Asian Insider Episode 13: China & USA - Too late to decouple?

22:26 mins

Synopsis: This is Asian Insider, a series by The Straits Times every Friday. Together with our stable of 30 correspondents based around the world, we give an Asian perspective on the global talking points of the week.

A "decoupling" between China and the United States is neither likely nor feasible given that both economic heavyweights still have many reasons to work together.

On this very special live edition of the Asian Insider, The Straits Times US bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh is joined by associate editor Vikram Khanna and global affairs correspondent Benjamin Kang Lim.

Selina Ling from OCBC and Professor Danny Quah also join in to discuss and dissect the far-reaching implications of this stand-off between the two powerhouses.

Produced by: Nirmal Ghosh & Zia-ul Raushan

Asian Insider Episode 11: India opts out of RCEP 

14:37 mins

Synopsis: This is Asian Insider, a series by The Straits Times every Friday. Together with our stable of 30 correspondents based around the world, we give an Asian perspective on the global talking points of the week.

Would the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) have undermined India’s strategic interests in South-east Asia? Or would the mega-trade deal have helped PM Narendra Modi steer the Indian economy to pastures anew?

Those were some of the pertinent questions The Straits Times US bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh discussed with associate editors Ravi Velloor and Vikram Khanna in this episode.

18:05 mins

Synopsis: This is Asian Insider, a series by The Straits Times every Friday. Together with our stable of 30 correspondents based around the world, we give an Asian perspective on the global talking points of the week.

The death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may have unsettled the militant group, but its ideology remains a pertinent threat - especially since Indonesia and Philippines are hotbeds for extremist ideology.

Asian Insider Ep 9: Indonesia's 'gado-gado' Cabinet - the recipe for success?

14 mins

Synopsis: This is Asian Insider, a series by The Straits Times every Friday. Together with our stable of 30 correspondents based around the world, we give an Asian perspective on the global talking points of the week.

Amid greater expectations from Indonesians of a better future, newly re-elected President Joko Widodo announced what some experts call a ‘gado gado’ Cabinet for its interesting mix of people. Will President Jokowi's team of technocrats and politicians spur Indonesia to greater heights?

The Straits Times US bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh was keen to find out, as he discussed the pressing issues with regional correspondent Arlina Arshad and Dr Djayadi Hanan from Paramadina University.

Asian Insider Ep 8: Can billion dollar meth trade be stopped?

11:28 mins

Synopsis: This is Asian Insider, a series by The Straits Times every Friday. Together with our stable of 30 correspondents based around the world, we give an Asian perspective on the global talking points of the week.

Asia's El Chapo’s syndicate is believed to be funnelling tonnes of methamphetamine and other drugs to at least a dozen countries from Japan to New Zealand. Tse Chi Lopis is now the prime target of Operation Kungur, an international man-hunt by about 20 agencies spanning from 3 continents.

So with the hunt for Asia's El Chapo in full swing, The Straits Times US bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh speaks to United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) officials and Indochina correspondent Tan Hui Yee to unravel the booming drug trade in South-east Asia.
