An infant care teacher in Singapore was sentenced to nine months in jail on Wednesday (17 April) for slapping a 13-month-old girl who refused to drink milk. The incident was brought to light when the child’s father noticed a red mark on her face and urged the preschool to investigate. In court, the 40-year-old teacher pleaded guilty to one count of ill-treating the infant. Both the teacher’s and the infant’s identities are not public due to a gag order to protect the victim’s identity. Infant care teacher slapped baby when she refused to drink milk According to The Straits Times (ST), the teacher, who is no longer employed, was in charge of infants between two and 18 months old. Her responsibilities included feeding them and changing their diapers, among other caretaking jobs. On 15 March 2023 at around 5.20pm, she attempted to feed the 13-month-old girl milk from a bottle, but the infant refused.

She then slapped the child across the cheek when the baby resisted. Furthermore, she also pushed the girl, who was crying, into a crawling position. Kept quiet when colleague asked about red mark on baby’s face When a colleague noticed the red mark on the infant’s face about 20 minutes later, the accused remained silent. Instead, she applied an ice pack to the baby’s face before leaving at 6pm. At about 6.15pm, the baby’s father arrived to pick her up from the infant care centre. He was reportedly informed that his daughter had fallen from her cot. Source: Sven Brandsma on Unsplash, for illustration purposes only Dissatisfied with the explanation, he insisted that the preschool review surveillance footage of the incident. Around 7pm, a colleague informed the teacher that the baby’s father was angry over the girl’s injury. It was at this point that the accused confessed to what happened. Consequently, the preschool suspended the teacher on 16 March and terminated her employment on 20 March. The school later met with the father on 28 March after his return from overseas. Upon learning of the incident, the father filed a police report, leading to the teacher’s arrest on 5 December. ‘She was just a baby & I cannot fathom how someone could do this to her’ Requesting nine to 10 months’ jail for the teacher, Deputy Public Prosecutor Hidayat Amir highlighted the child’s vulnerability. He added that the teacher could have gotten away with the offence if not for the mark on the victim’s face. “This is compounded by the accused’s evasion,” he said. “She was not forthcoming at the start and kept mum when asked about the red mark.” The father, who cried when the surveillance footage was played in court, expressed to reporters that he was glad the teacher was going to jail. However, the teacher has yet to apologise for her actions. Additionally, the mark on the baby’s face lasted for a week following the incident. “She was just a baby and I cannot fathom how someone could do this to her,” he said. Justice was served for my daughter today

1. Nestlé adds sugar and honey to its infant milk and cereal products sold in many poor countries but not in Europe or UK, according to a report. The study said "almost all" the Cerelac infant cereals examined contained added sugar of an average of almost 4 grams per serving.

The owner of a local bike shop has called Shimano’s European 'free inspection program' "a gamble", after one customer’s component failed just five months after it was cleared as safe. The crank, one of around 2.8 million affected, failed without the rider knowing and was previously inspected by a mechanic at Surrey Hills Cycle Works. Business Owner Dave Farmer believes the only way to guarantee the safety of the affected Hollowtech II cranks sold between 2012 and 2019 is "constant inspection". (Image credit: Dave Farmer) Farmer told Cycling Weekly that the crank in question was initially inspected in the first week that the programme was issued by Shimano, back in September 2023, where it showed no visible signs of fracturing or debonding, and made no clicking noises under load. The European 'free inspection programme' - vs a recall of affected cranks in the US - did not require all affected products to be replaced, something which Farmer considers a "gamble" on Shimano’s part. The approach was deemed a "very unusual approach to corrective action", by a legal expert, in an interview with Cycling Weekly. "It does feel like a bit of a gamble," Farmer told Cycling Weekly, "and personally I don’t like that gamble. I feel that if you have created cranks that can fail, they should all be exchanged." SHIMANO HOLLOWTECH II INSPECTION PROGRAMME AND RECALL Last year, Shimano recalled 760,000 Hollowtech II road cranks in the USA and Canada after a reported 4,519 incidents of cranksets separating, resulting in six reported injuries, "including bone fractures, joint displacement and lacerations", according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. In Europe, Shimano instead opted for a 'free inspection programme', whereby dealers would inspect the crank, and