[NATIONAL STADIUM BOOK]
Did you know: Former Singapore Sports Hub CEO Oon Jin Teik had envisioned a roof walk open to the public at the National Stadium, similar to Sydney’s Harbour Bridge walk.

One of veteran sports commentator Brian Richmond’s memories of the old National Stadium is of his younger son Don’s love of char siew buns from the food kiosks.

Football legend Fandi Ahmad’s most memorable match at the former National Stadium was in 1980, when Singapore played against Iran at the Olympic qualifiers.

The National Stadium opened in 1973 and marks its golden jubilee this year. In a new book, journalist Kelly Ng and I document some of its milestones and speak to 15 individuals who have spent many a day at either or both stadiums.
Copies of the 146-page book are available at S$60 each. You can PM me to purchase a copy, or check it out at Ruby YE Photo at Peninsular Hotel Shopping Complex (B1-20, 3 Coleman Street; 11am to 7pm from Monday to Saturday; closes 6pm on Tuesday).

Uniquely Taiwan

The Mazu pilgrimage in Taichung (大甲鎮瀾宮媽祖遶境)is one of the biggest religious and folk events in Taiwan. It celebrates the birthday of Mazu, the patron goddess of sailors and seafarers.

From April 7 to 16, I photographed hundreds of thousands of pilgrims as they made the 300+km journey across four counties and more than 100 temples.

Devotees carry a sedan chair with a statue of the goddess during the pilgrimage.

The combination of the spiritual and earthly was on unique display throughout the journey: Round after round of fire crackers, pilgrims prostrating themselves on the ground for the sedan chair to be carried over them, lively music and skin-baring dancers boosting the morale of devotees and volunteers in the midday heat, everyone sleeping in large communal halls during rest stops, the incredible warmth and hospitality of the people in central and southern Taiwan.

Rich and poor, saints and sinners, young and old – people from all walks of life came together.

It was also a treat for me to see the Taiwanese grassroots culture up close over the nine days.

Hope to get a good platform to showcase this series of photos

A new chapter

I recently received messages from many friends who asked about my future. Thank you for your concern.
I’ve had two dreams in life. One was to study in Japan. The other was to be a photojournalist. I joined TODAY in 2000 and its first issue ran on 10 November.
The media industry has encountered many challenges and is now seen as a sunset industry by some. The Singapore media has not been spared.
Some of my more unforgettable moments at work in the last 17 years include the 2001 General Election.
I was on In-Camp Training and wasn’t working on the night of the Singapore Democratic Alliance’s last rally. One to two hours after it had ended, raucous supporters of popular opposition figure Chiam See Tong were still cheering, waving flags and tapping on the windows of passing cars. The police later arrested 16 people suspected of taking part in a "riot". I had stuck around after the rally and earned what the profession likes to call an “exclusive” or “scoop”.
Back in those days, smartphones did not exist and “citizen journalism” was not like it is today, where people fish out their phones to eagerly document events that spontaneously crop up and post the footage immediately on social media.
These days, photographers have to set themselves more difficult or technical assignments to defend the profession.
In 2004, the incident of Nicole Highway MRT construction site. We were lead by SCDF personnel into the deep ruins of the collapsed site to photographed the rescue operations. It was a 24-7 standby to wait for breaking news of any survivals rescued, taking naps along the streets.
Another project to remember was the six weeks spent documenting the KTM railway in the lead-up to the last train’s departure on June 30, 2011.
I would wake up every morning at 6 and set off on my Honda Phantom bike in hot pursuit of the trains travelling between Woodlands and Tanjong Pagar. I studied maps for vantage points and recced spots all along the 21km stretch, much of it surrounded by vegetation.
Scrambling up some blocks of flats, I also discovered some unique viewpoints. As the deadline for the project drew closer, I would head out on some evenings to get shots that I felt were missing and, on one occasion, chanced upon a couple taking wedding photos.
My black-and-white panoramic photographs later earned a five-page spread in the paper.
Now that my TODAY chapter has ended, a new one begins. I’ve called my new venture WEE images for now.
Going forward, this page will be a showcase of some of my work, both past and future, as well as a platform to share my thoughts on photography. My dream of doing work that feeds the soul lives on.
