09/10/24 - Mind Your Business: How a new “green concrete” could change the construction industry?By 2050, over 70% of the global population is expected to live in urban areas, driving an enormous demand for concrete, especially in Asia.
As concrete production is a leading contributor to global CO2 emissions, solutions are urgently needed to curb its environmental impact. One company, backed by Amazon and Microsoft, offers an innovative solution by capturing and injecting waste CO2 into concrete, significantly reducing its carbon footprint.
Could this be the breakthrough technology that will reshape the construction industry and help mitigate climate change?
We find out more from Jocelyn Campbell, Regional Director of APAC, CarbonCure Technologies.

09/10/24 - Morning Shot: Can an antenna for fake news be learnt?We scroll through tons of information everyday, but most of us do not always consciously go through them. But with the proliferation of digital media platforms, media literacy has grown in importance in the 21st century.
Just recently, a survey by global market research firm Milieu Insight found that almost four in five Singapore students aged below 18 believe that their schools should include media literacy classes in the curriculum, and are mixed on current efforts such as games.
On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Carol Soon, Principal Research Fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies and Vice Chair of the Media Literacy Council shares her insights on how we can better discern the information we’re seeing online, and what can be done to build an eye for fake news.
