Samsung Electronics unveils the Note eight, their successor to number | :00:16. | :00:27. | |
seven which was famous for catching fire. We look at how Singapore is | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
catering to higher demand for end of life care. Good morning, Asia, hello | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
world. It's Thursday, glad you could join us. We start off with Samsung | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
Electronics and South Korea's smart phone giant is trying to wipe the | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
slate clean with their latest device, the Note eight. Its | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
predecessor gained notoriety from exploding batteries. Recall is cost | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
the company around 5 billion US dollars. I spoke about the safety of | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
the latest device. We subject all of our devices to strenuous testing, we | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
have used that and we are confident in our product delivery. Is going to | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
be the most expensive mainstream phone on the market, are people | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
really going to pay that price? We are anticipating this product to go | :01:35. | :01:44. | |
on sale in the UK at ?869. It has the capabilities of multiple devices | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
in a single device. We believe it is great value. There is no denying | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
that the smartphone industry has become very competitive. Earlier I | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
asked an analyst if the Note series can bounce back. The answer to that | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
question is, have they done well with other products? It's Galaxy X8 | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
device has done well. What about the hardware of this Note eight? Day | :02:15. | :02:25. | |
I've got to position it as the best product in the market in terms of | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
memory, power and its camera -- they have. They say they have addressed | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
the battery issues. I think, presumably definitely, they will | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
have addressed that issue, given the huge cost they have had with the | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
problems with the Note seven previously. Some consumers may hold | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
back before purchasing it to check that everything is OK. What about | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
the next iPhone? Everyone is awaiting its launch. Will it be any | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
different from any other smart phone in the market? I think one of the | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
key differentiator is and being successful in the smart phone market | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
is new innovation. Everyone is waiting to see what the innovation | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
will be for this new iPhone. It is ten years since the original launch. | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
A lot of people are expecting facial recognition technology and possibly | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
wireless charging. Going down memory Lane, do you recognise any of these | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
phones I have with me right now? The evolution of the phone... It has | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
been quite breathtaking. I think I have owned each of those devices at | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
one point or another. I think that the real galvanised nation to the | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
industry was the iPhone, ten years ago. It really changed the whole | :03:55. | :04:05. | |
market. That was Andrew Milroy on the newsstands on Note eight. The | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
shoemaker New Balance has had a landmark decision, that it was found | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
that several companies had used their patented logo, it is believed | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
to be the largest ever trademark infringement fine granted to a | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
business in China. The ruling of this is, the size, it is not very | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
common. Could it be because of the pressure from Donald Trump regarding | :04:40. | :04:50. | |
intellectual property theft? Yes, Donald Trump did indicate plans to | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
investigate China for intellectual property theft. This is a great move | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
for companies looking to do business in China. Counterfeiting not only | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
steals market share but damages the brand. New Balance have been around | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
since 1995 and have been fighting so many counter threads. If you look at | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
the pictures, the shoes look pretty much the same. They have got | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
slightly different names, but they are very similar. The storefronts | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
and logos look extremely similar. Sports makers seem to be one of the | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
worst affected. Another company recently won a court case after | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
there was a logo that looked pretty much identical. This is a problem | :05:40. | :05:51. | |
facing many companies. Uncle Martian? Amazing! You also have the | :05:52. | :06:03. | |
issue with bags, a single A, a double A and a triple A. What can | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
companies do? If we had a segment where we did real and fake, many | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
people could not tell the difference. The hope is that this | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
New Balance ruling, as well as one to do with Michael Jordan last year, | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
it is hoped this will change things. Michael Jordan won a lawsuit over a | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
company using his name. Clamp down on those illegal manufacturers. It | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
is a well-known fact that Asia has some of the fastest ageing | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
populations. There is an increased demand for end of life care. We are | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
focusing on how expensive palliative care can be. It takes a lot of | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
volunteers and funding to keep a hospice functioning smoothly. | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Catch you up on his daily news, this 83-year-old still likes to know what | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
is going on, in spite of being diagnosed with just weeks to live. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
He is spending the last days of his life at this hospice, one of the few | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
dedicated centres in Singapore. It has room for 50 terminally ill | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
patients. It costs $10 million annually to run the centre, with | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
charitable donations from the government and patients. He says he | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
is grateful to be here this doctor is the chairman of the hospice. He | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
also sings to help lift spirits. He says the charitable aspect of the | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
centre is crucial. As the population ages, we have to look at end of life | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
issues. It is becoming difficult for families to manage patients on there | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
own. It is taking a lot of resources. We have 400 volunteers, | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
they participate in the lives of our patients and their families. | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
Volunteers alone cannot address the demands that a rising elderly | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
population requires. These patients get round-the-clock care to manage | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
their pain and symptoms. But there is a shortage of such facilities and | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
a waitlist for this one. A sure sign that demand for hospices is bound to | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
grow. It is not for everyone. Some prefer to stick within the comfort | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
of their own home. This is where the private sector hopes to fill the | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
gap. I see an opportunity for the private sector to engage in private | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
care. I can imagine an Uber type model. The challenge is that nobody | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
wants to pay for this care. To make these model sustainable, we need | :09:10. | :09:19. | |
government financing. Death is an inevitable human experience, but | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
because of the cost of such care, hospices like this rely on the | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
donations from volunteers. It is the little things that can make one's | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
final days as comforting as possible. If you want to join the | :09:35. | :09:44. | |
conversation, use the hash tag, business of death. You can see the | :09:45. | :09:54. | |
markets now, currently, the Japanese stock-market is in negative | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
territory, together with Australia and the SNP. | :10:00. | :10:12. | |
This is after Donald Trump suggested that he could shut down the U.S. | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
Congress is a border war with Mexico was not built. | :10:22. | :10:24. |
