I’m currently experiencing a full-blown football withdrawal. What do you expect after weeks of late nights / early mornings,  dramatic goals and global storylines that resonated from New York to Nee Soon.One moment you’re emotionally invested in penalty shootouts and underdog runs, the next you’re back to scrolling aimlessly on social media, wondering where all the Haaland, Mbappe and Messi memes went.Thankfully, the football calendar doesn’t have to stop. Enter the Asean Hyundai Cup, Southeast Asia’s biggest football tournament, taking place until Aug 26. It’s quite possibly the perfect antidote to your post-World Cup blues. And at the heart of it?

SINGAPORE — Frustrated by the cardboard cat houses placed at a void deck near his home in Bukit Batok, a man set fire to them, causing more than $900 worth of damage to the ground and walls.On Aug 4, Koh Teng Boo, 68, was sentenced to three months’ jail after pleading guilty to committing mischief by fire.Koh, a retiree living in Bukit Batok East Avenue 4, noticed in September 2025 that cardboard structures to house community cats had been put up around a pavilion and void deck near his home.Deputy Public Prosecutor Stephen Yeo said the houses, which were stocked with food and water, provided shelter for stray cats.Koh observed that this led to birds coming to the cat houses and claimed that the structures were prone to attracting pests, said the prosecutor. He raised the issue with his MP.In October 2025, Koh threw three cat houses into an incense burner bin and set them on fire.“The accused claimed that he had done so because no visible action had been taken about the cat houses despite his plea to his Member of Parliament,” said DPP Yeo.Two days later, Koh noticed that more cat houses had been set up around his block.
