Following your literature review, you should propose a specific and clear research question that you would like to study. The research question should be about scams in Singapore. You should also discuss the importance of the study you have proposed.

• You can choose to study any topic related to scams in Singapore. The key is that you clearly describe the topic you would like to study based on your literature review. Examples of possible topics include the following: factors that may contribute to the rise in the number of scams in Singapore, consequences of becoming a scam victim, impact of an initiative that aims to reduce scams in Singapore etc.
•  For your literature review, you need to include at least five academic journal articles that are relevant to the topic of your choice. It is acceptable if one or more journal articles that you have selected are not done in Singapore. The key is that you should explain explicitly how the selected journal articles inform your proposed research.
•  In your literature review, you should critically evaluate the strengths or weaknesses of the selected journal articles, rather than merely present the methods or findings of these previous studies in a descriptive manner. Based on your literature review, discuss the importance of the study you propose, such as how your proposed study addresses a specific limitation of the past studies, any theoretical or practical contribution(s) your research finding(s) may make, etc.
