Singapore's Shanti Pereira of Singapore celebrates winning the women's 200m final athletics event during the 19th Asian Games at Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre on Oct. 2, 2023. The 28-year-old track-and-field athlete — often referred to as Singapore's sprint queen — brought home a gold in the women's 200-meter race and silver in the 100-meter race at the Asian Games. As a result, she could not progress beyond the Asian Games heats that year. Three weeks before the Southeast Asian Games, she finally snapped out of that downward spiral. The same year, Pereira broke the national record in the 100-m sprint six times and 200-m race four times.

Neither Yim Sinorn or Hun Kosal nor their legal representatives could immediately be reached for comment. Yim Sinorn later posted on Facebook that he had deleted what he wrote about the king and Hun Kosal said he respected the king and would promote the royal family. Hun Sen in comments on his official Facebook page about the arrests and before the men were charged said: "This is an insulting act that cannot be tolerated or excused." He had denied the charges he was conspiring with the United States to overthrow Hun Sen, who has ruled Cambodia for nearly four decades.

HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam will stick to its target to keep inflation under control and ensure macroeconomic stability, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said on Saturday, as the economy faces fresh challenges. The central bank has this year raised its policy rates by a combined 200 basis points and allowed the dong currency to weaken against dollar. Vietnam’s stock market has fallen by more than 20% while the dong currency has lost 6% against dollar over the past three months. “It’s getting more difficult to manage the macro economy,” Chinh said. He said Vietnam will consider raising the national fuel storage capacity and domestic fuel production to avoid future fuel shortages.
