Two young men struggle in iron chains, hanging from a tree over a blazing fire, covered in blood. They sway and groan as they are consumed by the flames, burning alive.
A three-minute video filmed by the perpetrators—identified as members of the military-backed Pyu Saw Htee militia and the Myanmar army—captures the agonising final moments of Phoe Tay and Tha Htaung.

SINGAPORE: S’pore’s nursing strength boosted by recruitment of 5,600 nurses; most registered to work in 2023
SINGAPORE – Efforts to enhance Singapore’s nursing workforce have paid off, with 5,600 nurses accepting offers to work in the public healthcare system in 2023, including 4,500 already registered to work.
Speaking on Feb 10 during a visit to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), on the first day of Chinese New Year celebrations, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said the number recruited exceeded the target announced earlier.
“We are always short of healthcare manpower. So last year, we set ourselves a target to recruit 4,000 nurses, in private as well as public healthcare systems, in order to first replenish those we lost during Covid-19 and, at the same time, expand our workforce further,” said Mr Ong.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) said in January that the number of nurses registered in 2023 surpassed the figure seen in the previous year, when 3,400 new nurses were registered.
There were 43,772 nurses and registered midwives in Singapore in 2022, including 36,995 registered nurses.
The ministry had announced in 2022 the need for intensified local and overseas recruitment to make up for nurses who left the country or the profession during the Covid-19 pandemic, and to meet the growing healthcare needs of Singapore’s ageing population.
