Singapore has handed four hectares of rare waterfront land next to Marina Barrage to a wellbeing destination that breaks ground today. 

Therme Singapore, opening in 2030, is a billion-dollar concept built not around shopping or spectacle, but around something harder to price: how people rest, connect and recharge.

It's being called Asia's first large-scale social wellbeing development, weaving water, nature, culture and health into a single place.

Michelle Martin sits down with the two men behind it - former National Development Minister and Therme Group Asia Chairman Mah Bow Tan, and Therme Group founder and CEO Robert Hanea.

Together they ask why a city famous for planning decades ahead is now treating wellbeing as infrastructure and whether a billion-dollar development is being designed from ground up to feel like a space that's genuinely open to everyone.

Is Wall Street becoming more selective after the AI boom, and are investors demanding more than just growth stories?

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode explores Nvidia's bold move to trade AI computing power for future revenue, Meta's cloud ambitions, and Microsoft's next phase of AI monetisation.

We also unpack why Google faces fresh regulatory pressure in Europe, even as its long-term business remains resilient.

In the EV sector, Tesla tumbles despite beating delivery expectations, Ford struggles with slowing sales, while Rivian emerges as a rare bright spot and Lucid disappoints.
