A 60-year-old Singaporean man was fined S$4,000 on Nov. 12 after he molested a 20-year-old student nurse posted to a local health facility while he was there.

The Straits Times (ST) reported that Tan Kiah Chye, who was also ordered to pay the nurse S$1,000 in compensation, pleaded guilty to outraging her modesty.

A gag order was imposed on the woman to protect her identity, as well as the health facility.

Molest

Charge sheets seen by Mothership stated that Tan, who uses a wheelchair, wheeled himself towards the woman at about 9:39am on May 19 and slapped her left buttock over her pants.

He then apologised after she turned around, ST reported, adding that the woman later made a police report.

Tan was subsequently arrested in June.

Emotional trauma

ST reported that following the incident, the woman suffered emotional trauma, the deputy public prosecutor (DPP) told the court.

He said: "The accused outraged the modesty of a student who was training to be a healthcare worker.

Those convicted of molestation can be jailed for up to three years, fined or caned, or receive any combination of such punishments.

Those aged 50 and above are exempted from caning.

A Singaporean couple abandoned 71 cats in their squalid Bukit Panjang flat for nearly two years without adequate food or water, leading to the death of nine cats.

On Nov. 12, Nurul Nadiah Noor Mohamed was handed 16 weeks' jail after pleading guilty to 24 charges for permitting the causing of unnecessary pain and suffering to the animals.

The 33-year-old was also disqualified from pet ownership for 12 months, reported The Straits Times (ST).

Her now ex-husband, Muhammad Khairul Naim Zainol, 37, had previously pleaded guilty to the same number of charges and was jailed for 16 weeks on Sep. 23.

The couple's actions were uncovered after a neighbour reported a distressed and skinny cat on the unit's air-conditioning ledge to the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS).

The authorities found a total of 61 living cats, three carcasses, six skulls and a bag of bones upon examination of the flat, excluding the cat found on the ledge.

Unsterilised cats bred rapidly

The couple did not own any pets prior to purchasing their flat in March 2018. They acquired several unsterilised cats in early 2019.

The cats "bred uncontrollably", and despite rehoming attempts, their numbers ballooned.

The couple left their flat and moved in with Khairul's parents, abandoning the cats in the unit.

Due to unpaid utility bills, a few months later, the flat's water and electricity supply were cut off.

Khairul allegedly returned to the flat daily to leave dry kibble and water.

However, he stopped once it became more difficult to enter the unit and resorted to leaving the food and water at the unit's doorstep.

According to ST, Nurul followed her then-husband to most of these visits.

The last time he entered his flat was sometime in December 2023.

Khairul also claimed that he re-visited the unit's doorstep to place dry food on the morning of Feb. 20, 2024.

Cat on the aircon ledge

On Feb. 20, 2024, AVS and the police were separately alerted to the unit.

AVS received feedback that morning about a cat seen on the air-conditioning ledge of the unit. It was rescued by neighbours residing one floor below the unit and later taken to a vet clinic.

The police had received a call about a smell emanating from the unit.

AVS officers noted the dry kibble on the floor near the door entrance and a lack of fresh water supply.

Only one small container of water was claimed to have been provided by Khairul daily.

Court documents noted that there was one decomposing carcass with maggots seen in the living room.

There were also a few cats free-roaming in the unit, with several of them hiding under the mattress or curtains.

The floor and furniture were caked in excreta and dirt. Faecal material was found throughout the flat, and there was a strong ammonia smell.

A report by an NParks veterinarian stated that all 61 cats found inside the unit experienced pain and suffering, and all cats were found to be dehydrated on physical examination.

44 cats had a Body Condition Score which showed they were thin or very thin. Nine cats were found to be emaciated.

Sentencing

According to ST, a sentence of between 16 and 24 weeks' jail was sought by the prosecution for Nurul, who cited that this was not a momentary lapse of care.

Nurul's lawyer noted that she had made attempts to rehome the cats in mitigation.

The lawyer added that she was facing financial issues and caring for her ailing father, asking for a sentence of between eight and a half weeks and 16 weeks.

The district judge called the case one of the most egregious cases of animal hoarding when it comes to its scale and duration, reported ST.

He said this meant a stiffer sentence was warranted.

The Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) operator said it takes the deliberate manipulation of the machines and fraudulent claims seriously.

This was after a man was filmed scanning the barcode of a container repeatedly and returning other containers.

