The 2004 Sumatra earthquake and tsunami may feel like a distant memory, but new research suggests its impact is still unfolding right here in Singapore.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Grace Ng, Research Fellow at NTU's Earth Observatory of Singapore, about a new study showing that the earthquake caused Singapore's land to slowly sink for years afterwards.

What does this mean for a country that's already preparing for rising sea levels? Should Singaporeans be worried, or is this simply another factor scientists and policymakers need to account for? And could distant earthquakes reshape how Singapore plans for climate change and coastal resilience in the decades ahead?
