Joseph Schooling, the first Singaporean gold medal winner is currently on his victory parade around Singapore.

Schooling won Singapore’s first gold medal after beating former Olympic winner, Micheal Phelps at the 100m butterfly event at Rio Olympics 2016 on Saturday (13 August).

The finals were held at 9.10 am Singapore time. Schooling completed the race in just 50.39s which broke the Olympics Games record. He beat the previous record of 50.58s by Michael Phelps in 2008 Olympics Games held in Beijing.

Earlier on Monday, the Parliament passed a motion to congratulate him for his winning of the Olympic gold medal.

This is the first time the country had won a gold medal since the first time the Olympics Games was held in 1948.

Here are some pictures of the event posted on social media :

马内阁议决废除死刑 国际特赦组织:全球在关注

马来西亚内阁在昨日议决,将废除死刑,并在下周召开的国会下议院会议,提呈废除强制死刑法案。 马国法律事务首相署部长拿督刘伟强表示,目前政府仍在研讨一些问题,包括那些涉谋杀受害家庭、需调查和聆听各造意见。惟这段期间,所有死刑获暂缓。 刘伟强指出,内阁的看法是完全不该执行死刑。政府已告知特赦局,以研究对被判死刑案件的改判,确保违法者受到适当惩罚。 马国国会下议院将在下周(15日)召开。自今年7月,该国已宣布暂缓执行死刑。 国际特赦组织秘书长库米奈杜(Kumi Naidoo)认为,马国内阁废死的决定乃是一大进展,使之加入全球其他106个放弃死刑的国家行列,彻底放弃这种残忍、不人道和有辱人格的惩罚,全世界都在关注马来西亚。 她指出,过去因为执行死刑,使马国在人权纪录留下不可磨灭污点。对于宽容惩处的申请结果,死刑犯往往被蒙在鼓里,而他们往往在数小时前才得知自己将被处决。 10月10日也是反死刑日,国际特赦组织在文告中提及一名来自马国的死刑个案何有华。他在2005年因贩毒被捕,当时他只有20岁。 在2011年5月被判强制死刑,也曾向法院上诉被驳回。2014年,他向柔佛州苏丹申请特赦,至今仍悬而未决。 国际特赦组织欣慰马国政府实现人权承诺,惟认为该局仍需作更多努力,也希望马国国会能通过废死议案,让死刑尘封于历史中。 新加坡官方仍视死刑为遏制贩毒利器 然而,我国政府仍视死刑为打击犯罪的”工具“。我国外交部长维文曾在2016年,在联合国大会上重申新加坡保留死刑的立场,也坚称死刑在我国获得国人“很高的支持”。…

本月13日,一名警犬单位兽医助理确诊。为此卫生部也随即展开检测行动,单位内包括行政人员在内,共95名工作人员,都要接受冠病19检测。 所幸检测后,证实确诊者仅为本月16日确诊的一名行政人员。不过,曾近接触兽医助理及该名行政人员的人士,都已被隔离。 这名兽医助理为32岁新加坡男子,工作上是配合警犬训练员,为警犬远程视讯问诊。 兽医助理在出现症状前,曾接触25只警犬,为此他们也得接受检测,警方证实所有警犬检测结果呈阴性。 与警犬单位感染群有关的病例共七例,包括兽医助理和行政人员的妻子,以及行政人员儿子。
