03/02/26 - Morning Shot: Is Your Business Actually Ready for Disruption?As Singapore runs Exercise SG Ready 2026, businesses are being asked to confront a different kind of risk. Not dramatic crises, but prolonged power outages and degraded digital connectivity that can quietly disrupt everyday operations. For organisations that rely heavily on digital tools and real-time systems, even short disruptions can expose assumptions that aren’t always visible. So why does this matter for business leaders and teams here in Singapore?
Mr Suhaimi Zainul-Abidin, CEO of Quantedge Capital, joins the Breakfast Show to discuss what simulated disruptions reveal about organisational blind spots, how smaller teams can think more realistically about preparedness, and why resilience increasingly comes down to leadership judgement rather than technical fixes alone.

02/02/26 - Bigger Pic: After the Gold Shock, Where Now for Investors?Gold has suffered its sharpest fall in decades, with silver and copper also sliding in a violent reversal that has rattled metals markets.

Martin Hennecke, Head of Asia and Middle East Investment Advisory at St. James’s Place, shares what the gold plunge says about real rates, the Fed outlook, and gold’s role in portfolios. We also explore whether today’s earnings picture is masking narrow opportunities, where overlooked value may be emerging beyond big tech and AI.
