«Slavery Sites of Seychelles,» a publication detailing some of the slavery sites in the country in the three national languages, was officially launched on Friday. Odile De Commarmond, working closely with Colette Gillieaux, is the main researcher and driving force behind the project, in which 80 people in Seychelles were interviewed. Material for this latest publication has been gathered since 2002 with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation's (UNESCO) Slave Route project. The collection through the Memory of the World programme - which was an inventory of all institutions with documentation of historical and heritage value - is the first exercise that took place. De Commarmond said, «It was an interesting journey that took us to many sites in the country, some were up on hills and in bushy areas that were not very easy to get to.» She added «It has taken this long to complete the book as she has been doing the work while working full-time or furthering her studies.» De Commarmond explained that among the challenges faced when carrying out the research were the fact that some of the sites were either partially or completely destroyed. The Seychelles National Archives being closed for a long time was also a challenge as «there we were unable to verify some of our work with the documents found there,» she said. In her address, De Commarmond talked about  Ros Kriminel (Criminal Rock) on Grande Soeur Island and that «through our many interviews we have found that to punish slaves, their owners would take them to that rock and throw them into the sea.» She shared that during her interviews, she discovered many other harrowing stories and «those we spoke to gave us very rich testimonies, that were delivered with a lot of emotions when recounting the slaves' suffering.» While a lot of the research has been included in «Slave Sites of the Seychelles,» Decommarmond revealed plans to have future publications to include other information that have been left out of this one. The researcher's next step is to continue with the research of which «is to find the slave market that was located on Mahe, somewhere in town», which today is the capital of Victoria. In addition to the launch of the book, guests to the event were also able to view an exhibition of the many sites the researchers visited as well as photographs of some of the people whose memoirs have been used.

SINGAPORE - Building strong family ties is a lifelong journey, and strategies and supportive workplace practices can create an environment where work and family goals can complement rather than be in conflict with each other, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said on May 25. Calling the family unit the cornerstone and bedrock of Singapore society, he emphasised that government policies will continue to strengthen the role of families here, and help Singaporeans realise their hopes and dreams for their families. PM Wong was speaking as guest of honour at the launch of the National Family Festival (NFF) 2024 at Gardens by the Bay, organised by Families for Life (FFL). The event is being held in conjunction with the launch of Children's Festival. PM Wong cited the Tripartite Guidelines on Flexible Work Arrangement Requests released in late April as an example of progress towards a work culture that supports both career and family. He said the aim is to foster a work culture that recognises and supports the whole person, not just as an employee.

For three days, a man who lived in the same flat as his father had no idea that the latter had died. The 41-year-old only made the grim discovery when he noticed a pungent smell emanating from his 63-year-old father's room on Thursday (May 23) afternoon, reported Shin Min Daily News. They live in a three-room flat at Block 109, Hougang Avenue 1. Riduan, who works as a cleaner, told the Chinese evening daily that his mother died last year. His father would typically stay in his room by himself with the door locked. «I last saw him at about 8pm on Monday when he came out to take some food before going back to his room. As my dad rarely leaves his room, I didn't notice anything amiss,» he explained. «My dad scolded me last time when I knocked on his door and told me not to disturb his sleep.» Riduan had just woken from a nap at around 4.40pm on Thursday when he noticed a foul stench. He initially thought his cat had died, but found it roaming in the living room.

Facebook user Priyanka Vijoy uploaded a video of the meteor onto the platform, describing the sighting as a «rare and thrilling experience».
