When 8days.sg first met Miss Universe Singapore (MUS) finalist, Qatrisha Zairyah, she was everything one would expect of a beauty queen.
Beautiful and towering at 1.8m, she exuded a polished confidence one can only have from participating in pageants.
Before being selected as one of the finalists at this year’s MUS, Qatrisha was the first runner-up at Miss International Queen 2023, a pageant for transgender women.
Of course, it is not lost on Qatrisha that being MUS’s first trans woman finalist is significant.

Singapore | It’s a long way from Sydney’s Silverwater prison, but Oliver Curtis is back, with the Singaporean data centre technology start-up he runs raising more than $1.4 billion, marking a stunning reversal of fortune for the former investment banker and eastern suburbs princeling.
Mr Curtis, the son of former Macquarie banker and long-time mining industry executive Nick Curtis, has turned a $250,000 personal investment in Firmus Technologies into a holding valued at $81 million earlier this year. After the next capital raising, this is likely to be higher again.

A wave of interest in artificial intelligence, and investment in the computing power needed for increasingly complex processes, has helped buoy the entire data centre sector, leading to the $24 billion sale of Australian operator AirTrunk to American investment giant Blackstone this month.
Firmus, however, does not just operate data centres, but provides technology which cools the massive, energy-intensive operations sustainably. Founded by Mr Curtis, Tim Rosenfield and Jonathan Levee in 2019, Firmus now counts billionaire investor Alex Waislitz and Melbourne’s Pratt family among its many wealthy shareholders.
“I don’t want to say [Mr Curtis] pulled a rabbit out of the hat because he’s worked very hard, but he’s now in possession of a very gold rabbit,” a person close to the businessman said on condition of anonymity.

Qatrisha Zairyah looks every inch a "Lady Boy".
That is the correct reaction when faced with possessions that one cannot afford; dwelling on them would cause too much misery.
The S'pore Dream is no longer a reality for our young unless their parents leave them a fortune.

SINGAPORE – French bulldog Wangcai started life with a slew of chronic health issues.
First-time dog owners Jackie See and Judyvein Cheng bought the male dog as a four-month-old puppy in 2018 for $4,800 from a local backyard breeder.
Soon the married couple discovered Wangcai had mites, stomach issues, a yeast infection and rashes.
For all the treatments, the couple emptied their savings. Not only that, they also sold their Housing Board flat in August 2023 to clear the credit card loans they took for Wangcai’s medical bills.
Not wanting to give up on Wangcai’s memory, they used some of the proceeds from the sale of the flat to continue their holistic pet food business “as part of Wangcai’s legacy and hopefully to help the pet community using alternative solutions”.
The tragic experience did not stop the couple from loving another dog.
After a year of grieving, they adopted another French bulldog on Christmas 2023 – Bean Bean, a former breeding dog from animal welfare group Voices for Animals.
“Having been through the experience with Wangcai, we believe we will be able to care for Bean Bean better,” Ms Cheng said.

Job market worsens for retrenched workers, but Singapore’s overall labour market remains robust in Q2

But overall labour market performance was strong, with total employment growth more than doubling from the previous quarter and unemployment rates improving.
In a media briefing, Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said: “Our labour market continues to remain tight, meaning that, in general, it is easier for people to find and to keep jobs.”
“However, in the longer term, resident employment growth will moderate,” he cautioned. This is as Singapore’s labour force participation rate is already very high and resident workforce growth will slow.
As previously shown by advance figures in July, the 11,300 rise in total employment in Q2 was driven entirely by non-resident employment, which rose by 12,000.
The number of work permit holders in construction and manufacturing rebounded strongly after declining in Q1.
In contrast, resident employment marginally declined by 600 in Q2, due to seasonal declines in retail trade as well as administrative and support services.