replace it if it was deemed unsafe. Shimano also advises a 'second inspection' one year after the initial inspection, and adds that it recommends "a regular crankset check on your own after the second inspection". Shimano's 2023 financial report showed costs incurred for inspecting "some bonded 11-speed Hollowtech II road cranksets produced by the Company on and before June 30, 2019 show[ing] bonding separation and delamination, which may produce gap and clearance". These losses are detailed as 2,762 million Japanese yen, around $18 million or £14 million. Farmer said that the UK distributor for Shimano - Madison - had been good in honouring replacement cranks, with no instances of warranty being refused, but time scales made it tricky to manage customer expectations. "We’ve certainly had to tweak the discussion we have with our customers," said Farmer, "now, if anybody approaches us with a crank that needs inspecting, we just take it off and send it straight to [UK distributor] Madison." "It’s still the responsibility of the rider to constantly inspect their crank, which makes a mockery of having a professional inspect the crank in the first place!" Farmer added. Whilst Farmer said replacement cranks in standard lengths had generally been with the shop in "two to three weeks," things had been "more tricky" for shorter cranks, such as 165mm lengths. "Timescale is challenging. Any crank that we send off goes into Madison’s que and we have no idea how long that is," he said. (Image credit: Future (Tom Couzens)) Farmer went on to explain that Shimano’s approach meant that the distributor was left unsure how much stock to hold. "To defend Madison, it's a complete and total guess for their product manager to kind of order enough stock for the problem. There's absolutely no way of knowing what chainring diameters, what crank lengths to stock." Cycling Weekly asked Shimano for comment on this case, and the brand told us: "Shimano takes all warranty returns and shared information from IBDs and our service network seriously. Using this information, we can continually monitor the performance of our products in the market. Our priority, of course, is to get cranksets that are unsafe out of the market; only a cranksets that is found to be non-conforming after following the inspection process will be replaced." It added: "While the interval from the initial inspection to any secondary inspection that takes place is approximately one year, Shimano will always recommend that if you notice anything abnormal even within one year, to stop riding immediately and have it checked by an authorized Shimano dealer."

Audrey Fang, 39, the Singaporean woman who was reported missing in Spain recently has been found dead. A man found her body at a location 150km away from the hotel she was staying at not long after she disappeared. Local police have arrested a Singaporean man in relation to the case. Singaporean woman found dead several days after going missing According to The Olive Press, Ms Fang’s body was found about 150km away from her hotel in a parking lot in Abanilla, a municipality in Spain. Source: Marcial Guillén for EFE via Cadena SER A man who was heading to a restaurant nearby discovered her body the morning after she went missing. Spanish radio station Cadena SER reported that at the time of the discovery — which was around 7am on 10 April (1pm Singapore time) — authorities at the scene had not identified the body. They could only confirm that she was dead. The Olive Press also said authorities struggled to identify the body as there was no identification found on the victim. Search launched after hotel staff find belongings still in room Cadena SER also reported that Ms Fang had left her hotel on foot alone on 9 April. She was last seen on CCTV at around 8.45pm. Hotel employees later sensed something amiss when cleaning services came to her room and noticed her belongings were still there despite her absence. Ms Fang had booked a stay at the hotel from 4 to 10 April and failed to check out on her last day. The hotel staff thus reported the matter to the town’s Civil Guard, which prompted a search operation. Police arrest Singaporean man in relation to the case When Ms Fang’s family realised that she didn’t arrive back in Singapore on 12 April as planned, they filed a police report and sought help from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), The Olive Press noted. According to The Straits Times, Ms Fang had mentioned to her family that she might be meeting a friend in Spain but didn’t share more details. The chain of events that followed her family’s police report is unclear. However, the Civil Guard managed to find and arrest a suspect, said to be a Singaporean man. Cadena SER stated that the man’s relationship to the victim is unclear. The Court of Instruction number 3 of Cieza (Murcia) is overseeing the case. The suspect will likely face the judge within the next two days. MS News has reached out to Ms Fang’s friends for comments.

