She was on track for a career in law, studying at the London School of Economics and interning at some of Singapore's top law firms. But instead of becoming a lawyer, Frances Tan chose to chase music.

At just 25, she's represented Singapore at the Commonwealth Song Contest, helped the country win the Public Vote, released her debut EP, published a book, and earned recognition on the international stage.

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Nazirul Asrar dives into a story where a cake shop owner in Thailand had sued a customer who gave a 1-star review... and failed!

But in a surprise twist, the court dismissed the case entirely, making this a win for consumers. So the trio discussed whether owner's reaction was blown way out of proportion, and what they would have done if they were in a similar situation as the F&B business owner.
