Enjoy life" is one of those expressions people love to throw around – often used in the same breath as "Live life to the fullest" and "You only live once." But those two simple words – featured front and centre on Joel Lim's artwork – now seem to carry a different weight. Joel, 22, passed away in September 2020 after a 15-year battle with cancer. Now, Marianne Lam is trying to fulfil her son's final wish — to raise funds for charity with his art. It's in early February when we meet Marianne at her home. Her grief is still palpable, even as she greets us cheerfully. Joel's artwork, blown-up and printed out, is housed in a carrying case in the family's living room. Mounting boards adorned with snapshots from his childhood are accorded a prominent spot, right in front of their sofa. From a suave #OOTD taken on the streets of Barcelona, to a photo of him grinning brightly in front of Chicago's famous bean sculpture, you'd never guess that he was enduring fortnightly chemotherapy sessions, and more, for most of his life. It started with a lump on his hand Her first inkling that something was wrong was when Joel developed a lump on his hand at the age of seven, Marianne told AsiaOne. When the lump persisted despite a course of antibiotics, she and her husband Jeremy brought Joel to the hospital, where he underwent an operation to remove it. The experience left Joel traumatised, she said, recalling how he had tried to bolt from the operation theatre and even required sedation. But Joel's ordeal had only just begun. After weeks of tests, the Lims received the diagnosis: acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Never missed his exams despite illness Joel spent most of his schooling years dealing with relapses and undergoing chemotherapy, as well as several rounds of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-Cell treatment. But he insisted on attending school whenever possible, Marianne recalled. This was despite the curveballs life threw at him – from a bone marrow transplant scheduled right before he was originally supposed to sit for his PSLE, to a chicken pox outbreak the day before his O-levels. But Joel was unfazed. Marianne recounted, "My boy with his 'never say die' attitude was like, 'I'm going to do it!'" True to his word, he never missed a paper, even while he was hooked up to an intravenous drip, itching and in pain. Joel's O-level results exceeded her expectations, Marianne said, and he was looking forward to attending Nanyang Polytechnic's School of Design. But he only got to attend for one day — his cancer had returned by this point and was "more and more aggressive". In January last year, the family was resigned to the fact that Joel's treatments were not going to work. The side effects were so severe that Joel needed medication that would compromise the treatment, Marianne explained. "It's very difficult when you come to that point. Which route do you want to take?" she mused. "Of course, you would choose one where he doesn't need to suffer so much." Joel himself had accepted the outcome, assuring his doctors to "just make me comfortable", she added. Wanted to give back Even in his last months, with his mobility affected by his treatments, Joel remained hard at work, with a single-minded focus on doing good. He started drawing after his older brother Gabriel introduced him to a digital illustration app, creating technicolour renderings of some of his favourite memories. When one drawing, spontaneously gifted to one of his doctors, saw an overwhelmingly positive response (and much envy on the part of the other doctors and nurses), Joel got to work immediately, producing more to give away as tokens of his appreciation. "He needed my help to even move his legs. But even in those times, he was just fiercely drawing." Three of Joel's drawings, featuring scenes from his overseas travels. PHOTO: AsiaOne/ Kimberly Anne Lim He also became determined to raise funds for charity, said Marianne, after she surprised him by printing one of his works on a tote bag. She'd chosen a sunset scene from Seattle, where he had spent some time participating in a clinical trial. Joel chose to add "Enjoy life" to that drawing, she explained it was a reminder from him to find the beauty in the small things. "He had told her, 'I was really enjoying the sunset, I was really enjoying the sandwich before that. I was really enjoying everything that comes my way, you know?'" She beamed as she recalled Joel's excitement when he first saw the tote bag — he had apparently exclaimed, "I can make money!" Joel's last party His first thought was to raise money in benefit of the Children's Cancer Foundation (CCF), Marianne said, adding that the foundation had been assisting them since Joel's diagnosis on all matter of issues, or in her own words, "from A to Z". It's not hard to believe — San San, the social worker who's been supporting the family for over a year was a reassuring presence at our interview, ever ready with fresh tissues whenever Marianne got emotional. CCF also planned Joel's last party, Marianne told us, naming it one of the highlights of his final months. As part of the foundation's Wishlink programme for children at the end of their life or with poor prognosis, Joel requested for a 'Celebration of Life' party to thank his doctors, nurses and all those who had helped him along the way. The celebration, complete with his favourite bagels, pizza and cake, moved him to tears, Marianne said. 