SINGAPORE – A month after their son was born, Lily’s husband kicked her out of his home and blocked her from seeing their baby. That marked the start of a long ordeal for the 30-year-old Vietnamese bride, who did not see her son for about 10 months. “I feel it’s very unfair. I’m not in the wrong and I have not been unfaithful,” Lily (not her real name) said in Mandarin, adding that her husband gave her no reason why he wanted to cut ties. “I missed the first 10 months of my child’s life and this is very painful for me.” Lily came to Singapore four years ago to look for a better-paying job, and she found one as a kitchen helper at a restaurant. A compatriot introduced her to her Singaporean husband, a twice-divorced mechanic 15 years her senior. The couple dated for a few months before she became pregnant, and they tied the knot. But their relationship started to fray during her pregnancy. She said: “He kept criticising me and comparing me to other women, saying I was so fat during my pregnancy and I’m not pretty enough. He kept saying I was not gentle with him like the beer ladies.”

SINGAPORE - Mr Shahrul Khan, 25, was concerned about his commute to work at a vaccination centre in Kaki Bukit in the east from his new flat in Tengah in the west. But his worries were eased with the introduction of bus service 871 on July 21. He is pleased that the bus will pass Beauty World MRT station – a convenient route for him to get to work when he and his fiancee move into their new home at the end of 2024. The couple will be living at Parc Clover, situated opposite a new bus interchange that also opened on July 21 in Tengah Boulevard. They travelled to Tengah to check out the new interchange as well as the progress of their new flat. Speaking to The Straits Times, Mr Khan, who lives in the east, said: “When there was talk that a bus interchange was going to be built here, we looked out for which buses were coming here and where they would stop. “The fact that a bus is going to Beauty World station, which is on the Downtown Line, makes it quite efficient and easy for me to go to the east via Bugis station.” The new bus interchange in Tengah is managed by Tower Transit and currently has three bus services – 870, 871 and 992.
