Back when "Ah Girls Go Army" was released earlier this year, you may have heard collective groans at every mention of the film. And we totally understand. The sequel to the film, "Ah Girls Go Army Again" (AGGAA), hits cinemas today (Jun. 16). When asked in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao whether Neo was worried if the flak from the first film will affect the turnout for the second film, he admitted, "I am a little worried." However, he continued, he is "very confident" that the sequel will do well. Trash talk all you want, because the movie series has apparently created a lot of job opportunities, according to the director. Addressing the public, he said: "Don't scold us again. Yes, many people lost their jobs during the Covid-19 pandemic and we created 400 job opportunities by doing these films." Commercial success The first film, "Ah Girls Go Army", was released on Feb. 1, 2022. Despite the negative criticism it received, the film had grossed over S$2 million in Singapore. It also crossed RM1.5 million (S$481,220) collectively in Malaysia and Brunei. Neo told Zaobao that he hopes for AGGAA's box office sales to cross S$3 million. https://mothership.sg/2022/06/jack-neo-job-opportunities-ah-girls-go-army/

A 41-year-old South Korean man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for killing one of his employees by inserting a 70cm rod into his rectum. Was drinking on day of incident with victim According to South Korean media Yonhap News Agency (YNA), the man, identified as Han, had murdered his victim who was in his 20s, on Dec. 31, 2021. The incident occurred at a children's gym owned by Han in northwestern Seoul. Han had reportedly been irritated by the employee's behaviour. An earlier report by YNA highlighted that both Han and the victim had also been drinking six bottles of soju on the day of the incident. The victim subsequently died from organ rupture, according to South Korean police. An autopsy report showed a perforation in the anterior wall of the victim's rectum and ruptured organs, including his heart and liver. Did not have "perverse sexual tendencies" South Korean police also noted that Han did not have "perverse sexual tendencies", based on a digital forensic analysis of his phone. In its ruling, the court said that severe punishment is "inevitable" for Han, given the bizarre and brutal nature of his crime, and the lack of respect for his victim. The prosecution for the case had sought a life sentence for him. https://mothership.sg/2022/06/south-korea-rectum-rod-murder/

Thailand decriminalised weed and allowed its people to grow as many cannabis plants as they want in their own homes since June 9, 2022, and peddlers of the substance are seizing the opportunity to exist in a legally grey area and retail marijuana openly. Reuters reported on June 14 that a green pop-up truck opened in the backpacker haven Khaosan Road, and demand for weed has been very healthy. A variety of marijuana strains were on sale at the pop-up truck, as retailers cash in on demand and the current confusion about how cannabis can be legally used. Staff were seen weighing and packaging buds and crushed leaves in public with sales made to locals and foreigners. There was a healthy crowd of buyers. Foreigners interviewed by Reuters were heard rejoicing. The substance was selling at 700 baht (S$27) per gram for buds, according to Reuters. Staff claimed the drug can affect users in different ways, such as helping them sleep better or easing anxiety. 1 dead from overdosing on cannabis On the same day as the Reuters report, Bangkok Post reported that four men were admitted to hospitals in Bangkok for treatment after cannabis overdose. One of them later died of heart failure. The death came five days after the decriminalisation of cannabis. Why cannabis existing in legally grey area? Thailand became the first Asian country to legalise the growing of marijuana and its consumption in food and drinks in early June 2022, by de-listing it as a narcotic. Even though cannabis is a newly decriminalised substance, officially, the plant grown in homes must be of medical grade and used for medical purposes only. This means it must not have THC (the psychoactive compound that gets people "high") content above the legal maximum. Moreover, smoking pot in public can violate health laws. However, the Thai parliament is still debating a draft cannabis regulation bill. The government has said it hopes the move will help the agriculture and medical research sectors of the economy. But marijuana use in Thailand has a long history. Even though medicinal marijuana was legalised in 2018, the Southeast Asian country has traditionally used cannabis to relieve pain and fatigue. https://mothership.sg/2022/06/bangkok-cannabis-pop-up-truck/

