SINGAPORE: Sport Singapore (SportSG) will launch a new booking platform in June to combat the use of bots and multiple accounts to book its sports facilities. The issue came into the spotlight after reports surfaced that slots were being booked out by accounts using bots or scripted programmes. Between 2021 and March 2023, more than 200 ActiveSG accounts were suspended for suspected use of bots to book sports facilities, and more than 600 bookings were cancelled due to "on-selling", Communications and Information Minister Josephine Teo said in a written parliamentary reply in March last year. My ActiveSG+ The refreshed platform, My ActiveSG+, is part of SportSG’s continued efforts to ensure easy and fair access to the booking of public sport facilities and programmes, the statutory board said in a media release on Friday (May 3). It will also cater to the changing habits and demands of members, SportSG added. MyActiveSG+ will contain features developed off feedback from users of SportSG’s membership management system as well as the recently piloted ActiveSG Beta. The latter was introduced in March as a trial version of the upcoming booking system. The trial will end on Jun 14. MyActiveSG+ will be launched on Jun 15. SINGPASS AND BALLOTS Users of MyActiveSG+ will be required to sign up and login with their Singpass to prevent people from holding multiple accounts or using bots for booking facilities and programmes. A balloting feature for booking peak hour slots will also be available. Users will be able to ballot for slots 14 days before the date of play and the results will be released the next day by noon. Members with successful ballots will have to pay to confirm their slots by 11.59pm that day. Unassigned slots from the balloting exercise will then be released the following day, 12 days before the date of use, for booking on a first-come-first-serve basis. Bookings for non-peak hour slots will remain on a first-come-first-serve basis and will also be available 12 days prior to the date of use. Peak hours are 6pm to 10pm from Mondays to Fridays, and 7am to 10pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. USER-CENTRIC FEATURES MyActiveSG+ will be a web-based platform, which allows users to access its updated version at all times on their devices without having to install and regularly update a mobile app. Parents or guardians will soon be able to link their children to their accounts through Singpass, said SportSG. “Family accounts” will also be introduced on the new platform in time to come. A feature for refunds and cancellations will also be rolled out at a later stage. WHEN AND HOW THE LAUNCH WILL HAPPEN The transition to MyActiveSG+ will take on a “progressive approach”, said SportSG. From Jun 15, members will be able to login to the platform. As part of ActiveSG’s 10th anniversary celebrations, those who log in between Jun 15 and Aug 31 will receive a one-time top up of S$10 (US$7) ActiveSG anniversary credits. From Jul 15, all facilities and programmes will be available for booking. Booking windows will open 14 days in advance from date of facility use or programme commencement. From Aug 15, seasonal and day passes to swimming pools and gyms will also be available for purchase. The current ActiveSG platform will remain accessible till Oct 1. ACTIVESG CREDITS AND ACTIVE WALLET ActiveSG credits will be migrated to MyActiveSG+ between Jun 15 and Jun 30. During this period, users of the existing system may continue to pay for bookings and purchases using credit or debit cards. Users of MyActiveSG+ will be able to pay for bookings and purchases using credit or debit cards as well as PayNow. The S$10 ActiveSG anniversary credits can also be used to offset bookings on MyActiveSG+. Members will be able to start using their ActiveSG credits on MyActiveSG+ by Jul 1. All ActiveSG credits will also be extended to Dec 31, 2025. On the otherhand, the Active Wallet - MyCash will be decommissioned in mid-August and top-ups will cease on May 15. ActiveSG members will be able to use the balance in their Active Wallet till Aug 14 while any remaining funds will be refunded via their Paynow-NRIC-linked bank account by Aug 31. The decision to roll out MyActiveSG+ to members in a progressive manner from June 2024 is to "ensure that we give time for our members to familiarise themselves with the new app", said Alan Goh, CEO, SportSG. It is also to "give ourselves room to make further adjustments based on usage patterns and more feedback from our members as additional features are progressively introduced", he added.

