Malaysian politician Kasthuri Patto has a burning question on drug mules from Malaysia who are arrested in Singapore.

"All of these men, and many others had been arrested in Singapore at the checkpoint while travelling from Malaysia. The burning and inevitable question here is why were they not apprehended by the Malaysian customs or the police force on Malaysian soil?" she wrote in a Facebook post.

Her question followed the recent ex*****on of a Malaysian for drug trafficking in Singapore.

'Dignity is sharing what we know and lifting each other up!"

I met a resident yesterday who was looking around for a little help with his tie. It was his first time wearing one. He’s a cook by trade and had never needed to.

I told him, “That’s not a problem at all. We all know different things at different levels. What matters is doing what we love, and doing it well.”

He smiled, and so did I.

Moments like this remind me that dignity isn’t in knowing everything, but in sharing what we know and lifting each other up.

He needs help more than punishment.

Father Chan, the church’s assistant parish priest, had told the media then that Huang is visually impaired and has special needs.

During court proceedings on Sept 29, Huang, who was accompanied by police officers and his mother in the dock, raised his voice and demanded the charges be dropped.

Addressing District Judge Janet Wang, Huang’s mother, who was crying, said: “Your honour, each time he comes to court, he has all these meltdowns, and it’ll risk him being arrested again. We are going through a lot of stress and anxiety because of this.”

Huang’s previous charges involve him allegedly hurting three people at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Jurong East in August 2024, and eight other people at public places including MRT stations and hawker centres.

Father Cary Chan of the Church of the Holy Spirit had said Huang is visually impaired and has special needs. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Thank you for your service!

The last of the 66 first-generation trains plied for the final time on Sept 26.

With that, all the Kawasaki Heavy Industries trains on the North-South and East-West MRT lines have been phased out of service.

They are replaced by the seventh-generation Alstom Movia R151 trains.

The worst disruptions in Singapore’s rail history that happened in September 2024 was the result of an axle box failure on a first-generation train.

Some decommissioned trains have been given a second lease of life, with 26 train cabins preserved, over 800 train seats donated, and other parts repurposed for other uses

A few organisations, such as St Andrew’s Community Hospital, the Singapore Armed Forces, pop-up hotel Tinypod and real estate company City Developments Limited, have also upcycled entire train cars as hotel rooms and exhibition spaces, among other uses, according to the Straits Times.
