  5. SINGAPORE — While seeing a patient, Dr L (not her real name) received a call from someone claiming to be a Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) officer working with the police. The man told her she was in trouble with the authorities. Following his instructions, Dr L, 36, wanted to transfer almost $4 million from her bank account to another account for “safekeeping”, in what she thought was a secret anti-money laundering operation. But as she was communicating with the fake official in a video call, a real policewoman called her to warn her that she was talking to scammers. Confused, Dr L struggled to discern who was lying and who was telling the truth. In a media interview arranged by the police on May 28 at Police Cantonment Complex, Dr L said the scammers were very convincing. The general practitioner said: “I wasn’t even second-guessing whether the person (fake cop) I was speaking to was really the police.” Thankfully, she trusted the legitimate authorities and did not lose any money. Sharing screen On April 8, a man with a local accent claiming to be a bank officer called Dr L just as she started her shift at a private clinic. She was not a client of the bank and was surprised to hear the man read the last four digits of her NRIC. He told her someone had used her identity to register a bank card. Her call was transferred to a purported MAS officer. Through a video call, she saw that he was sitting in a meeting room with a backdrop with the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and MAS logos. He claimed she was one of about 200 people who had their identities stolen, and that she was a suspect in a nationwide money laundering investigation. The man spoke into a walkie-talkie and referred her to his superior, a purported senior investigation officer named “Alan Tan”, who sent her an arrest warrant on WhatsApp and a photo of his MAS identification card. “Alan Tan” said gravely: “If your identity has been stolen, what else is at risk now? Is the money in your account safe?” Dr L, who is single, grew anxious as her parents’ life savings were in the account. She said: “To be honest, I was more worried about protecting my parents’ money.” The scammers told her not to tell anyone as investigations were confidential. So for the next two hours, she locked her consultation room door and stayed on the line. She added: “With a profession like mine, cooperation with the authorities is seen as a sign of good character.” “Alan Tan” told her to transfer her money to another bank account to prevent identity thieves from accessing it. Dr L opened the bank app on her phone and shared her screen over WhatsApp for him to guide her through the transfer process. Believing she was setting up a bank account in her name, Dr L followed his instructions to transfer $29,999. She later learnt from the real police that the funds were being transferred to an account belonging to an unknown merchant. Battle for trust Bank employees stationed at the SPF’s Anti-Scam Command flagged the transfer and quickly alerted Assistant Superintendent of Police Lynn Tan, a senior investigation officer working in the same office. The bank blocked the transfer and ASP Tan immediately called Dr L. Dr L was still on a video call with “Alan Tan” when ASP Tan’s call came in. Seeing the notification on Dr L’s shared screen, “Alan Tan” told her to answer it but warned that there were scammers impersonating the police. Hesitantly, Dr L hung up on the scammers and answered ASP Tan’s call. ASP Tan said: “I could tell she was very confused, because she thought I was the fake police.” Assistant Superintendent of Police Lynn Tan, a senior investigation officer in SPF’s Anti-Scam Command, called Dr L in time and convinced her she had fallen for a scam. PHOTO: Lianhe Zaobao To win Dr L’s trust, ASP Tan sent her an SMS via the gov.sg account, which is accessible only to legitimate government officials. ASP Tan asked Dr L if she had been speaking to “Alan Tan”, a name commonly used by syndicates. Other names include “Inspector Yang”, “Jason” and “Kenny”. Finally convinced, Dr L ignored the scammers’ subsequent calls. She headed to Police Cantonment Complex to meet ASP Tan, and lodged a report. Dr L said: “The main feeling I have is gratitude, for the police working with the bank to protect us.” The doctor was surprised at how she had fallen for a scam, as she typically ignores calls from foreign numbers, and is not into investment schemes promising quick gains. To highly educated people who assume they would not fall for scams, Dr L said: “It can happen to you.” In 2024, victims lost $151.3 million to government official impersonation scams, up from $92.5 million in 2023. ASP Tan urged members of the public to always verify details of people claiming to be government officials through official channels. She said the police would never ask anyone to open bank accounts or transfer money. ASP Tan added: “I don’t think this (government official impersonation scams) will die down any time soon. We need people to be educated and to be aware.”

