      • "description": "The Fighting Spiders alum also shares his thrifting tips for newbies and how to pack for Sydney’s finicky weather.",
      • "content": "Actor, crocheter and creator Edwin Goh may have moved back to Singapore from Sydney with his fiancee, actress Rachel Wan , but memories of his time there are still fresh in his mind. What did Goh love most about the Australian city? “I love how people are carefree and more laidback. I love the amount of accessible nature, from mountainous hikes and coastal walks to preserved aquatic areas free to snorkel in with a huge range of biodiversity.” Even the changing of seasons sparks joy. “The transition of seasons is extremely magical, seeing leaves starting to grow, flowers blooming, and then the same leaves turning red and falling. It has allowed me to shift internally as I move along the year,” Goh explained. PACKING FOR SYDNEY Sydney is a popular Australian destination for Singaporeans, but it's also known for its finicky climate, which can lead to significant temperature and weather changes within a day. To ensure that you’re not caught off guard when you’re out sightseeing, Goh advised bringing along a light outwear. “As the winds can be quite overwhelming compared to Singapore, any knit with merino wool is great as it is anti-microbial, which allows you to wear it multiple days without odour. It’s also great if you’re aiming to pack light.” A post shared by Hi my name is Edwin (@edwininja) Winter aside, Goh shared that he usually dressed in a tank top as an innerwear with one of his crochet pieces layered on top. “Usually that does the job for spring, summer and autumn.” And as the nights can feel chilly for Singaporeans who aren’t adapted to the cold, he advised bringing an extra layer especially if you’re staying out till late to help you stay nice and warm. Goh also shared that after moving to Sydney, he became a bit more diligent with his grooming routine. “The climate is a lot drier, so I’ve had to amp up my hydration. These days, I do toner, moisturiser and a night cream – when I’m not lazy, in my routine. But that’s not all. Goh had to step up his sun protection too. “The UV is no joke – even on cloudy days, it’s strong. Sunscreen is a daily essential now, even in winter,” he added. Consider yourself warned for your next trip. But if you’re looking to try an Australian-made sunscreen, Goh recommended picking up one from Cancer Council. The brand offers a wide range of sunscreens for daily use, sporting activities and even lip balms – all with SPF50+. GOING THRIFTING IN SYDNEY Something that many might not realise is that Sydney has a huge thrifting culture as well. In fact, Goh shared that it’s something he picked up during his time in the city. “Rachel and I both love a good thrift run. Hunting for pre-loved items that suit me has become a fun thing and changed my perspective on wearing ‘used items’.” A post shared by Hi my name is Edwin (@edwininja) Items you can look for include oversized blazers, classic denim, utility jackets and vintage knits. “You’ll also see a lot of cool 90s sportswear (think Adidas or Nike windbreakers) and accessories like leather belts, boots and even crochet pieces – which always excites me,” said Goh. A post shared by vinniesshopsnsw (@vinniesshopsnsw) If you’re keen to do a little thrifting while on holiday in Sydney, Goh shared that the biggest stores that offer budget-friendly finds are Salvos (run by the Salvation Army), Savers and Vinnies. A post shared by SWOP (@_swop) But his personal go-tos were SWOP for its well curated selection of pre-loved designer clothes, shoes and bags, Uturn for a wide array of outfits from classics to trendy with nine outlets in Sydney, and the Red Cross stores for its mix of affordable and high-end pieces. And if it’s your first time thrifting, Goh offered these tips: SEEING SYDNEY THROUGH EDWIN’S EYES Regardless if you’re a first-timer or repeat visitor to Sydney, Goh’s must-do and must-see recommendation would be taking the ferry to Circular Quay during sunset. “You’ll get the most beautiful view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House.” And when it comes to food, Goh’s Asian roots remain front and centre. A post shared by Ice Kirin Bar - Asian-inspired/Tea gelato specialist (@icekirinbar_aus) In fact, the actor’s top picks include Ice Kirin Bar , an Asian-inspired and tea-infused gelato ice cream place (“Get the black sesame ice cream paired with a crispy pineapple bun!”), and Gimme One Fried Skewer , a Chinese restaurant that specialises in mala skewers. A post shared by La Favola Iᴛᴀʟɪᴀɴ Rᴇsᴛᴀᴜʀᴀɴᴛ (@favola.sydney) If you’re looking for something different, Goh suggests going for a meal at Ruth Tate Sydney . Every Friday and Saturday evening, this fashion store turns into an extended dining space for Italian restaurant, La Favola (known for its freshly made pasta). Clothes store by day, Italian restaurant by night. This concept began in 2024 when fashion designer and founder, Ruth Tate, decided to collab with her next-door neighbour and La Favola owner, Fabio Stefanelli, to combat rising costs. “It creates for an interesting atmosphere to dine in,” shared Goh. What makes it even more fun is checking out the clothes on display and revisiting the store the next morning to shop. And of course, no visit to Sydney would be complete without indulging in a cup of perfectly brewed coffee. A post shared by The Grounds Coffee Factory (@thegroundscoffeefactory) For coffee enthusiasts who want to discover more about Sydney’s renowned coffee culture, pay a visit to The Grounds Coffee Factory for its exciting coffee experiences, suggested Goh. Housed in a former railway workers’ cafeteria, it features a coffee roastery and cafe in the same space. An undeniably aesthetic spot for your socials with touches of industrial elements combined with whimsical Willy Wonka-esque vibes. Besides enjoying a cuppa or two, you can even go on an insider tour to deep dive into the art and science of coffee.",

      • "description": "Haryani Othman has worn many hats – comedian, actress, TV producer, and paralegal – but it’s her love for making people happy that led her to start Mak Besar, her events and marketing company. She tells CNA Women of her journey and why every Mak Besar event feels special.",
      • "content": "If you love bazaars and find yourself drawn to the bright lights and row upon row of stalls selling everything from food to fashion, with the occasional live performance or celebrity appearance thrown in, you’ve likely come across a Mak Besar event. Since its debut in 2019, the events and marketing company has organised more than 15 large-scale consumer events, each featuring 100 to more than 200 retail, food and entertainment vendors, and attracting around 65,000 visitors per set-up. Singaporeans would have been to a Mak Besar bazaar at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, Singapore EXPO, and the now-defunct Turf City, as well as at open spaces in Tampines and Lakeside. The company’s name is a nod to the Malay term for a beloved “big aunt” or “big mama”, and also happens to be the nickname given to its founder and managing director, Haryani Othman. The 46-year-old’s background is as colourful as her bazaars. She’s worn many hats – legal executive, television producer, comedian and now, bazaar boss – but at her core, she sees herself as “a member of the community” who cares deeply about the people she works with, especially her Mak Besar vendors and staff. “I love seeing others happy,” Haryani told CNA Women. “Mak Besar allows me to create happy spaces where everyone can come together and have a great time.” BRINGING JOY TO OTHERS After graduating with a communications degree in 2003, Haryani carved out a name for herself in the local entertainment scene. She got her start in 2006 in Gemilang, a comedy variety show hosted by Najip Ali on Suria, the local Malay broadcast station. That led to acting opportunities, and before long, she became a familiar and versatile face on Malay-language television. Off-camera, Haryani wrote and produced over 20 television programmes, including collaborations with comedian Kumar. In 2011 and 2015, she won awards for her writing at Pesta Perdana, a local awards show honouring talents in the Malay television industry. “I loved working on them all,” she said. “I just really liked the idea of being a part of something that gave viewers what they were looking for when they were watching their favourite drama.\" Even while she was working in television production, Haryani was also dabbling in other fields, such as law. Having earned a law diploma in polytechnic before her communications degree, Haryani worked on ad-hoc legal projects in the early 2010s and even did business development for a law firm in 2018. Around the mid-2010s, she began dipping her toes into event management. “I didn’t really think running consumer shows was a sustainable career at that time. I had lots of friends who were bazaar vendors and organisers, so I just wanted to try it out and have fun along the way,” she said. Haryani started out doing marketing, but as it turned out, events management was the sum of everything she loved: Connecting with people, offering the opportunity for them to gather and creating platforms for business owners and collaborators. It became a way for her to work with her friends, support home-based businesses and small vendors in the Malay community, and offer Singaporeans something they could enjoy and look forward to. TAKING A RISK AND STARTING MAK BESAR By 2017, Haryani was channelling most of her energy into legal work and freelance events management. However, she had a falling out with an events company while working on a large project, and that marked a turning point for her. She realised that while she loved the industry, she sometimes found dealing with multiple stakeholders and managing expectations emotionally exhausting. “It was a dark period in my life. I still loved doing what I did, but I also began to wonder if I should continue events management, or if I should just go back to what had always worked for me – law and media,” she reflected. By that time, Haryani and her close friends – married couple Firdaus “Fid” Faisal and Lina Liyana Samsi – had already earned a small reputation in the events scene. The three were known to be reliable freelancers and were trusted to deliver. “We didn’t have a name then, but people in the space knew who we were,” said Haryani. “They were telling us not to give up, to keep going, some even encouraged us to start our own events company.” The encouragement struck her, but starting a business was no small decision, and Haryani was all too aware of the financial risks. “I may not have kids, but I was a wife and I was supporting my parents alongside my sisters,” she said. “Fid and Lina had five children to feed. It wasn’t just my risk to take – it would affect all of us.” What solidified her resolve to take the leap was the support of people around her. Her parents and husband told her they were behind her decision to start an events business. People she had worked with on previous events even offered to work for free at her first few events, to help her get things off the ground. “I felt so touched that they’d really do that for me – and they kept their word, they really did volunteer their time and energy for us for free,” Haryani said. In 2018, Haryani decided to take the plunge and roped in Fid and Lina – the latter suggested calling the company Mak Besar. It felt right – people trusted Mak Besar because they trusted Haryani’s leadership, vision and heart. The company launched its first event a year later, Grand Bite at Grandstand, a food event at the now-defunct Turf City. For Haryani, the worries about costs, logistics and operations melted away as the crowds showed up and the vendors thrived. “The people who worked for me for free – we got to pay all of them from what we earned, and more,” she beamed. TRUSTING AND LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY Haryani knew she was building something bigger than herself – a business that supported not just her livelihood, but the many vendors and small businesses that depended on their events to thrive. “The Malay community is full of entrepreneurs,” she said. “Creative women selling their homemade products. Fathers who want more time with their children start businesses to involve them. Youths with bold ideas want to try it with their friends. I wanted to give all of them a platform.” But those early years were exhausting, Haryani said, and she juggled numerous tasks herself. “I did the work of 10 people – marketing, liaising with celebrities, artistes, and their managers, live shows, accounting,” she said. “Fid and Lina supported me, of course, but I did so much just to make sure the consumer show was a success – not just for me and my team, but for the vendors who had put their faith in us.” At the Grandstand Bazaar that year, there were about 100 food and retail vendors, and about 50,000 people came. Then the pandemic hit in early 2020, and annual Ramadan bazaars at Geylang Serai , Kampong Gelam and other heartland spots were cancelled. Haryani worried about her vendors. “It felt like people were counting on us to help them make up the income they lost,” she said. “So we went live on TikTok and Instagram, and we started an online e-commerce platform called Mak Besar Garage.” Vendors paid the company a small fee to be featured, and for Haryani to livestream herself trying out their products. “The team rented a studio and I was on screen for 12 hours a day, selling everything from carpets and clothes to kueh, accessories, food, and even delivery services, from home-based businesses. “I ate so much and tried on so many outfits live – it was exhausting! But we had hundreds of thousands of viewers, and the vendors were happy. They stopped losing money. They started seeing gains.” Musicians and dancers also went live on social media to entertain viewers watching from their homes. “I read everyone’s comments, so seeing people laughing in the comments and sending in all their sweet and supportive messages – that’s what makes all the work worth it,” she said. Now, six years in, Haryani finally has room to breathe. She currently leads Mak Besar’s marketing arm, which has expanded to offer marketing services beyond events, while Lina and Fid manage sales, admin, operations and logistics. What started as a three-person hustle is now a team of about 10 full-time staff and 20 part-timers. This year, Mak Besar organised the Grand Market at Suntec in January and February, followed by the Ramadan Bazaar at Our Tampines Hub in March. Events are already lined up until November, and each edition has a unique theme. For instance, the upcoming bazaar in May is themed FUNWORLD, targeting families with young children and full of kids-centric activities like bouncy castles and youth performances. “Some people may think Mak Besar is just another bazaar – the same old thing every other month,” she said. “But to me, it’s always changing because I’m always listening and observing. I want Mak Besar to reflect what the community wants at any given time.” CNA Women is a section on CNA Lifestyle that seeks to inform, empower and inspire the modern woman.

