For decades veteran Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani has challenged what he sees as Western complacency, warned of the irreversible rise of Asia, and argued that the global order must adapt to a world no longer dominated by Europe and the United States.And now it appears Western leaders have caught up with him as a new world order is declared in the wake of the “rupture”, as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called it, of President Trump's second term.Born into poverty in Singapore, he rose through the country's foreign service to become its ambassador to the United Nations and then president of the UN security council.He joined Krishnan Guru-Murthy on this episode of Ways to Change the World.

British Columbia's health minister says the province is not seeking an extension (延伸) of its agreement with Canada's federal health agency that allowed the decriminalization of small amounts of drugs for personal possession. The three-year pilot project, slated to end Jan. 31st, initially allowed adults to possess up to 2.5 grams cumulatively of opioids, crack and powdered cocaine, methamphetamine and MDMA.

As AI reshapes work and life, schools are changing too. But before we redesign education, should we ask what it’s really for? Synopsis: On Wednesdays, The Straits Times takes a hard look at Singapore's social issues of the day with guests. Education is one of the few institutions almost every Singaporean passes through - and one of the most contested. From debates about declining attention spans to rising anxiety, we now wonder about the role of artificial intelligence in classrooms. Questions about standards, equity, excellence and inclusion continue to surface. Schools are expected to prepare students not just for jobs, but for citizenship and for lives that feel meaningful. Sometimes these expectations are in tension with one another as we grapple with the AI revolution that’s underway. In this episode, we ask a more fundamental question: What purpose does education serve in a world increasingly driven by technology and AI? And how should our answers change when the world students are entering - shaped by AI and rapid technological change - may look radically different from the one schools were designed for? Joining the discussion with Deputy Opinion Editor Mubin Saadat are Ms Elisha Tushara, The Straits Times education correspondent who spent a decade teaching before moving into journalism, and Dr Liu Woon Chia, Director and researcher at the National Institute of Education and co-founder of its Motivation in Educational Research Laboratory.

Is there a crisis in the Singaporean Biblical worldview? If the Lord would drop a plumbline to measure how straight the Singapore Church is, I wonder what we'll discover. Will we be found wanting? And if so, what areas do we need to align with His Word? What would we be commended for, or rebuked? The Bible speaks not just of the judgement of individuals, but churches, and cities as well. Matthew 11 speaks of The Day of Judgement, where whole cities will be judged. The shepherds of the city must be prepared, because we'll be held accountable.

The Singapore Government has teamed up with New Zealand-founded start-up The Fractional Directory for a new pilot programme. The project will pair fractional leaders - experienced professionals who work with multiple organisations on a flexible basis - with Singaporean companies. Company CEO Michelle Allbon says this may seem similar to consultant roles, but there's some key differences. "The different between consulting and fractional is that a fractional leader is fully embedded...we've seen this be really, really effective, it's not just giving them advice and throwing their PowerPoint over the wall."

In this episode, host June speaks with Naomi Toh, a mental health counsellor, and Edna Sim, a social worker—Co-founders of Kindred Haven. They share heartfelt insights from their survey of 80 Singaporean dads, uncovering stressors like balancing work and family, relationship strains, and managing emotions. Naomi and Edna explain why a father's presence in the perinatal and postpartum period matters—not just for the child, but for the mother's mental health and the family's well-being. They explore concepts such as maternal gatekeeping, the need for community, and why dads should give themselves permission to seek help. If you're a new father feeling disconnected or overwhelmed, this episode offers practical wisdom and reassurance: you matter, your mental health matters, and your presence shapes generations—because when parents are supported, children and families thrive.Learn more at www.kindredhaven.org.--Life can be overwhelming.

