Vulcan Post

Vulcan Post Vulcan Post is a Singapore-based business and economy explainer platform. Today, Vulcan Post connects the founder journey with the bigger economic picture.

We help people understand how businesses, founders, policies, and economic forces shape life and work in Singapore — especially when official narratives don’t seem to match. We started by telling founder stories: the risks they took, the decisions they made, and the realities behind building companies in Singapore. Over time, we realised those stories only fully make sense when you also understand the system around them: capital, incentives, regulation, labour markets, and consumer behaviour. We help people understand how businesses, founders, policies, and economic forces shape life and work in Singapore, especially when official narratives don’t always reflect lived experience. We explain:
- why some founders grow companies without hiring,
- why startups succeed, or quietly fail,
- why job markets feel tight even when the economy is growing,
- how policies and business decisions show up in everyday life. Founders remain central to our coverage. Not as untouchable heroes or hype, but as real people navigating real constraints. Their wins, failures, and trade-offs often reveal more about how the system works than any press release or headline. Our work is grounded in data, context, and local reality. We focus on Singapore first, while drawing lessons from global trends where relevant. Vulcan Post is for people who are curious, thoughtful, and trying to make sense of change, whether you’re a founder, a professional, or simply someone navigating an increasingly complex economy.

Grab has launched an online car marketplace in Singapore, offering both new and pre-owned vehicles for sale.

The platform had more than 40 listings on launch day, including cars from dealerships such as SG Car Choice and CarTimes, as well as GrabRentals.

All 20-plus new cars listed were electric or hybrid models, as Grab looks to create more pathways for drivers and consumers to own EVs.

The move expands Grab's role beyond ride-hailing, food and grocery delivery into vehicle retail and financing, particularly targeting private-hire drivers and EV adoption.

But Singapore’s car marketplace is already a crowded space, with established players competing for buyers. Whether Grab can carve out a niche in the market remains to be seen.

More than 40 cars are listed on the platform currently.

Cinnabon will close its last Singapore outlet at ION Orchard on Sept 22, ending its roughly 3½-year run in the country.

The American cinnamon roll chain first entered Singapore in February 2023 at Raffles City, later expanding to ION Orchard and Jewel Changi Airport.

The Raffles City and Jewel outlets have since closed.

The closure comes amid a wider wave of dessert-industry closures, including Tom’s Palette and Tarte by Cheryl Koh.
