SocietyMbappé’s wallet more sensitive than his words? Working into old age? Can Singapore replicate its water story in energy?

This podcast looks at three topics: backlash in China over Mbappé’s remarks about China, followed by his apology and the end of several Chinese brands’ partnerships with him; Singapore’s plan to raise retirement and re-employment age limits a year earlier than scheduled; and Indonesia’s cut to pipeline gas supplies to Singapore, which highlights the city-state’s reliance on imported energy and its options for developing alternatives.
