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

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh look at Chinese kids tackling homework the size of billboards, literally A0 sheets that have parents and kids scrambling across the floor like urban planners. Is this a creative way to learn… or just extra pressure in disguise? Then, we jet over to Davos, where French President Emmanuel Macron’s steel-blue aviators stole the show. Memes, copycats, and viral comparisons to Top Gun’s Maverick exploded online and even sent the stock of the sunglasses’ maker soaring. Is this the next fashion phenomenon or the weird economics of the internet at work?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
