ON SUNDAY, one woman stood out from the crowd at the National Day Parade (NDP) as the cameras lingered on her five times during the three-hour live telecast.

She looked every bit the patriotic Singaporean - dressed in red, waving a flag, singing along to Singapore's national songs. She also appeared to be aware of the camera's focus on her.

The mystery beauty turned out to be Emma Li, 李媛媛 (Lǐ yuàn yuàn), 29, a Chinese national who is so bowled over by Singapore that she wants to apply for permanent residency and settle here.

The beauty has drive, too, working as a managing director for a company she set up.

She had watched the fireworks at Marina Bay in 2012 and 2013, but was eager to go for the Jubilee NDP this year for a personal reason.

Miss Lee told The New Paper in Mandarin: "I wanted to attend because I knew that the NDP would be grander this year and it coincided with my lunar calendar birthday."

She put out the word six months ago and a friend surprised her with two tickets.

So Miss Lee flew her mother over from her home town in Chengdu, Sichuan, to join her for the long weekend.

She said: "This is the first time I have watched the parade live. Everyone was so united."

Excitedly, Miss Lee recounted how they were both moved by the parade.

"I told my mother that in Singapore there is no race, we are all equal and we respect everyone regardless of race and religion," said Miss Lee.

"My mother was so touched. She said that she trusted that I could stay in Singapore because it is safe."

After graduation, she set up a local firm, now called SinMetal, that supplies aluminium to companies, including handphone and boat manufacturers.

She said: "I started my company in Singapore because it is fair and transparent."

Miss Lee said she was unaware of her 15 seconds of fame at the parade. "I did not know the camera was on me."

But since then, she has been getting a lot of attention online.

Singapore humour site, SGAG, even tweeted a screengrab from the telecast with the lyrics, "This is where I won't be alone", from the classic National Day tune, Home.

Along with the post was a caption: "She definitely won't be alone after this. #NDP2015 #chiobu."

As of Tuesday, Miss Lee has had up to 100 friend requests and private messages on Facebook and China microblogging website Weibo.

"The messages I received were not threatening or creepy, they were things like, 'I want to be your friend and I'm from China too.'" she said.

"Singapore is a harmonious country," she said. "I especially felt that at the parade when we did the Padang Wave together without any prior rehearsal. Everyone was like one big family."

Still single, she hopes to stay in Singapore.

"Singapore is a harmonious country," she said. "I especially felt that at the parade when we did the Padang Wave together without any prior rehearsal. Everyone was like one big family."

In fact, Miss Lee likes Singapore so much, she hopes to find a Singaporean man. She said: "If there is an opportunity, I will marry someone from Singapore."

PHOTO: She added that she would consider dating a Singaporean man as she is single right now, but that she wouldn't force the issue as she was focused on her career.

SINGAPORE - The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will reprint new folders for the SG50 commemorative notes set to correct a typo which misspelled the name of Singapore's first President, Mr Yusof Ishak.

The sets, launched on Thursday, spelled Mr Yusof Ishak's name on the cover fold and enclosed booklet as "Yusok Ishak".

MAS had said that it would print stickers and paste them over the misspelt part of Mr Yusof Ishak's name.

Banks will continue to issue the current folders bearing the stickers until the news ones are ready at a yet-to-be-announced date.

Singaporeans who wish to exchange the folders for the new ones will be able to do so, an MAS spokesman said in a statement on Friday.

The MAS said the reprinting will also serve to replenish the current stock of folders, which are being taken up much faster than expected.

It noted that demand for the notes and folders have been "overwhelming".

Said the spokesman: "MAS would like to reassure the public that there will be enough SG50 notes for all Singaporeans, and there is no need to rush."

A total of 20 million $50 notes, and 15 million of each of the five $10 notes are being printed. Singaporeans will have priority until Sept 30 to get the notes.

"We have also received feedback from the banks that there are customers who queue repeatedly to get more than the stipulated two folders.

People taking "inappropriate" photographs with a waxwork model of Anaconda singer Nicki Minaj has prompted Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas to lay on extra security for the figure.

Photos appeared online of suggestive poses with the artwork, which is based on the rapper's iconic pose in her Anaconda video - where she's posing in heels on her hands and knees.

Since the Las Vegas museum unveiled it earlier this month, fans have been rushing to be photographed with it.

But some visitors have been getting a bit too excited and taking "inappropriate" pics, says the museum.

Madame Tussauds says that while it wants people to have an "interactive, immersive experience", the waxworks must be "treated respectfully".

It said such things were "unfortunate" and apologised for any offence caused.

Madame Tussauds has brought in extra staff to monitor visitors and will "redesign" the figure too, said a BBC report.

The museum says "guests" were "consistently asking" it to add Nicki to its collection.

Twenty artists spent six month sculpting it.

It's currently in the attraction's music room, which is also home to a figure of Miley Cyrus on her Wrecking Ball.

Minaj has said she loves the figure in Instagram posts and has responded to some of the suggestive poses with emojis associated with crying from laughter.

She has not, however, commented on a photo of a man mounting the figure from behind and pulling its hair - the image that seems to have attracted the biggest backlash.

Rapper Azealia Banks said on Twitter last week that the pose invited such responses and was demeaning to one of the most successful female rap artists in history.

Some people facing death want to fight it at all costs.

Some want to choose the time and manner of their exit. There is a third way that allows the dying space to die - with kindness.

The conversation with N began tentatively. A congenial man in his 70s, he was recently diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer and was receiving radiotherapy.

By then, he was wasted and could hardly eat, hence his admission to the community hospital. Quite feebly, he told me what had happened to him - he was dying. Struck by his calmness and candour (openness), I asked for the source of his fortitude (courage in pain).

He seemed amused but nevertheless obliged: "My children have grown up… nothing to worry now… it doesn't matter."

A tear descended. That was it; there was no need for a complicated explanation. When asked what would be important for him, he inquired if the end would be painful and whether he could go home soon.

N's response to his own dying was neither unique nor uncommon. Unencumbered by the frenzied commotion that often surrounds dying, many can face death in a simple and profound way.

But how we have been deeply touched by the experience of dying determines our stance on dying.

From the impassioned discourse in the recent press and televised ads, we may discern three key positions shaping opinions on dying. Three approaches to dying

MAINTAIN LIFE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
The first position is to do as much as possible to maintain life. The sanctity of life is usually invoked by its proponents, and many also cite anecdotes of how "not giving up" had paid off. Doctors have traditionally

counted significantly among its supporters, as upholding life is a key professional ethic in the medical profession.

EUTHANASIA
The second position maintains that one should have the option to end the suffering of dying by such means as euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide.

It asserts the principle of autonomy and right to self-determination and believes that nothing can address the suffering, meaninglessness and loss of dignity during dying.

By permitting the natural dying process, hospice care is similarly perceived as not alleviating the purposelessness of dying.

HOSPICE CARE
Then we come to the third position described by some writers - hospice and palliative care.

Denying death At first glance, the first two positions - maintaining life for as long as possible or choosing euthanasia - seem like opposites. But from another angle, both represent attempts to avert the experience of dying, either by trying to postpone dying, or avoiding dying by ending life.

But some may ask: "So what's wrong with that? Aren't the pursuit of happiness and the avoidance of suffering normal?"

While this contention sounds valid, one wonders if either of these positions actually results in more happiness and less suffering.

Maintaining life is obviously not wrong, but knowing when to stop can be tricky. At some point, the burden of interventions required to maintain a failing system just doesn't translate to the meaningful life that is desired.

To some, this simply amounts to prolonging death.

Moreover, stories are aplenty of families depleting their savings, taking loans, selling homes and subverting entire ways of life to seek the elusive cure. Ironically, so much of life is used to fend off dying that little is left to live with.

And when the inevitable happens, some may feel "they have tried their best", but others are left with regrets of a failure position - "if only we had more money"; "if only she was strong enough for another round of treatment"; "if only we had more time..."

There is always one more thing that could be done and no shortage of people who can suggest something else.

And how would we face ageing with the prospect of liabilities to us and our families? And how would this change caregiving?

Likewise, the seemingly private decision to end one's own life is also not exempt from significant consequences. In the aftermath, some caregivers may still feel responsible.

Would people who had grown old, infirm, or disabled be obliged to request death because this is now a socially sanctioned way to save yourself and your loved ones from disaster?

And what should we say about the suffering of those with mental disabilities or dementia who could not decide for themselves? More pertinently, to live in a society that believes that the only way the old and sick can find relief is to end their lives is singularly tragic.

Why dying is so painful
But why is the dying experience so unbearable?

First, the aspect that most people dread is the suffering of symptoms from the terminal disease. Second, many struggle over the suffering of the changing "self". This often involves physical function, roles, meaning or identity which we hold as uninfringeable.

For example, if we hold ourselves as that strong, independent and in-control character who rules the office or the house, then finding ourselves needing and relying on others may lead to shame, outrage and meaninglessness.

It is incredible how hard people can be on themselves for not being able to eat more, walk, work, and get well, even as they lie dying.

The third area of suffering is that of separation from others. An immensely painful aspect is the separation from loved ones. Another more sinister aspect is the alienation and isolation that comes with dying.

By considering the healthcare institution as the proper place for dying, we have inadvertently "medicalised" dying.

Dying has become a meaningless disease which must be eradicated or conquered. Moreover, we have lost our familiarity with dying and the care of the dying, which only accentuates our fears and helplessness.

It is perhaps not so coincidental that the first two positions to dying discussed are essentially medical solutions.

