  4. It looks like department store BHG is not just closing its Jurong Point outlet — it’s also closing its other westside branch at Clementi Mall. According to a press release sent by the company today (Dec 21), it will focus on its remaining Bugis Junction flagship store and two heartland outlets at Bishan and Choa Chu Kang. The retailer launched a new e-commerce platform this year, where shoppers can click-and-collect their purchases at the Bugis flagship or opt for home delivery. It cites the online store as its new “hub and spoke business model”, a corporate term where the e-platform acts as a retail hub supported by BHG’s physical stores (spokes). It will also close its Raffles City collab department store Come January 3, 2022, BHG will also shut One Assembly, its collaborative store with Raffles City Shopping Centre (which is owned by CapitaLand). The store had taken over Robinsons’ defunct space in January 2021, with a similar department store concept offering goods ranging from clothing to beauty products and homeware. It is currently holding a 90 per cent off moving out sale. BHG’s press release adds that it will “continue [its] relationship across other malls” with CapitaLand. It opened a new in-store cafe, though Last month, BHG Bugis teamed up with homegrown bistro chain Marmalade Pantry to open Marmalade Pantry Petite within the store. The small cafe serves light bites like house-made cakes and waffles, as well as beverages like coffee. The store also revamped its beauty hall by adding spa cabins to its beauty counters and digital make-up swatching (since you can’t remove your mask to try on cosmetics in stores these days). Interestingly, it also introduced ‘roving cashiers’, where roaming BHG staff armed with iPads can check out customers’ purchases on the spot without having to crowd at cashier counters. The new normal of shopping, we suppose.

  6. Asian food in western countries usually draws flak for being misrepresented and exorbitantly priced. But does that mean we should avoid it altogether? In a YouTube video uploaded yesterday (Dec 20), Japanese YouTuber Ghib Ojisan and his Singaporean wife tried $50 worth of Singapore hawker food during their recent holiday in London, and their verdict might surprise you. The Singapore-based YouTuber is no stranger to local hawker fare as he has lived here for a couple of years with his wife. "It's our fourth day in London and we're kind of already missing Singapore," he shared in the video. He also explained that to satisfy their cravings, he had looked up some of the "best and most popular restaurants" in London that sell hawker food. This led the couple to Mei Mei, which is a popular stall founded by Singapore-born chef Elizabeth Haigh, situated in London's Borough Market. $16 chicken rice? Upon reaching Mei Mei, Ghib Ojisan admitted that as Borough Market is generally a "very touristy" destination, he didn't expect the prices here to be very wallet-friendly. And he was right. A quick look through Mei Mei's menu revealed that a serving of Hainanese chicken rice that usually costs $2 to $3 in Singapore is priced at a whopping £8.50 (S$16). Other dishes like nasi lemak cost £11.50, while a simple kaya toast set was £8.50. Yikes. "I think I'm going to faint," Ghib Ojisan said jokingly as he took in the hefty prices. After much deliberation, the YouTuber finally settled on the Hainanese chicken rice, nasi lemak and Singapore chicken curry (£8.50), with the grand total amounting to £28.50. Honest thoughts The first dish that the couple dug into was the Hainanese chicken rice, which Ghib Ojisan said "looks quite authentic". It came with the usual plump chicken slices, chilli sauce, ginger sauce, cucumber, white onion and coriander. "That's actually pretty good," he confessed to the camera as he bit into a piece of chicken. While the rice also ticked off all the right boxes in the flavour department, Ghib Ojisan said that it was a little on the mushy side and shared that he personally prefers his rice to be fluffier. And despite the chilli tasting a little different from what we are used to in Singapore, the three accompanying sauces also passed the taste test. "Overall, this is a really nice chicken rice. I cannot believe it," he concluded. "It's quite nice lah, not bad. If I live here, I might come here to eat [sic]," his wife chimed in. Next up was the nasi lemak. Right off the bat, Ghib Ojisan noticed that it looked a little different from our local nasi lemak. PHOTO: YouTube/Ghib Ojisan For one, the provided boneless chicken was deep fried and came in the form of a cutlet. Additionally, the peanuts and the ikan bilis were a little bigger than usual. He said that the fried chicken was done more Taiwanese-style, while his wife added that it was "lacking in spices like turmeric". "This is good, but I think it's not something you want to order if you miss the authentic taste [of