He repeated the process several times and successfully returned multiple cans.

Takes fraudulent claims seriously

A BCRS Ltd spokesperson told Mothership on Nov. 13 in response to media queries that it is aware of the videos circulating online showing an individual depositing ineligible containers into a Return Right machine after scanning an eligible container bearing the 10-cent deposit mark.

"The 10-cent deposit refund is intended for eligible beverage containers returned through the Beverage Container Return Scheme," the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson added: "As the scheme operator, our priority is to ensure the system functions reliably and fairly for everyone.

"This includes validating refund claims and reconciling transaction records to guard against fraud, in accordance with our operating license."

The spokesperson emphasised that deliberate manipulation of the machines or fraudulent claims is taken seriously, as it undermines the trust of members of the public who are genuinely trying to recycle and return right.

Safeguard integrity of scheme

In a separate reply to Mothership, an NEA spokesperson said the agency takes a serious view of any deliberate misuse of the Return Right machines under BCRS.

"We have reminded the scheme operator, BCRS Ltd., to take appropriate measures to safeguard the integrity of the scheme and address any deliberate misuse of the Return Right machines," the spokesperson said.

"NEA will continue to work with BCRS Ltd. to review the system and strengthen safeguards where necessary, so that the scheme operates as intended," the spokesperson added.

"We also urge the public to use the Return Right machines responsibly in support of our national recycling efforts."

24-hour CCTV surveillance

The BCRS Ltd spokesperson added that it has since worked with Return Network Operators (RPNOs) to calibrate the Return Right machines to address the issue and will continue strengthening safeguards across the return network.

The spokesperson noted that all its Return Right machines are equipped with digital transaction logs, 24-hour CCTV surveillance and fraud detection technology

"We also regularly monitor data across our return network to detect any anomalous transaction patterns, and any fraudulent behaviour would be referred to the relevant authorities for investigation and appropriate action," the spokesperson said.

"We appreciate the community's vigilance and urge members of the public to report suspected misuse of Return Right machines directly to BCRS Ltd. Please continue using the machines as intended to support our national recycling effort."

A 56-year-old man was found dead in his Toa Payoh flat after a neighbour noticed he had not left home for two days.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the neighbour had also noticed that the lights in the unit remained off and there was a foul odour, prompting him to ask a young passer-by to call the police.

In response to Mothership's queries, the police confirmed receiving a call for assistance at Block 52 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh at around 9:50am on Nov. 11.

A 56-year-old man was found lying motionless in a residential unit and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Based on investigations, the police do not suspect foul play.

Upon arriving at the scene, a Shin Min reporter noted that the unit was locked with a chain, the wooden door was slightly ajar and the upper half of the window louvres was open.

A strong stench could still be smelled up close, and a bicycle and a power-assisted bicycle were parked outside.

Man lived alone

Speaking to Shin Min, the neighbour said the man lived alone, and often rode the bicycle parked at the door to work.

He added that the man appeared to do odd jobs and did not have a full-time job.

"I’ve lived here for 20 years, and this man has lived here for a long time. Back then, he lived with his mother and younger brother," the neighbour said.

However, the man and his brother did not seem to be on good terms, the neighbour said, and the brother moved out after their mother died.

He added that the man kept to himself — he never saw any friends visit, and the brother never came by.

He also described the man as having had a simple routine: he rode out to work during the day, and watched TV dramas or listened to the radio at home in the evenings.

The female cyclist, 37, killed in the Katong tipper truck accident on Nov. 11 was reportedly on her way to pick up her child.

According to Shin Min Daily News (Shin Min), a witness at the scene told reporters that she had heard the woman was on her way to pick up her child.

A construction site had taken up part of the footpath, and pedestrians had to walk around the site through a temporary walkway to return to the footpath and cross the road.

Shin Min’s reporter also observed that in about 10 minutes, at least two cyclists rode along the Amber Gardens road without using the temporary walkway.

The accident occurred at the junction of Amber Road and Amber Gardens at around 3:15pm that day, and the 37-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force paramedic.

The driver of the tipper truck, 47, was arrested for driving without reasonable consideration causing death.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Road safety is a shared responsibility: MP

The MP for Marine Parade–Braddell Heights, Goh Pei Ming, said in a Facebook post that he was saddened to hear about the fatal accident, and called it "heartbreaking".

