    840: Why “Standing Still” Is the Most Dangerous Career Move

    Description: Everyone talks about upskilling, but is it really as scary as it sounds? Skills Ambassador Dr. Ramesh explains why staying comfortable in your job is actually a trap. He also shares the harsh truth: Upskilling isn't a magic pill that gets you a promotion overnight. It’s like going to the gym. You won’t get a six-pack instantly, but you have to start somewhere to see results. --- Start your upskilling journey today: https://www.myskillsfuture.gov.sg/content/portal/en/index.html?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=organic-video&utm_campaign=project-real-talk&utm_term=yt&utm_content=real-talk-planb-mysf Not sure where to start?

    #839 Is Singapore all glass and no soul?

    With modern skyscrapers dominating Singapore’s skyline, some question whether the city lacks cultural depth but heritage activist and historian Sarafian Salleh says that couldn’t be further from the truth. Just look at Kampong Glam, once known as Seduyong by the indigenous Orang Laut, meaning mermaid. And no, that’s not some wild conspiracy theory. In this ep, he joins us to debunk myths and prove that Singapore’s cultural depth runs far deeper than we think.

    With F&B outlets shutting down left and right, starting a food business sounds risky, especially if you’re only 20 and still in school. Yet that’s exactly what the founders of Berjaya Western did. And perhaps it’s no surprise, considering they first ventured into entrepreneurship at just 16. In this episode, they share how they balance studies with running a business, and unpack the harsh realities of the F&B industry, from soaring rents to financial pressures.

    #837 Landlords Killing Businesses?

    Every other week, another beloved local business shuts its doors, and the reason is almost always the same: rising rents. As closures mount, some say the vacuum is being filled by foreign players, particularly from China. To understand what’s really happening, we speak to the founders of popular halal Chinese eatery Deanna’s Kitchen about their fears for the future, and to Vernon Lim of the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises to unpack what’s driving landlords’ decisions. The answers may surprise you. (00:58) Say hello to Vernon Lim!

    #835 Is China buying up Singapore?

    As local businesses in Singapore get squeezed by rising rents, many are shutting their doors, and increasingly, what replaces them are Chinese-owned businesses. In neighbourhoods like Kampong Glam, the surge has sparked concerns over the erosion of local heritage and culture. If this trend continues unchecked, are we looking at an economic takeover similar to what’s happened in places like Jeju and London?

    #834 Could Singapore Be Next?

    Just days into 2026, global headlines have been dominated by the US’ capture of Venezuela’s then-president, Nicolás Maduro. As Singapore said it is “gravely concerned” by the situation, the episode has raised uneasy questions closer to home. In an era of intensifying great-power rivalry, are small states like Singapore more vulnerable than we think?

    What better way to wrap up the year than with something sweet?

(02:05) What is assorted tiramisu? (04:50) Home-based to storefront (11:35) Challenges of being halal-certified (20:45) Importance of live streaming (22:55) Meaning behind Sugar Mama Lah
