New MoneySmart Study Finds 1 in 3 Adults Experience Relationship Breakdowns Due to Money Disagreements

HONG KONG SAR & SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 October 2024 – A new study released by leading personal finance portal MoneySmart reveals the impact that disagreements about money can have on relationships and how better communication about money can bring couples closer.

New MoneySmart Study Finds 1 in 3 Adults Experience Relationship Breakdowns Due to Money Disagreements

The study, which interviewed 2,000 adults in Hong Kong and Singapore who are currently in a heterosexual relationship, found that almost a third (32%) have had a relationship break down due to disagreements about money.

The most common causes of disagreements were found to be someone in the couple spending too much (43%), differences in saving habits (37%), and not saving enough (32%). Almost one in five (18%) said that they and their partner argue more about money than anything else.

The study also found that many couples are not fully transparent about their finances. While 29% admitted to holding savings accounts that their partner was unaware of, 23% admitted to having debt their partner didn’t know about. This is despite nearly half (49%) saying that they would consider their partner dishonest if they lied about their finances, income or debts, and 35% going as far as to say that they would never forgive their partner for doing so.

Many couples find talking about money challenging

For many couples in Hong Kong and Singapore, being able to talk about money openly was found to be challenging. A third (33%) stated that they find it difficult to discuss finances with their partner, while over a quarter (29%) actively avoided such conversations. Additionally, 34% experience anxiety when discussing money with their partner, highlighting that financial discussions can be a significant source of stress for many couples.

Despite these challenges, the importance of being able to discuss finances freely as a couple is clear. 78% believe that open discussions about money strengthen their relationship, and 56% found that frequent money talks improved their relationship quality.

How to talk about money with your partner

Opening up conversations around money can be challenging. But it is something that can be worked on, according to relationship coach, Iwa Hensarling:

Although sometimes tricky, improving communication around finances is entirely possible. By addressing money matters proactively and collaboratively, couples can strengthen their partnership, minimise stress, and build a more transparent and supportive financial relationship.”

Five tips for talking about money as a couple, from Iwa Hensarling:

1. Start early: Begin discussions about finances early in the relationship, ideally before making any significant commitments or financial decisions together.

2. Create a safe space: Ensure that conversations about money are held in a non-judgmental, open, and honest environment. Acknowledge that it can be a sensitive topic and approach it with care and understanding.

3. Be transparent: Share your financial situation transparently, including incomes, debts, savings, financial obligations, and credit scores. This honesty will help both partners understand the complete financial picture and plan accordingly.

4. Set mutual goals: Discuss and align on your short-term and long-term financial goals. Whether it’s saving for a vacation, buying a home, or planning for retirement, having shared goals can motivate you and strengthen your bond.

5. Plan regular check-ins: Money management should be an ongoing discussion. Set regular check-ins to review your financial status, update your goals, and adjust your plans as necessary.

The “Break the Silver Ceiling: One Photo at a Time” Exhibition was launched by AIC Chairman Dr Gerard Ee, fourth from left, at Our Tampines Hub on 1 October 2024. He was joined by (from left to right) Ms Mindy Tan, Ms Amiera Raushan, Mr Noel Cheah, Ms Hanan Al-Johary, Mr Jack Neo, Mr Ian Jeevan, and Ms Lim Peifen.
The “Break the Silver Ceiling: One Photo at a Time” Exhibition was launched by AIC Chairman Dr Gerard Ee, fourth from left, at Our Tampines Hub on 1 October 2024. He was joined by (from left to right) Ms Mindy Tan, Ms Amiera Raushan, Mr Noel Cheah, Ms Hanan Al-Johary, Mr Jack Neo, Mr Ian Jeevan, and Ms Lim Peifen.

This exhibition showcases the vitality of today’s seniors through a collection of impactful visuals. From showcasing seniors in sports and fitness to exploring their vibrant lifestyles and learning pursuits, the photographs redefine what it means to age in Singapore.

Launched by AIC Chairman Dr Gerard Ee, the exhibition is part of the “Break the Silver Ceiling” movement which AIC kicked off earlier this year. With the aim of dispelling age-related stereotypes, this movement seeks to redefine what ageing in Singapore is like. It also aligns with the national initiative Age Well SG, which aims to support seniors to age actively, stay socially connected, and be cared for within their communities.

“Break the Silver Ceiling: One Photo at a Time” campaign

AIC collaborated with four local photographers, Mr Aik Beng Chia, Ms Amiera Raushan, Ms Mindy Tan, and Mr Zantz Han, to capture photographs of seniors who challenge traditional perceptions of how ageing or seniors look. The photographs are available on an online photo bank at www.breakthesilverceiling.com/photobank/, and showcased at the “Break the Silver Ceiling: One Photo at a Time” Exhibition.

