I dun think real top graded AI and robotic will be made available like supermarket commodity.... It is just like Space flight and satelite industry

Even too graded might not be used in everyday life, everything is going to be automate in the future, also mean amount of job become lesser.

No worries, many will sell insurance or property and drive Lamborghinis...

I went through the same thing last year and ended up skipping the usual job hunt path. Looked into trade schools in Idaho Falls instead and learned a skill that actually got me working quicker than most of my uni grad friends. Not saying it's for everyone, but it felt more practical with how things are now, especially with rising degree costs and fewer job openings.

Soi 47 closes all outlets, jailed ex-owner accused of owing debts​

Popular Thai restaurant chain Soi 47 has abruptly shut all six of its outlets across Singapore, ending nearly a decade of offering authentic and affordable Thai cuisine. A search on Google shows that branches once located in Orchard, Clarke Quay, Clementi, Toa Payoh and other areas are now listed as either "temporarily closed" or "permanently closed", with no official statementissued by the company. Even the flagship outlet in Toa Payoh, which was still marked as open online, was found shuttered when reporters visited.

Customer reviews suggest that most outlets were still operating as recently as the previous week, making the closure appear especially sudden. The shutdown coincides with controversy surrounding Soi 47’s former owner, who is currently serving a jail term for offences unrelated to the restaurant. A food supplier has also accused the company of defaulting on over $160,000 in unpaid bills in the months leading up to the closure.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the supplier, He Zhenzhu of Haisheng Food Company, said his firm had provided frozen seafood and meat to Soi 47 since 2019. While payments were regular for several years, delays began in late 2024. The restaurant’s then-manager, Mr Ang Wee Ling, told Mr He that Soi 47 was facing cash-flow problems and promised to settle the debts through monthly instalments.

By August 2025, however, all payments had stopped, and Mr He said he was unable to reach Ang or anyone from the company. It was later revealed that Ang had been sentenced in June 2025 to 14 months’ jail for offences related to illegal labour importation under his other businesses, Toast Inn and Tinn3 Pte Ltd, both of which had links to Soi 47’s operations.

The restaurant chain has since changed ownership, but the new management has denied responsibility for the previous debts. The company’s current director told Shin Min that he had only joined earlier in 2025 and was unaware of the restaurant’s financial difficulties until suppliers began reaching out after the closure.

[SINGAPORE] The Straits Times Index (STI) could rise to nearly 10,000 points by 2040 if historical return patterns hold, DBS’ Singapore 2040 report indicated.

The Singapore dollar could also reach parity with the greenback by 2040, amid policy and safe-haven appeal, the report released on Wednesday (Oct 22) said.

Singapore’s benchmark index has notched a strong year-to-date performance, driven by fading US exceptionalism, which is attracting global fund inflows, as well as the city-state’s safe-haven status in an environment of global geopolitical and tariff uncertainties.

SINGAPORE – Singapore’s economy could more than double by 2040, with the Singapore dollar potentially trading 1-for-1 against the US dollar and the Straits Times Index (STI) climbing to 10,000 points over the 15-year period, the Republic’s largest bank said in an Oct 22 report.

The DBS Singapore 2040 report, which outlines the bank’s projections for the economy, forecast that Singapore’s gross domestic product could reach between US$1.2 trillion (S$1.56 trillion) and US$1.4 trillion by 2040 from US$547 billion in 2024, driven by capital accumulation, human capital development and productivity gains.

It said the Republic’s growth has been underpinned by institutional strength and rising educational quality, which have helped sustain the country’s competitiveness over the past few decades.
