  3. What will be lost, and what has already changed in one of Singapore’s oldest districts? Residents and business owners share their stories with the programme On The Red Dot. SINGAPORE: When Tanglin Halt resident Venkatachalam Gomathi, 57, used to work late at the office, her neighbour made a point of checking whether her daughter was home alone. It is one of her precious memories of the next-door auntie, all of 97 years old. Venkatachalam, who has lived in Tanglin Halt with her husband for 25 years, said: “And during Chinese New Year, her children would come and give a hongbao to my daughter … Very nice. Then slowly, one by one, they all left.” Ngern Kah Cheng has been in Tanglin Halt even longer. The 72-year-old has been selling braised duck noodles there since 1969. Starting out as a street hawker. (Photo courtesy of Ngern Kah Cheng.) Her first stall was next to a rubbish collection centre, and she had to stop serving food every time the truck came by to collect the rubbish. Her brother, Ngern Jwee Chye, 68, later joined her as a hawker at Tanglin Halt Market and discovered the area’s “kampung spirit”. “Everyone takes care of each other,” said the laksa seller. His sister’s husband, 72-year-old Chua Ngen Leng, added: “Back then, our customers were the young folks. Now, they’ve become fathers and grandfathers. They bring their grandchildren here to eat. That’s almost three, four generations.” There is a collage of memories that many residents and visitors will have of Tanglin Halt after its 31 blocks of flats, seven commercial blocks and two markets and food centres are demolished from the end of this year. About to disappear. It is the biggest project under the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme since 1999, and the programme On The Red Dot discovers what will soon be missed. FOOD HERITAGE On the list are some famous food stalls that have helped to put Singapore’s hawker culture on the Unesco Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Wei Yi Laksa and Prawn Noodles, which Jwee Chye set up at Tanglin Halt Market in the 1990s, is considered one of Singapore’s most popular laksa stalls today. The queues start from as early as 6am. “Many traditional dishes were slowly disappearing, so after my mum taught me, I added my own flair,” he said. “She didn’t have an education, but when it came to cooking, she was number one.” The Ngern siblings. Another stall there is Tanglin Halt Original Peanut Pancake, opened in 1965 by the father-in-law of the current owner. Their pancake stand outs as having a distinctive flavour and a denser and chewier texture than the ones Singaporeans usually eat — and costs only 80 cents apiece. But owner Teng Kiong Seng is now in his mid-70s and has not yet found a successor, nor does he know the future of his stall after the market is demolished. He hopes, however, to continue making his famous snack until he is about 80 years old. WATCH: Taste these traditional snacks at Tanglin Halt before they’re gone (2:22) Gabrielle Kennedy, 23, a customer at the market, said: “With every stall being so different, they represent different cuisines, different cultures, and that’s just what Singapore is. So if it was to go away, it would be very sad.” FROM ICONS TO ARTEFACTS Some of Tanglin Halt’s icons are already a distant memory: The now defunct railway line, the Van Houten chocolate factory and the Setron television factory, which manufactured Singapore’s first locally-made TV sets. Tanglin Halt’s rows of 10-storey blocks with diagonal staircases — completed between 1962 and 1963 as one of the five initial districts within Queenstown, Singapore’s first satellite estate — have also become an iconic image. Doctor and food blogger Leslie Tay remembers visiting his maternal grandparents there and what his mother “always” told him: Their unit had “so many people” that she “got married quickly to get out of the house”. A few of the residents have moved out already. He now feels “quite sad”, although Kiong Seng told him they “shouldn’t complain”. The hawker said: “To transform the entire area and upgrade the buildings is a must … This is part of Singapore’s future development.” Still, with having to leave it all behind, many residents and business owners have sentimental feelings about their personal connections in the district. “It’s a pity. I’m very emotionally invested in this place,” said 71-year-old Alice Tan, the owner of Alice’s Hair and Beauty Shop, which has been around for 50 years. All will not be lost, however. Museum @ My Queenstown, located in Tanglin Halt, contains artefacts from bygone industries and buildings that were once part of the neighbourhood. About 150 volunteers help to manage and curate this museum. Non-profit organisation My Community opened the museum in 2018 and has also collected stories and old photographs from residents, to be preserved at the new museum in Margaret Drive. VILLAGE CHIEF Tanglin Halt even has a village chief, as Alice Lee, 73, is fondly known as — or whom Leslie referred to as the “queen of Queenstown”. She has lived there for 53 years now and is one of the head volunteers with the Queenstown Residents’ Committee. Asked about the story behind her “village chief” moniker, she said: “I used to help (residents) keep their keys in my house. Whenever they needed their key, (if) they’d lost a key or anything, they’d come to my house. “One of the uncles lost (his) key. He had to call the key maker at midnight to come and open the door. They charged S$80. From then on, I said you can come over to my house and get your keys.” WATCH: The full episode — Tanglin Halt: Bidding farewell to some of Singapore's oldest flats (23:10) Residents could also get a nice view from her windows, which look out on greenery. Every day at 5pm, she takes a photograph of the scenery. “The view every day is different. The sky, everything, is different,” she said. “Then I can keep (the photos) … for memories.” Watch this episode of On The Red Dot here. The programme airs on Channel 5 every Friday at 9.30pm.

