🤳 S'pore actress Joanne Peh cancelled a TikTok livestream sale she was supposed to host for a Chinese merchant on Jun. 17.   In a tearful vent, she slammed the merchant for being disrespectful during their interaction.   ➡️ https://bit.ly/4xEyXOQ   Follow us @mothershipsg   Singaporean actress and host Joanne Peh made headlines after abruptly cancelling a highly anticipated e-commerce livestream sale in Guangzhou, China, on June 17, 2026.   Visibly shaken and breaking down in tears multiple times during a subsequent one-hour TikTok live session that same night, the 43-year-old called out an unnamed Chinese merchant for a severe, systemic lack of professional respect. Here are the full details of what transpired, the specific incidents that led to the cancellation, and her response.   ### What Caused the Cancellation? While walking away from a live broadcast meant sacrificing massive preparation time, effort, and significant revenue for her team, Joanne stated that she reached a point where she could not, in good conscience, tolerate the working environment.   Speaking later to media outlets, she clarified that it wasn’t a single isolated event, but a buildup of disrespectful behavior across multiple interactions:    * **Disregard for Basic Hospitality & Comfort:**   Joanne noted that while her team is highly reasonable and doesn't demand luxury treatment—joking that they don't expect to be picked up in a "big S-Class" Mercedes or greeted with bouquets—basic courtesy was completely missing. Upon arrival, they weren't even offered a drink when they sat down.    * **Smoking in Her Presence:**   During meetings, the merchant openly smoked in front of her. When the issue of the smoke was brought up, the merchant dismissively responded, *"This is my office,"* showing zero regard for her boundaries or physical comfort.    * **Unprepared Workspace:**   Despite Joanne's team arriving early to do their homework and set up, the actual streaming area was left completely unprepared by the brand's staff on the day of the broadcast.    * **Belittling Other Creators:** Joanne witnessed the merchant making highly disparaging remarks behind the scenes about other content creators they had previously collaborated with.   ### "Respect is Never Optional" During her emotional broadcast and subsequent social media updates, Joanne took a firm stand on industry culture, urging other creators—whether big or small—to draw clear professional boundaries.   > *"This is the one merchant that I think you are so full of yourself. If you think you can go ahead and stream all by yourself, then don't invite the creators... Success is built on people. That support should be met with gratitude, not entitlement. Which is why respect should never be optional."*   >  She also emphasized her responsibility to her audience, explaining that because her name, reputation, and trust are attached to every item she sells, she refused to stand in front of a camera and support a business that operates with such an entitled mindset. ### Support from Her Husband Toward the end of her emotional broadcast, Joanne was joined on camera by her husband, actor Qi Yuwu. He revealed that he was actually the one who encouraged her to go live and speak her mind. After seeing how distressed she was by the incident, he immediately took her out for a nice meal to comfort her and urged her to stand up for herself publicly so that others in the industry would know it is okay to walk away from toxic partnerships.

😢 HK dim sum restaurant Tim Ho Wan will be closing its Plaza Singapura outlet on Jul. 12.   It was the restaurant's 1st overseas branch 13 years ago.   ➡️ https://bit.ly/4aAFTTa   Follow us @mothershipsg   The announcement that **Tim Ho Wan** will close its Plaza Singapura flagship outlet on **July 12, 2026**, marks the end of an era for Singapore’s casual dining scene.   When this location opened back in April 2013, it was a massive milestone: it was the Hong Kong brand’s very first expansion outside its home market, famously bringing its "world’s most affordable Michelin-starred dim sum" to global foodies. Back then, eager diners routinely braved three-hour-long queues just to get a taste of their signature baked barbecue pork buns.   Here are the full details behind the closure and how the restaurant plans to say goodbye.   ### Why is it closing?   The closure is tied directly to real estate rather than business performance. Landlord CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust is launching a massive **S$160 million asset enhancement initiative** to rejuvenate and upgrade both Plaza Singapura and The Atrium@Orchard. The extensive redevelopment works are slated to begin in the third quarter of 2026 and run through late 2028. Tim Ho Wan is stepping out of the space to accommodate these structural changes.   ### The "13 Days of Gratitude" Countdown   To thank local foodies for 13 years of memories, the restaurant is rolling out a daily countdown promotion from **June 30 to July 12, 2026**.   Every single day leading up to the final closure, the Plaza Singapura outlet will offer a **30% discount** on a different signature menu item. The rotating daily specials will include crowd favorites like:    * Pork & Shrimp Dumplings (*Siew Mai*)    * Pan-fried Radish/Carrot Cake    * Steamed Golden Lava Salted Egg Buns    * Pork Congee with Century & Salted Eggs   ### The Grand Finale: A Nostalgic Farewell Celebration On its absolute final day, **July 12**, regular public operations at the outlet will wrap up early at **5:00 PM**.    Following that, from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM, the restaurant will host an exclusive, ticketed customer appreciation dinner called **"A Nostalgic Farewell Celebration."**     * **The Experience:** For **S$68 per person**, attendees will get access to a free-flow spread of selected dim sum and beverages, alongside live acoustic music performances and a dedicated photo-op "Memory Wall."    * **The Take-Home:** Every guest at the dinner will receive an exclusive goodie bag packed with Tim Ho Wan merchandise and a **S$30 dining voucher** to use on future visits.   ### Where to get your Dim Sum fix next   While this particular piece of local food history is wrapping up, the brand isn't going anywhere. Tim Ho Wan will continue to operate its **eight other remaining outlets** scattered across the island, including locations at Marina Bay Sands, Jewel Changi Airport, Great World, Westgate, and Tampines 1.

