Press Appearance – Asia Top Investigation (Private Investigator in Singapore) on The Daily Ketchup Podcast

Asia Top Investigation was recently featured on The Daily Ketchup Podcast, one of Singapore’s most-watched talk-style shows on YouTube, for an open, behind-the-scenes conversation about what private investigation work really looks like in Singapore.


In the episode, ATI’s investigator Ivan joined the hosts to share a grounded, real-world perspective on sensitive relationship doubts, pre-marital background checks, corporate misconduct matters, and how professional investigators operate within strict legal and ethical boundaries.


Rather than leaning into speculation, the discussion focused on how clients can protect themselves, make calmer decisions, and avoid actions that may create unnecessary risk—especially when emotions are running high.



What the episode covered


During the conversation, Ivan addressed several key topics, including:


  • How common relationship-related investigation requests are, and why many clients seek clarity before making major life decisions


  • Common early indicators clients notice when something feels “off” in a relationship—especially changes that are unusual for that specific person’s normal routine


  • Why professional investigations prioritise discretion and confidentiality, and why keeping client details on a strict need-to-know basis is critical


  • How investigations are scoped and planned, including how manpower is allocated depending on the situation


  • Pre-marital background checks, and why some individuals choose “trust, but verify” as a form of due diligence before long-term commitments


  • Non-relationship case types, such as scam-related enquiries, family safety concerns, and employee misconduct scenarios


  • What makes a responsible investigator, including the importance of calm judgment, legal knowledge, and professional detachment (so the work remains objective)



A key takeaway: clarity first, confrontation later


One of the most practical insights shared in the episode was the importance of staying calm and avoiding premature confrontation when doubts first surface.


Many clients, Ivan explained, reach out when they feel mentally exhausted—unable to sleep, unable to focus, and stuck in a loop of uncertainty. In those moments, acting emotionally can escalate the situation and reduce the chance of obtaining clear answers.


ATI’s approach is centred on helping clients regain clarity and understand their options—so they can move forward with a steadier head, whether the outcome is reassurance, resolution, or a difficult truth.



A perspective people rarely hear from a private investigator in Singapore: not every case ends the way clients expect


The episode also highlighted something many people don’t realise: sometimes the facts reveal a very different story than what fear initially suggests.


In some cases, what looks like suspicious behaviour may turn out to be stress-related withdrawal, mental burnout, or a need for personal space—reminding viewers why professional investigation needs to be evidence-based, not assumption-based.



Professional standards: legal, ethical, and confidential


Ivan also spoke about the importance of operating within strict boundaries, including:


  • Working only within lawful limits

  • Refusing requests that cross ethical or legal lines

  • Conducting conflict-of-interest checks (and declining cases when appropriate)

  • Treating confidentiality as the #1 priority, especially where clients are high-profile or situations are highly sensitive


This is a key reason why many clients and businesses seek professional help: it reduces risk, protects privacy, and keeps decisions grounded in facts.
