Meet some of Singapore's most impactful individuals in Influence with Michelle Martin.

If you are going through pain, sorrow or grief, trust that you are not alone

After losing his 26-year-old son Lawrance to manic depression, philanthropist Yen-Lu Chow set out to transform grief into action by founding - together with his wife - the Over The Rainbow Academy that helps parents with resources and which gives young people a platform to "just be heard". The academy aims to help transform the landscape of mental wellness in Singapore and offers scholarships for its training programmes.

Social innovator Yen-Lu Chow believes getting to a "we first society" starts with very important first step; caring for the self.

We ask: in a competitive world driven by individual success, can Singapore move from a “me-first” mindset to a “we-first” culture that protects its human capital?

Is Singapore’s property market quietly shifting after Budget 2026? 

In this episode of Money and Me, hosted by Michelle Martin, we break down what new policies on foreign work passes, AI investment and housing demand could mean for buyers and investors.

Michelle speaks with Christine Sun, Chief Researcher and Strategist at Realion Group (OrangeTee & ETC), about whether the absence of new cooling measures signals confidence that prices have stabilised.

They unpack why demand for some Prime and Plus HDB flats appears softer, and why first-time buyers may now prioritise space over central locations.

The conversation also explores how stricter foreign hiring rules could affect rental demand and whether Singapore’s push to become an AI hub might boost long-term property values.

Finally, Christine shares where investors might find the smartest opportunities in Singapore’s property market in 2026.

Oil shocks, gold surges and a familiar tech giant's stumble - markets are suddenly on edge.

In this episode of Market View, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, we unpack the forces shaking global markets - from Sea Ltd’s earnings surprise and share price plunge to Singapore’s growing ambitions as a physical gold hub.

Gold prices are surging past historic levels as wealthy investors pile into safe havens and policymakers position Singapore as a regional bullion trading center.
