In the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections, the Sakoli constituency will witness a close contest between BJP's Avinash Anandrao Brahmankar and Congress's Nana Falgunrao Patole. This primarily rural constituency, with a mix of agricultural and tribal populations, has been a Congress stronghold, with Patole winning in 2019.

Lim started her part-time job as a swim coach as a university student for her monthly expenditures. Now, she works full time as a HR manager but continues her coaching job every weekend. Speaking to AsiaOne, the 24-year-old laments her busy schedule that often extends into 10-hour work days. Despite that, she has never thought of quitting her side hustle, which makes up about five per cent of her current pay, to get more rest and time for her personal life. «I use [income from coaching] as spending money so that I don’t have to touch my main salary.» As a young adult without any significant financial commitments, she gives a portion of her full-time salary to her parents as monthly allowance and puts a majority of the remaining balance into her savings. Side hustle culture among Gen Z Lim is just one of many young adults with side hustles to support their income. To better understand the saving and investment preferences of its readers, including young adults, AsiaOne conducted a survey which received 1,190 valid responses.

SINGAPORE – Two people were taken to National University Hospital after an accident near the Woodlands Checkpoint on Friday (Nov 22). The police said they were alerted to an accident involving three cars along the BKE towards the checkpoint at about 12.05am. A 36-year-old female driver and her passenger, an eight-year-old boy, were conscious when taken to the hospital by the Singapore Civil Defence Force. Police investigations are ongoing. A video of the scene posted on Facebook shows a red car and two white multi-purpose vehicles stationary on a two-lane road, with debris scattered around them. A boy is seen sitting on the side of the road next to the red car, with what looks like blood on the surrounding road surface. Motorcycles are seen manoeuvring between the damaged vehicles. An eyewitness, who gave his name only as Mr Shairul, said the accident happened on the viaduct leading to the checkpoint and that an off-duty medic was on site tending to those involved in the accident. Mr Shairul said the woman, whose leg was bleeding, was crying, while the boy told the medic that his neck and chest hurt.
