The $52,000 clinic and a free market fallacy

5 days ago | thepeakmagazine.com.sg |

Last week, Dr Shaun Lum — general practitioner, and, presumably, optimist — stepped up to the table and placed a bid that would make most hedge fund managers blush. S$52,188 a month. That’s what he offered, and won, for the right to operate a clinic in the heartlands, tucked beneath an HDB block in Tampines. The news, predictably, set off a torrent of online disbelief, eye-rolls, and a kind of weary resignation that only Singaporeans can muster in the face of yet another price headline.
From Joe Hisaishi to homegrown composers, SSO’s 2025/2026 season reads like a cultural reset

1 week ago | thepeakmagazine.com.sg |

The Singapore Symphony Orchestra’s (SSO) 2025/26 season reads less like a programme guide and more like a curatorial statement. There’s intent in how it’s been put together — a careful balancing act between reverence and risk. Familiar masterworks anchor the season, but the premieres, new commissions, and emerging voices signal where the SSO is headed. You’ll find the familiar masterworks, of course.
On LinkedIn, making the case for contradiction

1 week ago | thepeakmagazine.com.sg |

Janney Hujic didn’t break LinkedIn. She revealed it. Her now-infamous post — the sentimental encounter with “Piyush Gupta” at Bali Airport, the tearful parting, the later correction — was, for a brief, glorious moment, the perfect LinkedIn story. Self-contained, emotional, mildly aspirational. It had a celebrity cameo. It performed vulnerability exactly how we’ve been taught to reward it: just enough to engage, not enough to make anyone uncomfortable.
Remember Choupette? The late Karl Lagerfeld’s cat fronts the new Hublot Big Bang

1 week ago | thepeakmagazine.com.sg | Richard Augustin

In a move as unexpected as it is audacious, Swiss watchmaker Hublot has chosen fashion’s most pampered fashion-industry cat, Choupette, to headline the 20th anniversary campaign for its iconic Big Bang collection. The campaign, launched in May, marks a dramatic departure from traditional luxury marketing. Known for rewriting the rules of watchmaking, Hublot has once again embraced its disruptive ethos — this time with a cat that neither wears a watch nor can be bothered to tell the time.
Review: Pizza Studio Tamaki in Singapore is worth its salt

1 week ago | thepeakmagazine.com.sg | Kenneth Goh

A peculiar sight piqued my curiosity during a pre-opening visit to popular Tokyo pizzeria, Pizza Studio Tamaki’s (PST) Singapore outlet, which opens on June 10. Chef-founder Tsubasa Tamaki grabs specks of Okinawan salt and sprinkles it in the wood-fired oven before placing the pizza dough in.
Sweden drowns in discarded fast-fashion items

1 week ago | thepeakmagazine.com.sg | Zawani Abdul Ghani

Sweden’s recycling centres are overflowing with clothes after an EU-wide ban this year on throwing away textiles, leaving overwhelmed municipalities eager to have fast-fashion giants take responsibility. “It’s a huge amount coming in every day. It’s been crazy, it’s a huge increase,” said Brian Kelly, secretary general of the Artikel2 charity shop in Stockholm, where rows of bins were overfilled with discarded apparel.
This supercar can climb stairs without jolting its driver and passengers

Chinese group BYD has unveiled a new suspension system on its Yangwang U7 model that is capable of keeping the interior compartment stable and free from excessive vibrations in all situations — even when going up or down stairs. Named DiSus-Z, this system relies on active electromagnetic suspension, which adjusts the height and tautness of each wheel in real time to adapt to the unevenness of the terrain.

, , , Singapore cooking doyenne Violet Oon has been a fervent champion of Singapore cuisine for over half a century, having donned various hats as a cookbook author, television personality, culinary ambassador, and chef-restaurateur. However, starting her career in journalism remains a source of immense pride. Oon was a pioneering food reporter and critic, working at New Nation and The Sunday Times in the 1970s and 1980s.
At NUS, books are thrown and Alexandria is rewritten

2 weeks ago | thepeakmagazine.com.sg |

Let me not be gentle. There is no justification — none, not even a sliver — for a university, any university, but especially a Singaporean university with the resources and supposed vision of NUS, to consign books to the shredder. It matters little how many RFID tags are embedded in their spines, how short the timeline, or what cryptic policy made the act possible. It is an abomination, a dereliction of duty so profound that it deserves not bureaucratic explanation but public shame.