One of the photographs shows Ms Tan Li Leng, aged 67, pole-dancing with her friend, Ms Sudha Muthukrishnan, aged 69. Taking up the sport a few years ago, Ms Tan is now a pole-dancing instructor as well. This photograph was taken by Mr Han.

Other photographs include 74-year-old Ms Doris Tang, an active volunteer and participant at her neighbourhood’s Active Ageing Centre, who was photographed volunteering in food distribution by Ms Tan, as well as Mr Raymond Wong, aged 68, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist who was photographed playing various musical instruments by Ms Raushan.

A photo contest held from 21 August to 15 September 2024 also called for the public to contribute their own photos of seniors breaking silver ceilings through pursuing their diverse passions under three themes – sports and fitness, lifestyle and leisure, and learning. Close to 200 entries were received. Please refer to Annex A for the winning submissions. Selected photos are also showcased in the exhibition.

One of the winning photographs captured a 67-year-old senior playing a game of table tennis. Poh Yiling, aged 35, who photographed the moment, shared, “I believe one should embrace ageing with a positive mindset by staying engaged, curious, and have a passion for lifelong learning.”

Mr Dinesh Vasu Dash, Chief Executive Officer of AIC, said of the campaign, “Singapore’s demography is shifting and it is time to embrace our later years as a new chapter of life. This campaign is not just about showcasing the remarkable vitality of our seniors; it’s about shifting societal attitudes and fostering a more inclusive and supportive community. By redefining what ageing looks like, we hope to inspire others to see the potential and possibilities in every individual, regardless of their age. Together, let’s break the silver ceiling and make Singapore a city for all ages.”

Activities at the “Break the Silver Ceiling: One Photo at a Time” Exhibition

Besides viewing the photographs in the exhibition, there are two free photography events for seniors on 2 October 2024. They are conducted by SilverStreak, a local online community that connects seniors, in partnership with Sony Singapore. The photo walks will introduce participants to essential camera skills and photography tips, as well as photographing human subjects and places.

From 4 to 6 October 2024, visitors can also get a free sketched portrait of themselves drawn by Singapore Polytechnic students, depicting them in their silver years, at the exhibition.

NIA showcases Thailand’s Global Innovation Index 2024

Ranking: Up 2 places to 41st – the best in a decade

  • NIA partners with allies to delve into the roadmap for innovation development, propelling Thailand towards becoming an ‘Innovation Nation’

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 October 2024 – The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation (MHESI), through the National Innovation Agency (NIA), has announced the results of the Global Innovation Index 2024 (GII 2024) under the theme ‘Unlocking the Promise of Social Entrepreneurship.’ The index, organized by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), measures the innovation capabilities of 133 countries worldwide. Thailand has risen to 41st this year, improving by two ranks from the previous year. The announcement was accompanied by a forum on ‘Innovation System Development and Driving Thailand towards an Innovation Nation,’ held in partnership with key stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem, including the Thailand Science Research and Innovation (TSRI), the Ministry of Commerce, the Department of Intellectual Property, the Creative Economy Agency (Public Organization), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

Dr Krithpaka Boonfueng, Executive Director of the National Innovation Agency (Public Organization) or NIA, revealed that this year’s GII focuses on unlocking the potential of social entrepreneurship. This theme reflects the rapid rise of social entrepreneurs seeking innovative solutions to address pressing social issues. The study in this area assists policymakers and innovation support programs in expanding and improving social entrepreneurship initiatives to create a broader impact, thereby transforming society more effectively.

“This year marks a positive milestone for Thailand’s innovation sector as the country has climbed to 41st place in the Global Innovation Index 2024, scoring 36.9, up from 43rd place. Thailand has shown improvements in both the Innovation Input Sub-Index, moving up to 41st from 44th, and the Innovation Output Sub-Index, climbing to 39th from 43rd. This progress reflects the efficiency of innovation inputs in generating greater innovation outputs, exceeding the level of investment put in to enhance innovation capabilities.”

“Thailand is classified among the countries that deliver better results than expected at its level of economic development. Compared with 34 upper-middle-income economies, Thailand’s innovation performance is above average in all factors. Similarly, in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Oceania, Thailand ranks 9th out of 17 countries and remains 3rd among ASEAN nations. Most ASEAN countries have seen an improvement in their GII rankings, particularly Indonesia, which has made a significant leap of 7 places to 54th; Vietnam, which has risen by two places to 44th; and Malaysia, which has moved up by 3 places to 33rd,” Dr Krithpaka explained.

Dr Krithpaka also added that when examining Thailand’s innovation capabilities across the seven key factors, the country’s ranking has improved in nearly every category compared to last year. Notably, the Business Sophistication factor has climbed by two places to 41st. The indicator for Gross Domestic Expenditure on Research and Development (GERD) financed by businesses has maintained its global no. 1 spot for the fifth consecutive year. This underscores the private sector’s ongoing investment in enhancing business innovation capabilities through continuous research and development.

