At the unveiling of the event on Tuesday, the permanent secretary for Culture, Cecile Kalebi, gave details on the main activities to be held during the Creole month and said, «The theme has many vibrant colours, food brings people together. It transcends culture and barriers so we feel that everyone will appreciate this theme.» The theme is depicted in the official poster, which shows an elderly Seychellois lady showing the youth how to cook traditional food in a traditional kitchen with the child holding onto a lantern. The poster also displays different kinds of traditional Creole food. Describing the preparation for the annual celebration as intense, Kalebi said that there will be a packed programme with exhibitions, musical shows and bazaars. «This year the programme is not something that only the committee worked on, we also have the involvement of many private entities and individuals. We expect our 39th edition to go well, and hope the people will participate in the different activities we have organised,» she added. David Andre, the secretary general of the Seychelles National Institute for Culture, Heritage and the Arts (SNICHA) described the Festival as a major event in Seychelles that displays the Seychellois culture and identity. «No matter what event we organise we always make sure that at the back of it all, its essence valorises our culture, especially for the youth; so they understand it and also take it up in the future. We are confident that we are ready for the Festival. We expect that people will fully engage and participate,» he added. Kalebi confirmed that apart from activities being held in the capital Victoria, there will also be districts doing their activities, including Praslin and La Digue, the second and third most populated islands of Seychelles. Their programmes will be released at a later date. Andre and Kalebi also clarified that decorations for the festival will be unveiled on October 1.

'I felt like I was crying all the time': For those who are an only child, no one shares the load when mum and dad fall ill

On a Tuesday afternoon at a coffee shop in Ang Mo Kio, Mr Glenn Poh returns to his waiting mother with two drinks: one hot and one iced. She picks the iced lemon tea.  «All my life she never used to drink cold drinks but now, she always wants something iced. It's like she's a small kid again,» he says of his 74-year-old mother, Madam Tan Sow Meng, who has Alzheimer's disease. As the only son, Mr Poh took it upon himself to look after her, personally navigating the twists and turns of caring for an ailing parent.  «Whatever needs to be done needs to be done. It's because I was raised like this,» he says. Having seen how his mother cared for his late father after a stroke, he knew he wanted to do the same for her.  In Singapore, with its rapidly ageing population and cultural norms of filial piety, many adult children find themselves thrust into the role of caregivers.  Life can be put on hold when mum or dad falls ill, and those without siblings or other home help can find themselves shouldering the whole load.

East-West Line MRT disruptions: SMRT staff assists autistic child, commuter helps elderly woman

Train service disruptions along the East-West Line are now entering day four on Saturday (Sept 28). As engineers and technicians from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and rail operator SMRT work around the clock on repairs to restore full train service by Monday, staff members and fellow passengers have been helping one another out. In an interview with Lianhe Zaobao on Friday, a 42-year-old woman shared that her son, who has autism, usually travels between Bukit Batok and Bedok by himself to attend school. However, the 15-year-old encountered the service disruption on Wednesday evening and continued waiting at the platform despite the lack of trains. As those with autism have difficulties dealing with sudden changes, the housewife panicked as her son was unable to communicate with others to ask for help. Thankfully, a staff member at the MRT station noticed the teenager and contacted his father through details on a tag on his backpack.