      • "content": "香港獨立樂隊「意色樓」(An Id Signal)創立自2006年,時至今日,已經在香港扎根了差不多二十年時間。香港作為一個多變的城市,一件事可以持續運作二十年之久而不至幻滅,忽然就變得很具重量。 意色樓分別在2006年和2012年發佈《相識但陌生》及《公開跟秘密之間》兩張大碟,刻劃人際忐忑、情慾陰影,是香港獨立音樂圈一道獨特的風景。直到2025年,沉寂一段日子的樂隊發佈了第三張大碟《悲喜交集的路綫》。第一首公開的單曲〈恍然嚮往的瞬間〉以一句「好耐無見/你過得好嘛」(好久沒見/你過得好嗎)開始,經歷社會運動和疫情,樂隊以一聲問候,展開了歌者和聽眾之間更緊密連繫的忐忑與陰影。 疫情以降,香港天翻地覆,大型集會消散倒使音樂聚會成為了人們的精神出口。2024年12月,意色樓在復辦的香港大型國際音樂節Clockenflap擔任其中一隊最後出場的表演單位。位處中環海濱的舞台,遠處立法會大樓那些慘白燈光,主音阿禮在台上說:「珍惜我哋嘅語言。冇必要嘅話,唔好再分開。」(珍惜我們的語言。沒必要的話,不要再分開) 「我覺得真實的情況不只是憤怒和悲傷,還有一些充滿活力、浪漫的畫面和行動出現⋯⋯現在(寫歌)很直接,我想連結一些在乎同一種記憶的人。」 2025年4月,意色樓在九龍區新蒲崗一個新近開業的表演場地舉辦新專輯發佈派對。要說的都在音樂說了,但記得阿禮在尾聲對觀眾說,「你們都是意色樓」。愈是欲言又止的香港,愈是接近情慾的發生,只是這一次意色的流動走上悲喜交集的路綫,更多的人被捲進漆黑的海洋,更多人分享了一個晚上。 二十年之間 我不知道 幾時再會 焚燒的路障 苦澀裡卻帶 來安慰 吶喊 失笑 如果 全黑色就憑動靜記得你 ──意色樓,〈悲喜交集的路綫〉 但意色樓一貫行事低調,到網上搜索他們的資料,可以找到的東西都非常有限。他們的官方Instagram還要到2021年才出現,顯然跟這個講求快速變化的社會之間有一種不同的步調和性格。按他們的說法,或者是因為香港的獨立音樂一直處於一個不是很多人看到的位置上,經營著自己的圈子和社群。 「我們不是九十年代出現,是二千年代出現,我覺得樂隊圈子沒有太受九七前後、什麼大運動影響,一直都是流連在大學演出以及工廠大廈的live house。可能到疫情時才會有一個很大的不同。」阿禮說。 當然這些年間也經歷很多變化。譬如由Myspace年代到音樂串流平台,又譬如香港的活化工廈政策如何影響獨立音樂的生存空間,音樂表演場地Hidden Agenda由2009年承租意色樓等樂隊在觀塘工業區的練習室開始,因為條例問題一直結業又重開,更名This Town Needs後終於在疫情期間結束營運。這些變化,恰好構成一個疫情前的獨立音樂場景。 「有live house聚會的感覺就很社區,即是獨立音樂的社區,很有那種氣氛。表演前後,樓下會坐滿人聊天,我們經歷過香港這個時代。」 「我們早過Hidden Agenda出現,後來看著它不再在工廠區。我覺得現在比以前分散,以前可能有一個很實在的地方,可以見到大家,在那裡演出為主。」阿禮補充,「所以有live house聚會的感覺就很社區,即是獨立音樂的社區,很有那種氣氛。表演前後,樓下會坐滿人聊天,我們經歷過香港這個時代。」 要說低調,意色樓其實一直都在醞釀,腳步放慢,聚了又散。樂隊結他手浩南說,第三張專輯裡有些歌其實緊接2012年第二張專輯就開始創作,但他們玩得比較隨意:「那是三個人玩的年代,隨意像哪裡有表演、哪裡有街上遊擊就會去。創作方法一直是有些東西彈出來好聽,就拿出來跟大家分享,類似這種形式去創作音樂,維持了一段長時間。」 阿禮形容有段時間成員在演出才會見面,學習如何free jam,不計較未來如何,只做好當下:「學到的就是不要強求和享受當下,接受永遠都身處一個階段,很多事情都沒有終點。要自然又要認真,一直學習平衡,或者因為有這些矛盾我們才可以玩到現在。」 樂隊是一種生活 破爛結局 都不要結束 聚又散 聚又散 聚又散 聚又散 卻步難行 腳步放慢 聚了又散 ──意色樓,〈剎那快慰〉 對於樂隊成員來說,從第二張專輯到第三張專輯之間所謂「闊別多年」,其實從來都是局外人的看法。在他們來說,不過就是過生活。 樂隊貝斯手嘉樂記得,曾經有人講過組樂隊不需要關係的存在,它不過是音樂:「我很糾結這句說話。我覺得沒有關係的樂隊不就是session?不就是演唱會樂手?那就變成做功課一樣去做這件事。但這十多年就不是做功課。當然它有功課的性質,但絕對不是十年都在做功課,它就是生活而已。」 可以說,第三張專輯就是在這樣一種自然的狀態下生成的作品,當然也蘊含著所有經歷的過程和變化,某種生活其中的質感。「這也托賴樂隊的氛圍令到這件事可以自然發生,當中的關係令到它可以自然發生。因為很多樂隊都做不到。」嘉樂說。 對於浩南來說,意色樓的創作方式,源於一種純粹的關係:「因為不是在玩流行音樂,不是要寫一首歌寫歌詞旋律編曲等等,真的不是那回事,而是純粹覺得這段好聽然後拿出來,看看可以怎樣玩。意色樓這個團體很有不知道往後會怎樣的一個土壤,不是像平時那樣做,不是這個音正不正確,純粹是一個關係。真的可以彈結他彈一些音節出來,他又不知道我在彈什麼,直接唱進去,是一個比較有趣的關係,另一種玩音樂的方法。」 「(我們)坦白說有時很疏遠,有時會在不同世界;走在一起時,衝突一定有,不同一定有,但這些不同是拿來交換,不是拿來比較。」 創作上,歌詞往往是最後參與的部分,阿禮說經過這些年的合作,感受到樂隊成員間依然充滿熱情和想像:「或者我們都在詮釋成員的關係,好像浩南說我們玩的不是傳統的音樂,可能我們在關係上也不是傳統,坦白說有時很疏遠,有時會在不同世界,但走在一起時,衝突一定有,不同一定有,但這些不同是拿來交換,不是拿來比較。我覺得這個關係就是成員關係,基礎是友誼。」 「我現在很在乎演出後一起抽煙,一年可能只有幾次。我覺得就是這個關係。回到剛才那句,沒有關係也可以玩音樂,都可以拿一些東西出來jam,可能一開始可以,但如果沒有音樂以外的連結就很難繼續。」嘉樂說。 疫情、浪漫、音樂演出 好耐無見 你過得好嘛 温度忽冷忽熱 又不捨得 制止 我已盡力省略客套說話 太過直接 又不是你的風格 喺腦海偷渡並且遇溺係思想裡面邊方面嘅缺陷 每次以為最後一次都仲有下一次 咁係咪值得去等吖 ──意色樓,〈恍然嚮往的瞬間〉 新專輯裡第一首公開的單曲,是2021年發佈的〈恍然嚮往的瞬間〉。歌詞第一句很直接說「好耐無見/你過得好嘛」,有人形容歌者在歌裡展示自己的不確定和脆弱。 阿禮說,這首歌是他在2020年7月1日寫下來的:「全世界都知道香港這一天是上街的,但COVID後所有事情都沒有了。我記得這首歌就是那天在家裡寫的,寫這種我沒有什麼可以做,在這種情緒裡寫這一首歌。」那段時間,社會氣氛低沉,疫情和變遷把所有人困在一個不安感裡,但他想寫的又不只得憤怒、悲傷和哀悼,「我覺得真實的情況不只是憤怒和悲傷,還有一些充滿活力、浪漫的畫面和行動出現⋯⋯」 這個創作的過程,或者某程度上象徵了意色樓在音樂上的轉變。「寫〈恍然〉時從我自己的情緒出發,嘗試寫一首歌安慰自己,玩音樂本身是這樣,但去到這首歌那個感覺就更大,因為對象不同了。以前可能寫給自己喜歡的女生,或者記下一件我們珍惜的事,但現在很直接,我想連結一些在乎同一種記憶的人。」 這種轉變也體現在新專輯裡另一首歌〈雨跳傘〉上。這首歌在2012年第二張專輯已經出現,這次翻錄,恰好是樂隊隨著時日變幻,或人隨之而長大所誘生的不同。「當時我寫的可能是人跟人之間的關係,但慢慢十多年後,面對很多長大的事情,覺得當中的歌詞開始在我心入面變成跟地方之間的關係。可能大家都有這個傾向?不只是在個人情感出發,自己都多了接收社會氛圍的影響,再轉化出來。」 「那時好像要帶著一萬元出來看演出,因不戴口罩又五千,非法聚集又五千,大家都是拿膽量出來看,互相有種尊敬。那段時間玩給一些新的聽眾,好像整體的氣氛一樣,是不開心裡的開心。」 說回疫情期間所經歷的轉變,隨著防疫政策收緊,表演場地一一鎖上大門,那幾年,大型音樂節Clockenflap無法舉辦,小本經營的This Town Needs難以應付租金結束營業。僅餘的選擇就只剩當時不作公開宣傳、非常地下的演出,阿禮形容好像變回到新的樂隊,在很小的群眾裡玩音樂: 「那時好像要帶著一萬元出來看演出,因為不戴口罩又五千,非法聚集又五千,大家都是拿膽量出來看,互相有種尊敬。那段時間玩給一些新的聽眾,發生的連結我都覺得很深刻,但就好像整體的氣氛一樣,是不開心裡的開心。」 悲喜交集的路綫 雨跳過畫面沖淡 雨跳過雨傘 雨跳過畫面沖淡 雨跳過水窪 雨跳過畫面沖淡 雨傘徐徐撐開 要化作幾朵再幾朵再幾朵水花 要化作幾朵再幾朵再幾多 要化作幾朵再幾朵再幾多水花 ──意色樓,〈雨跳傘〉 不開心裡的開心,《悲喜交集的路綫》,似乎就是樂隊意色樓從獨立音樂的地下扎根,與時局幻變纏綿所交織而成的集體情感匯聚,藉由音樂和現場演出一下子釋放出來。香港的故事很難說,但終究有人在說。 阿禮提到,如果有留意本地音樂生態,會知道Clockenflap這種大型音樂節過往不是意色樓等樂隊會出現的場景。事局變幻,隨著大型集會消散,能夠讓不同階層、不同圈子的人走在一起,這些音樂節就顯得重要。「可能音樂的活動,my little airport就很有一個大型聚會的感覺。當自己演出時,都想新的聽眾繼續留意這些獨立樂隊,看看他們往後會不會去獨立樂隊流連的地方,希望做到這件事。雖然這些空間愈來愈少。」 更重要的是,《悲喜交集的路綫》這張新專輯,他抱持一種希望讓更多人聽見的心願:「當我寫下這些感受時,我已經不再想要寫給主流還是地下的人聽,我是寫給一些跟我有同一個記憶的人聽,大家都在這裡發生過一些事,我想跟這些人連結,沒再想主流還是indie。」香港的版塊在變裂,在重組,從前有過衝突的人,現在也藉由創傷互相看見,「舉個例子,可能從前很多人會罵泛民,『你們都是為了資源為了選舉』,但去到一個時候,他們跟其他手足有分別嗎,他們都在坐牢。整個版塊都不同了,大家都混合了的時候,大家受的傷都一樣。」 「某程度上,我覺得都是保持一種純粹,根本就是我們生活的一部分,不是興趣。所以我會說十多年其實是一件很自然的事。」 新專輯《悲喜交集的路綫》經由新成立的獨立廠牌「明日未知」(UN.TOMORROW)發行。2024年3月他們舉辦了一場叫「集合#1」的演出,十組不同音樂傾向的單位共同參與,仿效上世紀八、九十年代香港獨立樂手自主出版的《集感》卡帶合輯,讓不同的音樂走在一起。當改變無可避免,悲喜交集中,也有走在一起的路綫。 樂隊鼓手阿傑回想起Clockenflap當晚演出,最大感受是台下熟悉的面孔,也有新加入的聽眾,而對意色樓來說,不過是一種玩音樂的純粹,其中匯聚了所有人的生活:「我覺得有趣的是這隊band其實真的很生活,我愈來愈覺得變是應該的,我不可能跟十九歲時一樣,但一定有一些基礎在裡面,這隊band就是這樣。我們為了什麼走上去?我們也不知道,不是因為我們眼見的那個結果,可能玩完後已經超越了那個感受。看見舊面孔?新面孔?可能原因就是這樣,表演完後我才有這個感受。」 「某程度上,我覺得都是保持一種純粹,根本就是我們生活的一部分,不是興趣。所以我會說十多年其實是一件很自然的事。」阿傑續說,「那種純粹,個人一點是我們幾個人都在,就像吃飯一樣。等於演出後去喝酒才是重點。可能就是這麼簡單,這麼純粹。疫情後很多事好像無關緊要,但又變得很有意義,很多有意義的事又可以變得無關緊要。」 對於嘉樂來說,印象最深是阿禮在台上的那句,冇必要嘅話,唔好再分開:「就是簡單一句,代表了很多事情,不只是關於什麼生態,什麼音樂。」 我變成石頭 徘徊又喊又笑之間 又喊又笑之間 一塊玻璃之隔 去留都不是選擇 一樣踏入 悲喜交集的路綫 悲喜交集的路綫 ──意色樓,〈悲喜交集的路綫〉 本刊載內容版權為端傳媒或相關單位所有,未經 端傳媒編輯部 授權,請勿轉載或複製,否則即為侵權。 評論須知