Seven percent of all American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows, according to a nationally representative online survey commissioned by the Innovation Center of U.S. Dairy. If you do the math, that works out to 16.4 million misinformed, milk-drinking people. The equivalent of the population of Pennsylvania (and then some!) does not know that chocolate milk is milk, cocoa and sugar. But while the survey has attracted snorts and jeers from some corners — “um, guys, [milk] comes from cows — and not just the brown kind,” snarked Food & Wine — the most surprising thing about this figure may actually be that it isn’t higher. For decades, observers in agriculture, nutrition and education have griped that many Americans are basically agriculturally illiterate. They don’t know where food is grown, how it gets to stores — or even, in the case of chocolate milk, what’s in it. One Department of Agriculture study, commissioned in the early ’90s, found that nearly 1 in 5 adults did not know that hamburgers are made from beef. Many more lacked familiarity with basic farming facts, like how big U.S. farms typically are and what food animals eat. Experts in ag education aren’t convinced that much has changed in the intervening decades. “At the end of the day, it’s an exposure issue,” said Cecily Upton, co-founder of the nonprofit FoodCorps, which brings agricultural and nutrition education into elementary schools. “Right now, we’re conditioned to think that if you need food, you go to the store. Nothing in our educational framework teaches kids where food comes from before that point.” Upton and other educators are quick to caution that these conclusions don’t apply across the board. Studies have shown that people who live in agricultural communities tend to know a bit more about where their food comes from, as do people with higher education levels and household incomes. But in some populations, confusion about basic food facts can skew pretty high. When one team of researchers interviewed fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders at an urban California school, they found that more than half of them didn’t know pickles were cucumbers, or that onions and lettuce were plants. Four in 10 didn’t know that hamburgers came from cows. And 3 in 10 didn’t know that cheese is made from milk. “All informants recalled the names of common foods in raw form and most knew foods were grown on farms or in gardens,” the researchers concluded. “They did not, however, possess schema necessary to articulate an understanding of post-production activities nor the agricultural crop origin of common foods.” In some ways, this ignorance is perfectly logical. The writer and historian Ann Vileisis has argued that it developed in lockstep with the industrial food system. As more Americans moved into cities in the mid-1800s, she writes in the book “Kitchen Literacy,” fewer were involved in food production or processing. That trend was exacerbated by innovations in transportation and manufacturing that made it possible to ship foods in different forms, and over great distances. By the time uniformity, hygiene and brand loyalty became modern ideals — the latter frequently encouraged by emerging food companies in well-funded ad campaigns — many Americans couldn’t imagine the origins of the boxed cereals or shrink-wrapped hot dogs in their kitchens. Today, many Americans only experience food as an industrial product that doesn’t look much like the original animal or plant: The USDA says orange juice is the most popular “fruit” in America, and processed potatoes — in the form of french fries and chips — rank among the top vegetables. “Indifference about the origins and production of foods became a norm of urban culture, laying the groundwork for a modern food sensibility that would spread all across America in the decades that followed,” Vileisis wrote, of the 20th century. “Within a relatively brief period, the average distance from farm to kitchen had grown from a short walk down the garden path to a convoluted, 1,500-mile energy-guzzling journey by rail and truck.” The past 20 years have seen the birth of a movement to reverse this gap, with agriculture and nutrition groups working to get ag education back into classrooms. Aside from FoodCorps, which worked with slightly more than 100,000 students this year, groups like the National Agriculture in the Classroom Organization and the American Farm Bureau Foundation are actively working with K-12 teachers across the country to add nutrition, farm technology and agricultural economics to lessons in social studies, science and health. The USDA Farm to School program, which awarded $5 million in grants for the 2017-2018 school year on Monday, also funds projects on agriculture education. For National Dairy Month, which is June, NACO has been featuring a kindergarten-level lesson on dairy. Among its main takeaways: milk — plain, unflavored, boring white milk — comes from cows, not the grocery case. Nutritionists and food-system reformers say these basic lessons are critical to raising kids who know how to eat healthfully — an important aid to tackling heart disease and obesity. Meanwhile, farm groups argue the lack of basic food knowledge can lead to poor policy decisions. A 2012 white paper from the National Institute for Animal Agriculture blamed consumers for what it considers bad farm regulations: “One factor driving today’s regulatory environment ... is pressure applied by consumers, the authors wrote. “Unfortunately, a majority of today’s consumers are at least three generations removed from agriculture, are not literate about where food comes from and how it is produced.” Upton, of FoodCorps, said everyone could benefit from a better understanding of agriculture. “We still get kids who are surprised that a french fry comes from a potato, or that a pickle is a cucumber,” she said. “... Knowledge is power. Without it, we can’t make informed decisions.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/06/15/seven-percent-of-americans-think-chocolate-milk-comes-from-brown-cows-and-thats-not-even-the-scary-part/

Come next month, bak chor mee lovers can no longer head to 120 Neil Road to satisfy their noodle cravings. Popular hawker stall Soon Heng Pork Noodles recently announced via their Facebook page that their Neil Road stall will be shuttering on April 27. The announcement did not include a reason for the closure but did mention that the decision was made "with a heavy heart". Soon Heng Pork Noodles then took the time to thank those who've supported them, from customers, family, friends and even food bloggers. The post added: "It's been a wonderful six years." Long-term customers would be pleased to hear, though, that they might still have a chance to tuck into the delectable dish offered by Soon Heng Pork Noodles. The hawker noted that while "taking a break", they would still be sniffing around for opportunities to reopen in a different location. AsiaOne has reached out to Soon Heng Pork Noodles for more information. In the comments section of the Facebook post, netizens were saddened by the announcement. PHOTOS: Screengrabs/Facebook/Soon Heng Pork Noodles One Facebook user commented: "Sorry to hear. Please let me know when you’re back so that I can help get word out! Be well!" Another fan, based overseas, mentioned that she would "definitely keep track" of the stall's updates and head over for a meal the next time she is in Singapore. Food publication SethLui.com mentioned that Soon Heng Pork Noodles specialises in 'Bedok-style' bak chor mee. It’s a soupy variant of the minced meat noodle dish. The stall has a score of 4.4 out of five from more than 150 reviews on Google. Given their popularity, it should come as no surprise that they have fans overseas. According to a photo taken of the menu in March 2024, their bak chor mee comes in two sizes, $5.30 for small, $6.30 for large. Customers have a choice of four noodles: Mee Pok, Mee Kia, Mee Tai Bak and Kway Teow. Second closure in a span of 2 years In early April 2023, Soon Heng Pork Noodles announced on Facebook that they would be moving out of their second venue at Blk 728 Ang Mo Kio Ave 6. They had just opened this outlet in July 2022. Later that month, the hawker stall confirmed the Ang Mo Kio outlet's final day of operation as April 16, 2023. 'Flying' with SIA As a testament to the stall's well-loved bak chor mee, Soon Heng Pork Noodles even managed to reach new heights (quite literally) with their collaboration with Singapore Airport Terminal Services. An in-flight version of their signature dish was made and served in Singapore Airlines' (SIA) First and Business Class flights in 2023. According to Singapore-based travel site Milelion, Soon Heng Pork Noodles' version even trumps the dry variety which SIA also offered. https://www.facebook.com/soonhengporknoodles/posts/998956475186352

Dona Manis Cake Shop is popular among foodies and easties for its old-school, affordable banana pies and chocolate tarts. It has been successfully operating from the basement of the retro Katong Shopping Centre since 1992. But recently, there’s been a controversial new development. Another similar bakery called Auntie Peng Banana Pie, has opened right next door. And it sells almost identical bakes at the same prices. Like Dona Manis, Auntie Peng Banana Pie is a no-frills takeaway bake shop - most of the space is dedicated to the kitchen, with a small display counter in front. There are also photos pasted on the glass doors advertising its signature bakes, alongside a blown-up shot of Mdm Soh and her husband. 