The Arts Education Programme by the National Arts Council (NAC) is taking things one step further to extend the initiative to all preschools by 2027. This means little ones may watch a performance out of the classroom, or even attend workshops conducted at their pre-school. Andrea Heng and Susan Ng find out more from Benjamin Ho, Artistic Director of Paper Monkeys Theatre.

Thousands, including PAP MPs, WP MPs and Li Huanwu, gather to celebrate Pink Dot 2025
SINGAPORE: Thousands of supporters gathered at Hong Lim Park on Saturday (28 June) for the 17th edition of Pink Dot SG, Singapore's annual rally in support of the LGBTQ+ community. This year's theme, 'Different Stories, Same Love,' set the tone for a warm atmosphere as participants waved pink flags, posed for photos, and shared personal stories celebrating love in all its forms. The event, a fixture in Singapore's civic calendar, saw a presence from both sides of the political aisle. From the People's Action Party (PAP), Potong Pasir SMC MP Alex Yeo and Sembawang GRC MP Ng Shi Xuan were seen mingling with attendees. The Workers' Party (WP) was represented by Sengkang GRC MPs Louis Chua and He Ting Ru, both of whom declined to speak to the media. Among the crowd were familiar faces including Li Huanwu and his husband Heng Yirui. Mr Li, the son of Lee Hsien Yang and grandson of Singapore's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, has been an outspoken supporter of LGBTQ+ rights in recent years. Speaking to the media, Pink Dot spokesman Clement Tan said this year's rally aimed to look beyond the present and inspire future generations. A highlight of the afternoon was the unveiling of a time capsule on site, containing nearly 70 items donated by community members — from jewellery and clothing to letters and mementos. 'This time capsule serves as a reminder of the love and resilience that has carried us this far,' Mr Tan said, 'We want to send a message of hope to future Singaporeans: that all forms of love are valid and that our relationships should be celebrated equally.' The capsule will remain sealed until 2050, when organisers hope it will be opened as a testament to how far Singapore has come in embracing diversity.

On The Red Dot: Finding Lost Recipes
In every home, there are dishes tied not just to flavour, but to memory — lovingly made by someone who may no longer be around. But when that person is gone, can their signature dish ever be brought back? In this series, we follow Masterchef alumnus Jonathan Ng as he helps four individuals on deeply personal quests to rediscover dishes that meant the world to them. For actress Hong Ling, it's the emotional taste of her late mother's Thai-style laksa — a dish that no one else in the family knows how to make. For Belinda, it's a race against time. Her mother Katherine, who once made a unique Nyonya chang (dumpling) every festive season, is slowly losing her memory to dementia. Can the flavours — and the stories that come with them — be recovered before they fade completely? For Kim, who lost her husband Joseph unexpectedly, it's isn't just about the dish. It's about honouring the man who made Hakka Yong Tau Foo not just a meal, but a way of bringing people together — and understanding how he added his own twist to the dish he loved. And for Claresta, it's chasing a taste she can't quite describe — the elusive magic behind her late husband Chef Stefan Liau's Cashew and Banana creation. Even with the original recipe in hand, something is missing. Can Jonathan decode the secret behind the flavour — and the man?
