The purpose of World Mental Health Day is to improve knowledge, raise awareness and mobilise efforts in support of mental health around the world.

Former transport minister S. Iswaran will not be appealing the sentence handed to him by the High Court. In a statement on his Facebook page at 1.20pm on Monday (Oct 7), Iswaran said that he will start serving his sentence on the same day. He also stated it was important to him that the charges against him were amended by the public prosecutor. «I accept that as a minister what I did was wrong under Section 165. I accept full responsibility for my actions and apologise unreservedly to all Singaporeans,» he wrote. Iswaran added that the emotional toll on his loved ones of a long trial extending well into 2025 and possibly beyond, has weighed heavily on him. He also said the past 15 months have been «most difficult». The 62-year-old thanked those who have stood by him, stating that they helped him «face the darkest hours with strength». «Serving my constituents and Singaporeans over the past three decades has been the greatest honour of my life. As this chapter of my life comes to a close, my family and I look to the future with gratitude and renewed hope.» he wrote.

An impromptu decision to engage the services of a car wash facility in JB turned into a nightmare for a Singapore driver after his vehicle was defaced. He has reportedly been unable to receive compensation for the damage, which will cost an estimated $900 to repair. The driver, surnamed Lee, told Shin Min Daily News he had visited the facility in Taman Maju Jaya on Sept 29. The facility is about 15 minutes drive away from Woodlands Checkpoint.  When he enquired on the price of a car wash, an employee deflected his questions and insisted on polishing his car, pressing the machine to its bonnet for a demonstration. When the machine was lifted, however, large and obvious spiral marks were left on the bonnet. The worker then returned the machine to the facility owner and fled, according to Lee. «I asked the boss who should compensate me. He told me to pay RM450 (S$139) for a full car polish and said he would fix the marks, but it couldn't be removed,» he told Shin Min. The owner then brought down the charge to RM100, before eventually offering the polishing service for free after subsequent attempts to remove the marks failed.

SINGAPORE – Food delivery rider Roger hates standing still, especially when it is hot. “If I stop moving, that’s when the fatigue hits,” he said. The hotter weather is taking a toll on him mentally, he said. “If you keep getting orders, you’ll forget all the tiredness,” said Roger, 45, a full-time delivery rider for Deliveroo. And he has to work harder these days just to make the same amount of money as a couple of years ago. He works 12 hours a day to make about $150 and earns about $3,000 a month to support his family. “My wife works as well. If not, we really cannot survive,” the father of two told The Straits Times. Like other riders who spoke to ST for this report, he did not want to use his full name. Every day, thousands of motorcycle delivery riders like Roger take to the streets to satisfy the nation’s food cravings. The ultra-convenience of having anything from bubble tea to chicken rice, briyani and pizza delivered costs a few dollars. Peak times are lunch and dinner hours, and pretty much all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

SINGAPORE — Amid the rocks, water and greenery at Lower Seletar Reservoir, the blobs of pink stood out. Not only did they catch the attention of Facebook user Elsa Xu on Saturday (Oct 5), but they also set off alarm bells for her. The large egg clusters belong to an invasive snail species known as the golden apple snail. In her post on the Nature Society Singapore (NSS) Facebook page on the same day, Xu said she was taking a walk with her daughter along the reservoir when they stumbled across a «significant presence of golden apple snail eggs». Expressing her shock, she added: «They are scattered everywhere — along the bank, on the rocks, and even on the reeds. The situation is alarming, and I believe immediate action is needed to address this issue and remove the eggs.» She added that she has e-mailed national water agency PUB to bring the matter to its attention. Several photos of the scene captured by Xu show hundreds of bright pink egg clusters speckled across the reservoir's rocks and vegetation. In one photo, a plastic bag is seen to be overflowing with snail shells.
