  2. Popular Malaysian actress Amelia Henderson recently received unjustified scrutiny from the public for a TikTok video with another local celebrity, Aedy Ashraf. In the video, Amelia, who is a Muslim convert, was accused by netizens of wearing a necklace with a cross on it which caused an uproar online. It’s not a cross necklace but a ballerina pendant However, the claim is far-fetched, as revealed by X (formerly Twitter) user @farahxnnies, who took the platform to defend Amelia and set the record straight. In the post, @farahxnnies asserted that she couldn’t fathom why Malaysians are bashing Amelia for the necklace she was wearing in the video as a closer look at it showed that it’s not a cross or even shaped like a T. She asserted, “I swear I can’t understand why people are bashing Amelia’s necklace on TikTok. Take a closer look, it’s not “T” but a ballerina necklace. “The Ballerina necklace she wore is so beautiful girls~” @farahxnnies even went a step further by sharing links to purchase ballerina pendants similar to the one that Amelia was wearing. “Why are people tripping over a necklace?” A day later, Amelia herself addressed the controversy by quoting the X post by @farahxnnies and venting her frustrations at netizens creating a ruckus out of a non-issue. The actress said that she doesn’t get why people were triggered by the necklace, and while she didn’t want to address the issue at first, she was, in turn, left enraged by people’s reactions. Amelia said, “So many terrible things happening in the world and there are people tripping over a NECKLACE? Are you not embarrassed? Leave me alone.”
  3. A portable device that allows kidney failure patients to undergo hemodialysis, a treatment that filters waste from their blood, anytime, anywhere. Together with South-east Asia’s first bank that stores gut bacteria, fungi and viruses for research and medical purposes, these are just among the many groundbreaking and life-saving innovations being developed behind the closed laboratory doors at the Singapore Science Park. The 55-hectare Singapore Science Park, which marked its 40th anniversary last year, is home to not just medtech company Nextkidney SG and precision gut microbiome company AMILI, but also a wider vibrant community of more than 350 multinational corporations such as Johnson & Johnson, Merck and Shopee, alongside Fortune 500 companies, home-grown start-ups and laboratories. Since it was founded in the 1980s, Singapore Science Park has built a reputation of being a destination for producing leading-edge inventions and breakthroughs by teams from all over the world. Armed with a deep understanding of the evolving needs of scientists, researchers and innovators, the park’s developer, CapitaLand, unveiled its newest precinct – Geneo – last year. The name is derived from “Gen Neo”, embodying the hub’s commitment to fostering the next generation of innovators through the reinvention of real estate experiences. Designed by Serie Architects in collaboration with Multiply Architects, Geneo represents a reimagining of the concept of science and business parks. Principal architect Chris Lee’s research on knowledge hubs led him to a key conclusion: “The most thriving research environments share a distinct urban character.” He explains: “What sets Geneo apart is its ‘cityness’. Consider it a mini city where work, life and play seamlessly intertwine. Lush greenery is woven into the fabric of the development, fostering a healthy balance within this innovative ecosystem. Get an exclusive analysis of real estate and property news in Singapore and beyond. “When a research cluster has a ‘cityness’ character, it has that ability to evolve and propel itself forward and stay relevant for decades to come.” A new concept for a business park model Geneo offers purpose-built infrastructure designed for life sciences, innovation and tech companies. PHOTO: CAPITALAND Gone are the days of confining scientific work within the four walls of research labs, separated from the broader community. Sectors such as biotech, deep tech and information technology – and the globally mobile knowledge-based workforce supporting these fields – have different aspirations and needs. Today’s workplace is not just about the physical office space anymore – it’s about what it can offer. Most companies are now leaning towards collaborative spaces that enhance employees’ work experience, prioritise their well-being and foster a strong sense of community. Geneo aligns with this shift by offering purpose-built infrastructure designed for life sciences, innovation and tech companies, while also considering the lifestyle needs of its occupants. To encourage an active lifestyle beyond work, Geneo’s state-of-the-art research infrastructure is integrated with fitness and recreational facilities that anyone can use. Tenants can choose from utilising