Growing up, student Jessel Ng and his two older siblings often had to eat their meals apart in a cluttered three-room flat, as they did not have a dining table at home. But earlier this year, the 17-year-old's church friends gave his Geylang Bahru home an elaborate makeover, including a fresh coat of paint and new furniture. More from AsiaOneRead the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. This Christmas, the family shared a feast together for the first time in the renovated home. Santa hats, artificial poinsettia flowers and a Christmas wreath adorned with fairy lights in the living room added to the Yuletide vibe. "We haven't eaten together in a long time. Christmas is a special occasion and I wanted us to come together as a family," said Jessel, beaming brightly as he feasted on Christmas staples from turkey ham to spaghetti bolognese. The family's home makeover was a gift from Heart of God Church, which he has been attending for the past five years. The youth church in Eunos helped to spruce up the flat between December last year and January this year, giving Jessel and his loved ones a more conducive living space. Unlike most of his peers, the teen grew up not having his own room or new clothes to wear for festive occasions. His mother, 56, works as a coffee shop assistant from morning to night to single-handedly raise him and his two siblings, now aged 21 and 22. His father died when he was three. The idea for the home makeover came about when Jessel's connect group leader Ms Nadine Leong, 30, discovered last October that Jessel did not have his own bed to sleep in. The teen, who was sleeping on an old, worn-out mattress placed on top of a television console, had complained of severe back aches. Speaking to The Straits Times, Ms Leong, an accounts executive, said: "When Jessel told me he was having back pain, I thought it was weird since he was only 16 then. "I asked him to show me a photo of his house. Then we realised, no wonder he had the back pain, because he was sleeping on a TV console." Ms Leong informed the senior pastors of Heart of God Church who initiated the makeover of Jessel's home, and the church financed the renovation costs. Over seven weeks, church volunteers helped the youth to declutter his home, repaint its walls and accompanied him to Ikea to get new furniture, including his own bed. The makeover was not easy, as the boy did not know where to begin. Ms Cecilia Chan, the church's senior pastor, said: "For youth growing up in a difficult environment, the struggle is not just physical or financial, but also psychological and emotional. "When Jessel remodelled his own room, he realised that he can also rebuild his own life."

ST PHOTO: CHONG JUN LIANG Now, the boy's bedroom — once littered with tote bags and shoe boxes — is a well-lit space where he sleeps, does his homework and invites friends over. Decorative plants line the walls of his room and stuffed animals create a cosy atmosphere. The St Andrew's Secondary School student also has a study table that is large enough to accommodate his laptop and study materials. Previously, he had little space for home-based learning and had to hide in a corner of his room for Zoom calls. "Now I can invite my friends over. After the renovation, I don't feel insecure about my home anymore," he said. During the Christmas meal with his family on Tuesday (Dec 21) evening, Jessel could not help but feel thankful. He had been planning the dinner for two weeks, including putting up the decorations around the flat. "Having a Christmas dinner of my own at home is a dream come true," he said. "Without the church, all of this would not be possible."