  7. SINGAPORE – Move over, curry sauce, there is a new flavour coming to your nearest McDonald’s outlet from July 10. The fast-food chain is partnering local seafood restaurant Jumbo Seafood to introduce the Chilli Crab Sauce Burger, in celebration of Singapore’s National Day. You can choose between the prawn burger, which has a two-patty option, and the chicken burger. Be prepared to shell out at least $8.95 for an Extra Value Meal, if you want a side and a drink too. Lathered in chilli crab sauce that McDonald’s promises would capture Jumbo’s signature savoury, sweet and tangy notes, the patty or patties will be paired with lettuce and scrambled eggs, and pinched between two brioche buns. The chilli crab sauce will also be available as a dip, for $1. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Jumbo Seafood to bring a truly local flavour to our customers this year,” said McDonald’s Singapore senior director of marketing and digital customer experience Drina Chee. “Our teams worked closely to develop a chilli crab-inspired sauce that delivers everything we love in this quintessential dish of Singapore, reimagined as not just one, but two uniquely McDonald’s burgers.” Jumbo Group’s executive chairman and group chief executive Ang Kiam Meng said: “Chilli crab holds a special place in every Singaporean’s heart, and it’s exciting to see this iconic dish reimagined so creatively. “While rooted in our rich heritage, we’re always looking to innovate, and this partnership with McDonald’s is a fantastic way to showcase our signature chilli crab sauce in a fresh, bold way.” Also in McDonald’s National Day line-up are the Kampung Drumlets, Iced Dinosaur, Pulut Hitam Pie and Chendol Soft Serve. The new menu items, except the Chendol Soft Serve, will be available at all McDonald’s restaurants and via food delivery platforms from 11am on July 10. The Chendol Soft Serve will be available all day from July 10 at the chain’s dessert kiosks and participating outlets. McDonald’s burgers, inspired by Jumbo Seafood’s chilli crab recipe, will deliver the same savoury, sweet and tangy notes.

  9. [SINGAPORE] Smaller businesses at Taste Orchard are struggling to make rent, with master tenant Hao Mart itself scaling down the food-focused mall’s supermarket anchor tenant. This is barely a year and a half after the mall opened, with Hao Mart having signed a 7.5-year lease with landlord OG for all five levels of the former OG Orchard Point building. The grocery business has faced “significant challenges” in recent years as operating costs rise, said Hao Mart’s senior vice-president of operations, Jupri Suep, in response to queries from The Business Times. The stronger Singapore dollar is causing Singaporeans to spend more in Malaysia, he noted. “This growing trend is putting pressure on the local retail sector, leading to intensified competition and a potential decline in domestic sales – even in prime areas such as Orchard.” Located at 160 Orchard Road, Taste Orchard opened in February 2024 to much fanfare, with long queues for food and beverage players such as Warabimochi Kamakura. At the time, anchor tenant Eccellente by Hao Mart occupied three levels. But now, smaller tenants say they face poor business and low footfall, with some seeing no sales on weekdays. When BT visited at the start of July, there were vacant units on Level 1, 3 and 4. BT understands that at least three Level 3 units have been vacant since the mall opened. The shutters to the basement – occupied by Eccellente up till April – were down. Eccellente’s non-food products have been “strategically” relocated from the basement to Level 2, said Suep. This is part of ongoing efforts “to enhance revenue at Taste Orchard, optimise space utilisation, improve operational efficiency and reduce overheads”, he added. “This move not only streamlines the layout, but also delivers a more seamless and elevated shopping experience for customers within the supermarket on the same floor.” When BT visited Taste Orchard at the start of July, there were vacant units on Levels 1, 3 and 4. PHOTO: PAIGE LIM, BT The basement unit has been listed on real estate website CommercialGuru since Jun 25, at a rental rate of S$180,000 a month. At about 20,000 square feet, it is advertised as a “unique big space in Orchard for multi-concept”, with a flexible lease. Several prospective tenants have expressed “strong interest” in the space, said Suep. Four