The wife of Taiwanese actor Fu Zichun penned a heartbreaking tribute to her late husband on the eve of the seventh day since his passing.

Fu, 46, passed away on Jun. 7 from acute leukaemia, just days after returning from a holiday in Bali with his wife Corrinna.

He was hospitalised and died within 24 hours of admission, sending shockwaves through Taiwan's entertainment industry.

According to China Times, Corrinna posted a video on social media stitched together from photos of the couple's travels, accompanied by a message addressed to her late husband.

She recalled how the two had planned to travel the world together once he took a break from acting.

She added:

"How I wish all of this was just a dream, that when I wake up you'll still call me 'baby'."

"Don't go visiting others"

With the seventh day since his passing falling on Jun. 13, Corrinna addressed Fu directly in her post, urging him to come home.

She wrote:

"Tomorrow is your tou qi. Don't go visiting others, remember to come home and see your son and daughter."

The "son and daughter" she referred to are the couple's two poodles, Miru and Miku.

According to Zaobao, Corrinna works in the travel industry, specialising in customised tours centred on Buddhist art and religious pilgrimages.

The couple had explored Hong Kong, Okinawa, and Bali together, with Corrinna regularly sharing their travel videos on social media.

A police officer was shot in the shoulder by another police officer while both were engaged in “horseplay” in Pasadena, California, United States.

In a statement released by the Pasadena Police Department on Jun.10, the bizarre incident occurred on Sep. 7, 2025, at about 6:18pm.

The location was in the department’s parking structure located at 240 Ramona Street.

In the video accompanying the statement, a police vehicle that provided the dashcam footage, was seen approaching two police officers who were standing and loading equipment before their shift.

The car recording the scene stopped as it approached the police officers.

One of the standing police officers drew his pistol in a “quick draw fashion” and pointed it towards the dashcam car before holstering the firearm.

Approximately 4 seconds later, the driver, who was a fellow police officer, of the dashcam car discharged his firearm and struck the windscreen of the vehicle.

The standing officer was hit in the left shoulder.

Pasadena police chief Gene Harris, who narrated the video as the events unfolded without any accompanying audio, described the incident as an “unsafe and out-of-policy horseplay involving loaded firearms”.

The wounded officer has recovered from his injuries, it was revealed.

Administrative investigations and disciplinary measures were taken.

“This regretful conduct is not consistent with the expectations and service commitments of this department,” Harris added.

The identities of the officers involved were not disclosed.

Additional police investigations are ongoing.

A man was charged in court on Jun. 12 for allegedly molesting women and taking photos and videos of their intimate areas without their consent.

The offences all took place at Health Step Foot Reflexology Centre, on separate occasions between February 2021 and December 2024, according to charge sheets.

The centre, located at Holland Village, offers foot and body massages.

The man, 52-year-old Lee Sze Ben, is facing 22 charges in total, for outrage of modesty, and intentionally taking images and videos without consent of women's breasts, buttocks, and crotch area.

A total of 14 victims were involved, The Straits Times reported.

Their ages at the time of the offences ranged from 28 to 58.

It was not clear if Lee was an employee at the place where the offences occurred, and if the victims were his customers.

Lee was also accused of performing a sexual act on a 38-year-old woman, and recording a video of himself doing the same to a 43-year-old woman.

He also allegedly massaged the intimate areas of some victims.

On one such occasion, he allegedly filmed himself massaging the breasts of a then-58-year-old woman.

In court on Jun. 12, he did not indicate how he would plead to the charges.

His case was adjourned to Jul. 10 to allow him to engage a lawyer.

A Canadian mother is suing OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman in U.S. courts, alleging that ChatGPT had encouraged her daughter's suicide.

According to Reuters, the lawsuit, which was filed in San Francisco, alleged that one of ChatGPT's responses to the daughter included, "Maybe this is the end", when she told the artificial intelligence chatbot that crisis hotlines had not been helpful.

The lawsuit also accuses the AI company of failing to address dangerous conversations between users and its chatbot.