He encouraged pedestrians and drivers to take greater care to ensure road safety and to stay alert.

Goh also stated that he has received suggestions from residents about how the traffic situation in the area could be improved, and that he is working with the Land Transport Authority to look into these concerns.

"Everyone deserves to get home safely. Let’s look out for one another on our roads."

Nouvelle Chua Ruoshi, the woman who filmed the fatal abuse of four-year-old Megan Khung and helped dispose of her body afterwards, was sentenced to 13 years' jail on Nov. 13.

The 36-year-old previously pleaded guilty to conspiring to abuse Megan, disposing of her corpse, and taking drugs.

On Nov. 13, she was sentenced on all three charges.

Chua appeared in court on Friday (Nov. 13) dressed fully in black, including a mask and cap.

The courtroom's public seating was filled.

Megan's mother, Foo Li Ping and Foo's boyfriend Wong Shi Xiang, were previously sentenced to 19 years' and 30 years' jail, respectively, on Apr. 3, 2025.

They were then 29 and 38 years old, respectively, during sentencing.

Sentencing submissions

The prosecution initially sought 13.5 years' jail for Chua, while the defence sought six years and four months' jail.

During a tense hearing on Oct. 26, both parties sparred on the nature of Chua's culpability, with the prosecutor noting that Chua, alongside Foo and Wong, had robbed Megan of "basic dignity" over a prolonged duration of abuse.

This included occasions where Chua participated in the abuse, such as the mucus-eating incident and when she paraded Megan in public with make up on her face, and her recordings of the abusive acts, which he said had "minimal difference" to the abuse committed by Foo and Wong.

Finally, Chua participated in "achieving the final objective" of disposing of Megan's body, despite not being the orchestrator of the plans.

The defence, represented by lawyers from Trident Law, alluded to Chua being less culpable than her co-accused as she did not physically abuse Megan in any way.

The defence lawyer also pointed out that Chua freed Megan from the planter box during some of her visits and argued that she only helped dispose of Megan's body "on the instructions of Wong and Foo".

However, after being told by the judge that Chua had pleaded guilty to conspiring with Foo and Wong to abuse Megan, the defence was asked to file further submissions on the charges to be taken into consideration.

Sentencing decisions

During the sentencing hearing on Nov. 13, the judge noted that the defence had asked for a 30 per cent discount to her sentence, arguing that Chua had pleaded guilty early.

But the judge dismissed this, saying that she pleaded guilty more than a year after Foo and Wong did, and the couple did not get a full 30 per cent discount.

He also disagreed with Chua's plea for a lower sentence because she was less involved in the disposal.

He argued that her culpability in aiding in the disposal was not less than Wong and Foo.

Chua had known Megan's body remained in a box for two months as the couple plotted to get rid of it, and she was the one who bought the joss sticks and vinegar to help mask the smell of decomposition, the judge noted.

Neither was Chua less culpable than Foo in terms of abusing Megan, he found.

While she did not directly inflict abuse on Megan, she was not just a passive audience, but filmed the acts on at least six occasions, he said, adding that Megan was filmed in "extreme states of deprivation".

The judge also pointed out that by filming the abuse, including on some occasions where Megan was naked, Chua had created the risk of circulation of the clips to others who may derive perverted pleasure from watching them.

It was not explained why she had filmed the videos, nor whether they were shared with Foo, Wong, or anyone else.

For the disposal charge, Chua was handed five years and six months' imprisonment.

She received another six years and six months' jail for conspiring with Foo and Wong to abuse Megan, and one year's jail for consuming drugs.

All three sentences are to run consecutively.

In total, the judge sentenced Chua to 13 years' jail, backdated to her date of arrest on Jul. 24, 2020.

It also excludes the period she has been out on bail, which began on Aug. 13, 2020.

Chua was seen in tears after the sentence was delivered.

In his concluding remarks, the judge acknowledged a letter Chua had personally written and submitted to the court, though its contents are not known.

He also encouraged her to use her time in prison to reflect on her actions.

Chua was then taken into custody.

Abuse of Megan Khung

Foo and Wong had subjected young Megan to severe physical and psychological abuse over a period of 13 months.

They caned and hit the child repeatedly, starved her, and humiliated her by shaving her head and drawing on her face before parading her in public.