The hospice promise
What of the third - hospice and palliative care? Is this really the panacea?

That depends. The hospice and palliative care movement had wanted to address the holistic needs of the dying,

and it notably made remarkable advancements in addressing the distressing symptoms of dying.

But the pioneers in the field had long warned against the dangers of medicalising death and the "routinisation" of palliative care.

Following the earlier discussion, if it becomes another medical approach that prescribes a certain way for people to die with a routine cocktail of medications, then it will sorely miss the point, whether the interventions are "evidence based" or not. It will be yet another attempt to compulsively fix dying out of our fears and bias.

But what hospice and palliative care have been able to demonstrate is how not pushing away dying and giving it a legitimate space have been beneficial.

Such a space is needed for the dying person and those around to hold their suffering just a little longer, so that they may find a way to live on.

But to even contain such deep suffering without any reactivity, what is required are a kind regard for all stances, and the willingness to hold suffering.

Clearly, such kindness and compassion must not be construed in lofty or sentimental ways, but as real acts which may neither feel good nor convenient.

It is, therefore, something that needs to be consciously cultivated and nurtured.

But we may start with two intentions:
Be kind and compassionate to the self. The experience of dying is difficult enough.

https://pastormikesellers.wordpress.com/2013/11/11/can-you-shoulder-the-burden-of-forgiveness/

There is no need to judge ourselves harshly for what we could not do, had not done, did not achieve, or will not be able to do, as a dying person, as a caregiver and as a medical professional.

Anyway, what exactly do we need to cling on to and not let go when death approaches? Like N, we can keep things simple by sticking with the essential things.

Be kind and compassionate to others. What goes around comes around. To imagine that we can go solo in the path of life and dying is unrealistic and indeed painful.

Knowing that we will also die one day, we can start to do for others what we would like ourselves to experience.

We need a community to create the spaces that will contain the suffering of the aged, infirm and dying without marginalisation or estrangement.

It won't be easy or quick, but this may be what will eventually save us.

One act at a time, starting now till we die.

The Seventh Lunar Month is in full swing, during which it is traditionally believed that the gates of Hell open to let spirits roam the streets. But during this Hungry Ghost season, there is a different kind of hungry visitor from across another border: the Malaysian getai performer.

Malaysian acts have long been familiar sights in local getai, which are concerts believed to appease ghosts so that they do not disturb the living.

However, with the ringgit at a record low against the Singapore dollar (about RM2.97 to S$1), more Malaysians are crossing the Causeway to take advantage of the stronger Singapore currency.

The result is a Malaysian invasion, with some Singaporean acts feeling the heat, say getai organisers.

Veteran local getai organiser Peter Loh, 64, estimates there is a 30 per cent increase in the number of Malaysians coming here. He is organising 30 concerts across Singapore during the Hungry Ghost season, which runs from Aug 14 to Sept 12 this year.

For him, it makes financial sense to hire Malaysians because they are cheaper and better.

"Malaysian performers do whatever they can to make their shows more exciting - from spending more money on costumes to changing their act," says the man who has been organising getai concerts for more than 40 years.

"Singaporean performers are very sui bian (lackadaisical in Mandarin) in comparison."

In his line-up of performers this year, four out of 10 singers are Malaysians, double last year's number.

PHOTO: In the weeks leading up to the getai season, Peter Loh, 64, received many phone calls and social media messages from aspiring Malaysian singers hoping to be booked for jobs here.
"If Malaysian getai singers cost me less money but can deliver equally or even more entertaining shows, then why wouldn't I choose to hire them?" Mr Loh says.

In the weeks leading up to the getai season, he received many phone calls and social media messages from aspiring Malaysian singers hoping to be booked for jobs here.

"I don't even ask them to send me video samples of their work when they call me because Malaysian getai singers are, in general, of a high standard," he says.

PHOTO: On average, a Malaysian getai singer is paid $80 to $100 to sing three songs here. That is more than the RM180 to RM200 (S$60 to S$67) they would make back home to cover six songs.

To him, it all boils down to what is value for money.

"If Malaysian getai singers cost me less money but can deliver equally or even more entertaining shows, then why wouldn't I choose to hire them?" Mr Loh says. "I am a businessman after all."

That said, the A-listers, regardless of nationality, such as Singapore's Wang Lei, Taiwan's Hao Hao and Malaysia's Li Baoen, are still in demand.

PHOTO: Besides the better money, foreign getai singers also face little red tape from the authorities. They are not required to apply for a work pass to work here while on their social visit pass, which is subject to a maximum period of 60 days. Rising Malaysian getai singer- dancer Sun Cola, 18, for example, leaves her house in Johor Baru by 4pm to get to a 7.30pm show in Singapore.

http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/johor-getai-singers-flocking-singapore

This is how the business works: A client, say a wet market association or a clan association, pays a lump sum to a getai organiser to put on a show.

A show typically costs anything from $4,000 to $16,000 and the money is used to cover everything from the performers' fees to stage, lighting and music equipment set-ups. The organisers then take a cut of whatever funds are left.

What is Potassium?

An important mineral that mainly regulates normal function of our muscles (including heart) and nerves.
Found in many foods such as fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, milk and diary.
Blood potassium level is regulated by your kidney through urine and maintained at the range of 3.5 to 5.1 mmol/L.

Hyperkalaemia (High potassium in the blood)

May happen to people with chronic kidney disease and those on certain medications for blood pressure.
It will interfere with our muscle functions, including heart muscles which may lead to irregular heart beat.
Under the direction of the clinician, limit the amount of potassium in the diet to keep the potassium level close to normal.

How diet may help you maintain your blood potassium level within the normal range?
Tip #1: Eat a healthy balanced diet with limited intake of high potassium foods and drinks.
Tip #2: Enjoy 2 serves each of fruits and vegetables. Watch your portion sizes because excessive intake of fruits may lead to high potassium level in e.g. fruit/vegetables juices.
Tip #3: Potassium is easily leeched out into the water. To do this, try,
1. Cut your vegetables into smaller pieces, then
2. (a) Soak in water for at least 2 hours → drain away water before cooking → boil in plenty of water for 10 to 15 minutes (OR)
(b) Boil in plenty of water for 10 to 15 minutes → drain away water after cooking → repeat the boiling again
Remember do not use the same water to make soup or gravy
Tip #4:Do not use potassium-rich salt e.g. PanSalt and Losalt. Use more herbs and spices to enhance the flavours of your foods.

THE getai is visible from where I am in the car, engine idling, waiting for the lights to change. It is housed under a white tent, like a jellyfish shooting forth purple laser lights.

I drive past, rubbernecking a little, then dial home from the carpark at the foot of my block. My 5¾-year-old son picks up the phone.

"Free concert!" I say. "Want to go and watch a free concert? If you do, come downstairs now!"

"I want! I want! Yes!" replies the boy, always on the lookout for a good deal, proving once again that he is my child and no hospital nursery mix-up.

PHOTO: 吴佩芝 (Wú pèi zhī, Wu Pei Zhi) on stage. Kitsch as it may seem, Getai has a wide reach in Singapore.
Love it or hate it – some find the form of entertainment crude and even kitsch, Getai (歌台 gē tái) has firmly established itself as a very popular form of street entertainment in modern day Singapore. It had its roots not in the 1960s, but in the 1970s when waning interest in Chinese puppet shows and opera performances which were features of temple festivals and seventh month (Hungry Ghosts festival) auctions saw them being replaced by live variety shows which came to be referred to as Getai, which translates into “Song Stage”.

Before long, the Supportive Spouse and I, with the younger son in tow (at 9.30pm on a school night, his primary-schoolgoing elder brother already fast asleep), are tramping over calf-tickling grass towards the stage set up in an open field. A Seventh Month dinner-cum-auction is in full swing next to it, the auctioneer's rapid-fire speech competing a little with the musical strains coming from the getai.

It is a first for our family - actually attending a getai performance. My husband and I have gawked at such shows from afar, but never at such close quarters; never committing ourselves to an entire show. But when in Rome, do as the other getai spectators do. We help ourselves to some red plastic chairs stacked next to the tent, and plonk ourselves at an angle to the action, making sure not to block the view of others there first.

The show is already in full swing, and the boy is immediately hooked. He sits on his red chair and stares unblinkingly at the female performers, who belt out Hokkien and Cantonese ditties, in front of two big screens projecting their names and glamour shots against psychedelic patterns. Even though he doesn't understand when the host and performers banter in a mix of Mandarin and Chinese dialects, he studies their interaction with the interest of an anthropologist.

One performer gives a credible rendition of Beyond's Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies ("E key," she'd requested sweetly of the electric band hidden behind the projection screens). Another, an attractive singer from Johor Baru, wears a costume of strategically sequinned black mesh, cut to show off her long legs and showcase her hair-eography. One audience member, a reed-thin grey-haired man, saunters up close to the stage and holds up not a smartphone to photograph her, but an ancient, black, portable cassette-recorder to record her voice.

There is a certain heady scent in the air: of burning joss sticks and paper, the ash and embers quietly falling over in the pails, a few metres from us; of cigarette smoke, curling from the ends of bookish bespectacled middle-aged men's hands; and some unknown ingredient - either magic or belief, faith or superstition, or perhaps it's all notes of the same thing.

A SHOW FOR ALL
Royston Tan's 2007 film 881 did much to make getai culture mainstream, giving more exposure to the concerts, usually staged by Chinese towkays and business associations during the Hungry Ghost Festival. For now, at least, it is easy to believe that this magic, of concerts free for the spirits and for the living, will continue and find an audience with my son's generation.