      • "description": "SYDNEY, May 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Since first conducting research on consumer attitudes about travelling more sustainably in 2016, Booking.com has surveyed nearly 230,000 travellers in 35 markets. Today, Booking.com released the 10th edition of its annual research exploring consumer attitudes and intentions concerning the social and ecological impact of travel: Booking.com's new research takes a community-centric lens. Asking respondents not just how they travel but also how they experience inbound visitors where they live, this approach sheds light on the benefits and challenges of tourism from their perspective as both travellers and locals. For the first time, more than half of Australian travellers (51%) are now conscious of tourism's impact on local communities, as well as the environment. In 2016, less than half (40%) of Aussie travellers believed they travelled sustainably. By 2025, almost all travellers (91%) said they want to make more sustainable travel choices. While 62% of Australian travellers feel that tourism has a positive impact overall where they live, they also highlight challenges including traffic, littering, overcrowding and a rising cost of living. Australians are increasingly committed to supporting the economies of the destinations they visit, with 77% wanting the money they spend to go back to the local community, and 73% wanting to leave places better than when they arrived. \"To ensure that destinations can continue to be enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike, tourism, infrastructure and innovation need to keep pace with travellers' good intent,\" says Todd Lacey, Regional Manager, Oceania at Booking.com. \"We ultimately want to make it easier for travellers to connect with a more diverse range of local communities across Australia, from far-flung regions to Indigenous tourism operators so we help spread the positive benefits of tourism more broadly.\" To download Booking.com's full 2025 research, visit HERE. About Booking.com: Part of Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), Booking.com's mission is to make it easier for everyone to experience the world. By investing in the technology that helps take the friction out of travel, Booking.com's marketplace seamlessly connects millions of travelers with memorable experiences every day.

      • "description": "From the world’s thinnest tourbillon with a price tag of over S$1.1m to the most complex wristwatch ever made with 41 complications, these horological marvels prove that watchmaking’s future lies in bold engineering and thinking out of the box.",
      • "content": "Records are meant to be broken and nowhere was that spirit more alive than at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025. While every maison brought its A-game, five timepieces stood out not just for their beauty or craftsmanship, but for pushing the boundaries of what’s physically and technically possible in modern horology. Vacheron Constantin unveiled the world’s most complicated wristwatch boasting 41 complications. Bvlgari reaffirmed its dominance in ultra-thin watchmaking with its 10th world record – the slimmest tourbillon ever made. Ulysse Nardin introduced the lightest mechanical dive watch in the world that weighs less than a tennis ball. Elsewhere, Parmigiani Fleurier made material history with the first watch to be rendered in the avant-garde alloy Cermet. And from Japan, Grand Seiko debuted what may be the most accurate mainspring-powered wristwatch ever, with an astonishing deviation of just ±20 seconds a year. Here are the five record-setting creations that are redefining the frontiers of the watchmaking world today. With the new Octo Finissimo Ultra Tourbillon, Bvlgari writes the 10th chapter in its record-breaking saga of ultra-thin marvels. Measuring a mere 1.85mm thin, the watch sets the world record for the thinnest tourbillon ever made. This 20-piece limited edition builds on the legacy of the Octo Finissimo line, which has consistently pushed horological boundaries for over 10 years – from the 1.95mm-thick tourbillon (2014) to the minute repeater (2016), tourbillon chronograph (2020), perpetual calendar (2021), and COSC-certified chronometer in 2024. Yet, this latest marvel is more than a numbers game; it’s an extraordinary feat of modern engineering that carries with it a price tag of over S$1.1m. To achieve such radically thin proportions, Bvlgari had to completely rethink conventional watchmaking principles. Boasting a 42-hour power reserve, the BVF 900 calibre is integrated directly into the tungsten carbide caseback, which doubles up as the mainplate. This ultra-dense, highly rigid material is essential in supporting the delicate architecture of components packed into a movement just 1.5mm high. Central to this achievement is the flying tourbillon. Skeletonised and positioned for maximum visibility, it’s driven by a patented differential gear system that separates winding and time-setting across two steel planar crowns at 3 and 8 o’clock. These innovations eliminate the need for vertical crown components and shave precious millimetres off the overall thickness. Aesthetically, the 40mm case stays true to the Octo Finissimo’s signature monochromatic grey palette and distinctive geometric silhouette. A microbead-blasted titanium bezel, case middle, and lugs accentuate the geometric profile, while a circular-grained steel ratchet engraved with geometric motifs adds visual intrigue and depth. An integrated microbead-frosted titanium bracelet – just 1.5mm thick, including the clasp – seamlessly completes this masterpiece. As watchmakers tirelessly pursue ever-greater precision, Grand Seiko quietly raises the bar with the Spring Drive U.F.A. (Ultra Fine Accuracy). According to the Japanese manufacture’s own research, this could be the most accurate wristwatch movement powered by a mainspring today. Unveiled as part of the Evolution 9 Collection, the new calibre 9RB2 boasts an extraordinary annual rate of ±20 seconds accuracy. To put that into perspective, that’s 20 seconds out of over 31 million seconds in a year. To achieve this milestone, the movement relies on a specially aged quartz oscillator and newly designed IC (integrated circuit), a critical component that regulates the movement's speed with high precision . Both are vacuum-sealed to minimise environmental disturbances like temperature shifts and static electricity. Thermo-compensation is calculated precisely for each oscillator, ensuring consistently reliable timekeeping. And for the first time in a Spring Drive movement, a regulation switch allows for accuracy corrections during after-sales servicing. Two ultra-refined 37mm models showcase this innovation: The High-Intensity Titanium (SLGB003) and 80-piece platinum boutique exclusive (SLGB001). Rendered in pale blue hues that vary in tone and depth, their dials reflect the frost-covered trees of the Kirigamine Highlands east of the Shinshu Watch Studio, where all Grand Seiko Spring Drives are produced. The titanium version features a silver-tinged blue dial and tempered blue seconds hand, evoking ice forests under crisp skies. The platinum edition’s deeper blue dial offers a refined contrast to the smooth sweep of a silver-toned seconds hand. The Calibre 9RB2 is revealed in all its glory through a sapphire crystal caseback. Its bevelled, mirror-polished edges shimmer like frost, while the jewels gleam like stars in a Shinshu winter sky. Every surface reflects the seasonal beauty surrounding the watch’s birthplace. Practicality is matched by comfort: The titanium model includes a newly developed three-step micro-adjustment clasp, operable without tools, for precise 2mm tweaks, while the platinum version is paired with a crocodile strap for classic elegance. The high-end Swiss watchmaker breaks new ground in luxury sports watchmaking with the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Ultra-Cermet, the world’s first timepiece crafted entirely from Cermet. Known for its exceptional hardness, scratch resistance, and lightweight qualities, the cutting-edge alloy – a high-tech fusion of ceramic and titanium ­– has previously been reserved for aerospace and engineering applications. The Cermet used here undergoes an extreme selection of fine powders and boasts a unique cool-to-the-touch sensation, which introduces a new sensory dimension to high-end horology. A total of 72 components – from the case, fluted bezel, crown and pushers to even the pin buckle – are fashioned from this material that took three years to perfect. The dial is coated in Blackor, a 9k gold-nickel alloy that lends it a distinctive grey-black hue, which beautifully enhances the timepiece’s metallic sophistication. Offered in two 42.5mm references of Milano Blue and London Grey, both chronographs feature matching subdials and textured rubber straps for a chic look. Powering the watch is Parmigiani Fleurier’s COSC-certified PF070 integrated chronograph movement with a 65-hour power reserve. Adding to the technical allure are satin-finished openworked bridges, as well as a polished and sandblasted 22k rose gold rotor that are visible through the sapphire caseback. The dive watch has long been the workhorse of the horological world, typically defined by its substantial heft, rugged construction, and commanding wrist presence. It’s a formula that has remained largely unchanged since the 1950s – until now. Enter Ulysse Nardin, which has achieved the seemingly impossible with its game-changing Diver [AIR]. Weighing only 52g with its strap – and under 46g without – it holds the title of the world's lightest mechanical dive watch. Yet, in true Ulysse Nardin fashion, this radical lightness doesn’t sacrifice its serious underwater credentials. With a 44mm case water resistant up to 200m, a movement capable of withstanding shocks up to 5,000G, and an impressive 90-hour power reserve, the Diver [AIR] delivers professional-grade specs in a watch that weighs less than a tennis ball. The secret lies in its skeletonised UN-374 manufacture calibre, which comprises 20 per cent material and 80 per cent air. When Ulysse Nardin designers removed material from the movement, they counterintuitively made it even stronger and more robust. This ingenious move was done by using the slender bridges to form triangles, a rigid shape often used in engineering and architecture to resist bending and warping. The bridges and other movement components are rendered in lightweight titanium that’s 90 per cent recycled, while the escapement features an ultra-light, upcycled silicon wafer that further reduces weight while ensuring precision. The technological breakthroughs extend throughout the watch’s construction. The modular case construction combines a water-resistant, recycled titanium core with sides made from Nylo-Foil, a hybrid material incorporating repurposed fishing nets and carbon fibre salvaged from IMOCA racing yachts. Even the CarbonFoil bezel insert features 100 per cent upcycled carbon fibres from IMOCA boats that are chopped and compressed into a distinctive marbled pattern. Despite all its technological innovation, the Diver [AIR] still feels like a proper tool watch on the wrist. The bezel rotates with satisfying clicks, while the lume is as bold as any traditional diver’s watch. A final flourish: Two interchangeable straps (in orange and white) ensure versatility in any environment. Vacheron Constantin once again defies the limits of haute horlogerie with the Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication – La Premiere, a fitting tribute to the Swiss watchmaker’s 270th anniversary. Housing an unprecedented 41 complications, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece is the result of eight years of dedicated research, development, and innovation. At the heart of the mechanical symphony beats the all-new Calibre 3655, a movement composed of 1,521 painstakingly miniaturised components, all housed within a 45mm white gold case that’s 14.99mm thick. This double-sided marvel breaks new ground not only in mechanical sophistication, but also in terms of precision miniaturisation, pushing the limits of how much complexity can be achieved in a wearable watch. Its compact dimensions belie an intricate architecture achieved through revolutionary engineering techniques – most notably, an innovative plug-and-play modular system that neatly connects two intricately designed sections: A base calibre that integrates the time, chronograph, and chiming functions, and an additional module housing its rare astronomical displays. The Solaria occupies a special place in horology, notably for its five innovative astronomical complications, four of which are dedicated to tracking the Sun’s position across the sky, including its altitude, culmination point, and angle of declination. A fifth complication marries a split-seconds chronograph with a representation of the celestial vault that enables the wearer to calculate precisely the length of time it will take for a selected star to reach the centre of his viewpoint. A previously unattained feat in mechanical watchmaking, it makes its world premiere on the Solaria. It’s significant to note that these functions have never been featured on a single wristwatch. Equally remarkable is the watch’s innovative chiming mechanism, a Westminster carillon minute repeater, widely regarded as the most sophisticated chime sequence in watchmaking. Featuring four gongs and four hammers, this acoustic complication alone demanded seven of the 13 patent applications filed for this timepiece. The challenge was integrating the mechanism into a dense movement without compromising resonance and clarity. Vacheron Constantin engineers developed rectangular-section gongs anchored directly to the case, complemented by steel and gold hammers to maximise acoustic purity. Despite its encyclopaedic complication count, the Solaria remains highly legible. Its front dial features four counters, two of which carry up to five functions each, arranged for clarity with a contrast-enhancing palette of black, white, and grey. The reverse side, which is dominated by the star chart and split-seconds chronograph, maintains visual balance through the thoughtful use of colour-coded indicators, notably red and green chronograph hands and a fuel gauge–style power reserve indicator. The sheer technical complexity of Solaria’s Calibre 3655 is matched by its unparalleled finishing. Components are hand-decorated with no fewer than nine haute horlogerie techniques, including sunray brushing, circling, sandblasting, and brouillage. Even the smallest parts, such as the jewel sinks, barrel ratchets, and cam wheels, are finely polished. Far beyond technical bravado, Vacheron Constantin has masterfully conjured up an entire cosmos for the wrist with the Solaria. A sophisticated interplay of time, sound, and celestial movement, it’s a feat not only in mechanical brilliance, but horological imagination.",

