Second inclusive playground to open
Wheelchair users can now wheel themselves onto a roundabout and a swing in Singapore's second inclusive playground.
Children with disabilities will be able to get on the equipment easily at the playground in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.
Minister for Social and Family Development Tan Chuan-Jin will officially open the retrofitted playground today.
N. Korean 'provocation' expected
North Korea will likely conduct "a certain type of provocation" after 0800 GMT (4pm Singapore time) today, South Korean Defence Minister Han Min Koo has said. Pyongyang had imposed the deadline for the removal of loudspeakers used by the South Korean military for propaganda broadcasts. On Thursday, the two sides exchanged artillery fire in border areas, increasing the possibility of military conflict between the Koreas.
LionsXII defence worrying
Coach Fandi Ahmad has called on the LionsXII to buck up ahead of the Malaysia Cup competition. Of particular concern is the team's shaky defence, which has leaked 22 goals in 11 away matches and which in large part accounts for their mediocre seventh spot in the 12-team Malaysia Super League (MSL).
