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.

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.