Chua's culpability in the abuse of Megan Khung

The offences were committed from February 2019 onwards in a unit at the Suites@ Guillemard condominium in Paya Lebar rented by the couple.

Chua was a friend of Foo and Wong and frequently visited the couple with her daughter, at times even staying over on weekends.

She was also entrusted with the care of the girl, whom she brought out with her own daughter.

She had noticed bruises on Megan since November 2019, but did not do anything to stop the abuse.

On some occasions, Chua noticed Megan was bleeding from the caning.

On one occasion, she covered her in a long-sleeve t-shirt to hide the bruises so Foo and Wong’s abuse would not be exposed, prosecutors previously said in court.

Phone recordings

Chua sometimes recorded the abuse on her mobile phone.

The clips were played in court during a previous hearing. In some of them, Megan was naked with visible bruises covering her emancipated body.

She was often seen crying and begging her abusers for leniency.

She also repeatedly asked for a T-shirt from Foo while naked in one clip, but was ignored.

In one instance, Chua could be heard telling Foo to make Megan eat her mucus after the girl complained she was hungry.

Foo then blew her nose into a handkerchief before forcefully smearing it on Megan's tongue.

In another video, Chua and Wong paraded the crying girl in public while Megan's face had red marks drawn all over it as punishment for playing with make up.

"Let's go gai gai (outing in Mandarin)," Chua could be heard saying jovially over the video.

The day Megan Khung died

On the night of Feb. 21, 2020, the day prior to her death, Megan was fatally punched in the stomach by Wong after being scolded.

The impact caused her back to hit the wall 10cm away with a loud thud.

Past midnight, Chua arrived at the unit to see Megan lying on the bedroom floor, clutching her stomach and saying she was in pain.

When Chua told Foo and Wong about this, the couple dismissed it, saying the child was just trying to get attention.

The three then gathered in the living room to take drugs together.

Hours later, Chua saw Megan in the same position and alerted Foo, who found some vomit with "clear membrane and black contents" beside Megan.

The three tried to wake Megan, but she was unresponsive.

They then took turns performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on Megan but were unsuccessful.

Disposing the corpse

Megan's body was left in the unit for months with the air-conditioning turned on.

After the couple decided on what to do with her body, Chua was instructed by Wong to buy vinegar and other items used to mask the smell of decomposition.

They also ordered a custom-made barrel to burn Megan's body, while Wong wrapped the corpse using a blanket, then layers of cling wrap, and brown tape, before putting it in a Toyogo storage box.

On May. 8, 2020, the three adults collected the barrel and two boxes of charcoal that were procured on Wong's instructions.

Chua then drove Wong to the residence with knowledge of Wong's and Foo's plans to dispose of the corpse.

At 5:25am that day, they returned to the unit to collect the box containing Megan's corpse.

At 6:10am, Wong set up the metal barrel at an open area near his godfather's workshop in Ubi and burnt Megan's corpse in it.

Foo and Chua brought incense paper over and they also burned that in the barrel for several hours.

After the fire stopped, Wong brought the ashes to East Coast Park in a trash bag and scattered them into the sea.

Drug consumption

Chua was also found guilty of consuming drugs.

She had started consuming ICE in January 2020 and consumed the drug two days before her arrest, and the court heard.

Eight male teenagers, aged between 12 and 15, were arrested on Thursday (Nov. 12) for their alleged involvement in a series of public nuisance incidents targeting a residential unit in Hougang.

Four other male youths are also assisting with ongoing investigations.

According to a Singapore Police Force (SPF) news release, authorities received multiple reports of disturbances at a home along Hougang Avenue 8 between September and November 2026.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the incidents were linked to a prank publicised online.

On multiple occasions, the youths allegedly visited the residential unit late at night, knocked loudly on the doors and windows, and fled the scene—causing significant distress and annoyance to both the occupants and neighbouring residents.

Officers from the Ang Mo Kio Police Division successfully identified the suspects through ground enquiries and closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.

Following the arrests of the eight youths on Nov. 12, police stated that efforts are still underway to track down other individuals who may have participated in the acts.

All 12 are currently being investigated for the offence of public nuisance under Section 290 of the Penal Code 1871.

If convicted, offenders face a jail term of up to three months, a fine of up to S$2,000, or both.

In their statement, the SPF emphasised that they take a serious view of acts that disrupt the peace and cause distress to the community, warning that firm action will be taken against those who disregard the law.

