Dengue cases have been rising exponentially around the world, with over five million cases and 2,000 deaths since the start of the year.

Singapore has itself seen more than 5,000 dengue cases in the first quarter of 2024 - more than double that of the same period in 2023 - with seven deaths.

So are these statistics a cause for concern for the Little Red Dot? What steps can we take individually and collectively as a community to prevent the spread of dengue?

On this episode of Morning Shot, Leo Yee Sin, Professor, NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, shares her insights.

On World Bicycle Day, Emaad and Ryan wax lyrical about the environmental benefits of adopting a 2-wheel, rather than 4-wheel approach to transportation.

They also talk about the most bicycle-friendly country on the planet (hint: it's also where you get paid to cycle), when it was first invented and the most expensive bicycle ever sold!

The 21st edition of the Shangri La Dialogue in Singapore marked the first time in 18 months that the US and Chinese defence chiefs met in the flesh. 

US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin and his Chinese counterpart, Admiral Dong Jun, pledged to continue military talks, which could be viewed as a positive step in the countries' relations.

But the Admiral also issued some strong statements in relation to Taiwan, while Ukraine's President accused China of helping Russia to disrupt an upcoming peace conference in Switzerland later this month.

So how much of a success was this year's dialogue? Or are we left with more questions than answers?

On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Chong Ja Ian, Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, NUS Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, shares his insights.