      • "content": "The strange scene of US President Donald Trump huddled knee to knee with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the anteroom of Pope Francis’ funeral has prompted hopes that a so-far-elusive peace deal in the war between Russia and Ukraine is within reach. Whether that comes to pass remains to be seen. But one product of the exchange is renewed speculation that Trump may soon turn his eyes toward another long-sought deal – a “peace” pact with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Axios reported on that senior Trump officials are actively consulting experts inside and outside the administration about the prospects of reviving talks, picking up the threads of the first Trump administration’s attempts. At least one prominent expert on the North Korean nuclear program confirmed that he had been contacted recently about a potential meeting between Trump and Kim. “While nothing appears imminent, Trump has made clear he’d like to reconnect with Kim — perhaps face-to-face — and his national security team is preparing for that scenario,” Axios reported. Informed diplomatic sources in Seoul believe that this process is “at a very early stage.” At this point, “Washington is gearing up to do a policy review and generate some options for North Korea,” a senior diplomat told this writer. Wi Sung-lac, a former senior official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and advisor to leading presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung, echoed these sentiments. “If Ukraine stabilizes, the next turn for Trump will be North Korea, seeking a resumption of talks,” he predicted. For North Korea, the main incentive to resume talks will be to gain US acceptance of its status as a nuclear weapons state, says Professor Andrei Lankov of Kookmin University, a respected analyst of North Korea based in South Korea. There is no interest in Pyongyang for any meeting aimed at the country’s denuclearization, Lankov says – an assessment that’s shared by many US experts, according to the Axios report. The prospects for a deal that leaves North Korea’s nuclear capability largely intact could be improved by that re-establish the more limited goals of the agreement that was reached under the Barack Obama administration but then was dismantled by Trump. A new agreement with Iran that simply limits its enrichment of uranium could signal that Trump is ready to accept far more limited goals in his deal-making. After contributing to Russia’s war efforts in Ukraine, a triumphant North Korean regime may try to use the moment to its advantage. “They will try to talk to Trump,” Lankov, who was trained in the Soviet Union, said. “They are not eager, but they will do it.” A victorious Vladimir Putin might even welcome and encourage this meeting, argued Moon Chung-in, a well-known progressive foreign policy thinker. “Putin can play a very important facilitation role with North Korea and encourage Kim to talk to Trump,” Moon told this writer recently. “Russia has been more vocal about accepting North Korea as a nuclear weapons state” relative to China, he said. There is even the possibility of a trilateral meeting, according to Tae Yong-ho, a former North Korean diplomat who defected in 2016 and from 2020 to 2024 served as an elected member of the South’s National Assembly representing a Seoul district. “If Putin ends the war and wants to raise the status of Kim Jong Un, then a trilateral summit could be possible,” Tae, who now heads the presidential advisory commission on unification, told this writer in Seoul. Western diplomats agree that this is possible but regard it as unrealistic at this point. Trump’s desire to resume his quest for a grand deal with Kim is evident from his to his friendship with the North Korean dictator. But many analysts, , have questioned whether Kim is still interested in returning to what was clearly a painful failure in his bid for legitimacy and global status. The last time around, Kim felt considerable pressure from an isolated and failing economy facing international sanctions supported by China and Russia. But those sanctions are now effectively broken, and the North Korean economy is trending upward, according to the . Chinese pipelines to North Korea pump in oil and other key imports, reports Lankov, and the Russians are supplying energy, fertilizer and foodstuffs, as well as other key inputs, in exchange for arms and soldiers supplied to the war effort. In addition, North Korea highly successful cyber theft operations that yield billions of dollars in cash and cryptocurrency. The North Korean regime still faces severe internal challenges, observes former defector Tae. The younger generation is infected by the spread of ideas and culture from South Korea, even though the regime has increased its repression of any signs of that spread. “That tells me that Kim Jong Un is still very afraid of any possible contingency,” he says. Still, argues Lankov, “they are more secure now than ever since the famines of the 1990s.” “The elimination of sanctions is still part of their negotiation goals,” says a close observer of the North Korean economy based in Seoul. “But it is not so critical compared to previous times.” For now, the North Korean regime may be comfortable with the status quo, the well-informed Western diplomat says. “I just don’t think Kim Jong Un is in a cooperative mood with Washington.” One factor potentially affecting the prospects for a Trump-Kim negotiation is the role of South Korea. During the first Trump administration, the progressive government of President Moon Jae-in played a significant role in facilitating those talks. The conservative government of President Yoon Suk Yeol was opposed to that outreach and took a much tougher stance on the resumption of any dialogue with Pyongyang. The presidential election in early June, however, could bring a return to progressive rule in South Korea. While a new government may not have the same channels to the North, it will likely not stand in the way of a resumption of engagement, experts in Seoul say. “We want a restoration of South-North relations and we are not critical of US-North Korea talks,” says former South Korean diplomat Cho Hyun, a close advisor to the progressive leadership of the Democratic Party. “We believe it will be helpful in getting peace on the peninsula.” Cho acknowledges that a new South Korean government may not be invited as a key player in any talks between Trump and Kim but hopes that Seoul will have a place at the table. “I don’t think we will be brushed aside,” the former senior Foreign Ministry official told this writer. What happens next may depend on how events elsewhere, from Ukraine to Iran, unfold in the coming weeks.",

      • "description": "Major e-commerce platforms like Shein and Temu will be hit by Donald Trump's one-two punch of steep tariffs on China and the end of tax-free status for low-value parcels, says Momentum Works’ Li Jianggan.",
      • "content": "SINGAPORE: “Total chaos.” A friend who heads a cross-border e-commerce logistics company told me what happened on the ground in February – the last time United States President Donald Trump tried to end the de minimis exemption that allowed parcels valued US$800 and below to enter the US tax-free. Scheduled cargo planes failed to depart from China to the US; goods that had been flown in piled up at customs, as were the halls with people – like my friend, many companies had sent employees out to deal with the mess. Add on the 10 per cent extra tariff on Chinese imports Mr Trump had ordered to effect on the same day, and logistics companies did not know how and how much to charge their client. That policy change was paused on Feb 5, after sligh tly more than 24 hours it came into effect, during which the authorities and US Postal Service (a major delivery player of low-value parcels) made a lot of sometimes conflicting changes and U-turns. Low-value parcels from China are now set to lose their tax-free status more definitively from Friday (May 2), an order made on Mr Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” when he slapped tariffs on all trading partners. With Chinese imports to the US tariffed at 145 per cent and the converse at 125 per cent, many trades between the two have been rendered economically unviable. And caught in the middle of the waiting game to see who will be the first one to blink are Chinese ecommerce platforms, notably Shein and Temu , and US consumers. E-COMMERCE PLATFORMS SAW THIS COMING The leaders of major platforms and logistics companies have been clear-headed all this while. They cannot afford not to, with billions of low-value shipments to the US. The end of de minimis rule would come – they saw that coming long before Mr Trump started his second term. The February chaos was simply a dry run, or even a deliberate stress test. In fact, the challenges they anticipated went far beyond their parcels costing more because of the nominal tariffs levied. To understand why, remember that e-commerce is a game of four core consumer value propositions: selection, quality, speed and savings. In different ways, the Chinese cross-border platforms focused on presenting a vast selection to US (and other countries’) consumers at very cheap prices. Compared to traditional forms of import and retail, Shein and Temu cut off multiple layers of intermediaries and reduced inventory risks and costs by going directly to the manufacturers. The trade-off consumers in the US and elsewhere will face is speed. Instead of getting goods instantly in hand from nearby stores or with next day delivery from platforms like Amazon, consumers wait for a week or more for a parcel to arrive from China. They live with it because of the price advantages. Now that costs will go up and customs clearance adds more delays and uncertainty, will consumers still be willing to wait? MITIGATION MEASURES OVERWHELMED BY TARIFF SALVO Since last year, both Shein and Temu have been actively preparing for the potential loss of the de minimis treatment. Temu actively diverted its growth attention away from cross border to goods that are shipped from domestic warehouses in the US. It has also been actively reducing its exposure to the US market by diversifying, growing volumes in markets like Europe, Korea, Japan and Latin America. Shein has been actively diversifying its ecommerce supply chain, including in Mexico and Brazil. We have also met Shein suppliers who have been building factories in Turkey and Morocco. After the chaos in February, one platform also encouraged its Chinese suppliers to shift manufacturing to Vietnam and started to build logistics capabilities there. Another platform has been shipping more than 10,000 parcels a day to the US from a third country. Nonetheless, the magnitude and widespread coverage of US tariffs took everyone by surprise. Shipping from a third country, or even moving the supply chain, is now less safe than it used to be. WHAT’S NEXT FOR SHEIN, TEMU? The global supply chain will always find its way to adapt to whichever shock that is thrown to it, or whichever drastic change that becomes permanent. If high prices become permanent, consumers will adapt as well, eventually. Logistics experts and economists warn that Mr Trump’s tariffs will mean higher prices and emptier store shelves for US consumers soon. The price increase will be across the board – even for offline retail as, for many of the categories, the supply chain is concentrated in China or is tightly integrated. Chinese e-commerce platforms, as well as traditional American retailers in Walmart, will have limited room to squeeze supplier margins further. Raising prices would be inevitable. Shein and Temu have already been seeing a drop in US sales since February. There are plenty of historical examples of large communities or whole societies living in enclosed, economically inefficient systems, who find ways to justify their status as “normal”. We hope we do not have to get there. The problem for everyone now is the uncertainty. Nobody can place all their bets wholly on the permanence of the Trump tariffs, or the US system’s ability to quickly correct the excess. Many have chosen not to make any drastic change – trying to hang on through this turbulence first without being shaken off the wagon. Same for Shein, Temu and other Chinese businesses that have been in the international arena. Two weeks ago, we ran a survey with our community of Chinese businesses on how they view the impact of tariffs. Close to 43 per cent of over 2,000 respondents chose a passive attitude, believing that Chinese businesses will be targeted wherever they go; 32 per cent opted to “wait and see” because things might change very soon; while about 21 per cent preferred to “stop wishful thinking, and face it head on”. Yet, all these options are not mutually exclusive. In our chatter with manufacturers and suppliers across different industry clusters in China, surprisingly, many have chosen to trust the (Chinese) government this time. “There will be pain, but we have been through a lot of pain in the past. Eat bitterness, you know,” one manufacturing boss in Eastern Zhejiang province told us. “In the long term, we might prevail, but definitely we will survive.” Jianggan Li is CEO of Momentum Works, a Singapore-based venture outfit, and co-author of Seeing The Unseen: Behind Chinese Tech Giants’ Global Venturing.",

