Money and Me: The best investment you can ever make!

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.

LIVE WELL WITH MICHELLE: Therme Singapore - Singapore's Newest Attraction Is Built on Wellbeing

Hosted by Michelle Martin, today's episode opens with a bold broker call: DBS sees 46% upside in Jardine Matheson and reckons the conglomerate's own targets are too modest.

Closer to home, two SGX names to watch - Apac Realty and Lum Chang Creations.

Then a genuine puzzle out of the US chip sector: Micron and SanDisk are having their best year ever, yet somehow screen cheaper than they did in February.

In the daily UP or DOWN, Michelle runs through Intel's Trump-fuelled jump, Amazon's bid to take on Nvidia, SpaceX's bumpy market debut, and an Indian IPO that could hand early backers - Temasek among them - a 6,400-fold return. All wrapped before a quiet Juneteenth night on Wall Street.

MARKET VIEW: Why a Stock That Doubled Still Looks Cheap

Bloated after meals, wired on caffeine, drained on a full night's sleep - we've quietly agreed to call this "modern life." But what if small tweaks from a TCM perspective might help?

This week, Michelle meets Joanna Wong, the bespoke TCM taste curator who left 30 years in corporate branding including 16 years at Eu Yan Sang, to do what most chefs wouldn't dare: slip Chinese herbs into fine dining, minus the bitter aftertaste.

It's a conversation about digestion as the quiet engine behind your energy, focus and mood - and why what's on your plate may matter more than what's in your supplement drawer.

The conversation is packed with small, intelligent shifts that let you eat well and feel well!