the basketball court, an outdoor area dedicated to yoga enthusiasts and a running track that circles the development. Those looking for a workout with a twist can head to the fitness corner at 5 Science Park Drive, which houses a 7m-tall sculpture that doubles as an outdoor fitness system. Besides providing a home for companies focusing on life sciences, innovation and tech, Geneo also offers a serviced residence catering to those who want to live near the workplace. Like the buildings dedicated to the companies, Citadines Science Park Singapore, which welcomed its first guests recently, is designed to foster more spaces for collaboration, including a shared working space and meeting rooms, a residents’ lounge and a cafe. At the heart of bringing people together is the event plaza, which connects Geneo’s five landmark Grade A buildings: 1, 1A, 1B, 5 and 7 Science Park Drive. This area also seamlessly links 39,000 sq ft of retail and dining experiences across three levels. The event plaza, which connects all five landmark buildings of Geneo, is a space built for tenants and guests to socialise. PHOTO: CAPITALAND Lee likens the space to that of a piazza in European cities, but designed for Singapore’s tropical climate. The plaza’s louvred glass canopy is supported by 25m tall timber structures, creating a cathedral-like feel. The addition of cascading water terraces creates a grand and welcoming arrival experience. The naturally ventilated plaza will also be opened to the public and has an amphitheatre, which seats 300. It will serve as the venue for large-scale community events and tenant activities, including Flavours of Tomorrow, Singapore’s first alternative food festival presented by CapitaLand’s Singapore Science Park, Innovate 360, and NUS Enterprise, showcasing the latest advances in food technology. Siah Puay Lin, director of architecture at Surbana Jurong, who led the delivery of Geneo’s architectural requirements, says such “social spaces will help redefine how present and future business park models should be”. “This plaza will be a hive of activity after office hours and on the weekends,” she adds. When Geneo is fully operational by 2025, the population at Singapore Science Park is expected to surge from 12,000 to a bustling 21,000. This is why connectivity is a paramount consideration in Geneo’s design. Its main entrance in Singapore Science Park 1 is seamlessly connected with Kent Ridge MRT station and fully sheltered via the underground pedestrian networks, making the hub accessible to people taking public transport. Geneo is also a 10-minute drive to the central business district and is conveniently linked to major expressways via the Ayer Rajah Expressway. Spaces for greater collaboration To support collaboration and resource sharing, Geneo boasts 1.8 million sq ft of Grade A customisable workspaces, wet labs, wet lab-ready units, and co-working labs – specifically designed for innovation, R&D activities, and high space efficiency. “Additionally, Geneo prioritises the future with smart facilities and dedicated collaboration areas, ensuring it remains at the forefront of innovation,” says Lee. Geneo is an innovation hub with five landmark Grade A buildings: 1, 1A, 1B, 5 and 7 Science Park Drive. PHOTO: CAPITALAND Geneo is designed with CapitaLand’s cloud-based Intelligent Building Platform. It is used for real-time monitoring and optimising energy usage, building management and security. Tenants can also use the mobile app CapitaStar@Work to conveniently book meeting rooms across the hub, adding to Geneo’s dynamic collaborative space. Beyond meeting rooms, Geneo’s event plaza will also serve as the space that creates buzz and brings users together, sparking connections, ideas and serendipitous encounters that are conducive to research and innovation, explains Lee. A walk in nature and sustainability Another strong feature of Geneo is its focus on sustainability. “Sustainability is woven into the fabric of Geneo, meeting the needs of environmentally conscious tenants,” says Lee. Buildings boast accordion-like facades which are angled to minimise heat gain and glare. A distributed cooling system optimises energy use, while solar panels minimise dependence on the grid. Rainwater harvesting systems further demonstrate Geneo’s commitment to resource conservation. The event plaza takes eco-friendliness to new heights with the towering structures made from mass engineered timber (MET) harvested from sustainably managed forests. Siah notes: “These structures are the tallest MET canopy in Singapore, and are a testament to innovation and responsible construction practices.” 