(Reuters) - Czech Barbora Krejcikova on Sunday called for respect and professionalism in sports media as she hit out at 'unprofessional' remarks made about her appearance during a broadcast on the Tennis Channel.
SINGAPORE : The police have stepped up patrols at places of worship here after a priest was stabbed at a Catholic church in Upper Bukit Timah on Saturday.
Noting that the quick response of church members had helped to prevent further harm to the priest and possibly others, the authorities said the incident emphasised the value of being prepared for an emergency. As with those who helped in the aftermath of the attack, Singaporeans can play their part to build up societal resilience to emergencies by staying alert, responding to threats appropriately and picking up life-saving skills such as first aid, the use of automated external defibrillators and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, said the ministry.
In the statement, Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Law K. Shanmugam said he was encouraged to read about the outpouring of support from the other faiths in Singapore in the immediate aftermath of the attack. This will stand Singapore in good stead if and when other attacks, including terror attacks, take place, added Mr Shanmugam.
