In 2025, the business landscape in Malaysia, Singapore, and much of ASEAN is being reshaped by the rapid evolution of technology, particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and advanced analytics. Drawing on valuable lessons learned, organizations are increasingly adopting a hybrid cloud by design approach. This strategy offers flexibility and scalability while effectively addressing the complex regulatory environments surrounding data protection, ethical technology use, and cybersecurity. By leveraging public cloud resources for scalability and securing sensitive data in private environments, businesses can strike a crucial balance between innovation and compliance—an essential strategy for navigating the challenges of data sovereignty.Recently, FutureCISO spoke with Mark Figley, Vice President of Power Development at IBM, to explore how leaders in Singapore and Malaysia can strategically position their organizations to thrive in this dynamic environment.1. Why is it critical for Singaporean and Malaysian business and technology leaders to rethink their technology strategies in today's fast-evolving digital landscape?2. How do IBM clients address evolving business challenges while also addressing requirements around regulatory compliance, data protection, and data sovereignty?3. In what ways does IBM (Power Systems) accelerate AI workloads and support large-scale, real-time data processing for enterprises in Asia?4. How can hybrid cloud architectures leveraging IBM (Power Systems) ensure zero unplanned downtime and continuous business operations?5. Speaking of security, what unique security features does IBM (Power Systems) offer to safeguard sensitive AI workloads across hybrid cloud environments?6. CIOs tell us that their technology stack today is complex because of the variety of technologies they have in place – applications, hardware, operating environments, management tools, the list goes on. To close our discussion, how can Singaporean and Malaysian organizations leverage IBM Power's unified hybrid cloud management platforms to simplify operations, close the cloud skills gap, and accelerate AI-driven innovation?

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the world is working out how live with a capricious America.First though, the week ahead will feature Wednesday afternoon's OCR review from the RBNZ, preceded Tuesday by the RBA's cash rate review. The Aussies are expected to cut their rate by -25 bps to 3.60% but the RBNZ is expected to hold at 3.25%. We will be covering the outcomes and implications of both reviews.Both Malaysia and South Korea will also be reviewing their official rates. The Malaysian will likely leave their rate unchanged at 3.00%, and the South Koreans are expected to cut theirs by -25 bps to 2.25%.In the US, apparently negotiating trade deals is complicated (who knew?) so Trump is dispensing with all that and just "sending letters" unilaterally. "90 deals in 90 days" is too hard for him. He might have got one over the line with Vietnam (he claims but the Vietnamese haven't confirmed). He sort of got one with the UK but before the 90 day clock started. And the China one he claims leaves the US in a worse position. His Treasury Secretary is promising "a few more" over the next few days and weeks. "Best deal maker of all time".And we should probably note that the integrity of official US data, from the Census Bureau, the BLS and the BEA, all now under Trump control (in the Lutnick Commerce Department), is getting increasingly questioned. Sharp budget cutbacks is resulting in fewer actual surveys, more 'estimates by officials'. Even Fed boss Powell expressed concern over the issue in questioning at the recent Congressional testimony. The data reporters are moving to a "Make Trump Look Good" approach.Suspicion is rising because there are widespread indications tariff-tax price increases are being pushed through but the BLS data isn't reflecting that.In China we will get CPI and PPI updates for June later this week. It would be supremely ironic if users came to view Chinese economic data was more trustworthy than American. It no longer seems far-fetched.Across the Pacific in Japan, household spending jumped +4.7% in May from a year ago, reversing a -0.1% fall in April and far exceeding an expected +1.2% rise. It was their fastest growth since August 2022, and that August 2022 was only good because it was off the very weak pandemic-affected base a year earlier.Singaporean retail sales rose by +1.4% in May from a year ago, accelerating from a downwardly revised +0.2% rise in April. This was the third straight month of growth and the fastest annual increase since January. But to be fair, most of the increase was driven by car sales, a very expensive and exclusive corner of their retail sector.Next, halfway around the world, EU producer prices eased again in May so that it is only +0.4% higher than year ago levels, less in the euro area. The past three months have delivered producer prices lower than in each of the prior months.German factory orders dropped by -1.4% in May from April and that was weaker than expected, but the April gain was revised higher. The May weakness however came after some very large-scale computer, electronic and optical orders in April. From a year ago, these factory orders were up +5.3%.And we should probably note that EU house prices are rising, up +5.7% from a year ago led by 10%-plus gains in Portugal (+16%), Bulgaria (+15%), Croatia (+13%), Slovakia (+12%), Hungary (+12%), and Spain (+12%).In Australia, household spending rose in May and by more than expected with a good recovery from a weak month in April. This spending was up +4.2% from May a year ago. It was their best gain in 7 months.The FAO food price index was little-changed in June from May, holding its gains from a year ago. Within that, both meat and dairy prices rose.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.33%, and unchanged from yesterday. The price of gold will start today at US$3,336/oz, and unchanged from Saturday.American oil prices are unchanged at just under US$66.50/bbl while the international Brent price is also little-changed at just under US$68.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now just on 60.6 USc, unchanged from Saturday. For the week it is up +20 bps. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 92.5 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 51.5 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 68 and up +10 bps from yesterday, and unchanged for the week.The bitcoin price starts today at US$108,921 and up +1.0% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at just on +/-0.5%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