other units were also listed on Jun 25, with monthly rents ranging from S$9,700 to S$24,000. These include a fully fitted F&B ground unit near the entrance for S$18,000 a month, with a lease of three years. Lack of marketing The initial buzz surrounding the mall has cooled, with several tenants scaling down or leaving. Hao Mart has closed its FYI (Famous. Yummy. Irresistible) Kitchen – an initial mall highlight that included a live seafood station and butchery – and a community space on Level 2, meant to host cooking classes and events for chefs. This was due to “low footfall” for both, said Suep. Part of the FYI Kitchen area has been taken over by Taste Myeongdong, a Korean food hall that opened this February. Hao Mart has closed its FYI (Famous. Yummy. Irresistible) Kitchen – an initial mall highlight that included a live seafood station and butchery. PHOTO: BT FILE Tenants said there was a lack of marketing by the mall’s management, with Taste Orchard remaining relatively unknown. Mohamed R opened North Indian cuisine restaurant Tea Chimes in December 2024, expecting “good footfall” in the prime shopping belt. “Unfortunately since day one, this has not been the case,” he said. “Nobody seems to know about Taste Orchard.” A retailer on Level 3, who declined to be named, said: “A lot of my customers who come here are very confused; they say they’ve not heard of this mall before.” “It’s a lot quieter than expected, and we don’t really see any walk-in customers,” he added. His store, which opened in February 2024, has been doing its own social media marketing. On some weekdays, Chinese traditional dessert shop Tian Bu Shi Fang sees no customers. “Business has not been good... it’s been very quiet,” said owner Fang Yingxin in Mandarin. Even on the weekends, she sees about 10 to 20 customers a day at best. Since opening in May, her sales have been unable to cover rent. Her lease runs till December 2026. Weak anchor tenant Businesses also attributed the poor footfall to Eccellente not being a strong anchor tenant, saying that its downsizing – and other vacant units – does not help Taste Orchard’s image. A tenant on Level 1, who declined to be named, said: “Isn’t it weird to see the basement of a shopping mall in the middle of Orchard Road completely empty like that? It’s the sort of thing that would chase people away.” Eccellente’s grocery offerings have dwindled, the tenant added. Last September, a video showing empty freezers and shelves at the supermarket went viral on TikTok. “There’s no shopping atmosphere here,” said the retailer on Level 3. “I wouldn’t think this is a shopping mall, because it’s so empty and there’s not much decor either.” The vacancies are “in your face”, he added, noting that other malls put up hoardings around empty units. On Level 4, the signboard and furnishings of Ikura Japanese Restaurant – which reportedly closed in December – have not been removed. On Level 4, the signboard and furnishings of Ikura Japanese Restaurant – which reportedly closed in December – have not been removed. PHOTO: PAIGE LIM, BT Suep told BT that Hao Mart is “actively working” to fill vacant units. “As part of managing a retail mall, it is essential to secure suitable tenants who align with our overall tenant mix, and have the financial capability to sustain rental commitments throughout the lease term,” he said. Eccellente removed two rows of empty chillers to optimise its space on Level 2, as it previously had “more chillers than necessary”, he added. “While this is still slightly more than our current needs, we are working closely with our partners to progressively utilise the space more effectively.” Some businesses may leave before their leases end. Tea Chimes took over a three-year lease from previous tenant Chirashi King Kong, which moved out after six months. “We’re not making enough to survive long,” said Mohamed R. “It’s only been about seven months since we’ve opened, but we’ve had to come out with money to stay afloat. We can’t stay for long, unless the building brings in more people.” He thinks that having more well-known F&B brands would help to attract customers, noting that current offerings lack diversity as they are mostly Korean or Japanese. “If you want to be a food harbour, you need to bring more of the big players in to attract the crowd, then they might patronise some of the other smaller fishes. Everybody gets a share.” Level 1 of Taste Orchard.

