CNA938 Rewind - Ohmyhome Singapore's CEO talks about what's next after split from former holding company Ohmyhome Ltd

Following news of Nasdaq-listed Ohmyhome Ltd selling its Singapore-based real estate brokerage business for a token US$1, Andrea Heng and Hairianto Diman speak with Ohmyhome Singapore CEO Rhonda Wong to understand the decision and how the local firm plans to move forward.  Editor's Note: In an earlier interview with an analyst about the restructuring of Ohmyhome Ltd, a presenter said that the "founders sold the core unit back to themselves for a dollar" and that the sale "effectively ends its traditional property brokerage business". This was inaccurate. It was the listed entity Ohmyhome Ltd that sold the property business to the founders of Ohmyhome Singapore for US$1. Also, while Ohmyhome Ltd no longer operates a property business, the existing property business under Ohmyhome Singapore continues to operate. We apologise for the errors.