SINGAPORE: Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Sunday (Oct 31) announced Australia would reopen its borders to all vaccinated Singaporeans from Nov 21. This means that vaccinated travellers from Singapore will not need to quarantine on arrival, in states that "sign up to the approach", according to Australian newspaper The Age. The prime ministers finalised the arrangement on Sunday in Rome, where both are attending the G20 summit, The Age reported. The move was welcomed by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who said it was "a significant step towards restoring the close connectivity between Singapore and Australia". Mr Lee also thanked Mr Morrison for the decision. Singapore is the second country Australia is opening up to, after New Zealand. In response to media queries, Mr Lee's press secretary said: "Together with the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) which Singapore is establishing with Australia, there will be two-way quarantine-free travel between Singapore and selected Australian states including New South Wales and Victoria. "Singaporean students can also return to these states to resume their studies." Transport Minister S Iswaran said the move was a significant one. "Families and loved ones can reunite, students can resume their studies, and businesspeople and tourists can once again travel," he said in a Facebook post on Sunday night. Singapore's Civil Aviation Authority (CAAS) announced earlier this week that Australia would be added to Singapore's quarantine-free vaccinated travel lane (VTL) scheme from Nov 8. Before Sunday's announcement, the two-way travel applied only to fully vaccinated Australian citizens, permanent residents and their immediate families due to its border measures. Australia is among Singapore's top 10 markets for annual passenger arrivals at Changi Airport, accounting for about 4 per cent of total arrivals in 2019, according to CAAS. More than 50,000 Singaporeans live in Australia, and about 25,000 Australians live in Singapore. "The VTL will enable them to reconnect with their loved ones back home, whom they have been physically separated from for more than a year," CAAS said in the statement earlier this week. Under the vaccinated travel lane scheme, travellers must have remained in one or more of the VTL countries in the last 14 days before departure to Singapore. They must take two polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests - before departure and on arrival at Changi Airport - and enter Singapore via designated flights. Unvaccinated children aged 12 and below are allowed to travel under the scheme - except to South Korea - as long as they are accompanied by a traveller who meets the requirements.

TUCUMÁN, ARGENTINA – A mother in Argentina has caused an uproar after announcing that her 3-year-old daughter has died shortly after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Miriam Suárez said her daughter Ámbar was vaccinated last week on December 15th and passed away a day later from sudden cardiac arrest. The 3-year-old had received the jab because otherwise she would not have been allowed to go to kindergarten due to a vaccine mandate. Miriam alongside her son addressing reporters after the death of her 3-year-old daughter Ámbar Miriam told Argentine media that her 3-year-old had no symptoms immediately after the jab, but while playing with the neighbor’s kids the next morning, Ámbar fainted and was taken to the Children’s Hospital of Tucumán where she died from cardiac arrest. The heartbroken mother said: “I’m sure my daughter was killed by the vaccine. She was a healthy girl, full of life, without any health issues.” The Ministry of Public Health issued a statement after the death saying: “On Thursday, December 16th 2021, at 12 noon, a three-year-old patient entered the Emergency Room of Hospital del Niño Jesús. Advanced resuscitation was carried out to which there was no response, causing her [Ámbar Suárez] death to be declared shortly after.” Local news outlet Telefe Tucumán spoke to Miriam about the tragic death of her 3-year-old daughter: Ámbar’s death comes as Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA vaccines, warns parents that they may be doing permanent harm to children’s critical organs by injecting them with the COVID-19 jabs. https://thecovidworld.com/ambar-suarez-3-year-old-girl-dies-1-day-after-receiving-covid-19-vaccine-investigation-launched/

Scorning it as ‘Western spiritual opium’ and the ‘Festival of Shame’, China has cracked down on Christmas in recent years as the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) increasingly vociferous brand of nationalism rejects any outside influence or ideas. Christmas may not be traditional or officially recognised in China, but there are tens of millions of Christians in the country who celebrate the occasion while much of the general public enjoy festive rituals that are common worldwide - be it shopping for gifts or going out with friends. Yet under the leadership of Xi Jinping - and since relations with the US soured under the presidency of Donald Trump - Beijing has sought to either downplay or exert control over Western culture or beliefs, and Christmas celebrations have been repeatedly denounced. CCP notices have banned party members, government agencies, and even universities from taking part in any festivities while slogans urging citizens to