      • "description": "In addition to recent new laws and state incentives, Chinese tech and retail giants have been stepping up support for exporters, introducing measures to help sell their goods domestically on their platforms.",
      • "content": "SINGAPORE: It was once hailed as China's answer to Apple’s Beats Electronics - offering sleek yet affordable high-quality audio devices that appealed to a growing young, tech-savvy global customer base. But even after global sales of up to 300 million units, Chinese electronics audio company 1MORE is now shifting gears - redirecting more of its sales to the domestic Chinese market as US-China tensions continue to escalate amid a bitter tariff tiff. It has teamed up with one of China’s largest e-commerce platforms JD.com to market and promote its products - a move which analysts have noted is part of a wider trend that comes at a time when consumer confidence continues to hover near historic lows and government efforts to boost domestic spending have not been widely successful. But 1MORE remains confident about its strategy. “Joining JD.com has not only helped 1MORE leverage the platform’s reach to boost sales and brand awareness, it has also showcased the quality and technological strength of (our) products,” said Cai Yunhui, the group’s chief operating officer, adding that sales on the platform had grown by nearly 20 per cent in the past two weeks. “Since 1MORE products have always maintained the same standards for both domestic and overseas markets, no changes were needed for products shifting to domestic sales.” SUPPORTING TARIFF-HIT BUSINESSES The US-China trade conflict has reignited with renewed intensity, plunging the two superpowers into a new phase of global economic uncertainty. Since his return to the White House in January, US President Donald Trump has imposed additional tariffs as high as 145 per cent on Chinese imports - prompting Beijing to hit back with tariffs of up to 125 per cent on US goods. Official trade talks have yet to take place but China has granted tariff exemptions on select products, reportedly listing US-made products that would be exempted - an approach observers said would allow Beijing to maintain its public messaging while privately taking practical steps to provide concessions. Beijing has urged exporters to pivot to its massive domestic market, by announcing plans and incentives to help tariff-hit firms and businesses mitigate risks. Due to take effect on May 20, the recently-passed Private Economy Promotion Law is said to include provisions on fair competition, access to investment and financing and rights protections. On the ground, Chinese tech and retail giants have also been stepping up efforts to support exporters squeezed by US tariffs. As part of a 200 billion yuan (US$27.6 billion) initiative announced on Apr 11, JD.com pledged to help exporters sell their products domestically over the next year. Employees will be sent to Chinese companies involved in foreign trade, directly purchase their “high-quality products” and set up dedicated sections on its e-commerce platform to sell these products and direct traffic and marketing support. The company is also hoping for more support in other overseas markets if US-China trade tensions continue to persist, Cai said. “We also hope to see more domestic exhibition subsidies and government procurement projects extended to support private enterprises,” she added. Rival Alibaba also announced special support programmes through its popular online retail sites Taobao and Tmall, as well as high-tech supermarket chain Freshippo, which rolled out a fast-track onboarding process, providing 24/7 support and simplified approvals for tariff-hit exporters. A new “Export-to-Domestic” section in its apps will boost visibility for Chinese-made goods. PDD Holdings, which operates the popular Pinduoduo Chinese shopping app, has also pledged to invest 100 billion yuan over the next three years to support smaller exporters, including subsidies for small- and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) in cross-border e-commerce operations to help stabilise production and navigate overseas challenges. Chinese supermarket giant Yonghui Superstores, which operates over 926 stores across 28 provinces selling agricultural products, processed foods and household appliances, has called on affected manufacturers to join its “green channel initiative” aimed at supporting domestic supply chain enterprises grappling with stockpiles caused by export challenges. Speaking to Chinese state media outlets, the company said it was also currently in talks with over 70 Chinese supply chain enterprises, including those supplying products to US competitors, like Costco and Walmart. In a state media interview published on Apr 14, Cao Derong, President of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Foodstuffs, Native Produce and Animal By-products (CFNA), said greater attention and support from authorities would be needed to ensure a smooth transition for Chinese export companies hoping to successfully pivot to the domestic market. “This requires the relevant domestic departments to pay greater attention and provide further support, so that the transition can be smooth,” Cao said. CHALLENGES OF “PIVOTING INWARDS” Even with incentives and extensive support, analysts have continued to express doubt over China’s massive domestic market being able to ease the burden faced by exporters. One, pre-existing issues like still-struggling growth and consumption rates and increasing spending power would take time to resolve, analysts told CNA. “Without higher income levels, these remain just (empty) slogans,” said Liu Zhibiao, professor and director of the Yangtze Industrial Economic at Nanjing University. “To solve this, we need to raise the share of national income allocated to households, improve disposable income and strengthen the social safety net - only then can a domestic-demand-led growth strategy become a reality.” Persistent overcapacity also remains a key economic barrier for businesses trying to shift exports inward, said Liu. “Many factories are already running well below capacity. If supply keeps outpacing demand, it’s hard for the domestic market to absorb more,” he said, adding that many overseas export-reliant Chinese firms still lacked the experience of being able to operate domestically. “Their sales channels, marketing methods and payment systems were built for overseas markets and won’t easily translate at home.” He also noted that many goods intended for US markets would not likely translate or appeal to China’s domestic buyers. “Lawnmowers, produced specifically for the US, are one such example,” he said. “This mismatch between supply and demand makes it difficult to make the switch.” Chinese companies, long part of the global value and supply chains, would also likely face additional challenges in pivoting towards domestic consumers, Liu said, even with strong and efficient manufacturing systems and capabilities. “They may have strong manufacturing capabilities but what (branding and image) will they sell under? They cannot use the brands of the multinational corporations they used to work for. Intellectual property issues could also arise,” he said. “Once they lose guidance and support (traditionally) provided by these global multinational companies, many of them will struggle to compete in the domestic Chinese market.” Dr Chong Ja Ian, an associate political science professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS), noted a critical point: that overall consumer confidence in the country remained at record lows. “The Chinese market has not been consuming much for some time (and) efforts over the years to boost consumer spending have not been all that successful,” Dr Chong said. He added that sectors like e-commerce platforms, low-cost electronics, apparel and supermarkets could support the switch. “These might find it easier to make a switch even if domestic consumption is low but that may not be enough to boost the economy,” he said. Pivoting inwards might be “a painkiller” for China’s current economic woes but it would not likely solve the bigger “underlying problem of excess capacity exacerbated by tariffs”, said Gary Ng, a senior economist at Natixis, adding not all products catering to overseas markets would be suitable for Chinese consumers. “Sectors with high overseas market reliance, such as textiles, toys, and renewables, will be hit the hardest,” Ng said. “Some of these may heavily rely on overseas markets for existing revenue or new growth and China would not have sufficient demand to absorb the losses.” He added that it would not be easy for China to scale back on its role as the world’s largest manufacturing hub. “If Chinese exporters turn inward for demand, it will escalate price war with business closure and consolidation within the industries,” said Ng, also a research fellow at the Central European Institute of Asian Studies (CEIAS). “(They) can try to sell more to alternative markets, but it is also possible it will see backlash if it threatens the local industries of other countries.” LOOKING TO NEW MARKETS This explains why some Chinese firms are stepping up or pushing ahead with expanding into regional markets as part of diversification. For instance, Togran Electronic Technology, a Guangdong-based maker of gaming keyboards, mice and headsets, told CNA that it had been making plans “as early as 2018” to expand into other markets. This year, it launched its first overseas factory in Vietnam ahead of US tariffs. “We made a global layout in advance, including setting up our own plant in Vietnam so while there’s still some impact, it’s relatively limited,” a company spokesperson told CNA, adding that it was also eyeing new markets like African nations and Singapore as part of a wider global expansion strategy. Leading Chinese AI and voice-recognition technology firm iFLYTEK is planning to scale back its US presence due to rising trade tensions and will also focus on brand-building in new markets like Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe. “In these markets, we focus on growing our brand first and let the business follow gradually,” said iFLYTEK Vice President Vincent Zhan, who added that exports to North American markets would not be cut entirely but would be adjusted based on break-even viability. “We are reducing investment and market integration efforts there,” Zhan said. “There’s too much uncertainty to make major moves.” Other non-exporting companies are also fearing consequences. “We are expecting a ripple effect soon,” said Gary Su, a sales manager at G&G Smart Technology, a leading Guangzhou-based manufacturer of smart cards and other radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The US might account for less than 2 per cent of overall sales but the firm is still bracing for spillover effects. “Even if we’re not hit directly, the impact will ripple through in a few months,” Su said. More exporters are now looking to regional markets as competition will inevitably intensify, Liu said. “To survive, they will need to explore other markets and some might turn their back on China’s own domestic market, which increases pressure across the board.” “For now, we are adopting a wait-and-see approach,” Su said. “We are staying active, joining exhibitions and expanding into new markets but also watching closely how global dynamics unfold.” Turning to new global markets like India, Southeast Asia and the Middle East could be a solution, experts said, but it would need to be backed by real integration. “China will need to deepen ties with non-US markets,” Liu said. “Without stronger alliances and integration with these economies, the potential of non-US markets can’t be fully unlocked and excess capacity may turn into inefficient growth.” Xu Tianchen, a senior economist at the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), told CNA that China had already been diversifying trade with the Global South. “Diversion via third countries is an option, and I don’t think the US will have the capacity to block transshipment,” Xu added. “Even if the US were to crack down on ASEAN, trade would still readily flow to new rerouting hubs such as Latin America and the Middle East.” “Direct trade to the US will recover at some stage as sky-high tariff rates between China and the US are unsustainable and will eventually be walked back.”",

