A | As the countdown intensifies for James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash, one name is sparking growing intrigue, and it is Varang. She isn’t merely a new character; she is the beating heart of the frenzy, the mystery and the towering anticipation surrounding Cameron’s latest chapter. In Avatar: Fire and Ash, audiences will journey deeper into Pandora than ever before, encountering an entirely new civilisation, the Mangkwan clan, also known as the Ash People. Fierce, resilient and shaped by a life of unrelenting hardship, this clan offers a raw and unfiltered window into Pandora’s darker, more complex corners. At their helm stands Varang, a leader forged by suffering, fuelled by purpose, and destined to redefine the emotional stakes of the saga. Bringing Varang to life is Oona Chaplin, granddaughter of the iconic Charlie Chaplin. Varang is not crafted simply as an antagonist or narrative counterpoint, she is a force of nature. Talking about her character, she said, "I never saw her as a villain, and I don't think you say that as well, you're not the villain, you know, it's a little complicated, but I think both of these characters are also very principled. For me, you know, it was a great revelation to have the conversations with Jim around this theme where she tells a little bit about her biography, her kind of origin story, why she is the way she is. And it struck me as like she's actually a very human character, because the depth of trauma that comes from the separation from the connection to nature, which, you know, everybody here understands what that feels like, even if we've forgotten even what that feels like, but, you know, all of that, that disconnection breeds conflict." To embody her intensity, Oona Chaplin immersed herself in curated music and symbolic decor on set, a ritual that helped her channel the fire, pain and conviction that define Varang’s essence. Unlike the Omatikaya and the Metkayina, the Mangkwan are a clan pushed to the edge, a community that has endured deep wounds and spiritual disillusionment. Their suffering has distanced them from Eywa, Pandora’s guiding force. Varang is swiftly becoming one of the most talked-about characters of the year. Avatar: Fire and Ash releases on December 19 in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.

B | 马来西亚公民吴杜媚（56岁，家庭主妇）1980年代中期曾在新加坡的工厂工作近10年，返马定居后超过20年没有处理新加坡公积金存款。她上个月在孩子的陪同下，从森美兰来到新加坡公积金局柜台申请提款，目前还在等待当局批准转帐。“我去年就知道户头要关闭，但由于家庭因素，最近才有空处理。
C | 新加坡向来有效率，我已交上资料，相信很快就会有消息。”马来西亚霹雳州的郭姓自雇者（44岁）25年前曾在新加坡工作。他说，当年缴交了公积金但金额不多，且时间久远，因此已忘了公积金户头号码。他到最近才知道新加坡公积金户头已关闭，存款不再享有和普通会员一样的利率。
D | 他也说，将想办法找出户头资料和确定馀额后，再决定怎么做。
E | 非新加坡公民和非永久居民如果要查询有关公积金户头关闭的详情，可浏览cpf.gov.sg/AccountClosure，或致电+656776 6776。
