from Money Matters with Hongbin Jeong and Chua Tian Tian · host MONEY FM 89.3

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alexandra Parada dive into the trending stories of today from a viral Chinese app that asks “Are You Dead?” to a wildly expressive toy-filled BTO flat and Mattel’s first-ever autistic Barbie. We explore why millions are paying for a daily “I’m alive” check-in amid growing loneliness, how a Singapore couple’s maximalist home is sparking debate over self-expression versus overstimulation, and whether an autistic Barbie represents meaningful inclusion or clever marketing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