'Who else but you?' Unfortunately, Joel passed away in September last year before the fundraising project came to fruition. Still grieving from the loss, Marianne revealed it was a difficult decision for her to pick up the baton. But a conversation with a close friend convinced her that she had to make the fundraiser happen to honour Joel's last wishes. "She told me, 'This is his wish right? Who else but you to carry it out?'" With a renewed determination, the Lim family approached CCF to put the campaign together, offering tote bags with Joel's sunset drawing for donations above $30. Over $23,000 has been raised as of Monday (Feb 8), a spokesperson for CCF confirmed. The campaign, which coincides with International Childhood Cancer Day on Feb 15, will run till Feb 28. Expressing her gratitude for the support thus far, Marianne said, "You're making Joel very happy and keeping his take on life alive. "He left behind an ocean of joy. Of course I miss him a lot. But he made sure to assure us that he was ready to go. "That was the way he was." https://www.asiaone.com/lifestyle/he-left-behind-ocean-joy-after-15-year-cancer-battle-22-year-olds-final-wish-was-raise

The parent company of Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) expects China’s crackdown on cross-border gambling to impact its casino operations. A Resorts World Sentosa employee scans a guest’s temperature last year. The casino resort in Singapore welcomed far fewer visitors in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. (Image: Resorts World Sentosa) China President Xi Jinping has directed law enforcement agencies across the People’s Republic to better prevent mainlanders from traveling overseas to gamble. China is threatening foreigners who market and organize international gambling trips to Chinese people with severe penalties, including prison terms up to 10 years. Xi’s goal is to keep more money in China and less from flowing outside its control to casinos located throughout Asia. Genting Singapore owns and operates Resorts World Sentosa, and is a subsidiary of Malaysia-based Genting Berhad. Genting Singapore says China’s embargo on cross-border gambling will result in fewer VIPs at its multibillion-dollar resort in Singapore. After releasing its full-year 2020 financial results, Genting Singapore issued guidance warning gaming analysts of China’s impact on its operations. China Calls on Mainlanders to Assist China is doing everything in its power to stop an estimated $150 billion annually from moving out of the country via gaming channels. The People’s Republic claims to have already charged 35,000 people on cross-border gambling crimes. Gambling is illegal everywhere in the mainland, the lone exception being China’s state-run lottery. China’s wealthiest gamblers frequent Macau, a Special Administrative Region of China, but also casinos throughout Asia. China is offering immunity for its citizens who have participated in cross-gambling activities in exchange for assisting with the infiltration and apprehension of such operatives. Worst Year in RW History Genting Singapore conceded in its annual report that 2020 was its worst financial performance since Resorts World Sentosa opened a decade earlier. COVID-19 slashed net profits and shareholder earnings by 90 percent. Gross gaming revenue was down 57 percent. The Singaporean government closed its borders to outsiders for much of 2020 to keep the coronavirus out. The island city-state has confirmed fewer than 60,000 COVID-19 cases, and only 29 deaths. “We are most grateful to the Singapore Government for providing various support measures in assisting our resort to weather through this crisis,” a Genting Singapore statement explained. “Notwithstanding the Government helping us and the Group’s implementation of cost containment measures, the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic to our businesses was still devastating. “This led the Group to record the worst financial performance since the opening of our Singapore Integrated Resort in 2010,” the release stated. RWS holds a duopoly on casino gambling in Singapore with Marina Bay Sands. Prior to the global pandemic, both casinos agreed to further invest $3.3 billion into their complexes in exchange for maintaining their duopolies through at least 2030. https://www.casino.org/news/resorts-world-sentosa-singapore-chinese-high-rollers-gone/

