What's Trending: Run with your boss or get fired? And, lonely in Singapore? 1 in 10 has no close friends

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

From forced 7am runs with your boss to the quiet reality of friendship in Singapore, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh break it all down on What's Trending. We start in China, where “business running” is taking off in major cities. Office workers are now jogging with colleagues and even clients as a new way to bond, network and build trust. Supporters say it boosts productivity and cooperation. Critics say it blurs work-life boundaries. Then, we bring the conversation home. A new study finds that 1 in 10 Singaporeans does not have any close friendships. And increasingly, some are even turning to AI chatbots for casual conversation or emotional support. So what does all this say about how we connect today? Are work and personal boundaries eroding?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