This episode brings together three incredible Bake Off champions for a lively, heartfelt, and wonderfully nerdy deep dive into the world of competitive baking. Lisa and Cristina are joined by Peter Sawkins, winner of Great British Bake Off 2020, Laura Foo, winner of Great Australian Bake Off 2023, and Loïc Fauteux-Goulet, winner of Great Canadian Baking Show 2023. Each baker shares the winding path that led them to their respective tents, from Loïc discovering his passion through late-night Bake Off marathons, to Laura's roots in Singaporean home baking and her pandemic baking adventures, to Peter becoming utterly captivated by the show at age ten.The bakers compare the unique rhythms of their different franchises, reflecting on the pressure, the unpredictability, and the strange comfort of baking under the watchful eye of a production crew. Together they recount the chaos, the camaraderie, the victories, the disasters, and the moments when everything just seemed to magically work in the tent (or shed!). By the end, the trio has formed a cross-continental pact: an international baking challenge club designed to push each other's limits in the most joyful way possible.This conversation is warm, generous, and full of insights for bakers of every level. Whether you are a Bake Off fan, a home baker, or just someone who loves hearing passionate people talk about the craft they adore, this episode will make you smile. Hosted on Acast.

This week Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we celebrate the amazing, record-breaking, Singaporean distance running star, Soh Rui Yong, who made history at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2025 by clinching both the national half-marathon and marathon titles in back-to-back races. On December 6, Soh took the half-marathon crown in 1:14:58, and just a day later, he returned to the Padang to win the marathon in 2:46:23—his sixth consecutive national marathon title. The feat was far from easy. Soh recalls the toll of running over 63km in 24 hours, battling disrupted sleep and depleted energy levels. “I’m never doing that again,” he admitted after edging out compatriot Aaron Tan by just four seconds. Yet despite the exhaustion, Soh remains optimistic as he looks ahead to the SEA Games in Thailand, even as he faces uncertainty following an “abnormal” ECG result. We explore what this double victory means for his career, his resilience in the face of challenges, and his ambitions for the 10,000m gold medal and beyond.

How far would you go to get your child enrolled at a primary school of your choice? One woman repeatedly lied about her home address to get her daughter a spot at the primary school the mother wanted in 2023. But the school discovered the truth, and she was handed a one-week jail sentence in November for subverting the admissions process. While her sentence has raised eyebrows, she’s not the only one to have attempted this, with other parents over the years having been fined between $4,000 and $5,000 over similar attempts. In a 2007 case, a parent was jailed after lying about his residential address in order to get his daughter into a certain school in Bukit Timah. Data from the Ministry of Education showed that between 2020 and 2024, there were about nine such cases each year. In this episode of The Usual Place, I speak with three guests about why some parents think they need to game the system to get their child a good education. They are: • Pooja Bhandari, founder of non-profit EveryChild.SG, which looks to raise awareness about the need for education reforms and the well-being of children in Singapore, • Esther Foong-Tan, a family life education specialist, who helps families work on their interpersonal relationships by equipping parents with up-to-date resources and training, and • Assistant Professor of Sociology Jacqueline Ho, who teaches at Singapore Management University. Her research is focused primarily on the Singaporean education system. In this pre-recorded episode, we discuss: Is this just ‘kiasu’ culture taken to extremes? And what’s driving parents to go to such lengths for a place at a “good” primary school? Highlights (click/tap above): 3:16 Emotional impact on the child whose parent was jailed for lying about their address4:54 Unfairness in the P1 registration system 11:26 How inequality in society builds anxiety in parents23:32 Bullying in an elite school 35:54 How the lack of information about school culture has spurred anxiety among parents 38:20 Could an automatic allocation to primary schools create a fairer admission system?

The 21-year-old first encountered fame when her 2024 song, The Cutest Pair, went viral on TikTok. A song from her debut album Fangirl, it has since garnered 54 million streams on Spotify alone. But as she discusses in the podcast interview, the singer wants to be more than just a one-hit wonder. She has been working on new songs and performed two of her newest tunes, Before I Leave and Midsummer Mansion, live on the podcast. In the interview, Song talks about her relationship with social media and how it plays a huge role in how she operates as an artiste. She also discusses the challenges of being a full-time music musician in Singapore, including the lack of a structured system for rising artistes.

From the BBC World Service: Hong Kong International Airport is halting flights on Tuesday as the Asian financial hub braces for one of the strongest super typhoons it's seen in years. Then, would you move back to your hometown for a 25% tax cut? Cyprus is hoping this proposal will tempt some of its diaspora to return. And later, Singaporean shipping company X-Press Feeders refused to pay damages for causing the worst environmental disaster in Sri Lankan history.

