God of Fortune caught snoozing in Kallang
Redditor DrawFourUnoCard posted this image after coming across a statue of the fully reclined deity near Aperia Mall in Kallang while on his way to lunch yesterday (July 7).
"Stumbled upon a statue of the god of fortune in a literal 躺平 (tang ping, laid flat) position while on the way for lunch. We must be really cooked if even Caishen is choosing to lie flat in this economy," he said.
The post drew various comments from Redditors, with one suggesting it was really the weather that had knocked the poor deity out.
"No lah, even god cannot tahan (tolerate) the heat," suggested Greenfrog1026 as to why Cai Shen was lying horizontal.
The rest of the comments were mostly to do with, well, fortune or money, in a very Singaporean context.
"No CDC vouchers for him?" asked strandedbystrand.
"Bro spit CDC vouchers out, that's why he is drained," replied kavindamax.
Capsize83 said the many prayers from those hoping to strike it big in the lottery or 4D had taken its toll.
"Need to take rest and recover energy before doing this daily," he added.
None of the commenters or the original poster were able to provide any useful information on how the statue had got to where it was.
But Redditor duapekong_ claimed that the God of Fortune was able to snooze because he had automated his services.
How was this possible?
"He took some courses with his SkillsFuture credits."

Bite-sized videos, religion explainers part of fresh push by inter-faith body to counter online extremism
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox SINGAPORE - To reinforce its message of inter-faith respect for a younger audience, the Inter-Religious Organisation (IRO) will be putting out more online content about Singapore's different religions. The initiative, which will include bite-sized videos, explainers of Singapore's different religions, and personal accounts of interfaith friendships, is also aimed at countering online extremism, the IRO said on Aug 19. Called We The People of Singapore, it will build on an earlier programme of the same name that IRO launched in 2019 – at its 70th anniversary – to expand its advocacy for religious harmony into the online space. At IRO's annual National Day observance at the Fullerton Hotel, its president K. Elango said the inter-faith body will continue to build bridges, foster dialogue and keep the flame of harmony shining brightly. 'As we step boldly into the next 60 years, our purpose is clear: to mentor across generations, forge new friendships, and share the wisdom of every faith,' he said. In the earlier iteration of the programme, IRO had put up short videos of around one to two minutes that provided an introduction to 10 faiths, as well as others on dietary restrictions in Buddhism and Islam and religious fasting in Hinduism. IRO was formed in 1949 to promote peace and harmony among the different religions. In it, 10 faiths are represented: the Baha'i faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism, Taoism and Zoroastrianism. The body said on Aug 19 that its latest initiative, carried out in partnership with the Central Community Development Council (CDC), is aimed at safeguarding the Republic's hard-won religious harmony, and supports the national SGSecure movement. SGSecure, launched in 2016, is focused on preparing Singaporeans to deal with terrorist attacks, and equipping them with skills to handle a crisis. The initiative also complements broader efforts to guide Singaporeans in navigating online religious content responsibly, said IRO, which noted that the latest Singapore Terrorism Threat Assessment Report had identified youth radicalisation as a growing concern. 'The digital programme is designed to bring IRO's longstanding advocacy for interfaith respect into the online space, where younger Singaporeans increasingly connect, learn and form opinions,' it said. More details on the new programme would be made known later, it added. Among those at the observance ceremony on Aug 19 were Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth David Neo, and Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth and Manpower Dinesh Vasu Dash, who is also the Mayor of South East District. Central District Mayor Denise Phua, who was also at the event, said the Central CDC is proud to partner the IRO in refreshing its digital outreach, as part of the CDC's mission to connect and strengthen diverse communities. 'By harnessing technology, we can bring IRO's timeless message of interfaith respect to more residents,' she said. 'In doing so, Central CDC hopes to deepen understanding and appreciation of our religious and cultural differences – the cornerstone of Singapore's harmony and strength as a multiracial and multi-religious nation.' During the observance ceremony, prayers were offered by religious leaders of the 10 faiths. In his speech, Mr Elango said Singapore is a microcosm of the world, where temples, mosques, churches and synagogues stand side by side. 'Our harmony did not happen by chance – it was built through effort, respect and a shared commitment to live together in peace,' he said. 'And this is where IRO finds its purpose.'