1of7 Auntie Peng, co-founder of Dona Manis, opened rival shop on 9 April As it turns out, Auntie Peng Banana Pie is run by Mdm Soh Tho Lang (who goes by “Auntie Peng”), 74, and her family who all used to work at Dona Manis next door (Mdm Soh as the baker, her hubby and kids as kitchen assistants). In fact, up until she left, Mdm Soh’s son, Tan Ee Hsing, 48, tells 8days.sg that she was the shop’s sole baker and co-founder. She had set up Dona Manis together with the late Mr Tan Tieow Teong back in 1992, but officially left the business at the start of April this year, before opening Auntie Peng Banana Pie on 9 April. Mr Tan passed away last October. 2of7 Netizen’s comments on a Facebook post No, Dona Manis’ new owner did not ‘kick’ Auntie Peng out While details are unclear, there’s speculation online surrounding Mdm Soh’s departure from Dona Manis. On a Facebook post on a foodie group about Auntie Peng Banana Pie, a netizen writes that Mdm Soh left Dona Manis because “the founder passed on and left the business to his daughter, but she kicked Auntie Peng out”. When 8days.sg asked Ee Hsing about this, he declined to comment, but insists “there’s no bad blood” between the two businesses. 8days.sg didn’t manage to speak to Mdm Soh, who Ee Hsing says isn’t very phone-savvy. Dona Manis’ owner, Esther Tan, 69 (daughter of the late Mr Tan), similarly clarifies that there’s no drama with Mdm Soh, and firmly denies kicking her out. “She was not an employee, she was a partner with my dad. I saw people online saying that I kicked her out - I thought 'no way, you can’t kick out a partner so easily!' What she told me [before she left Dona Manis] was that she wanted to retire, so I said okay,” she shares with 8days.sg. 3of7 Auntie Peng and Dona Manis are right next door to each other Why did Auntie Peng leave Dona Manis? When Mdm Soh opened the new bakery next door, Esther admits that she was surprised. “I didn’t know until they already rented the shop. In my mind, I thought she wanted to retire, but she now says that her son wants to take over [her biz eventually]”. 4of7 Mdm Soh aka 'Auntie Peng' and her husband Ee Hsing notes that his mum is now in fact semi-retired. Their new shop is basically a family business that he and his sister will take over eventually. Mdm Soh has trained them both to bake the banana pies. So why did Mdm Soh really leave Dona Manis? Ee Hsing shares some details with 8days.sg off the record - let’s just say it’s probably not a personal issue between his mother and Esther, but a classic case of differences in business goals. 5of7 Is Mdm Soh the only person with the OG banana pie recipe? While he declines to comment on the true reason for the split, Ee Hsing does share that Mdm Soh is the creator of Dona Manis’ famous recipes, adding that “what Dona Manis is selling now is not [using] the same recipe, ’cos the original recipe belongs to my mum.” Currently, Ee Hsing and his sister bakes all the pies at her new shop under Mdm Soh’s supervision. Esther, on the other hand, claims to also be in possession of the aforementioned OG banana pie recipe. “She [Mdm Soh] did come up with the recipe, it’s true,” she admits. However, she adds: “My dad did share the recipe with me, and I just improved on it”. Whoa. 6of7 Auntie Peng’s son says their pies taste different from Dona Manis’ Ee Hsing clarifies that while “it’s possible that Mr Tan gave her the recipe, the fact is that the banana pies taste different”. He explains: “Everybody can have a recipe - just go to YouTube, and it’ll teach you how to make a [copycat] Dona Manis banana pie. The only thing is - can you make it taste the same as ours, which captured so many people’s hearts and taste buds?” But he laughs it off and says: “It’s an open market, anybody can sell anything. Whose banana pies will capture more people’s taste buds? It used to be my mum’s [at Dona Manis], now there’s one more version to try - isn’t that a good thing also?” 7of7 Late co-founder Mr Tan at Dona Manis Cake Shop On setting up shop next to Dona Manis Both Aunty Peng Banana Pie and Dona Manis sell pretty much the same items, with both shops’ banana pies going for $33 for a whole pie (10 slices); $3.30 a slice, and their chocolate tarts similarly costing $6 for five pieces. Isn’t it awkward for both rival businesses to be located right next to each other? Ee Hsing notes that this wasn’t exactly an intentional decision. “We did not originally plan to [open our biz next to Dona Manis], but it just so happened our unit used to belong to ice cream shop Humble Scoop, which closed down. So we decided to take over the unit,” he explains. He adds: “We didn’t take it up immediately but three months later, it’s as if the shop [space] was waiting for us”. Meanwhile, Esther admits that while she was initially “surprised when [Auntie Peng Banana Pie] appeared next to us”, she goes on to say: “It’s okay, people can go to whichever shop they want to buy from, there’s enough room for the banana pies to go around”. Auntie Peng Banana Pie is at #B1-92 Katong Shopping Centre, 865 Mountbatten Rd, S437844. Open Mon - Sat 9am - 6pm; Sun 9am - 3pm. Tel: 8088 9639. More info via Facebook.

