Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the latest news and announcements in Singapore in this weekly podcast on Mondays. 

In this episode, Money FM's Rachel Kelly and Shehzad Haque speak with Zakir Hussain, Singapore editor at the Straits Times, on the Budget debates which kicked off in Parliament on Feb 28. 

They also discuss the impact of the Ukraine crisis on Singapore. Earlier today, Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan called Russia's invasion of Ukraine a "clear and gross" violation of international norms, which sets a completely unacceptable precedent.
