Young adults under 35 are giving away roughly 40 per cent of their monthly income to loved ones and delaying their own health care in the process. A new Manulife survey puts numbers to a tension many Singaporeans are already living. Andrea Heng and Hairianto Diman speaks with Christopher Gee, Deputy Director of Research and Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Policy Studies, NUS, to unpack what it really means, what's driving it, and what – if anything – can be done about it.

CNA938 Rewind - The Big Question: Are we relying too much on the law to police our online behaviour?

The new Online Safety Commission (OSC) to help victims of online harms secure swift content takedowns and restrict offender accounts has opened its doors on Monday (29 Jun).

With the OSC in effect, will it drive people to behave better online or will it make people complacent, leaving the policing to the authorities? Andrea Heng and Hairianto Diman speak with Andrea Chan, Group Head of TOUCH Counselling & Psychological Services, and Dymples Leong, Associate Research Fellow, Centre of Excellence for National Security, S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, to find out.
