1939 Singapore, formerly Potato Head Singapore, to close for good this month
It feels like just yesterday we were buzzing over the launch of 1939 Singapore – the multi-concept venue that took over Potato Head Singapore at Keong Saik Road. But less than six months since the announcement, the team has confirmed its upcoming closure this month.
For those who never got around to visiting the space, 1939 is split across four floors: the Front Porch on level one, The Restaurant on level two, the cocktail bar Studio 1939 on level three, and The Rooftop on level four. The first level is also where you'll find the beloved Potato Head Three Buns burgers, such as the popular Fun Boy Three. Much of its predecessor's charm was preserved – from the signature hand-painted murals by artist David Bromley to the winding checkered staircase, dotted with vintage bits and bobs.
1939 Singapore's last day of operations is slated for May 31, 2025. While the reason for the closure was not revealed, all four levels will remain open right up till its final day. If you've been meaning to swing by, this is your final two weeks to do so.

Car maker Lotus says it has no plans to close English factory
LONDON, June 28 (Reuters) - British-based sportscar company Lotus said it has no plans to close a factory in eastern England, following a report in the Financial Times which said manufacturing there could end with the loss of 1,300 jobs. "Lotus Cars is continuing normal operations, and there are no plans to close the factory," Lotus said in an emailed statement on Saturday. "We are actively exploring strategic options to enhance efficiency and ensure global competitiveness in the evolving market." Lotus is owned by China's Geely ( and Malaysia's Etika Automotive and the brand produces cars in Britain and China. Any closure of the factory in Hethel, Norfolk, would have been a blow for Britain's auto industry which is suffering as a result of tariffs imposed by the United States. Britain's vehicle production dropped 32.8% from a year ago industry data showed on Friday. The Financial Times said the government had intervened to signal it would offer Lotus support after news emerged that the factory could shut, but the Department for Business and Trade did not confirm that. "The government does not comment on speculation or the commercial affairs of private companies," a spokesperson for the department said on Saturday. While Britain has negotiated a trade deal with the U.S. which will reduce the tariffs for a quota of exported vehicles, it does not come into force until the end of June. Meanwhile, car makers have reported lower output and exports to both the U.S. and the European Union, according to economic data.

Jim Cramer on NVIDIA Stock: 'I Don't See It Tripling From Here'
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the 11 stocks Jim Cramer put under the microscope recently. The company was mentioned during the episode, and here's what Mad Money's host had to say: 'If the semis became like the oils in 1980, then tech would… account for about 60% of the S&P 500. I think that's unrealistic… I just think we gotta curb our enthusiasm a little bit, and everyone knows I love the sector. It's hard to accept that a stock like NVIDIA, currently the largest company in the world, could double or even triple if Reitzes' (Ben Reitzes, Managing Director and Head of Technology Research at Melius Research) bullish forecast comes to life.