During our Saturday Mornings Sit-Down conversation Violet Lim, CEO & Chief Cupid of "Lunch Actually," talks with host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys about her Annual Dating Survey and a striking shift in dating attitudes. Violet Lim, CEO & Chief Cupid of Lunch Actually, breaks down their latest Annual Dating Survey with an interesting statistic: 80% of Singaporean men are open to dating someone with opposing political views, but only 64% of women feel the same—a dramatic drop among women from 78% just five years ago. Violet takes us through the cultural currents behind the data, comparing trends across Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, and dishes on how you can navigate tricky conversations without ruining the romance. From dealbreakers to dialogue tips, we explore how political beliefs are quietly reshaping the dating playbook across Asia. Whether you're swiping left, searching for “the one,” or happily coupled, this episode is packed with insights that hit close to the heart—and maybe the ballot box.

While more Singaporean fathers want to play an active role at home, workplace culture and policy haven’t fully caught up. With only around half of eligible dads taking paternity leave, the reality is that many working fathers face structural and cultural barriers when it comes to being present parents. Dr. Xander Ong, CEO of Centre for Fathering joins the Breakfast Show to explore how far Singapore has come in supporting working dads and how much further we need to go. Are employers ready to offer flexibility and emotional support for fatherhood the way they’ve done for working mothers? What will it take to build truly inclusive family-first workplaces, where both parents are empowered to be caregivers?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
In a meritocratic society like Singapore, transparency should be a step in the right direction in terms of fairness. However, Singaporean culture often values discretion and harmony. Even though it’s not illegal to share your salary, many still see it as taboo or risky in professional settings. What happens when we aim to push for openness in a system built on personal performance, quiet ambition, and competitive advantage? Would it spark resentment, conflict, or even drive talent away? On The Hot Seat, Hongbing Jeong speaks to Fermin Diez, Adjunct Professor at SMU; and co-author of three books: ‘Human Capital and Global Business Strategy’, ‘The Remuneration Handbook: International Edition’ and ‘Fundamentals of HR Analytics', and Adrian Choo, CEO and Founder of Career Agility to find out if wage transparency should be the norm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode #333: “The challenging times that we are facing reveal more than what we should do—they reveal who we should be.”So says Jeshua Soh, a Singaporean entrepreneur who has built a life in Myanmar grounded in long-term commitment, creativity, and service. Calling himself a contrarian in his life and business choices, he was first drawn to the country after a teenage-year visit in 2012; his connection to the country strengthened through volunteer work and friendships. To solve problems of hiring in his field, video production, where global freelancers and Singaporeans alike frequently left his employ for more lucrative gigs, he decided to take a chance and open a Yangon office for his company, building on his feeling of connection to the country. It worked. His Burmese team proved remarkably loyal; soon, other startups asked to place staff with him because of his success and growing expertise in the Myanmar business climate. This led to the launch of Crosswork, an HR-as-a-service platform that now supports over 120 employees.Alongside running his business, Jeshua launched a storytelling campaign to counter Myanmar's negative global image and highlight the country's culture, people, and potential. He has also taken on humanitarian initiatives, including cycling from Singapore and walking 500 kilometers from Bangkok to raise over 150,000 SGD for the Mae Tao Clinic. Just minutes after completing the walk, a powerful earthquake struck central Myanmar, prompting Jeshua and his team to quickly mobilize and lead extensive relief efforts.A core concern for Jeshua is Myanmar's brain drain. He urges those who've left not to give up on returning, warning that international aid alone can't substitute for skilled citizens who help rebuild. While he acknowledges safety concerns and doesn't romanticize the country's challenges, Jeshua believes in choosing action over paralysis. “I'm swinging for the fences,” he says. “And I think that there is value in a bit of contrarian thinking. Usually, it starts off something like a crazy idea—[that is] until more people start following!”

The SXSW XR Competition jury prize winner REFLECTIONS OF LITTLE RED DOT had some really innovative mixed reality integrations, and was also a part of a new trend of cultivating an archive of material as an artistic practice. This piece by director Chloé Lee featured about 3 hours of documentary interview footage shot in Singapore starting in 2015 exploring a variety of different themes. Originally started with the intent to create a documentary to learn more about her mother's homeland, Lee turned to mixed reality to create sets of themes featuring looping clips from interviews she conducted to tell the story of Singapore. The experience creates a sense of wandering that you get when exploring a new place, and allows you to dip in and out of different flows of thought. You can navigate these different themes by placing a physical photo slide into a retro slide projector that only takes one slide at a time. Once you pop it in, then you immediately see a mixed reality light creating a holographic Singaporean table where you can sit down and navigate 5-6 different clips. It's one of the more compelling uses of mixed reality I've seen that creates a holographic illusion that you use your body to edit between these different interview clips. The jury statement reads, "Deceptively humble and delightful, this open-world documentary invites us to freely explore a country in transition. Guided by a daring new talent in XR storytelling, it confronts us with the vulnerability of everyday life, evoking a universal sense of place." This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality
