SINGAPORE: A woman who was found dead at the foot of a housing block had been stressed over a workplace injury claim against her that she said was fraudulent, a coroner's court heard on Thursday (Oct 8). She had also been discharged from the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) against medical advice a day before, following a suicide attempt. A coroner's inquiry into the death of the owner of a food business opened on Thursday. A gag order was imposed protecting the identities of her husband and her children and preventing the publication of her address. CNA is not naming her for this reason. WHAT HAPPENED The 44-year-old woman had gone to a block in the Bukit Timah area on the morning of Jul 19, 2025. The investigation officer on the case, Inspector Ong Hui Xian, told the court that a resident in the block had taken the lift up with the woman and asked her if she stayed there. The deceased replied that she was visiting and wished the woman a good day when the latter alighted. The deceased was later found dead. She was identified when the police found a car key belonging to her husband. According to her husband, the woman had said she was going out to exercise that morning. A suicide note was later found in the woman's laptop, expressing how apologetic she was to her loved ones. The court heard that the woman went to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital's psychiatric department in late June 2025. She had symptoms of depression, including a loss of appetite and sleep, as well as intrusive thoughts with a depressed mood for a few months prior. She spoke about feeling guilt and being torn between work and her children. She was prescribed with mirtazapine, a prescription medicine for major depressive disorder, and zolpidem, which is for insomnia. SUICIDE ATTEMPT In the wee hours of Jul 18, 2025, the woman was found drunk and unconscious at Changi Beach. Paramedics and the police attended to her and found her intoxicated, incoherent and drenched with water. She said she wanted to die and was scammed of money but did not say more. A police officer called the IMH crisis hotline and was advised to apprehend her under the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Act as she was intoxicated. She was taken to Changi General Hospital, where doctors assessed that she had made a "serious suicide attempt" and diagnosed her with depression. She was then transferred to IMH, with major depressive disorder as the clinical diagnosis. The woman was discharged against medical advice that same day, as she and her husband were "keen on the discharge", said INSP Ong. They were informed of the risk of worsening symptoms and suicide if she was discharged, and they agreed to her discharge under the care of her husband. The woman's husband said she appeared quiet but normal after being discharged. STRESS OVER INJURY CLAIM The man said his wife appeared to be stressed about a worker who had been sending medical bills to her. Investigations revealed that the woman had experienced significant stress related to a workplace injury compensation claim mounted against her by a foreign worker. The worker had purportedly sustained injuries while working at the woman's company and had been sending her medical bills. The worker had also sent a letter saying she would be making a claim for total permanent incapacity against the woman. The woman believed she was being exploited for additional compensation. Her husband told her not to worry, and that the insurer had already been paying for some of the worker's hospital bills. His wife brought up worries that she had not bought the right insurance plan and was worried the insurer would not cover the total permanent incapacity claim. An officer with the Ministry of Manpower had received an email from the woman three days before her death, clarifying if she had to pay new medical bills. The officer told her that the information should be given to the insurer directly as the insurer was assessing the case. The woman was said to be "calm and composed", according to the MOM officer. At this point, the woman's husband began breaking down in court. He apologised and said he had just seen some pictures in the court documents that had triggered him. INSP Ong said the police and MOM had investigated the issues relating to the allegedly fraudulent workplace injury claim, but they did not affect the findings in the death of the woman. The findings will be given at a later date. When asked by the media if the investigating authorities had reached any conclusion regarding the allegedly fraudulent workplace injury claim, State Counsel Dhiraj G Chainani declined comment.