It is one of those levelling experiences, where self-made millionaires can sit next to foreign workers, young next to old, and enjoy infectious melodies and rhythms.

A woman in a purple floral house dress sits directly in front of me. From the way she is slowly leaning to her right, in danger of slipping off her chair - red, plastic, like mine - I can tell she is falling asleep. She always jerks awake in time, though, so I know she'll be all right.

Another woman, with leonine hair, brings her own yellow foldable stool. She grins at us, pseudo-apologetically, as she unfolds it right in front, the latecomer claiming pole position. But the gig is free for us, nobody paid for seats, so who can complain?

The Hungry Ghost Festival, which runs until Sept 12 this year, may be a cultural-religious tradition meant to appease restless spirits. Yet, it is ultimately more for the living than the dead: to blow off steam, make some noise and create some light to force back the night. To reaffirm to ourselves that we have bodies, capable of being moved and entertained. To know that this life is our turn in the spotlight, our only shot in this song-stage of a universe. To wholeheartedly celebrate and applaud this moment of splendour.

Ms Chen Xiao Xin, 29, during a getai performance. On stage, wearing what resembled the fashion featured in the getai film 881, was belting out Hokkien and Mandarin songs to thunderous applause and loud cheers.
While the 29-year-old performer wore a hot pink tank top and shorts with colourful ribbons wrapped about her midriff, it was nowhere as risque as some getai performances from last year.
There was no stripping of clothes or acrobatic dancing about a pole at the start of the Hungry Ghost Festival at a getai at the field in front of City Plaza.

As children, we want this show to go on forever - but who can resent a gift, a chance encounter, a fortuitous event espied from a traffic junction, if it makes you happy for a spell and then departs?

"Why did we get here so late?" complains the 5¾-year-old, as the music fades half an hour later, the chairs are restacked and we tramp home over the tall grass again. "I want more."

"I didn't know it was even going to be on," I explain, holding his tiny hand. "Aren't you glad we caught it?"

She has already been dubbed the Workers' Party's (WP) Nicole Seah.

A favourite with the online crowd, netizens said Miss He Ting Ru had turned heads at party walkabouts and outreach events for her sincerity and compassion even before her formal introduction as a candidate for this election.

She stood out among the four candidates WP introduced at its party headquarters yesterday.

Some called for WP to "send her to Fengshan SMC" on online forums, while others compared her with Ms Seah.

Ms Seah praised Miss He "as a very smart and nice person" online on Tuesday.

"What I appreciate about WP is that they have very clear processes for candidacy and membership. There is no fast track or parachuting. So Ting Ru has really gotten to this point because of her hard work helping at the legal and grassroots level.

"I fully support," Ms Seah said.

Miss He started volunteering for WP's Paya Lebar division after her return from the UK in 2011. She joined the party in 2013.

She is now the secretary of WP's youth wing and oversees its outreach efforts.

The 32-year-old corporate lawyer, who heads her firm's legal department, spoke about reasons for joining the opposition party.

Said Miss He: "I believe that Singaporeans are not numbers on a spreadsheet. Singaporeans want to participate more actively in determining the future of our country.

"I do not think we should rely solely on our country's few natural aristocrats to do so."

PET TOPICS
Her pet topics include youth-related issues and their lack of involvement in policy-making.

She said young people of her generation are worried about "the pressures of setting out in life, the cost of housing, the cost of having children and the cost of care for parents and grandparents."

Said Miss He: "They are also concerned about the dilution of the Singapore core and the impact that large scale immigration has on the fabric of our society.

"Unlike earlier generations, some young Singaporeans no longer think to dream of a better life and a future for themselves and their children."

The party also introduced managing director of a tech company Mr Adrian Sim, real estate agent Ron Tan Jun Yen and WP deputy treasurer L. Somasundaram, a polytechnic lecturer.

WP has not announced where any of the new candidates will be fielded.

A picture of a three-year-old boy named Aylan Kurdi and his five-year-old brother, Galip, were photographed face down ashore on a Turkish beach on Wednesday (Sep 2).

The heart-rending pictures of their lifeless bodies in the surf at one of Turkey's main tourist resorts had inspired artists from all around the world to draw cartoons of the children. Their deaths bring to light the growing fears and dangers of Europe's refugee crisis.

Wearing a red T-shirt and blue shorts when he was found dead, Aylan is believed to be one of least 12 Syrians who died when their boats sank trying to reach Greece. Aylan and Galip's family were reported attempting to leave Syria and escaping to Canada.

The children's father, Abdullah Kurdi, collapsed in tears after emerging from a morgue in the city of Mugla near Bodrum in Turkey when he identified their bodies, according to Thomson Reuters.

Mr Kurdi's wife, Rehan, 35, also perished along with their two sons.

in the statement. "Everyone was screaming in pitch darkness. I couldn't make my voice heard to my wife and kids."

There's something about elections season that brings out the creative streak in Singaporeans.

As the island prepares to head for the polls on Friday (11 September 2015), some talented citizens have been getting their artistic flair on and sharing their works on social media.

Days after President Tony Tan Keng Yam issued the Writ of Election of Aug 25, Facebook page A Good Citizen released a cartoon by Citizen Dan featuring several candidates – namely Dr Chee Soon Juan, Ms Kevryn Lim, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Mr Low Thia Khiang and Mr Kenneth Jeyaretnam – as the playable character classes from popular role-playing game franchise, Diablo.

You can wear this artwork by Citizen Dan. From now till polling day you can grab this design (and others) at The Local Collective for SGD25. The Local Collective is the not-so-official merchandiser for GE2015.

If you really dig the design, you can even get it as a T-shirt from The Local Collective.

Candidates haven't just been getting the video game treatment – thanks to the online brigade of Photoshoppers like Facebook page PixelGod, they've been turned into movie characters and superheroes as well.

Local film-maker Royston Tan even spotted a spoof of his upcoming movie 3688 on social media and sent it to us.

Reflection - Walking with the Lord

September 15, 2015, 2:04 am

≫ Next: King David, Bathsheba and Uriah the Hittite

≪ Previous: Singapore Votes 2015

Source (book): "Faithful to the end", Question 2, Page 80.
By Robert M. Solomon, Bishop of the Methodist Church in Singapore from 2000 - 2012

PHOTO: Reflection - Walking with the Lord
"Since Christ wishes us to strive all our days, the man who fails half-way to victory loses his honour, even though he may have begun bravely."[7] There is no place for half-hearted attempts or half-finished races in the kingdom of God. It is not that God demands of us an impossible task. For what He demands of us, He also enables us - with divine grace.

"There is no place for half-hearted attempts or half-finished races in the Kingdom of God." In God's presence, examine yourself to see whether there are such abandoned works for the Lord. Turn your reflection into prayer. Discuss the danger of chasing after the latest fads and fashions for a church. How can this produce an addiction to "religious theme park rides" that go nowhere and contribute to the lack of walking with the Lord in a real journey or race?

"There is no place for half-hearted attempts or half-finished races in the Kingdom of God." In God's presence, examine yourself to see whether there are such abandoned works for the Lord.
The Disciplined Athlete [1]
To summarise, Paul deploys the metaphor of the athlete who has the right motive of an all-out desire to win, the right habits of self-disciplined training, and the right value system with regards to God's laws. This indeed is a high standard, without which one only attains mediocrity. And mediocre Christians are not very useful to Christ. As John Calvin reiterates: "Since Christ wishes us to strive all our days, the man who fails half-way to victory loses his honour, even though he may have begun bravely."[7] There is no place for half-hearted attempts or half-finished races in the kingdom of God. It is not that God demands of us an impossible task. For what He demands of us, He also enables us - with divine grace. [1]

Lack of obedience - We struggling to finish in such a way that the end does not glorifies God. [2]
We would like God to just accept the fact that we’re running. We want Him to give us the blue ribbon no matter how we end up crossing the finish line. But God is a trainer and coach who won’t settle for less than His image stamped into our character. In God’s program, finishing well is the goal, no matter how long it takes to get there. The race is not to the swift but to the obedient. We need to be obedient to submit to the exacting demands imposed by the coach. We need to pursue life in a manner that is pleasurable to the Lord.

As an athletic we need to be obedient to submit to the exacting demands imposed by the coach. We need to pursue life in a manner that is pleasurable to the Lord.

Lack of trust or faith in God's plan[2]
In order to finish well, I need trust or faith in God's training plan until He accomplishes what He wants, not until I think I’ve had enough. The Author and Finisher is the One Who pushes me toward the high goal of beautiful perfection. He is the Author because it is His plan. He is the Finisher because He led the way – and He lifts, encourages, teaches, trains and manages me as I follow Him. When the course gets really rough, when I falter and stumble, I know He won’t quit on me. He has the end in mind. So must I. We need the unswerving faithfulness and clear focus in the work assigned by the Lord.

PHOTO: Lack of trust or faith in God's plan
Let Go and Let God. We have been struggling with giving complete control over to the Lord. Mainly this issue has been coming up because we are having trouble trusting Him wholeheartedly. We still try to control things that should be held in His hands. The Author and Finisher is the One Who pushes me toward the high goal of beautiful perfection.

Lack of endurance or perseverance till the end[2]
We live like a shooting star that has a momentary spectacular burst of light as it streaks across the heavens and captures the attention of everyone for a moment, but soon it is gone, disappearing into the blackness of the night. Even in the midst of the amazing miracles and wondrous works of God, the hedonistic pleasures of the world pull us away. We are to persist with the energy and strength that Christ provided, do not hold back, but offer ourselves as cleansed instrument and channel of God's redemptive power. The Christian life is not a race to see who comes in first, but an endurance run to see who finishes till the end. We are judged by what we finish, not by what we start.