SINGAPORE: An officer from Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has been suspended from duties to assist in investigations amid allegations that he filmed a teenager at a public bath in Japan. “We will cooperate with the Japanese authorities and take the necessary actions. We would also be prepared to waive diplomatic immunity to facilitate investigations if the alleged facts bear out,” the ministry said on Thursday night (May 2) in response to CNA's queries. According to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, a diplomat cannot be arrested. Japanese media reports on Thursday said a diplomat working at the Singapore Embassy in Tokyo was questioned by local police after being suspected of filming a 13-year-old male student at a public bath. MFA said it was made aware of the allegations on Wednesday when contacted by the Japanese media. The ministry said the allegations were made against one of its officers who was previously on post in the Singapore Embassy in Tokyo. “The staff (member) in question had completed his tour of duty as scheduled and returned to Singapore in mid-April 2024,” it said, adding that the officer did not inform the ministry about the incident until he was asked about it on Wednesday. MFA said it expects all its staff to uphold the “highest standards of conduct” and to abide by the laws of their host countries. "From the time of the alleged offence on Feb 27, 2024, to today, we have not received information from the authorities in Tokyo. The ministry has reached out to the relevant authorities for information and will be thoroughly investigating the incident," it added. The diplomat in question is a 55-year-old, who is a "former" counsellor at the embassy, according to NHK. A counsellor is a diplomatic rank for officers serving overseas, such as in an embassy. Yomiuri Shimbun reported that on Feb 27, the man used his smartphone to secretly film a first-year middle school student in the changing room of a public bath. The boy was naked. Staff members at the public bath in Tokyo's Minato Ward reportedly called the police who, upon arriving, searched the diplomat's phone and found "multiple naked photos of male customers", according to Asahi Shimbun. It added that the diplomat refused to go to the police station but told officers he had taken such photos in other public baths. When asked to delete the photos from his phone, the diplomat "deleted them on the spot", reported the Japanese news outlet. He allegedly deleted 700 photos from his phone, which he told police he had taken in the six months leading up to the incident. Source: CNA/zl(mi)

A man in Singapore was made to believe that he was involved in criminal investigations and may be detained for months. He was, in fact, speaking to scammers posing as local authorities. The man was instructed by the “local authorities” to make a series of bank transactions to an account as part of “investigations” and to prove his innocence. He wound up losing about S$2.9 million. But what led to his downfall? A number of factors, such as the scammers using Singapore numbers to contact the victim, as well as the other social engineering tactics they employed to dupe him. Singapore number calling Adam (not his real name) received a call from an unknown Singapore number. As it was not unusual to receive calls from unknown Singapore numbers, he picked up the call and things took a nosedive. The person on the other end of the line told Adam that he was calling from UOB. Adam was informed that he was embroiled in a fraud case. Adam was subsequently referred to another individual who claimed to be a police officer from the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD). The “CAD officer” also contacted Adam using a Singapore number. The “CAD officer” told Adam that he had to be detained as he was suspected to be involved in money laundering. Scammer controlling bank account Adam was flabbergasted and claimed he was innocent but the “CAD officer” did not buy it. The “CAD officer” said Adam had to prove his innocence instead by obeying their instructions. He had to transfer money out of his account to another account supplied by the “CAD officer”. The “CAD officer” told Adam that the transferred monies will ultimately go back to him as they had worked with the Monetary Authority of Singapore to open the other account under Adam’s name. Thinking that the money would ultimately go back to him, Adam made the transfers. Unbeknownst to him, however, the bank account was under the scammer’s full control. It is uncertain whether Adam will recover any of the money lost. Investigations are ongoing. S$384 million lost to scams using local numbers in 2023 Since the government introduced measures blocking overseas scam calls and SMSes, the days of spoof scam calls from foreign numbers starting with the +65 prefix are now gone. These days, scammers have come up with a workaround, using Singapore numbers to reach out to unsuspecting victims. They also use these numbers to receive scam monies, such as via PayNow, and to set up accounts on messaging applications, such as WhatsApp and Telegram, to carry out their scams. