Three women were detained in court on Thursday ( Jun 27 ) for allegedly organizing a group of about 70 people who allegedly delivered letters to the Istana in support of the Palestinian cause. &nbsp,

The three are Annamalai Kokila Parvathi, 35, Siti Amirah Mohamed Asrori, 29, and Mossamad Sobikun Nahar, 25.

All were accused under the Public Order Act of organizing a gathering or march without a force on February 2 along the Istana, a prohibited region, along the boundary. &nbsp,

Annamalai, a known legal activist, is said to have abetted the reported crime.

Jolovan Wham, a well-known advocate, and all three of them showed up in court and were accompanied by a group of more than 10 persons. &nbsp,

The women reportedly staged a parade in front of the Singapore Police Force to demonstrate their support for the Arab cause, including asking for attendees to sign up online.

Around 2 p.m., about 70 persons had gathered along Orchard Road outside a store on February 2 and made their way to the Istana. In support of the Arab cause in the midst of the Israel-Hamas conflict, they carried tents with fruit images. &nbsp,

The color of the fruit is the same as that on the Arab flag, and the fruit has come to represent Arab solidarity.

Participants in the Words for Palestine function reportedly walked from Plaza Singapura to the Istana to hand out words to then-Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, according to social media posts. &nbsp,

The authorities added that Annamalai had recently received a 24 month contingent warning on November 30, 2021 and a harsh warning on December 5, 2017, for her participation in various common assemblies without a permit. &nbsp,

Siti Amirah is under investigation for crimes in a separate event, the authorities said without elaborating.

Authorities are still looking into possible contributors to the same incident. &nbsp,

The police warned the public to refrain from engaging in activities that would endanger the cultural unity, public order, and serenity that Singaporeans have worked hard to achieve. &nbsp,

We recognize that some people have strong opinions about the Israel-Hamas conflict, but they should n’t defy the law to express their opinions or follow the protestors in other nations, they said.

They could otherwise take part in the numerous boards, dialogues, and donation drives that have been properly organized on the subject.

If convicted, each faces a jail term of not more than six months, or a fine of up to S$ 10, 000 ( US$ 7, 364 ). &nbsp,

Because the shroud of black blotchy patches on the face appears when you’re expecting a child, mascara is frequently called a “pregnancy face.” However, lupus does not just affect pregnant women; it can also manifest itself before and during menopause.

The American Academy of Dermatology estimates that the lupus is present in women to men at a ratio of 9:1. &nbsp, &nbsp,

According to Dr. Lee Hwee Chyen, clinical director and consultant pediatrician at Epi Dermatology &amp, Laser Specialist Clinic, individuals with deeper skin accents, such as those of Southeast- Eastern and Southern Asian origin, are more likely to develop melasma.

Melasma is a complex skin problem, he added. It is influenced by lifestyle variables like thyroid disorder and exposure to sunlight, as well as biological and physiological factors. For some, it can be frequent.

MELASMA IS DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE

On both sides of the face, Dr. Lee describes hyperpigmentation as black, reddish areas with unusual borders. The areas are typically found on the forehead, cheeks and nose.

There is no medical exam for hyperpigmentation. Instead, analysis relies mostly on the physician recognising it based on medical guidelines, said Dr S K Tan, creator and clinical director of IDS Clinic, an esthetic clinic.

The problem is that even with such “textbook” guidelines, melasma is n’t that easy to diagnose.

” It is frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked because it can carbon- exist and/or overlap with other popular types of hyperpigmentation, quite as post- inflammatory hyperpigmentation, age spots or freckles”, said Dr Lee.

Often, the hyperpigmentation areas have ordinary and defined edges, or appear only on one side of the face, which may resemble other types of color, said Dr Tan.

HORMONES PLAY A BIG PART IN MELASMA

Hormonal changes are a significant factor in hyperpigmentation occurrence and frequency.

” Hormonal fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone, notably during childbirth, can serve as a motivator for hyperpigmentation growth, engaging melanin production and resulting in emergence of dark patches on the skin”, said dermatologist Dr Lee. The pigment melanin that determines your skin tone, hair, and eye color is the pigment that gives it that color.

In fact, research has shown that a higher oestrogen concentration has been associated with a higher level of skin pigmentation. And because oestrogen is constantly changing throughout a woman’s life, there are very high chances of developing melasma.

Kayakasia’s trips to Sentosa and the Southern Islands were forced to end. To make things worse, the three- quarter closing timeframe falls in the company’s top time, its chairman Sim Cher Huey said.

” These are the times with the best waters to swim that,” said Mr. Sim, “because these are important months for us.” This means that we will be taking significantly less of these visits this year.

He intends to expand the number of trips to places like Pulau Ubin, rather of asking for money. &nbsp,

He said,” We probably will just work more trips in different parts of Singapore to make up for the lost trips to Sentosa and Southern Island,” citing the arduous claims process as a deterrent to seeking compensation. &nbsp,

But, he also expects to make a loss, as about 50 per cent of his company’s trips are to the lakes around the Southern Islands. &nbsp,

” There will definitely be some losses and wo n’t be fully able to pivot because some dates are just not suitable to travel to Ubin but only to the Southern Islands,” he said. ” So in a way, these dates are lost” .&nbsp,

Due to the oil flow, visitor statistics to “tiny homes” operated by domestic strong Big Tiny for overnight stays have decreased on Lazarus Island. &nbsp,

According to Big Tiny co-founder Jeff Yeo, bookings have decreased by 29 % since Jun 14. These tickets were canceled for the fifth and final portion, respectively. &nbsp,

With the shores closed, customers might not want to book lodging because they are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and spent time with loved ones on the beach, according to Mr. Yeo. &nbsp,

The business is calculating its loss and intends to file a claim with British Marine. &nbsp,
