Join our discussion to hear if the biennial event is still relevant in 2023?
Synopsis: Every fourth Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times dives into a sports topic and tackles the hard questions with its guests on Hard Tackle.
The region’s biggest sporting event will get underway in Cambodia as athletes from South-east Asia battle for top honours at the May 5-17 SEA Games. Singaporeans will be rooting for the 558 athletes that will represent the Republic across 30 sports, with some like football, indoor hockey and cricket kicking off even before the May 5 opening ceremony.
With the Cambodia Games being the 32nd edition, ST’s Hard Tackle discusses whether the biennial event is still relevant, with some having termed the event as the 'Kampung Games'.
ST sports reporter Deepanraj Ganesan invites two guests for this episode - former sprint-hurdler and four-time SEA Games medallist Dipna Lim-Prasad, and former national water polo vice-captain and three times Games gold medallist Yip Ren Kai.
They discuss why the Games matter and what they are looking forward to in the weeks ahead.

2:07 What do the SEA Games mean?
9:25 Why are the Games known as 'Kampung Games' and what can be done?

Find out how the Healthy Ketogenic diet recently developed by Dr Lim Su Lin, a chief dietitian at the National University Hospital, is different from traditional keto diets.
Synopsis: Every first and third Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you.
Dieting is very challenging for many people. In fact, most people regain the weight they lost, after a year, but what if you need to lose some weight because of your health? Obesity is, after all, a disease that increases the risk of other health issues, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obstructive sleep apnea and others.
Dr Lim Su Lin, chief dietitian at the National University Hospital, held a press event recently to talk about how her Healthy Keto Diet is different from the traditional keto diet, and how it has benefitted many trial participants who are from the hospital.
She said the healthy keto diet is an effective diet for those who are overweight or have obesity and want to lose weight safely. She said it also does not lead to higher bad cholesterol levels. This diet is, however, not suitable for some groups of people, including those who are pregnant, underweight or have eating disorders.
ST's senior health correspondent Joyce Teo hosts Dr Lim as they also discuss the type of cooking oils to use and examples of low-carbohydrate fruits.
Highlights (click/tap above):
0:57 Is the healthy keto diet mainly about carb reduction and healthy eating?
6:38 What makes healthy keto diet different from the rest?
11:04 Examples of healthy fats, low carb foods, low carb fruits, with price consideration factored in too
15:23 Mistakes people make when going on a keto diet?
19:34 A 1-day sample menu of the Healthy Keto Diet

Find out why nations need to invest more in resilience to cope with what’s to come.
Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.
Critical in the climate crisis fight is helping politicians and the public better understand the causes of climate change and solutions, and not allowing vested interests, such as the fossil fuel industry, to muddy the picture and delay action.
To discuss this is Dr Vinod Thomas, a visiting professor at the National University of Singapore, who was a former World Bank vice-president. His recently published book is a guide to how best to respond to the climate change threat and how to become better prepared for the worsening impacts to come.
Highlights (click/tap above):
1:28 Dr Thomas on his just-published book Risk and Resilience In The Era Of Climate Change
4:59 Risks from climate change and from inaction
9:43 Main reasons for humanity’s slow response
13:07 Good news: There are existing and emerging solutions
16:19 There’s a real need to help the public and policymakers ‘join the dots’, to understand the causes and impacts of climate change