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the losses from scams and cybercrimes involving local mobile numbers have tripled from S$137 million in 2021 to S$384 million in 2023. The number of such cases has quadrupled from 5,867 in 2021 to 23,519 in 2023. To prevent local SIM cards from falling into the wrong hands and being misused by scammers, MHA introduced the Law Enforcement and Other Matters (LEOM) Bill on Mar. 7, 2024. It was passed in Parliament on Apr. 2, 2024. What does the bill do? Who will be penalised? 1) Irresponsible subscribers The LEOM bill will penalise "irresponsible subscribers" — people who give others their local SIM cards or their particulars to sign up for local SIM cards for unlawful purposes. Additionally, these irresponsible subscribers may be liable if they gave away their SIM card for any gain, or if they did not take reasonable steps to figure out why the recipient wanted the SIM card. 2) Middlemen Second, the bill will also penalise middlemen supplying, receiving or possessing local SIM cards, which are registered in other persons’ particulars or unregistered. Middlemen may be liable for handling 11 or more such SIM cards without legitimate reason, or for dealing with SIM cards previously used for crime. They may also be liable for buying, selling or renting a local SIM card registered in another person’s particulars, in exchange for money or other benefits. 3) Errant retailers Third, the bill will penalise mobile service providers or retailers who facilitate fraudulent registrations. This includes using stolen or false credentials to register local SIM cards, which they then sell to scammers. The criminalising of such activities complements IMDA’s existing regulations for mobile service providers. It will allow for heavier punishments, such as imprisonment sentences, to be imposed on retailers and employees involved. What if I transfer SIM cards for legitimate purposes? The offences are not intended to penalise people who give away their local SIM cards for legitimate purposes. This includes people who register SIM cards in their names for family members’ use, or employers holding on to SIM cards intended for their employees. The offences are also not intended to penalise people who were genuinely tricked into giving up their credentials, which were subsequently used to register for local SIM cards. For instance, should an elderly person's particulars be misused to register for SIM cards, the elderly person would not be liable for an offence if it is found that he had "no reasonable grounds to believe that his particulars would be used". What are the penalties? People who commit these new offences will face a jail term of up to three years, a fine of up to S$10,000, or both. Those receiving, supplying and possessing SIM cards and facilitating fraudulent registrations face higher penalties if they repeat the offence. Such offenders can be jailed for up to five years, fined up to S$20,000, or both. How can I protect myself? Take good care of your SIM cards and personal particulars and do not pass them to strangers, as they might be misused for scams and other crimes. You can also adopt the following three steps to protect yourself from scam calls and SMSes: Add the ScamShield app, which will help block calls and detect SMSes from known scam lines. Check for scam signs with official sources. Be vigilant even when the call or message is from a Singapore number. Tell your family and friends about scams. If you have information about such scams, you may submit it to the police at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness.

Fans of Malaysia's Oriental Kopi will no longer have to cross the Causeway to get their fix of the coffee chain's signature brews and tarts. Oriental Kopi is collaborating with Singapore-based restaurant group Paradise Group to open its first-ever overseas outlet in Singapore. In a press release on Thursday (May 2), Oriental Kopi revealed that it plans to open its first outlet here in the third quarter of 2024 in a prime location. The chain aims to open a total of eight outlets in Singapore within the next three years. Oriental Kopi's signature item is, of course, the eponymous Oriental Kopi, a full-bodied Nanyang-style brew made from a blend of Arabica, Robusta and Liberica beans. Other coffee variants include butter coffee and white coffee. The chain, which started as a single coffee shop in 2021, is also famous for its range of egg tarts which have won the record for thickest egg tart in Malaysia, according to the Malaysia Book Of Records. Other noteworthy items include their polo bun and nasi lemak. Oriental Kopi has added that it will be introducing Singapore-exclusive menu items in the outlets here. Paradise Group's Chief Operating Officer Edlan Chua said: "We are thrilled to embark on the group’s very first joint venture with Oriental Kopi. Its commitment to quality resonates deeply with Paradise Group, and we are confident that it will be a well-loved concept by Singapore diners." Oriental Kopi's Group Managing Director Calvin Chan added: "Joining forces with Paradise Group represents an exciting chapter in our Oriental Kopi story." Source: CNA/hq