Relationship with ChatGPT evolved over time

Reuters, citing the lawsuit, reported that the daughter, Alice Carrier, worked as a web developer in Montreal when she began using ChatGPT in 2023 to troubleshoot problems with computers and gaming consoles.

Carrier's relationship with ChatGPT evolved in 2024 when she began querying the chatbot about what to do with her suicidal ideations and about suicide methods.

ChatGPT initially told Alice to seek help from crisis hotlines or emergency services.

However, Carrier's interactions with the platform deepened as ChatGPT's responses were made to sound more human, the lawsuit alleged.

Carrier shared more personal information, and ChatGPT responded in a manner that mimicked a friend or therapist.

ChatGPT's responses also criticised Carrier's partner, validated her feelings and encouraged her to keep chatting, Reuters reported.

ChatGPT again suggested a crisis hotline when Carrier said she had suicidal thoughts and had attempted to take her own life.

When Carrier told the chatbot the hotlines were not helpful, it echoed those statements.

ChatGPT eventually told Alice, "Maybe this is the end."

Daughter told ChatGPT about suicide ideations more than a dozen times

According to Carrier's mother, Kristie Carrier, the younger Carrier had chatted with ChatGPT about her suicidal ideations more than a dozen times, up to her death.

However, these were never flagged by OpenAI's safety systems.

The lawsuit is accusing OpenAI of negligence in the design of ChatGPT and for failing to warn users of its dangers.

It is seeking damages as well as a court order to automatically terminate conversations about self-harm and to display warnings about its platform, Reuters reported.

OpenAI statement

In a statement, OpenAI called the situation heartbreaking.

It said the version of ChatGPT which Carrier used was no longer available.

It also said that while ChatGPT is not a substitute for medical or mental health care, the company has continued to strengthen the way ChatGPT responds to "sensitive and acute situations with input from health experts", Reuters reported.

Hong Kong actress Karena Ng and third-generation billionaire heir husband Brian Sze gave a rare look into their new four-storey mansion.

Since marrying in 2023, the couple sat down with Architectural Digest China (AD China) for a walkthrough of their home for the very first time.

The interior

In AD China's Instagram feature, they highlighted that the home was designed as a sanctuary to feel calm and relaxed.

Filled with windows that let sunlight in and the scent of fresh nature, Ng had a close hand in designing the home.

Although there is no strict style they followed, AD China noted a "subtle Tuscan ease", reminiscent of their wedding that was held in the Italian town.

In the living room, Ng said that she wanted to keep the space open and comfortable for entertaining, opting for warm white walls paired with dark furniture.

For guests, she chose two lounge chairs and a custom-designed pink sofa that mimics a warm embrace.

A painting by artist Jack Penny is placed above the sofa.

Ng joked that she chose the painting for its similarity to her husband.

The archway connecting the kitchen to the living room is crafted from Brèche de Benou marble, a rare stone from France with a unique colouration and texture.

As the primary chef of the household, she paid special attention to the kitchen layout.

In the western-style kitchen, she chose brass hardware and an island made of Brazilian Taj Mahal quartzite. She hopes that as time passes, the hardware will develop a natural patina, adding a lived-in, soulful vibe to the home.

The Chinese-style kitchen is fully equipped with a suite of German Miele appliances, from a built-in coffee maker and oven to a microwave.

In the dining room, she chose to equip her dining table with multiples of The Red Chair, designed by her personal favourite and renowned Danish architect and furniture designer.

Ng also showcased her master bedroom, bathroom, and walk-in closet.

The biggest reason why they had moved into this home was the private garden.

As they have two dogs, they wanted to give them more space to run around.

Additionally, it brought her a sense of relief to have an outdoor space to unwind.

"Coming home to this, all the stress of the day melts away."

The 2025 National Day Rally will take place on Sunday, Aug. 23, 2026.

It will take place at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College Central at Ang Mo Kio.

This marks Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's third National Day Rally speech.

A Genting Highlands restaurant that charged a group of Singaporean tourists RM902 (S$293.25) for a single wild river patin fish has been cleared of profiteering, following an investigation by Pahang's Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Bureau.

The bureau announced its findings after the incident went viral online, nearly three months later.

