Calls for online finance-related content to be regulated are growing, amid an increasing number of so-called financial influencers, or "finfluencers".

On this episode of Morning Shot, Sumit Agarwal, Professor of Finance, Economics and Real Estate at the NUS Business School shares his insights.

Morning Shot: How should the finfluencer sector be regulated? 

Cycling is a regular part of Singapore’s roads, but the latest accident figures are raising questions about how safely we’re sharing them. 772 accidents involving cyclists were recorded in 2025, up nearly 25 per cent from the year before, with 17 fatalities. The increase also comes amid a broader deterioration in road safety, with overall traffic deaths hitting a 10-year high

What’s behind the increase? From cycling behaviour and road design to enforcement and the way motorists and cyclists interact, we look at where the biggest risks are and what needs more attention.

Steven Lim, President, Safe Cycling Task Force and David Ty, architect, member of SAMU (Safety for Active Mobility Users) join us to discuss how Singapore can make cycling safer without losing sight of the responsibilities of everyone on the road.

Singapore Unfiltered: "Helmets are not the priority when cycling" - What do you think? 

Construction is part and parcel of a growing Singapore, but imagine what it is like when the noise becomes impossible to escape. Some Punggol residents living beside works for the Cross Island Line extension say drilling and machinery have disrupted their sleep, studying and daily routines. 

But beyond being annoying, what does living with constant noise actually do to us? From our sleep and stress levels to our hearing and overall wellbeing, when does everyday city noise become noise pollution?
