    Why Are Indonesia's Rich Moving Money to Singapore? 💸 | The Second Table Ep2

    "The people learned one thing: never trust the door." The haze is just the beginning. Vicky and Benn look at what's really happening in Indonesia: a falling rupiah, a stock market under pressure, and wealthy families moving money to Singapore. Then the twist: the government is inviting money in, while making it harder to take money out.

    Family Offices & the AI Bubble | The Second Table Ep1

    "Us common people, we are not supposed to know about family offices. People who know are the top 1% in the world." In our very first episode, Vicky and Benn break down what a family office actually is, who it's for, and what happens when your kids don't want to take over the business. Then: is AI the next dot-com bubble? We follow the money loop between Big Tech and AI firms, and look at a real Malaysian case of how debt can turn into a domino effect.
