12/01/26 - Morning Shot: What Viability Looks Like in Singapore’s Restaurant Scene in 2026Singapore’s restaurant sector is entering 2026 after a year of elevated churn, with thousands of new outlets opening in 2025 even as a large number shut — particularly among sit-down restaurants operating on thin margins. Rising rents, higher labour and ingredient costs, and more cautious consumer spending have sharpened pressures on mid- to upper-tier establishments, at a time when regional dining competition is also intensifying.
On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr. Guy Llewellyn, Assistant Professor of Hospitality at EHL Hospitality Business School, joins the Breakfast Show to discuss what these pressures mean for Singapore’s restaurant landscape in 2026, and how operators are adapting their concepts and business models to remain viable.

09/01/26 - Mind Your Business: What It Took to Make Bike-Sharing Work in SingaporeBike-sharing is back in Singapore — but this time, it’s smaller, more regulated, and far more operationally demanding. After a chaotic boom-and-bust cycle that saw bikes clutter pavements and operators disappear almost overnight, only a handful of players remain. One of them is Anywheel, now operating around 35,000 bikes across the island.
On this episode of Mind Your Business, the Breakfast Show speaks with Htay Aung, Founder and CEO of Anywheel, about how the company survived while rivals folded, what changed to make bike-sharing viable again, and the hard operational realities behind running a hardware-heavy, regulated business.

09/01/26 - Morning Shot: US Strikes Venezuela - What Comes Next?The United States has carried out its most direct intervention in Latin America in decades, capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a January 3 strike ordered by Donald Trump. Washington says the operation was aimed at dismantling a “narco state” and restoring democracy. But critics warn the move revives memories of past US interventions and raises urgent questions about sovereignty, legality, and regional stability — especially as the US moves to take control of Venezuelan oil sales as leverage.
Dr. Lincoln Mitchell, Professor at School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University, joins the Breakfast Show to unpack what this intervention really signals, how oil has become central to US strategy, and what the risks are for Venezuela, and US foreign policy more broadly.
