Money Hacks Ep 51: Making more money from Asian consumer growth
10:56 mins
Synopsis: In this podcast series on alternate Mondays, The Business Times and The Straits Times break down actionable financial tips.
This episode is aimed at how you can make money from Asian consumer growth.
Here to explain that is our guest Nirgunan Tiruchelvam - the head of consumer sector equity research at Tellimer (formerly Exotix Capital). He has been an equity analyst covering Asian stocks since 2004.
As Asia is a massive region representing 60% of the world’s population, he says that the region is on the cusp of a consumer boom.
Find out why consumers in China, India and the Asean region are eating more, drinking more and spending more.
He suggests two investment sectors to look at - Asia's canned beer and traditional meat markets.
1. Why is Asia’s beer market about to explode with the introduction of canned beer? This trend is expected in less developed Asian markets in South-east Asia and China and India.
2. Despite newly-listed company Beyond Meat’s incredible rise as as a veggie meat company, real meat is the real investment story in Asia.
Investors should note that Asia’s meat producers like Charoen Pokphand Foods, are about to see a big boom as prosperity levels rise in China and India.

#PopVultures Ep 11: On brownface and race depiction in SG
14:10 mins
Synopsis: A podcast by The Straits Times that examines all the ins and outs of pop culture, be it Asian entertainment or Hollywood.
In this episode, the Pop Vultures get deep into a serious topic - the act of brown-facing in Singapore entertainment.
The issue came to the forefront of the local entertainment scene this week after Mediacorp artist Dennis Chew participated in an Epay advertisement where he darkened his skin. This is not the first time local celebrities have landed themselves in hot water over such an act.
The Pop Vultures' co-hosts Jan Lee and Yeo Sam Jo invite colleague S.Sakthivel to discuss briefly, past examples of brown-facing and get into why that is often hurtful to minority races.
Is it ever okay to portray someone of another race?
And finally, what’s the lesson here for local entertainment? Can dialogue and engagement between different races in Singapore be further improved?
It’s a heavy topic but one of importance - let the millennial #PopVultures walk you through it.

Green Pulse Ep 7: Geoengineering: Can modifying the climate stop climate change?
12:50 mins
Synopsis: In this new podcast series for 2019, The Straits Times dives into all things green, blue and brown. Green Pulse analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.
This month, ST’s environment correspondent Audrey Tan chats with Dr Corey Gabriel, a climate scientist from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California on geoengineering - the act of modifying Earth’s natural systems to reduce the effects of global warming.
There are two main types of geoengineering strategies. The first is to increase the reflectivity of Earth so the sun’s radiation is reflected back into space.
This is known as the albedo effect, and scientists think some ways this can be done is by making marine clouds brighter or by injecting reflective particles in the stratosphere.
The second is through a process of carbon dioxide removal, where heat-trapping carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere through processes such as ocean fertilisation.
Under this scenario, iron is added to the ocean to help photosynthetic organisms called phytoplankton grow better. The theory is that more phytoplankton in the ocean would increase the drawdown of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, since these organisms require carbon dioxide to photosynthesise.
To date, geoengineering has remained largely theoretical, and is clouded by many uncertainties. It is also a thorny issue that some feel detracts attention away from climate change mitigation, or the need to drastically cut emissions from fossil fuels.
Hear from Dr Gabriel on the types of geoengineering strategies and their surrounding controversies, and what this could mean for the global climate change debate.
