The slightly sportier BYD Seal (left) versus the cushier and roomier Hyundai Ioniq 6. ST PHOTO: KEVIN LIM SINGAPORE – If you are among the minority of motorists who still prefer sedans for their sleeker, lower-slung design and the attendant superior driving dynamics, here are two mid-sized options. Both are electric rear-wheel-drive models that qualify for the slightly less punitive Category A certificate of entitlement (COE).

Malaysian dad in tears after 11 children pool together to buy him new SUV, Malaysia News
A Malaysian father was moved to tears after his 11 children surprised him with a brand new car. The emotional scene was captured in a viral TikTok video uploaded by user Azzerruleyoung on Tuesday (June 17), which has since garnered nearly 10 million views. In the two-minute clip, a woman is seen covering the elderly man's eyes as he fishes a car key out of a gift box. He is then led out of his seat as his family members look on elatedly. As he touches the exterior of the Proton X70, the man — who still has his eyes covered — realises the present and appears overwhelmed with emotion, squatting for a moment as his children guide him into the driver seat. [embed] When his eyes are uncovered and it is finally revealed that he is sitting in a brand-new SUV, the father bursts out crying while his children clap and shower confetti on him and the car. He appears to still be in disbelief as he alights, covering his face and staring at the vehicle while his wife hugs and comforts him. In the post caption, Azzerruleyoung wrote that the SUV is a gift from the 11 siblings for Father's Day as well as their parents' 38th wedding anniversary. According to 8world, the user also said in the comments that his father only had an old motorcycle which he used to ferry the family around. The moment has left several netizens emotional, with some commenting that they had teared up while watching the video. "Am I the only one who cried seeing this? When will I be able to be like this and make my parents happy while they are still around?" said one user. "Friends who don't have siblings, don't be stressed. Giving a car is just one method. The key is to make your parents happy. Bring back the happy smiles of those who sometimes lose time building a family for us," another wrote. [[nid:718958]]

Johor and Grab in talks to enhance cross-border travel agreement, Singapore News
The Johor government and ride hailing company Grab are in discussions to update the Cross-Border Travel Agreement between Singapore and the Malaysian state. This aims to make travel between Singapore and Johor smoother, said Johor Chief Minister Onn Hafiz Ghazi in a statement posted to Facebook on Thursday (June 19). Stating that these discussions were raised during a recent meeting with Grab's senior management, amongst other key matters, Onn Hafiz explained that the talks form part of broader efforts to enhance Johor's tourism and transportation sectors ahead of Visit Johor Year 2026 (TMJ 2026). TMJ 2026 is a statewide campaign which aims to attract 12 million tourists to Johor and generate RM42 billion in revenue, reported Bernama. "The discussions also explored potential cross-border collaborations involving the Malaysian and Singaporean transport ministries, alongside the role of Grab and other public transport providers in facilitating smoother travel between the two countries," Onn Hafiz said. AsiaOne has reached out to Grab for more information. The Chief Minister also revealed that an integrated, physical and digital platform, which showcases must-visit attractions in Johor, was in the works. This initiative holds strong potential to help tourists access information more easily online and offline while further boosting the state's tourism sector, he said. "It will also create new income opportunities for the people, stimulate the local economy and position Johor as a modern, open and globally welcoming state." [[nid:718706]]