A tourist from Hong Kong, who wants to be known only as Jojo, claimed she had such a bad experience at D'Resort @ Downtown East that she does not want to come to Singapore any more. "No water and no power for the whole night. No refund. No apology. Only poor hospitality," she told Stomp. "When l checked in at night on April 1, the staff told me there would be no power from 2am to 5am because of an annual maintenance. "The staff was aware of my concerns and assured me the shutdown would not last too, maybe around 15 to 20 minutes. 'No worries.' l thought several minutes was acceptable. It was too late and expensive to change to another hotel." Ms Jojo showed Stomp a photo of a notice informing guests of the power disruptions but claimed she was not informed about the disruption to the water supply. "Unfortunately, there was no water from around midnight and no power until next morning," she claimed. "I couldn't sleep with a sweaty body, having just landed. The weather was super hot, almost 40 deg C. No air-conditioning and no windows could be opened,. l could hardly breathe! l wanted to open the door but the corridor was super hot, too! I almost fainted in that terrible, dark, hot room. "My hair was full of shampoo and body was covered with shower gel. I felt ill and had allergic reaction on my skin after that awful night," she said. "It totally ruined my holiday! I cancelled all meetings in the following days. "I saw the doctor twice after the trip. The doctor said l had heatstroke that night and the shower gel caused the reaction. I am still seeing the doctor and taking medicine." In response to a Stomp query, a spokesperson for D'Resort @ Downtown East said: "The guest arrived at 5.50pm on April 1 to check in, and the front desk staff duly informed her regarding the shutdown scheduled from 2am to 5am on April 2. "They explained that there would be intermittent disruptions to the power supply due to the maintenance being conducted in time blocks" Guests could choose not to check in and get a full refund, according to the spokesperson. Ms Jojo claimed she was not given this option when she asked the staff what she could do. The spokesperson continued: "The shutdown for the guest's block commenced at 3.29am, and the power was restored at 4.12am. "Separately, when the guest called at 12.40am on April 2 to inform the resort of the low water pressure, the staff apologised to her, mentioning that we would check immediately. "A technician was immediately dispatched, and it was found that the water pump on level five had tripped. The technician was instructed to fix it and the water supply was restored to normal shortly after. "The resort has responded to the guest's emails and apologised to her for the inconvenience caused, as well as extended a 50 per cent discount for her next visit, valid for a year." Ms Jojo, who has filed a report with the Consumer Association of Singapore and Singapore Tourism Board, is unlikely to take up the offer. "l have stayed at many hotels in different countries and never had such a terrible experience, even in developing countries," she said. "I liked Singapore before, even wanted to move to Singapore, but l have changed my mind. It seems to have no consumer protection, which is very basic in civilised countries. "I won't go to Singapore any more!"

Joshua Dean, a Boeing whistleblower who warned of manufacturing defects in the planemaker’s 737 Max, has died after a short illness, the second Boeing whistleblower to die this year. Dean, 45, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems, filed a complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) alleging “serious and gross misconduct by senior quality management of the 737 production line” at Spirit. In 2018 and 2019, two 737 Max planes were involved in fatal crashes, which killed 346 people. Dean was fired by Spirit last year, and filed a complaint with the Department of Labor alleging that his termination was in retaliation for raising safety concerns. According to the Seattle Times, Dean was hospitalized after having trouble breathing. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and a serious infection before dying two weeks later. “He passed away yesterday morning, and his absence will be deeply felt. We will always love you Josh,” Dean’s aunt, Carol Dean Parsons, said via Facebook. Dean was represented by the same law firm that represented Boeing whistleblower John “Mitch” Barnett. Barnett, 62, was found dead in March from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Barnett spent almost three decades at Boeing, and told the New York Times in 2019 that he had found “clusters or metal slivers” hanging over the wiring of flight controls that could have caused “catastrophic” damage if they had penetrated wires. He alleged that management had ignored his complaints and moved him to another part of the plant. Last month, another Boeing whistleblower, Sam Salehpour, told Congress there was “no safety culture” at Boeing, and alleged that employees who raised the alarm were “ignored, marginalized, threatened, sidelined and worse”. He said he feared “physical violence” after going public with his concerns. US regulators are now investigating Boeing after a mid-air door-panel blowout in January on a Boeing 737 Max 9. Reuters reported last month that the justice department is now weighing whether Boeing violated an agreement that shielded it from criminal prosecution over the fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019. https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/02/second-boeing-whistleblower-dies

