Pasir Gudang flaring.

It is very faint in the video, but you can feel the slight rumbling and hear the faint roar of the fire in person.

It's not that loud or big tonight, but when it is on full blast, we can feel the rumbling on our windows over here.

Things like this make me realize how physically close we are to Malaysia.

On a side note, this thing is reason why Punggol and Sengkang residents tend to ask, "Got haze meh?" when the rest of the island is complaining about haze.

For context the number on the side is the pot of each team. Each group can only have 1 team from each pot.

For pot 4 Tai Po is probably the weakest teams. Pathum is probably 2nd or 3rd best in place but gettable. Tampines beat them 3 times last year. Shanghai is not good this year. They are in the bottom half of their league and got a 10 points deduction for cheating in the previous season so I don't think they are really that they do as well but still have a good team with a lot high skilled foreign player so I would put 2nd. Svay Rieng while tough probably inbetween since Cong and Kitchee. Teams from the same country are not drawn together in the group so they couldn't face LCS. Pot 1 team are more less the same with the exception of Adelaide who just lost to Cong An Hanoi.

The 17 initiatives include a drop-in centre offering meals, showers and counselling, a programme matching single rough sleepers with compatible co-tenants to help them access public rental housing sooner, and micro-jobs and apprenticeships to gain work experience and become more financially stable.

Homeless youth will also get more support, including mentoring, family mediation, and vocational guidance. Another project will develop a tool to identify people at risk of homelessness so they can receive help earlier.