Only 3 or 4 years oldBoy, and on his face suddenly grew what is commonly called "CauliflowerAfter tracing the source of infection, it was discovered that it was shared with the householdTowelsRelated to habits. Urologist Dr. Gu Fangyu shared this clinical case: the boy's grandfather once became infected with human papillomavirus (HPV), and since the family usually shared the same towel, the virus was passed on to her grandson. When Grandma learned the reason, she was very angry. Gu Fangyu stated that even patients aged 3 or 4 can still receive treatment for genital warts, but what is more concerning is the possibility of future developmentRelapseTherefore, at this stage, in addition to treatment, ongoing follow-up is also necessary. After the boy turns 9 years old, it is recommended to get the HPV vaccineVaccines； According to Taiwan's HPV vaccine package insert, the eligible age for vaccination is 9 to 45 years old, and vaccination can be done either by qualification or by paying out of pocket. The condyloma acuminatum, commonly known as 'cauliflower,' is caused by infection with the human papillomavirus. Gu Fangyu explained in an educational article on the clinic's official website that these diseases mainly occur through sexual contactInfectious, characterized by a long incubation period and a tendency for recurrence. Although lesions usually appear around the genitals or anus, other skin or mucous membranes can also develop condyloma acuminatum once they are infected. There is no age limit for onset, and it is more common among sexually active individuals. Abnormalities may not be immediately noticed after infection. When genital warts first form, they may be very small and difficult to recognize with the naked eye. In the early stages, they are usually painless or non-itchy, with an incubation period of about 1 to 8 months, so they may persist for a period without obvious symptoms. Gu Fangyu reminds us that genital warts cannot heal on their own, nor should they be treated by squeezing them by hand. If no medication or surgical treatment is received, the lesion may gradually enlarge and even spread to other areas. Even if the cauliflower is temporarily invisible to the naked eye, it does not mean it is completely infectious; patients may still transmit the virus to others without noticing. As for the stage where visible lesions have appeared, it is the most contagious, and completing treatment does not guarantee it won't recur. Gu Fangyu stated that clinically, patients often experience recurrence after treatment, so in addition to treatment, follow-up and prevention are equally important. According to data from the Health Promotion Administration, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) belongs to DNA viruses. Currently, more than 200 types are known, mainly transmitted through sexual contact. Based on risk of illness, they can be classified into low-risk and high-risk types. Low-risk types include HPV types 6 and 11, which may cause condyloma acuminatum after infection; The high-risk variants include types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. If high-risk HPV types persist or are repeatedly infected, they may further develop into cervical, anal, penile, vaginal, and oropharyngeal cancers. HPV infection is actually quite common and does not discriminate by gender. According to data from the Health Promotion Administration, everyone has about a 50% to 90% chance of contracting HPV in their lifetime. Once sexual activity begins, the risk increases significantly. Unsafe sexual activity, non-monosexual partners, and chronic low immunity also increase the risk of infection. For prevention, Gu Fangyu recommends getting the HPV vaccine. Currently, the 9-valent HPV vaccine covers a wide range of virus types, so regardless of sexual experience, early vaccination evaluation is advised. Currently, Taiwan's Food and Drug Administration has approved three HPV vaccines for market release. According to health education data from the Health Promotion Administration, regardless of which vaccine is administered, it can prevent HPV-related cancers, with protection lasting at least 10 years.

