Singapore's data landscape is legally defined by the exclusion of public agencies from the principal data protection law (PDPA), which creates significant disparities in data handling between the government and private entities. The national push for a "Smart Nation" integrates massive data collection through ubiquitous IoT sensors and mandatory programs like the contact tracing app TraceTogether and GPS-based quarantine monitoring. This environment fosters public acceptance, often prioritizing convenience and security over core privacy rights, even as incidents, such as the police accessing tracing data, trigger public debate over governmental trust and potential surveillance overreach.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