Some wet markets around Singapore are seeing huge crowds three days before the start of Chinese New Year. The Straits Times was at the wet markets in Kovan, Chong Pang and Potong Pasir yesterday morning, and some customers said they had to queue for more than two hours. Safe distancing measures did not appear to be observed in some of these lines. When ST visited the Kovan Market and Food Centre at 10am, a queue of about 250 people had formed from the market all the way to Kovan MRT station, about a three-minute walk away. Customers said they had been queuing for between one and two hours. A customer, who only wanted to be known as Madam S. Koh, 60, had been queueing for about 11/2 hours and said this was the first time she had seen such a long queue in over 50 years. She said: "I'm not surprised, it's quite expected. CNY is coming, I think people are doing last-minute shopping." Ms Sera Ho, 62, who works in a legal firm, said the queue was not so long when she visited the market last Saturday. Ms Ho, who usually spends about an hour to do her shopping but took three hours yesterday, added that while she was tired, she did not mind waiting if safe distancing measures are in place and if everyone takes them seriously. Customers told ST that officers from the National Environment Agency were managing the crowd inside the market. CROWD CONTROL An Aljunied Town Council employee who was helping out with crowd control said around 120 people were allowed into the market at a time. Housewife Theresa Tan, 73, said she might visit the market at Ang Mo Kio instead of Kovan today to avoid the queue. "This is the first time I have queued from the MRT station," said Ms Tan, who visits the market three times a week. "It's hard to come again tomorrow. There are so many people and there is Covid-19. It is so scary." When ST reached Chong Pang City Wet Market at 9.30am, there were about 95 people in the queue. Inside, ST saw a safe distancing ambassador patrolling with a crowd controller. Crowd controllers were also stationed at each exit to ensure members of the public did not cut the queue to enter the market. At Potong Pasir, some residents had flocked instead to minimarts, like the one at Block 147 Potong Pasir Avenue 1. When ST visited at 9.30am, customers were seen brushing past one another inside Jackson Market Shop while more than 20 customers queued to pay without observing safe distancing.

Lame reporting... Every year wet markets are crowded a few days before CNY, people need to prepare for reunion dinner and meals for visitors, nothing to do with COVID. Stupid 158 reported as if COVID makes the people crowd the wet markets more...

Tesla’s Singapore sales portal has gone live, a day after The Straits Times listed estimated prices of its cars. The site states that the Tesla Model 3 Performance – a highpowered version of the Model 3 – which hits 100kmh in 3.3 seconds, is retailing at an estimated price of just under $155,000 before certificate of entitlement (COE). The less powerful Model 3 Standard Range, which reaches 100kmh in 5.6 seconds, will go for around $113,000 before COE. The prices – substantially lower than what parallel importers have been charging – are close to what ST posted in its report on Monday. Observers said Tesla’s pricing is likely to propel sales, given that at current COE rates, the Model 3 Standard Range is likely to be cheaper than a Toyota Camry but with more bang for the buck. Both cars fall under Category B COE for cars above 1,600cc or 97kW, which closed at $46,790 at the latest tender last week. Corporate communications manager Tony Tan, 54, calculated that a fully equipped Model 3 Performance would cost him less than $160,000 before COE. “It is essentially a super sports car at half the price,” he noted. Even taxi companies are considering Teslas. Out of the main four cab operators contacted, Trans-Cab and Premier said they would consider adding the American car to their fleet. Commenting on Tesla’s posted prices, Singapore University of Social Sciences transport economist Walter Theseira said: “The Singapore car market has some of the highest dealer gross margins in the world. “Tesla’s pricing appears to be extremely competitive, and a vehicle with similar OMV from an established authorised luxury dealer would probably be priced several tens of thousands more. ” The launch of the local sales portal follows years of speculation on when the Californiabased electric carmaker would return to Singapore, after its hasty retreat 10 years ago that was preceded by chief executive Elon Musk taking jibes at Singapore on Twitter for not being supportive of electric vehicles (EV) and being unwelcoming to Tesla in particular. Tesla’s return marks one year since the Singapore Government announced during its 2020 Budget that it would introduce sweeter incentives to encourage greener vehicles, as well as a plan to expand the EV charging network exponentially.
