    • A week after Lions goalkeeper Hassan Sunny shot to overnight fame in China, the 40-year-old was spotted in Shanghai, much to the delight of Chinese football fans who jumped at the chance to meet him in person. At the invitation of real estate firm CapitaLand, Hassan and his family visited the city on Sunday (June 16), reported The Straits Times. News of his arrival in Shanghai quickly spread on Chinese social media after the football player was spotted at the airport. Fans soon gathered at the three CapitaLand malls where Hassan was scheduled to visit that day.   The veteran goalkeeper first visited Raffles City Changning in the morning, where he signed autographs and took photos with fans. Next on the list was Hongkou Plaza, where Hassan — who owns the Muslim food stall Dapur Hassan in Singapore — put together a plate of nasi lemak. Following that, he visited a children's football class held at Raffles City The Bund. Hassan greeting participants of a children's football class (left), and preparing nasi lemak (right).

One of the fans, surnamed Zhou, told Zaobao he had visited Raffles City The Bund in the afternoon after failing to meet Hassan in the morning.   Zhou eventually got his signature after waiting outside the restaurant where the goalkeeper was having dinner. "I have no more regrets today," the fan told reporters. Another fan, 19-year-old student Zhang Hanyuan, told The Straits Times: "I think Hassan has great professionalism. "He persevered till the last moment in the Singapore-Thailand match, and you could say he helped China get into the final 18. So I'm very thankful from the bottom of my heart." Hassan and his family will spend three days in Shanghai and return to Singapore on Tuesday.   The Singaporean goalkeeper recently went viral following his multiple saves in Singapore's World Cup qualifier match against Thailand on June 11, which allowed China to advance to the next stage. Chinese fans in Singapore subsequently flocked to Dapur Hassan, and also sent him money through the stall's QR code to show their appreciation. In an Instagram post on June 13, Hassan thanked Chinese fans for their support but urged them to stop sending money. Speaking to media after a training session at Jurong East Stadium that day, he said he will be donating the money received. "When you receive money that does not belong to you, you have to donate it."
    • SINGAPORE - A car with a deregistered licence plate was among five vehicles involved in an accident on the PIE on June 14. The fender bender – which also involved a taxi and three other cars – happened on the PIE towards Jurong at 10.55am, said the police in response to queries. The police added that one car was abandoned by the driver at the accident site and was later found to have a deregistered vehicle registration number.   In photos of the collision posted on SG Road Vigilante Facebook page, a black sedan can be seen with its front part damaged, after it was involved in a collision with the grey car. Two men and a woman are seen standing next to one of the cars, and one of them can be seen taking photos of the accident scene. In response to queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said it assessed one person for minor injuries but the person did not want to be taken to the hospital.

    • Song's formaldehyde detector shows that the formaldehyde levels in his furniture were over the acceptable limit.     The excitement of moving into a new home quickly died down for one family, as they fell sick one after another.  Song Hongjun, 52, told Lianhe Zaobao that he purchased a 1,615 sq ft condo unit at Normanton Park in June 2023, and hired Far East Service Centre to handle the unit's renovations and furnishing.  The Songs moved into the apartment on March 13 this year, after renovations were completed.    Trouble began that very day, as Song's eight-year-old daughter developed dry eyes and a sore throat. The 52-year-old businessman and his wife didn't think too much of their child's discomfort, until they also developed similar symptoms.  After losing her voice for two weeks, Song's wife visited the doctor and was told that she might be suffering from formaldehyde poisoning. Formaldehyde is a colourless, pungent chemical that is found in adhesives, composite wood and paint, which are used in furniture such as cabinets. High levels of exposure to formaldehyde can irritate the skin, throat, lungs and eyes, while long-term exposure can potentially lead to cancer.   Following the doctor visit, Song alerted the interior design company, who sent a staff member to his home on April 2 to conduct formaldehyde and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) tests.  According to the Singapore's code of practice for indoor air quality for air-conditioned buildings, the level for formaldehyde should be below 0.08ppm.  Out of 36 pieces of furniture that were tested, only five were found to under the threshold. In Song's five-year-old son's room, the formaldehyde level in one of the drawers was found to be 4.8ppm — 60 times the acceptable limit.  To remedy the situation, Far East Service Centre twice engaged the services of a formaldehyde removal company, but their treatment methods could not completely eradicate the problem.    Song told Zaobao that he was also worried that the spray used during the treatment would cause more health problems for his family. The renovation company then offered to pay for Song's family to move out of their unit, but the amount they offered was not enough for them to move into a high-end hotel.  The temporary accommodation that they offered was also not up to Song's standards.  Negotiations between the two parties eventually reached a stalemate, and Song said the company stopped replying to him on April 30.  "We've been sleeping on the floor in the living room for nearly three months. I bought two air purifiers and opened all the windows to counter the effects of the formaldehyde," he said.    Song and his wife had planned to ask his elderly father to live with them in their new home. "I can't imagine how he would have reacted to the formaldehyde," she lamented.  Homeowner to sue renovation company  Song hired movers to remove the furniture from his apartment on June 10. PHOTO: Lianhe Zaobao As the renovation company remained unresponsive, Song sent a lawyer's letter to them.  The company then agreed to waive the balance payment of $7,800, and also pay Song $23,000 as compensation. They would also visit his apartment to remove the formaldehyde.    Song, however, refused to accept their offer.  "The cost of the furniture alone is $33,000. I even had to hire someone to remove the old furniture. Their offer is very insincere," he said.  Song eventually hired movers to dismantle and remove all the furniture from his home on June 10. He added that he would sue the renovation company.  When contacted by Zaobao, a spokesperson from Far East Service Centre said they were aware of industry regulations, but denied breaking any rules.
