Perhaps it’s a little challenging to wrap your heads around that - but researchers suggest that it’s actually a ploy to deter governments from raising tobacco taxes.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Yvette van der Eijk, Assistant Professor at the NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health dives deeper into this contentious issue.

Cyberattacks have come a long way,  from nuisance malware a decade ago to highly coordinated operations powered by artificial intelligence. Today, attackers can automate ransomware campaigns, scan for vulnerable systems at scale, and even mimic human behaviour to slip past security checks. For many businesses, especially SMEs, the risks are no longer theoretical but immediate and costly.

In this episode of Morning Shot, the Breakfast Show speaks with Sebastian Phua, Head of Business Strategy at Delta Underwriting, who brings an “offense-informed” perspective shaped by hands-on experience as a Certified Ethical Hacker.
