New Delhi, Dec 26 (PTI) India’s sports fraternity on Thursday joined the nation in mourning the demise of two-time former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, paying homage to his “calm leadership and wisdom” in stirring condolence messages. Singh, 92, died at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here after losing consciousness at his home owing to age-related ailments. “Sad news of the passing of Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji. A visionary leader and a true statesman who worked tirelessly for India’s progress. His wisdom and humility will always be remembered. My heartfelt condolences to his loved ones,” World Cup-winning former cricketer Yuvraj Singh posted on X. Similar sentiments were expressed by his former teammate and Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha member Harbhajan Singh, who described Singh as a thorough gentleman and visionary leader. “What truly set him apart was his calm and steady leadership in times of crisis, his ability to navigate complex political landscapes, and his unwavering belief in India’s potential,” he wrote. It was during Singh’s second tenure that India hosted the 2010 Commonwealth Games in the national capital. It was the first international multi-sport extravaganza to be held in the country after the 1982 Asian Games, also hosted by Delhi. Former wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who is now a Congress MLA in Haryana, called Singh a man of “extraordinary wisdom, simplicity and vision.” “Dr. Manmohan Singh was not just a Prime Minister, but he was a thinker, economist and a true patriot. His calm leadership style and economic vision gave the country a new direction, from the 1991 economic reforms to establishing India’s reputation on the global stage. “There was depth in his humility and wisdom in his every word. His services and contributions to the country will always be remembered. You will always live in our hearts, Sir,” she wrote in her emotional tribute on social media. Former cricketers Virender Sehwag and VVS Laxman and ex-women’s hockey team captain Rani Rampal were also among those who expressed their sadness at his death. Before serving as Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014, Singh was finance minister in the P V Narasimha Rao-led government and was the brain behind the economic reforms of 1991 that marked the beginning of liberalisation in the country. Widely respected for his intellect and grace in public life, Singh had retired from active politics in April this year after over a three-decade run as a Rajya Saha MP.

For more news and updates on politics, world, sports, entertainment and lifestyle, log on to our website latestly.com ).Hudson Meek, the child actor known best for his performance in the 2017 film "Baby Driver," has died, authorities said. He was 16. Meek was pronounced dead Dec. 21 at University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, the Jefferson County Coroner confirmed to CBS News. He succumbed to blunt force injuries he'd suffered two days earlier, when he fell from a moving vehicle, according to the coroner's report. The coroner said the circumstances around Meek's death are under investigation by the police department in Vestavia Hills, the Birmingham suburb where the actor lived and the incident occurred. A post on Meek's Instagram account Sunday announced he had died but did not share details about what happened. "Our hearts are broken to share that Hudson Meek went home to be with Jesus tonight. His 16 years on this earth were far too short, but he accomplished so much and significantly impacted everyone he met," the post's caption read in part. A memorial service for Meek is scheduled to take place at Dawson Memorial Baptist Church in Homewood, Alabama, this Saturday, Dec. 28, and will be available to livestream, according to a second post shared to social media Wednesday and an obituary . The obituary described as "reflective and thoughtful" yet "tenacious when he set his mind to something." "Hudson's personality was one of a kind," it said. "He was confident, convicted in his beliefs, spontenous, and quick-witted. He never let the facts get in the way of a funny story, and he loved friendly banter. He was a prankster, loved a good joke, and was happiest when he was making others laugh." Meek was a sophomore at Vestavia Hills High School, where he played football and was a member of the choir as well as the school's fellowship of Christian athletes, according to the obituary. His acting career took off in 2017, when he played the younger version of Ansel Elgort's titular character in the action-crime movie "Baby Driver."
An interesting item from Bloomberg (gated) discussing how Chinese authorities have propped up the country's equity markets but slammed the yuan as an unintended consequence: record dividend payouts ("dividend bonanza") lead to currency outflows Between January and March, interim dividends from Hong Kong-listed Chinese companies are expected to hit a record level for the first quarter of US$12.9 billion, following a strong $16.2 billion in the fourth quarter, up 47% year-over-year. These payouts, primarily in Hong Kong dollars but earned in yuan, require currency conversions, increasing demand for foreign currencies and contributing to yuan depreciation. This puts pressure on China's central bank to balance short-term market stability with long-term economic goals, as the yuan nears one-year lows. Chinese companies, especially state-owned enterprises (SOEs), have been increasing dividend payouts since April’s capital-market reforms, which encourage higher shareholder returns and better corporate governance. In 2024, total dividends paid are expected to reach $118 billion. Despite a strong rally in SOE shares earlier this year, the focus on boosting dividends is exacerbating the yuan’s weakening, with regulators stressing the need for consistent cash distributions. Economists suggest that Beijing may take steps to guide dollar inflows to support the yuan as dividend payouts continue to rise.
