What's Trending: World’s first robot arrested by police... and a new Dubai chocolate craze triggers scalping

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

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh dive into chaos, both robotic and edible. First, a humanoid robot in Macau goes rogue, terrifying a 70-year-old woman and forcing cops to step in. How did a 4-foot-tall bot designed for education end up getting arrested? And, what does this say about our increasingly unpredictable relationship with technology? Then, we turn to a very different kind of frenzy: the Dubai chocolate craze has evolved into a full-blown cake obsession in Taiwan, with fans sprinting, queuing for hours, and even reselling slices at triple the price. Is the Dubai chocolate hype getting out of hand?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