boycott Christmas are common on social media platforms. For example, in Hengyang city in Hunan province, authorities said in December 2018 that any Christmas activities or sales that blocked the streets would be removed. The previous December, a local government agency issued a letter warning CCP officials to avoid celebrating the occasion and instead promote traditional Chinese culture. “Party members must observe the belief of communism and are forbidden to blindly worship the Western spiritual opium,” it read. Under Mr Xi, the competition with the US and its allies emboldened nationalists at home who have become more vocal in urging society to focus on Chinese culture. While Christmas around the world is celebrated by non-Christians and is often considered a cultural event as much as a religious one, academics said that the CCP was sensitive about China being open to any foreign influence as it espouses nationalism. Rana Mitter, professor of history and politics in modern China at Oxford University, said Beijing was becoming more reluctant to allow the “free flow of what it regards as Western ideas”. “This includes not just religious concepts but also ideas of liberal democracy and constitutionalism,” he told The Independent. Speaking this month at a national conference on religious affairs, Mr Xi referred to the “sinicization of religion,” a catchphrase requiring all religions, faith, rituals and practices to align with Chinese culture and society. Government policy is essentially to ensure that churches put the party and state above the religion Xing Hang, Brandeis University Since its introduction in 2015, the concept has aimed to bring Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism and all other religions in China under the CCP’s control and in line with its tradition and ideology. Mr Xi told the conference there was a need “to develop a religious theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics, work in line with the Party’s basic policy on religious affairs, and uphold the principle that religions in China must be Chinese in orientation.” The Chinese government has faced global criticism and accusations of genocide from countries including the US for its treatment of the Uyghur population and other mostly-Muslim ethnic minorities in northwestern Xinjiang, where about a million people are estimated to have been detained and subjected to abuses. By contrast, there are a relatively small number of Christians estimated to be living in China - around 38 million Protestants and 6 million Catholics - and although suffering from abuses related to their religious beliefs, they have not suffered similar targeted persecution. “The government’s attitude toward Christians, as with other religions, is not necessarily against the religion per se but rather the potential for religion to become a political force and an alternative to the CCP,” said Xing Hang, an associate professor at Brandeis University. “Government policy is essentially to ensure that churches put the party and state above the religion,” Mr Xing said, adding that Christians might come under greater scrutiny in the future due to growing Chinese nationalism. This could also be affected by relations between China and the US, which have worsened in recent years after trade disputes with Mr Trump, arguments over military presence in the Indo-Pacific, and pressure put on Beijing over human rights issues by the administration of US President Joe Biden. File photo: A person dressed as Santa Claus distributes gifts to people outside a shopping complex in Beijing, China, 25 December 2020 (EPA-EFE) Some Chinese officials have tried to deflect attention from Christmas in the country by instead encouraging people to celebrate the birthday of Mao Zedong, the former leader and architect of modern China who was born on 26 December 1893 and died aged 82. On Christmas Day in 2019, just before the world became aware of the coronavirus pandemic, officials in Linyi, a city in Shandong province, placed a cake with “Happy birthday to Mao” at the footstep of a statue of Mao in the Wangzishan Temple in Pingyi county. And in Chinese schools, Christmas has been identified as one of the evils in a patriotic education campaign that places great emphasis on rejecting anything Western, according to Bitter Winter, a magazine focused on religious liberty. For instance, it focuses on teaching students about the “Century of Humiliation” – an account of China’s history between the 19th and 20th centuries where China was “bullied” by Western powers and Japan. Although any Christmas celebrations in China this year may well be curtailed by the Omicron outbreak, one can still see trees, lights and decorations adorning public spaces and shopping malls in major cities including Shanghai. This year, one user on Weibo questioned China’s cultural influence abroad and called for promoting national festivals such as the Spring and Mid-Autumn festivals. They asked: “Wouldn’t it be great if one day the influence of the Spring Festival can reach 1 per cent or even slightly higher than that of Christmas?” One post on Weibo referring to ‘Jesus in the West’ has gained a lot of traction. “His people once formed the Eight-Power Allied Forces and came to China not far ago to snatch our money, kill our compatriots, and burn us,” it reads. “Now many Chinese people have to spend money to celebrate this old man’s birthday.”