7 Science Park Drive sets a new standard, achieving the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy certification. This marks a significant milestone as the first Singapore Science Park property to receive this prestigious distinction. The remaining buildings are certified BCA Green Mark Platinum, further solidifying the commitment to environmental responsibility. Over 33 per cent of Geneo’s site area is dedicated to landscaping, reducing the urban heat island effect. PHOTO: CAPITALAND To promote sustainable commuting, Geneo offers 466 bicycle lots, 14 electric vehicle charging stations and end-of-trip facilities such as showers and lockers, catering to eco-conscious individuals. A dedicated 490m cycling path links to nearby park connectors, encouraging alternative modes of transportation. It also boasts a thoughtfully designed central garden filled with winding paths among ponds and various plant species. “Geneo represents a paradigm shift, demonstrating how innovation and sustainability can coexist and thrive. It’s a testament to a future where scientific advancement progresses hand-in-hand with environmental responsibility,” says Siah. By integrating state-of-the-art research facilities, recreational amenities, collaborative spaces and a strong commitment to sustainability, Geneo offers an environment where innovation and creativity can thrive to elevate research and development in Singapore.
  4. SINGAPORE – The wife of tech billionaire Forrest Li is set to acquire a mansion in one of Singapore’s most coveted residential areas, even as the luxury property market remains in a lull. Ms Ma Liqian filed an option in April to buy a so-called good class bungalow (GCB) in Gallop Road for $42.5 million, according to documents seen by Bloomberg News. The house sits on a 1,552 sq m plot of land. Mr Li, the founder and chief executive of Sea Limited, owns a 1,403 sq m land parcel next to the mansion, near the Singapore Botanic Gardens, which is a World Heritage Site. This was acquired in 2019, property records show. A Sea spokesperson declined to comment. GCBs are prized for their rarity and size. The sector has cooled down after Singapore’s biggest money laundering scandal and high interest rates weighed on the market. The sale, by a family surnamed Ku, adds to a handful of transactions recently. This includes a $36 million sale in Cornwall Gardens and a separate mansion in Ford Avenue being bought for $39.5 million by a scion of the Wee family, Singapore’s richest banking dynasty. China-born Mr Li’s fortune is primarily derived from his stake in Sea, South-east Asia’s largest internet company, which owns online shopping platform Shopee and video game developer and publisher Garena. His wealth took a dive during a recent tech downturn, but recovered slightly after his company recorded its first full-year profit since listing. Once Singapore’s richest person, Mr Li now has a net worth of US$3.8 billion (S$5.18 billion), according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. BLOOMBERG
  5. SINGAPORE: A former childcare centre educator was charged in court on Monday (22 Apr) with ill-treating a child after she allegedly tripped a 20-month-old girl and caused her to to fall in a preschool. The 33-year-old woman, who taught at a centre in the northern part of Singapore, has since been banned by authorities from working in the preschool sector. The girl and preschool cannot be named due to a court-imposed gag order. The accused is not named as it might identify the victim. The accused, a Singaporean, was handed two counts of ill-treating a child. Her charge sheet states that she used her leg to trip the girl, causing her to fall at the preschool on Nov 6 last year at about 12.28pm. She allegedly repeated the act minutes later, causing the girl to fall again. The acts caused the alleged victim unnecessary physical pain and injury, charge sheets stated. In a statement to CNA, the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) said it was aware of an incident of child mismanagement by a former educator of the preschool against the alleged victim. ECDA said the child's parents approached the agency a day after the alleged incident to look into the case, as their daughter sustained an injury on her face. ECDA did not specify the injury. The agency commenced investigations immediately, including an unannounced visit to the preschool, interviews with key witnesses, and verification of records. "After an initial delay in reviewing CCTV footage due to system issues, the centre notified ECDA of the child mismanagement incident by a former staff member and made a police report on Nov 21, 2023," said a spokesperson. "Our investigations showed that the child’s injury was caused by inappropriate management by a preschool staff." The accused stopped working in the centre soon after the incident. ECDA has since taken action against the centre and the preschool staff involved under the Early Childhood Development Centres Regulations, the spokesperson added, but declined to comment further due to the court case. To safeguard children’s safety, ECDA will not allow the accused to work in the preschool sector, the agency said. The accused indicated to the court that she was not guilty. She will return to court for a further mention of her case on May 20. If convicted of ill treating a child, she may be jailed for up to eight years, or fined up to S$8,000 (US$5,877), or both. CNA has reached out to the preschool for comment. Source: CNA/wt

