  Singapore Unfiltered: Haze Worsens - Should Singapore schools be shut? 16.10.2026 24min

  As the haze worsens across Singapore, some schools have suspended outdoor activities, while others are taking additional precautions to protect students. But with air quality reaching very unhealthy levels and neighbouring Malaysia already closing schools, should Singapore consider doing the same? On Singapore Unfiltered, we ask whether current measures are enough to protect our children, or if keeping schools open is putting their health at risk. And for working parents, would school closures create more problems than they solve?   Join Neil Humphreys & Audrey Siek LIVE every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8.15am for Singapore Unfiltered.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Breakfast Bites: Your sodium intake - Are you concerned at all? 14.10.2026 11min

  Findings from the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) National Population Health Survey, and the Health Promotion Board’s (HPB) National Nutrition Survey found that 95% of people in Singapore consume more than the recommended daily sodium limit of 2,000mg, up from 88% in 2019. That's concerning, given the links between excessive sodium intake, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. But how much attention do you actually pay to the salt in your food? Are you making an effort to cut back, or is it something you rarely think about?

  Singapore Unfiltered: F1 weekend mess | Is Singapore really a clean country, or just a cleaned one? 14.10.2026 27min

  Singapore has a reputation for being one of the cleanest cities in the world. But how much of that cleanliness comes from people actually cleaning up after themselves?... After K-pop boy band CORTIS performed at the Singapore Grand Prix, concertgoers reportedly left behind mountains of rubbish, from plastic bottles and food wrappers to shoes and even a stick-on bra. Let's Talk, Singapore discusses whether we've become too accustomed to having someone else take care of the mess and if cleaning up after oneself is treated as a shared social responsibility from a young age.  Join Neil Humphreys & Audrey Siek LIVE every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8.15am for Singapore Unfiltered.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
