Bird Paradise, the new wildlife park in Singapore’s Mandai Wildlife Reserve, is set to open its doors on May 8, offering visitors a chance to get up close and personal with over 3,500 birds from 400 different species.

Visitors can pre-book their tickets and any add-on programs from April 24.
The park is home to many of the world’s most threatened species, such as the Philippine eagle, the Negros bleeding-heart dove, and the blue-throated macaw. Visitors can enjoy the sight of the world’s largest population of hornbills under human care, flying free in one of the eight large walk-through aviaries in the park, each of which is inspired by different habitats from around the world. Guests can also watch two new avian presentations, “Predators on Wings” and “Wings of the World,” at the Sky Amphitheatre.
In addition to all the exciting bird-watching opportunities, Bird Paradise offers a range of fun activities for visitors, such as feeding sessions where guests can feed starlings, African hornbills, pelicans, and lories for just SGD 8 per session. All proceeds from animal feedings go towards the conservation projects that Mandai Wildlife Group supports in Singapore and across the region. Visitors can also join the Friends of Wildlife membership program, which provides year-round access to all four wildlife parks including Bird Paradise, as well as other benefits such as priority privileges, wildlife experiences, and discounts.

SINGAPORE – Former Singapore Idol judge Ken Lim appeared in court to face charges of molesting a 25-year-old woman. The alleged incident took place in November 2021 at the Hype Records office.
Ken Lim, the executive director of Hype Records, is accused of touching the woman’s breast through skin-to-skin contact. Prosecutors requested a gag order on the identity of the victim.
Ken Lim’s lawyer stated that the investigation has been ongoing for more than 15 months, and Ken Lim maintains his innocence, refusing to plead guilty. Currently, he is released on bail of S$10,000.
The court granted Ken Lim’s application to travel to Phuket, Thailand, from May 25 to June 4 to handle “property management issues,” subject to an additional S$10,000 bail.
If convicted of outrage of modesty, Ken Lim may face up to three years of imprisonment, a fine, and caning, although those above the age of 50 are exempt from caning.

Numeric Trend in Toto Most of the time, numbers to be drawn next would have already appeared in the last 7 draws. If you find that specific numbers have not been drawn in the past 7 draws, it is advisable to avoid picking them.
Give random numbers ago Special dates work well for 4D, but not for Toto as the odds of getting good numbers are lesser with anniversaries and birth dates. Most of these dates fall under smaller numbers like 1 to 7 or 1 to 12. That means most people end up selecting similar numbers. So even if you win, the odds are that your prize money is split among many people as well. As crazy as it sounds, go for the random numbers – meaning the QuickPick Option. There have been many instances of someone hitting the jackpot from a $1 QuickPick ticket and the odds of having more people split your winnings is smaller.
Opt for a good mix of odd & even numbers The chances of having all six numbers being all odd or all even is especially rare, thus having a good mix can increase your chances of winning. Do you know that these combinations have come out in at least 80% of all the draws?
Try having a set of consecutive numbers This is an ironic way of selecting numbers but it has indeed happened in many draws. Within each set of six numbers, there have been common cases of a set of consecutive numbers appearing (e.g., 17 and 18, 11 and 12, etc).
Avoid having a combination that forms an obvious pattern It has been observed that indecisive punters tend to pick certain patterns like a diagonal or straight vertical line across the TOTO slip. This results in many bets for these combinations and even if you win the prize money, it will usually be split.
Try your hands at numerology There are some who swear by numerology, where you can calculate if the number you are betting on signifies a fortune when combined with your birth date, or you could calculate it based on the draw date. The accuracy is quite high as compared to random probability methods. Some might deem this superstitious but hey, there have been known cases of people striking small windfalls from this tactic. Numerology is in fact linked to methods of probability which combines scientific studies and oracle reading.