Governed by the flesh instead of by the Spirit [2]
To finish well there can be no compromise with the flesh. It must be reckoned crucified, dead and powerless to exercise control over my emotions, mind and will. We cannot allow the flesh to keep our thoughts, words, actions, emotions, will, and heart enslaved to sin. There is a daily conflict between the spirit and the flesh regarding how our natural will, emotions and desires will be exercised in determining the things we think, say and do. It is never God’s purpose to improve the flesh, to educate it or tame it, let alone Christianize it. It has always been God’s purpose for the flesh-condemned, sentenced, and crucified with Jesus Christ - might be left buried in the tomb and replaced with the resurrection Life of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. The risen Christ must exercise control in our mind, our emotions, and in our will, expressing Himself through our personality and our entire being (Ephesians 3:16,17). Then we can truly say like Paul: “For me to live is Christ” and “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." We must allow Christ to live His life through us. Christ is to now live on this earth through the born again Christian.

Lack of action (to spread the gospel)
To finish well we must live for another kingdom. The believers in Acts were common people like us, but wherever they went, things happened. They turned the world upside down. They were revolutionaries who had heard the call of God. The Lord Jesus was a revolutionary. Wherever he went nothing remained the same. We must be different than the world. The advice of Solomon in this case is most seasonable: “Whatever your hand finds to do—do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.”(Ecclesiastes 9:10).

Unable to say: “It has been accomplished” [2]
When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” (John 19:30), and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. “It is finished.”, the goal, the end, the completion. Jesus accomplished his purpose for living. we translate this word as, “It has been accomplished.” It is not about the end of his life. It is about the new beginning of everything. This is the summary word of the plan of God. It is the word that redeems Mankind, restores the creation and fulfills God’s intention. When we utter our last, summary word, will we be able to say with Him, “It has been accomplished”?

PHOTO: Unable to say: “It has been accomplished”
Literally translated the Greek word tetelestai means, "It is finished." The word "finished" occurs in John 19:28 and 19:30 and these are the only two places in the New Testament where it occurs.
The word tetelestai was also written on business documents or receipts in New Testament times to show that a bill had been paid in full.
Jesus, who probably spoke Aramaic, may very well have spoken the Greek word "Tetelestai" which would have clearly been understood by all present, Jews, Gentiles, Romans, and others REGARDLESS of their native tongue. Tetelestai is a word we should learn similar to the "Paid In Full" message we see stamped on bills today....

These are the only two alternatives to how we finish our life. [2]
We either are overcome with evil or overcome evil with good.

We are either governed by the flesh in which there is no good thing or the spirit.

To finish well we must live for another kingdom.

We cannot live for ourselves anymore. We can make a difference in turning a generation from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. It is time. We must finish well. The result of such commitment, self-discipline, and persevering diligence is a rich harvest that is given by grace of God.

Turn your reflection into prayer.[2]
Yes, Lord, we pray to be obedient, to trust and have faith in Your plan for us.

We pray that we are useful to the Lord by spreading the gospel.

We pray for help to lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race till the end and able to say: “It has been accomplished”.

Help us to look to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who endured the cross, despising the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Help us consider Jesus who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that we may not grow weary or fainthearted.

We pray that we should be concerned with giving significance and value to all our years and not letting them end in shame and disgrace. Help us to pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness, and to pursue life in a manner that is pleasurable to You.

Let Your will be done, Lord.
Amen, Lord.

Discuss the danger of chasing after the latest fads (temporary fashions) and fashions for a church.

Biblical Jesus and Fad Jesus[3]
We have created our own Jesus. He takes many different forms but he is what we call fad Jesus. Fad can be defined as, “a temporary fashion, notion, manner of conduct, etc. esp. one followed enthusiastically by a group.”

Jesus is not a popular guy, nor is that His desire. In John 6, verse 2 we see that the crowds were following him, even still in verse 25 they are going to great lengths to find him and seek after him, but after they hear his teachings and get more acquainted with who Jesus really is in verse 66 we see that the masses leave. That is because Jesus is not a fad.

There is only one biblical Jesus but there are different versions of fad Jesus; Superhero Jesus, South Park Jesus, Homeboy Jesus, and Cool Jesus.

Superhero Jesus v. Biblical Jesus[3]
In recent years Superhero Jesus has gained many followers. Perhaps it comes from the doctrine of His omnipotence; “the fact that He is all-powerful” and that He can work miracles. Of course because Jesus is all-powerful (which he really is) then that means that He is the best at everything (which He is). So doesn’t that mean that Jesus is an amazing football player? Certainly he would be a great coach too.

This idea of Superhero Jesus has been around since a little after the time of Jesus. We can find in writings from the Gnostics (a heretical group), known as the infancy gospels, that the boy Jesus had many cool superhero qualities.

These stories or this “fad Jesus” has in common is the idea that Jesus does miracles to please people, to have fun, or to display his coolness. We can see in John 6 that in some way the people view Jesus this way. They view him in a way that asks, “What are you going to do to entertain us”? What will you do to please us? What type of miracle are you going to do for us today Jesus? We see this when the people asked Jesus to show them a sign that they might believe.

We see in verse 5 that one of the reasons for the biblical Jesus’ miracle of feeding the multitude was His compassion. He saw them; he knew they were hungry so he desired to feed them. It arose from his compassion, not a desire to do some sort of magic trick so that the people might be impressed. We see in the gospels, especially the gospel of John, that all of Jesus’ miracles and works have a purpose: to testify that Jesus is who He says He is, the Son of God who has come to take away the sins of the world and usher in the Kingdom of God. As Jesus himself said in v38-40, “For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believe in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

What is the danger of this “fad Jesus” and what is the beauty of the biblical Jesus?
One of the dangers is clearly spelled out in the gospel of John. John throughout his gospel continuously contrasts “signs-faith” with biblical saving faith. In most instances whenever a person “comes to Jesus” because of some sort of sign or miracle that faith does not last. The reason is because, as Jesus said in verse 26, you aren’t looking for me. You do not want to love Jesus, you want a band-aid. You want a superhero to come in and solve all of your problems. You want someone to make you good at football, or singing, or skateboarding, or to make you attractive to others.

And this is where it is dangerous - God is all powerful. God can do all things, and this is in no way to negate how awesome God is. But the point is to show that God has purpose behind all that He does. His ultimate purpose is to be glorified through the redeeming of sinful mankind and through our enjoyment of Him. One of God’s major purposes is for our joy, our joy in Him. If it were Jesus’ goal to come down and show off his muscles and be on a Super Bowl winning team and through this to win the people’s approval then He wouldn’t have withdrew in verse 15, he would have allowed them to make Him king.

But Jesus is much greater than that. Jesus has a much greater purpose for our life than just filling our temporary needs. As He was showing the crowd in John 6, “I have something much better to offer you. Food that lasts!” C.S. Lewis echoed what Jesus is saying here when he said, “If we consider the unblushing promises in the Gospel, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us”. And that is why Superhero Jesus is dangerous, because it rips us off. It allows us to settle on a miracle-worker that shows us cool tricks but that we have no part in, He’s a football player that we watch, rather than the person that we love and enjoy. He is the superhero that we like rather than the God whom we worship. [3]

Cool Jesus v. Biblical Jesus [3]
Cool Jesus is much like Homeboy Jesus that we will see later, the only difference is this one is driven by the need to be liked and the constant changes of popular culture while Homeboy Jesus just wants to be one of the guys. Cool Jesus is the disco-dancing, handsome, tattoo-sporting, rave-loving fellow. “Cool Jesus” might even be the product of the church. For years now the church has tried to make Jesus “cool” or relevant; especially to teenagers. For years, youth ministry has been based around “what will get teens to come to church”?“What will make Jesus cool, to these teenagers”? Churches have spent millions of dollars to make Jesus cool and relevant - congratulations we have succeeded.

We have asked for this blasphemous character of Jesus because we have ourselves sold out to modern culture. In our attempt to become “all things to all people” as the apostle Paul we have in essence become irreverent (disrespectful), blasphemous, and unbelieving in our quest to win people for a Jesus that we really do not see as sufficient. Otherwise we would not find a need to go through all these troubles to “make Jesus” relevant, we would know that the gospel itself is relevant for all ages and has the power in and of itself to convert! Cool Jesus, is driven by popular culture and the need to be liked.

The people were asking how to get their temporary needs met. How can I feel good? How can I be fed? How can I get better clothes? A nicer house? A car? A smokin’ hot girlfriend? Will Jesus help me with this? Cool Jesus is to be thanked for giving someone a “smokin’ hot girlfriend”. But biblical Jesus is saying - you are not seeking eternal life? You are not seeking me, the life-giving Son of God, you are seeking a band-aid, a pill, a McDonald’s happy meal! You’re seeking the next best thing, and something just to throw in with all your other neat little treasures.

What about the biblical Jesus? Was he driven by a need to be liked? I mean isn’t that our goal in evangelism, to get people to like Jesus? Who is going to like a guy who lived 2,000 years ago in a culture totally different than ours? Don’t we need to modernize Jesus? Isn’t that our goal? We see that the biblical Jesus is none of this. Was Jesus concerned with belief? Yes. Did Jesus want to create follower and worshippers? Yes. But we can see the difference between cool Jesus and the biblical Jesus in verse 15 of John 6.

