LISBON — Portugal's conservative President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has signed a bill decriminalizing euthanasia into law in the Catholic-majority country after parliament on Friday overturned the last of his four vetoes. His office said in a statement the president had enacted the legislation 'as he is obliged' to do so under the constitution. Portugal becomes the sixth European Union country allowing the procedure. Opinion polls have long been showing the majority of Portuguese are in favor of the right to choose medically assisted death over suffering.

SINGAPORE: Singapore's Chinese language media Lianhe Zaobao has stressed that it takes its mission of delivering information seriously and remains committed to neutrality. The comments by Zaobao's editor Goh Sin Teck came a day after the Washington Post put up its story 'In Singapore, loud echoes of Beijing's positions generate anxiety' on July 24. Goh said the American newspaper had looked at the issue with its own pre-established perspective and agenda. It selectively left out some facts while intentionally highlighting others to paint a negative image of Zaobao, he said, 'which is regrettable but not surprising to us'.

In Tinder's most encouraging words, 'See what you like? Swipe right!' And so, this generation dived head first. With burnt fingertips from side-to-side motion, singles bear their mornings swiping through pictures and shallow profiles of Metro Manila's most promising bachelors and bachelorettes. Come nightfall, they unleash a wave of heys and hellos. Corny lines and quick remarks run overtime like electric currents through the screen—all things said and done in hopes that the stranger on the other side would feel at least a pinch of exhilaration.