What happened

In March, a Singaporean tourist known as Jimmy visited Loong Kee Restaurant at Gohtong Jaya. He came with a group of friends, 10 of whom were fellow Singaporean senior citizens.

He told Stomp the group got the "shock of (their) lives" when they saw the bill for a wild river patin, also known as silver catfish, weighing 2.7kg. They had been told it was priced at RM338 per kg, bringing the fish alone to RM902 (S$293.25).

He said:

"Never did we dream that an economical patin fish could be so ridiculously overpriced, so much beyond that of a good soon hock."

The group protested the bill but was unable to dispute it, having not confirmed the price and weight before the fish was served. Their total bill for the meal came to RM1,762 (S$572.88).

In response, the restaurant said its staff had followed standard ordering procedures and explained the pricing and weight to the customer.

A spokesperson said:

"Confusion or concern regarding billing can affect the overall dining experience, and we sincerely regret any distress or inconvenience caused."

According to Sin Chew Daily News, the restaurant has since said it would optimise its seafood ordering process, and will more clearly communicate the fish species, weight, unit price, and total price to customers before placing orders.

No profiteering found

According to Sin Chew Daily News, Pahang State Consumer Affairs and Human Resources Committee Chairman Shen Chunxiang told reporters at a press conference that the bureau had investigated the restaurant under its "Ops Kesan 5.0" operation after receiving public complaints.

He said:

"The complaints were mainly regarding the restaurant's wild river patin fish prices being too high, causing consumer dissatisfaction. Enforcement officers sent a written notice to the relevant restaurant on April 4, requesting operators to provide relevant documents and materials to assist in the investigation."

After reviewing the restaurant's documents, operational data, and transaction records, the bureau concluded there was no wrongdoing.

He said:

"The investigation results show that there are no profiteering elements in the case, and it is hereby closed."

How profiteering is assessed

The Pahang Domestic Trade Bureau Director clarified at the press conference that profiteering is not determined by price alone. The bureau assesses a merchant's profit margin against an allowable profit rate, calculated using the merchant's historical profit data over several years.

Based on the restaurant's data from 2023 to 2025, the allowable profit rate was set at 56.74 per cent. Loong Kee Restaurant's actual average profit margin from January to March 2026 was 44.08 per cent, which fell below the threshold, per Sin Chew.

Passengers on an SMRT bus encountered a problem along the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) and were directed to an SMRT relief bus, only for the vehicle to also sustain a punctured tyre.

The incident occurred on Jun. 10 at about 11:45am.

In a TikTok, the user panned the camera across the upper deck of bus service 972.

The bus appeared to have stalled along the PIE.

Passengers were seen alighting the bus to board a relief bus.

The passengers then alighted the relief bus to board another bus.

“What are the odds? What a bus ride…” The post’s caption read.

In response to Mothership’s queries, Deputy Managing Director of SMRT Buses, Vincent Gay, said the initial bus was travelling along the PIE when the Bus Captain heard an unusual sound from the vehicle’s undercarriage.

As a precaution, the Bus Captain pulled over at the road shoulder and made arrangements to transfer passengers to the next service 972 bus.

When the next bus arrived at the pick-up point, the Bus Captain discovered a rear tyre puncture.

All the passengers were subsequently transferred safely on the next 972 bus by 12pm.

As the incident occurred along the PIE, the Bus Captains followed standard safety protocols, ensuring that passengers remained safely onboard while waiting for the next bus to arrive.

"We appreciate the patience and understanding of all affected passengers.” Gay said.

Waste collection fees for households will go up from Jul. 1, 2026, the National Environment Agency (NEA) announced on Jun. 12.

The monthly fee for HDB flats and non-landed private housing will increase by S$0.44, from S$10.20 to S$10.64.

Landed homes will see an increase of S$1.50 from S$34 to S$35.50.

NEA said that this is part of the regular review of refuse collection fees to reflect the rising operational and manpower costs faced by public waste collectors.

According to NEA, the last revision was made in 2024.

The household waste collection fee for HDB flats can be offset by U-Save rebates.

The next U-Save rebate disbursements will take place in July and October 2026, as well as in January 2027.