The 55-year-old reportedly took pictures of the student using his smartphone at a bathhouse in Tokyo’s Minato ward in February Police also found ‘multiple naked photos of male customers’ on the device which he had taken in the six months leading up to the incident A diplomat at the Singapore embassy in Tokyo was questioned by police after being suspected of filming a male teenager at a public bath, according to Japanese media reports on Thursday. The diplomat in question is a 55-year-old, who is a “former” counsellor at the embassy, according to NHK. A counsellor is a diplomatic rank for officers serving overseas, such as in an embassy. The Yomiuri newspaper reported that on February 27, the man used his smartphone to secretly film a 13-year-old secondary school student in the changing room of a public bath. The boy was naked. Staff members at the public bath in Tokyo’s Minato ward reportedly called the police who, upon arriving, searched the diplomat’s phone and found “multiple naked photos of male customers”, according to the Asahi newspaper. It added that the diplomat refused to go to the police station but told officers he had taken such photos in other public baths. When asked to delete the photos from his phone, the diplomat “deleted them on the spot”, reported the Japanese news outlet. He allegedly deleted 700 photos from his phone, which he told police he had taken in the six months leading up to the incident. The Tokyo police are investigating potential violations of child pornography laws and are planning to ask Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) to have the man turn himself in, said Asahi. Formal charges are also being considered. The diplomat has been dismissed as a counsellor but is immune to arrest in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which states that diplomats cannot be arrested or detained in a country they have been dispatched to. When asked by the Asahi newspaper on Thursday, the embassy was reportedly unaware of the public bath incident. The embassy also told the paper the diplomat had “completed his assignment as of April 12” and has returned to Singapore. CNA has reached out to MFA for comment. https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/3261178/japan-police-investigate-singapore-diplomat-allegedly-filming-naked-schoolboy-tokyo-public-bath

A 43-year-old man suddenly collapsed while working. Although he woke up after emergency rescue by his colleagues, he fell into coma again on the way to the hospital, and finally he could not survive. The deceased, Cai Yangguang, was an army officer. After leaving the army, he joined the family business as an engineer. He had always been in good health, but unexpectedly he suddenly fainted while working last Sunday (April 28) and was pronounced dead after being sent to the hospital. His sister Cai Tingting (40 years old) said in an interview at the mourning hall that the incident happened so suddenly that the family still has difficulty accepting her brother's death. Cai Tingting told the reporter of Shin Min Daily News that at around 2 pm that day, her brother suddenly fainted while working. A company employee immediately came to his rescue and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and he later regained consciousness. People around him immediately called for an ambulance. But on the way to the hospital, Cai Yangguang fell into coma again. The accompanying medical staff immediately rescued him, but he never woke up and was pronounced dead after arriving at the hospital. Cai Yangguang's father also accompanied the ambulance to the hospital. Cai Tingting recalled Cai Yangguang's personality with emotion, saying that he was a responsible person and had a good relationship with his family. "He is a good son and brother. He has always attached great importance to and taken care of his family. He will be the first to stand up and solve problems at home." Cai Yangguang’s wife Zhenmei (35 years old, engineer) told reporters that she met her husband in 2013 and they got married six years ago. She said her husband was a very hard-working and motivated man who had always devoted himself to the family. "He is not only a responsible man, but also a kind person who gets along well with everyone." Cai Yangguang and his wife have a four-year-old son. The funeral hall for the deceased is located at Woodlands Memorial Hall. The funeral will be held at 12 noon on Friday (May 3) and sent to the Mandai Cremation Ground. Physically fit and with no history of heart disease The deceased had always been in good health and had no family history of heart disease. Relatives and friends were quite surprised that Cai Yangguang suddenly fainted and passed away. Doctors later informed the cause of death was cardiac arrest. His military friend Mr. Tang (43 years old) told reporters that Cai Yangguang was a lieutenant colonel (LTC) before leaving the army last year and served in the army for more than 20 years. "His body has always been very strong, and we can't believe that he suddenly collapsed." Cai Tingting said that neither Cai Yangguang nor his parents had any history of heart disease. However, family members also revealed that the deceased had a smoking habit before his death.
