Singapore heavily subsidises hearing aids, yet adoption rates remain surprisingly low, and many people who do get fitted eventually stop using them altogether. New research from WS Audiology points to an overlooked factor shaping hearing aid adoption, one that could redefine the future of hearing care across Asia Pacific. On Industry Insight , Lynlee Foo speaks with James Benston, President of APA...

The Singapore International Festival of Arts is in full swing, with stages across Singapore coming alive through performances shaped by years of human creativity and craft. But as audiences gather to experience theatre, music and art, another creative force is rapidly emerging: artificial intelligence, now capable of generating scripts, composing music and creating visuals in seconds. So when AI b...

Singapore is one of the wealthiest cities in the world. But a landmark new report from The Food Bank Singapore and the Institute of Policy Studies reveals a food support sector that is resourceful, quietly stretched and more fragmented than most people realise. On Viewpoint , Dr Seah Lay Hoon , Senior Research Fellow, NUS , and lead researcher behind Hunger Report III, joins Lyn Lee to unpack what...

Would you fall for a Zoom call with Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, President Tharman, MAS officials and even global executives? That’s exactly what scammers used in a sophisticated AI deepfake scam that allegedly convinced one victim to transfer S$4.9 million. Using fake WhatsApp messages, AI-generated Zoom meetings and fabricated government briefings about the Strait of Hormuz, scammers crea...

When a conflict thousands of kilometres away shows up in your grocery bill, your Batam ferry surcharge, and your school bus fee — fossil fuel dependence runs deeper than most of us realise. Alberto Salvo, Associate Professor and Dean’s Chair in the Department of Economics at the National University of Singapore’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences , has a clear message: the real...

AI isn't a future story anymore. This week on AI & Me , Lynlee looks at three places artificial intelligence is showing up right now, and what it actually means for you. From OpenAI's latest enterprise push to Google's Gemini on Android, and one story from a Singapore worksite that quietly says it all. Three stories. One clear message: This is what AI actually looks like when it gets to work....

Singapore is often positioned as an AI frontrunner, backed by strong government support, growing investment and widespread enthusiasm around the technology. Yet beneath the optimism, adoption remains uneven. According to Deloitte’s 2026 Singapore findings, only a third of organisations have meaningfully redesigned workflows around AI. While many companies are experimenting with new tools and...

Recruiters increasingly use AI to sift through CVs, identify candidates, and streamline the hiring process. But as hiring becomes more automated, are qualified job seekers being overlooked before a human even sees their application? On AI & Me, Lynlee Foo discusses the growing role of AI in recruitment, its impact on job seekers, and how candidates can adapt to an increasingly automated hiring...

"Hungry." It's the word that's been all over Singapore's feeds in recent days. A recruiter said companies are replacing local workers with regional hires. Not because they're more skilled, but because they're hungrier. The reaction was immediate, loud, and personal. But what does hungry actually mean — and are we even asking the right question? On Viewpoint, Lynlee Foo sits down with  D...

What does the perfect Mother’s Day actually look like? On AI & Me , Lynlee asked an AI to plan her perfect Mother's Day, and then compared it against what actually happened. Good food, a great film, a family that mostly cooperated. AI got the broad strokes right. What it couldn't factor in was everything that already made the day good before any prompt was written. A grounded, honest loo...

Singapore responded swiftly to a hantavirus scare linked to an expedition cruise, and the system held. But the bigger issue isn’t a single virus. It’s how travel itself is changing. As more Singaporeans head into remote, nature-heavy environments, exposure to unfamiliar pathogens is increasing, shaped by climate shifts, ecotourism, and closer contact with wildlife. On Viewpoint,  ...

A quote by Bill Gates puts it simply: “Don’t compare yourself with anyone in this world… if you do so, you are insulting yourself.” It’s a strong statement, but there’s truth in it. When we compare, we ignore our own journey - the effort, the setbacks, the growth that no one else sees. We reduce our story to a side-by-side snapshot that was never meant to be eq...

This week on Viewpoint Friday (May 8), we connect the dots across developments shaping Asia and the global economy. Japan’s expanding defence ties — alongside the ASEAN Summit — point to shifting regional dynamics, even as tensions in the Gulf and ahead of the Trump–Xi meeting highlight how fragile stability remains. What do these shifts mean for costs, confidence, and ever...

What does motherhood actually change about the way you lead?

Drones aren’t new but how we think about them is changing. As the technology becomes more widespread and capable, the focus is shifting from what drones can do to how they’re managed, especially in dense cities like Singapore. On Industry Insight , Dan Hermansen, CEO of MyDefence , a defence tech firm focused on drone detection, explains why detection is becoming more complex, where th...

This morning on Money FM 89.3, Neil Humphries and Audrey Siek unpacked a familiar parenting dilemma: should you monitor your child’s phone? But that’s only part of the story, because beyond parental control lies a more complex reality which is that your child’s device is already being monitored. From the moment they get their first smartphone, AI systems are at work where one des...
