‘Which food stall are you running?’ Prominent Singaporeans highlight casual racism in video series
When author and entrepreneur Liyana Dhamirah was at a business networking event a few years back, a man she just met, even before accepting or looking at her business card, asked: "So which food stall are you running right now?" This account from a video interview posted on March 3, together with similar interviews including former Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) Viswa Sadasivan and lawyer Jeanette Chong-Aruldoss, highlights casual racism at the newly launched online portal Singapore News Network. Though racism is not new, people highlighting this uncomfortable experience online – with some posts turning viral – has become more common over the years. Some examples include landlords who discriminate along racial lines and a father's teachings to his daughter about race after comments on her darker skin colour .

‘Getting cancer has been the greatest lesson,’ says lung cancer survivor
When Shirley Adrain became a mother in her 40s, she adopted a healthier lifestyle. Aspiring to live to 100, she exercised at least five times a week, consumed a sugar-free, low-carb diet, and only occasionally drank wine. Recognised for her people development skills, she left her 20-year career in banking and founded a leadership coaching and diversity and inclusion consultancy, enabling her to have a better work-life balance. But, in August, 2020, a doctor’s devastating diagnosis threatened to derail Adrain’s best-laid plans. Thinking little of it at the time, she consulted with her doctor about a sore throat and pain between her ribs. Five days later, after many tests, Adrain, 51, was shocked to learn she had stage IV lung cancer – non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or adenocarcinoma, the most common type of the disease. Lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in Hong Kong, according to the city’s Department of Health, … [Read more...] about ‘Getting cancer has been the greatest lesson,’ says lung cancer survivor
‘100% handmade’: Ex-commando makes intricate miniatures that can pass off as the real deal
They say you can take a man out of the army, but you can't take the army out of a man. Former commando Wilfred Cheah creates intricate three-dimensional miniatures so detailed that some Facebook followers have been fooled, thinking it is the real thing. His artwork includes the demolished National Theatre, his nostalgic two-room HDB rental home and his father-in-law's provision shop, which Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong highlighted on social media. "If the thing doesn't pass (my standards), I will throw away and re-do," the 55-year-old miniature artist said, crediting the high standards and discipline to his army days. "When you focus on something," his voice deepened, "you give a deadline to complete and then achieve it". He has led two battalions as a regimental sergeant major. When you enter Wilfred's home, one of the first things you'd notice – besides his Peranakan-inspired home with ornate tiles – is a miniature version of himself as a commando. With the trademark red … [Read more...] about ‘100% handmade’: Ex-commando makes intricate miniatures that can pass off as the real deal
