Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S1E70: Frasers Property’s hospitality revamp
Q: Can you explain why it was proposed and what feedback have you received from investors so far?
The plan is to sell mature, lower-yielding assets to the co-owner at prices above latest valuations, maintain management fees, and use the proceeds to strengthen capital efficiency and future growth potential, with governance safeguards in place; investors have shown varied reactions, reflecting concerns about minority protection and deal terms.
S3E8: NTUC's Deputy Secretary-General Desmond Tan on jobs, AI and layoffs
Q: Can you tell me a little bit more about AI Ready SG and how it helps workers and businesses?
AI Ready SG offers a tiered training approach (AI literacy, AI fluency, AI proficiency) and supports business transformation through corporate training committees to help firms adopt AI while upskilling workers.
S3E8: NTUC's Deputy Secretary-General Desmond Tan on jobs, AI and layoffs
Q: Given the current landscape with AI disruption and the changes to jobs, do you think everyone should be a union member?
Yes, joining a union is advisable as it provides a partner to navigate change, with programs like upskilling, protection, and job placement designed to help workers stay relevant in the AI economy.
S1E1: Why here, why now? Ambiq Micro's Global CEO Humi Esaka on listing in Singapore
Q: Why is Singapore chosen as an Asian hub for Ambiq, beyond listing access?
Singapore offers neutral political ground, a strong talent pool for semiconductor design and software, and a conducive environment for building an Asia-centric R&D and engineering hub.
S1E1: Why here, why now? Ambiq Micro's Global CEO Humi Esaka on listing in Singapore
Q: Could you walk us through how this dual listing works mechanically?
The NYSE trades continue and Singapore mirrors those prices; Singapore trades its own price based on NYSE values, allowing investors to trade 24/7 access and return to NYSE when SGX closes, without issuing new shares yet.
