A tourist from Australia had his trip disrupted when he suffered a serious asthma attack after his first night in Singapore. In a post on Facebook group Complaint Singapore on Wednesday (June 5), Nguyen Luoi said he had booked a three-night stay at a hotel in Bugis via a third-party website. The hotel is listed as three-star online. After checking into the hotel on Monday, Nguyen was given a room that did not have a window. When he woke up the next morning, he said he experienced breathing difficulties which persisted throughout the day. He attributed this to the presence of mould in the room. His post included a video of what looked like mould growing on the room's air-conditioning vents, which he believed had caused his asthma attack. «I suspect the flimsy wallpaper also hides more mould as I've never had an asthma attack this bad,» he wrote. In a subsequent email to the hotel, he said that he did not bring along his asthma medication «as I have not had a use for it for a long time».
Lieutenant Jonathan Loh, 25, has become the first Singaporean in nearly 30 years to graduate top of his cohort at the prestigious United States Air Force Academy (USAFA). At his graduation ceremony in Colorado on May 30, LTA Loh – the only Singaporean in his year – waved the Singapore flag with pride after receiving 10 awards. The last time a Singaporean topped the USAFA programme was in 1995. The four-year USAFA programme receives 12,000 applications every year but accepts only 1,100 to 1,200 students. Of these, only 15 are international cadets. Only two Singaporeans have ever been top graduates of the course. The other was Colonel (Retired) Low Chung Guan. Graduating international cadets are typically honoured at the USAFA’s graduation ceremony, where they get the chance to fly their country’s flag. Speaking to reporters on June 7, LTA Loh recalled how he felt “proud, thankful, honoured and humbled” when he flew the Singapore flag. “It wasn’t about me at that moment but the people behind me.”
