Breakfast Bites: 85% of Singaporean workers feel at risk of burnout. Do you?
It's time to sober up and think about something serious: we’re going to talk about burnout. If you've experienced it, you know the feeling: an ongoing state of feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, and emotionally drained.
A study done by Mercer in 2022 suggests that 85% of Singapore employees say they feel at risk of extreme burnout. It’s gotten to the point where at one period after COVID, Mercer reported that 50% of workers said they intended to quit their jobs within a year.
Audrey, Ryan and Emaad talk about their experiences with burnout, who are most at risk, and what to do to help.

Morning Shot: Sustainable aviation fuels - will this decarbonization solution take off?
Since its inception, air travel has been a huge boon for humanity.
Unfortunately, it also creates a sizeable carbon footprint, as flying contributes around 2 percent of all carbon emissions globally.

How can we ensure it is adopted not just by some countries and governments but the wider world?
After all, SAFs are expensive and not easily scalable.
On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr. Bhupendra Khandelwal, Associate Professor in Fuels and Combustion, Mechanical Engineering Department, The University of Alabama, shares his insights.
