Only 14% of Singaporean employees, specifically those under 35, feel engaged at work, according to the inaugural Singapore Workplace Report 2026 by the Singapore Institute of Directors (SID) and Gallup. This figure lags significantly behind the global average of 20% and the Southeast Asian regional average of 25%. So what is driving this consistent disengagement among Singapore’s younger workforce? And should organisations be concerned about the consequences this trend will have on Singapore's talent pipeline and future competitiveness in the region?

Singapore’s Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan has just wrapped up a rare visit to North Korea, his first since the historic Trump-Kim summit in Singapore back in 2018. This time, the stakes feel very different. The visit comes amid fresh missile tests by Pyongyang, rising tensions on the Korean peninsula, and growing uncertainty across the world stage. So why now? What was discussed behind closed doors? And could Singapore once again find itself playing a bigger diplomatic role between North Korea and the rest of the world? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Dr Oh Ei Sun, Singapore Institute of International Affairs, to find out more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US President Donald Trump has officially departed Beijing, closing out a tense two-day summit with Xi Jinping that both Washington and Beijing are already branding as historic. Trump is calling the visit “very successful,” while Xi is positioning it as a defining moment in US-China ties. But beyond the grand optics and diplomatic theatre, this meeting tackled some of the world’s biggest flashpoints, from trade, energy and Iran to Taiwan and the future of the Strait of Hormuz. So what was genuinely accomplished behind closed doors? Was this a meaningful reset between two rival superpowers, or simply carefully staged diplomacy? And in the end, who truly leaves Beijing with the stronger hand? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr. Oh Ei Sun, Principal Adviser at Pacific Research Center of Malaysia and Senior Fellow at Singapore Institute of International Affairs, to find out more.

Singapore’s schools are set for a major shake-up in how they deal with bullying. By 2027, all schools will adopt standardized disciplinary measures — including detention, suspension, and in some cases caning — alongside a new online reporting system for students to flag incidents directly. The Ministry of Education says the changes are meant to create greater consistency, improve transparency, and strengthen trust between schools, students, and parents. But the new framework has also sparked debate: while some welcome clearer rules and stronger deterrence, others question whether punishment alone can address the root causes of bullying. On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Jean Liu, Associate Professor of Psychology at the Singapore Institute of Technology, to find out what these changes mean, and whether schools are moving toward meaningful long-term change or simply tougher penalties.

Attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran have prompted retaliatory strikes across the Middle East, hitting Israel and countries that host US bases in the region. Critics have argued that the operation is both illegal under US law without congressional approval and a violation of international law. Spillover effects are already emerging, with oil prices rising and Iran attempting to close the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that handles nearly a quarter of the world's seaborne oil trade. This dialogue jointly organised by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) and the Middle East Institute (MEI) will examine the geopolitical, legal, and economic questions arising from the crisis. What are the political implications of the conflict, not just for the Middle East, but for the rest of the world including Southeast Asia and Singapore?   Does this action by the US and Israel mean an upending of the basic tenets of international law? What does this mean for countries like Singapore?   What impact, both immediate and in the medium to long-term, could this have on trade with the Middle East and for businesses in general?

Over the past year, the spotlight has been firmly on students and their use of AI, questions around academic integrity, strict guidelines, and even penalties for those who don’t disclose it. But now, the conversation is shifting. Several universities here in Singapore, including Nanyang Technological University, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore Institute of Technology, and National University of Singapore, are beginning to incorporate AI tools into the grading process itself. So that raises a big question: if students are being closely monitored for their use of AI, is it fair for educators to lean on the same technology when marking their work? Is this a step towards greater efficiency… or does it risk changing the very nature of assessment and feedback? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Ben Leong, Associate Professor of Computer Science at NUS and Director of the AI Centre for Educational Technologies, to find out more.

Budget 2026 continues Singapore’s push to uplift wages and strengthen the local workforce, including raising the Local Qualifying Salary from S$1,600 to S$1,800 and tightening salary thresholds for Employment Pass and S Pass holders.