PHOTO: PAIGE LIM, BT Drawing footfall with events Hao Mart, a subsidiary of Singapore-based Hao Corp, runs a chain of convenience stores and supermarkets. Hao Mart has been in the red for two years, regulatory filings showed. Its loss widened to S$32.8 million for the financial year ended March 2024, from a S$23.2 million loss in 2023. This was as revenue dropped to S$55.7 million, from S$84.2 million before. Hao Mart’s management has received a formal update from just one Taste Orchard tenant about business performance, said Suep. Tenants on Level 3 and Level 4 – which include a spin studio, an education centre, a salon and aesthetics clinics – are “doing fine” as they have established customer bases, he added. Tenants are expected to implement their own marketing strategies, he said. Hao Mart will provide on-site support to showcase them, with a focus “on building and promoting the overall Taste Orchard brand identity”. To draw more footfall and generate income, Hao Mart has organised events at Taste Orchard since 2024, noted Suep. Each month, about two to three events are held across the basement as well as Levels 1, 3 and 4. These include flea markets, gaming zones and international fairs. These have drawn crowds, he added, noting Eccellente’s grocery sales usually “more than double” on event days.

  10. The 52-year-old argued against the prosecutor's request to have all five charges be given a discharge not amounting to acquittal, saying she rather go on trial. SINGAPORE: A woman seen in a viral video putting her feet up against a bus pole when asked to remove her feet from a seat turned up in court on Monday (Jul 7) for five charges against her. Tan Wee Teng, 52, was accused of two counts of public nuisance, two counts of criminal force and harassment for incidents dating between August 2023 and August 2024. According to charge sheets, she put her feet on a pole on Bus 198 at a bus stop along Jurong Town Hall Road at about 10am on Aug 30, 2023, and refused to put them down. This disrupted the public bus service, causing annoyance to passengers who had to disembark as a result. A similar incident involving her feet on a pole and passengers having to disembark allegedly occurred again on Bus 99 in Boon Lay on the evening of Oct 26, 2023. This caused a disruption of the public bus service, resulting in passengers having to disembark and causing annoyance to passengers, the charge read. On the morning of Jan 19, 2024, she allegedly harassed Mohamed Razli Sanusi by cursing at him on Bus 180 along Jurong Town Hall Road. She was also accused of hitting him on his inner calf with a walking aid. The court heard that Tan was given a 12-month conditional warning for these four offences. However, she was charged again for a fifth offence - for hitting bus driver Ding Shuai's arm on Bus 99 at about 11.40am on Aug 23, 2024. The case was heard in court on Monday afternoon, with the prosecutor intending to ask for all five charges to be given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal. Tan would then be given a three-year conditional warning, during which Tan could not offend again or risk being prosecuted for the fresh offence and the old ones. However, Tan protested saying three years was "very excessive". She claimed that she was being "set up" by the bus driver, who knew her and deliberately "hit (her) first" to get her to retaliate. She said she was "innocent" and had written to the Deputy Attorney-General, and had already been crime-free for 12 months. It was therefore unfair to be given another conditional warning for three years. "I would rather go to trial," said Tan. "Because the complainant was not a victim but a self-confessed perjurer!" She cited the case of Dr Yeo Sow Nam, who was acquitted of all charges after the complainant admitted to lying. Tan repeatedly told the court in a heated tone about what had happened that day on Ms Ding's bus. "I did not commit any offence at all except this particular China woman," she said. "She even said no la, no need la, no need ambulance. She tell the police all the lies except the truth, that she hit me first, and she did it intentionally," said Tan. "It's not the first time she saw me. She see me before. ... She purposely hit me ... to provoke me to hit her back. I just tapped her lightly, like tit for tat," said Tan. "She tell the control room that passenger hit her, she want to call the police, then they said - do you need ambulance, are you injured? She said no need la, then they arrested me!" Tan claimed that the bus driver had said "no need la" "in a very sarcastic tone" and had "exaggerated" to "blow up the whole thing". The police then arrested Tan for punching the bus driver, but the charge was later amended to "hitting". At one point Tan broke down in the dock, saying she was "arrested for a serious offence which I did not commit". "It's