DOSSIER. Le MMA est-il un sport trop violent ?

Le maire de Paea, Antony Géros, a annulé une soirée de MMA qui devait avoir lieu dans la salle Manu Iti à Paea ce samedi 26 avril. Il a justifié ce choix en qualifiant ce sport de trop brutal en l'opposant à la boxe anglaise, plus noble selon lui. Pourtant, depuis 2019 et sa légalisation, le MMA est un sport déjà très structuré avec des événements encadrés et suivis par de nombreux polynésiens. Nous avons fait le tour des clubs de MMA pour voir si ce sport est vraiment un sport de brut comme l'affirment certaines personnes.

'It is difficult to leave Marine Parade': Tan See Leng thanks residents after surprise move to Chua Chu Kang GRC

Manpower Minister Tan See Leng has penned a heartfelt Facebook post thanking Marine Parade residents for their support for the past five years.  Dr Tan said he's leaving Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC with a «full heart» after a surprise move in the eleventh hour which saw him moved to lead the People's Action Party (PAP) team in Chua Chu Kang GRC. «It is difficult to leave Marine Parade,» said Dr Tan, while reassuring residents that they have been left in good care with the new PAP team comprising Associate Professor Faishal Ibrahim, Seah Kian Peng, Tin Pei Ling and new faces Diana Pang and Goh Pei Ming. The five-member PAP team for Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC was returned unopposed after no other candidates filed nomination papers for the constituency. «Over the past five years, I have been deeply blessed by your warmth, support, and friendship. Marine Parade is special, and I will cherish the memories we have together,» said Dr Tan in his Facebook post posted yesterday afternoon, addressing residents.

'PSP for Pole-Struck Politicians': Netizens get creative after party founder Tan Cheng Bock almost gets hit by carpark barrier

From Tan Chuan-Jin's viral running photo to Jamus Lim's iconic «cockles of my heart» catchphrase, memes and jokes are what make something as serious as the General Election more lighthearted.  And for the 2025 General Election, Progress Singapore Party (PSP) has unintentionally got the ball rolling.  In a viral video, founder and chairman Tan Cheng Bock, secretary-general Leong Mun Wai and a PSP supporter were seen narrowly avoiding being hit by a carpark barrier on Nomination Day (April 23).  The trio had alighted from their car outside a coffeeshop near Nan Hua High School and after the vehicle drove off, the barrier dropped.  Leong was quick to catch it before it hit anyone and as he did so, a man donning the PSP shirt ran to assist them.  While thankfully no one was harmed, tickled netizens got creative.