Police also urged members of the public to act responsibly and refrain from taking part in online pranks or viral challenges that could amount to criminal offences.

Anyone with information related to these incidents is encouraged to contact the Police Hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit a report online via www.police.gov.sg/i-witness. All information provided will be kept strictly confidential

Chinese president Xi Jinping said during a speech in Beijing on Nov. 12 that China's “reunification” with Taiwan “must and will be realised".

“The tide of history cannot be stopped,” he added, with no mention of the use of force.

Xi was speaking at an event commemorating the 160th birth anniversary of Chinese revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen, who played a leading role in the revolution that overthrew China's Qing dynasty in 1911.

He described achieving China's complete reunification as an “unwavering historical mission” of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Xi reiterates commitment to peaceful 'reunification'

According to Xinhua, Xi reiterated Beijing's commitment to peaceful “reunification” under the “one country, two systems” framework.

He said Beijing was willing to hold discussions with people from different sectors in Taiwan on cross-strait relations and national reunification, provided they accepted the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus.

The 1992 Consensus refers to an understanding reached between representatives from Beijing and Taipei in 1992, although the two sides have different interpretations of its meaning.

Xi also said Beijing would fully consider Taiwan's circumstances and take into account the interests and feelings of Taiwanese people.

However, he said Beijing would leave no room for activities advocating Taiwanese independence.

Xi further called on people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, as well as Chinese people overseas, to oppose Taiwanese independence and work towards peaceful cross-strait relations and reunification.

Taiwan rejects 'one country, two systems'

Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) rejected Xi's remarks, calling on Beijing to recognise the continued existence of the Republic of China (ROC), Taiwan's official name, and respect its democratic way of life.

The council said neither Taiwan's government nor its people would accept the “one country, two systems” framework.

It maintained that Taiwan's future should be decided by its 23 million people.

MAC deputy head and spokesperson Liang Wen-chieh said Xi's remarks on reunification were largely similar to Beijing's previous positions.

Beijing considers Taiwan part of China and has not ruled out the use of force to achieve reunification.

Taiwan has its own democratically elected government and rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims.

Xi pays tribute to Sun Yat-sen

Sun is regarded as an important historical figure on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

In his speech, Xi paid tribute to Sun's contributions to China's modernisation and national development.

He also portrayed the CCP as a successor to Sun's revolutionary aspirations, linking the goal of national reunification to the broader objective of China's national rejuvenation.

Xi called on Chinese people at home and abroad to work together towards these goals.

Remarks ahead of expected Trump meeting

Xi's remarks came ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting in Shenzhen, China, from Nov. 18 to 19, 2026.

U.S. president Donald Trump said he expected to meet Xi at the summit, according to Reuters.

Beijing strongly opposes any moves toward formal Taiwanese independence or external support for it.

Washington insists that resolution to the cross-strait issue must be peaceful and reached without coercion or unilateral changes to the status quo by either side

Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, 63, allegedly had an intimate relationship with a second company employee, sources told Reuters.

The new allegation came just hours after Huang resigned on Nov. 12 from the company he co-founded, following allegations of two affairs in the past week.

Reuters did not name the second employee Huang was allegedly involved with.

The latest allegation brings the total number of extramarital affairs he was suspected of having to three: The first being alleged spy Alice Huang, and the second, Nvidia's healthcare vice president Kimberly Powell.

Reuters reported that Nvidia declined to comment.

Powell, Jensen Huang, and a representative ​for Nvidia's board did not respond.

Alice Huang could ​not be reached for comment.

Series of scandals

In an email to Nvidia staff on Nov. 8, Huang admitted to being unfaithful to his wife.

Both of Jensen Huang’s children, Spencer and Madison, work at Nvidia.

The admission came after the U.S. government launched a probe into the chipmaker's relationship with Alice Huang, who was a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed.

Reports of a second affair with Powell surfaced days later on Nov. 11, sources told The New York Times.

Less than a day later, Nvidia announced that Huang had resigned from his posts as president, chief executive officer, and board member, effective immediately.

He will be replaced on an interim basis by Colette Kress, the company's current executive vice president and chief financial officer.

CHEN is still as intimidating as I recall.

Nine long years ago, back in 2017, I unwisely allowed the young professional wrestler to lock me in a punishing submission move in the middle of a wrestling ring.

