: This study was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of the National University of Singapore (NUS-IRB-2022-444). Prospective study participants were informed about the research aim, the potential risks and benefits of participation, and their right to withdraw at any time. They were also informed that, during the data collection interviews, they could skip any questions if they felt uncomfortable. Moreover, if the interviewer noticed any distress among the participants during the interviews, the session would be paused or stopped until they regained composure. The affected participants would be referred to their assigned counsellors at Allkin Singapore for assistance. Lastly, for anonymity, the participants were assigned alphabetical letters and numbers when quoted in this study.