SINGAPORE: At 56, researcher and artist Dr Dawn-joy Leong has amassed a wealth of accolades, from academic awards to recognition for her artistic endeavours. Just last year, she bagged a top prize at the Goh Chok Tong Enable Awards, celebrating the achievements of people with disabilities. But she points out: Her career only properly began not too long ago – after a life-changing diagnosis at 42 revealed that she had autism. “I'm a late achiever because I only started to do anything from the time I was diagnosed. If you look at my CV, it doesn't begin from my graduation (in 1989) … I did nothing,” joked Dr Leong. “It was only after my diagnosis that I really seriously got to do all the things I loved to do, I wanted to do.” GETTING DIAGNOSED AT 42 Dr Leong was diagnosed with autism in 2007, after a series of stressful events triggered suicidal thoughts in her. Apart from the pressure and isolation of pursuing her master's in Hong Kong, her father was dying, her family was “basically breaking up” and her friends were not around, she said. “There was one night, I remember very clearly … I found myself just at (the bedroom window) ledge staring at the moon, with this strange compelling (thought): Just jump.” She sought professional help, and after a few sessions and tests, her psychologist told her she was autistic. With this revelation came a flood of relief that she “wasn’t somehow impaired or bad”, she said, adding that it helped her understand some difficulties in her past. For instance, teaching pre-school had been "horrible" because of the constant "sensory bombardment" that left her exhausted every day. This was on top of having to manage an auto-immune disease, Behcet's syndrome. “It came as: ‘Wow. It's great, I’m not a bad, anti-social, nasty person for not wanting to go into a crowded, noisy room.’” NEW SENSE OF IDENTITY The diagnosis marked “the beginning of selfhood”, said Dr Leong. It gave her a new sense of identity and purpose, which she channelled towards her lifelong passion for academia and art. She went on to get a PhD relating to autism and art in Australia in 2016, for which she was conferred a dean’s award. In 2019, she became the first and only Singaporean autistic researcher to be invited to sit on committees of the Asia Pacific Autism Conference. The year after, she became the first autistic artist in Singapore to be commissioned by a major arts institution, the National Gallery Singapore, to hold a solo exhibition. In 2021, she landed a prestigious prize at the Goh Chok Tong Enable Awards for having made significant achievements in her field. Despite all this, she maintains that her greatest achievement is having the courage to cut off “toxic” relationships in her life. This included relationships with certain family members who felt she needed to be "closeted" because of her quirks, along with some relatives and friends who she said manipulated her because of her autism. “(Leaving that situation) meant that I had to let go of my friends, part of family and privilege. So it came to a point where I'd rather be me, than to be a well-kept pet in a golden cage. “And so that was my greatest moment. … From then on, I never looked back.” SENDING A MESSAGE TO SOCIETY On winning multiple awards, Dr Leong said: "This so-called worldly success was never my goal and it still feels very strange to me ... I just look at (my projects) as something that an inner compulsion made me do." But she hopes that her winning a prize at the Goh Chok Tong Enable Awards will send a message to society. “(I hope it shows) it's possible for people who are disabled, in some way or other, to thrive, to find themselves. “I hope that my winning this award speaks to others that it's possible to achieve your dreams, with a lot of help from others." At the same time, she emphasised another message: That people are worthy, regardless of whether they win an award or not. NOMINATIONS OPEN FOR AWARDS Nominations for the fourth edition of the Goh Chok Tong Enable Awards (GCTEA) will be accepted until Jul 15. The GCTEA (UBS Achievement), which Dr Leong won, celebrates people with disabilities who have made significant achievements in their fields, and who serve as an inspiration to others. Another award category, the GCTEA (UBS Promise), is for those with disabilities who have "shown promise to pursue greater heights in their areas of talent". The awards are an initiative by the Mediacorp Enable Fund, which aims to help build a society where people with disabilities are recognised for their abilities and lead full, socially integrated lives. The fund is administered by SG Enable, with Mediacorp as its official media partner. Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong is the patron of the fund.

Winners of this year’s GCTEA will be announced in December. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/dawn-joy-leong-autism-artist-goh-chok-tong-enable-awards-disabilities-2718016
