    S1E3: The ghost ship in the Strait of Malacca May 16, 2022
    Show notes

    Synopsis: In this special series, The Straits Times dives into some of the greatest unsolved mysteries in South-east Asia, and examines the underlying issues that they exposed.

    In this episode, we find out what might have happened to 'Ourang Medan' a distressed vessel sailing the Strait of Malacca in the 1930s - 1940s and the gruesome but mysterious death of its crew.
    ST's Indonesia correspondent Linda Yulisman speaks with Mr Sayed Fauzan Riyadi, maritime researcher from the Raja Ali Haji Maritime University in Riau, Indonesia, and former commander of Indonesian Navy Admiral Bernard Kent Sondakh.
    She also interviewed Mr Siswanto Rusdi, executive director of Indonesia’s National Maritime Institute, and Dr Eric Frecon, adjunct fellow at the French Naval Academy who has written a book on piracy in Indonesian waters titled Chez les Pirates d’Indonésie.

    3:30 A bizarre SOS message being traced to S.S. Ourang Medan

    9:43 Admiral Bernard Kent Sondakh says the crew could have inhaled poisonous gases leaked from its cargo.

    14:12 Mr Sayed Fauzan believes it was likely an attack by Indonesian freedom fighters against a Dutch-owned asset.

    17:45 Mr Siswanto says the Strait of Malacca has been a perennially piracy hotspot for more than a millennium.

    20:00 Dr Frecon describes the more ambitious sea robbers as town pirates who aren't afraid to steal a cargo ship to sell it again.

    20:50 Even with improved safety measures, seafarers in the Strait of Malacca remain vulnerable to extreme weather conditions and other dangers.

    S1E77: How safe and green is nuclear energy now that it's an option for S’pore: Green Pulse May 15, 2022
    Show notes

    Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.

    Nuclear energy is a controversial source of energy that is gaining prominence globally, including in Singapore as a potential solution to tackling climate change. Nuclear is considered a clean form of energy as the generation process does not release any greenhouse gases, unlike the traditional mode of energy generation from burning fossil fuels.

    But following the nuclear disasters in Chernobyl in 1986 and Fukushima in 2011, how safe is this form of energy now? In this episode, The Straits Times environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty discuss these questions with Dr Matthew Lloyd, a research fellow at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, who does research on materials that can be used in the nuclear process.

    Read the article here: https://str.sg/wBTR

    Highlights of conversation (click/tap above):

    01:13 How do nuclear reactions generate energy?

    03:30 Why is nuclear energy considered clean, and how safe is it?

    10:10 Why is nuclear fusion considered safer than fission?

    13:35 How do small modular reactors contribute to safety of nuclear energy?

    15:56 Are rising energy prices causing countries to warm to the idea of nuclear power?

    Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, get our tips on working smarter, getting ahead in your career and investing like a pro with ST's business correspondents and editors.

    In this episode, we talk about hot-desking, the changing out of permanent desks for workers to shared furniture and spaces.

    ST's senior correspondent Krist Boo hosts Chen Tang, the strategy principal at Unispace, a workplace consultancy. Her other guest is Mr Joseph Khong, assistant director at ACE, the national trade association for startups .

    Join us as we discover just how hot this potato of hot-desking could get. And get tips that help bosses avoid getting burnt!

    02:19 Mr Chen on how hot-desking is catching on in Singapore

    03:56 How much savings hot-desking could bring

    Show notes

    Synopsis: The Straits Times' foreign editor Bhagyashree Garekar chats with ST’s correspondents in the Asia-Pacific, the US and Europe every month.

    They talk about life as it goes on, amid the screaming headlines and bubbling crises.

    In this episode, she chats with ST's India correspondent Debarshi Dasgupta.

    In December 2021, passengers boarded the Shri Ramayana Express, a special train that covers pilgrimage destinations associated with Hindu god Lord Ram over 17 nights. They were on what was billed as the "world's first train" to get a vegetarian certification. Everything served to them during the journey was vegetarian, so the pilgrims had nothing to fret about when it came to food.
