Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S1E61: Can Singapore ever stop being a 'Fine City'? The psychology of etiquette on public transport
Q: Does that mean that if we were to have a campaign to regulate such behaviours, it might not actually work?
Those campaigns could continue, yet we need a social campaign that encourages individuals to call out behaviors.
S1E61: Can Singapore ever stop being a 'Fine City'? The psychology of etiquette on public transport
Q: Do you think that Singapore hasn't matured enough as a society to regulate its own behaviour on public transport?
We've come a long way in terms of commuting behaviour on public transport, but there are expectations from authorities.
S2E31: Should you buy gold now?
Q: What exactly does it mean when we call gold a safe haven?
Gold remains a safe haven because its supply is limited compared to fiat currencies, which can be printed by governments to manage debt.
S2E31: Should you buy gold now?
Q: So would you say that when the markets are spooked or when things are uncertain, that is when the gold price rises?
The rise in gold has been structural, driven by both market fears and longer-term trends in investment demand.
S2E31: Should you buy gold now?
Q: Vasu, could you give us a quick rundown on how gold has been performing in the last few months?
Gold has been performing exceptionally well, increasing by over 55% this year due to various economic factors, despite a recent pullback.