Will Singapore one day get more involved in the World Cup? ⚽️ Tell us what you think by voting in the link below. 👉 https://tsl.to/worldcuppoll @mustsharenews   The question of whether Singapore will ever make a serious impact on the global football stage—specifically by qualifying for the FIFA World Cup—is one that stirs up an incredible amount of passion, debate, and a healthy dose of skepticism across the island. Here is a full breakdown of where Singapore stands on its World Cup ambitions, what the country is doing to get there, and the major hurdles standing in the way.   ### The Current Blueprint:   "Unleash The Roar!" & Goal 2034 In the late 1990s, Singapore launched the famous "Goal 2010" project with the aim of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. While that bid ultimately fell short, the national ambition didn't fade away entirely. The strategy focuses heavily on long-term infrastructure rather than quick fixes. Known as **"Unleash The Roar!" (UTR!)**, the national movement aims to systematically elevate the entire ecosystem of Singapore football. Instead of just focusing on the current senior national squad, this blueprint targets grassroots development through specific pillars:    * **School Football Academies (SFAs):**   Partnering with the Ministry of Education to establish dedicated academies across local secondary schools to give young talent elite coaching and structured training early on.    * **National Football Curriculum:**   Implementing a standardized, modern playing and coaching philosophy across all youth levels.    * **Overseas Scholarships:**   Sending top-tier young local talents to elite academies abroad (such as the IMG Academy in the United States or clubs in Europe) to give them high-intensity international exposure before they transition to senior football.   The ultimate target tied to this project is **Goal 2034**—an aspirational long-term goal to see the Lions qualify for the 2034 World Cup.   ### What Makes a Future Qualification More Realistic?   The road ahead is incredibly steep, but two structural factors work in Singapore’s favor:    1. **Expanded World Cup Format:**   The modern FIFA World Cup format accommodates **48 teams**, up from the traditional 32. This expansion directly translates to more slots for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). With a baseline of eight or nine direct spots available to Asian nations, the door is open wider than it has ever been for developing football nations.    2. **A Shift in Local Football Leadership:**   The national teams have seen fresh tactical leadership, with coaches like Gavin Lee injecting a focus on youth development, modern pressing systems, and data-driven training to make Singapore more competitive against regional giants.   ### The Real-World Obstacles   Despite the structural changes, local fans remain deeply realistic about the hurdles the Lions face:    * **Regional Competition:**   The gap between Southeast Asian nations and Asia's elite (such as South Korea, Japan, Australia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia) remains immense. Even within Southeast Asia, regional rivals like Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia have rapidly advancing football programs and highly competitive domestic leagues.    * **The Academic vs. Sports Balance:**   In Singapore, balancing rigorous academic pathways and National Service (NS) with the extreme demands of pursuing professional sports at an international elite level remains a core challenge for young athletes and their families.    * **Domestic League Sustainability:**   For a national team to thrive, it needs a highly competitive domestic pipeline. Revitalizing local attendance, commercial sponsorships, and intensity within the Singapore Premier League (SPL) is a massive puzzle the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) is actively trying to solve.   ### Cast Your Vote Because local football sparks such intense conversations among Singaporeans, community platforms regularly gauge public sentiment to see if the nation still believes in the dream or views it as an uphill battle.