While at a night club celebrating his wife's pregnancy, a 27-year-old man felt that another man was staring at him and his friends several times. Feeling affronted, he confronted the other man, a Malaysian, and the situation quickly turned violent. Along with three of his friends, Jonathan Soo Wen Jie punched and kicked the Malaysian repeatedly. At one point, Soo also struck his head with a metal bar. All four assailants were drunk at the time, according to court documents. As a result of the assault that lasted almost two-and-a-half minutes, the victim suffered lasting blurriness and pain in his left eye for several months after the incident. Soo pleaded guilty to one charge of causing grievous hurt, and was sentenced on Oct. 5 to a year-and-a-half in jail and four strokes of the cane. His three friends involved have also been convicted. Tan Swee Heng, 45, was also sentenced on Oct. 5 to a year and five months in jail and three strokes of the cane, while Ong Jun Ren, 37, was previously sentenced in April 2026 to a year in jail and two strokes of the cane. The last accused, Koh Ming Quan, 20, was sentenced in August to probation as he is a young offender. How it started The incident happened at the Mask 51 night club in Geylang at around 2:02am on Apr. 28, 2025. It was caught on video by the club’s CCTV cameras. In addition to celebrating the pregnancy of Soo's wife, they were also there to celebrate Tan's wife's birthday. The victim was there to meet a friend for drinks, and sat at the back of the club. Soo noticed that he appeared to be staring at him and his friends as they went to get drinks. It aggravated Soo, and he walked aggressively towards the victim along with Ong. After arguing with him, Soo threw a punch at him. The commotion alerted Koh and Tan to go over, and Koh attempted to calm Soo down. Ong, however, began pointing aggressively at the victim and arguing with him. When the victim's friend tried to defuse the situation, Soo told him not to intervene or else he would be beaten up too. The assault After Soo and the victim exchanged more words, Soo threw a flurry of punches at the victim's face. The victim turned away and did not retaliate. Soo, Koh, and Tan then pulled him over to the centre of the club and hurled him against a table, causing him to hit his head and fall to the ground. While he was still on the ground, Soo and his three friends began punching and kicking him multiple times. Tan grabbed the victim by his hair and attempted to pick up a bottle to hit him, but was stopped from doing so by Tan’s wife. As the victim got to his feet, Ong went forward to elbow him in the back, and Koh shoved him against a table. Koh also picked up a glass bottle and smashed it on the victim's back. As the victim staggered towards the exit of the club, Soo picked up a metal bar stool and struck the victim's head with it, then threw it hard at his head. Soo, Tan, and Ong continued to punch the victim after that. The victim's injuries Due to their attacks, the victim had to be sent to the hospital to be treated for multiple injuries, including severe facial fractures and eyelid lacerations. According to the prosecutor, he requested to be discharged against medical advice for admission. He felt that he could not afford to pay for medical treatment in Singapore and wanted to return to Malaysia to receive medical treatment. However, he still did not undergo surgery in Malaysia and his injuries were managed medically. He had to stay at home for a month without working to recuperate. Months after the incident, he continued to experience blurriness and pain in his left eye, which made it difficult to focus with it. 'Cowardly act' The prosecutor called for the court to jail Soo between a year and seven months to a year and nine months, along with four strokes of the cane. He described the case as "a vicious, gratuitous, and cowardly act of hooliganism", arguing that the joint assault of a "hapless male victim" was "an irrational and disproportional response to a perceived slight" against Soo. On the difference between the four men's sentences, the prosecutor felt it was justified. He argued that Ong and Tan were less culpable than Soo, who was the main instigator of the assault and displayed much more violence towards the victim than the other two.

Walking is an easy, accessible way to meet your exercise goals. To reap longevity benefits from a daily walk, you can walk either farther or faster, a new study suggests. The study relied on data from 64,743 adults in the United Kingdom whose average age was 62. All wore wrist activity trackers for a week to monitor their daily step counts and pace. During a follow-up period of about eight years, there were 1,697 deaths in the study group, 502 of those from cardiovascular disease. To determine each person’s walking pace, researchers averaged steps per minute across the 30 highest-activity minutes of their day, which were not necessarily consecutive. Daily step counts were categorized as less than 5,000; 5,000 to 7,500; 7,500 to 10,000; and above 10,000 steps per day. They compared groups with different combinations of those parameters to a reference group of people who took fewer than 5,000 daily steps at a pace of 45 steps per minute. People who took fewer than 5,000 steps per day but at a faster pace had a substantially lower risk for dying from cardiovascular or other causes. In fact, their risk was similar to that of people who walked between 5,000 and 7,500 steps per day but at a slower pace. Taking 7,500 to 10,000 steps per day was linked to the lowest death rates among all the step groups. Maintaining a brisk pace — at least 90 to 100 steps per minute — for 30 minutes a day is a promising target for longevity, the authors say. For people with barriers such as limited time or ability, flexible combinations of step counts and speed can also be good options. The study was published online Sept. 8, 2026, by the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Source: https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health...ger-study-finds