SINGAPORE: A cyclist who jumped onto the bonnet of a car after an altercation with the driver has admitted to harassing the driver with her actions. Nicolette Tan Shi-en, a 32-year-old Singaporean lawyer, pleaded guilty on Wednesday (Apr 17) to one charge of intentionally harassing driver Elaine Michele Ow, 49, in an altercation in June 2023 that went viral. A second charge of obstructing the road will be taken into consideration for sentencing. Tan's lawyers from Allen & Gledhill revealed that she was diagnosed with a brain tumour shortly after the incident, and cited an expert who said the onset of the tumour likely predates the altercation and could have influenced her behaviour. However, sentencing was adjourned to May for the defence to obtain clarification on whether the brain tumour had a causal link to the commission of the offence. THE CASE The incident occurred on Jun 2, 2023. Ow, who has pleaded guilty to her own charges over the case and is pending sentencing, was driving her car along Still Road South in the same lane as Tan. When the pair rounded a bend, Tan felt that Ow drove too close to her and exclaimed. She then caught up with Ow at the traffic junction of East Coast Road and Joo Chiat Road, where Ow stopped at a red light. In the ensuing confrontation, Tan blocked Ow from moving forward by standing in front of her with her bicycle. She then questioned Ow about her "behaviour" and alleged that she had almost been knocked down. Ow apologised and repeatedly said she needed to get to a cooking class she was due to teach. She tried many times to manoeuvre around Tan but was blocked by her. Tan also tried to open Ow's car door, with Ow swearing at her. After Ow carried Tan's bicycle to the side of the road, Tan jumped onto the car bonnet and Ow drove off with Tan clinging onto the vehicle. Tan eventually slipped off the car at the entrance of the carpark to i12 Katong mall when the car stopped, and let go of Ow's windscreen wiper after passers-by coaxed her to do so. In the dock on Wednesday, Tan looked down as the video clips depicting her aggressive behaviour were played. SENTENCING ARGUMENTS Deputy Public Prosecutors Mark Chia and Sunil Nair sought a short detention order for Tan. This is a community-based sentence that does not leave a criminal record, where an offender is detained in prison for not more than two weeks to give them an experience of prison life. Defence lawyer Sanjiv Rajan sought a fine of S$2,000 instead. He said his client suffers from various conditions, including major depressive disorder. However, he focused on the brain tumour Tan was diagnosed with shortly after the incident. The defence sought the opinion of a psychiatrist who said the onset of the tumour could not be ascertained, but likely predated the incident on Jun 2, 2023. While no definite or specific relationship causing the offence could be found, the influence of the brain tumour on Tan's behaviour at that time is "highly probable", said Mr Sanjiv. He said the location of the tumour, in the left frontal region of the brain, may lead to personality changes, disinhibition and impairment of judgment. Parties will return to court on May 24 for sentencing. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=761832615596313

https://cdn2.thumbsnap.com/i/71/80/GPH1fUtf.mp4 Ernakulam : The family has accused the police of the death of a young man due to a rope tied by the police on the road during traffic control as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Kochi. Chippi, the sister of deceased Manoj Unni, told ETV Bharat that the police are saying that her brother was drunk to cover up the fall. A blood test conducted at the hospital did not detect the presence of alcohol. The young man's family says that his brother has no habit of drinking and the allegation that he was drunk and driving is false. This is the first time the brother has been involved in an accident. The reason for the accident was that the police could not see the rope tied on the road. Chippy said that if the police had tied at least one ribbon on this rope, he would not have lost his brother. The police who provide security to important persons should also consider the lives of common people. Chippy said that if the rope is tied across the road, anyone will be in danger. She said that the ribbon was tied on the rope after the locals protested and there was a lack of light at the place where the accident happened. Meanwhile, the police denied the family's allegation. The police said that the traffic was stopped by tying a rope as part of security measures and this is a normal procedure. Kochi City Police Commissioner S Shyam Sundar said that Manoj did not stop despite the police officers assigned at the place showing their hands. The accident victim was speeding. He also clarified that it will be possible to say whether he was drunk only after getting the test results. The City Police Commissioner also informed that the CCTV footage of the accident will be collected and examined. Meanwhile, the body of Manojin, who died in the accident, was shifted from a private hospital to the Ernakulam General Hospital. The post-mortem will be completed and the house will be given to the relatives.

