A Thai singer, Ms Phing Chyada, died on 8 December 2024 after receiving a massage in Udon Thani, Thailand in November. The massage included neck twisting techniques aimed at relieving her shoulder pain.

After the massage, Ms Chyada experienced neck pain, a weakened right arm, and developed 50% body paralysis in the following weeks before her death.

In a separate case, a 52-year-old Singaporean man died on 7 December 2024 after a 45-minute oil massage at Patong Beach, Phuket. Staff found him unresponsive after he fell asleep during the massage and he was pronounced dead at Patong Hospital.

The Singaporean man's family requested his body be returned to Singapore and declined an autopsy. No details were provided about whether his massage included neck manipulation.

Thai neurologist Thiravat Hemachudha posted on Facebook that neck twisting massages and cervical spine manipulation can cause paralysis. The severity depends on the frequency and force applied.

The effects of neck twisting during massage can impact vision and balance across all locations, not limited to Thailand.

Syrian rebels reportedly seized control of Damascus on December 8, 2024, after a swift military campaign. The offensive began on November 27 when Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and allied groups attacked Aleppo. The rebels captured major cities in sequence: Aleppo, then Hama on December 5, followed by Homs two days later.

Upon entering Damascus, the rebels encountered no military resistance, as Syrian security forces had withdrawn from the international airport. The rebels freed prisoners from Saydnaya prison and stormed Iran's embassy in Damascus. Assad and his family reportedly received asylum in Russia.

The events stem from Syria's civil war, which began in 2011 during the Arab Spring when Assad deployed military forces against protesters. The conflict had reached a stalemate in recent years before this rebel offensive.

The US plans to maintain its troops in Syria, with President Biden calling Assad's removal a "fundamental act of justice" while warning about risks from certain rebel groups. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan urged caution about terrorist organisations potentially exploiting the situation.

French President Macron posted on X celebrating Assad's removal, describing it as the fall of "the barbaric state" and expressing hopes for peace, freedom, and unity in Syria.

The Syrian rebels stated they're working to transfer power to a transitional governing body. Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali has called for free elections and is reportedly discussing the transition period with HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Golani.

A woman in Singapore booked a TADA private-hire vehicle on Thursday morning to get to work. After spotting her PHV driver's black Honda Vezel in her apartment carpark, she entered the vehicle from the right side door, which was near a pillar.

The PHV driver became angry about her choice of door, made disparaging comments about her size, and shouted at her. When she decided to cancel the ride and exit the vehicle, the driver honked repeatedly at her within the compound.

The situation escalated when the PHV driver allegedly drove his car into her knees and attempted to slam his car door at both her and her mother, who had come down to help. The driver only apologised after the woman called the police.

Minutes later, the PHV driver returned and parked outside the condominium gate, insisting on completing the journey. The woman called the police again, leading to the driver's departure. Police later took her statement, but no CCTV footage of the incident was available.

Medical examination at the hospital revealed no injuries from the incident. The woman reported the case to TADA ride-hailing platform, but initially received no response.

After her TikTok video about the incident went viral, TADA responded on 8 December 2024, stating they had launched an investigation and suspended the driver's account. The platform has been unable to contact the driver, and users have since flooded TADA's social media with comments demanding accountability.

South Korean opposition parties tried to impeach President Yoon over the recent martial law incident. The impeachment motion needed 200 votes out of 300 members in the National Assembly to pass.

The impeachment attempt on 7 December failed when the ruling People Power Party boycotted the session. Only 195 lawmakers were present, which wasn't enough to proceed with the vote.

Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun resigned on 5 December after recommending martial law to President Yoon. He publicly apologised and took full responsibility for the incident.

Prosecutors later detained Kim during his voluntary appearance at a Seoul prosecutors' office. He faces charges of insurrection and abuse of authority in connection with the martial law declaration.

A special team of 62 members has been formed to investigate the entire martial law incident.

President Yoon has stepped back from handling state affairs, including diplomatic activities. Prime Minister Han Duck-soo will manage state affairs to reduce disruption, while opposition parties plan to file weekly impeachment motions until Yoon resigns.

Digital lock company Zansan Digital Lock posted a TikTok video on 22 September 2024 that made claims about actor Ryan Lian allegedly breaking into homes.

The video alleged that Lian used a "black box" device to open doors at two units, while a third unit with Zansan's products remained secure, according to Shin Min Daily News.

The video appeared to reference an earlier incident from 17 September 2024, where police arrested Lian under the Mental Health Act after he allegedly attempted to break into an electronic lock at Block 93B Tiong Bahru Road.

Zansan Digital Lock has now posted an apology on TikTok, stating their claims were completely false. They removed the original video and promised to cease making defamatory statements about Lian.

The company issued an unreserved apology for damages to Lian's reputation and business interests, fully withdrawing their allegations.

Lian responded in the comments of the apology video, expressing his distress over the past three months and criticizing the company's choice of background music (a sped-up version of "I Like You The Most"), stating the video had severely impacted his 24-year career.

A 38-year-old man received an 11-week jail sentence on December 6, 2024, for causing grievous hurt to a 68-year-old woman in Hougang.

The incident started on January 3, 2024, when the pair met for drinks and music at a rooftop garden in Hougang, where they engaged in intimate activities.

At 4:01 AM, the man pushed the woman at Block 521 Hougang Avenue 6's lift lobby, followed by another assault at 4:07 AM near Block 522 after she refused his requests for further intimacy.

The woman's injuries included a scalp hematoma, bruised left cheek, and a fractured left rib, resulting in a 16-day stay at Changi General Hospital.

The man faced two charges - voluntarily causing grievous hurt, to which he pleaded guilty, and using criminal force, which was considered during sentencing.

The maximum penalty for voluntarily causing grievous hurt in Singapore is a five-year jail term, a $10,000 fine, or both.

Low Thia Khiang, former Workers' Party chief, has definitively stated he will not run in Singapore's next General Election. He made this announcement while distributing the party's Hammer newsletter, expressing his retirement plans during a recorded interaction shared on WP's Instagram on 7 December 2024.

Low started his political career with the Workers' Party in 1982, later becoming its assistant secretary-general. His first major victory came in 1991 when he won the Hougang Single-Member Constituency seat.

He continued his success in Hougang, winning re-elections in 1997, 2001, and 2006. In 2001, he took on the role of WP's secretary-general, leading the party through multiple electoral campaigns.

The 2011 General Election marked a historic moment as Low led the Workers' Party to victory in Aljunied Group Representation Constituency - the first time an opposition party had won a GRC in Singapore. The WP maintains control of Aljunied GRC today.

After stepping down as secretary-general in 2018, handing leadership to Pritam Singh, Low faced a serious health challenge. In April 2020, he suffered a traumatic brain injury from a fall at his Upper Thomson home, requiring nearly a month of hospitalization.

Despite his 2020 announcement that he would not contest that year's election, Low continues to serve on WP's central executive committee. His recent statement confirms his complete retirement from electoral politics ahead of Singapore's next General Election, which must occur by November 2025.