not fair to me. I say - you might as well prosecute me now. No need to wait three years. I am innocent. Instead of prosecuting the perjurer who lied. They don't have evidence. I was arrested because (of) this China woman," she said, crying. District Judge Lorraine Ho explained matters to her multiple times, as Tan had no lawyer. She previously had a lawyer from the Public Defender's Office, but the lawyer had been discharged. "You told me many times in court today that you did hit her back," said the judge. "I hit her very lightly," said Tan. "You did hit her," continued Judge Ho. "No! She hit me first, you've got to have all the facts right! You've got to get the facts clear, you know! You cannot ... when the evil (person) is still out there ... then you're going to convict everybody of murder? Just because the person was set up by the real murderer?" said Tan. "We are not talking about murder here," said Judge Ho. "Yes but it's the same concept," Tan replied. CCTV FOOTAGE PLAYED IN COURT The judge requested closed-circuit television footage of the alleged hit to be shown in court. The prosecutor showed the incident from four different angles. Tan was seen boarding a bus. The driver reached out her hand towards Tan, and Tan is later seen reacting to the bus driver. Tan, who smiled as she watched the footage, told the judge that she had seen the bus driver before. "And every time she ask me verbally to tap my card, then I ask to alight. A few times, she realise she can't get money just by opening (her) mouth," said Tan. "So every time you try to get on the bus, you don't pay for the fare?" asked Judge Ho. "Yes. I put my bag on the card reader, there's no sound. So the bus driver notice, and I say - open the door, I want to alight," said Tan. "I did see your hand did touch her," said the judge. "Yes, but I didn't punch her. There's a story behind, OK," said Tan. "Therefore the charge was amended to 'hit' her," said the judge. "Yes, but she lied to the police that I punch her!" said Tan. "So you tried to tap the fare gate using your handbag, and this was not the first time," said the judge. "Yes. I alight immediately. If I don't take the bus, I don't have to pay. She recognise me. That was last time la, she didn't use her hand, she use her mouth verbally. She hit me, waiting to hit me, so evil malicious! Then I retaliate back. She provoke me to hit her back," said Tan. "Wait, wait, wait," said the judge. "So this is not the first time you have taken her bus, right?" "Yes, but I do nothing wrong I ask her to open the exit door, I alight and she drive off," said Tan. "So every time she asked you do to this ... because you don't have card with you, you can't pay is it?" asked the judge. "No. I got no card. Sometimes I have the card in my cooler bag, sometimes I take it out," said Tan. "So you don't have a card with you to pay money right," pressed the judge. "I hit her back. I believe she is intentionally hitting me so she can provoke me to hit her back ... I am here to expose her lies!" said Tan. JUDGE'S DECISION After about two hours of back-and-forth, the judge granted the prosecution's application to have all five charges given a discharge not amounting to acquittal. This means that the prosecution will have the option of reviving the charges if Tan commits any further offence in future. "In this case, the prosecution will only pursue prosecution if the accused commits fresh offences during the 36-month conditional warning," said Judge Ho. "A conditional warning is not issued by the courts but by the police. There is no unfairness or injustice caused to the accused as suggested by her, because without a trial she is now unable to prove her innocence that the complainant was lying." Judge Ho added that there was "no delay" on the part of the prosecution, given that Tan was charged in August 2024, and the prosecution made a decision in May 2025 not to proceed further with the charges against her. "Finally, if the accused says she's remained crime-free since her last conditional warning period ... and does not intend to commit any offences in future, then truly the accused will not be prosecuted for any offence once the discharge not amounting to acquittal is granted," said the judge. Immediately after the decision was given, Tan asked if she could request for trial instead. "I want to be prosecuted by the AGC," she said, adding that she was "very curious" what evidence they had against her. If she had been convicted of public nuisance, she could have been fined up to S$2,000 if it was a first offence. Repeat offences include a possible jail term of up to three months. If she had been convicted of criminal force, she could have been jailed for up to three months, fined up to S$1,500, or both. Offenders convicted of harassment can be jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$5,000, or both.

