    The Hot Seat: Does the bystander effect reveal a lack of empathy?

    In light of recent cases, the bystander effect has once again captured public attention. A child wanders alone through a busy MRT station. A man collapses on the street. At Singapore Management University, a video went viral showing a woman kicking another woman on the ground, and bystanders watching, hesitating to intervene. Dozens of people see, yet no one moves. And even if the cameras are raised, eyes dart away, and the crowd waits for someone else to act. Psychologists call this the bystander effect, the phenomenon where the more people present, the less likely anyone is to help. But does the bystander effect reveal a lack of empathy? Or is it simply a human instinct to freeze in uncertainty, even when we care? On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Dr Annabelle Chow, Principal Clinical Psychologist, Annabelle Psychology and Dr Razwana Begum, Head of Public Safety and Security Programme, Singapore University of Social Sciences, to find out.

    Market View: Middle East ceasefire, US government shutdown weigh on global investors; US SEC offers relief for IPOs stuck in limbo during shutdown; The Stock Exchange of Thailand mulls easing rules to boost market liquidity; China tightens grip on rare

    Singapore shares dipped earlier today, tracking movements seen in Asia. The Straits Times Index was down 0.11% at 4,435.52 points at 2.07pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$812.63M seen in the broader market. In terms of counters to watch, we have Seatrium, after the company received a notice of termination for a contract secured in 2022 by its subsidiary Sembcorp Marine Rigs & Floaters, which is now known as Seatrium Energy (International).  Elsewhere, from what a Middle East ceasefire and a US government shutdown mean for investors, to shares of Malaysian glovemaker Top Glove surging after posting its first full-year profit – more international and corporate headlines remained in focus.  Also on deck, how The Stock Exchange of Thailand is considering easing some of its rules to boost market liquidity next year. On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Too Jun Cheong, Dealing Manager from Moomoo Singapore.

    Under the Radar: (SPECIALS) Dassault Systemes’ CEO on Asia as a growth market amid a changing world order, and how the generative economy will reshape the growth trajectory of the firm.

    Founded in 1981 through the spin-off by a team of engineers from Dassault Aviation to design products in three dimensions, Dassault Systemes seeks to revolutionise the aerospace industry with Computer Aided Designs or (CADs).  The aim is to advance virtual worlds and empower innovators to come up with sustainable solutions that address the most pressing global challenges.  Fast forward to today, the French software maker’s solutions touched multiple industries from aviation, to mobility and healthcare, serving 370,000 customers with differing needs and sizes.   And here are some fun facts. The firm says 90% of cars in the world are engineered or built using its collaborative solutions.  And if you’re wondering why your pair of Adidas running shoes perform or fits better – well, Dassault Systemes could have a part to play in that.   But beyond that, the firm is also involved in the building of digital twins of products, processes and even cities to help industries test and prepare for real world challenges.  All in, the company had in July 2025 reported total revenue of 1.52 billion euros for the second quarter of 2025, up 5 per cent from the year ago period. Diluted earnings, though, stood at 0.17 euros, down 19 per cent from the year prior.  But what are the key drivers of growth for the firm and what role did Asia and Singapore play in this regard?  Meanwhile, the firm also introduced its 3D UNIV+RSES at its Capital Markets Day, a comprehensive solution that embeds multiple generative AI technologies along with 3D designs, virtual twins and more. But what should we know about the new solution, and how will the generative economy reshape the growth trajectory for firms like Dassault Systemes? In this "On the Go" Special episode of "Under the Radar", Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian headed down to Tampines Grande to Dassault Systemes’ office to speak with CEO Pascal Daloz, who was in town for just about 24 hours.

    The Big Story: Cat A COE premium blasts past a new record of $128,105. How much higher can COE prices go?

    The certificate of entitlement (COE) premium for smaller cars and electric vehicles (EVs) reached another high of $128,105 at the Oct 8 exercise, up 7.6 per cent from the previous tender.

The premium for Category B COEs, used to register larger and more powerful cars and EVs, was $141,000 – a 3 per cent increase from the $136,890 registered at the last exercise. It is the highest the Category B COE price has been since the record of $150,001 was set in October 2023. What’s driving this relentless climb, and how much higher can prices go? Plus, what does this mean for the average car buyer trying to navigate this market?

    The Big Story: High turnover, same pay. Are Singapore firms playing it safe with 2026 salary increases amid high turnover?

    Singapore companies are keeping a tight rein on salary hike in 2026, even as their turnover levels remain among the highest in South-east Asia, according to a new survey by professional services firm Aon. Companies here are budgeting a 4.3 per cent salary increase in 2026 – the same as the actual growth in 2025. Regionally, companies in Vietnam are budgeting the highest salary hike at 7.1 per cent in 2026, followed by Indonesia at 5.9 per cent and the Philippines at 5.2 per cent. According to the survey, turnover levels in Singapore firms during the period from June 1, 2024 to June 1, 2025, remained among the highest at 19.3 per cent in the region, just behind the Philippines (20 per cent). So, what do these figures mean for workers and employers in Singapore?  On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Rachel Jayaprakash, Research Lead for the Salary Increase and Turnover Study Southeast Asia and Head of Talent Solutions for Malaysia, Aon, to find out more.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
