One man has taken to social media to complain about staff of a beauty shop «disturbing the peace» in Nex with their touting and hard selling tactics. In a Facebook post on the Complaint Singapore group on Friday (Oct 11), Derrick Law said that his 68-year-old mother was pressured by The Mineral Boutique to buy a small bottle of «eye-tightening liquid». Law also accused the store manager of pestering his non-English-speaking mother to reveal her credit card details. «Moreover, Mineral Boutique's products are astronomically expensive and unjustifiable,» he said. «[How] can a 10ml bottle of eye-tightening liquid cost $1,200? »In my experience, an alternative brand costs only less than $150.« The man also pointed out that the shop had a history of »exerting predatory pressure selling and unethical sale tactics on the elderly shoppers". He shared screenshots of complaints from Google Reviews, with more than a dozen customers taking offence with The Mineral Boutique's sale tactics in their Nex and Jewel Changi Airport outlets.

Several residents in Yio Chu Kang are crying fowl over the authorities removing wild chickens in their neighborhood. Others, who are annoyed by the birds crowing at ungodly hours, are happy to see them go. A Facebook video on the Singapore Wildlife Sightings group showed contractors from the National Parks Board (NParks) setting traps at a park along Cactus Road. Kan Shik Kiong, who posted the clip on Thursday (Oct 9), said that the authorities were acting on residents' complaints. The video has since garnered over 300 comments and 37,000 views. Following that, a Shin Min Daily News reporter saw three chickens roaming around the park; however, there were no traps. Several residents living in the vicinity told the Chinese evening daily that the birds are harmless. Tang, 72, the vice-chairman of a neighbourhood committee, said: «These chickens come out at around 7am every day, and fly up to the trees to roost at night. »They are not like monkeys that will enter residential areas, so we don't think it's right to catch them."

LGBTI Sey is a non-governmental organisation set up in 2015 regrouping the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex persons in the country. It advocates for equal human rights, irrespective of sexual orientation or gender identity and its current strategy is to increase visibility and awareness on LGBTI issues. The organisation currently has around 200 members. SNA spoke to its chairperson Rebecca Julienne, who assumed the position in 2022, on the evolution of the association and the challenges it faces.⁠    SNA: What would you say are the main challenges you’ve faced since you took this position in 2022? RJ: I think my biggest challenge has been the enormity of the role itself. Having so many people of different walks of life depending on you to have their best interests at heart and to deliver on those interests has been by far the most challenging thing but also the most rewarding.    SNA:⁠ ⁠The LGBTI Sey Association currently has around 200 members, would you say you receive enough support from the members of the association? Are they engaged enough? RJ: I would say that the community is of course much larger and that we are constantly on the lookout for innovative ideas for our events from new and engaging individuals, some of whom have already approached me directly to either offer financial or technical support. I would be much happier with more engagement, however.    SNA: ⁠What about the LGBTI community, who are not members, are they engaged with the association? What kind of activities does LGBTI Sey do to promote engagement?  RJ: The activities we host are always open to the public. I stand by the Association being a human rights group and so always support our events as welcoming spaces for members, non-members and human rights activists alike. There have been interactive workshops in the past and our social media accounts are still promoting events. Of course, due to last year’s registration issue, we took a hiatus to reformat our administrative framework and re-strategise to best suit the community’s current needs.    SNA: What is next for the Association? RJ: Now, we are recruiting. I am happy to say that the Association’s constitution is being amended to provide greater spaces for outside ideas to be incorporated into our calendar of events. We are rebranding to make sure that younger community members have a greater say on how the Association can better meet their needs.   SNA: The recent hate speech amendment bill was adopted by the National Assembly, for the Penal Code to include hate as an aggravating factor in offences based on a victim’s actual or perceived protected characteristics. What are your opinions on this?  RJ: As I said, I consider the Association’s work as a branch of human rights activism. Seychelles has been a leader in this for as long as I can remember. We are a people who pride ourselves on being a melting pot. I think this hate speech amendment is a definite move in the right direction towards a country we can all proudly say supports human dignity and fights for it to be upheld.   SNA: ⁠Do members of the LGBTI community in Seychelles face a lot of stigmas? RJ: Stigma has always existed in any country. Whether a lot or a little, it is still a stigma and the community definitely faces it. We do however, have immense support and this gives me hope that within my lifetime, Seychelles will hold itself accountable to all its people and give them all the same liberties to be themselves. We are only as strong as our diversity.   SNA: ⁠What more does the LGBTI community expect in Seychelles? RJ: There is no such thing as more. The country is only as strong as its most vulnerable people. All Seychellois are owed the right to live safely and thrive in their own country and to that end contribute to their country to the best of their ability. No one can be their best and do their best in an environment that stifles their authenticity.   SNA: ⁠Would gay marriage and adoption be subjects that the LGBTI Sey community have discussed before? Are these causes that the Association, and the community expect to support in the future? RJ: This has always been a subject of discourse and one I strongly believe should have ended a long time ago. Two consenting adults who love each other and want to show that love through marriage, absolutely, the Association supports it. And what child does not thrive in a home where their caregivers do not love each other. There are far too many children without loving homes in the world.   SNA: What is your opinion about the current state of affairs in Seychelles for how the LGBTI community is treated? RJ: We could do better. We should do better. We must be better.  

The blackened and charred state of his $4 rojak has gotten Stomp contributor Chong all fired up. Chong said he visited a rojak and popiah stall at Chomp Chomp Food Centre on Oct 10, at around 5.45pm. Chong recounted: «The stall's you tiao (fried doughsticks) and tau pok (fried beancurd puffs) were burnt jet-black. Yet instead of discarding them, the staff served such cancer-causing food to unsuspecting customers. »I was shocked when I saw my food. It's really unethical, despicable and heartless for them to do this to their customers.« Chong said he did not provide feedback to the stall since it was a takeaway order. He added: »Needless to say, this is my first and last time buying from them. «I'm posting this to warn others about this stall. It's a clear-cut example of spoiling one's reputation just in order to save a few cents at the expense of others' health.» Chong might want to hold back on his strong opinions, however. According to WebMD, the evidence that eating overcooked or burnt food causes cancer in humans is inconclusive and not compelling.

SINGAPORE - An accident and emergency (A&E) doctor who saves lives at work found himself in need of saving when he collapsed from cardiac arrest during a tennis game. Fortunately, Dr Christopher Wong, 56, a senior consultant at Woodlands Health, was playing with three A&E physician colleagues who dropped their rackets to save him. They were Dr Sohil Pothiawala, 47, and Associate Professor Amila Punyadasa, 52, both senior consultants at Woodlands Health, and Adjunct Associate Professor Kenneth Heng, 54, a senior consultant at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH). The four doctors, friends for more than 20 years, have been playing tennis almost weekly since 2020. The incident happened on May 19 at Prof Heng's condominium in Bukit Timah. It was his day off, while the three doctors from Woodlands Health were scheduled for the evening and night shifts. The game started at 7am. After 45 minutes, Dr Wong, who is married with two daughters aged 26 and 24, felt light-headed but thought it was from the heat. At 8.30am, however, he felt dizzy again and told his friends: «I can't go on.»
