Businesses in Malaysia’s Johor prepare for Singaporeans’ Lunar New Year shopping spree

Businesses in Malaysia’s Johor state are gearing up for an influx of shoppers from Singapore ahead of Lunar New Year. They said the number of customers had risen gradually in recent weeks, with a sharper increase in sales expected. Hamper store owner Loo Chok Nan said he began getting Lunar New Year orders from Malaysian and Singaporean buyers about two weeks ago. “We would normally deliver the orders as soon as they have been wrapped and packed, so that we have enough room to pack more coming...

Japan survey finds 1 in 6 men groped on Tokyo public transport, defying gender assumptions

A Tokyo metropolitan government survey has found that about one in six men who use the city’s trains and stations say they have been groped – a level experts describe as unexpectedly high and a reminder that women are not the only targets of the Japanese capital’s notorious chikan molesters. The same survey found that 54.3 per cent of women reported having been inappropriately touched on public transport, a figure…

In China, the pressure on women to marry is deadly serious

For 11 years after graduating from high school, a 28-year-old woman from a village in Lushan county in the central Chinese province of Henan had fought against pressure from her parents to get married. By her own account, the woman, locally reported as Wei and a history teacher at Lushan’s top high school, had quarrelled, “gone crazy” and even made threats with a knife. Her fight ended on December 10, when she wrote…

China found something strange on far side of moon no one ever saw occur naturally before

Tiny carbon nanotubes with walls just one atom thick found on the far side of the moon have provided the first confirmed evidence that a material long thought to require sophisticated human engineering could also be produced naturally. They were found in rocks collected by China’s 2024 Chang’e-6 mission, the first probe to land on the far side of the moon and bring samples back to Earth. Using high-resolution electron microscopes, a team from Jilin University in northeastern China detected the...

2016 was a great time for Hong Kong’s restaurant scene. Which openings survived?

Every new year brings fresh waves of nostalgia for past ones, but 2026 has so far felt particularly steeped in them, with social media awash with throwback posts about 2016. After the horror and heartbreak of Hong Kong’s 2025, from the Tai Po fire tragedy to the closing of so many beloved restaurants, it’s understandable why many have jumped on the bandwagon to reminisce about how our lives looked 10 years ago. In…

Football star in Hong Kong embracing pressure after ‘making it out’ of Brazilian favela

Having grown up in “one of the most dangerous places in the world”, Samuel Granada is entirely unfazed about being the most marked man in Hong Kong football. Since joining Premier League North District on loan from Brazilian giants Fluminense back in September, Granada has scored 12 goals in 12 matches, establishing himself as the revelation of this local league season. “I’m a target for other players and fans, and there’s now an expectation among the Hong Kong people, crowds, coaches and staff...

Will ‘one-man model’ work for Vietnam as To Lam looks set to consolidate power?

Vietnam’s Communist Party five-yearly congress is set to consolidate more power for General Secretary To Lam, whom observers say has behaved like he “expects a mandate”. But term and age limits on the leadership are expected to remain, they add, leaving Lam as just a “first among equals” when the conclave concludes on Sunday. The congress – where the one-party state’s highest decisions are made – opened on Monday and will set key economic targets for the country as well as pick new...

World’s oldest cave art discovered in Indonesia

A red stencil of a hand pressed against the wall of an Indonesian cave is the oldest rock art ever discovered, scientists said on Wednesday, and sheds light on how humans first migrated to Australia. The cave art dates back at least 67,800 years, according to research published in the journal Nature by a team of Indonesian and Australian archaeologists. “We have been working in Indonesia for a long time,” study co-author Maxime Aubert of Australia’s Griffith University said. This time they...

China’s flying car makers target deliveries this year as passenger flights near reality

China could see its first flying car begin carrying paying passengers in 2026, as government backing and a growing pipeline of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicle makers push the country’s “low-altitude economy” closer to commercial reality. Seven eVTOL manufacturers were expected to start delivering products before the end of this year, according to CCID Consulting. Local governments including…