I thought my head was going to come off. The young professional wrestler with muscles in places I didn't even have places made it clear that no mere fan could last a minute in the ring when up against a pro.

But that was almost a decade ago. Two General Elections have come and gone since CHEN and I came face to face. I braced myself for a confrontation. Would he remember our encounter, and would I be forced to tap out again?

"Sulaiman!" he greeted, with a big smile. Clad in a handsome waistcoat and shirt combo, he shook my hand in recognition. Turns out, he did remember me. At least this time he looked pleased to see me.

Back then CHEN competed in Singapore's very own promotion, SPW, under a different name - Trexxus.

It was Trexxus who captured the Southeast Asia Championship and wowed a legion of Singaporean fans. But when he lost a Title vs Career match against "The Statement" Andruew Tang in 2021, he struck out for pastures new.

Wrestling under the new name of Dante Chen, he made history by becoming the first-ever Singaporean to be signed to the global behemoth WWE.

The same company that saw the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and John Cena perform in front of crowds around the world had welcomed a Singaporean to its ranks.

In NXT, CHEN battled the likes of Lexis King and Ethan Page, most notably handing Oba "The Ruler" Femi his first-ever loss.

He again made history by officially wrestling on an episode of Smackdown, the WWE's main roster show.

So, who hits harder, Oba Femi or Bron Breakker? CHEN winces at the memory of facing Breakker, citing the impact of the Spear as a move he feels to this day.

"There's nothing like it."

It seemed as though the sky was the limit for CHEN.

Got cut

But then came the horrible news that Singapore fans were dreading.

In April 2025, the WWE released Dante Chen from his contract.

If I had just one question to ask, it would be this. What went wrong?

CHEN fielded the question effortlessly, as if he was expecting it.

"I feel that competition is very stiff in the WWE, and it just happens that what I was showing, performance wise, wasn't enough at the time. I'll give credit where credit is due, at least. Over there [it's a] different level."

Singaporean fans were incensed that Shawn Michaels, the former WWE champion who currently runs NXT, apparently decided to let CHEN go. Does he want to prove the Heartbreak Kid wrong?

He gave a wry smile. "My aim is to prove everyone wrong. Whoever doubted me, I'm aiming to prove all of them wrong, not just one person."

Japan

Leaving the U.S. in his rearview mirror, CHEN found himself in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Having adopted a new ring name, CHEN went up against brand new opponents in Pro Wrestling NOAH, another promotion with a long and storied history. Was it a big difference from wrestling in America?

"I feel like wrestling in Japan, they treat it a lot more like a competition. It isn't too much about being a showman. It's not so much about performing, it's about competing. Just something that I really appreciate in Japan."

It was in Japan that CHEN found himself in tag-team action against the legendary Tetsuya Naito, the former New Japan Pro Wrestling icon and world champion.

Naito, along with CHEN and a host of other stars will be in action on Nov. 13, at the Foo Chow building at 21 Tyrwhitt Road.

The show also boasts "The Blackheart" Lio Rush in action, a current AEW wrestler known to national and international audiences.

Audiences will also get to see the last-ever Singapore match of Yuki Kamifuku, the star from Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling, who had previously announced she will be retiring from wrestling for good in December 2026.

Singapore

While Naito won't be competing against CHEN this time, he does hold the SPW Southeast Asia championship, the same title that CHEN held before he had to leave Singapore.

Is his long-term goal to reclaim the title he once held? CHEN shared that at first, his eyes were set on the GHC Heavyweight Championship that Naito also held.

But CHEN also acknowledged the shared history he and Naito had with the Southeast Asia championship.

"It's definitely a goal of mine now," he said. "Now that I'm back in SPW, to eventually challenge for the championship again."

However, Naito will have to wait (tranquilo, as he might say). CHEN will do battle with none other than "The Statement" Andruew Tang, one of the most prominent members of the SPW roster.

It's almost poetic. Tang, like CHEN, had shed blood, sweat and tears to build up SPW to a national level. As the older competitor, Tang had shared his knowledge and expertise with CHEN.

But when CHEN left for the bright lights of the WWE, Tang was left behind in Singapore.

No matter how close they once were, there has to be some bad blood between the two. And their clash will prove, once and for all, just who is the better Singaporean wrestler.

So, can CHEN succeed where Trexxus did not?

"I feel like Trexxus walked, so that CHEN could run," said the star.