  11. WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS (Reuters) -- President Donald Trump said on Monday the U.S. would impose a 25% tariff on imports from Japan and South Korea beginning Aug. 1 as he unveiled the first two of an expected 12 letters to trading partners outlining the new levies they face. "If for any reason you decide to raise your Tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 25 percent that we charge," Trump said in letters to the leaders of the two Asian countries, which he posted on his Truth Social platform. Later, Trump also announced the U.S. will impose 25 percent tariffs on Malaysia and Kazakhstan, 30% on South Africa and 40% on Laos and Myanmar.

  13. New Taipei, July 7 (CNA) Two women died Monday after they were allegedly stabbed multiple times by one of the women's husband while on a scooter in New Taipei earlier in the day. The incident happened on Section 2 of Mingde Road in Tucheng District at around 11 a.m. when they were suddenly attacked by a man who had tailed them in a car, police said. Emergency responders who arrived at the scene found the two without signs of life, and they were later pronounced dead at a hospital after they could not be resuscitated, police said. The suspect, identified by his last name Hsieh (謝), was subsequently arrested by law enforcement authorities in Changhua County at 1:25 p.m. Based on the preliminary findings of an investigation, the victims were found to be sisters, one of whom was Hsieh's wife, police said without providing further details, including why Hsieh was tailing them. Hsieh is currently being questioned by police, and once the questioning has concluded the case will be handed over to prosecutors to investigate whether Hsieh should be prosecuted on murder charges, the police said. https://focustaiwan.tw/society/202507070016

  22. SINGAPORE - Educators teaching SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG)-supported courses for adult learning will soon be required to clock practice hours and undergo regular training, in a move to raise the quality of training, said Education Minister Desmond Lee on July 7. Speaking at the opening forum of the annual SkillsFuture Festival held at Raffles City Convention Centre, Mr Lee announced a new Training and Adult Educator Professional Pathway that will create a new national registry. From April 1, 2026, those who wish to conduct SSG-supported courses must be on the registry. To stay registered, they must complete at least 40 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours and 80 practice hours every two years. This will ensure that adult educators continue to upgrade, and keep up with industry developments and new training methods, Mr Lee said. CPD hours refer to those spent on learning and development, which includes structured training, workshops and conferences. Practice hours are those fulfilled by delivering training or other activities like curriculum assessment or design. Currently, they only have to complete a certification programme by the Institute for Adult Learning (IAL), said Mr Lee, but he noted that this one-off certification will not be enough. This certification will still be mandatory for adult educators seeking to join the SSG registry. The online registration process for the new registry will start in the fourth quarter of 2025. Apart from ensuring the quality of adult educators, the aim is also to bring in more industry practitioners as they have the necessary knowledge and experience, Mr Lee said. “As such, we will offer more entry pathways for expert practitioners from the industry in certain selected professional sectors to be recognised and certified as adult educators,” he said. SSG will first work with leaders in the legal and healthcare sectors to identify experts in their fields, to nominate them as adult educators. IAL will work with NTUC, through the Education Services Union, to support educators during this transition period. The SkillsFuture Festival is jointly organised by SSG and the Lifelong Learning Institute, and runs from July 7 to July 18. During the festival, Singaporeans can visit various roadshows and job fairs, and attend learning events at venues across the island. Mr Lee said the SkillsFuture movement is celebrating its 10th year, but the journey is “far from over”. Currently, over half a million people, or one-fifth of the workforce, take up SSG-supported courses each year. The number of employers sending their employees for training has doubled from 12,000 in 2018, to 24,000 in 2024, he added. But these foundations must be built on, he said. “Increasing training participation is not an end-goal in itself. Training has to lead to good social and economic outcomes for Singaporeans and for our country,” he said, as he outlined three key shifts for the next phase of the SkillsFuture movement. Aside from measures to improve the quality of adult educators, Mr Lee laid out plans to strengthen employers’ commitment to training, and more support for individuals