“Another significant aspect of today’s event is the gathering of a network of partners who will collectively drive Thailand towards becoming a globally recognized Innovation Nation. The forum on ‘Innovation System Development and Driving Thailand towards an Innovation Nation’ included key participants such as NIA, the Thailand Science Research and Innovation (TSRI), the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) under the Ministry of Commerce, and the Creative Economy Agency (CEA). We also had the honor of welcoming WIPO representatives who joined the event online. This gathering demonstrates Thailand’s readiness and commitment to promoting the development of research, science, and innovation, utilizing intellectual property, and fostering the creative economy through the policies, missions, and key initiatives of each organization.”

“Today’s activities serve as a foundation for future collaboration among partners, aimed at systematically and comprehensively elevating innovation in line with the Global Innovation Index (GII) framework, steering Thailand towards becoming an Innovation Nation.”

BREAKING: Bus Fire Claims Lives of Young Students in Bangkok

Photo credit: สรยุทธ สุทัศนะจินดา กรรมกรข่าว

LATEST UPDATE: 02 October at 1:17 PM


A school bus from Uthai Thani carrying 44 people – 38 students and six teachers – traveling to Ayutthaya caught fire on its way in Rangsit, Pathum Thani, Thailand on 1 October, killing 23, injuring 5 Thai media reported.

A recent report detailed an incident in which a bus, approaching a curved road near the National Monument, collided with the side of a Mercedes. The impact caused the bus to lose control and scrape along the central barrier for over 600 meters before coming to a stop, at which point a fire broke out at the front of the vehicle.

The fire started with a loud explosion at the rear of the bus and quickly spread throughout the interior. The driver, acting swiftly, exited the bus and opened the front door, allowing some of the children to escape. However, others tried to flee through the rear door.

Emergency services arrived on the scene and rescued 19 people from the burning bus, transporting them to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Hours after the incident, the bus driver, a resident of Ang Thong province, surrendered to police and is now under investigation.

PM Paetongtarn then instructed Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul to oversee the incident. The government has committed to covering hospital treatment costs and providing support for the affected families.

Local officials are coordinating with the school and law enforcement to ensure that all affected students receive the necessary care.

As investigations continue, the focus remains on providing assistance to the victims and their families while addressing the safety concerns surrounding transportation for school activities.

SICPA world leader in fuel marking by volume, with over 60 billion liters marked per year

PRILLY, SWITZERLAND – EQS Newswire – 1 October 2024 – In less than a decade, SICPA has become the global market leader in turnkey fuel marking services, now providing fraud detection capability and revenue optimization for over 60 billion liters of petroleum products annually.

Since 2016, SICPA has been successfully deploying its Fuel Integrity Solution (FIS) in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. FIS is a robust integrated fuel marking solution that provides traceability, monitoring and fraud detection capabilities throughout the supply chain. It answers a serious challenge: according to the United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research, with more than USD 130 billion worth of fuels stolen worldwide every year, it is the largest smuggled natural resource.

SICPA’s highly resilient forensic markers are introduced into fuel products at all points of entry in a territory. Inspection vehicles equipped with mobile field analyzers can precisely quantify the markers’ level in fuel products, in less than 5 minutes, all along the supply chain. Strategic data reporting provides key information on fuel consumption and risk patterns related to fraud detection.

SICPA has acquired solid technological experience through its fuel marking contracts, helping governments achieve their ambitious goals, such as safeguarding and optimising tax collection, combating illicit activities throughout the supply chain, ensuring that consumers receive the product quality they expect and reducing air pollution caused by adulteration with substandard products.

SICPA’s FIS enables governments to effectively combat illicit trade by tackling various types of fraud such as smuggling, under declaration, diversion, dumping, adulteration, or dilution. In the Middle East for example, FIS helps authorities to prevent the illegal export of domestic fuel to neighbouring countries as well as its misuse in the domestic market.

SICPA also benefits from a global strategic partnership with Swiss company SGS, the global leader and an unmatched partner for fuel marking operations, field inspection and testing services. SICPA and SGS have a proven track record of successful collaboration ensuring the performance, stability, and robustness of their joint fuel integrity programs.

SICPA’s FIS benefits are recognized by governmental authorities worldwide. Based on a century of combined cutting-edge innovations in material, digital and data science domains, we provide public authorities with ultra-fast forensic detection capabilities on the field, allowing court-admissible evidence. Our system also enables governments to manage their strategic oil reserves, preserving their energy independence and helping to maintain national security by avoiding fuel shortages” explains Omar Messlem, Head of Fuel Segment at SICPA.
