The menu was requested by Mr Masagos, who told the attendees that he had lost 13kg and controlled his cholesterol levels in a span of seven months to take better care of his health.

The second booster shot is currently recommended for those aged 80 and above, residents of aged-care facilities and medically vulnerable people. Mr Goh turns 81 on Friday. "Life is not always easy.

Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin, who is also the Singapore National Olympic Council president, has been in Vietnam cheering on our sportsmen and women, who have won medals in sports such as swimming, pencak silat, wushu and fencing.
