When a Father Says He Has “No Time”: Qi Yuwu, Honesty, and the Uneasy Truth About Modern Parenting
When Singapore actor Qi Yuwu openly shared that he does not spend much time with his children, the reaction was immediate and divided. Some found his words refreshingly honest; others felt uncomfortable, even critical. Yet beyond the headlines and soundbites, his comments open up a deeper and often unspoken conversation about modern parenthood, masculinity, and emotional presence. Speaking candidly on a podcast, Qi Yuwu admitted that even when he is at home, he does not alway

Local Story, Global Voice: When Silence Speaks Loudest
In a society that prizes speed, fluency, and constant output, silence is often mistaken for absence. We move on quickly when conversations slow, when sentences stumble, when words do not arrive on cue. Yet on 13 December 2025, at Singapore Management University, a full-house audience was asked to do something quietly radical: to sit with silence, to observe it, and to listen to what it carries. The premiere of Can You Hear Me? was not simply a cultural event — it was a momen

At the centre of this nightly ritual is Lexus Durian King, a heartland durian seller that has quietly reshaped how Singaporeans experience premium durians. Best known for its Musang King (Mao Shan Wang) offerings, Lexus Durian King has built a reputation

In a time when speed, productivity, and spectacle dominate much of contemporary culture, WUSHIREN’s Contemplative Body Lab offers a rare and deliberate pause. Held at the WUSHIREN Studio, the lab unfolds not as a conventional workshop, but as an invitation — to slow down, to sense, and to listen to the body as a site of perception, memory, and imagination.

When Community Meets Art: How Grassroots Support Brought a Weekend of Music and Theatre to Life
In conversations about community building, the arts are often treated as secondary—pleasant, but optional. Yet over one carefully curated weekend at Geylang Serai Community Club, it became clear that none of the music, theatre or shared cultural moments would have been possible without the active support of grassroots activists who chose to place the arts at the centre of community life. This was not a weekend that happened by chance. It was the result of grassroots leaders i

Seeking a “Model Answer” in a Life Without One
There may be model answers in examinations, but life itself offers none. This was the central reflection behind Model Answer (《模范答案》), the latest publication by Singapore theatre practitioner and writer Lim Hai Yen, which was officially launched on 14 December 2025. Rooted in lived experience rather than theory, the book grew out of Lim’s journey accompanying her three children through different stages of life — and, in the process, re-examining her own understanding of fami
