You know the saying, “The grass is always greener on the other side”? Well, it took a pandemic for many of us to discover what our backyard offers. One such venue is the culturally-rich Kampong Gelam district, popularly known as the hip ethnic Bugis area. So if you are racking your brains about how to spend a fulfilling weekend, or wish for a change in the scenery without heading overseas, try a staycation at the newly revamped Parkroyal on Beach Road.

Ukraine fires several US-made longer-range missiles into Russia for the first time
Ukraine fired several American-supplied longer-range missiles into Russia, officials said Tuesday, marking the first time Kyiv used the weapons that way in 1,000 days of war. The use of the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, came as Russian President Vladimir Putin formally lowered the threshold for using nuclear weapons, opening the door to a potential nuclear response by Moscow to even a conventional attack by any nation supported by a nuclear power. A Telegram channel affiliated with the Ukrainian military posted a video Tuesday that it says shows U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles being fired from an undisclosed location in Ukraine.
