FROM theatrical drama to a solemn candle-lit procession, Christians yesterday commemorated the death of Jesus Christ on Good Friday.

The different styles marked the diversity of local churches here, from mega-churches to smaller, community parishes.

THE suspected kingpin of a human smuggling ring that brought illegal immigrants from Johor into Singapore has been arrested in Malaysia.

E National Environment Agency (NEA) is beefing up cleanliness checks on all 109 hawker centres it manages here after an Indian rojak stall at a temporary market in Geylang Serai was linked to the worst case of mass food poisoning.

Three other temporary markets in Ang Mo Kio, Tekka and Queen Street - which are run by their own local management committees - have also been inspected after 154 people who had eaten food from Geylang's rojak stall fell ill last week.