good work the church has done

From sizzling hot plates of grilled meats to piquant kimchi stews and refillable banchan side dishes, we can’t get enough of these Korean barbecue restaurants. Korean BBQ (Photo: Alexander Lin) Magal Meat and side dishes at Magal (Photo: Alexander Lin) Nestled amid a row of bustling Korean restaurants at Telok Ayer Street is Magal (no. 123). Magal is unique for its less-often-seen special bbq grill plate with a groove circling it, in which an egg mixture is poured in and steamed. You can savour the egg while the meats are being grilled. The a la carte meat portions may not be as generous as some other places, but the quality is good. If you have a party of two or three, choose the Signature Combo comprising beef boneless short rib, marinated short rib, pork belly and brisket. There’s also the Beef Combo or Pork Combo, which comes in three tiers filled with different cuts of meat. If you order one of the combos at lunch, you’ll even get a free bowl of cold noodles. Other dishes worth trying include the seafood and kimchi pancake, which is super crispy and possibly one of the best in town. Just as satisfying are the tteok-bokki (stir-fried rice cake) and japchae (sweet potato noodles with vegetables). There are two seatings for dinner, but you’ll have ample time to enjoy your meal as dishes arrive swiftly to every table. Dal-In 2 Personal BBQ Grill (Photo: Alexander Lin) This Korean eatery at 21 Amoy Street looks like a small and modest joint that occupies a three storey shophouse. Score a table at the second and third levels if you want some privacy. Otherwise, opt for the ground level, which has a homey setting decked out with charming wallpaper and wooden furnishing. This place is reminiscent of a traditional casual eatery in Seoul. The helpful staff shuttles from one table to the next, but still offer to grill your chosen beef or pork cuts. After the meats are nicely charred, they are kept warm on a small hibachi grill at your table. Enjoy the succulent beef or pork with the accompanying dips. The satisfying banchan dishes and kimchi made using fresh ingredients are excellent. The kimchi pancake is slightly thicker than other versions and fried till the edges are deliciously crisp. If this place is full, you can try booking Dal-In at the nearby 17 Boon Tat Street. Ee Moo Ee Moo (Photo: Alexander Lin) Located at 32 Maxwell Chambers, Ee Moo is a comfortable restaurant where most of the tables are well spaced out and separated with dividers. The extensive menu may be intimidating, but ask for recommendations from the waitstaff. Service is prompt. The assortment of banchan dishes like marinated seaweed, pickled cucumber and glass noodles are superbly fresh and authentic. Not so keen on meats? Then dive into some of the more interesting seafood items such as spicy marinated crab, stir-fried small octopus with pork belly, and fermented skate. Other unique dishes include noodles in cold soymilk broth as well as oyster kimchi. Solo diners aren’t forgotten here – the menu includes several sets (comprising meat, stew and rice) for one person. Hyang Yeon Hyang Yeon (Photo: Alexander Lin) The very popular Hyang Yeon has three outlets to choose from: 128 Telok Ayer Street, Chinatown Point, and 2 Peck Seah Street. The latter is furnished with dividers/booth seats. Service staff is friendly and will help you to efficiently fire up the meats even before you ask. The menu is massive – so ask for recommendations. Alternatively, if you’re rushing for time, just order the grilled bulgogi or spicy pork set. Try the punchy flavours of the signature Korean herb bossam filled with pork belly braised in special sauce and Korean herbs, and served with kimchi. Or, savour one of the belly-warming Korean style hotpots or fiery kimchi stews on rainy days. Wang Dae Bak This place is so popular it has two outlets at Amoy Street (no 93 and 98) and one at 22 Cross Street. This 10-year-old establishment is one of the few Korean bbq places in Singapore that uses charcoal to cook, creating a smoky treatment for your meats. The menu offers an extensive selection of pork and beef. For smaller tables, there’s an All-in-One set menu for two persons – which includes items like prime oyster blade beef, pork belly, pear onion marinated pork collar and marinated chicken. Interesting pancakes include cheese kimchi pancake and seafood okonomi pancake. You can even order the ‘half half’ pancake comprising half portion of kimchi and half of seafood. Wang Dae Bak Pocha BBQ a few doors down features traditional iron grill bbq. The décor is reminiscent of a Korean Street scene back in 70s and 80s. Highlights here include marinated pork belly, prime ribs, pork knuckles and bibimbap.

