What began as a peaceful sunset photo session for two teenage girls at East Coast Park ended in shock when a man's body washed ashore on Sunday (Dec 21). The body of the 28-year-old man was recovered from the water that evening after the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) received a call for assistance at about 12pm. He was was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. Police said the man is believed to have drowned and no foul play is suspected. Speaking to Shin Min Daily News on Dec 21, one of the teenagers, Liang Baoyin (transliteration), said she was taking sunset photos with her friends when she noticed what appeared to be a pair of black shorts behind one of them. Upon closer inspection, she realised it was a man's body and was frightened.

Singaporean content creator Fauzi Azzhar has issued an apology on social media after facing backlash for posting his travel announcement in an obituary-style image on Monday (Dec 22). In a video uploaded to his Instagram, Fauzi acknowledged that while he had intended the post to be funny, it was inappropriate due to sensitive issues such as mental health, which he discusses on his channel. «I apologise to all of you who were scared for a split second. Yes, you laughed about it but after reflecting a little more, I think it’s not funny,» said Fauzi. «This was a stupid post because I talk about mental health on my social media platform, which makes it ironic that I (went ahead) and posted this thinking it was funny.» Fauzi, who has over 40,000 followers on Instagram, also shared that he was concerned by a negative comment made by a follower in response to his post. «It scares me because this person has been following me for quite a bit, (which suggests) they have certain feelings towards me. I wonder why,» he said. 

미국 경제가 3분기(7~9월)에 예상을 뛰어넘는 성장세를 보였다. 이에 힘입어 미국 경제성장률이 올해까지 3년 연속 한국 경제를 웃돌 것으로 전망된다. 이는 미국으로의 투자 쏠림을 강화해 원-달러 환율 상승 요인으로 작용할 수 있다는 지적이 나온다.● 美, 3년 연속 韓 경제성장률 웃돌 가능성미국 상무부는 3분기 미국의 국내총생산(GDP) 증가율이 4.3%(전기 대비 연율)로 집계됐다고 23일(현지 시간) 밝혔다. 이는 분기 기준으로 2023년 3분기(4.7%) 이후 2년 만에 가장 높은 성장률이다. 다우존스가 집계한 전문가 전망치(3.2%)도 훌쩍 뛰어넘었다. 해당 분기 실적이 1년간 계속 이어지는 것을 가정한 연율 계산을 뺀 전 분기 대비 성장률은 약 1.1%다. 3분기에 깜짝 성장하면서 올해 미국 경제는 국제통화기금(IMF)이 전망한 2.0% 성장을 무난히 달성할 것이라는 분석이 나온다. 이렇게 되면 미국은 3년 연속 한국의 경제성장률을 앞지를 수 있다.

“비밀번호를 입력하고, 화면에 ‘백오십만 원’이라고 적어주세요.”23일 오전 11시 서울 동대문구의 한 은행 창구. 기자가 치매 노인 박선자(92·가명) 씨의 통장과 도장을 내밀고 현금 인출을 요청하자 직원이 이같이 답했다. 디지털 패드에 박 씨의 이름을 적자 띠지로 묶인 현금 뭉치가 곧장 기자의 손에 쥐어졌다. 신분증이 필요 없느냐고 묻자 직원은 “(예금주의) 도장이 있으니 괜찮다”며 대수롭지 않게 답했다. 치매 노인과 무관한 제3자가 타인의 자산을 탈취하는 데 걸린 시간은 단 1분 40초였다.취재팀은 22, 23일 이틀간 치매 노인 가족의 동의를 받아 서울과 경기의 은행 5곳에서 ‘미스터리 쇼핑’을 진행했다. 대상은 2022년 치매 진단과 함께 장기요양등급을 받은 박 씨의 통장이었다. 그 결과 5곳 모두에서 아무런 제지 없이 현금을 인출할 수 있었다. 172조 원에 달하는 ‘치매 머니’를 노린 사냥이 잇따르지만, 정작 최전방인 은행 창구는 허술한 본인 확인 절차 앞에 뻥 뚫려 있

For a long time, mental health in the Middle East stayed tucked away in private corners of conversation. A relative might hint at persistent worry, then quickly shift to the weather or work. Suggesting therapy could raise eyebrows, as if it signaled some deeper failing. That reluctance has not vanished, but it is loosening. More people in Iran now open their phones not just to check messages, but to look for a psychologist who might understand what they are going through.
