S1E21: What Formula One's return means for fans, businesses and Singapore's economy

Synopsis: Every Tuesday, The Straits Times analyses Singapore's latest news and announcements.  The Straits Times' Zakir Hussain, Singapore editor at The Straits Times, speaks with Money FM 89.3's Bharati Jagdish. Singapore’s Mice (meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions) industry is bouncing back strongly after being hit badly by the Covid-19 pandemic, with around 25 events timed around the Formula One race, which returns this year.  After a two-year break brought on by the pandemic, the Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix F1 race will be held from Sept 30 to Oct 2. In this week's episode, the team looks at what F1's return means for fans, businesses and Singapore's economy.
