She had accidentally left her carry-on luggage at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and only remembered it when she was already back in Singapore. When she returned to KL two days later, the bag was found thanks to a thorough five-hour search by airport police. The woman, identified as Wang Liyue (transliteration), told Shin Min Daily News that she had flown to Osaka, Japan to attend a conference in December. As she could not get a direct flight back to Singapore, she opted to fly to KL before returning home via car. Said Wang, who works in academic publishing in the field of biology: «After touching down at the airport on Dec 20, I had to go through two security checks. After passing through the first check, I was busy preparing for the second check.» As the driver of the vehicle was getting impatient, Wang hurriedly rushed out, bringing only her check-in luggage with her. «I believe my friend had helped me to carry my bag to the security checkpoint, hence after it was done I didn't take it with me,» said Wang. She only realised to her horror that her bag was missing once she returned home.

SINGAPORE - As a graphic designer, Mr Pow Jun Yang's lifelong dream was to stage his own art exhibition. This became an item on his bucket list, when the 31-year-old bachelor was told recently by doctors that he has about three months left to live. Diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in early 2023, he has since exhausted all treatment options, including several cycles of chemotherapy. He has stage 4 urachal cancer, which arises in the urachus or its remnants. The urachus connects the umbilical cord to the bladder in a foetus, and usually closes before birth. While shocked, Mr Pow initially thought he could overcome the cancer, given his young age. But all the cycles of chemotherapy and operations he underwent to tackle the cancer failed to bring good news. Around May 2024, his doctors told him that he probably had a lifespan of around six months left. He has since outlived those six months. «I just tell myself to take each day at a time,» he said. Around November, his doctors gave him a three-month prognosis. That spurred him into action - to try to turn his dream of holding an art exhibition into reality.
