A Singapore flag was burnt by demonstrators in the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) on 13 May 2014.

Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement released on 15 May that it considers this a “serious incident” as the flag is a sacred symbol which should be “treated with respect”.

The Singapore embassy in Hanoi has conveyed Singapore’s “strong concerns” over the flag burning to the Vietnamese government.

Singapore performance artist Lee Wen is in hospital here after blacking out on Saturday evening in a university toilet and waking up with abrasions on his face.

A scan has found no blood clots, and he is being warded overnight for observation.

Speculation has been rife on Facebook that the artist was attacked after he expressed concern at an arts forum here about Tiananmen soldier-turned-artist Chen Guang. Chen was arrested by Beijing this month after he privately staged a work of performance art to commemorate the 1989 Tiananmen incident.

His gallerist Helina Chan of the iPreciation Gallery told The Straits Times early Sunday morning that Mr Lee could not recall if he indeed had been beaten up.

When Sunil first moved to Singapore, he had trouble finding an apartment.

"I called up several landlords who had listed rooms for rent," Sunil, a Sri Lankan who spent eight years living in the UK, said.

"Things would start out OK, maybe because of my [Western] accent - but the moment they heard my name, they'd blank out. Many said 'sorry, we don't rent to these people', or 'sorry, no room for Indians'."

Sunil, a civil engineer who arrived in 2012, said he was rejected by at least four landlords.

A movie theater in China mistakenly used a fan-made "Thor: The Dark World" poster to promote the film. The artwork in question shows Thor (Chris Hemsworth) clutching the villainous Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in a loving embrace; the actual poster shows Thor pulling the move on his girlfriend, Jane (Natalie Portman).

A photo of a sexually explicit figurine in the likeness of Chinese actress Tang Wei has gone viral on the internet. The doll is judged to bear a good facial likeness to Tang, though clearly has a fuller figure. Tang's agent says the figure, one-sixth actual size, is unauthorized and that lawyers have been hired to redress the infringement of Tang's image rights. The agent said she had heard the photo originates from outside China and her team is looking into it.

Guo mei mei (郭美美), the blogger in the Chinese Red Cross scandal, posted a photo of herself with 10 casino chips worth RMB 5 million yuan. Guo posted the photos after Sports Car Club members accused her of trading sex for money at the so-called Sanya sex party.

In early April, pictures started to circulate online about a rumored “group sex” party in the coastal city of Sanya. Many high-profile celebrities and young models were said to participate a 3-day Hainan Rendez-Vous Lifestyle and Yacht Show. Rumor has it that it was a party filled with sex and drugs. It’s said that one young model earned some RMB 600,000 yuan ($97,000) through offering sex at the party, and that a total of more than 2,000 condoms were used at the party over 3 days.

Discussions of the party already faded after 2 weeks. That is until Guo Meimei, whose online showoff of her extravagant lifestyle almost ruined the reputation of China Red Cross in 2011, came on stage. There are two versions of how it all started. The first was that Guo had a crush on one wealthy member of China’s Sports Car Club (SCC), wanted him to join the Sanya party but was rejected. The second was that members of SCC wanted to have group sex with Guo at the Sanya party but was refused. Either way, a war of words started on Weibo, China’s leading microblog service, between Guo and a few members of SCC.
