Connectivity to three MRT stations, direct access to restaurants on the ground floor and unmatched views of the sea and city — Newport Residences has it all. A rare freehold property at the nexus of the Central Business District (CBD) and the future Greater Southern Waterfront, the 215m-tall mixed-use development by City Developments (CDL) showcases the enduring appeal of a prime location.
Singapore’s telco price war is reshaping how operators make money from mobile services. Features that traditionally generated incremental revenue — such as roaming, international calls and excess data usage — are increasingly bundled into mobile plans, leaving less room for add-on monetisation.
That shift was evident in StarHub’s 3QFY2025 results announced on Nov 14, 2025. Mobile service revenue fell 10.1% from a year earlier, mainly due to weaker roaming and data usage-related charges.
When a contractor finds themselves at the start of a construction project with an urgent problem — it could be a collapsing structure, a hidden foundation, or a timeline suddenly at risk — Reclaims Global CEO Tan Kok Huat shares that he is often the first person they reach.
“People call us because they know we will show up and get the work done properly and timely,” he says.
Concerns over artificial intelligence’s energy appetite are pushing some ideas to extremes. Some engineers, including those at Google, are planning for or testing solar-powered computing infrastructure in orbit. While the idea draws attention, it sidesteps more immediate constraints.
For Bobby Hollis, vice-president of energy at Microsoft, the challenge is far more terrestrial. “We’re still Earth-focused,” he says. In his view, the issue is whether power systems can adapt to a new class of demand rather than finding new places to put data centres.
By 2030, half of the new economic value created by digital businesses across the Asia Pacific and Japan will come from companies investing in and successfully scaling AI today. By 2027, International Data Corp expects 60% of organisations to have deployed multi-agent systems, or autonomous AI agents that can act independently, coordinate tasks and orchestrate workflows with minimal human intervention.
In Singapore, festive gatherings are vibrant, joyous occasions where family and friends come together to honour enduring traditions, share treasured stories and create lasting memories. At the heart of these celebrations lies the kitchen, which calls for appliances that can match the lively rhythm of preparation, cooking and conviviality.
When a company operates across 88 markets, diversity can be both an advantage and a burden. For the 126-year-old Suntory Beverage and Food International, that tension surfaced in the gradual build-up of data silos.
Its 11 business units had developed a patchwork of systems, each holding its own view of the world. Sales data sat in one place, weather information in another and macroeconomic indicators elsewhere. Instead of a single view of the market, teams were piecing together fragments, often with limited visibility into shifting consumer preferences.
In a world increasingly shaped by macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical flux, Singaporean investors are turning to home-ground options that offer clarity, consistency and confidence. The SPDR Straits Times Index ETF (ES3), managed by State Street Investment Management, is one such option. Tracking the Straits Times Index (STI), this ETF allows retail investors to participate in the performance of the top 30 listed companies in Singapore through a single, transparent and low-cost investment vehicle.