nasi lemak]," Ghib Ojisan concluded bluntly. Lastly, the couple tried the curry chicken, which also looked a little different. PHOTO: YouTube/Ghib Ojisan For one, while local chicken curry usually features peeled and cubed potatoes, Mei Mei uses unpeeled, whole potatoes in their dish. Additionally, the curry came with tomatoes and cilantro, which are not usually added to Singapore-style curry chicken. The couple also noted that overall, the dish is on the sweeter side. Despite these, they were still impressed to find that the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the curry was "comparable to even some of the hawker stalls in Singapore". "It tastes like home," quips his wife. To conclude their meal at Mei Mei, Ghib Ojisan declared that the "verdict is delicious". However, he also reiterated that the prices here are "very steep". But besides the price, some commenters also brought up the fact that just a few months back, Elizabeth was accused of plagiarising another celebrity chef's cookbook, adding that they "would not recommend" Mei Mei for that reason. Nevertheless, if you're planning on travelling to London via the Vaccinated Travel Lane and find yourself missing local food, seems like there's no harm in trying some of the Asian offerings there. Just be prepared to spend a bit more than usual on your chicken rice and nasi lemak.

  11. SINGAPORE - Prices in Singapore are rising more sharply than expected, with inflation at its highest in several years. Both bad news and good contributed to this. The good news is that there is greater domestic demand for goods and services as the economy recovers. On the flip side, prices are also being driven up by rising import costs amid global transportation bottlenecks. The prices are starting to rise after a spell that saw them fall amid plunging demand during the pandemic. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) said on Thursday that wages have increased and are expected to continue rising at a steady pace as slack in the labour market dissipates. This adds to both costs and prices. The Republic’s overall and core inflation continued to climb in November, after both benchmarks hit their highest in several years the previous month. Core inflation, which excludes rents and private road transport costs, climbed to 1.6 per cent last month from 1.5 per cent in October, amid rising services costs and is expected to rise further in the months ahead. This is the indicator that better captures the underlying trend in consumer prices and the one that MAS monitors most closely. Analysts polled by Bloomberg had expected core inflation to remain unchanged at 1.5 per cent. The last time the core inflation rate was higher was in March 2019, when it hit 1.7 per cent. Overall inflation edged up to 3.8 per cent in November, from October’s more than eight-year high of 3.2 per cent. It outdid the 3.4 per cent forecast by analysts polled by Bloomberg. MAS and MTI raised their overall inflation forecast for this year to 2.3 per cent, up from around 2 per cent previously, given the sharp rise in private transport costs in recent months due to higher certificate of entitlement (COE) premiums. They kept their overall inflation estimate for 2022 unchanged at 1.5 per cent to 2.5 per cent. UOB economist Barnabas Gan said this means the high inflation rate is likely to be temporary. Headline and core inflation have both averaged 1.4 per cent over the past 10 years, he noted. Private transport inflation rose to 17.9 per cent in November, from 14.3 per cent the previous month, on the back of a larger increase in car prices. Electricity and gas costs also saw a steeper increase - of 10 per cent in November, compared with October’s 7.8 per cent - mainly due to a decline in the number of households on standard price plans for electricity as some retailers exited the market.a Services inflation edged up to 1.9 per cent, from 1.6 per cent in October, due to a faster pace of increase in airfares as border restrictions eased, and a smaller decline in telecommunication services costs. Home rents rose, leading to accommodation inflation of 2.7 per cent, compared with October’s 2.5 per cent. Food inflation, likewise, climbed to 1.9 per cent in November, from 1.7 per cent the previous month. However, the cost of retail and other goods fell more sharply - at 0.9 per cent in November, compared with October’s 0.4 per cent decline - due to a larger fall in the price of clothing and footwear. Core inflation is officially expected to average 0.9 per cent for 2021 as a whole, and increase further to 1 per cent to 2 per cent next year. MAS and MTI said: “Amid construction delays, accommodation inflation should remain firm and continue to support (overall) inflation in 2022. Meanwhile, private transport inflation is likely to moderate next year on the back of a slower pace of increase in COE premiums and petrol costs.”