as they take ownership of their upskilling. More support will be given to employers as SSG continues to grow its SkillsFuture “queen bee” companies to drive training in their sectors, said Mr Lee. Queen bee companies refer to firms that provide industry-relevant training and guidance on training practices, and include Sembcorp, Raffles Hotel Singapore and CapitaLand. Currently, there are 37 such firms providing training to over 5,700 companies, Mr Lee said. The latest firm to join the initiative is UOB, which will focus on skills development in AI, digitalisation and sustainability, as part of a three-year appointment. More than 200 small and medium-sized enterprises and 800 of their employees stand to benefit from the bank’s training programmes, funding and mentorship. “We understand that some employers worry that their employees may choose to leave them for other companies after building up their skills with their current employer’s support,” Mr Lee said. “While this worry is natural, we must remember that this goes beyond firms losing out. Everyone will be worse off if we do not build up our human capital and our resilience as a nation.” Singaporeans will also get more support in their career and skills development with a new advisory centre at the Lifelong Learning Institute building in Paya Lebar, he said. He added that the centre will provide career guidance, job insights and opportunities for industry exposure, while the institute will organise more sector-based workshops. “I encourage everyone to actively tap these opportunities and tap the support provided to equip ourselves to stay agile and relevant,” Mr Lee said. At the opening forum, there was a panel discussion conducted by industry leaders where they spoke about the importance of skills development in the context of artificial intelligence and workforce transformation. They brought up key points including the need for training aligned with business needs, the role of AI in augmenting rather than replacing jobs, and the importance of continuous learning. Ms Gloria Tan, academic manager for training provider Biz IQ Academy, said the new requirements for educators is a timely move that will help raise the bar “across the board” and ensure they remain relevant and credible. “Learners deserve to be taught by someone who’s up to date, especially in fast-changing fields like AI and digital media,” said Ms Tan, who manages a pool of about 40 educators under Biz IQ Academy. Smaller training providers, however, could struggle to meet these requirements due to limited resources, she added. “Training costs, time away from classes, or just not having the internal capacity to manage all this could become real pressure points,” she said. “So, some support or flexibility in implementation could go a long way.” Mr Tay Ee Learn, assistant chief executive and chief sector skills officer of NTUC LearningHub, said the new requirements will give educators a proper path to develop themselves. “Now that we have a more structured pathway, (training providers) have clarity and are better able to scale our training to meet the demands of learners.”

  26. " More than 200 children are being treated in hospital with lead poisoning in north-west China after school chefs used inedible paint to decorate their food. Eight people have been arrested after tests showed the food samples from a kindergarten in Tianshui City in Gansu province had lead levels that were 2,000 times over the national safety limit. In total, 233 children from Peixin Kindergarten had high levels of lead in their blood after eating steamed red date cake and sausage corn bun. The school principal asked the kitchen staff to buy the paint online, according to a police statement. The principal of the privately-run kindergarten and seven others, including its main investor, will now be investigated on suspicion of producing toxic and harmful food. It is not known how long the paint has been used in the food, but several parents told Chinese state media that their children have been complaining of stomach and leg pain and a lack of appetite since March.

  29. ZapIn Singapore, cases of individuals dying alone in their homes and being discovered only after an extended period have become an area of concern. These incidents often involve elderly residents or individuals living in isolation, with neighbours or authorities alerted by odours, uncollected mail, or inactivity. Several documented cases highlight the issue of social isolation in an urbanised and ageing society. Efforts by the government, social organisations, and grassroots initiatives aim to address this, focusing on fostering stronger community ties and implementing welfare checks. Technological solutions, such as emergency alert devices and senior-friendly housing designs, are also being adopted. These incidents have raised awareness about the importance of social cohesion and the need to support vulnerable individuals, ensuring they are not left behind in a rapidly modernising society.
