Stefanie Sun and Kit Chan to headline free concert in August as part of Changi Airport and Jewel's SG60 events
The main highlight is the SG60 Homecoming Concert headlined by Stefanie Sun and Kit Chan. It will take place on Aug 1 at Jewel's indoor waterfall area. Joining the local music icons are Sezairi Sezali and Regina Song, The Freshman and SuperSonic.
While admission is free, a ticket is required for entry and will be distributed to the public via ballot. Further details will be announced on Changi Airport's social media channels in early July.
On Jul 27, Changi Airport will also be holding a charity walk in support of Community Chest-funded programmes for children with special needs and youths-at-risk.
It will kick off at Terminal 2's Race Village and go on a two-kilometre route along the Changi Airport Connector before ending at Terminal 4. There will be a carnival where participants can enjoy nostalgic local treats like ice cream sandwiches and gem biscuits.
Tickets are required for this event with sign-ups closing on Jul 23. Early bird specials are available until Jun 30, with exclusive discounts for Changi Airport community members. All participants will get a race pack filled with goodies including an event tee, eco-bag, and retail vouchers, which can be collected from Jul 18 to Jul 20.
For those who are unable to attend in person, a 60km virtual run challenge is available. There is also the option to donate directly to the cause via the event's official website.
In addition, Changi Airport is bringing Singapore's iconic flora and fauna to life across its terminals. Starting Jul 21, Terminal 3 will host a 270 sq m floral garden dedicated to Singapore's national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim. The floral extravaganza will include orchid varieties such as Dendrobium Changi Airport and Renanthera Singaporeans.
Over at Jewel, the Jewel Forest Valley will also be transformed into its own orchid wonderland from Aug 1 to 31, featuring more than 1,200 orchids in red and white hues.
To add to the fun, the Changi Experience Studio will have an interactive pop-up exhibition from Aug 1. The Evolution of Travel showcase will look at how air travel – and even in-flight dining – has evolved.

Rubio to attend ASEAN meeting in first Asia trip
WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will make his first trip to Asia since taking up his post, travelling this week to Malaysia for meetings with ASEAN allies, his office said on Monday (Jul 7). The trip, starting Tuesday, will see Rubio, who is also US national security advisor, focus on US policy in Asia after months of the Trump administration concentrating on the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. "In his first trip to Asia as Secretary of State, Secretary Rubio is focused on reaffirming the United States' commitment to advancing a free, open, and secure Indo-Pacific region," spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said in a statement, using Washington's traditional wording alluding to the growing influence of China in the Asia-Pacific region. As with any trip to Asia by a US official, China will be the elephant in the room amid concerns over its expansionary behaviour in the South China Sea, which the United States deems to be provocative. The visit also comes as many countries around the world are waiting for the next step in President Donald Trump's tariff wars. Sweeping levies announced in April were mostly suspended, as Washington engages in negotiations with friends and foes alike. A deadline on the tariffs is due to expire on Wednesday, with Trump suggesting elevated levies would snap back into place on Aug 1 for any trading partners who do not make a deal.

The best timepieces at Star Awards 2025: From necklace watches to blinged-out bezels
Star Awards 2025, Singapore's biggest night in television, returned in full glamour and grandeur on Jul 6, celebrating the brightest talents of local Chinese entertainment. The annual event, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, brought together actors, hosts, musicians and more for an evening of emotional speeches and striking (and sometimes questionable) fashion. Beyond the dramatic gowns and tailored suits, it was the accessories that added extra flourish – and none more so than the watches. Here's a closer look at the standout timepieces that graced the wrists (and necks) of Singapore's biggest stars. CHANTALLE NG Ng had a big role to play as host of the night, and the actress hit the red carpet wearing the Hublot Big Bang One Click in a delicate shade of mint green, adding a pop of colour to her cream gown. DESMOND TAN Tan had the honour of being the first in Singapore to wear the Zenith GFJ Watch, which launched this year at Watches & Wonders 2025. The timepiece is limited to 160 pieces worldwide in celebration of Zenith's 160th anniversary. FELICIA CHIN Perhaps inspired by Taylor Swift's Grammys look, Chin wore a timepiece around her neck, dazzling the night in the Jacob & Co Ashoka Diamond Boutique Necklace Watch. RICHIE KOH Decked out in a grey ensemble, Richie Koh kept things modern with the IWC Ingenieur Automatic 42 in black. ROMEO TAN Xu Bin's Montblanc Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph paired nicely with his cream ensemble. YE JIAYUN The model and actress paired her leather bustier look with the Cartier Clash [Un]limited bracelet watch. Pierre Png looked dapper with the Jacob & Co The World Is Yours Dual Time Zone in a striking shade of blue and rose gold on his wrist. QI YUWU The actor stood out in a sharply tailored checked suit, but it was the Jacob & Co Bugatti Tourbillon Baguette on his wrist that stole the spotlight – a jaw-dropping timepiece set with over 300 baguette-cut white diamonds.

North Korea bars Western influencers from trade fair tour
BEIJING: North Korea has barred Western influencers from joining a delegation of tourists to an international trade fair in October, a China-based tour operator told AFP on Monday (Jul 7). Diplomatically isolated North Korea has welcomed sporadic groups of international visitors in recent months, including hundreds of foreign athletes in April for the first Pyongyang International Marathon in six years. China has historically been the biggest diplomatic, economic and political backer of North Korea, which remains under crippling international sanctions. Travel agency Young Pioneer Tours (YPT) said on Saturday it would take a group of foreign tourists on a trip to the authoritarian state from Oct 24 to Nov 1. However, the tour would not be open to journalists, travel content creators or influencers, the company said on its website. YPT co-founder Rowan Beard told AFP the curbs on creators were "a specific request from the North Korean side". "We anticipate that once the country officially reopens, there may be stricter scrutiny or limitations on influencers and YouTubers joining tours," Beard said. The company had "no visibility" on when Pyongyang would restart official media delegations, he said. Several online influencers have shared slickly produced videos from inside North Korea in recent months. Chad O'Carroll, founder of specialist website NK News, said many influencers tend to have larger audiences than professional journalists, but "they are normally working without editors and tend to gain extra views through sensationalist-style content". "North Korean authorities likely see few benefits and major risks with allowing social media influencers to visit the country, given what we saw earlier this year," O'Carroll told AFP. "The result is a community of potential visitors who, in DPRK authorities' minds, are not likely to produce content that is favourable to state interests," he said, using North Korea's official name. LAVISH GIFTS The YPT tour, priced at 3,995 euros (US$4,704), will depart from the Chinese capital Beijing and take in the Pyongyang Autumn International Trade Fair, North Korea's biggest international business exhibition. Participants will have a "unique chance" to stroll through more than 450 trade booths exhibiting machinery, information technology, energy, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods and household items. YPT also said the Pyongyang Chamber of Commerce would "hold a VIP presentation for us for an in-depth overview and insights into the (North Korean) economy". The itinerary also includes major sights in Pyongyang as well as the first Western visit in more than five years to Mount Myohyang, which boasts a museum of lavish gifts presented to former North Korean leaders. Chinese people used to make up the bulk of foreign tourists and business visitors to the isolated nuclear nation before it sealed its borders during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, numbers have not rebounded despite Pyongyang's post-pandemic reopening, a trend that some analysts have attributed to Beijing's anger at North Korea's explicit support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