Artificial intelligence sits at the heart of Budget 2026, with new AI missions aimed at accelerating adoption across Singapore’s economy the establishment of a new National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Council chaired by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong to drive the nation’s AI agenda.

As digital platforms continue to shape how people discover and evaluate businesses, online reviews have become an increasingly influential part of everyday decision-making. One-star reviews, in particular, can shape perceptions quickly and publicly, often carrying more weight than many positive experiences combined. Debbie Yong, F&B industry observer and founder of branding and communications agency, Atypical Media & Dr. Jean Lui, Associate Professor of Psychology, Singapore Institute of Technology join the Breakfast Show to explore why people leave one-star reviews, how other consumers read and react to them, and how businesses might approach negative feedback in an online setting.

China and ASEAN have just taken their trade partnership to the next level with the ASEAN–China Free Trade Area 3.0. Two decades in the making, this upgraded pact now reaches into digital trade, green energy, and supply chain connectivity.

In this bonus episode Nick talks to Jeff Chatfield. Jeff serves as the Executive Chairman of Avation PLC and played a pivotal role in its founding and development. Throughout his career, he has held management and directorial positions in various companies across sectors such as the airline industry, data distribution, electronics, investment, broadcasting, and manufacturing. He holds both a Bachelor of Engineering and a Master of Engineering Science from the University of Western Australia. Additionally, he is a graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a Fellow of the Singapore Institute of Directors. Nick and Jeff discus the company's recent half-year results and market position. Jeff highlights Avation's strong financial performance, including increased revenue and reduced net debt. He also discusses the company's aircraft leasing portfolio, noting a recent acquisition of an Etihad-operated Airbus A320. Despite these positive results, Avation's share price remains undervalued at 50% of net asset value (NAV), which Jeff attributes to investor unfamiliarity with the aircraft leasing sector and the company's London Stock Exchange listing. He suggests that moving to a higher-tier market segment could help attract more investors.The conversation also touches on Avation's debt structure and potential refinancing opportunities. Jeff explains that a $330 million bond maturing in 2026 could be refinanced as early as 2025, potentially lowering interest costs and improving cash flow. He emphasizes the importance of dividends to investors and notes strong shareholder support for past dividend payouts. Looking ahead, Avation aims to continue growing its fleet and improving shareholder value, with strategies such as increasing investor engagement and possibly integrating with a larger leasing business for better financing terms.

Budget 2025 introduces key initiatives to drive Singapore’s green transition, including incentives for electric heavy vehicles, a phased-in road tax for EVs, and major investments in public transport. With $60 billion allocated to expand and renew the rail network and $1 billion to enhance bus services, the goal is for 8 in 10 households to be within a 10-minute walk of a train station. And to support sustainable living, the Climate Friendly Households Programme will provide an additional $100 in Climate Vouchers to help households adopt energy- and water-efficient products. Budget 2025 also focuses on building a more inclusive society, with greater support for caregivers, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. The Home Caregiving Grant will be enhanced to provide better financial assistance, while new and improved schemes are set to benefit at least 80,000 seniors. To empower persons with disabilities, the government is increasing subsidies and expanding eligibility for adult disability services.

During the 2025 Budget statement, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said rapid technological advances particularly in the area of AI will transform workplaces and jobs. That means workers need to be equipped with new skills to remain competitive and relevant. On that note, SkillsFuture remains a cornerstone in our social compact. On top of this, PM Wong has announced more measures on supporting our enterprises in Workforce transformation. Besides measures introduced to supporting workers throughout life, the measures specific to businesses generally fell within three key areas: technology and innovation, our enterprise ecosystem, as well as infrastructure investments amidst resource constraints. So how is Budget 2025 giving support to workers in terms of upskilling and life long learning? And how will our growth frontier, our businesses be advanced?

All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe!

