08/05/26 - What's Trending: West side best side, East side best side… but what about Yishun?On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar dive into the viral TikTok that had Singaporeans collectively clutching their kopi cups, after an Australian tourist branded Yishun as “Singapore’s most dangerous hood” and claimed it showed “how Singapore really is.”
From heartland stereotypes and Crazy Rich Asians comparisons to the age-old East vs West vs North side rivalry, the crew unpacks whether this was an honest look at everyday Singapore or just one outsider judging an entire country from a back alley. And more importantly, why does Yishun always seem to end up in the spotlight?

07/05/26 - The Big Story: Fixed vs Floating - Are Singapore homeowners paying more for peace of mind?Mortgage rates are falling. So why are so many Singaporeans still choosing the more expensive option?
Even as floating-rate home loans become cheaper again, many homeowners are sticking with fixed-rate packages, paying more for the certainty that their monthly repayments won’t suddenly spike.
But with inflation worries, global tensions, and uncertainty over where interest rates are headed next… is that caution justified?
Are homeowners making a smart financial hedge, or overpaying for peace of mind?
On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Lee Sze Teck, Senior Director of Data Analytics, Huttons Asia, to find out more.

07/05/26 - What's Trending: Single x 35, the Singaporean manga that’s hitting too close to homeOn What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar dive into the viral new manga Single x 35 — the internet’s latest obsession not because it’s fantasy, but because it feels almost too real for Singaporeans. Set against the all-too-familiar backdrop of MRT rides, resale flat bidding wars, office burnout and the quiet panic of being in your 30s without life “figured out,” the trio unpack why this hyper-local story about 35-year-old Shun Li is striking such a nerve online. Plus, they ask listeners the big question: what really is the hardest part about living in Singapore today?

06/05/26 - The Agenda: Are millennials trying too hard to "stay relevant"?On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Isaac Tng, Founder of SixMoreDays to find out if millennials are trying too hard to “stay relevant”.
Once known as the trendsetters, millennials are increasingly being called out for doing things to keep up with the times. In Singapore, where generational expectations and career pressures run high, this tension feels especially familiar.
So, is the idea that millennials are “out of touch” actually fair? Or is it just another cycle of generational rivalry playing out online?

06/05/26 - The Big Story: Can’t land your first job? Manpower Minister says don’t worryFresh graduates may be taking a little longer to land that first full-time job, but according to Manpower Minister Tan See Leng, that doesn’t necessarily mean the job market is weakening.
In Parliament, he pointed out that while recent figures show softer fresh graduate employment outcomes, those numbers are coming off an unusually strong post-Covid hiring surge, when companies were aggressively rehiring to catch up on demand.
So is this just a temporary adjustment, or a structural shift in how young people enter the workforce?
On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Professor Lawrence Loh, Department of Strategy and Policy, National University of Singapore, to find out more.

06/05/26 - What's Trending: Michael Jackson Flash Mob With Traditional CostumesOn What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar dive into a Michael Jackson tribute flash mob that has since gone viral this week.
From moonwalks to high kicks, what makes it viral is not the perfectly synchronised movements and routines of the legendary pop star. Instead, the group of dancers put a unique twist to this tribute by donning their traditional Malay costumes and took a spin.

05/05/26 - The Big Story: SG-MY taxis via Grab go door-to-door from May 4. Game changer or too costly?Grab’s new cross-border taxi booking feature now allows users in Singapore to book rides straight to Johor and surrounding areas via the app, with trips requiring at least 12 hours’ advance booking.
While the move promises greater convenience and wider access to destinations like Johor Bahru, Iskandar Puteri, Forest City, Kulai and Senai, fares are dynamic and can even end up higher than traditional street-hail options.
With cashless payments, fluctuating pricing and new pickup rules on both sides of the border, does this make cross-border travel truly easier or just more complicated?
On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Terence Fan, Assistant Professor Strategic Management & Entrepreneurship, Singapore Management University, to find out more.

05/05/26 - The Agenda: Is Gen Z unemployable? Or is the workplace the real problem?On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong and Chris J. “Mohawk” Reed, the founder of Black Marketing, unpacka familiar but increasingly heated narrative: every generation thinks the next one just isn’t built for the world of work.
That perception is starting to show up in hiring decisions too, with some surveys suggesting fewer than 1 in 10 employers feel Gen Z are fully prepared for work, and nearly half saying they aren’t ready at all.
So what’s really going on here? Are Gen Z genuinely unprepared, or is the modern workplace failing to keep up with them?
