Elon Musk has stepped down from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, marking a dramatic end to one of the most unconventional chapters in recent White House history. Appointed by President Trump as a Special Government Employee, Musk’s mission was to slash waste and streamline federal operations through aggressive cost-cutting and structural overhauls. Though he claimed $160 billion in savings, critics allege mismanagement, inflated figures, and wide-reaching consequences for public services. His departure follows public opposition to Trump’s sweeping “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signaling a clear policy rift between the two once-aligned figures. What drove Musk to break ranks with the administration now? How does he reflect on the legacy of DOGE, and what does this mean for his return to the private sector? Most importantly, where does his political influence go from here? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Kevin Chen, Associate Research Fellow with the US Programme at the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University, to find out more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Authorities in Singapore are exploring the use of technology to autonomously disrupt websites used for scams and malicious cyber activity. The country is also looking to ramp up its AI talent pipeline. This comes amid an increasingly complex threat landscape, with criminals exploiting technology, like artificial intelligence, to carry out more sophisticated crimes and target more victims. On this episode of Morning Shot, Benjamin Ang, Senior Fellow and Head of Centre of Excellence for National Security & Head for Digital Impact Research at the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies breaks down the reliability of AI in disrupting scams, and challenges of formalising AI governance.

2024 has been a turbulent year for global security across the world, with ongoing conflict taking place in the Middle East. Beyond that, security threats of various forms have shaken the world in recent weeks, including an incident involving a car that ploughed into a crowd at a Christmas market in Germany, a woman brutally set on fire at the New York City subway and a couple of knife attack incidents in Singapore. What should people look out for to stay safe this holiday season and what does the threat landscape look like for 2025?

It is safer to live near a nuclear power plant than to ride a plane, says an expert. Do we have a Not In My Backyard (Nimby) syndrome? Synopsis: Every second Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times takes a hard look at Singapore's social issues of the day with guests. Nuclear energy: Why not? That is the response from an expert on why Singapore is exploring it. The radioactive release from the Fukushima meltdown in 2011 did not kill anyone, but thousands of workers at coal mines die every year, says Dr Alvin Chew, a senior fellow at the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies in NTU. Dr Chew’s research focuses on the usage of civilian nuclear energy. He was previously with the civil service, working on energy security and energy transition issues. “When you compare the (nuclear sector) to airline industries, there are more airline crashes and lives being lost. But yet, people are still flying,” he adds. Still, the horrors of nuclear disasters such as the meltdowns in Chernobyl and Fukushima appear to have scarred mankind. To go nuclear or not is a highly polarising topic in many countries. To gain the public’s trust on nuclear energy in Singapore, Dr Chew emphasises the importance for authorities to explain a country’s need for nuclear energy, educate the people about radiation safety, and also ensure the population is prepared for a worst-case scenario. Most of the time, the best form of protection is to stay at home, shut the windows and wait for the authorities’ instructions, he adds. Singapore, like several other countries mired by the triple threat of climate change, energy security and rising electricity costs, is taking a hard look at a controversial energy source – nuclear power. The authorities have been exploring advanced nuclear technologies, such as small modular reactors (SMRs), that are promised to be safer. In this episode, Lynda Hong and co-host Shabana Begum find out what drives the fear of nuclear power. Will Singapore residents allow a nuclear plant to be built in their 'backyard'?

Device management app Mobile Guardian was recently removed from all students' personal learning devices after a global cybersecurity breach affected about 13,000 secondary school students from 26 secondary schools in Singapore. It's an application that enables parents to manage students' device usage by restricting applications or websites and screen time. These students had their devices wiped remotely by the perpetrator, leaving many worried as the GCE O'Level exams are nearing.  Since then, the Education Ministry has been able to fully restore information on personal learning devices that were backed up on the cloud, but a small fraction of devices where information stored locally was not backed up, and hence not recoverable. On this episode of Morning Shot, Benjamin Ang, Senior Fellow, Head of Centre of Excellence for National Security & Head of Digital Impact Research at the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies shares his insights on how such incidents can be better mitigated, and how safeguards and recovery procedures can be beefed up.

The defence partnership has divided opinion and frayed some partnerships. For Southeast Asia, the stakes are high, but consensus on AUKUS remains elusive. Veerle is joined by Dr Collin Koh, Research Fellow at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies of the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore. Dr Koh explains that Southeast Asian countries can largely be divided into three camps in their responses to AUKUS, with a particularly interesting analysis of Cambodia's strategic outlook. The new partnership highlights once again some difficult questions for Southeast Asian countries regarding how to manage their own regional security, while maintaining ASEAN centrality and navigating growing tensions between the US and Beijing.

In this episode of the National Security Podcast, we bring you the first of a special three-part series looking at key trends influencing the future strategic landscape of the Indo-Pacific. This episode unpacks two competing trends that are shaping the regional order: the rise of grey zone and hybrid threats, and the emergence of ‘minilateralism'.Grey zone and hybrid threats have been rising in prominence as tools used by authoritarian states as they attempt to reshape the regional order. But what are they, who are they being used against, and how they are likely to evolve in coming years? And with minilateralism emerging as a preferred format for states to meet the challenges of great power competition, how might diplomacy evolve to match the shifting security landscape of the coming decade? In this episode of the National Security Podcast, we ask how these trends intersect and whether minilateralism is an effective tool to deal with grey zone and hybrid threats.Professor Sascha Bachmann is a Professor in Law at Canberra Law School and co-convener of the National Security Hub at the University of Canberra.
