Did you know that nearly 10% of the population in Singapore suffers from migraines?

Emerging research now suggests a potential link between migraines and the presence of a hole in the heart, known as a patent foramen ovale (PFO).

More than half of all infants are born with a PFO, and in most cases, it closes on its own within the first few months of life. However, in some people, the ‘hole’ remains open. 

Dr Rohit Khurana, Consultant Cardiologist, Harley Street Heart and Vascular Centre, Singapore explains.

Why It Matters: The link between migraines and hole in the heart

Singapore shares dipped today in line with movements seen in the region. 

The Straits Times Index was down 0.23% at 4,996.10 points at 3.27pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$1.35B seen in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch, we have Yangzijiang Maritime, after the maritime investments company said yesterday that it has signed contracts to acquire eight very large crude carrier newbuilds and sell four medium-range tankers. 

Elsewhere, from how Singapore’s key exports expanded by a stronger-than-expected 15.3 per cent year on year in March, to how Netflix chairman Reed Hastings is quitting the streaming service he co-founded 29 years ago, more economic and corporate headlines remained in focus.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Benjamin Goh, Head of Research and Investor Education, SIAS.

Singapore’s schools are set for a major shake-up in how they deal with bullying. By 2027, all schools will adopt standardized disciplinary measures — including detention, suspension, and in some cases caning — alongside a new online reporting system for students to flag incidents directly.

The Ministry of Education says the changes are meant to create greater consistency, improve transparency, and strengthen trust between schools, students, and parents.

But the new framework has also sparked debate: while some welcome clearer rules and stronger deterrence, others question whether punishment alone can address the root causes of bullying.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Jean Liu, Associate Professor of Psychology at the Singapore Institute of Technology, to find out what these changes mean, and whether schools are moving toward meaningful long-term change or simply tougher penalties.
