Singapore surprises markets again as the Monetary Authority of Singapore tightens monetary policy, signalling confidence in the economy while moving to contain renewed inflation risks from higher oil prices.

We unpack what the move means for the Singapore dollar, local equities and whether it could offer clues ahead of this week's pivotal US Federal Reserve meeting.

A high-profile case involving online messages and blurred interpersonal boundaries has sparked difficult conversations about attachment, perception and when persistent contact crosses the line.

Why can two people experience the same relationship so differently?

How can emotional closeness develop without a physical relationship?

And at what point does genuine interest become unhealthy fixation?

Michelle Martin speaks with Dr. Daniela Schreier, forensic and clinical psychologist at Ihsan Living, about the psychology of obsessive attachment, idealisation, cognitive bias and boundary recognition.

Together they explore why some people struggle to let go, how internal narratives can distort reality, and what healthy attachment looks like in relationships built on mutual respect rather than emotional dependence.