  10. KUALA LUMPUR - A few days ago, local celebrity Zhuo Hui Qin went to a tea restaurant to consume, but was asked by customers waiting outside to make rude requests, and the staff conveyed on behalf of the employee that "some guests have seen that we have eaten for a long time, why don't they leave?", the poor dining experience made her can't help but fight back in the community! Zhuo Huiqin has been unloading her identity as a radio DJ, often sharing her life on social networks, a few days ago she posted an article with the title of "Queuing up can be morally kidnapped?", revealing that a few days ago, in order to celebrate a friend's birthday group dinner, the birthday star specially chose the restaurant to enjoy dim sum, "But the store is very wise to choose not to book such an operation because of the good business, of course I respect this option, especially now that there are many people who love to fly planes, and it is a waste to keep guests not coming or being late." Therefore, although their dinner was agreed at half past 10 o'clock, Zhuo Huiqin still went over one hour in advance to get a seat, "When we arrived, it was close to half past nine o'clock, but it was not full, and we could also be arranged to eat at a spacious table." "When it was close to noon, everyone was still unsatisfied, and the store politely came to discuss with us, saying that some customers saw that we had eaten for a long time, why didn't they leave? They had elderly people and children waiting in line for a long .........time." Zhuo Huiqin and her friends enjoyed a lot of dim sum at the restaurant. Zhuo Huiqin and her friends enjoyed a lot of dim sum at the restaurant. Zhuo Huiqin sighed helplessly and asked: "It's a well-known fact that there are many people who come out for brunch on the weekend, KL people don't know, you don't want to wait, you can come early? I don't have to wait, so why can someone go out when he is full, and when he goes to the restaurant, he has to kidnap other guests morally and say that you have old people and children? Are we going to give way to you when we are in the prime of life? Why does this reason and idea sound weird?" The restaurant staff also immediately stated that "there is no time limit for you, just to convey customer opinions", and Zhuo Huiqin also emphasized at the end of the article: "The store is very polite, I have no dissatisfaction, but I feel for those customers who are morally kidnapped." However, she bluntly said that she would not budge in this situation, "You and I are both consumers, is it wrong to defend our rights?" https://www.facebook.com/viviantokdj/posts/956657549143552?ref=embed_post

  12. A serious car accident occurred at the Tampines junction involving six vehicles, one of which overturned and trapped the driver, while the other two vehicles rushed onto the demarcation embankment, and eight people were injured and hospitalized, including students and children. Two of them died of their injuries after being taken to hospital. The crash occurred at around 7am on Monday (April 22) at the junction of Tampines Avenue 1 and Bedok Pool Road. The witness, Mr. Li (45, a salesman), witnessed the incident while driving his daughter to school in the morning. In an interview, he told the Shin Min Daily that the black car was originally driving in the left lane, but in order to overtake the white car in front of it, it switched to the right lane. After that, the two cars are driving parallel for a while, and when the black car switches back to the left lane, it hits the white car and accelerates. At that time, the white car briefly lost control, but fortunately the driver held the steering wheel. Mr. Lee said that when he drove to the junction, the car accident had already occurred, and it was believed that the black car had run a red light at the junction and collided with multiple vehicles. Tampines police car collided with a car, one person was sent to the hospital and one police officer assisted in the investigation "I saw at least three people running out of their car and going to the overturned car and other vehicles to check on the situation, and I saw the situation and called the police for help. ” When questioned, the CDF indicated that they had been informed at 7.07 a.m. on Monday morning that when they arrived at the scene, a person was lying in the driveway with one foot trapped under the car, and that the CDF had used hydraulic rescue tools to save people.

