Wise and Shine

We’re back with Part 2 of Forward Singapore!

A recap; What is Forward Singapore? If you’ve not heard, it is an opportunity for all of us to come together, examine our values and aspirations, and build consensus for our future. What do we, as a people, want to see?

We had the hosts engrossed themselves in a lengthy production document (180 pages to be exact), which was a fascinating read. Today, we'll continue our thought-provoking discussion around balancing work and life in Singapore and some of the softer topics like family and social issues.

Rakaesh and Anthony also want to chat about recent market updates and how certain policies could be improved. One hint: longevity is on the table.

With increasing time pressures and a renewed focus on well-being, how can we optimize our daily routines? And what role does the community play in this new normal?

Tune in for thoughtful perspectives on striking a sustainable work-life rhythm plus innovative ideas around co-living, multi-generational housing, and more.

It'll be an insightful conversation that will help us envision the future of harmony here in the Lion City. You will want to save this.

Are you ready to rethink the future of Singapore? On our latest episode, our hosts digested 180 pages from Forward Singapore and will dive deep into the movement and the big ideas it puts forth.

The government wants citizens empowered to shape our evolving identity, but is the vision clearer in theory than practice? We'll debate where this plan for progress hits the mark, and where it leaves listeners wanting more.

Join us as we dissect themes of new opportunities on the horizon - from entrepreneurship to nurturing local innovation. We'll also question if the support truly matches the responsibility citizens are being asked to take on.

Does the path ahead promote true inclusion, or does the journey still favor some over others? Tune in to hear spirited discussion on charting a course for Singapore that writes its next chapter authentically from the ground up.

You don't want to miss our candid conversation challenging both praise and critiques of this national framework. Listen now as we move the discussion from page to passion. The future is unwritten - but your voice could help shape where we're headed.

In this episode, we dive into a thought-provoking topic that challenges the level of trust we place in professionals. Today, we have a special guest on our show, the dynamic Sian from LiCaiOhYeah (The Financial Coconut’s Chinese Podcast). He will join us in discussing a sensitive issue that has been making headlines recently: the trust we place in professionals.

What does it mean to be a professional? Is it enough to have a certificate or a licence from a reputable organisation? Or do we need more than that to trust someone with our health, education, or finances?

We will share our personal stories and opinions on this matter, as well as some insights from experts and research. We will also look at some examples of professionals who have failed to live up to their standards and how that affects their credibility and reputation.

This is a podcast that you don’t want to miss, especially if you are a parent, a student, or a consumer of professional services. Don't miss out—tune in and be part of the conversation.
