July’s tariff hike just added about S$20 to a typical HDB bill, and everyone is asking if this is the new normal. In this Daily Pulse, Angela and I walk through the new Indonesia–Singapore electricity MOU, why Sembcorp’s cross‑border projects matter for growth but not yet for “safe” income, and how a 3.4 GW import plan fits into Singapore’s 2035 energy roadmap. We also touch on DFI’s quiet leadership shuffle and what a 0.3 per cent share move tells you about the stability behind your Cold Storage basket. This is a kopi‑length episode about keeping your CPF and SRS plans aligned with where policy and management are heading, not just what your SP bill says this quarter.
Key takeaways:
Indonesia’s 3.4 GW power export plan reshapes Singapore’s future energy mix, not July’s bill
Sembcorp’s role in cross‑border projects leans growth‑story first, yield‑story later
A 17 per cent tariff jump maps to roughly S$17–20 more for a four‑room HDB household
DFI’s CFO‑to‑CEO shuffle signals continuity, not crisis, in its Food division
Daily Pulse episodes are for staying ahead of policy shifts before they hit your DPU
