Two Singapore restaurants are named in the World's 50 Best Restaurants 51-100 extended list for 2025
Every year, we wait in anticipation for the announcement of the World's 50 Best Restaurants to see which establishments from Singapore make it onto this world-acclaimed list. It's never really a matter of 'if', but 'how many'; After all, eating is one of the top pastimes of Singaporeans and our city is brimming with such a diverse line-up of cuisines and dining venues – the perfect representation of the multi-culturalism that we're known for. Ahead of the official announcement of the top 50 on June 19, 2025, the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 extended list of 51 to 100 has just been revealed, and two from this Lion City have been named: modern Australian-style BBQ restaurant Burnt Ends (#93), and Labyrinth (#97) which prides itself on its 'new Singaporean cuisine'. Both Burnt Ends and Labyrinth are no stranger to the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, having emerged at 68th and 92nd place respectively in last year's extended list. Admittedly, this is quite a drop for Burnt Ends in particular, both one-Michelin-star holders will have to work a little harder to maintain their top 100 placings in next year's edition of this food award ranking. This year sees one less Singapore-based dining establishment on the 51 to 100 extended list, with Meta (#95 in 2024) making a disappearance. This can only mean one thing: It's either been bumped up to the top 50, or fallen off the list entirely. Only time will tell. Last year, only one restaurant from Singapore made the top 50 ranking: Odette, one of the two long-standing F&B tenants at the National Gallery that remains after its refresh. The other five, which include rooftop bar Smoke & Mirrors and Cantonese restaurant Yan, have since made a sad exit from the museum. Odette was crowned the Best Restaurant in Asia in 2023's awards. We'll be eagerly waiting to see if it remains in the top 50 global placings this year, and whether any other of our favourite restaurants will be joining the party.

Act calls for inquiry into proposed social media ban
The Act Party is calling for Parliament to conduct an inquiry into the harms of social media for young people, a day after a proposal from National to ban it for the same group. On Tuesday National MP Catherine Wedd, with the backing of leader Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, put forward a members' bill which would follow Australia's lead on cracking down on the social media giants. The proposed law would require age verification measures on social media platforms. Luxon said he wanted to explore picking it up as a "broader government bill", which would mean it could become law more quickly. On Tuesday speaking at Parliament, Act leader David Seymour said National's proposal was "simple, neat and wrong". "Just slapping on a ban - hastily drafted - won't solve the real problem. The real problem has to involve parents. This solution proposed by National doesn't." On Wednesday morning a letter penned by Act MP Dr Parmjeet Parmar to the chair of Parliament's education and workforce committee was released. It proposed an inquiry which would look at the harms of social media for young people. It would also include looking at the practicalities of implementing a ban on social media use for children under the age of 16 and other alternative solutions. In the letter Parmar said there had been a troubling rise in mental distress among young people. She said there was a growing consensus that mobile phones and social media were detrimental to children's development. "Educators and principals across the country have observed that students arriving at school are more needy and distracted than they were 15 years ago." Parmar said the National Party's members bill was not workable and that it was "imperative" Parliament not hastily adopt an Australian-style social media ban without an understanding of its impacts. "Instead, I propose that the Education and Workforce Committee undertake a detailed inquiry." In a press release she said the proposal to simply ban social media for those under 16 was unlikely to solve the problem. "Technologically, it's a mine field. Morally, it is a government solution that does not involve parents. Its unintended consequences could do more harm than good." Parmar said just implementation of a ban could fail technically due to people getting around it, it could drive people to darker parts of the internet and make people less likely to discuss harm they face on the internet. She also said a ban would erode personal responsibility.

Florida football punter Jeremy Crawshaw drafted by Denver Broncos in sixth round
Florida football punter Jeremy Crawshaw drafted by Denver Broncos in sixth round Former Florida Gators punter Jeremy Crawshaw was selected by the Denver Broncos with the No. 216 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft. He was the first punter selected in this year's draft. A native of Australia, Crawshaw arrived at Florida through the famed ProKick Australia program and quickly developed into one of the top specialists in college football. Over five seasons in Gainesville, Crawshaw rewrote the record books, setting the Gators' all-time mark for career punting average (minimum 90 punts) with a 46.7-yard career clip. In 2024, Crawshaw handled all punting duties for the Gators, averaging 45.75 yards per punt across 59 attempts, with 25 punts landing inside the opponent's 20-yard line. His ability to flip field position and pin offenses deep was critical for Florida's special teams success. Crawshaw earned multiple honors throughout his career, including All-SEC recognition, Resse's Senior Bowl All-American honors and a Ray Guy Award Punter of the Week nod. Throughout his Florida career, Crawshaw delivered highlight performances, including booming punts over 60 yards against programs like Georgia, Texas and LSU. In the 2023 season, he set the single-season Gators record for punt average at 48.9 yards. The Broncos add a proven weapon to their special teams unit, landing a player who blends Australian-style control with NFL-level distance and power. With Denver needing a consistent field position asset, Crawshaw could quickly carve out a major role.
