Gregory Yong, Singapore Ex-Archbishop, died of heart failure on 28th Jun 2008, at approximately 2.40pm. He was 83.

His successor, Archbishop Nicholas Chia said “he was saddened by the news but added that he had lived a good life.”

Gregory Yong’s body, which is lying at St. Joseph’s Home, will be transferred to the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd on Monday, 30th Jun 2008.

Gregory Yong Sooi Ngean (Chinese: ???) D.D. D.C.L was the Roman Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Singapore.

From May 20, 1925 - June 28, 2008

Born in Taiping, Malaya on May 20, 1925, he was educated at St. George’s Institution and St. Michael’s Institution in Ipoh, Malaya. In January 1941, he entered the Minor Seminary and in 1944 graduated to the Major Seminary. He was ordained in 1951 and posted to the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Singapore. In 1953, he left for studies in Rome where he was conferred a Doctorate in Canon Law, the very first local priest to achieve the distinction. Back in Singapore in 1956, he was sent as assistant Parish Priest to the Church of the Sacred Heart. In the following year, he joined the teaching stuff of the Minor Seminary. After a short stint as assistant Parish Priest at the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, he was appointed to a teaching position in the Major Seminary, again, the very first local priest to be thus honoured. On July 1, 1968, he was consecrated Bishop, and took over the Diocese Of Penang from Bishop Francis Chan who had died on October 27, 1967.

On February 3, 1977, he was appointed to succeed Archbishop Michel Olçomendy as the first of the local clergy to lead the Church in Singapore. On April 2, 1977, he was officially installed as the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Singapore. He was the second Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Singapore, which was formed in 1972 when the Archdiocese of Malacca-Singapore split and held the office until retiring on October 14, 2000.

He died on June 28, 2008 at St Joseph’s Home, Singapore.

Rest in Peace, Gregory Yong.

Ruslana Korshunova, a 20-year-old female Russian super model, plunged to her death from a Manhattan apartment on Saturday in an apparent suicide.

Local media, citing police sources, said there was no sign of a struggle inside her apartment and that Ruslana Korshunova was believed to have leaped to her death.

A friend said Ruslana Korshunova had just returned from a modelling job in Paris and seemed “on top of the world.”

“There were no signs, I don’t see one reason why she would do that.” an unidentified friend quoted.

A model who walked runways around the world and graced the covers of fashion magazines fell from a Manhattan building Saturday in an apparent suicide, New York City police said.

Ruslana Korshunova, known for her distinctive long hair and green eyes, was apparently killed in the fall at 2:30 p.m. onto busy Water Street outside the Financial District condo building where she lived.

It appeared she fell from the balcony of her ninth-floor apartment, police said, where a large hole was visible in construction netting hanging on the front of the 12-story building.

Investigators were still examining the scene late Saturday, but a police source said there was no sign of a struggle in the apartment. It was unclear if anyone else was in the apartment at the time of the fall or if a suicide note was found. The city medical examiner is to determine the cause of death.

Uga VI, Georgia’s beloved English bulldog mascot, died Friday night from heart failure in Savannah, according to his owner, Cecelia Seiler.

“He didn’t suffer,” Seiler said of Uga VI, her 10-year-old dog. “He lived right here in my den with me for 10 years. He was a happy dog.”

Uga VII’s readiness to take the field for the 2008 football season is a topic for school officials, Cecilia Seiler said, and none could be reached immediately Saturday morning.

Uga VI, who became UGA’s mascot in 1999, was the son of Uga V, the only college mascot ever to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He turned 10 in July and would have been the only one of the dogs other than Uga I to serve past his 10th birthday.

Burial for Uga VI is planned for Monday in Sanford Stadium at the University of Georgia, according to a Savannah Morning News report.