A group of Singaporeans who had bought properties in Batam, hoping they would be able to extend the leases when they were up, are now embroiled in a dispute with Indonesian developers. On Dec 13, the management of Indah Puri Golf Resort sent in heavy machinery to begin demolition work on Block 1 of the 10-block complex. Online news site Tribun Batam reported on Dec 16 that residents had blocked the heavy equipment sent to start the demolition. In Indonesia, foreigners are allowed to buy apartments, but not landed homes. They get 30-year leasehold titles for these units, which may be extended by another 20 years upon application. Buyers can also later apply for an additional 30-year extension on top of the 50-year lease. In September 2018, the 30-year lease on Indah Puri ended. Before that, residents such as Singaporean Cynthia Wee-Hoefer and other expatriates had begun engaging developer PT Guthrie Jaya Indah Island Resort to determine what was needed for the extension of the lease. But both sides are at an impasse. On Thursday (Dec 23), Madam Wee-Hoefer sent The Straits Times images of furnishings in her apartment — which faces the golf course and the sea — being taken away by unknown men. A day earlier, Mr Mangara Manurung, a lawyer for the developer, was quoted by CNA, as saying: "We have been very lenient towards them. Out of compassion, we let them stay for three years without paying. "We have tried to be persuasive. We have issued warnings and legal notices. We have been very generous towards people who no longer have the right to be there." On Tuesday, a retiree, who asked not to be named, told ST: "Right now, all I feel is pain from watching the photographs and videos of the demolition. It has been frustrating because nobody wrote to me about the demolition." Singaporean apartment owner Masood Faizullah Khan said the residents' efforts at negotiation have been hampered by delays. Madam Wee-Hoefer, 70, said Singaporeans own at least 14 units at Indah Puri, and travel restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic have made it difficult for home owners to go to Batam to resolve the situation. The Batam Development Authority, also known as BP Batam, confirmed there had been several meetings between the apartment owners and the developer. BP Batam's spokesman, Madam Ariastuty Sirait, told ST: "The mediation process facilitated by BP Batam occurred over seven times since 2018. We hope the situation between PT Guthrie Jaya Indah Island Resort Batam and apartment owners can be completed amicably." Dr Masood, 70, told ST that in 1993, he had spent money on two apartments, garden space and renovation work. The businessman said: "I bought the apartments because we were given assurances the lease could be extended. Nobody would have invested in them without a long-term guarantee." He showed ST a copy of the lease agreement with PT Guthrie Jaya Indah Island Resort. It stated that the resort can, under applicable laws and regulations, renew the lease for a further period upon the expiry of the current lease period if home owners pay a premium. But home owners are baulking at what the property management is now asking for. Speaking on behalf of her brother, Singaporean Pat Kwok said the offer by the Indah Puri management in October 2019 for a lease extension was above $130,000 for her brother's unit. Recent photos on Facebook showed some residents protesting the demolition on the resort grounds, and posing for photos in front of apartments with roofs being removed. ST understands that there are still some residents living in Indah Puri amid the ongoing demolition. Mr Robby Batubara, a lawyer representing 60 apartment owners, including Singaporeans, said the remaining residents are reluctant to leave their apartments for fear of being locked out by the resort's security. He added that water and electricity have been cut off. Mr Robby, who met with the developer and BP Batam on Wednesday, said: "As far as I know, there has been no court order for the demolition. "We are worried because it could cause problems in the future — people who want to invest in mega companies or properties in Batam may think twice about doing so." He is filing a stop-work order on the demolition work.

