There’s been a lot of renewed interest in gold, so we got Allen Kuo, Chief Investment Officer of Singlife, to walk us through everything we need to know about the asset. He goes deep into the philosophy and history of gold, explaining its value as a riskless benchmark, and more poignantly, what its price can tell us about geopolitics today. We also make a detour into 90s nostalgia and shared culture, plus why it’s important to have physical gold in Singapore’s vaults (but not under our beds).

Scams are getting increasingly common, and we are all at risk. In this episode, we chat with Aaron Chiew, Group Head of Digital Channels, Institutional Banking Group at DBS Bank, who explains why modern scams are less about hacking and more about manipulating trust and routine processes, powered by AI and better “research” on targets. We also explore practical countermeasures companies and employees can use. 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙙𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙮 𝘿𝘽𝙎 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙠’𝙨 𝙄𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙥.𝘼𝘾𝙏 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝙎𝘼𝙁𝙀 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘴.𝙎𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘴𝘼𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴𝙁𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝙀𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘵, 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘴𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘵 yahlahbut.short.gy/DBSScamDefenceForBusinesses𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗼𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴Terence: Craig David - Fill Me In/7 Days (Jools' Annual Hootenanny 2025)Haresh: The White Lotus | Official TrailerAaron: Culinary Class Wars: Season 2 | Official Trailer𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝘀!Drop us an email at contact@ministryoffunny.com!

Childhood myopia is rising at an alarming rate in Singapore. The good news is it is not inevitable. We sit down with Dr Au Eong Kah Guan to unpack why myopia is so common, why it matters to slow it down early and how parents can take practical, science-backed steps to delay its onset and progression. Dr Au Eong also explains why myopia is increasingly seen as a preventable condition, not just a genetic one.Dr Au Eong is Medical Director and Senior Consultant Ophthalmologist at the International Eye Cataract Retina Centre.Find out more about how early intervention can protect your child’s long-term eye health →  yahlahbut.short.gy/childhoodmyopia𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙙𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙮 𝙊𝙒𝙉𝘿𝘼𝙔𝙎𝘖𝘞𝘕𝘋𝘈𝘠𝘚 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘑𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯, 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘦𝘺𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘴, 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 1,500 𝘴𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴.
