(Image: YouTube/Karni Ilyas) SINGAPORE: An Indonesian preacher who was denied entry to Singapore on Monday (May 16) said he will not give up trying to visit Singapore, describing the country as Malay land similar to Riau where he is from. In a YouTube video on Wednesday, Abdul Somad Batubara said people in Riau see Singapore as part of their land because Singapore was part of the Temasek Malay kingdom. "To say that I'm tired of going to Singapore is the same as saying I'm tired of going to Minangkabau. This is because Singapore is a Malay land. My grandmother has brothers, children and grandchildren who live in Singapore,” he added. Somad said his intention in visiting Singapore recently was to have his wife and children get to know their ancestors. Somad and six people who travelled with him arrived at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal on Monday and were placed on a ferry back to Batam on the same day. Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said he has been known to preach "extremist and segregationist" teachings, which are "unacceptable in Singapore’s multi-racial and multi-religious society". "For example, Somad has preached that suicide bombings are legitimate in the context of the Israel-Palestine conflict and are considered 'martyrdom' operations,” MHA added. "He has also made comments denigrating members of other faith communities, such as Christians, by describing the Christian crucifix as the dwelling place of an 'infidel jinn (spirit/demon)'.” Protesters gathered at the Singapore embassy in Jakarta and the Singapore consulate-general in Medan on Friday, rallying against Singapore’s decision to deny Somad’s entry. The protesters in Jakarta, who are members of the Islamic Sharia Ideology Defenders (Perisai), demanded that the Singapore embassy provide clarification over the incident and apologise openly. The group also called for Singapore’s ambassador to Indonesia to be asked to leave the country. In Medan, the protesters are members of the Alliance of Islamic Organisations of North Sumatra, according to CNN Indonesia. A representative from the group reportedly said that Singapore’s decision had hurt the feelings of Muslims and affected Indonesia’s sovereignty. In response to CNA’s queries, a senior official with the Indonesian National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) said on Wednesday that Singapore took the decision because it is clear that exclusive, intolerant lectures, attitudes and views are the basic ingredients for radicalism. “I see this as an important lesson for Indonesia to also take precautions from upstream by prohibiting radical views, understandings and ideologies that can lead to acts of terror and violence,” said Brigadier General Ahmad Nurwahid, who is the director overseeing terror prevention in BNPT. He added: “The government, including BNPT, respects every policy taken by other countries. There is no attempt to intervene regarding the rejection of the arrival of preacher Abdul Somad and his entourage.” https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/indonesia-preacher-abdul-somad-batubara-denied-entry-singapore-youtube-video-comments-2697786

A man has died after eating licorice every day for three weeks, highlighting a danger of the terrible sweet that you might not be aware of. In a case report in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), doctors outline how a classic sweet led to the death of a 54-year-old man from Massachusetts. When the patient arrived at Massachusetts General Hospital, he was unresponsive following cardiac arrest. He had been in his "usual state of health" that day until he collapsed shaking to the ground in a fast-food restaurant around midday, when he lost consciousness. After attempting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the scene, he was moved to the emergency room with an irregular heartbeat of just 40 beats per minute, before being placed on a mechanical ventilator in the cardiac intensive care unit (ICU). During investigations, he was found to be low in potassium, and medical history was taken from his friends and family. The construction worker had been in good health, with no history of chest pain, shortness of breath, or any other symptoms of heart failure or abnormal heart rhythm. None of his friends were ill, and he showed no other signs of ill health himself. However, he did have a poor diet and would consume several packets of candy a day. Furthermore, he had switched the type of candy he was eating just 3 weeks earlier, from fruit-flavored soft candy (red licorice) to black licorice-flavored, finally giving the medical team a clue about what had caused his condition, especially given his low potassium levels. Black licorice contains glycyrrhizic acid, which can cause changes to levels of potassium, disrupt electrolytes, and increase levels of cortisol, which can lead to hypertension, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, fatal arrhythmias, and renal failure, all of which was seen in the patient. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, for people 40 or older, eating just 56 grams (2 ounces) of black licorice a day for at least two weeks could land you in the hospital with irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia. The death here however was clearly an extreme case. "The goals of care were discussed with his family, who declined renal replacement therapy, and the patient was subsequently transitioned to comfort measures only," the authors wrote in the report. "He died comfortably with his family at his bedside, 32 hours after presentation." If you must insist on eating licorice – let's be honest here, it tried to warn you it was dangerous with its flavor – be assured that this man's consumption was excessive, and you are extremely unlikely to eat enough to cause your own ill health. However, that's not to say it's risk-free. “Even a small amount of licorice you eat can increase your blood pressure a little bit,” Dr Neel Butala, a cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital told Associated Press. Maybe try a remotely edible candy instead. https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/american-man-dies-after-eating-licorice-every-day-for-three-weeks/

Tell her to learn bible studies, that long con has been successful for 2000+ years. Just remind her that shaking her booty at the world doesn't work with that con.