Chinese police have detained three men who took advantage of a 23-year-old mentally disabled woman for a controversial live-streaming show, including teasing her, touching her genitals and forcing her to drink beer and hug and different men. The three live-streamers surnamed Hu, Xing and Jin, aged 26, 27 and 32 have been detained by police in Changsha, in China’s central Hunan province, police said in a statement on Wednesday. More from AsiaOneRead the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite.The victim’s plight was brought to the authorities’ attention following her mother’s earlier appeal for financial help on Weibo to treat her daughter, who has diabetes and ended up in intensive care after being forced to drink five bottles of liquid yogurt in one video. The mother surnamed Kuang, said the medical bills from the four-day stay in the ICU alone had already reached 56,000 yuan (US$8,791), far more than what her family could afford. She said her daughter has been staying in Changsha for two years, news portal Thepaper.cn reported. Kuang said that her family was unable to take care of her daughter full-time at home because her husband is in his 70s. And she works in another city as a cleaner and the couple have another child who is mentally ill that they care for at home. The daughter, with the surname Yang, was targeted by the live-streamers because of her disability, the report said. The woman, called Xiaohui online by internet users, was told to hug and different men, some of whom were topless and made to touch her genitals in the live-streaming show. The men around her laughed at her throughout. Many who saw the streams were enraged, but others encouraged the men by sending messages on the screen like “I will give you gifts if you her.” Sometimes the three men shaved Yang’s hair and took away her hat, prompting her to scream. The scenes often attracted multiple responses online, the report said. They would also arrange for Yang to play a “Sea Princess” in a “romantic love” drama created by themselves. Jiefang West Road in Changsha, Hunan, is famous for its bar street. About two years ago, a 23-year-old girl with mental disabilities, Xiaohui, started wandering here. She was interviewed for various short video platforms. It is alleged different men kissed her and even touched her genitals. PHOTO: Handout On Dec 9, they let Yang drink five bottles of yogurt in a row despite the fact that they were aware of her diabetic condition. Yang was sent to hospital immediately after being forced to consume the yogurt, the report said. Police said Yang has transferred to a general ward and is in a stable condition. While the local police are investigating the case, live-streaming platform Huya announced that the accounts of the men involved had been closed permanently. “Xiaohui’s plight makes the public feel grieved. Those live-streamers shouldn’t ignore morality and shouldn’t forget the minimum requirement for a human being when focusing on pursuing the traffic,” the state media China National Radio (CNR) commented on Weibo earlier this week. “But while condemning the live-streamers, we need to reflect; has the platform exercised its monitoring duties? The long-term existence of these live-streams is not only ascribed to the hosts’ poor legal awareness, but also due to the platforms’ tolerance and connivance,” CNR said.

An Australian citizen has been barred from leaving Israel, trapping him in the country for almost 8000 years after his Israeli wife filed a divorce case against him. Noam Huppert, 44, has been ordered by a court to either pay more than $3m in future child support payments or he is barred from leaving the country until 31 December 9999, reported news.com.au. The Australian moved to Israel in 2012 to stay closer to her two young children after her estranged wife returned to the country and filed a case in an Israeli court under the divorce law that has been dubbed “draconian and excessive” by human rights activists. “Since 2013, I am locked in Israel,” he said, adding that he is one of the Australian citizens who have been “persecuted by the Israeli ‘justice’ system only because they were married to Israeli women”. According to the website, the court has issued a so-called “stay-of-exit” order against him, barring him from leaving the country even for holiday or work, until he pays “future debt” for the maintenance of his two children, until they turn 18. He now wants to share his story with the world in order “to help other Australians who may suffer this literally life-threatening experience”. An independent British journalist who has been working on the issue to raise awareness said there could be hundreds of Australian citizens who would be also facing the same problem. “I could not get numbers from any foreign embassy,” Marianne Azizi said. The author has written a book Sour Milk & Stolen Honey about a woman’s fight to save her husband held hostage by Israel’s family laws and also appears in a documentary directed by Director Sorin Luca called the No Exit Order. She began collecting testimonies after her own husband was trapped in Israel after he went there to visit his children. Blogger Adam Herscu, who writes on gender issues, called the travel ban of foreigners and family laws “draconian” in his article in Times of Israel in 2013. “If you’re planning on moving to Israel and starting a family there, you need to understand that the family laws are draconian and excessively discriminatory against men – that there are good chances that you will be treated as a criminal and relegated to the role of visitor (slash) ATM,” he wrote.
