They may live alone or have few family and friends but these seniors had a great time celebrating Chinese New Year last Friday (Jan 24).

The couple also organised a lucky draw for the seniors, giving out prizes such as abalone and fortune cookies. Excitement filled the air as everyone cheered when the winners' names were announced.  Koh also made sure that his guests did not leave empty-handed as he distributed red packets to them.  'I can make new friends' AsiaOne spoke with some seniors at the event, who shared their thoughts on loneliness as well as the challenges they're facing.  Ng Choon Phuan, who is single and living alone, told us such celebrations give him the opportunity to connect with new people.

Former WP MP Leon Perera relocates to US, unlikely to contest GE2025

SINGAPORE — Former Workers' Party (WP) MP Leon Perera on Jan 28 announced that he will be based in New York City for work, a move that signals he is unlikely to contest in the upcoming general election. In a post on LinkedIn, Perera said he had recently taken up a new role in his company as executive director for Yamada Consulting Group USA, the American office of the group. Speculation has been swirling since early 2024 that Perera had joined the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) after he was seen at several of the opposition party's events and posted about it on social media. PSP and Perera previously said he was assisting the party and was not a member. Still, murmurings on the ground continued, with some speculating that he could be fielded as a candidate in the election due by November 2025. Asked if he will be contesting in the coming general election, Perera declined to comment. «For now I have nothing to add to what I have posted,» he told The Straits Times. A PSP spokesman confirmed that Perera is still a volunteer with the party. With his move to New York City, he is all but certain to be sitting out the election.

Singaporean who claimed she was almost abducted in JB fined $300 for lying

A Singaporean woman was fined RM1,000 ($308) by the Johor Bahru Magistrate Court this morning (Jan 28) after she pleaded guilty to making a false police report. Amyra Laila Ho, who also goes by the name Venus, had previously claimed that she was almost abducted by a couple near KSL City Mall. In a now-deleted Instagram video, the 45-year-old detailed her experience and said that she had reported the matter to the authorities. However, JB police refuted her claims, stating that they had not received any report as of Jan 21. In a statement on Monday, Johor police chief M Kumar said that they then received such a report on Jan 22. The alleged incident was said to have occurred on Jan 10 at around 1pm. «The police investigation found that the attempted abduction did not occur as, based on CCTV footage and technical evidence, there was no movement detected at the scene,» Kumar said. The police chief also pointed out that the allegation had gone viral on several social media platforms, prompting some to question the safety of tourists in Johor.
