The Hot Seat: Should Gen-Z slang be included in the dictionary? 13:57

1 day ago13:57

13:57

Slang words like skibidi , inspo , delulu and tradwife have been popularized by Gen Z and Gen Alpha, and they’re spreading fast through social media, memes, and even professional settings. They’re so popularised that the Cambridge University Press recently announced that those words, among the 6,000 entries, have been added to the online edition of the Cambridge Dictionary. According to the publisher, such words reflect on growing trends and how the internet culture is shaping the English language in ways both playful and serious. But should Gen Z slang like this be officially added to the dictionary? Or, should dictionaries maintain a boundary between casual, online language and the formal language used in professional and academic settings? On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Daniel Chan, Former Deputy Director and Senior Lecturer of French at the NUS Centre for Language Studies, and Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Studies at the NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and Sascha Stollhans, Professor of Language Education and Linguistics & Pro-Dean for Student Education (Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures) at University of Leeds , to find out more.

Singapore’s indie film community is reeling: The Projector, long cherished as a cultural refuge for cinephiles and creatives, has shut its doors after more than a decade. Rising costs and dwindling cinema audiences played their part, but its closure raises bigger questions.

Wealth Tracker: Why investors are flocking to hard assets 11:22

11:22

Precious metals continued their powerful climb, with gold and silver gaining momentum as inflation concerns, dollar weakness, and industrial demand all came to a head. Investors are flocking to hard assets, not just for safety, but for opportunity, as green tech and clean energy sectors drive a surge in demand, especially for silver, platinum, and palladium. At the same time, the US dollar is under pressure, with fiscal instability and expected rate cuts weighing heavily on confidence. And while crypto assets like Bitcoin have shown resilience, regulatory uncertainty still clouds the picture. So how should investors position themselves in this rapidly shifting environment? What’s the smart move amid a world of rising debt, slowing growth, and accelerating structural change?

Under the Radar: (SPECIALS) What’s next for enterprise identity security firm SailPoint after raising US$1.38B in its upsized NASDAQ IPO? And why is Asia Pacific and Singapore a bright spot for the… 32:50

3 days ago32:50

32:50

The leadership of enterprise identity security firm SailPoint is in Singapore for a business trip, and Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian headed downtown to meet with the team and to find out what’s brewing for the firm. But first, who is SailPoint and what exactly is identity security? Founded in 2005, SailPoint delivers innovative solutions that address what it describes as some of the world’s most dynamic security issues. In particular, the company focuses on identity security by automating and streamlining the complexity of delivering the right access to the right identities at the right time. It might sound like a mouthful, but think of SailPoint as a security guard that ensures only the right personnel enter the right office buildings and gain access only to information that they are authorised to hold. Except that in this case, SailPoint manages and grants access to enterprise applications and data automatically, at speed and at scale. With a presence in over 60 countries and a team of over 2,600 employees, SailPoint serves some of the biggest enterprises in the world ranging from automaker General Motors, to chocolate manufacturer Hershey. And SailPoint is an interesting company to talk about, given how it raised US$1.38 billion in its upsized IPO on the NASDAQ in February 2025 – the first major tech listing of 2025. Now, this is not the first time that the firm has gone public. It first did so back in 2017, three years after being acquired by private equity firm Thoma Bravo. The story gets more exciting here, because Thoma Bravo was the one who took the company private in a second acquisition after SailPoint’s first IPO. So what was the rationale behind the second IPO, and how is SailPoint faring in the months since going public again? Meanwhile, SailPoint said the company is setting its sights on Singapore and Asia Pacific at a time when demand for advanced, AI-driven identity security solutions is surging. But what are the specific opportunities present in the region? What are some major investments by the firm in the region then? In this “On the Go Special” episode of Under the Radar, Tian Tian posed these questions to Mark McClain, CEO, SailPoint. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
