TBR (To Be Read): Should S'pore authors be paid each time their books are borrowed from the library?
SINGAPORE – Being an author is tough anywhere, but especially so in S ingapore, which has recently ranked among the most expensive cities.
Local publishers cannot afford the six-figure advances doled out in larger markets. Floundering book sales hardly guarantee sufficient payment, unless one's name is Sonny Liew, author of all-time bestseller The Art Of Charlie Chan Hock Chye (2015).

HK's Kenny Bee, Eric Tsang distance themselves from Malaysia's Namewee after taking group photo
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Namewee (in dark glasses) in a now-deleted photo of himself with Kenny Bee (first from right) and Eric Tsang (second from left). Hong Kong singer Kenny Bee and Hong Kong actor Eric Tsang have swiftly distanced themselves from controversial Malaysian rapper-actor Namewee after a group photo of them was criticised by netizens. Bee and Tsang, both 72, were recently in Malaysia as part of the line-up of Hong Kong stars performing at the Wow! Super! Happy 30 Years concert at Resorts World Genting on July 19. Namewee, 42, took a photo with the pair before the show and posted it on social media on July 19, writing: 'Wishing you a successful performance tonight.' The photo of the trio together made waves on social media, with several netizens slamming Bee and Tsang for being associated with Namewee, whose full name is Wee Meng Chee. The hip-hop artiste has been blacklisted in China since the release of his satirical single Fragile in 2021. The track was said to be full of barbed references to Chinese President Xi Jinping and China-related issues, such as the political status of Taiwan and censorship in China. Bee, the lead vocalist of pop group The Wynners, took to Chinese social media platform Weibo on July 20, sharing a photo of himself with a statement. 'As a Chinese, I have shown patriotism through my strong actions and firmly upheld the dignity of the country and national sentiment,' he wrote in Chinese. 'Recently, during an event in Genting, Malaysia, I took a photo with a certain person without noticing that it caused a misunderstanding.' Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Without naming Namewee in the post, Bee said: 'If I had known his position earlier, I would never have had any contact with him. This incident was an unintentional mistake and does not mean that I agree with his views.' Tsang, the host of Hong Kong variety series Super Trio (1995 to present) also posted a similar statement on Weibo on July 21, adding: 'Once again, I express my deepest apologies to everyone.' Namewee has deleted the photo with Bee and Tsang from his social media accounts. In a now-deleted statement on Facebook, Namewee wrote in Chinese: 'In order not to affect the peace and stability of the 'motherland' as well as the safety of our comrades in Hong Kong in the Greater Bay Area, we have removed the previous post and photos.'

Israel sends tanks into Gaza's Deir Al-Balah, raising concerns among hostages' families
Find out what's new on ST website and app. At least three Palestinians were killed and several were wounded in tank shelling that hit eight houses and three mosques in Deir Al-Balah. CAIRO - Israeli tanks pushed into southern and eastern areas of the Gazan city of Deir Al-Balah for the first time on July 21, an area where Israeli sources said the military believes some of the remaining hostages may be being held. Gaza medics said at least three Palestinians were killed and several were wounded in tank shelling that hit eight houses and three mosques in the area, and which came a day after the military ordered residents to leave , saying it planned to fight Hamas militants. The raid and bombardment pushed dozens of families who had remained to flee and head west towards the coastal area of Deir Al-Balah and nearby Khan Younis. In Khan Younis, earlier on July 21, an Israeli airstrike killed at least five people, including a man, his wife, and their two children, in a tent, medics said. There was no immediate Israeli comment on the Deir Al-Balah and Khan Younis incidents. Israel's military said it had not entered the districts of Deir Al-Balah subject to the evacuation order during the current conflict and that it was continuing "to operate with great force to destroy the enemy's capabilities and terrorist infrastructure in the area." Israeli sources have said the reason the army has so far stayed out is that they suspect Hamas might be holding hostages there. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Families of the hostages expressed their concern for their relatives and demanded an explanation from the army of how it would protect them. The military escalation comes as Gaza health officials warned of potential "mass deaths" in the coming days due to mounting hunger, which has killed at least 19 people since July 19, according to the territory's health ministry. Health officials said hospitals were running out of fuel, food aid, and medicine, risking a halt to vital operations. Health ministry spokesman, Mr Khalil Al-Deqran, said medical staff have been depending on one meal a day, and that hundreds of people flock to hospitals every day, suffering from fatigue and exhaustion because of hunger. At least 67 people were killed by Israeli fire on July 20 as they waited for UN aid trucks to enter Gaza. Israel's military said its troops had fired warning shots towards a crowd of thousands of people in northern Gaza to remove what it said was "an immediate threat." It said initial findings suggested reported casualty figures were inflated, and it "certainly does not intentionally target humanitarian aid trucks." The new raid and escalating number of fatalities appeared to be complicating ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel that are being mediated by Qatar and Egypt, with US backing. A Hamas official told Reuters on July 20 that the militant group was angered over the mounting deaths and the hunger crisis in the enclave, and that this could badly affect ceasefire talks underway in Qatar. Israel and Hamas are engaged in indirect talks in Doha aimed at reaching a 60-day truce and hostage deal, although there has been no sign of breakthrough. UNRWA, the UN refugee agency dedicated to Palestinians, said in a post on X on July 21, it was receiving desperate messages from Gaza warning of starvation, including from its own staff as food prices have increased 40-fold. "Meanwhile, just outside Gaza, stockpiled in warehouses UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months. Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale," it said. Israel's military said on July 20 that it "views the transfer of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip as a matter of utmost importance, and works to enable and facilitate its entry in coordination with the international community." The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed into Israel on Oct 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages back to Gaza, according to Israeli tallies. The Israeli military campaign against Hamas in Gaza has since killed more than 58,000 Palestinians, according to health officials, displaced almost the entire population and plunged the enclave into a humanitarian crisis.

Australia unveils $11.7 million in funding to fight algal bloom crisis
Find out what's new on ST website and app. A dead ornate cowfish seen along the shore at Victor Harbour in South Australia. Australia's government has unveiled an assistance package of at least A$14 million (S$11.7 million) to help tackle a growing algal bloom crisis off the southern coast that is killing marine life and damaging regional fisheries. Environment Minister Murray Watt announced the funding package in the southern city of Adelaide on July 21 after inspecting the damage. He described the unfolding natural disaster as 'a very serious event'. The outbreak of the algal bloom in South Australia state was sparked by the Karenia mikimotoi plankton and was first detected in mid-March. Since then, it has spread across thousands of square kilometres into waterways near Adelaide. It has now developed into an event of 'unprecedented scale, duration and impact', the state government said. 'Nothing can be done to dilute or dissipate the bloom.' Mr Watt said the federal funding was intended to help clear dead wildlife and provide assistance for tourism and fisheries, as well as longer-term prevention measures. 'There's clearly a need to invest more in science and research about this event,' he said. Since the start of 2025, a citizen scientist website cataloguing marine wildlife deaths along the South Australian coast has received more than 13,000 reports of dead wildlife. In the fiscal year ending June 2024, South Australia's seafood industry brought in more than A$478 million for the state, including the rock lobster industry that had only just received approval to resume exports to China.

Experts have warned that climate change is increasing the risk of dangerous algal blooms around the world by warming oceans and changing weather patterns. The natural disaster could undermine Australia's pitch to host the 2026 United Nations climate summit in Adelaide . The federal government has been touting South Australia's high renewable energy penetration as it competes with Turkey for the event, but the bloom is drawing attention to gaps in how the state manages environmental crises.
