ST Podcast: A Game Of Two Halves | Season 1 | Ep 14 - Hope for the new-look Lions following Suzuki Cup exit and Singapore diving's watershed moment
Time: 9:01 mins
Host David Lee hosts his ST sports colleagues Sazali Abdul Aziz, Nicole Chia and Rohit Brijnath in this episode.
What are the key takeaways after the Lions failed to progress from the group stages of the Suzuki Cup again?
Did the Lions under the direction of Fandi Ahmad, show any promise for the future though? Is there hope for the SEA Games next year?
Meanwhile, the Singapore diving team had never won a Fina Diving Grand Prix title in the five years that they have been competing in the series. But on the final day of the three-day Singapore stop at the OCBC Aquatic Centre on Sunday (Nov 25), the Republic clinched two gold medals, via twins Timothy and Mark Lee, and Jonathan Chan.
How did Singapore diving achieve this turnaround?

Money Hacks Ep 27: How technology helps you understand insurance policies and buy with confidence
9:30 mins
Synopsis: In this new podcast series for 2018, The Straits Times and The Business Times offer tips for the newcomer to the financial and investment scene.
Can a 100% digital approach help you plan your insurance or children's education or retirement needs, more simply and transparently?
Traditionally, companies might ask if you need insurance or other products, in simple yes or no terms. These days, a more holistic approach is being sought out by customers with the following questions for instance.
What does your life look like?
Are you a working professional? Are you planning a family? Do you have a family? Do you have ageing parents?
Looking at what products match your personal goals is what Singapore Life aims to do.
It is the first independent life insurance company licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore since 1987, with policies protected by the Policy Owners' Protection Scheme.
Singapore Life's founder and chief executive Walter de Oude and its chief technology officer Robert Ross, explain more in this podcast episode.

Money Hacks Ep 26: How to achieve a $3,000-a-month retirement income by planning early
9:30 mins
Synopsis: In this new podcast series for 2018, The Straits Times and The Business Times offer tips for the newcomer to the financial and investment scene.
Retirement planning can be made simpler if we start to apply simple and established formulas to calculate what we need at the age of 65, assuming a continued lifespan of 20 years or so after that age.
Mr Walter de Oude, founder and chief executive of SingaporeLife - a next generation life insurance company licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore - explains two simple steps to take after listening to this episode.
Step 1: Start by looking at existing CPF calculators online, and read up on the CPF Life scheme for a start.
With the current CPF payout eligibiity age at 65, the CPF Life scheme - introduced in 2009 - provides a monthly income for as long as you live.
Step 2: How to add other formulas like the 4% rule to do a set of mental calculations, or even the "300" formula, where you take your current monthly expense figure and multiply it by 300.
The result is the figure you need in your kitty to keep up your lifestyle even after retirement.
