Several drivers got an unwanted 'paint job' on their vehicles when it suddenly started raining concrete. In a Facebook post on Thursday (May 23), user Nazrin Shah, who is one of the affected car owners, said the incident occurred at around 11.35am that day. He had left his car at an open car park at Block 959 Jurong West Street 91, near the construction site of Build-To-Order (BTO) project Nanyang Opal. The building works at Nanyang Opal are managed by Progressive Builders.

The Malaysian family of seven had joined a tour group on a 10-day UK trip and decided to extend their stay by five days. Little did they expect that they would end up getting injured on their return flight — the Singapore-bound SQ321, which suffered severe turbulence on May 21 and had to make an emergency landing in Bangkok.   Now, five of the family members are still warded at the Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital in the Thai capital. The other two were treated at a different hospital and have since been discharged.  Eva Khoo, a family member who was not on the flight and flew to Bangkok after the incident, shared updates about their condition in a Facebook post on Thursday (May 23). She said four of her family members were in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), including her aunt and her brother's father-in-law. In a second Facebook post, she revealed that her sister-in-law, who is two months pregnant, suffered spinal injuries and had to face the dilemma of saving herself or her baby. 

SINGAPORE — Train service was disrupted along a stretch of six Downtown Line stations for more than an hour in the morning on May 24, after a locomotive carrying out maintenance works caught fire. In a Facebook post, rail operator SBS Transit (SBST) said the tracks between Fort Canning station and Mattar station were closed from the start of service until 7.26am, when train service resumed along the stretch again. SBST had activated bus bridging services between Chinatown station and Bedok North station during the disruption, and regular bus services along that stretch were made free. The operator also ran a shuttle train service between MacPherson and Bedok, and urged passengers to take other MRT lines to get around. At about 7.40am, station staff at MacPherson station were seen directing passengers exiting the Circle Line away from staircases leading to the Downtown Line platform for trains towards Expo. They were directed upstairs to take the bus services, and a few passengers ran in that direction. Staff allowed commuters to head to the Downtown Line platform at about 7.50am, after which train services resumed.

She stayed on the aisle for the rest of the flight, unable to move, Davis recounted.

Seychelles is for the first time giving the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines to boys aged between 10 to 12 years old and the first batch of three boys from Plaisance Secondary School received the vaccines on Thursday. Since May 2014, the Ministry of Health introduced the HPV vaccine into its routine immunisation schedule in an effort to reduce girls' risk of developing HPV-related cancers by as much as 80 percent. When it was introduced in 2014, the HPV vaccine was exclusively available to girls and was a crucial step towards achieving the World Health Organisation's targets of vaccinating 90 percent of girls, screening 70 percent of women, and treating 90 percent of those with cervical disease, with the ultimate goal of eliminating cervical cancer by 2030. The vaccination programme is now expanding to include boys. «This is a very important day in our national health initiative. This significant step not only reflects our commitment to improve public health, but also aligns with global efforts to eliminate cervical cancer,» said Danny Louange, the chief executive of the Seychelles Health Care Agency.  According to the WHO, HPV infections are primarily transmitted by sexual contact and are highly transmissible. During one's life course, most sexually active men and women will acquire an HPV infection. Although most HPV infections are transient and benign, persistent genital infection with certain types can lead to warts and cancers of the cervix and among others. «HPV is related to the cause of nearly all cervical cancers and affects countless women. But is it also a serious health problem for men, which is why it is crucial to vaccinate everyone, including our boys,» said Louange. He is urging parents to use this opportunity to get their children vaccinated so that their chances of being affected by the disease can be reduced, while its spread can also be decreased. During the launching ceremony, the health authority explained that the boys' vaccination programme will now run concurrently with the girls' programme. This means that every child between 10 to12 years old will be vaccinated. The Health Care Agency expects to vaccinate around 800 boys from primary schools all over Seychelles. «When we introduced the programme in 2014, we wanted to do it for both genders, but with the financial costs, we had to agree to only vaccinate one group, before we could then move on to the boys when we had enough resources,» said Mary-Jane Henriette, the head of the Vaccination Programme. The Vaccination Programme is expected to begin in full soon, with schools working closely with the Health Care Agency to schedule their vaccination dates.