      • "description": "Thailand is trying to increase imports from the US in response to Trump’s tariffs, but this is unlikely to improve Bangkok’s position, says an ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute academic.",
      • "content": "BANGKOK: US President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs is a nightmare for trade-oriented economies, including Thailand. In response, the Thai government has prioritised increasing imports from the US and diversifying export markets. While the 90-day pause of tariff escalation offers significant relief, it risks fostering complacency, as the government’s current approach may prove inadequate. The new US tariffs come as a shock to many for two key reasons. First, it imposes tariffs on imports from nearly all countries. Second, the tariff rates are substantial when compared to the US’ current Most Favoured Nation (MFN) weighted average. Thailand now faces a 36 per cent tariff. Cambodia faces a 49 per cent tariff, Laos 48 per cent and Vietnam 46 per cent. Even with the 90-day pause in tariff escalation announced on Apr 9, a new minimum rate of 10 per cent remains in effect for goods imported from all countries. The impact will be especially severe for trade-dependent developing countries like Thailand. Since the late 1970s, trade has driven rapid economic growth and structural transformation in Thailand, shifting labour from agriculture to manufacturing and services. A distinctive feature of Thailand’s trade regime is its ability to create jobs through labour-intensive manufacturing exports. Since 1990, liberal trade and investment policies, along with lower transport and communication costs, have deepened Thailand’s integration into global value chains. Today, the country is a major hub for the automobile and electronics industries. THAILAND VULNERABLE TO US POLICY SHIFTS Against this backdrop, Trump’s tariff hikes will have a major impact on Thailand’s economy. The US is its largest export market, accounting for about 17 per cent of total exports. Thailand has long maintained a trade surplus with the US, and exports remained strong even during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting their deep economic ties. As Sino-US trade frictions intensified, many goods exported from Thailand to the US between 2018 and 2022 were products which had been previously sourced from China. This includes electronics appliances, air conditioners, hard disk drives, photosensitive semiconductors and image sensors. More importantly, Thailand is heavily reliant on the US market for many products. My calculations show that around 10 per cent of Thai exports shipped to the US derive over 50 per cent of their total export value from the US market. This group spans a wide range of products, including new pneumatic tyres, refrigerators and photosensitive semiconductor devices. This heavy reliance makes Thailand highly vulnerable to US policy shifts, regulatory changes, and broader economic disruptions. INCREASING IMPORTS UNLIKELY TO IMPROVE THAILAND’S SITUATION Similar to other developing countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia, the Thai government has turned to increasing imports from the US. Whether a more balanced trade relationship is a meaningful objective is another matter, but increasing imports alone is unlike to significantly improve Thailand’s position. This is because Trump’s concern over the trade deficit may not just be about the numbers, but more fundamentally about trade barriers. Just days before Trump announced the “Liberation Day” tariffs, the Office of the United States Trade Representative released the 2025 National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers. The report outlines measures and policies of about 60 trading partners that restrict, prevent, or hinder the international exchange of goods and services. For Thailand, trade barriers include both tariffs (particularly on agricultural goods) and non-tariff barriers such as import bans, licensing requirements, tariff-rate quotas, import permit fees, and a controversial incentive system for customs officials who initiate investigations or enforcement actions. Additionally, technical barriers to trade remain in place for many products, for instance, dairy products, animal-derived products, and beef. Though Thailand is not alone in maintaining these trade barriers, they appear more problematic when considered alongside the growing trade imbalance between Thailand and the US over the past decade, which stands out both in its scale and pace of growth. All this suggests that simply importing more from the US is unlikely to resolve the deeper trade friction between the two countries. LIMITS TO DIVERSIFICATION Should the Thai government, then, consider export diversification alongside its effort to increase imports from the US? Given the size and depth of the US market, it remains unclear how much Thailand can, or should, diversify away from it. Diversification involves more than just finding new buyers outside the US; it requires a broader reconfiguration of global supply chains to reduce dependency and enhance resilience. This is particularly relevant for Thai exporters engaged in original equipment manufacturing (OEM), such as those producing photosensitive devices and image sensors. These firms often operate under contract for large multinational brands, supplying highly specialised components within tightly integrated global value chains. These manufacturers often tie producers closely to a few dominant lead firms. This limits the flexibility of Thai exporters to pivot toward new markets. Expanding free trade agreements (FTAs) has been one approach. Thailand currently has 15 FTAs in place with partners. Multilateral frameworks like ASEAN and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership further boost export potential by widening market access and enhancing regional integration. New agreements with blocs like the Pacific Alliance and the Southern Common Market (also known as MERCOSUR) also hold promise. However, signing more FTAs comes with its own set of challenges. For businesses, complying with rules of origin requirements can be costly and complex, potentially limiting the practical benefits of expanded trade deals. While expanding FTAs offers significant opportunities for market access and economic growth, addressing the complexities of compliance and ensuring that businesses can fully capitalise on these agreements will be crucial to their success. The Thai government must go beyond a short-term plan and mobilise resources to address non-tariff barriers, reconfigure supply chains, and enhance the competitiveness of the private sector. This includes targeted fiscal policies, research and development investment, and regulatory reform. Without a cohesive strategy, Thailand risks losing its competitive edge in global value chains and facing long-term disruption.

      • "description": "Thousands of Indonesian migrant workers have gained essential skills and education at Development Singapore, a non-profit organisation, empowering them to return home not just with savings, but with dreams and courage to transform their lives and communities.",
      • "content": "SINGAPORE: Karlina, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, dreams of opening a facial salon when she returns to her hometown. Each Sunday, after a long week of working as a domestic worker in Singapore, she heads to an inconspicuous building in the central business district, where she and dozens other migrants receive training in new skills. “I’m very interested in skincare. I want to have my own business someday,” said the 43-year-old woman in an interview with CNA. After 18 years working in Singapore, where there are around 200,000 Indonesian migrants, Karlina is now taking the next step to fulfilling her dream by taking up courses at Development Singapore, a non-profit organisation. Nurul Aida, 26, another student at Development Singapore, shares a similar dream of opening a salon back home. “I won't work in Singapore forever,” said Nurul. Both Nurul and Karlina look forward to eventually returning home to build new lives with their families. They are among around 3,000 Indonesian domestic workers who have received training at Development Singapore. Many of them have returned home to start new careers or businesses and also created jobs for others in their communities. Development Singapore co-founders Harun Lie and Josanti Cornelius Huwae Kaidoen, who are proud of their former students’ achievements today, never thought the organisation would be this successful when they founded it in 2007. Their story is part of a series on everyday heroes on CNA’s Bahasa Indonesia site . Others who have been featured include a woman who’s helping other women wise up to swindlers on dating apps and a man who rescues abandoned babies and set up a welfare home. CONCERN FOR FELLOW INDONESIANS Harun, 52, said the movement began after he felt concerned reading a newspaper article about the impact of migration on the communities left behind. “Many mothers in rural areas who didn't have educational opportunities were forced to work abroad—in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and other countries,” Harun recalled. “This created problems in their hometowns. Crime rates rose because their children were left behind without a maternal figure.” Harun, a pastor at Bethany Church Singapore, was also disturbed after hearing about the plight of his neighbour’s domestic worker who had then recently come from Indonesia. \"The domestic worker cried constantly for two weeks,\" Harun recounted. It turned out she had recently given birth and had to leave her four-month-old baby to work in Singapore. Josanti, a 58-year-old member at the same church, shared similar concerns. With a teaching background, Josanti and Harun decided to found Development Singapore. Although the founders are affiliated with the church, Harun sought to emphasise that Development Singapore's activities are secular and open to all faiths. “Many of them haven't returned to Indonesia for a long time. We wondered how we could help upgrade their skills so they wouldn’t return home empty-handed,” Harun said. They embarked on a mission to overcome educational barriers facing Indonesian migrant workers. Development Singapore began by securing classroom spaces, recruiting volunteer teachers, and developing a curriculum to award school certifications up to high-school level in partnership with an institution in Batam. “I was surprised that one of our students was illiterate,” said Harun, who is now a Singapore citizen. Despite having only Sundays free, many migrants eagerly participated. In 2010, Harun pioneered a diploma programme in collaboration with a private college in Singapore. Fifty migrant workers showed interest in pursuing higher education. “We collaborated with the institution that generously provided free classrooms and teachers for a business course,” Harun explained. The tuition fee, costing about S$12,000 per year, was waived by the college. Two cohorts successfully completed the programme. One graduate is now a hotel manager in Central Java; another is an assistant manager in Batam. “During the interviews, they were immediately hired because they graduated in Singapore,” Harun proudly stated. However, the programme was halted after several private colleges in Singapore were involved in fraud scandals, making it difficult for many institutions to keep their licences. Faced with this challenge, Development Singapore began partnering with Ciputra Entrepreneurship Center, an Indonesian philanthropic organisation that aims to create two million entrepreneurs in Indonesia. This partnership led to more practical, flexible and impactful training in entrepreneurship and skills development, beyond formal education. Participants learned basic financial management. They were encouraged to plan how long they wished to work in Singapore and taught how to calculate how much capital they needed to save for their future business back home. “They aren't just learning skills, but (are) learning to dream again,” said Sri Redjeki Widjaja, Development Singapore’s current coordinator. Development Singapore then expanded its offerings to cover entrepreneurship, English, makeup, social media, digital marketing, computer skills, as well as creativity and innovation. “We hope that when they return to Indonesia, they won't just bring suitcases, but also knowledge, ideas and the courage to start new lives,” said Sri Redjeki, 57. “We focus on skills. Without credentials or skills, how will they survive in Indonesia?” she added. DRIVEN BY VOLUNTEERS Development Singapore’s growth was initially supported by funding from a United States-based non-profit organisation, which has enabled it to keep all the lessons free till today. It costs about S$1,000 to run each week’s training sessions, including for the renting of classrooms and logistics. Volunteers from diverse backgrounds also stepped up to provide training both offline and online free of charge. “Our volunteers include entrepreneurs, professionals and students,” Harun said. Elda Lasmauli Hotmaway, 42, a volunteer who has travelled from Batam to Singapore every two weeks since April 2024, teaches makeup and facial treatments. “Initially, only five students attended the makeup class,” Elda told CNA. “Now, there are 21.” The makeup class, lasting about one hour, attracts significant interest from the migrants, including Karlina and Nurul. “The teachers are very friendly. The lessons are incredibly interesting and eye-opening,” said Karlina. Another volunteer, Yobel Gracio Sirait, 27, a graphic designer and video editor from Padang in West Sumatra who has lived in Singapore for four years, teaches video and photo editing using the CapCut and Canva applications. “What inspires me are the students. Despite being separated from their families, they still have tremendous enthusiasm to learn,” said Yobel, who has taught at Development Singapore for three years. He was happy to learn that some of his former students are using the knowledge for their businesses back home. Sherlyn Dcuka, a 34-year-old domestic worker who is a current student, dreams of opening a coffee shop and is learning the relevant digital marketing skills to realise her goal. Fellow classmate Aster, 42, has even opened her own remote business while still working in Singapore. “With Canva and CapCut, I can promote my own business,” she said. SUCCESS STORIES Each module offered by Development Singapore spans about three months, with around 30 students per class. New students often pursue additional classes after completing their first. “After three months, they usually join other courses, enrolling into an open university which offers remote learning, while some alumni have become English teachers at high schools in Indonesia,” Harun said. Some are even pursuing master's degrees or starting successful businesses back home. Nurul Fatimah, 34, for instance, successfully runs a motorcycle rental business in Nusa Dua, Bali, after working in Singapore for nine years. Starting with two motorcycles, Nurul now owns 34 units for rent. Another proud alumnus, Sulit Sukesi, 43, became a village chief in Central Java after returning from Singapore in 2018. Selamet Gunawan Satriyo, who heads the Forum for the Indonesian Diaspora in Singapore (FKMIS), said Development Singapore’s efforts in providing inclusive education have been a boon to the community. \"FKMIS fully supports collaborative efforts that go beyond borders in building a more inclusive and adaptive educational ecosystem that empowers each individual based on their potential,\" he said. Development Singapore’s co-founder Josanti is pleased with what it has achieved since its founding 17 years ago. “At that time, they shared their personal stories ... that they didn't come here by choice but ... out of necessity,” said the former teacher who now works as a clinic assistant. “We felt compassion (for them). We knew that if we wanted to improve our lives, education is one way to do it.” And through Development Singapore, thousands of Indonesians have been empowered to become teachers, entrepreneurs, village leaders and be inspiration for the next generation. “I’m grateful our initial plans have borne fruit,” Josanti concluded, smiling as she wrapped up her conversation with CNA.",