The people desired to make Jesus their king, and they were even going to do it by force if necessary. If Jesus’ passion had been for public approval and to set up an earthly kingdom then this would have been his chance. He had a captive audience, a people who desired for him to be king, but what did he do? He withdrew. Why did Jesus do that? Because Jesus is not concerned with empty worship, he will take a back seat to our other affections. We have learned from v26 that their desire was not for Jesus himself.

They had no desire to worship Jesus, they only wanted what he had to offer and thought He could deliver them from Roman persecution. Biblical Jesus is not all that concerned with whether or not you think He is cool. In fact the Bible almost seems to paint a much different picture. Jesus seems to teach in the gospels that the world will hate Him, and will hate His followers. Hate is a strong word. It means to be repulsed by something. The simple truth is that Jesus, even though He is the only source to eternal life is often rejected. Jesus Christ and his cross are offensive and we cannot get around that nor should we try to.

What is the danger of “Cool Jesus” and what is the beauty of biblical Jesus?
Cool Jesus is a fad. If you are only following “cool Jesus” as soon as he stops being cool, and believe me he will, then you are going to turn your back on him. That is what the people in John 6 did. They were following Him while he was popular. When they only had a surface understanding of who Jesus was, when they viewed Him as the miracle-worker, when he was just that guy who turned a few loaves of bread and a couple fish into a huge banquet, then they followed him. However, once Jesus started talking about commitment, once Jesus spoke in difficult terms the people started backing out. And that is what happens when you are only following Cool Jesus, or Superhero Jesus for that matter.

If our affection is not powerful enough to live for Him then it will not be enough to die for Him. Might the Spirit of God change our hearts and stir our affections. [3]

Homeboy Jesus [4]
Homeboy Jesus has gained much popularity in recent years. People such as Ashton Kutcher have even been seen wearing shirts that say Jesus is My Homeboy. Now granted some who wear these shirts mean no offense, others probably such as Ashton Kutcher intend it to be a joke. What is meant by Homeboy Jesus? I believe what is meant is that Jesus is common, just like us, and easily attainable.

This idea of Jesus as our Homeboy more than likely comes from a misunderstanding of what Jesus means by saying we are His friends. Instead of understanding Jesus to mean that He is bridging the gap between sinful humanity and a holy God so that now we have become “friends”: whereas the enmity, which has now been removed. But the problem with Homeboy Jesus is that it takes our friendship with Jesus too far into the realm of irreverence (disrespectful). We must understand that God did indeed become one of us but He also still remained to be God.

We see the roots of Homeboy Jesus in John 6:42 when the grumbling Jews, say “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he know say, “I have come down from heaven”? Their great mistake is that they think that Jesus is common and just like them. “We know your parents Jesus” so how can you say that you are eternal?
The gospel of Jesus Christ says this, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him”. Homeboy Jesus is easily accessible but the biblical Jesus - no man will find appealing or come to unless the Father draws him.

In John 6:53 Jesus says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you”. That is another way of saying that if we are not in union with Jesus Christ then we have nothing of eternal life in us. The gospel is utterly opposed to human righteousness. Because there is no such thing - it is a deception of Satan. The gospel tells us that we are utterly fallen and that we have forsaken God and turned to our idols. We have no claim upon God, yet He is might to save us from our fallen condition if we trust in His righteousness instead of our own.

One of the great dangers of Homeboy Jesus is that it makes us think that Jesus isn’t really much different than us. It makes us think that He is easily attainable. Therefore, we never attain Him. We do not treat Him as He is, the Lord of our lives. Homeboy Jesus is not Lord Jesus. We don’t bow our knees to our Homeboy. We don’t submit our lives to our Homeboys. So therefore, people keep Jesus, the biblical Jesus, the Lord Jesus, they keep Him at a distance.

And this distancing and rejection of Christ, only further proves Scripture and exposes the problems of the people in John 6. They were thinking that Jesus was just like them. It was because they only saw Joseph and Mary’s little baby boy. They figured that they could get to Jesus through their human ability, and through their own righteousness. [4]

South Park Jesus [4]
Few people are passionate followers of South Park Jesus. Perhaps it is because deep down many view Jesus the same way that the creators of South Park, the Simpson’s, and Family Guy do, as weak and impotent, with feelings that are easy to hurt. Popular culture has begun to view Jesus as weak and impotent with feelings easy to hurt is because that is what the church itself has come to believe. Of course we would never say those words but our prayers, our life style, our evangelism, and our preaching exposes us.

The difference between the biblical Jesus and the weak impotent Jesus of South Park is in the power of these words of Jesus in John 6: v.37, “All that the Father gives me will come to me”. There is no options. If you have been given to Jesus Christ then you will indeed come.

How do I know if the Father has given me to Jesus? And Christ is giving you an answer in the latter part of verse 37, “And whoever comes to me I will never cast out”. If you come to Jesus Christ he will not drive you away. It is not as if this verse is saying, “Unless you are belong to Jesus, God is going to reject you even if you try to come”. Jesus is not weak, impotent and waiting. He is powerful to come and save, He is powerful to draw and save all those that are His.

More of the power of Jesus Christ. v.39, “And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day”. Jesus is not only powerful to save. He is also powerful to keep. When He saves us He also keeps us. The Holy Spirit works in us to make us holy. We will stay with Jesus because he will stay with us!

Christ promises eternal life, a weak and impotent South Park Jesus cannot promise eternal life. It seems like South Park Jesus is more of an inviting, “Check Yes or No” type of Jesus while the biblical Jesus is a promise maker with power to come through. Jesus says I give eternal life and that is a promise. We can count on that. The truth of Jesus is not that He is weak and impotent and that He has feelings that are easy to be hurt. The truth of Jesus Christ is that He is intimidating, powerful, and able to accomplish His purposes.

Perhaps God has opened up the eyes of our heart and we now see that Jesus is neither weak nor impotent. And we have to come to realize that we are not the center but He is. We see that Jesus refuses empty worship and that he will not take a back seat to our affections, and that is we now want to give Him. Perhaps now we confess with Peter, “Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”

God has done a work on our heart, and the Father is drawing us to see the preciousness of Jesus Christ. Jesus says “whoever comes to me I will never cast out”. If we come, no matter who we are or what we have done, if we come to Jesus He says I will not cast you away. I will not reject you. Though the world has, though others have, I will not. Come to me!

How can this (chasing after the latest fads and fashions) produce an addiction to "religious theme park rides" that go nowhere and contribute to the lack of walking with the Lord in a real journey or race?

Contemporary worship of fad Jesus is a deliberate attempt to appeal to people who found liturgical services stuffy and dull. This is how chasing after the latest fads and fashions for a church produces an addiction to"religious theme park rides". It’s been so successful that many Christians have never experienced any other kind of service. [5]

Some ideas for Religious Theme Park rides; The Holy Roller Coaster and the Parting of the Red Sea water park, the Pharoh's Wheel, the Mother Mary go-round, The Holy Ghost Ride, The Jesus Train, The Ferris wheel, The Spiritual Uplift, and the Ring of Fire and Brimstone. [6]

And a booth where you can use sling shots to shoot stones at replicates of Goliath...knock him down and you get a new loin cloth.

And a booth where you can throw stones at replicates of "loose women" and win a free ride on the Mother Mary Go-Round...

And a cave with a huge stone in front of it...If you can roll the stone aside you get two tickets to ride the Holy Roller Coaster.

Shaker's elevator of chastity. You slowly go up to the top of a woman, and when you are about to meet the lips of the woman the elevator plunges down.

Why not have a 'Jesus on the cross' in the style of one of those tanks where you sit and people throw things at a target to dunk you in the water. It would be holy water of course!

Watch the non-believers burn as you ride through The "Heretics in H-E-double-toothpicks Haunted House."

"Whack a Demon!" Using our patented Bible on a Stick, you can call upon the spirit of the Lord to smite those pesky evil demons as they pop-up and spit at you!

"The Apocalypse" in all it's bloodthirsty glory!! Watch what's going to happen to the world from the comforts of your very own heavenly cloud!! [6]

Fad Jesus offers attractive "religious theme park rides" so that we can become cool. We've all endured pastors who try to use a pop culture reference in a sermon but reveals just how out of touch they are. We weren't called to be cool or to pursue cool. That, goes nowhere and contribute to the lack of walking with the Lord in a real journey or race. Our addiction is sucking us dry of meaning, depth, and future relevance. Church isn’t cool, especially when it is trying to be. The Church needs to sober its addiction to such services. [5]

PHOTO: We pray that God might use His Word and His servant to expose the Fad Jesus and point us to the biblical Jesus.
If our affection is not powerful enough to live and die for Him, may the Spirit of God change our hearts and stir our affections.
We pray that we do not live just for ourselves but to make a difference in turning a generation from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God.
Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart Be acceptable in Your sight.
We confess with Peter, “Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”

Bethsabee : Jean-Leon Gerome painting. Jean-Leon Gerome was a French painter and sculptor in the style now known as Academicism. The range of his oeuvre (work of a painter) included historical painting, Greek mythology, Orientalism, portraits and other subjects, bringing the Academic painting tradition to an artistic climax.

King David, anointed of the Lord, the Jewish hero who killed the giant Goliath, subjugated (overcome) the Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites and Arameans, but his heart was overwhelmed by Bathsheba.

It was told in the Old Testament that King David, after taking a nap, saw from his palace a "very beautiful" woman who showered. She was Bathsheba. King David asked that she be brought to the palace, and soon after they met - in the purest human sense, Bathsheba became pregnant.