SINGAPORE – A man who promised to marry a Singaporean woman and later made her perform sex work in Dubai was sentenced to eight years’ jail, six strokes of the cane and a fine of $9,000 on Oct 7. Achraf Arjaouy, 32, an Italian citizen, was convicted of a human trafficking charge in April after a trial. He will have to spend an additional six weeks behind bars should he fail to pay the fine. The woman, identified as V1 in court documents, flew back to Singapore after she contracted a sexually transmitted disease. In earlier proceedings, the court heard that Achraf arrived in Singapore in March 2021 and matched with V1 on a dating app the following month. The prosecution had said that during a whirlwind courtship, Achraf told the victim he wanted to marry her in Qatar. She was overjoyed and agreed to travel with him to Dubai en route to Qatar. However, Achraf never intended to take V1 to Qatar and did not want to marry her. Court documents stated that Achraf had lied to V1, claiming he came from a wealthy Qatari family and was a pilot for Qatar Airways. The prosecution said Achraf had told V1 that their relationship would end if she refused to travel with him to Dubai. The victim agreed to leave her life in Singapore behind, and the pair travelled to the United Arab Emirates on April 21, 2021. While there, Achraf claimed V1 needed to show US$10,000 (S$12,800) as proof of funds to enter Qatar. This was not true. Because she did not have the money, Achraf told her to prostitute herself to raise the money. She gave in after he pestered her. The prosecutors said he took intimate photographs of her, created profiles for her on escort websites in Dubai, solicited customers for her and booked a hotel for her to provide sexual services. Achraf collected her daily earnings. Court documents stated that V1 stopped engaging in prostitution in September 2021 after contracting a sexually transmitted disease. She flew back to Singapore two months later. Separately, Achraf has 16 other pending charges, including multiple counts of cheating, and these will be dealt with later.

[SINGAPORE] Restaurant group Crystal Jade has closed four outlets in Singapore and issued termination notices to about 120 workers as part of a restructuring ahead of a proposed sale of the business. The four outlets – three Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao restaurants at Bugis Junction, Toa Payoh and i12 Katong, as well as Crystal Jade GO at Oasis Terraces in Punggol – ceased operations on Oct 6. Advisory firm Kroll, whose representatives were appointed receivers over the holding companies of Crystal Jade’s Singapore and Hong Kong operations on Sep 29, said on Oct 7 that the restructuring measures identified for the Singapore business have been implemented. The move leaves Crystal Jade with nine operating outlets in Singapore and a workforce of about 210. Kroll said the workers whose services were terminated worked in the affected restaurants and certain corporate functions. The affected employees will receive their salaries up to their final day of employment, and restaurant staff will continue to serve their applicable notice periods and will be compensated according to their employment contracts. Kroll and Crystal Jade have been engaging the Food, Drinks and Allied Workers Union (FDAWU), an affiliate of the National Trades Union Congress, and other associations since Sep 30 to support affected employees. FDAWU general secretary Sankaradass S. Chami said: “FDAWU is heartened that we were approached to support affected union members and workers following the appointment of the receivers. “We know this will be a difficult and uncertain time for affected members, workers and their families. Our focus is to ensure that members and workers are treated fairly, kept informed and received the support they need and do not have to navigate this period of uncertainty alone.” The union is also working with NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) and employer partners to help affected workers access new employment opportunities, he added. As part of these efforts, FDAWU and NTUC’s e2i curated over 400 job opportunities across the food manufacturing, food services, hospitality, and wholesale and retail sectors, and engaged employer partners to conduct on-site interviews for affected workers during the communications exercise. Employer partners included Paris Baguette, Neo Group Bakery and Din Tai Fung. Representatives from FDAWU were present to assist affected union members, address their queries and provide guidance on available support schemes. In addition, care packs containing daily essentials and groceries were prepared for affected union members. Separately, the group’s central kitchen in Singapore, Crystal Jade Food Manufacturing, which operates outside the scope of the receivership, ceased operations on Oct 5. This decision was taken by the company’s management as part of the group’s broader restructuring efforts. The Kroll representatives do not expect further outlet closures in Singapore

