In a world shaped by AI disruption, economic uncertainty and rapid workplace transformation, companies are being forced to rethink how they manage talent. Increasingly, the HR function is being seen not just as administrative support, but as a strategic driver of change.

Singapore’s tripartite partners are now encouraging stronger HR standards and wider adoption of professional certification. But will professionalising HR really make organisations more agile? 

Benjamin Boh, SNEF Council member, and Co-Chair of the Tripartite Workgroup on Human Capital Capability Development joins the Breakfast Show to unpack why stronger HR capabilities may matter for business resilience.