  12. On Wednesday, Singapore announced new travel restrictions to manage the spread of omicron. The latest move comes as the government’s approach to pandemic management, once strict and orderly, has become increasingly inconsistent and chaotic. Here are some residents’ recent stories from quarantine, which can last almost three weeks: A European national tested positive for Covid and began self-isolating at home. Two days later, he received a call that authorities suspected he had omicron and an ambulance would be coming to pick him up. He was still watching Netflix, bare-chested and in shorts, when a pair of medical workers arrived at his home in full protective gear, wearing gowns, face shields, masks and goggles. He barely had time to shove his devices, chargers and clothing into a bag, forgetting his toothbrush, before getting whisked into a van without air conditioning. When he arrived at the quarantine hotel, he was told that he would be sharing a room with a stranger from a different flight. He was never presented with an official test result. Residents who have returned this month from travel abroad are describing situations where they have been forced from their homes, ordered to share quarantine facilities with complete strangers, told to hand their unsupervised children off to authorities, and urged to abandon their pets. Some now face hefty hospital bills. This treatment is a far cry from what travelers expected of the quarantine-free program for vaccinated passengers from countries including the U.S., U.K., France, South Korea and India that had been announced with great fanfare this fall. The setback will dent Singapore’s status as a smoothly functioning financial center. His wife said authorities have tried several times to take their child, who is under 10 and also tested positive, to a hospital alone or to an individual hotel room. She has refused to comply, acknowledging that her decision could mean fines or imprisonment. “The thought that you’re in your home and you have to pack and leave? In this country? I don’t have the right to refuse to be hospitalized,” she said. A British citizen tested positive after returning from the U.K. She received dozens of calls and WhatsApp messages from several different people at the Ministry of Health, each giving conflicting information about what her next steps should be. Some said she could isolate at home, while others said she would have to move into quarantine. When she eventually was picked up by an ambulance, authorities wouldn’t tell her husband where they were taking her. After arriving at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases, a hospital, she was shuttled into a room, where she sat alone for hours. She alerted the staff that she hadn’t had dinner and was given three slices of white bread and butter. It wasn’t until reading a local newspaper report the next day that she found out she had tested positive for omicron. Despite having bought travel insurance, she’s now on the hook for thousands of dollars in hospital bills. Her husband, who tested positive, was also taken to NCID and then transferred to a quarantine hotel. When they struggled to make arrangements for care of their two dogs and cat during their 10-day absence, authorities said the couple would have to “find a solution.” A Singaporean who lives and works in the U.S. was returning home for the first time in four years. He tested negative upon arrival, and started going out to meet friends and family for meals. The next day, he got a call that he had been identified as a close contact of someone who had tested positive for omicron on his flight. He was picked up by an ambulance the following day. This traveler says he’s confused about what qualifies as “close,” given that he had been sitting in business class, far from others on the plane. His last communication from Singapore Airlines Ltd. before boarding doesn’t specify, leaving passengers guessing whether whole planes will be put into quarantine if one person tests positive, regardless of individual test results. Most of his trip will now be spent in quarantine. “I would not have come back if I knew this would happen,” he said. Other travelers, he says, have returned to attend weddings and funerals, only to miss them entirely. After introducing the latest travel curbs, the Ministry of Health said, “Our border measures will help buy us time to study and understand the omicron variant, and to strengthen our defenses, including enhancing our healthcare capacity and getting more people vaccinated and boosted.” The good news is that we are starting to learn more about omicron. Researchers suggest that, despite its high degree of infectiousness, this strain may be less severe than delta. But even when there was little information about the variant, we knew that one would arrive. The truth is, you don’t need to have all the facts to prepare for an emergency. Strict rules are core to Singapore’s style of