S'pore honours Kinabalu guides with shoes on quake 10th anniversary
Singapore High Commissioner Vanu Gopala Menon presents shoes to Kinabalu mountain guides during his visit to Kundasang today. — Photo courtesy of Singapore Embassy KOTA KINABALU (July 24): A decade after the June 5 earthquake on Mount Kinabalu, Singapore continues to honour the bravery of the mountain guides who rescued its citizens and retrieved the bodies of victims. Marking the tenth anniversary of the 2015 Ranau earthquake, Singapore's High Commissioner to Malaysia, Vanu Gopala Menon, visited Kundasang near here today. He met with members of the Persatuan Malim Gunung Kinabalu (Kinabalu Mountain Guides Association) and presented them with 30 pairs of shoes. This symbolic gift expressed deep appreciation for the guides' courageous actions during the tragedy, protecting and rescuing climbers. 'The tragic Sabah earthquake in 2015 affected many lives, including Singaporeans,' Vanu stated in a statement. 'My team and I came to honour the mountain guides who played a vital role in rescuing climbers and recovering the deceased.' He highlighted Singapore's enduring gratitude: 'In 2016, we hosted a reception to thank the guides and kept in touch. Ten years later, we continue to express our gratitude. Their courage will not be forgotten.' Vanu also thanked the Malaysian and Sabah governments for their assistance during the disaster. 'Singapore and Malaysia are close neighbours. As neighbours, we help one another, especially in difficult situations. In times of tragedy, we looked beyond nationalities and treated each other as people first.' The 2015 earthquake claimed 18 lives on the mountain, including seven students from Singapore's Tanjong Katong Primary School and four guides.

HK lyricist Peter Lai, 75, wants a soulmate, says son treats him like a stranger
Hong Kong lyricist Peter Lai is on the lookout for a soulmate, with marriage in mind. Photo: China Press Hong Kong lyricist and actor Peter Lai recently opened up about his personal life, including his relationship with his son from a previous marriage that ended in 1992. In an interview with HK01, Lai, 75, described his son as someone who 'mooches off the elderly'. He revealed that he had spent over HK$100,000 (RM53,716) to fund the younger man's four-year Traditional Chinese Medicine studies in Nanjing – only for the latter to fail to graduate. 'He was just messing around. I'd bet 99% that's what happened, so he didn't graduate. It was a waste of time and money… But whatever, that's all in the past now,' he said. Despite the disappointment, Lai continued to help his son pay off his credit card debts over the past two years. He cleared the full amount last month. Lai then expressed frustration over his now 37-year-old son's lifestyle, saying the latter spends his days playing video games and rarely speaks to him. 'He doesn't even bother talking to me. We might as well be strangers,' he lamented. Given the circumstances, it's no surprise that Lai would feel lonely at times. He shared that he's now looking for a 'soulmate' and is openly putting himself out there, with marriage in mind. 'If Lee Lung Kei can do it, why can't I?' he said. For context, Lee, 73, is a former TVB actor who made headlines in recent years for his relationship with his 37-year-old fiancee Chris Wong. When asked if he's concerned about his son's future after he's gone, Lai bluntly said his son can fend for himself. 'If I'm gone, he can sleep under a bridge. He's not going to die. He can just apply for public housing or something.' Lai is regarded as part of the pioneer generation of Cantopop lyricists in Hong Kong. He has written songs for some of the city's biggest stars – including Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam and more.
