Talk of the Town: With the retirement age raised to 65, will we ever be able to afford to retire in Singapore?

Singapore will raise its statutory retirement age to 65 and re-employment age to 70 from 2029, bringing the changes forward by a year. But as Singapore’s population ages and the cost of living continues to weigh on households, a bigger question emerges: are we giving people more opportunities to work, or are more Singaporeans finding it difficult to afford retirement?  Let’s Talk, Singapore invites Janice Chia, Founder & Managing Director, Ageing Asia to explore the limits of raising the retirement age, the realities facing older workers, and what it will take for Singaporeans to have a genuine choice about when to stop working.

Singapore Unfiltered: Should Singaporeans feel obligated to support local films and the arts?

After a viral video showed just seven moviegoers at a screening of local film The Sandbox, veteran film producer Daniel Yun sparked debate by arguing that Singaporeans should never feel obligated to watch a film simply because it is made in Singapore.

We speak with Daniel Yun, the producer behind iconic Singapore films like I Not Stupid and 881, to explore whether national pride should have a place in supporting the arts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