On Sept 29, the Public Transport Council (PTC) announced that adult commuters would pay up to 13 cents more for bus and train rides from Dec 26, in what will be the highest fare hike so far. Seniors, students, and those who use the Persons with Disabilities card will pay 5 cents more for each journey. Armed with the knowledge of this early Christmas gift, I set out to investigate just how much more I would have to spend on my commute by tracking my weekly public transportation expenditure on the SimplyGo app. The app shows public transport fares calculated based on the total distance traveled from the start to the end of the journey, regardless of the mode of transport used. An additional $108.16 — or at least 24 cups of kopi — per year From Monday, Sept 28 to Sunday, Oct 4, I spent a total of $27.43 on public transport, with the breakdown as shown below: Apart from a two-way day trip to Johor Bahru by public transport — which surprisingly cost less than a trip to and from my office in Braddell — I did not deviate from my typical travel patterns. Assuming I maintain an average of 16 public transport journeys a week in 2027, I’d need to pay up to $108.16 more in fares for 832 trips next year. That is at least 24 cups of my usual $4.50 large kopi C kosong, or 21 packets of my favourite $5 chicken rice. Stomp spoke to two commuters on the upcoming fare hike to understand if it would similarly affect their expenses. Incidentally, both commuters are East side residents who need to take the bus from their homes to Pasir Ris MRT Station before taking the train to Kent Ridge MRT Station to work. From $4.87 to $5.13 daily after fare increase One of them, a communications professional in her 30s, who only wanted to be known as Zi Xian, said that her commute to and from work typically costs around $4.87 currently. Due to the distance between her home and office, she sometimes begins her public transport journey before 7.45am, which allows her to benefit from the pre-peak rail savings of up to 50 cents. An increase of 13 cents per journey would bring her total to $5.13 daily. Subtracting the number of weekdays she would not be going to work — including annual leave days and the 11 gazetted public holidays in 2027 — Zi Xian will have to spend about $58.76 more on her weekday commutes after the fare increase takes effect. And that is only accounting for her travels between her home and office. When asked why she has not tried a monthly travel pass, Zi Xian said that what she spends on public transport monthly does not cost more than the monthly pass. The Adult Monthly Travel Pass, or monthly concession pass, allows unlimited travel on Singapore’s train and basic bus services within the pass validity period. It currently costs $122 and will not increase, despite the fare hike. Zi Xian added that she stays in during the weekends, and if necessary, uses ride-hailing apps to get around. “The concession won’t save much,” she concluded. In any case, the communications professional said that she is “not too worried at this stage” as her company grants her a travel allowance on top of her base pay, plus the fares go towards earning rewards on her credit card. “As long as I can rely on the expense to also take up credit card points, I feel like there’s some returns from (the increase in public transport fares),” she told Stomp. The perks of concession Another East-side resident Stomp spoke to, 31-year-old administrative assistant Amy Lee, relies heavily on public transport for her daily routine. She rarely books private hire vehicles, and often goes out to town on weekends via public transport as well. Unlike Zi Xian, Lee buys a monthly concession pass. Given how often and far she travels by public transport each month, paying the flat $122 saves her money overall. Even so, she understands the frustrations of people who do not rely on a travel concession. “The price increase is definitely irritating, every year it increases,” lamented Lee. “The increase is because of the Middle East (crisis) right? But say the conflict settles down, will fares go back down?” she questioned. Public transport fees once decreased, a decade ago In October 2016, the PTC announced a total of 4.2 per cent reduction in fares — reductions of 1 to 27 cents for card fares — owing to lower energy prices in 2015. Back then, it had also caveated that: “It is also unlikely for energy prices, which had fallen substantially in 2015, to remain at its current level indefinitely.” Subsequently, after three consecutive years of fare reductions totalling 8.3 percent, card fares for adults increased by 6 cents. Apart from 2020, when the PTC decided not to grant any fare adjustments, transport fares have seen an upward trend. Evidently, every cent adds up. At $108.16 more a year, my 2027 commute could cost me the equivalent of over 20 cups of my favourite kopi. Perhaps it’s time to start walking a little more, leaving the house even earlier — or make a new year’s resolution to drink less coffee.