//The Wire//2300Z September 22, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY BEGINS IN NEW YORK. WHITE HOUSE "CLARIFIES" H-1B POLICY BY CHANGING MUCH OF WHAT WAS ANNOUNCED. VIOLENT ATTACKS CONTINUE AROUND UNITED STATES. PRESIDENT TRUMP DESIGNATES ANTIFA AS DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Copenhagen Airport remains shut down as multiple drones continue to interfere with flight operations. The airport initially issued a temporary ground stop for all arrivals/departures, which as of this report has been extended until 5:00 a.m. local time. Separately, a military base in Oslo, Norway was placed on a heightened state of readiness due to drone reports as well, which resulted in the arrest of two Singaporean nationals who were operating a civilian drone over the military base.-HomeFront-New York: This week, the United Nations General Assembly has begun, with most of the noteworthy actions so far being the recognition of Palestinian statehood from a few nations. Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and a handful of others have been the biggest power-players to add to the list of nations which have recognized the legitimacy of the Palestinian government.Analyst Comment: As with most diplomatic endeavors in the region, this move will probably result in very little impact overall. Most of these recent recognitions are probably last-ditch political moves to urge a two-state solution at the eleventh hour. Nevertheless, these statements will probably draw the ire of the United States to some degree, which is still negotiating trade deals with some of these nations.Washington D.C. - Over the weekend the White House backtracked on the recent changes to the H-1B visa system. Despite Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stating in the Oval Office on the day of the announcement that the $100,000 fee for visas was per employee per year, the White House issued a "fact sheet" that reversed these statements, and that this is a one-time payment for companies seeking to hire non-American workers.Also in Washington, President Trump signed the Executive Action this afternoon designating ANTIFA as a Domestic Terrorist Organization.Analyst Comment: And now we wait. The verbiage of the order itself is not entirely indicative of how various federal agencies will respond to this, or what the outcome will be. Ordering agencies to police crimes that are already illegal isn't much help, but moving forward the most obvious theory is that federal terrorism charges might get slapped on any ANTIFA "Direct Action" attacks which are fairly standard in most major cities during periods of heightened tension. Only time will tell if various federal agencies are serious, though.Mississippi: On Saturday a hit-and-run accident was reported in Gulfport, which resulted in the death of a cyclist. Xavier Omar Rigby was arrested after hitting the victim with his vehicle, and driving approximately 8 blocks with her body on the hood of his car. Rigby fled the scene without calling 911, and was later arrested in St. Petersburg.California: The gunman which attacked an ABC broadcast station in Sacramento was detained over the weekend. Federal authorities state that Anibal Hernandez-Santana (an attorney, activist, and political lobbyist) conducted a drive-by shooting at the ABC Channel 10 television station in Sacramento.Analyst Comment: The motive for this shooting has not yet been released, but the shooter's posts on social media indicate the motivations for this attack. Even his own attorney has stated that the primary method of prosecuting him (besides the bullet holes in the ABC station) will be the radical posts that his client made on social media.New Hampshire: A mass shooting was reported over the weekend in Nashua, as a gunman targeted a wedding ceremony at the Sky Meadow

Mere Spirituality by Joshua Spatha Mperspective.org https://www.amazon.com/Mere-Spirituality-Joshua-Spatha/dp/1636986331 With new insights into ancient wisdom, Mere Spirituality will challenge people to embark on their own spiritual journey with practical and tangible results in mind. Western society is in cognitive dissonance, paying lip service to scientific materialism while simultaneously searching for meaning in life, believing in spiritual realities, and experimenting with different religious practices. Being fed an anemic diet of the shallow and superficial, society is starving for depth and searching for purpose. Mere Spirituality offers a concise commentary on the state of Western civilization, highlighting the successes and failures of its modern worldview and philosophy while reintroducing essential elements that formed its foundation. By diagnosing the current spirit of the age, it then prescribes a healthier alternative without sacrificing rationality, explaining the concept, reason, and practice of spiritual disciplines. Bridging the gap between the left and right brain, Mere Spirituality speaks the language of reason to establish the deeper purpose and meaning of life and the logical arrival at spiritual conclusions. The result is a fascinating and insightful study of humanity, society, and reality, with a greater understanding of the “what” and “why” of spiritual disciplines that don't just preach to the choir. This inspirational guide will encourage people—whether they're mystics or skeptics—to step out of their spiritual comfort zone.About the author Joshua Spatha majored in anthropology with a minor in Old Testament studies before he began serving in full-time missions in 2006, traveling primarily in the Middle East and Asia.

