Singaporean jailed six months in Taiwan for stalking Golden Melody Award winner Olivia Tsao Ya-wen
TAIPEI, June 12 — A Singaporean woman has been sentenced to six months in jail in Taiwan for stalking and harassing Golden Melody Award-winning singer Olivia Tsao Ya-wen, after her obsession with the star escalated into threats and public confrontation. According to The Straits Times, Cassandra Low, a woman in her 30s, was found guilty by the New Taipei District Court of endangering the personal safety of Tsao, and of offences including stalking, harassment and public insult. The court's verdict, published on June 5, followed months of troubling behaviour that forced the singer and her agent to leave their homes. Low, described in court documents as a long-time fan of Tsao, began contacting the singer via personal emails and messages on Facebook and Instagram from November 2023. However, her behaviour took a dark turn after she was blocked on social media by Tsao. According to the judgment, Low reacted by posting threats and abuse directed at the singer, her family, and her agent. In one Facebook post, she wrote: 'I can be very aggressive. The more stubborn she is... don't blame me for whatever I do to her parents.' In another, she said: 'Blocking me, see how I slowly let her agent die.' The online threats eventually drove both Tsao and her agent to leave their residences in New Taipei City out of fear for their safety. The situation intensified in February when Low followed Tsao to Banqiao high-speed rail station after learning the singer was travelling. She grabbed Tsao's luggage and phone in an attempt to pressure her into restoring contact. In a video recorded by Tsao, Low is seen physically blocking her and demanding a reconciliation until police intervened. The court sentenced Low to six months in prison. She may choose to pay a commuted fine of NT$1,000 (S$43) per day of her sentence, but the court noted that her high salary as a Singaporean — reportedly more than twice that of a typical Taiwanese worker — meant a financial penalty alone would not reflect the severity of her actions. Low will be deported once she serves her sentence or pays the full fine. Tsao, 38, responded to the verdict in a June 11 post on social media, saying: 'This is the most comforting piece of news I have received recently,' and thanked her supporters and legal team for their help. Better known by her Chinese name Tsao Ya-wen, the singer performs primarily in Taiwanese Hokkien and won the Best Female Taiwanese Singer award at the Golden Melody Awards in 2021. She has previously spoken about feeling 'helpless and uncomfortable' when fans crossed personal boundaries, though she did not identify individuals at the time.

5 things to know about the K-pop juggernaut
K-pop boy band BTS members RM (left) and V salute for fans and members of the press at an outdoor sporting facility in Chuncheon on June 10, 2025. (AFP pic) SEOUL : All the members of South Korea's most lucrative boyband BTS are set to finish their military service this month, paving the way for the K-pop super-group to release new music. The news has prompted a fan frenzy, with speculation rife about forthcoming releases and even tours. AFP takes a look at what is going on: Who are they? The seven-member K-pop group known as BTS – short for Bangtan Boys, which means 'Bulletproof Boy Scouts' in Korean – are the world's most followed music group on Instagram. Debuting in 2013, the septet – RM, Jin, V, J-Hope, Jungkook, Jimin, and SUGA – gained moderate recognition in South Korea, but experts say it wasn't until their 2017 performance at the American Music Awards that they shot to global fame. Over the next five years, they became the most-streamed group on Spotify, the first K-pop act to top both the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Artist 100 charts, and the most-awarded group in history. They have also become widely regarded as youth icons and have delivered speeches at the United Nations and met then-US president Joe Biden at the White House to address anti-Asian hate crimes. What happened? In 2022, the group said they would be going on a 'hiatus' after nine years, citing exhaustion from the brutal K-pop system. 