That would be no problem, but Bathsheba was already married to another man, Uriah. After Bathsheba told David that she had conceived, the king tried to remedy the situation. He sent for his good friend Uriah and tried to convince him to go home. There, Bathsheba and Uriah would went to bed and everything would be solved. Uriah would then supposedly be the father of Bathsheba's child.

Only Uriah refused. Not once but twice. For a soldier as honoured as him, he was unwilling to enjoy sexual charms of a woman while his companions were at war.

So David asked Joab the commander of his army, to put Uriah in the place where the war against the Ammonites were the most violent. The following were the words of David "Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die." (2 Samuel 11:15)

And that was what had happened. Bathsheba was then free but not alone. After the fight, she became, officially, David's wife. Men like David could have several wives. Bathsheba was the eighth. She also had another son with David, whose name was Solomon.

But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.

The prophet Nathan confronted David, saying: "Why have you despised the word of God, to do what is evil in his sight? You have smitten (strike with a firm blow) Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife." Nathan conveys three consequences of David's actions from God: First, that the "sword shall never depart from your house" (2 Samuel 12:10); second, that "Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight", and finally, that "the son born to you will die" (2 Samuel 12:14).

David humbles himself, but the child dies. David then leaves his lamentations, dresses himself, goes to the House of the Lord and worships, and finally returns home to eat. His servants ask why he wept when the baby was alive, but ended his mourning when the child died. David replies: "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept. I thought, 'Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let the child live.' But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me." (2 Samuel 12:22–23)

Bethsabee : Jean-Leon Gerome painting. Jean-Leon Gerome was a French painter and sculptor in the style now known as Academicism.

http://tywkiwdbi.blogspot.sg/2012/03/artist-painting-seal-of-chastity-on-his.html

A most curious subject matter for a painting; another version (perhaps from the collections of the Hermitage), dated 1732, is on file at Wikipedia. The painter - Pierre Subleyras - is apparently well known.

He was a remarkably incisive portraitist, as evident from the portrait of Pope Benedict XIV or of the obese Cardinal Valenti Gonzaga. The pope himself commanded two great paintings, the "Marriage of St Catherine" and the "Ecstasy of St Camilla", which he placed in his own private apartments.

Subleyras shows greater individuality in his curious genre pictures, which he produced in considerable number (Louvre). In his illustrations of Fontaine and Boccaccio his true relation to the modern era comes out...

The painting embedded above is from the latter category. Re the subject matter, I found an indication that the embedded painting is called "The Pack Saddle," with an explanation that the story by Fontaine is of an artist who painted an ass (animal) on his wife as a test of her fidelity, reasoning that any extramarital activity would smudge or erase the painting. The man who cuckolded him, however, repainted the ass, adding a pack-saddle on the animal.

Perhaps some reader more knowledgeable on classic literature or art can clarify the details.

Addendum: A hat tip to reader mbarnato, who found the relevant text by Jean de La Fontaine. It is a poem, which in translation is entitled "The Pack Saddle."

A FAMOUS painter, jealous of his wife;
Whose charms he valued more than fame or life,
When going on a journey used his art,
To paint an ASS upon a certain part,
(Umbilical, 'tis said) and like a seal:
Impressive token, nothing thence to steal.

A BROTHER brush, enamoured of the dame;
Now took advantage, and declared his flame:
The Ass effaced, but God knows how 'twas done;
Another soon howe'er he had begun,
And finished well, upon the very spot;
In painting, few more praises ever got;
But want of recollection made him place
A saddle, where before he none could trace.

THE husband, when returned, desired to look
At what he drew, when leave he lately took.
Yes, see my dear, the wily wife replied,
The Ass is witness, faithful I abide.
Zounds! said the painter, when he got a sight,--
What!--you'd persuade me ev'ry thing is right?
I wish the witness you display so well,
And him who saddled it, were both in Hell.

Paintings from other painters with artistic climax

PHOTO: Pierre Hubert Subleyras (1699 – 1749, French), Le jument du compère Pierre, 1745
The compere Pierre mare
A villager who make a living in agriculture lost an animal, a mare. Worried about how it will survive on its own in the future on the land, he shared his concerns with the local priest. The priest has long been eyeing the peasant's woman and offered to pray for him with a "mare". Only prayer were to be heard, and during the ritual the participants were not to issue any sound. The priest put one hand on the woman where the sprout tail should be and began to "read the prayer." Naturally it was not long before the priest started caressing the naked buttocks of his wife before his eyes. The peasant opened his mouth to protest and thus broke the silence. And because of that his mare cannot be found.

Baron von Frankenstein neglects his duties towards his wife/sister Katrin, as he is obsessed with creating a perfect Serbian race to obey his commands, beginning by assembling a perfect male and female from parts of corpses. The doctor's sublimation of his sexual urges by his powerful urge for domination is shown when he utilizes the surgical wounds of his female creation to satisfy his lust.

As it happens, a suitably randy farmhand, Nicholas, leaving a local brothel along with his sexually repressed friend, brought there in an unsuccessful attempt to dissuade him from entering a monastery, are spotted and waylaid by the doctor and his henchman, Otto; mistakenly assuming that the prospective monk is also suitable for stud duty, they take his head for use on the male creature. He thinks he has found just the right brain to go with a body he's built, but he's made an error, taking the head of a asexual ascetic (severe self-discipline and abstention from all forms of indulgence, typically for religious reasons).

Not knowing these behind-the-scene details, Nicholas survives and is summoned by Katrin to the castle, where they form an agreement that he will gratify her unsatisfied carnal appetites. Meanwhile, the Baroness has her lusts, and she fastens on Nicholas, the friend of the dead lad, Sacha (Srdjan Zelenovic). Sacha (Srdjan Zelenovic) is decapitated by the Baron, so his head can be used for his Male Zombie.

Under the control of the doctor, the male and female creatures are seated for dinner with the castle's residents, but the male creature shows no signs of recognition of his friend as he serves the Baron and his family. Nicholas realizes at this point that something is awry, but himself pretends not to recognize his friend's face until he can investigate further.

After a falling-out with Katrin, who is merely concerned with her own needs, Nicholas goes snooping in the laboratory and is captured by the doctor. Frankenstein muses about using his new acquisition to replace the head of his creature, who is still showing no signs of libido.

When he attempts to have the male creature eliminate Nicholas, however, the remnants of his friend's personality rebel and the doctor is killed in gruesome fashion. The creature, believing he is better off dead, then disembowels himself.

The doctor's children, Erik and Monica, then enter the laboratory, pick up a pair of scalpels, and proceed to turn the wheel of the crane that is holding the farmhand in mid-air. It is not clear if the scalpels are there in order to release him, or take over where their father left off.

PHOTO: Morphē
Aesop and Amsterdam-based body architect, Lucy McRae, have released a short film – Morphē, which coincides with the relaunch of Aesop’s website.

Aesop commissioned McRae to conceive and direct a three-and-a-half minute piece. For the setting, McRae transformed an old Amsterdam church into an ordered space that references Aesop’s own laboratory. Here, a scientist employs an assortment of gels, liquids, and weird contraptions to minister arcane beauty treatments to a sleeping muse.

There are references to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Charles Perrault’s Sleeping Beauty, however, McRae describes her scientist as inspired by nineteenth-century scientist and philosopher Hermann von Helmholtz, and his revolutionary research on human perception: “Everything,” wrote Helmholtz, “is an event on the skin.”

“I wanted to suggest a journey inside a world beyond skin care, one that involves farther realms of perception within the sensory landscape of the human body. At the edge of this world, the skin and hair play key roles for the female specimen fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of a new kind of super-sensory beauty treatment,” explains McRae.

She went on to star in a memorable episode of Star Trek (“Mudd’s Women”) then got the Hammer role.

Unfortunately, Ms. Denberg had to retreat to Austria to be with her family after hard drugs (including LSD) had taken their toll.

Frankenstein Created Woman is a 1967 British Hammer Horror film directed by Terence Fisher. It stars Peter Cushing as Baron Frankenstein and Susan Denberg as Christina, his new creation. It is the fourth film in Hammer's Frankenstein series.

Where Hammer's previous Frankenstein films were concerned with the physical aspects of the Baron's work, the interest here is in the metaphysical dimensions of life, such as the question of the soul, and its relationship to the body.

Frankenstein Created Woman Poster created by Tom Chantrell. In the original the the female was bare breasted. Too sexy, yet misleading publicity shots that actually have nothing to do with the movie but drew a lot of attention, obviously due to the non-bikini-clad Susan Denberg. The motif was also used for the Italian movie poster.

A man is taken from a cart and taunts the police and the priest escorting him. He is sentenced to death by the guillotine for murder. From the place of execution, the man sees his son, Hans, and begs that he should not see him die. The priest approaches the boy but Hans runs away. The priest returns to the last rites. From a distance, Hans watches as his father is positioned under the blade. He yells, "Papa!" Then the blade falls, and Hans flees.

Years later, Hans Werner (Robert Morris) is working as an assistant to Baron Victor Frankenstein (Peter Cushing), helped by Dr Hertz (Thorley Walters) who is in the process of discovering a way of trapping the soul of a recently deceased person. Frankenstein believes he can transfer that soul into another recently deceased body to restore it to life.

Hans is now also the lover of Christina (Susan Denberg), daughter of innkeeper Herr Kleve. Christina's entire left side is disfigured and partly paralysed. Young dandies Anton (Peter Blythe), Johann (Derek Fowlds) and Karl (Barry Warren) frequent Kleve's inn where they taunt Christina and refuse to pay. Johann threatens to have his father revoke Kleve's license if he complains. The three insist that they be served by Christina and mock her for her deformities. The taunting angers Hans, who gets in a fight with the three of them and cuts Anton's face with a knife.

