23/07/25 - Morning Shot: First Job Jitters - Should Grads Be Worried?Many fresh grads are anxious about finding a job, but should they be? Manpower Minister Tan See Leng is urging graduates and parents to “stay calm,” pointing to new figures that show the employment rate for the 2025 university graduating cohort was 51.9% in June, 4 percentage points higher than in June 2024. That suggests the graduate job market may be on sturdier ground than expected, even amid global uncertainty.
So how worried should graduates really be and what can they do to boost their chances? Loh Pui Wah, Independent Business Consultant & Career Coach and Ng Kian Boon, Host of the Red Dot Perspective (YouTube), join the Breakfast Show to unpack the outlook, highlight where opportunities are emerging, and explore how fresh graduates can navigate the current hiring scene.

23/07/25 - Companies To Watch: Meet the latest meme stock catching fireOnce a darling of the SPAC boom, Opendoor spent most of 2024 flat on its back, out of favor, out of steam, and nearly out of cash. But just when Wall Street had written it off as another housing-tech flameout, the meme-stock crowd kicked down the door.
From trading at less than the price of a bubble tea to surging nearly 500% in a matter of weeks, Opendoor has staged one of the most bizarre and exhilarating comebacks on the Nasdaq. Is this the beginning of a true comeback, or just another Reddit-fueled sugar rush?
Dan Koh and Ryan Huang swing open the doors on what’s really driving the hype and explore what’s really driving the stock’s gravity-defying leap.