      • "description": "The arrest of 10 individuals involved in a birth certificate forgery syndicate is about more than just corruption or criminality, says Southeast Asian politics expert Sophie Lemiere.",
      • "content": "KUALA LUMPUR: The recent arrest of 10 individuals involved in a birth certificate forgery syndicate – linked to human trafficking and the smuggling of undocumented children – has exposed a deep and troubling flaw in Malaysia’s legal and bureaucratic framework. While authorities frame this as a case of corruption and criminality, the scandal is, in reality, a symptom of a much larger problem: a system that fails abandoned and adopted children, pushing desperate families into illegality. THE CRISIS OF THE UNSEEN CHILDREN Malaysia’s constitution guarantees citizenship to foundlings – children discovered abandoned with no known parents. Yet, in practice, civil servants often refuse to apply this provision, driven by personal biases or unfounded fears. Some believe granting citizenship would \"reward\" illegitimate births, while others suspect foundlings might be children of undocumented migrants. The result? Thousands of children grow up stateless, invisible to the system and vulnerable to exploitation. Without birth certificates, these children cannot attend school, access healthcare or prove their identity. They exist in legal limbo, and when they reach adulthood, their lack of documentation bars them from formal employment, pushing many toward informal – and sometimes illegal – means of survival. THE ADOPTION MAZE AND THE DESPERATION OF PARENTS For Malaysian families who wish to adopt abandoned children, the process is fraught with obstacles. Adoption laws differ for Muslim and non-Muslim children, though the classification of a foundling’s religion is often arbitrary. Even after navigating the adoption process, parents face an uphill battle to secure birth certificates and citizenship for their children. Frustrated by bureaucratic inertia and discriminatory practices, some turn to middlemen and illegal channels to obtain documentation. In many cases, adoptive parents resort to registering the child as their biological offspring, erasing the child’s true origins. This is not just a failure of law enforcement – it is a failure of the state to provide a humane, functional system for adoption and citizenship. THE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES OF CRIMINALISING ABANDONMENT Malaysia’s penalisation of child abandonment exacerbates the crisis. Fear of prosecution drives mothers – often single and vulnerable – to abandon newborns in unsafe conditions. In Malaysia, it is called “baby dumping”. Shockingly, 60 per cent of abandoned infants are found dead. Instead of supporting these women or providing safe alternatives, the law pushes them into desperation, perpetuating a cycle of tragedy. Malaysia need not look far for solutions. Morocco, an Islamic nation that once faced a similar orphan crisis, first implemented sweeping reforms to its family code (Mudawana) in 2004 and further improved the code to promote women’s rights in 2024. Key among the initial reforms was decriminalising child abandonment and establishing clear legal pathways for adoption under kafala, an Islamic guardianship system that maintains the child’s lineage while placing them in a loving home. Morocco’s approach ensures that mothers who cannot raise their children can surrender them safely – under judicial supervision – rather than abandoning them in perilous conditions. The state then takes custody, documents the child, and facilitates legal adoption or kafala. This system, compliant with international child rights conventions, has significantly reduced street abandonments and improved child welfare. TIME FOR MALAYSIA TO ACT The birth certificate bribery scandal should serve as a wake-up call. Instead of merely prosecuting those caught in the web of corruption, Malaysia must address the root causes: opaque adoption laws, discriminatory citizenship practices and the lack of support for vulnerable mothers. Last year, a controversial proposal to strip foundlings of automatic citizenship rights was narrowly defeated. Had it passed, this scandal would be just the beginning – statelessness would become the norm for countless children, fuelling more illegal syndicates. Malaysia must take decisive action to rectify this systemic failure by first upholding constitutional protections for foundlings and ensuring that citizenship rights are enforced without prejudice or bureaucratic resistance. The adoption process must be reformed to create a clear, unified legal framework that serves all children equally, eliminating the arbitrary religious distinctions that currently complicate and delay placements. Additionally, decriminalising child abandonment – while establishing safe, legal surrender mechanisms – would protect both vulnerable mothers and infants, reducing tragic cases of unsafe desertion. Finally, strengthening child protection systems is essential to prevent trafficking and “baby selling”, ensure proper documentation for every child, and integrate them into society with dignity. These reforms would not only address the immediate crisis but also align Malaysia’s laws with its international commitments to children’s rights, fostering a more just and compassionate society. This scandal is not just about corruption. It is about children whose lives hang in the balance, parents driven to desperation and a system that has failed them all. The Moroccan model proves that children protection principles already exist within the Islamic legal corpus even if Malaysia has yet to implement them. Malaysia, a nation that has ratified international conventions on children’s rights, must now align its laws with its obligations – and its humanity. The time for reform is now – before more lives are lost to bureaucracy and indifference.

      • "description": "With Changi Airport Terminal 5 opening in the mid-2030s, the demand for air traffic control officers is expected to grow by 40 per cent – a critical need in a role where precision is everything.",
      • "content": "SINGAPORE: Sitting in an air-conditioned control room, air traffic controllers may not look like they're in the thick of the action – but theirs is one of the most intense and high-stakes jobs in aviation. For 36-year-old master air traffic control officer (ATCO) Ilyana Nabilah, every shift comes with the responsibility of keeping hundreds of lives safe in the sky. “There’s no room for error in this job. We really have to put safety ahead of everything else,” she said. While Hollywood-style emergencies are rare, ATCOs regularly navigate real-world crises – from weather disruptions and medical emergencies to sudden surges in air traffic. During one shift, Ms Ilyana had to redirect a flight back to Singapore after a passenger suffered a heart attack onboard. She coordinated with the Changi Airport control tower and activated emergency medical services on the ground. “It's through years of training and following certain protocols that help us keep calm,” she said. Even with rigorous systems in place, the consequences of lapses are real. In January, a collision between a US Army Black Hawk helicopter and a commercial jet near Washington's Ronald Reagan National Airport killed 67 people. While investigations are underway , reports have indicated that understaffing at the control tower could be a factor. Such incidents underscore the critical need for well-trained air traffic controllers – a need that is only set to grow. With Changi Airport’s Terminal 5 expected to open in the mid-2030s, increasing the airport’s capacity by more than 50 per cent, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) anticipates a 40 per cent rise in demand for ATCOs. FROM JOB FAIR TO CONTROL TOWER Ms Ilyana joined CAAS in 2012 after discovering the role at a university job fair. A National University of Singapore graduate with a degree in project management, she had no aviation background and thought she would not qualify for the job. But this was not the case – CAAS welcomes applicants from any academic discipline, said director of air traffic services Vincent Hwa. The key qualities of an air traffic controller extend beyond academic credentials, he told CNA. They are selected for qualities like sharp cognitive skills, spatial awareness and the ability to stay calm under pressure. Applicants undergo aptitude tests, personality assessments and interviews. Of the 1,000 to 1,200 applications received each year, only 50 to 60 are selected as probationary ATCOs. New recruits undergo about 18 months of rigorous training at the Singapore Aviation Academy, comprising theory, simulator sessions, on-the-job training and a final validation check. ATCOs are eventually streamed into one of three roles: area, approach or aerodrome. Ms Ilyana is an area ATCO, managing aircraft during the final climb and the cruising phase. She is also responsible for assigning safe cruising flight levels to aircraft and coordinating handovers between regional air traffic control centres. Approach ATCOs handle aircraft transitioning between cruise and landing or take-off, and are also responsible for lining up aircraft for landing at Changi Airport, while aerodrome ATCOs oversee air traffic at Changi Airport and Seletar Airport, controlling the take-offs, landings and ground movements within the airport area. Remaining calm is one of the toughest aspects of training, said Ms Ilyana. “You have to calculate a lot of things really fast and accurately. You need to know which information is crucial at that point of time.” Excluding trainees, CAAS currently has about 500 ATCOs, and Ms Ilyana has been one since 2013. The oldest ATCO is 67 years old and the youngest 24 years old. A DAY IN THE CONTROL CENTRE CNA was given rare access to Ms Ilyana’s workplace at the Singapore Air Traffic Control Centre (SATCC), located near Changi Village. An ATCO's shift typically lasts eight-and-a-half hours, with teams working around the clock. Before each shift, ATCOs attend a detailed briefing on factors like weather and expected air traffic conditions. Some work in pairs – like Ms Ilyana, where one of them communicates directly with pilots and the other is an assistant. The control room hums with activity: alerts sound, phones ring and ATCOs are locked in concentration, eyes fixed on multiple screens. While there are lull periods, air traffic can pick up suddenly, especially in adverse weather conditions. For instance, pilots may request to deviate from their flight path, and she will have to coordinate this with other controllers. Communicating with multiple pilots concurrently can be intense and stressful, Ms Ilyana said. “People forget that there's only one controller and that we could be communicating to about 20 pilots at the same time.” To maintain focus, controllers are required to take a 30-minute break every 60 to 90 minutes. During breaks, they may rest in the lounge or grab a snack and use their phones, which are off-limits inside the operations room to avoid distractions. Even water bottles must be kept in designated caddies next to their workstations to prevent spills near equipment. Despite having to juggle tasks and keep a laser-like focus during work, she would have it no other way. “I love it because of the thrill and dynamic environment,” she said. “It's intellectually stimulating and at the end of the day, it gives me an immense sense of satisfaction.” Ms Ilyana, a mother of two, also appreciates that the job doesn't follow her home. “Once we plug out, we never have to bring our work home. Because of that, the time we have with our family is purely quality time,” she said. One common misconception she encounters? That all air traffic controllers work in the iconic tower at Changi Airport. “Most of us are based at SATCC. Only aerodrome ATCOs are at the tower,” she said. Approach ATCOs and area ATCOs like Ms Ilyana work at the SATCC, which is not in Changi Airport but near Changi Village. CHARTING THE FUTURE To attract new talent, CAAS actively reaches out to students and mid-career jobseekers through career fairs, industry events, and social media campaigns. The role offers a competitive salary, with additional allowances, benefits and performance-based incentives, said CAAS' Mr Hwa. He added that there is also a clear career progression pathway and development opportunities for ATCOs. They have opportunities for specialisation in areas such as training and search and rescue operations, or to move into management roles. To support staff well-being, CAAS has implemented mental health resources, fatigue risk management protocols and family-friendly policies, he said. Looking ahead, Mr Hwa said air traffic management will increasingly be supported by technology such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. These tools will help with \"conflict detection\" and trajectory-based operations, improving safety and efficiency. Space-based communications and surveillance systems will also enhance global air traffic monitoring, especially in remote regions. But even as the role evolves, one thing remains constant. “Air traffic control remains a highly complex function with heavy responsibilities given its safety implications,” said Mr Hwa. “We do not at this point envisage that technology would completely replace the human.”",

