Superstar Jacky Cheung gets lesson in humility from guard
NOT everyone recognises Hong Kong superstar Jacky Cheung (pic), as the singer recounts being denied entry to his own concert in Macau, reported China Press. A security guard stopped the 63-year-old when he tried to enter the Galaxy Arena venue in Macau last week and demanded Cheung show identification indicating that he was a performer. Stunned, the 'God of Songs' pointed at a poster nearby to show that he was to perform there that evening, but the guard would not relent. 'I sincerely think he was just being very professional at his job,' Cheung said. Apparently, this was not the first time security personnel failed to recognise him. Cheung was previously denied entry at one of his concerts in mainland China. 'Don't think of yourself as a legend. Instead, see yourself as a new performer every day. Only then can you improve. 'This experience taught me to continue practising singing and learning how to do the splits. Do not worry, everyone. Jacky Cheung will not stop and will keep on working and improving,' he said. > A woman in Sibu who just wanted to buy a Nyonya meal worth RM3.50 ended up having RM17,530 from her bank account stolen, the daily also reported. The incident happened in May when the woman saw an advertisement on Facebook for a set meal for Nyonya fried chicken and vegetables for just RM3.50. She called the number on the advertisement and ordered five sets of the meal deal. The caterer later sent her a WhatsApp link to redeem vouchers worth RM30. When she clicked on the link, her phone suddenly switched off. By the time she restarted her phone, RM17,530 had been transferred out of her bank account in five transactions. Friends also alerted her that her WhatsApp account had been used to send messages asking to borrow money from all her contacts. Realising that she had been scammed, the woman then made a police report. The above article is compiled from the vernacular newspapers (Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese and Tamil dailies).

With a name like "Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee", this stall at Whampoa Makan Place has a lot to live up to – not to mention it was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand for "good quality" and "good value cooking". Unfortunately, it seems to fall short of expectations, especially if you take a look at the Google reviews. So what went wrong with this plate of hokkien mee? According to a food reviewer, there was an imbalance between the sweet and savoury flavours, and the prawn stock's characteristic brininess was frustratingly faint. There was also a notable lack of wok hei and pork lard was only served upon request. To find out more about the disappointing Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee, read here. Apple's week-long Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicked off on Monday (9 June) with a keynote and here are all the highlights. The announcements aren't that splashy but the biggest one is probably the new iOS 26, which brings with it the largest software design overhaul for Apple since iOS 7 in 2013. All new Apple devices will get a new look dubbed "Liquid Glass" – one that was inspired by the Vision Pro's translucent software display. The new design will feature see-through visuals that appear to have a glossy surface. The new iOS 26 also marks the start of a new OS naming convention for Apple. The name of Apple's operating system typically increases by 1 each year, but it'll now be OS 26 for all of their devices. This brings the naming convention in line with the year in which customers will use it. Apple Intelligence is also getting some updates with the biggest announcement being that it'll open up its on-device AI model to third-party app developers. It'll also use the technology to improve other functions of the phone, such as Apple Maps, which will now remember users' preferred routes and tailor directions for them – which means that your coffee runs will no longer be a detour. However, Apple didn't reveal more on its plans for a more capable, AI-enhanced Siri. This was first announced at last year's WWDC but later indefinitely delayed. For more announcements from the Apple WWDC 2025, read here. A US judge dismissed actor Justin Baldoni's US$400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively on Monday (9 June). Lively had accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her while filming the 2024 movie It Ends With Us, and Baldoni's lawsuit was a response to that. She still seeks unspecified triple and punitive damages, and a March 2026 trial remains scheduled. The judge also dismissed another related $250 million lawsuit from Baldoni against the New York Times for its 21 Dec, 2024 article on their dispute titled "'We Can Bury Anyone': Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine". For more on Justin Baldoni's legal loss and the judge's explanation of the dismissal, read here. A study by the National Institute of Education (NIE) aims to examine how the well-being of girls, who are at greater risk of stress and problematic behaviours, are affected by life in Singapore's top schools. There will be 4,200 secondary school girls recruited from the study. Participants will be recruited from three girls' school and one co-ed school in Singapore. The inclusion of the co-ed school was to recruit a smaller group of boys for comparison, explained the study's lead investigator, Dr Jacqueline Lee Tilley. Researchers have defined a top school as as schools where students consistently perform well in national exams or co-curricular activities. This study is the first of its kind in Singapore and will be conducted over three years, from 2025 to 2028. The four schools were not been named, but The Straits Times understands that Methodist Girls' School is one of them. For more on the NIE study and how it'll be conducted, read here.