  14. Samsung, a South Korean tech company, is introducing an unpopular new policy for its executives: a six-day workweek. Executive-level staff members are being asked to pick between working an extra Saturday or Sunday, so adding a full workday to their calendars. This action is being taken as pressure on Samsung to preserve its market leadership in the face of growing competition and worldwide chip shortages is building. The Justification for the Policy: Samsung claims that the main motivation behind the policy is the necessity for a more forceful drive in a difficult business climate. According to the company’s most recent financial reports, revenue decreased slightly from what analysts had predicted. Furthermore, production and supply networks are still being disrupted by the ongoing worldwide scarcity of chips. Here’s a breakdown of Samsung’s potential motivations: Enhanced Productivity: Samsung might believe that extra workdays will translate to increased productivity and faster decision-making, particularly in critical areas like chip development and production. Boosting Morale: The company could be aiming to cultivate a sense of urgency and shared responsibility among executives, encouraging them to go the extra mile during this crucial period. Signaling Commitment: This policy could be interpreted as a message to investors and stakeholders that Samsung’s leadership is dedicated to overcoming current challenges and ensuring future success. Concerns and Potential Consequences: Although Samsung highlights the advantages of the six-day workweek, some employees and industry professionals have expressed reservations about the strategy. The following are some possible downsides: Work-Life Balance Woes: Extending the workweek could significantly disrupt the work-life balance of executives, potentially leading to stress, burnout, and decreased job satisfaction. Diminished Creativity: Overwork can stifle creativity and innovation. Executives might prioritize completing tasks quickly over strategic thinking and problem-solving with a fresh perspective. Employee Retention Risks: A demanding work culture could lead to high turnover rates as talented executives seek positions at companies offering a better work-life balance. The Global Context: Long workdays are common in South Korea. When it comes to the average number of working hours per year, the nation routinely ranks highly among OECD members. But in recent years, there has been a growing push to support a better work-life balance. One could argue that Samsung’s policy reversals this trend. Will This Be a Sustainable Model? It is unclear if Samsung’s executive six-day workweek strategy would be beneficial in the long run. Although the organization expects a rise in output and a greater emphasis on conquering obstacles, the possible drawbacks cannot be ignored. Here are some key questions to consider: Will the policy lead to a demonstrable increase in company performance? How will Samsung address concerns about employee well-being and work-life balance? Will this policy attract and retain top talent in the competitive tech industry? Samsung’s ability to strike a balance between expecting top performance from its executives and placing a high priority on their well-being and creating a positive work atmosphere will determine how well this program works. The next few months will demonstrate if Samsung’s “six-day hustle” approach pays off in the long run or has unexpected consequences. Conclusion: The move by Samsung to give CEOs a six-day workweek brings attention to the difficult problem of work-life balance in the competitive global economy. Although the organization hopes to use the extra effort to accomplish its objectives, it is important to consider the risks of employee dissatisfaction and fatigue. As the policy develops, it will serve as a model for other businesses that must balance the need to boost productivity with the requirement to provide a long-term, healthy work environment for their executive teams.

