Andy Lau line in Singapore parliament sparks debate over minister’s ‘frustration’
Singapore's Manpower Minister Tan See Leng sparked debate by using a Cantonese movie quote to rebuke an opposition member in parliament. This rare use of dialect in public discourse has drawn criticism, with some viewing it as dismissive, while others see it as a reflection of the ruling party's frustration with persistent opposition questioning.
The incident occurred during a debate on the manpower ministry’s budget, when Progress Singapore Party’s Leong Mun Wai requested more data on the displacement of local PMET (professional, managerial, executive, or technical) jobs by foreign workers. Tan responded by quoting a line from the movie Blood Brothers after disclosing that Singapore citizens made up 63 per cent of the growth in the number of residents with PMET jobs from 2014 to 2024, and urging Leong to avoid creating an "us-versus-them" mentality regarding foreign workers, a topic Leong's party has repeatedly raised in parliament.

Indian slums get cool roofs to beat the summer heat
A scientific trial in Ahmedabad, India, is testing "cool roofs" to combat indoor heat in informal settlements. Over the past two months, 400 households have had their roofs painted with a reflective white coating as part of a global study examining the impact of indoor heat on health and economic well-being in developing nations.
The project, led by epidemiologist Aditi Bunker, aims to address the increasing vulnerability of residents in precarious housing conditions where homes meant to provide shelter are instead exacerbating heat exposure. With climate change intensifying India's summers, Ahmedabad has experienced temperatures exceeding 46 degrees Celsius, prompting the need for innovative solutions like cool roofs to mitigate the effects of extreme heat on vulnerable populations.

China’s ‘two sessions’: PLA calls for more civilian tech inputs in military modernisation
中国人民解放军（PLA）军官呼吁北京方面调拨更多民用资源，尤其是在新兴技术领域，以支持军事发展和战备。这一呼吁是在北京年度政治会议“两会”期间，由全国人民代表大会（NPC）的解放军代表和中国人民政治协商会议（CPPCC）的军事成员提出的。
解放军代表们强调，解放军与地方政府之间的联合规划和资源共享是讨论的重点，尤其是在军事用地规划和建立军民联合实验室方面。空军中将刘树伟呼吁建立专注于无人系统、水下和网络空间战等关键领域的研究中心，以创新将地方新兴领域资源转化为战争准备的模式，反映了中国全面加强军队现代化的努力。

Father of Hong Kong girl who died after delayed transfusion may sue doctor
By Sammy Heung
The father of an eight-year-old Hong Kong girl who died a year ago after a delayed blood transfusion during an operation has said he is considering suing a doctor after authorities decided not to launch a criminal prosecution.
Eddie Chau, father of Chau Tin-yu, met the press on Monday as he urged police to provide more details on its previous investigation and relaunch their probe into the medical incident that left his cancer-stricken daughter in a vegetative state for four years.
He said he wished to uncover the truth of what had happened, knowing he might not live long since his own cancer had spread to his brain.
“I hope I can find out the truth during my remaining lifetime. I may head to heaven and see Tin-yu soon,” he said.
“When I finally see her in heaven, I need to be able to look into her eyes and tell her I did everything I could.”
Chau and barrister Albert Luk Wai-hung said if police refused to reopen the case, they would consider launching a private prosecution against the doctor who allegedly deleted a record of glucose and saline injection as the indicated dose may have caused Tin-yu’s heart to stop.

Malaysian mums win battle for automatic citizenship for overseas-born children
马来西亚母亲在一场具有里程碑意义的诉讼中取得部分胜利，她们在海外出生的18岁及以下子女将获得公民权。然而，这项法院和解协议不包括已成年子女，导致许多家庭仍然面临法律上的不确定性。这场历时四年的诉讼核心在于性别歧视，旨在争取马来西亚籍母亲与外国配偶所生子女的平等公民权。
此前，这些孩子面临诸多困境，包括无法进入公立学校、就业困难，甚至可能成为事实上的无国籍人士，即使他们长期居住在马来西亚。政府与权益组织Family Frontiers达成和解，该组织于2020年代表多位母亲提起宪法诉讼，挑战现行法律。虽然议会已一致通过联邦宪法修正案，但尚未生效，政府也未对此案发表评论。

