SINGAPORE - The Singapore International Festival of Arts (Sifa) ended its run last Saturday (Sept 9) with a record-high reach of 218,000 viewers.

Copies of Sonny Liew's graphic novel The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye have been flying off the shelves ever since his hat-trick win at the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards last Friday.

Polished is the word that best describes Gaurav Kripalani, artistic director of the Singapore Repertory Theatre.