STORY 1: Fatal Crash Involving Trooper and Motorcyclist Exceeded Speeds of 140 MPH Gerson Danilo Ayala Rodriguez, a 21-year-old from Norcross, led a Georgia State Trooper on a high-speed chase exceeding 140 mph on his motorcycle on January 28, causing the trooper, Jimmy Cenescar, to lose control of his patrol car and crash, resulting in his death. Rodriguez, who lacked a driver's license and a valid license plate, has been arrested and charged with murder, vehicular homicide, and several other offenses. The Georgia Department of Public Safety worked diligently to investigate the incident. Trooper Cenescar, 28, was a recent graduate of Georgia Gwinnett College and had joined the department in January 2023. Visitation and funeral services for Cenescar will be held later this week. STORY 2: Laziness and air pollution largely to blame for dementia: study A new study suggests that dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, was extremely rare in ancient times, with modern lifestyles and environments largely to blame for its prevalence today. Analysis of ancient Greek and Roman texts reveals few mentions of cognitive decline comparable to Alzheimer's. As Roman cities grew denser, pollution increased, possibly driving up cases of cognitive decline. Additionally, Roman aristocrats' use of lead in cooking vessels and water pipes may have contributed to neurotoxicity. Modern-day Tsimane Amerindians, living a physically active lifestyle, have extremely low rates of dementia, highlighting the influence of modern environments on the condition. These findings suggest that lifestyle factors, such as sedentary behavior and pollution exposure, play a significant role in the rise of Alzheimer's disease.   STORY 3: New weight loss medication could lower blood pressure in obese adults A new weight loss medication, tirzepatide, has shown promise in lowering blood pressure in obese adults, according to a study published in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension. The medication significantly reduced systolic blood pressure, a strong predictor of cardiovascular death, in nearly 500 severely overweight adults. Tirzepatide works by mimicking metabolic hormones that regulate insulin secretion and sensitivity, leading to weight loss by reducing appetite and slowing down digestion. Participants taking tirzepatide experienced average reductions in systolic blood pressure of 7.4 mm Hg to 10.6 mm Hg, alongside significant weight loss. Lead author Professor James A. de Lemos noted the potential of tirzepatide in preventing or treating high blood pressure, but emphasized the need for further research to confirm these findings and understand long-term effects on cardiovascular health.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back Break 2: TOM WAGES   STORY 4: Possible new treatment for rare disorder that causes babies to have extra fingers and toes Researchers at the University of Leeds may have discovered a treatment for a rare disorder causing extra fingers and toes, along with other birth defects, autism, and a large head circumference. The disorder currently has no treatment, but the research identified a molecule that could potentially treat neurological symptoms and prevent further deterioration. The drug is already in clinical trials for another disorder, expediting the process if found effective. Dr. James Poulter emphasized the importance of such research for patients and families facing years of uncertainty. The disorder stems from a genetic mutation in the MAX gene, identified through a study published in the American Journal of Human Genetics. Further research will explore the treatment's effectiveness and its potential to improve symptoms caused by the mutation. STORY 5: Adversity early in life can cause kid's brains to develop too fast A new study suggests that children exposed to early life adversity (ELA) undergo accelerated brain development during preschool years, potentially leading to negative health outcomes later in life. Researchers from A*STAR's Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences studied 549 children, tracking brain development via MRI scans at ages 4.5, 6, and 7.5 years. They found that ELA is linked to accelerated brain development between ages 4.5 and 6, likely a protective response.