governance: Most everyone who lives here or visits accepts that. The trouble is combining stringent regulations with haphazard communication and high stakes for noncompliance. “If I had been mentally prepared, I wouldn’t have suffered half as much as I did,” the Briton told me. Some people I spoke with are now planning to leave Singapore for good. Expats will come and go. The problem for the government isn’t a few disrupted Christmas holidays, but rebuilding trust in regional business travel, particularly among employment-pass holders who aren’t guaranteed re-entry. Early in the pandemic, many expat families were split up for months because one parent had been traveling abroad when Singapore closed its borders. Who will get on a plane and chance that outcome today? What business will want to foot the bill for an employee’s indeterminate hotel stay if borders shut suddenly? Singapore may be proudly risk averse, but it seems all too willing to gamble its carefully managed reputation away." https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-12-23/omicron-upends-singapore-s-travel-strategy-as-returning-residents-face-chaos

  13. A shopping trip to Italy turned into a nightmare for a mother and daughter duo when their luggage containing $15,000 worth of new designer shoes, bags and clothing was stolen from their tour bus. It was the pair's first trip in two years. They discovered the theft on Saturday evening (Dec 18). "We reached our hotel in Naples after dinner and were about to check in. It was only when the cargo hold of the bus was unloaded that we discovered that the bags were missing," said Madam Yeo, 50, who declined to give her full name. Eight pieces of luggage belonging to 12 people on a vaccinated travel lane (VTL) tour operated by Singapore-based agency EU Holidays were stolen from the cargo hold of the bus. Madam Yeo's daughter, 19, who did not want to be named, said the theft likely took place while the tour group was having dinner. She said: "The last time we saw our bags was when we departed from Assisi in the morning... The driver stopped at a few petrol stations along the way so that he could refuel and we could use the restrooms. We then had dinner before reaching our hotel." Another victim, Ms Irene Chye, 57, lamented the inconvenience caused, and said the situation could have been avoided. She added: "My clothes and medication are all gone, and it's worse because of the cold weather. I think the bus driver should have been more careful to keep an eye on the bus, as the safety of our luggage was entrusted to him." According to Shin Min Daily News, EU Holidays director Wong Yew Hoong said his company would assist the travellers in making claims against their travel insurance policies. Mr Wong added that the bus operator had also agreed to bear a portion of the loss. Madam Yeo said this was the first time she had experienced such an incident, adding: "The bus companies should take more precaution on this. I was looking forward to this trip after not having travelled for two years. "Even though I bought travel insurance, I'll still be losing money - I can claim up to $500 for each item, and some of the bags and shoes I bought cost a few thousand." An IT professional who wanted to be known only as Mr Chen had one piece of luggage stolen. He was travelling with his family of five. He praised their tour guide for doing his best to help those affected by the theft. "He took us to the police station in Naples that same evening so we could report the theft and then took us out the next day to replace our essential items," he said. The group is currently in Rome, and will return to Singapore on Thursday (Dec 23). Madam Yeo said she was determined to make the most of the rest of the trip. She said: "Even though I was still in a state of shock, having lost all of my shopping and my belongings, I followed the rest of the group the next day when they visited the island of Capri. "It's not like staying in my hotel room will help the situation, so I might as well make the best of what time I still have here." https://tnp.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/travel/15k-new-designer-wear-and-bags-among-luggage-stolen-vtl-tour-group-italy

  17. A 34-year old man from Singapore has broken a 34-year record by successfully having intercourse with 57 different women within a 24-hour period. The erstwhile record holder successfully had sex with 55 women in a 24-hour period in 1983. The record was set in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, as part of an annual event run by a local brothel. The man, who was not named by local Czech media, told reporters that he had been training hard for months and was delighted to have broken the previous record, which stood at 55. “I’ve always been a bit of a sex addict, and when I learned that the brothel was having a world record attempt, I knew I had to come and give it a go,” he said. “I took it really seriously and trained for it