Time and tide wait for no man! This saying applies aptly to our natural ecosystems as well. Ahead of COP28, scientists are warning that our coastal habitats could disappear in the next 30 years, if global warming and rising sea levels are not curbed within limits set out by the Paris Agreement.

On this episode of Climate Connections, Professor Benjamin Horton, Director, Earth Observatory of Singapore, NTU explains how his team is digging deep beneath the oceans to find out how fossilised mangroves right under us can help guide our conservation strategies moving forward.

Climate Connections: Fossilised mangroves are telling us where sea levels were more than 10,000 years ago

As Singapore approaches “super-aged” status, healthcare is no longer just about treatment, it’s about prevention, active ageing, and holistic wellbeing.

On Mind Your Business, The Breakfast Show invites Tan Lay Kheng, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of St. Andrew’s Community Hospital to discuss how community hospitals are adapting to rising demand, how mental and physical health are becoming equally prioritised, and what Singaporeans should understand about living well for longer.

Mind Your Business: Singapore’s aging future and the leadership behind community healthcare

Around World Obesity Day, much of the public conversation focuses on diet and body image. But clinicians are observing a quieter pattern, many men notice early weight gain or other subtle health changes, yet delay seeking help.

Annelise Lai, Senior Psychologist and Founder of Soma Psychology Clinic, joins the Breakfast Show to discuss how delayed action may surface in the daily lives of working adults, and what earlier, stigma-free intervention can realistically look like for individuals and organisations alike.

Morning Shot: The Health Gap Men Don’t Talk About 

We tackle one of our most popular and emotionally charged poll questions today: how much should you actually leave your children? From property as “the inheritance plan” in Singapore, to the rise of the Die With Zero mindset, we unpack timing (should we give when we're gone?), fairness (split evenly between kids?) and motivation (would my kids get lazy??).

Whether you're a parent planning ahead or a child quietly wondering, this is a conversation every family eventually has.
