  "account": "On September 24, a team from The Straits Times (ST) was honored by the Singapore Exchange (SGX) for their creative and experiential storytelling. The SGX Orb Awards – An Experiential Treat recognized the team, which included Angela Tan, Charles Tampus, Cheong Poh Kwan, Hau Boon Lai, Poon Chian Hui, Raphael Tang, and Roman Sverdan, for their interactive quiz on the Singapore stock market. The 10-question quiz, designed by ST's senior business correspondent Angela Tan, covered various aspects of the local equities market, making it accessible to readers.\n\nTan expressed her pride in the achievement and praised the team for their efforts. ST's associate editor, Zakir Hussain, explained that the quiz was intended to entertain readers while educating them on the workings and history of Singapore's stock market. This marks the second consecutive year that ST has won this award. In 2025, journalists Timothy Goh and Sue-Ann Tan were recognized for their interactive project on young adults' spending habits, which explored how they allocate funds to essentials, travel, and luxury items, as well as the sources of financial advice they trust.\n\nThe awards ceremony, held at SGX's ninth annual event, featured winners in five categories. The Story of the Year was awarded to The Edge Singapore's article, \"Is there a place for insurance in your portfolio?\" by Felicia Tan and Lin Daoyi. The An Experiential Treat category honored creative works that delve into the inner workings of financial or commodity asset classes. The panel of judges, consisting of fund management industry representatives and academics, reviewed the submissions.\n\nTeo Ai June, SGX Group's head of marketing and communications, emphasized that the awards celebrate journalists who provide clarity, insight, and fresh perspectives on financial markets. She noted that as financial markets become increasingly interconnected, strong journalism is crucial for helping audiences understand the forces shaping them. She added that the most impactful stories simplify complex issues, challenge assumptions, and demonstrate why developments matter beyond a single market or moment.",
