Du 21 au 23 mars se tient la 31ème édition du sidaction, un événement caritatif pour récolter des fonds pour la science. Si on ne meurt plus du Sida aujourd'hui, c’est grâce à la recherche médicale.

Former lawyer M Ravi was spotted at a walkabout with opposition party Red Dot United (RDU) on Friday (March 21) evening in the new Jalan Kayu single-seat ward. Donning a lanyard identifying him as a volunteer, the 55-year-old was seen chatting with residents and distributing flyers near Fernvale LRT station and at the hawker centre in Fernvale Community Club. When asked if he is contesting in the coming general election, Ravi told the media after the hour-long walkabout that he has «pledged his support» to RDU as a «strong alternative voice in Parliament». While not a member, Ravi said he is attracted to party due to its «sustainable policies». «I live here, and I was born in Jalan Kayu, and so this place is very special to me, he said. »I also know that RDU is contesting in Nee Soon GRC, where I spent my teenage years." Ravi was part of the Reform Party slate that challenged for the six-member Ang Mo Kio GRC against the People's Action Party(PAP) during the 2015 General Election. The PAP, led by then-Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, won with 78.6 per cent of the votes.

A TikToker and former scriptwriter-actor with local YouTube comedy channel Wah!Banana was convicted by the High Court on March 21 for raping a woman he met on the dating app Tinder. Lev Panfilov, a Singapore permanent resident originally from Russia, was found guilty of two counts of rape, one count of sexual assault by penetration, and one count of outrage of modesty. The 28-year-old will be sentenced at a later date. The assault took place on Jan 12, 2021, in his bedroom after he took the woman back to the flat he shared with flatmates to work on her script. The woman, who was then 30 years old, had worked as an actress and model and was trying to branch out into comedy writing. She and Panfilov presented different accounts of the incident. During the trial, which began in May 2023, she was cross-examined for an “unprecedented” 13 days, according to the prosecution’s written submissions. The two matched on Tinder and later moved their chat to WhatsApp before arranging to meet in person at a restaurant in Robertson Quay.
