With high stakes in the upcoming general election in 2025, Singapore risks ending up with a much weaker government if there is a modest swing in popular votes against the ruling party. Speaking at the party conference over the weekend, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong says that the People’s Action Party can no longer 'afford to stay in the background'. To that end, he stressed that the party has to come out to explain policies and mobilise citizens for the causes that PAP believes in, and to engage Singaporeans on the issues they care about, and importantly, to show them why they can trust and depend on the PAP to provide the leadership for Singapore. On Part Two of this episode of Morning Shot, Eugene Tan, Associate Professor of Law, Yong Pung How School of Law, Singapore Management University, and Dr Mustafa Izzudin, Senior International Affairs Analyst, Solaris Strategies Singapore share their insights.

Coral reefs have long been regarded as one of the earliest and most significant ecological casualties of global warming. And as ocean temperatures continue to rise, mass bleaching and die-offs have gone from being rare to a somewhat regular occurrence. Aside from climatic changes, human activities are no doubt damaging reefs beyond repair. Overfishing, pollution and coastal development are at the top of the list of chronic stressors. And meanwhile, reefs are also dredged or sandblasted for their limestone or to improve access and navigational safety in some areas.  On this episode of Climate Connections, Vriko Yu, CEO of Archireef shares her personal story of witnessing the disappearance of a small patch of coral community in just two months during her research project and how that led to the founding of her climate tech venture that’s working to restore fragile marine ecosystems by using 3D printing technology and some good old-fashioned terracotta.  Archireef, which was founded in 2020, made the Forbes 100 To Watch List in 2023. Vriko was also recognised as a Top Innovator at the 2023 World Economic Forum in Davos.