  17. On 30th March 2024 at 6:10pm, I switched on my Fanco ceiling fan in the master bedroom, where my then 3-month old baby usually naps in the day and sleeps at night. I had just carried him out to his nursery in the next room when I heard a loud crash from the master bedroom. I rushed over to check, and realised that one of the fan blades had broken and spun off, hitting the wardrobe and then the wall before landing near my baby’s cot. Thankfully I had just carried my baby out a few minutes ago and no one was in the room at that time! We were just 1-2 metres away from the crash. I reached out to Fanco on 1st April and they sent a technician the next day with the intention of installing new fan blades for us. But when the technician arrived, he took a picture and sent it to his in charge and the person in charge told me over the phone that our ceiling fan was off-centre and too close to our wardrobe. He said it was because of this that the fan blade broke. But this doesn’t make sense. We bought this fan back in November 2021 from Shopee and had it installed by a 3rd party contractor, but a Fanco technician had come down twice to service these ceiling fans (for different issues) and not once have they ever highlighted that this ceiling fan in question is "not centralised" and could be hazardous. We have since replaced all our Fanco fans to a more established brand, KDK. When we asked the KDK installers if the fan's position is too close to the wardrobe, they said no. To be honest, after my experience, I don't think anyone would want to use a Fanco fan again. That’s why we rejected their replacement fan blade and had asked them to compensate us in cash instead. Unfortunately we haven't heard from them ever since, despite several email chases. We were also unable to reach them via their phone lines. This goes to show how irresponsible Fanco is. I previously reached out to Mothership and Today via email, and Mustsharenews via Instagram DMs to share my story but did not hear back but I hope to share my story to warn other Fanco ceiling fan users that this could happen to them as well. https://www.facebook.com/724802440/videos/pcb.1529715630918594/803143344542726 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1644165932534557/permalink/3697792447171885/
  18. Underground link connecting Changi Airport Terminal 5 to T2 will be 2.5km long Changi Airport Terminal 5 (T5), a megaproject expected to change the face of Singapore aviation, will be connected to the other terminals by tunnel. This 2.5km-long underground link will run from T5 to Terminal 2 (T2), providing a direct link to the rest of the air hub. Source: Changi Airport One of its features is an automated people-mover system. Tunnel will run under runway from Changi Terminal 5 to T2 The tunnel between T5 and T2 was revealed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) in response to queries from Lianhe Zaobao. It is understood that the tunnel will be built from the airside — i.e. the area after immigration — and run underneath Runway 2, which is in between T5 and the rest of the terminals. Source: Changi Airport The distance between T5 and T2 is about 2.5km, the CAAS spokesperson said. However, no specific details on how the two terminal buildings would be connected were given. Tunnels will have automated people-mover system The automated people-mover system between T2 and T5 will be similar to the existing SkyTrain that connects terminals 1, 2 and 3, said The Straits Times (ST). Source: Changi Airport on Facebook In addition to that, there will also be a separate baggage conveyor belt system so passengers can transport their luggage between terminals. T5 will be connected to the rest of Singapore via a dedicated ground transportation centre with rail, bus and other point-to-point transport services. Link to cost S$722 million The cost of building the connection is projected to be more than S$722 million. That figure is listed under the Ministry of Transport’s (MOT’s) estimated expenditure for Budget 2024. Source: Ministry of Finance This is part of the projected total expenditure of S$14.24 billion for MOT in the financial year 2024, of which S$11.79 billion is for development expenditure. A S$622 million contract was awarded to the local subsidiary of Chinese construction firm Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co. in October 2023, according to stock exchange filings quoted by ST. It taps the firm to design and build underground structures for the new link. Changi Terminal 5 set to be ready in the mid-2030s According to CAAS, the underground link is part of ongoing infrastructure works for the 1,080-hectare Changi East development project, which includes T5. Its land is almost as big as that of the entire Changi Airport, according to a factsheet released by the airport in 2022. When completed, T5 will be able to handle about 50 million passengers per year. After a delay of about two years due to Covid-19, it is set to begin construction in 2025 and be ready in the mid-2030s. Besides T5, Changi East will also include a three-runway system and an industrial zone.