Eventually Kleve throws the dandies out for non-payment. They return in the night to steal wine from his inn. Kleve catches them and they beat him to death. Hans, the son of a murderer known for his short temper, is convicted. Despite the Baron and Hertz's defences against the accusations, Hans is executed by the guillotine, much to Anton, Johann and Karl's delight. Seeing this as an opportunity, Frankenstein gets hold of Hans' fresh corpse and traps his soul.

Distraught over Hans's death and feeling the guilt for not defending him, Christina drowns herself by jumping off a bridge. The peasants bring her body to Dr Hertz to see if he can do anything. Frankenstein and Hertz transfer Hans' soul into her body. Over months of complex and intensive treatment, they completely cure her physical deformities.

Upon holding the severed head of Hans, the ghostly voice tells Christina she's avenged his death; though before either one can talk to her, she runs to the edge of a waterfall. Despite the Baron's pleas of telling her identity, Christina's mind has already been made. She has no one left to live for and then drowns herself again.

Saddened by her loss and for not telling her who she really was, Frankenstein walks silently away...

She strengthened her scream queen status even further appearing in the Amicus horror anthology film The House That Dripped Blood and the classic Wicker Man (and, no, it’s not the one with Nicholas Cage).

Munro was making a straight trajectory for stardom in the mid-seventies with a role in both a Sinbad and Bond movie; but, she chose to stay in Britain close to her family instead of taking it to the next level in Hollywood.

Caroline spent the next few years in B-movies; most notably, Starcrash with David Hasselhoff (1979). She’d eventually film on American soil, but her ship had sailed.

Although there’s certainly more Hammer babes to cover, we’ll draw the line here. Not only have Cleavage Saturation Levels been reached, they’ve been vastly exceeded.

LOS ANGELES
UNITED States animal rights activists filed an unusual lawsuit on Tuesday on behalf of a macaque monkey who snapped selfie photographs, arguing it owned the photos rather than the nature photographer involved.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) filed the suit in federal court in San Francisco on behalf of six-year-old Naruto, seeking to have the macaque "declared the author and owner of his photograph".

"Our argument is simple," Peta said in a statement. "US copyright law doesn't prohibit an animal from owning a copyright, and since Naruto took the photo, he owns the copyright, as any human would."

The photos were taken in 2011 on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi by British nature photographer David Slater.

He later published a book of his photographs that included two selfies taken by Naruto. The San Francisco-based company that published the book - Blurb - is named as a co-defendant in the suit.

"If this lawsuit succeeds, it will be the first time that a non-human animal is declared the owner of property, rather than being declared a piece of property himself or herself," Peta said.

"It will also be the first time that a right is extended to a non-human animal beyond just the mere basic necessities of food, shelter, water and veterinary care. In our view, it is high time."

But Mr Slater insists he owns the rights to the photos since he set up the tripod and walked away for a few minutes only to find out that the monkey had grabbed his camera and snapped away.

He told the Washington Post last year, when the copyright controversy erupted, that the widespread distribution of the photos on the Internet had cost him a lot of money.

"This is ruining my business," he told the paper. "If it was a normal photograph and I had claimed I had taken it, I would potentially be a lot richer than I am."

Hollywood Bound
Hollywood’s greatest stars, as you’ve never seen them before: chained, roped and tied. It demanded passion, thrills, suspense, violent outbursts of emotion and movement. There had to be a victim, waiting to be tossed aside with contemptuous ease or devoured whole in a paroxysm of lust. … And so it was that innocent maidens were pinned down by rapacious seducers; monstrous villains. Chained, manacled or trussed or viciously tied, awaiting to receive the cruellest of tortures, physical or psychological – only to free themselves in the final reel, and carry off the equally endangered heroines to safety and starry-eyed romance.

Rome - First Century A. D. Nero, the mad Emperor & Poppaea, his vile Empress, engage in every sort of vice & degradation. Wanton cruelty becomes a spectator sport and virtue & innocence are denigrated. Slowly, however, a new Power is growing. People calling themselves Christians are secretly spreading their Faith ever more widely. They are horribly persecuted, but they continue to multiply. Which will eventually triumph – the might of Imperial Rome, or the gentle ones who follow THE SIGN OF THE CROSS?

The Sign of the Cross is a 1932 Pre-Code Hollywood epic film released by Paramount Pictures, produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille from a screenplay by Waldemar Young and Sidney Buchman, and based on the original 1895 play by Wilson Barrett.

Like the novel, both play and film take place in ancient Rome during the reign of Nero. The art direction and costume design were by Mitchell Leisen who also acted as assistant director. Karl Struss was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Cinematography. The film stars Fredric March, Elissa Landi, Claudette Colbert, and Charles Laughton, with Ian Keith and Arthur Hohl. The film is the third and last in DeMille's biblical trilogy with The Ten Commandments (1923) and The King of Kings (1927).

After burning Rome, Emperor Nero decides to blame the Christians, and issues the edict that they are all to be caught and sent to the arena. DeMille loves to slyly mimic his own audience in the lengthy final coliseum scene and its vast array of naked women tied with garlands being offered to giant gorillas, and even Amazons vs. Pygmies.

She was arrested at the Chicago World's Fair was coming as Lady Godiva. This is supposed to be a moment of horror, but DeMille can't help shooting it like an artfully-lit burlesque routine.

Alligators feeding with a young Christian woman, elephants treading on people’s heads, a gorilla raping a girl tied to a wooden pillar, people crucified and burned, men fighting with bulls, bears, women fighting with dwarfs; yet lions and tigers eating Christians, and many other cruel games to the joy and lust of the viewers.
Indeed, it is a film not to be watched by kids even at the beginning of the 21century, but historically accurate and visually very well made.

When they first meet, March is in lust more than in love. He clearly can have any woman in Rome that he wants, including the Emperor's Wife (Claudette Colbert). When he first meets Landi he tries to seduce her. When that doesn't work, he tries to demonstrate his affection for her by convincing one of "Rome's most… Talented Women" to seduce her for him, leading to a lesbian dance sequence that drove the censors crazy in 1932.

This is probably DeMille's greatest blend of the sacred and the profane, as sequences like a lesbian orgy dance and Claudette Colbert nude in a milk bath are balanced by scenes of genuine Christian belief and piety.

The first half of the film focuses on these 2-dimensional characters, and the shallow attraction that they have for one other. But their feelings deepen during the second half. When Landi's Christian friends are marched off to the arena to die, she finds herself wanting to do nothing more than join them. March realizes that he loves her, and sacrifices his career by demanding that the emperor (Charles Laughton in his American film debut) spare her life. Laughton agrees, but only if she renounces her faith.

Marcus pursues Mercia, which gets him into trouble with Emperor (for being easy on Christians) and with the Empress Poppaea(played by Claudette Colbert at her most amorally luscious), who loves him and is jealous. Very quickly Mercia is to be sacrificed to the lions.

Empress Poppaea arranges with a rival prefect to have the girl and the other Christians attacked and arrested. March saves the girl, barely (the sequence of the soldiers descending on the large Christian prayer meeting is all the more terrifying for the very real feeling of persecuted brotherhood we get right before the arrows start to fly), and proposes to her, but she accuses him of just wanting her for sex.

With its scantily clad actresses like Poppaea (Claudette Colbert), Cecil B. DeMille's pre-code epic The Sign of the Cross shocked audiences. When it was re-released 12 years later, a number of scenes were cut in order to comply with the Hays Code.

The equation of Poppaea (Claudette Colbert) nude with milk is presumably not to imply some maternal connotations in her, but perhaps rather its perversion into a decadent (depraved) excess. The milk just barely cover Claudette’s nipples.

Behind the Scenes: However, there is some evidence that the themes of the film crept into the minds of the actors and into their behaviour on the set. Claudette also commented that Freddie March continued to harass her during publicity a publicity shoot in which she had to endure, “Freddie’s hand wrapped around my rear end.”

Claudette Colbert, in an informal interview with Rex Reed (quoted in an amazing article by Vanity Fair), stated that Fredric March was more than cordial to her on the set. She stated that, “Freddie March was the worst womaniser I ever knew," and continued, "His hands had 20 fingers, I swear, and they were always on my ass."

It seems director Cecil B. Demille didn't behave much better. Reports say that Demille always attempted to glimpse Claudette nude while entering and exiting the famous nude scene - which took a massive week to shoot. The crew were sympathetic to Claudette, carefully covering her to prevent him from seeing anything.

Other women who had the same treatment from March include, Carole Lombard and Greta Garbo.

This Cecil B. DeMille epic is a vivid retelling of the struggles of the first Christians. Paramount gave the film a lavish production and DeMille wrings every drop of piety & puerile interest possible from the plot. Fredric March is stalwart as the Roman official who falls in love with a beautiful Christian girl. While his ultimate conversion wouldn’t convince the average modern Baptist, he holds his own in scenes with other performers whom are allowed to behave outrageously. Elissa Landi is sweet as the virtuous Believer, effectively under playing her role.

`Do you want to play the most wicked woman in the world?’ DeMille asked Claudette Colbert one day on the studio lot. She did & she does memorably, from her eye-popping milk bath scene to her revenge on her would-be lover. Sniveling, whining and wearing a huge fake nose, Charles Laughton is pure effeminate evil as Nero (notice his catamite, a boy kept for homosexual practices), a foul blot on the face of humanity & stealing all his scenes from everyone else. History tells us that Nero eventually murdered Poppaea by stomping her to death…

The advertising campaign for The Sign of the Cross gave the impression that Paramount Pictures was having a gay old time. This film was the first in Hollywood history to feature homosexual characters in its ads; they were painted by Dan Sayre Groesbeck.