just like an athlete would prepare for a marathon. In some ways, it’s actually much harder than a lot of professional sports.” The world record attempt began at midnight local time, with officials looking on as the man commenced intercourse with his first partner. “For the world record to count, every woman I slept with had to be different, so the venue had to hire a number of girls from other brothels,” the unnamed man said. By midday, he was ahead of world-record pace, having slept with 29 women. “I started to get a bit of a cramp around then, but luckily, we had a physiotherapist on hand to give me a massage, which helped out,” he told journalists. As part of the conditions attached to the world record, no challenger is allowed to take any prescription medicine to enhance their erection, and the Singaporean man passed a test to reveal his system was clear of such medication. “Natural remedies are permitted, but I won’t disclose what supplements I take,” he said. In addition, for each individual session of intercourse to count, the participant must ejaculate more than 5ml of semen. The record officials were on hand to dutifully measure the amount of fluid ejaculated by the man at the end of each session. “It’s not the most sought-after job, but we find it rewarding in our own way,” said one of the judges involved. The previous record holder, an American porn actor, slept with 55 women within a single 24-hour period back in 1983 as a promotional stunt for a new film release. For decades, men around the world have tried – and failed – to break that mark. “I personally never thought the record would be broken,” said one judge. “It’s a true credit to this man’s determination and perseverance.” Just shortly before 11pm, the man broke the record after he completed his 56th session of intercourse, and officials were impressed when he decided to add one more to the tally to finish with 57. Officials believe it will be unlikely for the record to ever be broken, particularly as such a high volume of sex in a short period of time causes great trauma to the penis. “As soon as he finished his 57th partner, he was rushed to hospital for treatment to his penis,” said one official. “In the past, men have actually chafed their penis so much attempting to break the record that they’ve had to have skin grafts; and in one severe case, amputation was actually required. Clearly it’s a risky record to break.” . Europe Herald.

  18. In an effort to curb Americans’ sodium intake, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this week called on chain restaurants and food manufacturers to voluntarily slash the salt content in their products. The goal: to reduce Americans’ typical daily sodium intake from 3,400 milligrams (mg) to 3,000 mg, a roughly 12 percent decrease. The recommendations would still put Americans’ daily sodium consumption far above the U.S. dietary guidelines' recommended limit of 2,300 mg for people ages 14 and up. Yet the FDA said in a statement that “even these modest reductions made slowly over the next few years will substantially decrease diet-related diseases.” Even if the food industry doesn’t embrace the guidelines, the FDA’s move is a step in the right direction, says Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, MPH, dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University in Boston. “Most Americans will still be far above recommended intakes, but this will still save tens of thousands of lives per year,” Dr. Mozaffarian says. Your Body on Salt Not all salt is bad. The body needs about 500 mg of sodium daily for essential functions, like conducting nerve impulses, contracting and relaxing muscles, and maintaining a proper balance of water and minerals, according to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Yet the high-sodium diet many people eat puts too much strain on the kidneys, allowing sodium and water to accumulate in the bloodstream and forcing the heart to work harder to pump an increased volume of blood through the body. Eventually, this leads to high blood pressure and an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, kidney disease, and blindness, according to the FDA. Chronic Disease and Salt Intake: What Are the Stats? A previous study found that sodium intake above 2,000 mg a day was responsible for an estimated 1 in 10 deaths from cardiovascular causes worldwide. Another study calculated the health benefits to Americans from reducing daily sodium intake by 1,200 mg, roughly the amount needed to bring our salt consumption within limits recommended by dietary guidelines. Each year, a reduction of this magnitude could prevent up to 120,000 new cases of heart disease, 66,000 strokes, 99,000 heart attacks, and 92,000 deaths, the analysis found. RELATED: A Salt Substitute May Cut Stroke Risk in People With High Blood Pressure or Prior Stroke Food Culprits High in Salt A single teaspoon of table salt contains 2,300 mg sodium. And the 3,400 mg of