  15. JOHOR BARU (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Johor can expect a further boost to its economy by the next five years with the completion of the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link which will take commuters only five minutes to reach the island Republic, said Johor's ruler Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar. Sultan Ibrahim said he had been informed that the RTS Link was expected to carry up to 300,000 passengers a day. "It will dramatically put Johor as a strategic link to Singapore on another level. Travelling between Johor and Singapore will become much easier and faster. I am looking forward to the RTS," he said in an interview in conjunction with Chinese New Year. He said the prices of properties would go up, as the RTS would make living and working in Johor more conducive for both sides. "There is mutual benefit from RTS, as the link will lessen the pressure on space in Singapore. It will further integrate the two communities. "Johor hopes to offer itself as a technological and medical hub. There is enormous potential," he added. He also said that there would be a stronger boost to the hotel, hospitality and tourism sectors in Johor. The 4km RTS Link - 2.7km of the route in Malaysia and 1.3km in Singapore - will link Johor's Bukit Chagar terminus station to the Singapore terminus in Woodlands North. Project construction in Bukit Chagar began in November last year, with Malaysia starting a three-month public inspection of the RTS Link project last month. The RTS Link stations will be integrated with local transport networks in Johor and Woodlands. Malaysian transport minister Wee Ka Siong had said that out of the 4km line, an elevated stretch of 2.7km would stand within Malaysian boundary. The line would go underground as it reached Singapore, said Datuk Seri Wee. With a capacity of up to 10,000 passengers per hour per direction, the RTS Link is expected to carry up to 300,000 passengers a day. The journey time will be only five minutes and during peak hours, trains will commute at an interval of 3.6 minutes. The Sultan of Johor said the RTS would bring huge economic benefits to Johor and put an end to the longstanding traffic congestion problem at the Causeway. The 4km RTS Link - 2.7km of the route in Malaysia and 1.3km in Singapore - will link Johor's Bukit Chagar terminus station to the Singapore terminus in Woodlands North. PHOTO: LAND TRANSPORT AUTHORITY "There will also be spin-off effects from the construction of the RTS, as thousands of jobs will be created for Johoreans, especially local contractors and suppliers," he said. The total cost of the RTS project, which was earlier suspended at Malaysia's request, is estimated at RM10 billion (S$3.25 billion). Both governments have agreed to a split of 61:39, with Malaysia forking out RM3.716 billion for the project. Mr Wee had also said that for the purpose of Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) clearance, a new CIQ facility would be built for passengers of the RTS Link, separate from the existing CIQ. According to the revised bilateral agreements, the depot of the project has been switched from the existing Thomson-East Coast Line Mandai depot in Singapore to a new location in Wadi Hana in Johor Baru. The RTS Link project was meant to be completed in 2024, but work was suspended. The suspension was extended three times at Malaysia's request. On July 30 last year, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and his Singaporean counterpart Lee Hsien Loong attended the ceremony at the midway point of the Causeway that marked the resumption of the RTS project. The project is now slated to be completed by end-2026. The RTS is located within the Ibrahim International Business District (IIBD) encompassing over 100ha of the existing Johor Baru city centre, which is poised to become the next economic growth zone. The IIBD is set to become the catalyst for explosive economic growth, propelling the city as a financial, health and technological hub. An example of the close working relationship between the state and Singapore is the setting up of a Johor state trade office in the Republic. The state capital is poised to complement Singapore and provide ample land and a cheaper workforce for many industries, where investors can either live in Johor Baru and commute or even set up their offices in Johor Baru.