'The K-pop and idol system doesn't allow a person to mature,' said leader RM during a livestream. The announcement sparked debate over the K-pop industry's structure and its neglect of artists' mental health. But even at the time, analysts said the break seemed to owe more to the need for them to undertake their mandatory military service – from which, despite their massive economic contributions to South Korea, the group were not exempt. Six months later, Jin, the oldest of the group, enlisted, with the others following suit. South Korea offers service exemptions to some athletes – including Olympic medallists – and also some classical musicians, but no K-pop star has yet received one. What's their plan? With all the members to be discharged by the end of June, many fans are hoping for a reunion, and RM and V said Tuesday after their release that they hoped to quickly get back to performing. Their agency, HYBE, has hinted at a comeback – possibly in 2026 – but also said members 'need time for reflection and preparation'. The group will likely take a ''visual recovery' period of around three months', Yoo Sung-man, an analyst at Leading Investment and Securities, told AFP. This would give them time to grow out their military buzz cuts before they are 'expected to make a full-group comeback near the end of the year'. Is this good for K-pop? It's very good for their agency HYBE – which has seen its shares soar – and the industry as whole, experts say. Lee Ki-hoon, a researcher at Hana Securities, said a full-member world tour is expected to attract 'more than three million attendees annually and generate around 700 billion won in tour revenue by 2026'. Official figures estimate the group accounted for some 0.2% of South Korea's total GDP at their pre-military peak – and their return bodes well for the industry as a whole. 'The comebacks of leading K-pop artists like BTS and BLACKPINK, expands attendance for global tours,' said Lee Hwan-wook of Yuanta Securities Korea. What about the fans? Fans are elated to see BTS members back, with a chance to catch a glimpse of them over the next few days. The members' discharge comes days ahead of the annual BTS FESTA, set to take place Friday, marking the group's 12th anniversary. It is expected to draw tens of thousands of fans from around the world. 'I planned my trip two years before around the FESTA, because I knew the members will be out by then,' Hannah Chung, a 28-year-old who lives in London, told AFP. 'I hope we're able to see them, at least just once at the concert like 2024.'

Nostalgia meets new thrills as Ipoh's Yik Fong Complex draws crowds with retro arcade revival
IPOH, June 12 — While many new malls across Malaysia struggle to attract visitors, Ipoh's Yik Fong Complex is enjoying a nostalgic revival, thanks to the return of retro arcade games that are pulling in a younger crowd. Opened in 1983, Yik Fong Complex has outlasted several iconic shopping landmarks in Ipoh, including Super Kinta, Emporium Perak, Crescendo, and the Yau Tet Shin Bazaar. However, the rise of modern malls like Ipoh Parade and Aeon Mall saw the complex's popularity wane among locals. In recent years, Yik Fong has been informally dubbed 'Plaza Low Yat Ipoh' due to its reputation as a hub for electronics and IT products. This niche attracted mostly foreign customers with its competitive prices. But the December 2023 launch of the Yik Fong Theme Park, a family entertainment centre, has sparked a resurgence of interest among locals, particularly younger visitors and families. Visitors enjoying table tennis at the Yik Fong Theme Park in Ipoh, a favourite activity among older patrons. — Picture by John Bunyan A new crowd drawn by nostalgia and excitement T Thivayapriya, 25, a staff member at the theme park, noted the shift in the complex's foot traffic. 'We've seen more locals coming in, especially during holidays and weekends,' she told Malay Mail. 'Most of them are teenagers who come with friends, but we're also seeing more families bringing their children.' The theme park features over 50 arcade games, ranging from traditional setups to modern experiences. 'We have coin-operated machines, pinball, video games like racing, shooting, and fighting games, water arcade games, and many classic arcade setups. 'There are also virtual reality (VR) games, X Jump trampolines, laser tag, and even a 7D movie world theatre. For the VR and 7D experiences, customers feel like they're part of the game or movie,' Thivayapriya explained. Fun for all ages A dedicated section offers arcade games tailored for children aged 12 and below, while a go-kart circuit, complete with indoor and outdoor tracks, has become a major attraction. 'There are different kart options, including Kids Kart, Junior Kart, Junior Kart Plus, Mini Kart, and Drift Kart,' Thivayapriya said. Both the VR and go-kart experiences come with package deals offering discounted rates for families and groups of friends. Arcade games are priced between RM1 and RM10, go-kart rides range from RM20 to RM45, and VR games are available from RM20 to RM60. Package deals start at RM79. The revival of Yik Fong Complex reflects how a mix of nostalgia and modern entertainment can breathe new life into long-standing landmarks, reconnecting them with the local community.
