    Israel pushes further into parts of north Gaza; new cracks in Netanyahu coalition
    May 19, 2024 1:20 AM

    Israel has conducted renewed military sweeps this month of parts of northern Gaza where it had declared the end of major operations in January.

    Gantz said his proposal would include creating a temporary US-European-Arab-Palestinian system of civil administration for Gaza while Israel retains security control.

    Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Wednesday demanded clarity on post-war plans and for Netanyahu to forswear any military reoccupation of Gaza.

    Israel's military said 281 soldiers have been killed in fighting since the first ground incursions in Gaza on Oct 20.

    How this apartment in the east was transformed into a quiet luxurious home
    May 19, 2024 12:00 AM

    This week, we looked at a four-bedder condo designed by Hock Hoon which comes with a dual-purpose lounge and personal space.

    The four-bedder is intended for a family of four: the owner who will be living with both parents, as well as a helper.

    This layout ensures the owner's mother and the helper have their own rooms, while also providing a quiet corner for himself.

    Upon completion though, they did feel happy with the decision, and could feel the cohesiveness of the lounge area.

    Mercedes-Benz CLE200 Coupe AMG Line review: Swanky grand tourer with ability to gracefully flow through corners
    May 18, 2024 2:00 PM

    Case in point: The CLE-Class, which was created to replace both the C-Class and E-Class Coupe and Convertible models.

    Here, designers have taken a bit of inspiration from the Mercedes EQ models with the curvaceous 'single-piece' taillight housing.

    Ironically, despite being larger than a C-Class but smaller than an E-Class, the CLE Coupe's boot only comes in at 420 litres.

    Outright speed is not on the cards, but the CLE200 makes up for this by being keen to flow through corners.