Hong Kong scientist puts hope in nest boxes to save endangered cockatoos
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Urban animal habitat designer Harry Wong climbs up a cotton tree at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, to install an artificial nest box for yellow-crested cockatoos. HONG KONG – Above the teeming shopping streets of Hong Kong's Causeway Bay district, a fight to save one of the world's most endangered species is unfolding high in the branches of a decades-old cotton tree. Nestled among its sprawling boughs is a nest box designed for the yellow-crested cockatoo, of which only 1,200 to 2,000 remain in the world. Although the birds are native to East Timor and Indonesia, one-tenth of those left are found in Hong Kong – the 'largest cohesive remaining wild population' globally, according to Dr Astrid Andersson, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hong Kong. Their future now hangs in the balance, due to habitat loss and, some suspect, a black market for the rare birds. The cockatoos' numbers have stagnated, with far fewer juveniles than when Dr Andersson began monitoring almost 10 years ago. The birds do not make their own nests but depend on natural cavities in trees – about 80 per cent of which have vanished in recent years, because of typhoon damage and government pruning. The nest boxes set up by Dr Andersson are an attempt to rectify this, designed to resemble the hollows sought out by the birds. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

'Without the nest boxes, I believe that the cockatoos will have fewer and fewer opportunities to increase or replace individuals that die in their population,' she said. The boxes will also allow observation of their reproductive behaviour, which has never been comprehensively studied. Human-wildlife coexistence The cockatoos' existence in Hong Kong has been 'a very positive story about human-wildlife coexistence', said Dr Andersson. The population in Hong Kong is an introduced one, with one urban legend recounting they originated from an aviary set free by the British governor of Hong Kong before surrendering to the Japanese in 1941. There is no evidence to support that story, however. The modern flock's ancestors are in fact believed to be escaped pets. Hong Kong's urban parks, full of mature trees bearing fruit, nuts and other food, became a 'sanctuary' for them, Dr Andersson said. The cockatoos are now part of the city's fabric, their loud squawks echoing through the sky at nightfall. Perched on streetlights, they sit calmly observing the humming traffic along city flyovers. Many people do not realise they are looking at an endangered species in their neighbourhood. 'We genuinely thought they were just like an average parakeet,' resident Erfan, who lives near a flyover, told AFP. Yellow-crested cockatoos are often mistaken for sulphur-crested cockatoos, commonly found in Australia rummaging through bins. The two are genetically distinct though, and the Australian species is not endangered. Black market? Merchants at Hong Kong's bird market certainly know the difference. When AFP visited, sulphur-crested cockatoos were openly displayed, while yellow-crested ones were only shown upon request. A one-year-old bird was being sold for a whopping HK$56,000 (S$9,200) , while a two-month-old chick could sell for HK$14,000. It has been illegal since 2005 to trade wild-caught yellow-crested cockatoos. Selling ones bred in captivity is allowed, but the breeders must have valid licences under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. There are no such registered breeders in Hong Kong. Ms Sharon Kwok Pong, founder of Hong Kong Parrot Rescue, believes there may be a 'black market'. 'There have been people that find out where these birds are, they raid them,' she told AFP.

PHOTO: AFP Captive-bred cockatoos should have a ring on their leg and documentation proving their origin, but these can be falsified. 'I think we need a crackdown,' Ms Kwok said. 'If you want to protect a species, so unique in this environment, I think a lot of things need to fall into place.' 'A backup population' Dr Andersson has developed a forensic test that analyses a cockatoo's diet to determine whether it was recently taken from the wild. She hopes this will help enforce the ban on illegal sales. In their native habitats, poaching, rapid habitat loss and climate change have devastated the cockatoos' numbers. The financial hub's birds may one day be able to help revive them. 'Hong Kong's population could have genetic lineages that are now gone,' she said. It could function 'as a backup population for the wild Indonesian counterparts'. AFP

Forum: Nurturing a culture of remembering the sacrifices of those in uniform
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox We refer to Mr Cheah Kok Keong's letter ' In 2025, let's also mark the 80th year of Singapore's liberation ' (Aug 5). We agree with Mr Cheah that the 80th anniversary of Singapore's liberation from Japanese occupation on Sept 12, 1945, should not pass off as another normal day. The date also marks the historic end of World War II, as the last major surrender ceremony of the Pacific War took place on that date in the Municipal Hall, now part of National Gallery Singapore. For the past 20 years, there has been a Singaporean-led multinational committee organising commemoration ceremonies at Kranji War Cemetery. The ceremonies mark significant anniversaries related to WWII, including the Fall of Singapore on Feb 15, 1942, and the End of War on Sept 12, 1945. The committee this year includes Singaporean organisations such as the National Archives Singapore and SAF Veterans' League, and representatives from Commonwealth countries, including the High Commissions of Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and the Embassy of Japan. The ceremonies remember the fallen of all nations, particularly those who defended Singapore from 1941 to 1942. We also hope the ceremonies will nurture a culture of remembrance among Singaporeans to recognise the sacrifices made daily by our men and women in uniform, especially in the Singapore Armed Forces and the Singapore Civil Defence Force. This Sept 12, as in previous years, a commemoration ceremony will be held at Kranji War Cemetery from 4pm to 6pm. All are welcome to this ceremony to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice during WWII. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.