SINGAPORE: COVID-19 vaccination will become part of Singapore’s routine national immunisation schedules from Oct 12. It will be recommended for people aged 60 and above, residents of aged care facilities, as well as medically vulnerable people aged six months and above, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA) said on Wednesday (Oct 7). This means that for children, COVID-19 vaccination will be recommended under the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS) for those with certain medical conditions that put them at greater risk. For adults, COVID-19 vaccination will be incorporated into the National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS). COVID-19 vaccination has been offered under the National Vaccination Programme since 2020 to facilitate uptake during the pandemic. “As COVID-19 will continue to circulate and pose a risk of severe disease, particularly among older and medically vulnerable individuals, COVID-19 vaccination will be added to the NCIS and NAIS to ensure the vaccine remains accessible and affordable for the public,” MOH and CDA said. Healthcare workers and people who live or work with medically vulnerable individuals are also encouraged to get vaccinated to help protect those around them. Others aged six months and above who are not in the recommended groups may still choose to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. They may consult their doctor about the benefits of vaccination for their circumstances, the authorities said. The updated National Childhood Immunisation Schedule. (Image: MOH, CDA) For those receiving a COVID-19 vaccination for the first time, children aged six months to four years should receive two doses eight weeks apart, while those aged five and above should receive one dose. People aged six months and above who have previously been vaccinated should receive an additional dose about one year after their last dose, with a minimum interval of five months. COVID-19 vaccination will continue to be fully subsidised for Singapore citizens, permanent residents, long-term pass holders, and certain short-term pass holders at participating CHAS GP clinics, polyclinics and mobile vaccination teams (MVT) sites, until further review. As such, COVID-19 vaccinations will not be claimable under MediSave 500/700, or the MediSave Chronic and Preventive Care scheme from Jan 1, 2027, until further review. ROLLOUT OF UPDATED COVID-19 VACCINES Updated COVID-19 vaccines targeting the XFG strain will also be rolled out from Oct 12 at more than 600 GP clinics, all polyclinics and MVT sites across Singapore. The XFG Moderna/Spikevax and XFG Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty vaccines provide better protection against current and emerging strains of COVID-19, MOH and CDA said. Their safety profiles are comparable to those of previous versions, they added. From Oct 12, the updated Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty vaccine will be administered at all vaccination locations offering the updated vaccines for individuals aged 12 years and above, while the Moderna/Spikevax vaccine will be administered for individuals aged six months and older. From Nov 2, the updated Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty vaccine will be administered for those aged six months to 11 years old. “COVID-19 waves will continue to occur from time to time and can cause severe disease among those who are older or medically vulnerable,” MOH and CDA said. “We strongly encourage individuals in the recommended groups to stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination, to better protect themselves and those around them.” Source: CNA/dc(rj)

@HarrisY1 remind me of you

Hong Kong actress Snowy Bai publicly confirmed that she is in a relationship with her 22-year-old foreign boyfriend in an October 2026 Instagram post that showed them visiting various places together. Also known by her real name Bai Yunfeng, the 38-year-old former TVB personality said in the post that she is born in 1988 and he is born in 2004. Bai pointed out, however, that their 16-year age gap did not hinder their relationship. "He's mature, and I'm childish," she wrote. She also shared that her boyfriend lives in Europe while she lives in Asia, and though he speaks German and she speaks Mandarin, their English is improving, Being in a cross-cultural relationship was tough, said Bai, adding that the couple had separated for a long time in between. She noted that despite the challenges they faced, they shared similar interests. Prior to this relationship, she was previously married to Hong Kong architect Kelvin Kong, Dimsum Daily reported. According to Sing Tao Headline, the five-year marriage eventually ended in divorce in 2021 due to factors such as Kong's family reportedly disapproving of her sharing "sexy photos" online. Kong reportedly once wrote that sexiness is her favourite thing, and it was something inherent in her. "Being yourself is the least shameful thing in the world."