      • "content": "The first 100 days of the second Donald Trump Administration produced upheaval in many quarters, but one policy remains steady: building a regional defense architecture to deter aggression by China. Further movement in this direction, however, is threatened by collateral damage from aspects of the new US government’s approach to foreign policy that break with the pre-Trump era. Chief among these are the “tariff war” and alliance skepticism. How did we get to where we are now? During the first Trump Administration (2017-2021), US policy toughened toward Beijing as Washington concluded that deep economic engagement with China was not working as planned. Increased wealth was supposed to liberalize and pacify China. Instead, the Chinese government under Xi Jinping was increasingly authoritarian at home and aggressive abroad. The pandemic drew attention to America’s dependence on Chinese supplies of vital supplies. Trump’s government characterized China as more of an adversary than a partner. The US imposed tariffs on some Chinese imports and began working to reroute global supply chains to reduce China’s global economic centrality. At the same time, Trump expressed contempt for US alliances, arguing that allies benefited disproportionately while underpaying for US protection. At the same time, Trump departed from the mainstream of postwar US foreign policy in important ways. He rejected American exceptionalism, sidelined liberal values as a lodestar for US foreign relationships and expressed affinity for authoritarian state leaders such as Xi, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. Trump was highly critical of US global commitments, particularly the US alliances in both Europe and Asia. Instead of free trade, he touted tariffs as the solution to America’s trade deficit. President Joe Biden (2021-2025) extended and increased some of Trump’s tariffs on China. His administration also placed restrictions on Chinese access to advanced technology and pressured other governments to do the same. Biden, however, reversed Trump by returning to a more conventional view of alliances as force multipliers that produce a valuable if intangible strategic return on American investment. The foreign policy of Trump II is dominated by two familiar themes from his first term: enthusiasm for tariffs and disdain for alliances. What is surprising is the intensity with which he has implemented those predilections. The entire world is now under relatively high US tariffs (10%, compared with an average US rate of ) with the threat of much higher “reciprocal tariffs” that would kick in . And America has effectively abandoned NATO – by antagonizing and , by that NATO members can no longer count on the US to defend them and by despite Putin’s aggression against Ukraine. The first three months of Trump II have seen Washington reaffirm its intention to strengthen a counter-China defensive military coalition. As he was dealing with the fallout of the Signal scandal, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth made his first trip to Asia in March. He passed on South Korea, likely because its government was under an acting president while Yoon Suk-yeol was in impeachment proceedings. In Japan, Hegseth said the US plans to increase joint training and cooperation in developing new weapons technologies with Japan, and will also complete the upgrade of the US military headquarters in Japan from an administrative office to a military command post, a decision first announced by the Biden Administration. In the Philippines, Hegseth that the US-Philippine defense treaty covers attacks on Philippine government ships or aircraft anywhere in the South China Sea – an important commitment given Chinese harassment of Philippine navy and coast guard vessels in the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone, over which Beijing claims sovereignty. Hegseth also announced that the US and the Philippines plan to co-produce some military systems and that the US will deploy advanced sea drones and NMESIS anti-ship missiles in Philippines territory. NMESIS indeed appeared in the Batanes Islands in the Luzon Strait south of Taiwan during a US-Philippines military exercise in April. These missiles could theoretically target Chinese warships attempting to encircle Taiwan. The AUKUS agreement, whereby the US and the UK will help provide Australia with nuclear-powered submarines, is still on track, albeit somewhat shakily. On January 29, Australia made a US$500 million down payment – part of a total commitment of US$3 billion to build up the US capacity to manufacture submarines. The shaky part includes uncertainty regarding how much Trump supports or even knows about AUKUS. On February 7, Hegseth that “the president is very aware, supportive of AUKUS” and that Hegseth himself had “hope” that the US would deliver the promised submarines on time. A few days later, asked during a press conference if he had discussed AUKUS with the visiting UK Prime Minister, Trump , “What does that mean?” While the Trump White House ordered a three-month freeze of foreign aid programs upon taking office, Secretary of State Marco Rubio approved to the freeze that included US$870 million in military assistance for Taiwan and $336 million for the Philippines. US Navy warships transited the Taiwan Strait in February and April, indicating that Washington is still willing to annoy Beijing to demonstrate an interest in Taiwan’s security. But while the Pentagon’s agenda in the Asia-Pacific region has seen little interruption in the transition from the Biden to the Trump Administration, it is partly undercut by Washington’s larger foreign policy shifts. Not surprisingly, rent-seeking and abandonment of friends in other parts of the world are adverse to nurturing alliances. The tariff issue is a double whammy for US allies Japan and South Korea. Trump is unhappy with both countries for two reasons. First, they have trade surpluses with the US. Second, Trump thinks they are defense free-riders. The governments of both and have said they want to keep military issues separate from trade talks with the US. Unfortunately for them, Trump the idea of “one stop shopping,” which means “bringing up other subjects that are not covered by Trade and Tariffs, and getting them negotiated also.” The tariff issue brings delegations from theoe two countries to Washington for urgent negotiations. The Japanese, who face a possible additional 24% tariff, came to town on April 16. The Koreans, hoping to avert a planned 25% reciprocal tariff, followed on April 24. Such meetings allow the Trump team to re-visit the contentious matters of how much these allies spend on defense and how much they contribute toward the cost of hosting US military bases. Both countries have already signed multi-year host nation support agreements with the Biden Administration. Under a deal good until 2027, Japan US$1.7 billion per year toward the US bases, plus an additional US$3 billion this year for other costs including construction for US Marines moving from Okinawa to Guam. South Korea pays the US a little over $1 billion annually in host nation support under an valid until 2029. Trump, however, has recently complained that the “don’t pay anything” for US protection and that the should pay $10 billion per year. The likely result is more stress on these alliances. Japan is especially undeserving of such treatment. Tokyo has made itself more useful to the US strategic agenda in recent years by In Australia, the new US government has seriously damaged confidence in US reliability as an ally. Prominent Australian policy thinkers are that their country can no longer count on American help in times of danger. The Australian public feels the same. In the middle of last year, 61 percent of said they could “rely on the United States for defense and national security.” Polled on that same question in April, 66 percent answered in the negative. The disillusionment down under stems from two distinctively Trump policies. The first is Washington’s of supposed friends such as NATO member countries and Ukraine. The second antagonizing policy is the tariffs. While Washington characterized its tariffs as a means of addressing America’s many bilateral trade deficits, the US has a trade with Australia. Australians nevertheless got the same tariffs as most of the rest of the world: 10% on everything, plus an additional 25% on steel and aluminum products. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese that “a reciprocal tariff” in Australia’s case “would be zero.” Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong asked for an exemption from the steel and aluminum tariff, but Trump the appeal. The damage is not yet fatal. In an published in an Australian national newspaper, PRC Ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian gracelessly invited Aussies to “join hands” with China to “stop the hegemonic and bullying behavior of the US.” Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles , “I don’t think we’ll be holding China’s hand.” A US grand strategy that reconciles “America First” with US leadership of an Asian security architecture is possible, but we have not seen it during Trump’s first hundred days. Until that happens the two lines of effort will work against each other.",

      • "content": "A skeptical federal judge in San Francisco on Thursday questioned Meta Platforms' argument that it can legally use copyrighted works without permission to train its artificial intelligence models. In the first court hearing on a key question for the AI industry, U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria grilled lawyers for both sides over Meta's request for a ruling that it made \"fair use\" of books by Junot Diaz, comedian Sarah Silverman and others to train its Llama large language model. \"You have companies using copyright-protected material to create a product that is capable of producing an infinite number of competing products,\" Chhabria told Meta's attorneys. \"You are dramatically changing, you might even say obliterating, the market for that person's work, and you're saying that you don't even have to pay a license to that person.\" \"I just don't understand how that can be fair use,\" Chhabria said. The fair use question hangs over lawsuits brought by authors, news outlets and other copyright owners against companies including Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic. The legal doctrine allows for the use of copyrighted work without the copyright owner's permission under some circumstances. The authors in the Meta case sued in 2023, arguing the company used pirated versions of their books to train Llama without permission or compensation. Technology companies have said that being forced to pay copyright holders for their content could hamstring the burgeoning, multi-billion dollar AI industry. The defendants say their AI systems make fair use of copyrighted material by studying it to learn to create new, transformative content. Plaintiffs counter that AI companies unlawfully copy their work to generate competing content that threatens their livelihoods. Chhabria on Thursday acknowledged that Meta's use may have been transformative, but said it still may not have been fair. \"This seems like a highly unusual case in the sense that though the copying is for a highly transformative purpose, the copying has the high likelihood of leading to the flooding of the markets for the copyrighted works,\" Chhabria said. Meta attorney Kannon Shanmugam said copyright owners are not entitled to \"protection from competition in the marketplace of ideas.\" \"But if I'm going to steal things from the marketplace of ideas in order to develop my own ideas, that's copyright infringement, right?,\" Chhabria responded. Chhabria also told the plaintiffs' attorney David Boies that the lawsuit may not have adequately addressed the potential market impacts of Meta's conduct. \"I think it is taken away by fair use unless a plaintiff can show that the market for their actual copyrighted work is going to be dramatically affected,\" Chhabria said. Chhabria prodded Boies for evidence that Llama's creations would affect the market for the authors' books specifically. \"It seems like you're asking me to speculate that the market for Sarah Silverman's memoir will be affected by the billions of things that Llama will ultimately be capable of producing,\" Chhabria said. \"And it's just not obvious to me that that's the case.\"",

      • "content": "MIAMI : Oscar Piastri has leapt to the defence of McLaren teammate Lando Norris after the Briton was accused of being \"weak\" by ex-Formula One world champion Alan Jones. Jones lauded his fellow Australian as a future world champion after Piastri took the championship lead with his third grand prix victory of the season in Saudi Arabia two weekends ago. But Piastri, who is 10 points clear of Norris going into this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix, said: \"Everybody is different. For me, the most important thing is to try to do things in the style most natural to you. \"When you try to do things that aren’t your natural way of being a person that’s when things become confusing. It’s when things start to go wrong. \"Everyone handles that differently. Lando handles that quite differently to how I handle it. Probably a lot of the emotions across the grid that happen regardless of whether they’re in the public or not they’re probably pretty similar. \"I think that’s just kind of how we’re wired as people and as competitors. Obviously there’s different emotions and different ways of dealing with that. I don’t think there’s a right or wrong way. \"It’s very individual to the person. I’m quite different probably at the other end of the spectrum. If that’s what you feel is the best way of venting or trying to reset yourself then go for it.\" Since winning the season opener in Australia, Norris has struggled with the handling of this year’s McLaren. He crashed in qualifying in Jeddah denting his race hopes and has fallen behind Piastri in the championship as a result. Jones, the 1980 champion, told Fox Sports this week that he thought Norris was mentally \"quite a weak person. \"He’s coming out with all this nonsense that he’s got a bit of a mental thing, he’s dwelling on some of the problems he’s had rather than the positives. When they start talking all that nonsense, you know you’ve got them.\" (Editing by Pritha Sarkar)",

      • "content": "Juniper Networks reported an 11 per cent rise in first-quarter revenue on Thursday, driven by steady demand from cloud customers for its networking equipment, fueled by the artificial intelligence boom. The Sunnyvale, California-based company posted revenue of $1.28 billion for the quarter ended March 31, in line with analyst forecasts, according to LSEG data. On an adjusted basis, Juniper earned 43 cents per share, also in line with estimates. Companies are investing heavily in upgrading their networking infrastructure to provide advanced services and cater to a growing number of customers, benefiting the likes of Juniper and Cisco Systems. In addition to cloud customers, demand is being \"complemented by accelerated enterprise momentum, where we experienced healthy order growth across both campus and data center use cases,\" said CEO Rami Rahim. \"While the tariff environment remains dynamic, we are taking actions which we expect will help mitigate the potential impact of tariffs over time,\" CFO Ken Miller said. Juniper is in the process of being acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise for $14 billion in cash, but the U.S. Department of Justice has sued to block the deal, arguing the deal would reduce competition, raise prices and reduce innovation. In February, Juniper denied the allegations, saying that the complaint does not correctly represent the market dynamics for wireless network solutions.",