Singapore, Indonesia working to extradite corruption fugitive, in first such case under treaty
新加坡正在与印度尼西亚合作，根据两国去年生效的引渡条约，引渡涉嫌腐败的逃犯Paulus Tannos。这是该条约生效后的首个此类案件。新加坡律政部长尚穆根表示，印尼于2月24日提出了引渡Tannos的请求，新加坡总检察署（AGC）一直在与印尼方面密切合作处理此案。
总检察署目前正在审查该请求和相关文件。一旦满足引渡的法律要求，该程序将再次提交法院。去年12月，新加坡收到了印度尼西亚提出的临时逮捕Tannos的请求，Tannos是新加坡的永久居民。新加坡的反腐机构随后于1月17日向法院申请逮捕令，并在同一天实施了逮捕。

Why Pakistani TV dramas are ‘what Bollywood is to India’, and how they break down barriers
Pakistani dramas like "Aadi Si Bewai" (Half Infidelity) are gaining immense popularity not only in Pakistan but also in India, succeeding where diplomacy has often failed. These dramas, with their realistic settings, natural dialogue, and relatable plots about family and marriage, resonate deeply with viewers across borders.
The dramas are filmed in ordinary Pakistani homes, adding to their authenticity and appeal. This popularity highlights the power of television to bridge cultural divides and foster understanding between nations, even those with a historically strained relationship like Pakistan and India, who have been uneasy neighbors since the 1947 split.

Hong Kong’s Times Square owner says earnings sink on weak retail, property market
香港主要商业地产 landlord Wharf Real Estate Investment Co 去年盈利大幅下滑。由于投资和酒店物业收入下降，以及房地产市场持续低迷，公司资产价值进一步缩水，净利润同比骤降 81% 至 8.91 亿港元（1.147 亿美元）。
业绩下滑的主要原因是商业地产需求疲软，导致物业重估亏损增至 56.6 亿港元。尽管如此，若不计入亏损，其核心业务盈利仍增长了 2%。公司旗下的海港城和时代广场等主要资产的零售空间入住率有所下降，但写字楼入住率有所上升，然而租户销售额下降导致营业额租金减少，影响了收入。

‘Chaotic’ Trump gives China’s Xi Jinping ‘advantage’ in global relations: ex-Australian PM
Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull believes the Trump administration's approach to allies creates an opportunity for China to strengthen its international standing. Turnbull suggests that President Xi Jinping will capitalize on Trump's perceived chaos and disrespect by presenting a consistent and respectful alternative, potentially making China a more attractive partner for some nations.
Turnbull, who led Australia during part of Trump's first term and experienced a strained relationship with the US president, made these remarks in a Bloomberg interview. Shortly after, Trump responded on social media, criticizing Turnbull's understanding of China. Turnbull's assessment highlights concerns that Trump's foreign policy may inadvertently benefit China's global influence.

Data centres and Japan likely to remain Asia’s real estate darlings
Japan's commercial property investment market is booming, attracting significant investor interest and leading Asia with US$51.6 billion in transaction volumes in 2024. This surge, accounting for 30% of the region's activity, is fueled by a confluence of factors, including a surge in overseas tourism, the resilience of rental housing, strong office market fundamentals, and increased merger and acquisition activity aimed at unlocking property portfolio value.
The weakness of the yen, driven by interest rate differentials with the US, has played a crucial role, boosting tourism and helping the Bank of Japan combat deflation. This has led to rising inflation, prompting demands for higher wages and expectations of interest rate increases. While these higher rates signal an end to Japan's "lost decades," they also pose new challenges for real estate investors navigating the evolving economic landscape.

Chipmaker TSMC’s sales quicken in first 2 months of 2025 in upbeat note for AI
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) reported a 39% surge in revenue for the first two months of the year, indicating strong demand for AI chips, particularly those used by Nvidia. This growth surpasses the 34% increase seen throughout 2024, with analysts projecting continued growth of around 41% for the current quarter.
As the primary manufacturer of AI chips, TSMC's sales serve as a key indicator for the AI sector's overall health. While the AI boom has propelled companies like Nvidia to new heights, questions are emerging about its long-term sustainability, especially with the emergence of more efficient AI model development approaches. Despite some weakness in automotive and industrial demand reflected in 200mm wafer shipments, robust integrated circuit exports from Taiwan suggest that AI chip sales are significantly boosting TSMC's revenue.