SINGAPORE: Singapore recorded 441 suicides in 2024, with deaths among adults aged 30 to 39 rising 50 per cent from the previous year even as numbers declined across all other age groups. The Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) said on Tuesday (Jul 28) that the figures, based on finalised data from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), also showed suicide was the second leading cause of death among adults aged 30 to 39. There were 99 suicides in this age group in 2024, up 50 per cent from 66 the year before. Citing observations made through its 24-hour crisis helplines, SOS said adults aged 30 to 39 often face complex pressures and psychosocial stressors related to family, employment, and social isolation. It added that 256 suicides were reported in Singapore in 2025 based on provisional data. The organisation noted that final figures can differ substantially, with the number of suicides in 2024 revised upward from a provisional figure of 314 deaths to 441 after the data was finalised. Explaining the discrepancy between provisional and final suicide figures, Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam said in a written parliamentary reply last September that the provisional number published in the annual report on registration of births and deaths reflects only cases confirmed as suicides at the time the report is released. Some cases of unnatural deaths may still be awaiting the outcome of a coroner's inquiry when the report is published. Once the coroner's inquiry is completed, some of these cases may be reclassified as suicides and will be reflected in the following year's publication. Of the 441 reported suicides, 290 or 65.8 per cent were men, while the remaining 151 or 34.2 per cent were women. According to SOS, the disparity was particularly evident among adults aged 60 and above, with men in that age range dying by suicide at around three times the rate of women. "Existing research suggests that males are more socially isolated, more reserved in seeking help when experiencing emotional distress, and are more likely to use highly lethal means in suicide attempts," SOS said. "For older persons aged 60 and above, key issues remain medical issues and social isolation, as they experience a decline in physical health, mobility and social connections." Women accounted for one-third of suicides in 2024, but SOS noted that they made up 62.5 per cent of suicide-related calls and texts received by the organisation. SOS said this pointed to higher rates of help-seeking among women in relation to pressures associated with differing societal roles and norms, such as caregiving responsibilities and gender-based violence. Suicide also remained the leading cause of death among youths aged 10 to 29, with SOS noting struggles among this age group with stressors related to family, education and interpersonal relationships. The suicide death rate in 2024 went up by 0.04 to 8.23 per 100,000 residents, according to the suicide prevention centre. Dr Jared Ng, medical director, psychiatrist and senior consultant at Connections MindHealth, said: "These should not just be numbers. Behind each one is a parent who still lies awake wondering what they missed, a friend who wishes they had called back. "That grief can last a lifetime." SOS said it de-escalates and prevents one person at imminent risk of suicide every 13 hours through timely crisis intervention. Over the past year, SOS responded to more than 55,000 calls and chats via its 24-hour hotline and CareText services. Early intervention was another area it focused on, with its Be A Samaritan programme aiming to equip more individuals to recognise distress early, start conversations, and guide those in need towards appropriate support. More than 2,000 individuals across workplaces, schools, and communities were trained in the past financial year. SOS also provided in-person counselling services and support groups to more than 1,200 individuals experiencing emotional crisis. "Suicide prevention cannot rest solely with crisis services or mental health professionals," said SOS CEO Terry Siow. "It requires all of us as family members, friends, colleagues, and neighbours, to recognise when someone may be struggling and have the confidence to start a conversation and direct them to the appropriate support resources."
