After her teenage son was arrested for being a loan shark runner, one heartbroken woman has come out to warn other parents to be vigilant about their children's activities. Speaking to Shin Min Daily News on Sunday (July 21), Luo, 44, said that she learned about her 15-year-old son's arrest at home last Thursday. «I was confused at that time because my husband and I were not at home,» she said. «I rushed home immediately after receiving a call from the police, but I could not see him by then.» In a media statement on July 18, the police said that they were alerted to two cases of loanshark harassment along Woodlands Avenue 6 and Yishun Avenue 11 on July 17 and 18.

SINGAPORE — US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer opened its new $1 billion plant in Singapore on Tuesday (July 23). The 429,000 sq ft plant in Tuas Biomedical Park will produce the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) — the biologically active component of a drug — for Pfizer's cancer, pain, and antibiotic medicines. The new investment will create 250 new highly skilled jobs, said the company. Pfizer said the state-of-the-art facility, an extension of its 20-year-old site in Singapore, has passed all necessary final performance qualification checks and begun commercial manufacturing of products. The facility has also achieved a Green Mark gold certification, a Singapore accreditation for environmental sustainability, and will help Pfizer's goal to achieve the voluntary net-zero standard by 2040. Mike McDermott, chief global supply officer and executive vice-president of Pfizer, said the new plant will be one of the most highly automated among the company's more than 30 manufacturing sites, which are spread across six continents.

Another eatery in Singapore has raised eyebrows with their tongue-in-cheek advertisement.  A signboard, displayed outside the Vision Exchange building in Jurong East, advertised Chocobar's «wet» fried hokkien sotong prawn mee. What caught the public's eye, however, was the dish's Chinese name — loosely translated as «prawn noodles wet wet». A photo of the signboard has garnered over 650 comments on Xiaohongshu since it was posted last Sunday (July 21).  Several netizens found the wordplay on the dish's Chinese name too vulgar, with some attributing «wet wet» to the female anatomy. Others, however, said that the eatery just wanted to clearly state the hokkien mee they are serving to diners is not «dry». Speaking to Shin Min Daily News on Monday, a staff member at Chocobar said that the eatery's owner was behind the name of the dish. «Our hokkien mee has prawn stock, so the boss thought the pun would be interesting,» he said. Acknowledging the double entendre in the dish's name, the staff said that Chocobar has not received any complaint about the sign since it was displayed two weeks ago.