The intention is to give young people a voice on national issues. Synopsis: Every second and fourth Monday of the month, The Straits Times takes a hard look at Singapore's social issues of the day with guests. The Forward Singapore exercise began in June 2022, and since then, over 14,000 Singaporeans from all walks of life have participated in about 140 engagement sessions on a wide range of topics. This is the second of four podcast discussions, and part of the ongoing conversation to refresh our social compact for the next lap of Singapore's journey. We discuss the upcoming launch of the youth panels in the last quarter of 2023 - likely to be after October - that provides a new way for youth to work closer with the Government to understand policy considerations and make recommendations. Youth is typically defined as those aged 15 to 35 in Singapore. ST's podcast editor Ernest Luis hosts three guests in this episode: Mr David Chua, CEO of National Youth Council Ms Pek Hailin, 34, senior manager, Sustainability (Estates), at Singapore Institute of Technology Mr Chirag Agarwal, 36, the co-founder of Talk Your Heart Out - an online counselling platform that is primarily used by youth This podcast is brought to you by the Ministry of Communications and Information, in support of Forward Singapore: https://str.sg/wFbY Highlights (click/tap above): 2:07 What could be the biggest challenge these new youth panels will face? 10:55 Does the Government trust youths enough to involve them in processes of difficult policy-shaping? 12:42 What it will be like, when you sign up for the new youth panels 20:55 Hailin and Chirag offer feedback on areas for improvement for organisers of the new youth panels, having been involved in previous informal circles 22:49 How they would encourage young people to join these new youth panels despite today's cancel culture More on: Youth panels: https://str.sg/iT84 Register your interest in youth panels: https://str.sg/iT8J Forward Singapore website: https://str.sg/wFbY Produced by: Ernest Luis (ernest@sph.com.sg), Hadyu Rahim & Paxton Pang Edited by: Hadyu Rahim Follow In Your Opinion Podcast here twice a month and rate us: Channel: https://str.sg/w7Qt Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/wukb Spotify: https://str.sg/w7sV SPH Awedio app: https://www.awedio.sg/ Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg Read ST's Opinion section: https://str.sg/w7sH --- Discover more ST podcast channels: COE Watch: https://str.sg/iTtE In Your Opinion: https://str.sg/w7Qt Asian Insider: https://str.sg/JWa7 Health Check: https://str.sg/JWaN Green Pulse: https://str.sg/JWaf Your Money & Career: https://str.sg/wB2m ST Sports Talk: https://str.sg/JWRE #PopVultures: https://str.sg/JWad Music Lab: https://str.sg/w9TX Discover ST Podcasts: http://str.sg/stpodcasts --- Special edition series: True Crimes Of Asia (new): https://str.sg/i44T The Unsolved Mysteries of South-east Asia (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuZ2 Invisible Asia (9 eps): https://str.sg/wuZn Stop Scams (10 eps): https://str.sg/wuZB Singapore's War On Covid (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuJa --- Follow our shows then, if you like short, practical podcasts! #inyouropinionSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our guest, Andrew Penn, is a prominent researcher at the University of California-San Francisco, and he brings us up-to-date information on the clinical research happenings with psychedelic medicine. Andrew's insights on the research being conducted, the risks and benefits of psilocybin and MDMA, and his first-hand experience as a psychedelic nurse create a compelling listen for anyone interested in these powerful substances. While it is clear that psychedelics hold a great deal of potential in the treatment of depression and PTSD, it is also clear that a lot more research is needed. Be it in a lab or in practice, Andrew works to promote healing within. He leaves us with a thought that is near and dear to the heart of this program – that “the thing about psychedelic experiences is they can create this experience of reunification, that people feel like they are attached to something larger than themselves.”“We can feel connected to something bigger and more important, and, perhaps that experience of reconnection has the potential to healing.”Andrew Penn, MS, PMHNP is a Clinical Professor in the University of California, San Francisco, School of Nursing where his teaching has received the UCSF Academic Senate Distinction in Teaching Award, among other recognitions. He has practices as a psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner, treating veterans at the San Francisco Veterans Administration Hospital. As a researcher, he collaborates on psychedelics studies of psilocybin and MDMA in the Translational Psychedelics Research (TrPR) lab at UCSF.A leading voice in nursing, he is a cofounder of the Organization of Psychedelic and Entheogenic Nurses (OPENurses.org), advocating for the perspective of nurses in psychedelic therapy. He has published on psychedelics in the American Journal of Nursing, Frontiers in Psychiatry, and The Journal of Humanistic Psychotherapy. An internationally invited speaker, he has lectured at SXSW, Aspen Health Ideas Festival, the Singapore Institute of Mental Health, and Oxford University.Thank you for reading Mind Body Health & Politics.