SINGAPORE - A group of three people who held up a banner at Gardens by the Bay calling for an end to Singapore’s arms trade with Israel are under investigation, said the police. In a video clip of the demonstration circulated on several Instagram accounts, the three protesters can be seen standing on the OCBC Skyway and unfurling a banner that said: “End SG – Israel arms trade”. Singaporean adults need to pay $10 to enter the OCBC Skyway, while a ticket for foreigners costs $14. The incident took place on the evening of April 15, according to a statement issued by the protesters. The identities and nationalities of the three protesters remain unclear. In response to queries, the police said reports had been lodged, while a spokesman for Gardens by the Bay said it is aware of the incident and a police report has been filed. However, the spokesman said he could not comment further as police investigations are ongoing. In a statement issued on April 15, the protesters said their actions were “in solidarity with... a global economic blockade across 50 cities to disrupt the global economy’s indifference to the human rights abuses happening right before our eyes”. Although Singapore was part of efforts at the United Nations to broker a ceasefire in Gaza and provide humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, it would all mean nothing if Singapore “continues to enable the violence”, the statement added. It also touched on how Singapore’s purchases of weapons from Israel have funded its Gaza war efforts, and how weapons jointly developed by the two countries are now being used in the war. The statement also referred to Singapore’s upcoming leadership transition. On April 15, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong unveiled the timeline for Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong to succeed him as Singapore’s next prime minister on May 15. The statement referred to a video message on social media that DPM Wong posted after the announcement. It said: “In a video statement, he has promised Singaporeans that ‘your dreams will inspire my actions, your concerns will guide my decisions’. “We act today to send an unequivocal message about the dreams and concerns of Singaporeans – we do not want our nation to contribute financially to the infliction of suffering of innocent men, women, and children.” The statement added that Singaporeans have made several efforts to raise concerns about the crisis in Gaza by writing letters to ministers, online petitions and social media campaigns, among others, but all avenues of appeal have been exhausted. It said: “We have no choice but to escalate our efforts to draw attention to our urgent demands. You cannot ignore us now. “We act today because we believe that, to exist in this world, we must care bravely, safeguard rights fiercely and act tirelessly to end all oppression. We are not free until we are all free. We are not free until Palestine is free.” On April 15, activists around the world launched coordinated protests in more than 40 cities after the group A15 Action called for a day-long multi-city economic blockade in solidarity with Palestine. The A15 Action website – which carried information about the protests, and also included legal resources and regional contacts – said the aim was to “disrupt and blockade economic logistical hubs and the flow of capital”. Demonstrators took to the streets in several cities on April 15 and had even blocked San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, causing traffic to halt for hours. Closer to home, the group’s social media accounts showed that individuals in Vietnam were pasting stickers on various products at supermarkets in Ho Chi Minh City, and decrying them as products that support genocide. In Australia, demonstrators showed up at Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s office in Adelaide, where they simulated their deaths in what is called a “die-in”, and held up signs calling for Australia to stop arming Israel.