Something doesn't smell right, how do you protect your loan if you have no power of foreclosure? @socrates469bccan sexplain? It just sounds like he pulled a long con and is now using the court to cash out

SINGAPORE - In a first, a Singaporean man has won a court injunction to stop any potential sale and ownership transfer of a non-fungible token (NFT) that was previously owned by him. The injunction, issued by the Singapore High Court last Friday (May 13), is also said to be the first in Asia - as well as globally for a purely commercial dispute - to protect an NFT. NFTs are tokens that exist on decentralised digital ledgers called blockchains. They can be used to represent underlying assets, which can be digital or physical, such as artwork, videos and music. According to documents provided by the counsel to The Straits Times, the High Court's injunction protects a unique Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT, which a Singaporean man is seeking to repossess from an online persona named "chefpierre". BAYC is a limited collection of NFTs, each featuring an ape with distinctive attributes such as facial expressions, clothing and accessories. They are seen as a highly coveted status symbol, with some reportedly being owned by celebrities such as American talkshow host Jimmy Fallon and Canadian singer Justin Bieber. Pop star Madonna was reported to have bought one of the NFTs last month for 180 Ether, a cryptocurrency worth US$560,000 (S$777,000) at the time. The man's identity was redacted from the provided documents, but a search on the Singapore Courts website by ST shows his name to be Janesh Rajkumar. The identity of "chefpierre" is stated as unknown in both the court documents and the website. Mr Janesh is seeking to repossess the NFT known as BAYC No. 2162, which he had used as a collateral for a loan from "chefpierre". He is claiming, among other things, that he is the rightful owner of the NFT and that "chefpierre" had taken it wrongfully from him. In his statement of claim, Mr Janesh said he had previously bought the NFT with the intention of keeping the token for himself. He also said it is a particularly rare piece even among BAYC NFTs due to its attributes, including its potential to create a new NFT of another exclusive series. Due to BAYC No. 2162's rarity and high monetary value, Mr Janesh would often use it as collateral to borrow cryptocurrencies on a community platform known as NFTfi. But he took particular care to specify in loan agreements with lenders that he was not willing to relinquish ownership of the NFT, and would make full repayment of the loan to redeem it back. In the event that Mr Janesh was unable to repay the loan in time, he would inform the lender, who should provide reasonable extensions of time for repayment. He also specified in the loan agreements that the lender should never use the "foreclose" option, which was available if repayment was not made in time, to take ownership of BAYC No. 2162. Court documents state that Mr Janesh had successfully borrowed and paid back many cryptocurrency loans using the NFT as collateral. He first borrowed a loan from "chefpierre" on Jan 6 this year, which he subsequently paid back. While Mr Janesh generally dealt only with reputable lenders ranked highly by NFTfi's system, he decided to transact with "chefpierre" as the online persona was willing to provide favourable terms for a loan, seemed like a reputable lender and had a substantial sum in tokens and NFTs. He later entered into another loan agreement with "chefpierre" on March 19, but subsequently asked for an extension of time to repay the borrowed sum. The two parties then began discussing the terms of a third loan, which eventually led to "chefpierre" offering to refinance the March 19 loan, and Mr Janesh agreeing. But "chefpierre" subsequently refused to lend the additional sum to Mr Janesh, and threatened to use the "foreclose" option to seize BAYC No. 2162 if the March 19 loan was not fully repaid by 5am on April 21. This gave the Singaporean just under seven hours to repay the loan, which he failed to do so, leading to "chefpierre" taking ownership of BAYC No. 2162. Mr Janesh later repaid part of the loan, but "chefpierre" returned the sum and blocked the Singaporean from making any further repayments. Court documents state that "chefpierre" has since listed BAYC No. 2162 for sale on OpenSea, an online NFT marketplace. Law firm Withers KhattarWong, which represents Mr Janesh, said in a press release issued on May 18 that the High Court's injunction recognises NFTs as an asset. The injunction also comes after a recent landmark ruling by a United Kingdom court, which recognised NFTs as "legal property". The court had granted an injunction to freeze two NFTs that were stolen from a woman's digital wallet in January this year and were later found in other digital wallets. https://www.straitstimes.com/tech/tech-news/singapore-high-court-blocks-potential-sale-and-transfer-of-rare-nft