  23. Dear Dr G, I am in my late twenties and sexually active. My girlfriend recently commented on the texture and the colour of my semen. She said although it was white in most instances, there were several occasions where she noticed a slight yellow tinge. I confess that in my younger days, I once noticed blood in my semen after an episode of vigorous masturbation. The bleeding subsequently stopped, but the colour of my ejaculate changed from bright red to light brown over a course of three months. I hope you can explain the reasons behind this situation. First of all, what makes up semen and what is its normal colour? Are there different colours and what is its significance? Can the general state of health and diet influence the colour of the ejaculate? I also noticed the texture of my semen changes regularly. Is that normal or this is due to vigorous or too much sex? Yours truly, Shady Shaun Semen, or seminal fluid, predominantly comes from seminal vesicles and the prostate gland. It is an organic liquid that assists the passage of sperm to fertilise the female ovum. Contrary to common belief, the main constituent of semen is not predominantly spermatozoon. Semen has to function as a lubricant, nutrient and energy supplier as well as the defender of any "hostility" in the vagina. Seminal fluid also contains proteolytic enzymes, lactic acid and fibrinolysin to deal with the hostility, glucose, fructose and citrate to provide nutrition for sperm, and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, sodium and calcium help to point the sperm in the right direction. With such luscious "ingredients", the texture and colour of semen can undoubtedly vary. A 1992 World Health Organization report stated that a normal human ejaculation is 2ml in volume or greater. It is typically translucent with a tinge of white. However, there is often variation with slight tints of grey or yellow. Obviously, one's general state of health, dietary intake, frequency and intensity of ejaculation can influence both its colour and texture. The most common discolouration is a yellowish tinge. As semen passing through the urethra can get mixed with leftover urine, this can give it a yellowish tint especially when ejaculating shortly after urination. The other reason for a yellowish stain is jaundice. This is a medical condition associated with liver dysfunction, resulting in the build-up of bilirubin - a yellow pigment left behind after red blood cells break down. Although this yellow pigment commonly ends up and is seen in the skin and eyes, it can also give ejaculate an alarming yellow stain. Lastly, foods such as garlic and onions with high sulphur content can also result in a yellowish ejaculation. Blood in the semen is also known as hematospermia and it is also a common and alarming discolouration of semen. That said, serious conditions such as prostate cancer resulting in blood in the semen is quite rare. Apart from bright red ejaculate, pinkish orange or a brownish dusky tinge are typical signs of old blood in the semen. The common causes of blood in the semen may be associated with prostate operations, prostatitis, and sexually transmitted infections. A prostate biopsy, which involves multiple samplings of the prostate, can cause persistent bleeding even up to three months. An enlarged prostate with chronic inflammation can also cause bleeding due to rupture of the blood vessels. Finally, sexually transmitted infections such as herpes, chlamydia and gonorrhoea commonly result in blood in the ejaculate. Such changes can cause semen to change in colour, ranging from bright scarlet red to a murky green. The consistency and viscosity of the ejaculate is another issue that gets some men paranoid, especially without any opportunity to compare it with one's peers. Healthy semen is generally described as viscous and jelly-like. Needless to say, such texture varies depending on diet, level of physical activity and consumption of alcohol. In general thickened semen is a sign of severe dehydration, testosterone deficiency or infection. On the other hand, watery semen may be associated with vitamin or mineral deficiency and infertility. Frequent or vigorous ejaculation is commonly reported to cause discolouration and changes in the texture of semen. Ironically, it is also well recognised that sexual abstinence for long periods can result in disruption of the vessels, causing blood in the ejaculate. Many men (and their partners) concerned about too much (or too little) ejaculation resulting in the changing spectrum (and shades) of the semen often put Dr G on the spot for an explanation. His view since "you are damned if you do and damned if you don't" you might as well switch off the lights during bedroom activities and enjoy the sex, regardless of any shades of climax!
