20/05/26 - The Agenda: A young fishmonger in this day and age? Not quite your average 9-to-5Success today often comes with a certain image... a corporate job, a sleek title, maybe even a 'dream career' that sounds more glamorous than waking up before dawn to handle fresh seafood at a wet market.
So what happens when someone from a younger generation chooses a path most people are walking away from? On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to third-generation fishmonger and founder of Seamonger, Joycelyn Quek, who made the unexpected decision to continue her family’s trade.
But this isn’t just a story about fish or business. It’s about identity, legacy, sacrifice, and the growing disconnect between younger generations and the traditional trades that once built entire communities.

19/05/26 - The Big Story: Why Indonesia’s record low Rupiah is triggering panic and memesIndonesia’s rupiah has plunged to record lows against both the US dollar and Singapore dollar, sparking market anxiety, political backlash and a flood of viral memes online. While Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has sought to reassure the public that the country’s economic fundamentals remain strong, growing concerns over inflation, purchasing power and investor confidence are raising questions about the broader health of Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
So what’s really driving the rupiah’s sharp decline? How worried should ordinary Indonesians and neighbouring countries like Singapore be about the potential economic ripple effects?
On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Adam Samdin from the Asia Macro team at Oxford Economics to break it all down.

19/05/26 - The Agenda: Is it enough to retire comfortably with just CPF savings?For generations, Singaporeans were sold a familiar retirement formula: work hard, build your CPF, pay off your home, and your golden years would take care of themselves. But for many seniors today, that once-reassuring promise is starting to feel far less certain.
Are older Singaporeans now realising that retirement may be far more expensive than they ever imagined? And in a rapidly changing Singapore, is CPF still enough to offer genuine peace of mind? What does real retirement security actually look like today?
On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Patrick Chang, Author of 'Welcome Protirement: The Essentials A to Z', to find out more.

19/05/26 - What's Trending: Who should really be doing more housework at home?On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar dive into the never-ending battle that unites couples everywhere: housework. Inspired by a viral wedding in China where one newlywed couple literally stepped into a wrestling ring on their big day to decide who would be “exempt” from chores for life, we unpack just how far people are willing to go to settle the great domestic divide.
From body slams to laundry loads, this outrageous wedding stunt sparks a bigger conversation many households know all too well: what’s actually the fairest way to divide chores at home? Should it be 50-50, based on income, free time, or simply whoever complains less?

18/05/26 - The Big Story: Simba-M1 deal collapses. What went wrong and who buys M1 next?Singapore’s telecom landscape has taken a sharp and unexpected turn, as Simba’s proposed $1.43 billion acquisition of M1 moves close to collapse. The development follows IMDA’s decision to suspend its review amid allegations that Simba may have used unauthorized radio frequency bands, leading Keppel to confirm it will let the deal expire by May 21.
With the transaction now effectively off the table, M1 returns to the market, opening the door to potential new buyers. Who might ultimately step in as the next owner of one of the country’s key mobile operators? And, what does this mean for competition, prices and trust in the sector?

But can the next generation rise up?On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong sits down with two Singapore football icons: Aleksandar Duric, the 2012 ASEAN Football Federation Championship winner who now serves as Principal of ActiveSG Football Academy, and Rafi Ali, a key figure in Malaysia league history with a domestic double in 1994 and an AFF Championship title in 1998, who now coaches at the same academy.
They reflect on their journeys from professional football to shaping the next generation at AFA, Singapore’s largest grassroots football platform, which has grown since its launch in 2016 to reach over 4,000 young players across nearly 20 centres islandwide.