Ian Keith is enjoyable as an unpunished villain. Ferdinand Gottshalk & Vivian Tobin are effectively degraded as Roman bacchantes (priests). Film mavens will recognize the voice of John Carradine, calling `We who are about to die, salute you!’ out of the arena to Nero; he can later be spotted in the role of a Christian martyr ascending the dungeon stairs to his death.

March goes to the Coliseum just as Mercia is about to be sacrificed to the lions. He tells her that she can continue to practice Christianity privately if he marries her – she only has to pretend to renounce it publicly. It's a tempting offer, but she refuses.

So March, who does not believe in Christianity, and apparently knows next to nothing about it, does something astonishing. He says that *he* will convert – not because he believes in it – but because he cannot imagine living without her. The film ends with the two of them hand in hand climbing the stairs to meet the lions and their maker.

Mercia and Marcus, united in religion as in death.
A spectacle more stately or powerful than the arena sequence, touched such spiritual splendor as when the hero and heroine walk hand in hand to their death.
They walk up the steep steps to martyrdom, the bright light suggesting an ascent to heaven (instead of a journey towards a tooth-and-claw slaughtering).

For most of us, it's a whole lot of fun, and might reasonably be seen as an attempt to resolve the tension between body and spirit that has been so fundamental to the religion for two thousand years. That, or DeMille is just a huge hypocrite: he wants us to root for both the Christians and the lions.

Claudette Colbert in Sign of the Cross - A "pre-code" pulp costume flick that was dripping within implied sensuality but cloaked in enough righteous disapproval to appease the squares. Claudette's racy milk bath scene alone probably curdled a whole cathedral full of church ladies back in the day.

The style brought him criticism from straight photographers of the modern realist movement. Historians and critics have described his images as highly sentimental, mildly erotic and sadomasochist entertainments. Finally he was described by Ansel Adams as alternately the "Devil", and "the anti-Christ".

Joyzelle Joyner as Salomé. Joyzelle Joyner was an American actress who appeared in minor roles in a number of silent films. Her lascivious scene in Cecil B. DeMille's The Sign of the Cross (1932) was deemed scandalous enough to later be cut from the film by censors.
William Mortensen preferred the pictorialism style of manipulating photographs to produce romanticist painting-like effects.

PHOTO: Satan’s Slave – Director Norman J Warren (1976)
This film tells the tale of 19 year old Catherine Yorke played by the incredibly gorgeous and mesmerising Candace Glendenning (The Flesh & Blood Show, Tower of Evil) on her way to visit her Uncle Alexander played by the extremely charismatic Michael Gough (Horror Hospital, Batman) and cousin Stephen the very sinister looking Martin Potter (Craze, Goodbye Gemini).

On the driveway to her Uncle’s mansion the car crashes and her mother is killed instantly, Catherine manages to escape from the car but before she can help her father the car explodes and kills him too.

Understandably suffering from shock she agrees to stay at her uncle’s house for a few days to get some rest. Obviously things aren’t quite what they seem and her family history turns out to be a little unusual to say the least, despite this she forms quite a close relationship with her cousin Stephen which doesn’t go down too well with his live in lover and Housemaid Frances.

The films includes plenty of Black Magic, great sacrificial scenes, a reasonable helping of gratuitous nudity (apparently a horror film wouldn’t get financed without this in the 70’s) and some pretty spectacular Special Effects, look out for the pin in the eye scene! All this to say this was Norman J Warren’s first Horror film before he went on to make Prey, Terror & Inseminoid.

IT IS that time of year again - when N95 masks fly off the shelves, air purifiers get dusted off, and complaints about sore throats and dry eyes soar.

Some days, people in Singapore wake up to an acrid smell, while smog-like shrouds block out the horizon and private planes have to be diverted to Johor.

Experts say that people should not draw conclusions on air quality based on just visibility levels, or how bad the haze smells.

The haze could be more visible because there is more water vapour in the air, according to the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources. And the smell may be caused by other compounds generated when vegetation and peat are burned.

Air pollution researcher Erik Velasco of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology's Centre for Environmental Sensing and Modelling said: "The low visibility and acrid smell associated with the haze... are subjective and cannot be used to measure air quality."

Instead, one of the best ways to determine how unhealthy the air is in real time is to look at the one-hour PM2.5 levels published by the National Environment Agency (NEA), say experts.

UNDERSTANDING THE HAZE
Typically, two types of particles make up the haze.

There are the coarser ones, which the human body is mostly equipped to filter out. These particles are large enough to be trapped by the nasal passages or end up being passed directly through the body.

The bigger worry is the PM2.5 pollutants - so called because they are no larger than 2.5 microns, or one-thirtieth the diameter of a human hair.

These can become trapped deep in the lungs and are tiny enough to pass through linings into the bloodstream.

Long-term exposure to these particles on a regular basis has been linked to increased risk of death from heart and lung complications such as lung cancer or heart disease.

On a regular, non-hazy day, the maximum concentration of PM2.5 is usually between 20 and 35 micrograms (mcg) per cubic m, said Dr Velasco. They start becoming a serious problem when the numbers hit 100, and dangerous when they exceed 200.

Yesterday, the one-hour PM2.5 levels surged past 200 in many parts of the island by midday, with southern Singapore hitting 319 at 6pm.

Starting in April last year, the Government incorporated PM2.5 levels in the calculation of the overall PSI for the first time, to give a more accurate measurement of air quality.

The short-term effect of high PSI levels is apparent to anyone who stays outdoors for too long - headaches, irritation of the eyes and nose and aggravation of conditions such as asthma or bronchitis.

But the long-term health impact of exposure to haze for a couple of months a year - as in Singapore's case - has rarely been studied or fully understood.

Most people would agree that it is bad for one's health, but just how bad is it?

THE EFFECT OF POLLUTANTS
Said atmospheric chemist Mikinori Kuwata, who is with Nanyang Technological University: "To understand the health impact, you have to first understand the haze itself."

While major pollutants such as ozone are present, researchers are still trying to figure out all the other chemicals which make up the smoke - especially particulate matter - that has blown hundreds of kilometres from Sumatra, and how they interact with each other on the way here.

Dr Kuwata said that researchers also refer to air pollution studies elsewhere, for instance the United States, which has its own problems with peat fires. These studies have linked the fires with more hospital visits for heart failure and asthma-related complications.

But the findings cannot be extrapolated to this region because of differences in the chemical composition of pollutants.

For example, temperature and humidity, which change the way chemicals in the air interact with one another, are very different in the tropics compared with the US.

The peat fires in Indonesia also occur in soil of a different composition.

In a study conducted in 2013 - when the three-hour PSI level hit a record 401 during the haze - environmental engineer Rajasekhar Balasubramanian looked at the health risks for a person who has been exposed to haze for a prolonged period of time.

He found that if Singapore were to be exposed for 10 days every year for 70 years to air pollution levels similar to those recorded during the June 20 to June 28 haze period, an average of 18 people in a million could get cancer in their lifetimes.

He also collected air samples between Sept 12 and Oct 2 when there was no haze. The risk of developing cancer fell to 12 in a million people for the non-haze period.

The study was published last year in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.

HEALTH IMPACT
To put things in perspective, on a day when PM2.5 levels hit 100mcg per cubic m, a person will take in around 1,100mcg of these pollutants if he stays outdoors throughout the day.

For comparison, a smoker will inhale between 10,000mcg and 40,000mcg of PM2.5 pollutants for every cigarette consumed.

The average healthy person should not be unduly worried about the levels of haze experienced this year, say xperts.

"We should be objective," said respiratory specialist Yap Wee See of Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital.

"When the haze is at a lower level, slight modifications to your lifestyle to reduce exposure are probably enough," said Dr Yap.

If PM2.5 readings rise above 100, for example, it might be a good idea to move that evening run to an indoor gym.

Children, pregnant women, the elderly and those with chronic conditions should also take greater care to avoid the haze.

Symptoms like eye or throat irritation are caused by short-term exposure to the haze and are usually self-limiting, said Liew Woei Kang of SBCC Baby and Child Clinic.

His advice for coping with the haze?

"Drink lots of water to flush out the inhaled toxins, and take a healthy balanced diet rich in antioxidants."

THE worsening haze has prompted all primary and secondary schools to be closed today as a precaution. This is because air quality could hit hazardous levels, said Education Minister Heng Swee Keat yesterday evening.

Those eligible, who will receive two masks each, include holders of MOH's Community Health Assist Scheme Blue cards, Pioneer Generation Card holders, ComCare clients above the age of 62 and those who have been identified with long-term medical issues regardless of age.

"Yet, at the same time, we are hearing some shocking statements made, at senior levels, from Indonesia, with a complete disregard for our people, and their own - PSI levels in parts of Indonesia are at almost 2,000 (PSI above 350 is considered hazardous in Indonesia)," said Mr Shanmugam.

"How is it possible for senior people in government to issue such statements, without any regard for their people, or ours, and without any embarrassment, or sense of responsibility?"

PHOTO:The 24-hour PSI entered the very unhealthy range (201 to 300) across the island at 6pm yesterday (24 September 2015). By 10pm, it was between 223 and 275, possibly one of the highest levels recorded this year. The three-hour PSI, which is averaged over a shorter period and not tied to health advisories, was 314 at 10pm.
