Areas covered under this initiative include anti-corruption, customs administration and trade facilitation, and small and medium-sized enterprises.

Talks on a second agreement under the framework, covering areas like labour, the environment and agriculture, are ongoing. And Taiwanese officials have expressed a desire to ultimately sign a free trade agreement with the United States.

Morning Shot: Is a US-Taiwan free trade agreement on the cards & what does the 21st Century Trade Initiative mean for Taiwan?

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.

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.