Our Head of ASEAN Research Nick Lord discusses how Singapore's technological innovation and market influence are putting it on track to continue rising among the world's richest countries.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Nick Lord, Morgan Stanley's Head of ASEAN Research.Today – Singapore is about to celebrate its 60th year of independence. And it's about to enter its most transformative decade yet.It's Monday, the 28th of July, at 2 PM in Singapore.Singapore isn't just marking a significant birthday on August 9th. It's entering a new era of wealth creation that could nearly double household assets in just five years. That's right—we're projecting household net assets in the city state will grow from $2.3 trillion today to $4 trillion by 2030.So, what's driving this next chapter?Well, Singapore is evolving from a safe harbor for global capital into a strategic engine of innovation and influence driven by three major forces. First, the country's growing role as a global hub. Second, its early and aggressive adoption of new technologies. And last but not least, a bold set of reforms aimed at revitalizing its equity markets.Together, these pillars are setting the stage for broad-based wealth creation—and investors are taking notice.Singapore is home to just 6 million people, but it's already the fourth-richest country in the world on a per capita basis. And it's not stopping there.By 2030, we expect the average household net worth to rise from $1.6 million to an impressive $2.5 million. Assets under management should jump from $4 trillion to $7 trillion. And the MSCI Singapore Index could gain 10 percent annually, potentially doubling in value over the next five years. Return on equity for Singaporean companies is also set to rise—from 12 percent to 14 percent—thanks to productivity gains, market reforms, and stronger shareholder returns.But let me come back to this first pillar of Singapore's growth story. Its ambition to become a hub of hubs. It's already a major player in finance, trade, and transportation, Singapore is now doubling down on its strengths.In commodities, it handles 20 percent of the world's energy and metals trading—and it could become a future hub for LNG and carbon trading. Elsewhere, in financial services, Singapore's also the third largest cross-border wealth booking centre, and the third-largest FX trading hub globally. Tourism is also a key piece of the puzzle, contributing about 4 percent to GDP. The country continues to invest in world-class infrastructure, events, and attractions keeping the visitors—and their dollars—coming.As for technology – the second key pillar of growth – Singapore is going all in. It's becoming a regional hub for data and AI, with Malaysia and Japan also in the mix. Together, these countries are expected to attract the lion's share of the $100 billion in Asia's data center and GenAI investments this decade.Worth noting – Singapore is already a top-10 AI market globally, with over 1,000 startups, 80 research facilities, and 150 R&D teams. It's also a regional leader in autonomous vehicles, with 13 AVs currently approved for public road trials. And robots are already working at Singapore's Changi Airport.Finally, despite its economic strength, Singapore's stock market had long been seen as sleepy — dominated by a few big banks and real estate firms. But that's changing fast and becoming the third pillar of Singapore's remarkable growth story.This year, the government rolled out a sweeping set of reforms to breathe new life into the market. That includes tax incentives, regulatory streamlining, and a $4 billion capital injection from the Monetary Authority of Singapore to boost liquidity—especially for small- and mid-cap stocks.We also expect that there will be a push to get listed companies more engaged with shareholders, encouraging them to communicate their business plans and value propositions more clearly. The goal here is to raise Singapore's price-to-book ratio from 1.7x to 2.3x—putting it on a par with higher-rated markets like Taiwan and Australia.So, what does all this mean for investors?Well, Singapore is not just celebrating its past—it's building its future. With smart policy, bold innovation, and a clear vision, it's positioning itself as one of the most dynamic and investable markets in the world.Thanks for listening.