sodium people typically consume each day equals about 1.5 teaspoons of salt. But 70 percent of the sodium in American diets doesn’t come from the salt shaker on kitchen tables. Instead, it’s found in packaged, processed and restaurant foods, according to the FDA. In fact, about 40 percent of the sodium in American diets comes from just a handful of foods, the FDA notes: Deli meat sandwiches Pizza Burritos and tacos Soups Savory Snacks (chips, crackers, popcorn) Poultry Pasta mixed dishes Burgers Egg dishes and omelets Reductions in sodium in all of these packaged and prepared meals could make it easier for Americans to cut back on salt without making drastic changes to their eating habits, the FDA said. “Hidden salt is everywhere in the typical American diet, and it adds up quickly,” says Kelly Kennedy, RDN, staff nutritionist at Everyday Health. “For the most part, people are aware that it’s in processed and packaged foods, but may not know just how much they are eating in a typical day.” What may surprise consumers is that foods that are high in sodium may not taste salty, says Samantha Heller, RD, a senior clinical nutritionist at New York University Health in New York City. For example, a Dunkin' Donut’s glazed donut contains 270 mg of sodium and a 16-ounce Caramel Frappuccino at Starbucks has around 230 mg of sodium, Heller says. A 16-ounce can of traditional Progresso chicken noodle soup has 1,510 mg of sodium. And salt is lurking in meals at chain restaurants, Heller notes. A chicken avocado melt at Panera has 1,990 mg of sodium, for example, and a five-piece order of handcrafted chicken tenders at Popeye’s has 3,035 mg of sodium. Cooking at home also isn’t a foolproof way to limit sodium in your diet unless you carefully read the labels on the ingredients you use to prepare your meals. That’s because sodium often lurks in pantry staples like canned tomatoes, salad dressings, and jarred or bottled sauces. While it’s hypothetically possible for a person who eats mostly whole foods to have a naturally low-sodium diet, the reality is most people don’t eat or cook in a way that makes this happen, Kennedy says. And when people dine out, even restaurants considered healthy may still be offering us foods loaded with sodium, Kennedy adds. “What’s worse, salt is even added to foods that we would generally consider whole foods,” Kennedy says. Chicken breasts, for example, are often injected with a sodium solution that helps maintain their moisture and adds weight to the final product, Kennedy notes. “Unfortunately, it also greatly increases the amount of sodium that the consumer gets in their meal.” RELATED: 7 Ways to Prevent Hypertension How to Cut Back on Salt in Your Diet One way to reduce sodium is to eat less when you go out, and consider ordering sauces or dressings on the side, Kennedy suggests. And when you cook at home, try to make sauces and dressing from scratch and limit how many processed or packaged ingredients go into the recipe. People can also reduce their sodium intake by carefully reading nutrition labels on packaged foods when they’re at the grocery store. Here’s how the FDA recommends reading the labels: The Daily value (DV) for sodium is less than 2,300 milligrams (mg) per day. The percent DV shows how much of the maximum recommended amount of sodium is in a single serving Check the total number of servings in the package to determine how much sodium you’re really consuming Aim for less than 5 percent DV for sodium if you’re looking for low-sodium foods Limit or avoid foods with 20 percent DV or more for sodium

  19. A refrigerator caught fire in a stall at 409 Ang Mo Kio Food Centre and Market on Saturday night (Dec 18). Stomper Tee alerted Stomp to the incident and shared footage of Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers at the scene. In the video, the officers forced open the stall's shutter and pulled out the fridge. The affected stall belongs to Feng Cun Organic Health Food. In response to a Stomp query, the SCDF said it was alerted to the fire at 11.40am. "The fire involved a refrigerator in a stall on the first floor," an SCDF spokesman said. "SCDF conducted forced entry into the unit. "SCDF extinguished the fire using a dry powder fire extinguisher." There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation

  21. SINGAPORE - Airlines will no longer be allowed to sell new vaccinated travel lane (VTL) flight tickets for travel into Singapore from Thursday (Dec 23) until Jan 20, as the country tightens its borders amid a rising number of imported Covid-19 cases. The suspension of sales also applies to those travelling on the Singapore-Malaysia land VTL. But eligible travellers who have earlier bought tickets will still be allowed to travel via the quarantine-free travel scheme. The Ministry of Health (MOH) announced the new border measures on Wednesday. The move - the biggest setback in Singapore's attempt to reopen its borders so far - comes as the number of imported cases hit a new high since the emergence of the Omicron variant. “Our border measures will help to buy us time to study and understand the Omicron variant, and to strengthen our defences, including enhancing our healthcare capacity and getting more people vaccinated and boosted,” the ministry said. The authorities will also temporarily reduce VTL quotas and ticket sales for travel after Jan 20, in another move to limit exposure to imported Omicron cases. The VTL scheme allows fully vaccinated travellers from selected countries to enter Singapore without having to serve quarantine. This facilitates quarantine-free travel to countries which have earlier opened up to Singapore. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said it will cap total ticket sales on VTL flights into Singapore at 50 per cent of the allocated quota from Jan 21. Additional precautions will also be put in place to protect the aviation community, it added. First, all airport workers who interact with arriving passengers, including those working in public areas such as taxi stands, will have to wear more personal protective equipment. This includes N95 masks and face shields. Second, all front-line airport workers will minimally be placed on seven-day polymerase chain reaction (PCR) rostered routine testing, instead of the current seven-day antigen rapid test (ART) routine testing cycle. In addition, for higher risk front-line airport workers, there will be an employer-supervised ART on the third day of their seven-day PCR testing cycle. This will also apply for Singapore air crew. In a Facebook post on Wednesday, Transport Minister S. Iswaran reiterated that those who have already bought VTL flight tickets and meet VTL requirements will still be able to travel to Singapore without quarantine. “I understand that some might be disappointed by these changes to the VTL scheme, but it is an essential and prudent measure to protect public health,” he said. “It is crucial that we tighten our safeguards when warranted by the public health risk assessment, to protect the health and safety of our fellow Singaporeans, front-line aviation workers and travellers.” MOH also said that travellers entering Singapore under the VTL scheme will face stricter enforcement. All VTL travellers must test negative on their self-administered ART before going out for activities each day. The only exception is on day three and day seven of their arrival, when travellers must undergo supervised testing at a testing centre before going about their activities. Your browser does not support iframes, but you can use the following link: <a href="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/q6jg4/2/" title="">Link</a> As at Monday, there were 71 confirmed Omicron cases detected in Singapore, with 65 imported cases and six local cases. The MOH has said that given Omicron's high transmissibility and spread to many parts of the world, Singapore should expect to find more Omicron cases at our borders and also within our community. Worldwide, several countries have tightened both border and local restrictions in the face of the Omicron variant. For example, Italy has raised its Covid-19 risk assessment of Singapore, and has thus banned tourists flying over from the Republic.

  23. i12 Katong along East Coast Road temporarily closed in early 2020 for major asset enhancement works. The 210,000-square foot mall is set to reopen in the fourth quarter of 2021, after almost close to two years of works. Shoppers can look forward to new tenants, such as climbing gym Climb Asia, PS Café, and bubble tea shop Signature KOI in addition to pre-existing anchor tenants. Anchor tenants CS Fresh, Golden Village (GV), United World Preschool and Wine Connection will be returning. In addition to the popular Gold Class theatre, GV Katong will be the first GV cinema to offer a new integrated concept where people can watch a movie and enjoy other lifestyle activities. New tenants such as Climb Asia, Guzman Y Gomez, Kindermusik With Love Studios, Malaysia Boleh, PS Café, Signature KOI, We are Sultans and Scoop Wholefoods will move into the revamped mall. The main atrium will be expanded and relocated from level 2 to level 1. Public areas and amenities spruced up include the addition of escalators and lifts and the enhancement of the glass façade. Energy-efficient designs, technologies and environmentally sustainable management systems, such as electric vehicle charging points at the car park will also be incorporated. Additional features Three new specially-curated zones, namely Fashion Lifestyle, Home and Living, and Family Entertainment, will be included. More information about the zones will be released at a later date. Before the revamp, i12 Katong was a popular retail venue for Marine Parade residents when it opened in late 2011, but its initial layout was too economical and tight. i12 Katong Address: 112 E Coast Rd, Singapore 428802 Reopening: Q4 2021
