'Miss Universe Singapore is calling all women to step forward: women with a vision, a voice, and the desire to lead on a global stage. The 2025 edition builds on the success of last year's historic competition, which saw the most diverse group of finalists in its history, including women aged 29 to 34, a single mother, a transgender advocate, and a body-positive entrepreneur,' the organizers said in a press statement.
Notably, prior restrictions regarding age, marital status, and parental status have been removed, in keeping with the inclusive reforms initiated by the global pageant. This was reflected last year, with the most diverse pool of finalists Miss Universe Singapore had ever seen. The organizers say these changes reveal that the brand has entered 'a new era of relevance and representation… where beauty is defined by purpose, not conformity.'
'Miss Universe Singapore is evolving to reflect the full spectrum of modern womanhood. We are proud to champion a platform where diversity, intellect, and individuality take center stage. We are looking for women who are unafraid to be seen and heard,' said Elaine Daly, the National Director of Miss Universe Singapore.
'Becoming Miss Universe Singapore doesn't just end with the crown. It has been the greatest honour, and in the best way, the greatest responsibility. The journey doesn't end here; it only evolves. I'm excited to see how far Singapore can soar with bold women leading the way,' said Miss Universe Singapore 2024 Charlotte Chia.

Bonita Ma, a Talent Manager at Basic Models, said, 'This is not just a casting call. It is a call to women who want to shape culture, drive conversations, and represent Singapore with heart and purpose. We're excited to uncover bold new voices and confident women ready to take the spotlight.' /TISG

Football: Singapore beat Maldives 3-1 in friendly ahead of crucial Asian Cup qualifier
SINGAPORE: Singapore beat Maldives 3-1 at the Bishan Stadium in an international friendly on Thursday (Jun 5). A goal in the first half from Amirul Adli and an Ikhsan Fandi double put the Lions in the lead, before a late penalty from Ahmed Rizuvan reduced the deficit. Singapore are three spots higher than the 164th-ranked Maldives in the FIFA rankings. The Lions will face Bangladesh in a crucial 2027 Asian Cup third-round group C qualifier in Dhaka on Jun 10. Singapore are grouped with Hong Kong, India and Bangladesh in the third round of the Asian Cup qualifiers. Each of the six group leaders will qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup. Tsutomu Ogura's men only managed a 0-0 home draw against Hong Kong in March, while Bangladesh also held India to a goalless draw. The Lions have never qualified for the Asian Cup on merit, with Singapore's only appearance coming as hosts in 1984. The home side took an early lead in the eighth minute, courtesy of a header from Amirul after a looping corner from the left. Ikhsan doubled the lead 13 minutes later after he pounced on poor marking to thump a header home. The powerful striker got his second in the 32nd minute after a good delivery from Song Ui-young off a free-kick. But the Maldives were not without threat, as Ali Faser beat Izwan Mahbud but not the crossbar with a powerful shot just before the half. Singapore came out after the interval looking sharper and could have gone four goals up in the 50th minute. Tidy play from substitute Kyoga Nakamura saw him dink a ball to Ikhsan but the striker headed over. Nakamura was at the heart of all things good for Singapore and it was his ball across the box which found Faris Ramli, but the winger could only blaze over the crossbar.

New Nee Soon MP to call for more penalties for animal welfare offences in wake of community cat deaths
SINGAPORE: After a spate of recent cat deaths, Lee Hui Ying, one of the newly elected Members of Parliament (MP) for Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency (GRC), said earlier this week that she will raise the issue of enhancing penalties against animal welfare offences. Since May, at least three community cats have been found dead in Nee Soon and Punggol. After a second cat was found lifeless in Nee Soon within a short amount of time, CNA reported that a bounty of S$5,000 had been put up in the hopes of finding the person responsible for the deaths. Ms Lee noted in a Facebook post late on Tuesday night that the National Parks Board (NParks) finished investigations into the death of King Kong, the Nee Soon community cat found dead early last month, saying that it had likely been due to a vehicular accident. The death of the second cat from the area is still under investigation. See also Strange goings-on at SPH 'There is an important need to care for our community, including animals, in our estate. Most importantly, creating a safer environment for all,' the MP wrote, adding that she intends to speak on more penalties for animal welfare offences when Parliament reopens. Ms Lee wrote that Singapore needs stronger laws and enforcement, stricter penalties for cruelty, and better protection for voiceless lives. 'Our animals don't have a voice — but we do,' she added. CNA reported on Jun 4 that NParks has looked into the deaths of four cats, two in Yishun, one in Punggol, and one in Tampines. NParks' group director of enforcement and investigation Jessica Kwok said that a road accident was also the likely cause of the death of the Punggol community cat. 'NParks understands the concerns on cases of alleged animal cruelty, and we would like to assure the public that we take all feedback received from the public on alleged animal cruelty seriously and will investigate them thoroughly, including looking at any new evidence presented,' she added. Meanwhile, a petition calling for stronger enforcement of animal cruelty laws in Singapore has been shared on the platform. 'Community cats in Singapore are increasingly becoming victims of abuse, with more reports of physical harm, poisoning, and neglect surfacing in recent months. These animals, who often rely on the care of volunteers and kind-hearted residents, suffer silently with limited protection. Beyond the cats themselves, caregivers and animal welfare groups are also affected emotionally and financially as they scramble to treat injuries, report abuse, and seek justice within a system that often falls short,' it reads. /TISG /TISG Read also: S$5K bounty offered to find cat killer at Nee Soon; petition for stronger enforcement of animal cruelty laws shared
