SINGAPORE: Two-term Member of Parliament Louis Ng confirmed on Tuesday (Apr 22) that he will not be contesting the General Election, despite efforts by Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam and Prime Minister Lawrence Wong to persuade the former Nee Soon GRC MP to stay. "He (Mr Ng) spoke with me last year about wanting to step away. And I said he is still very young, he should continue. And the reasons were intensely personal," said Mr Shanmugam, who again will anchor the People's Action Party (PAP) team contesting Nee Soon this year. "I can tell you that I spent many hours trying to persuade him to stay. And not just me, the prime minister himself - the current secretary-general - spoke with him many times. "He thought about it a lot. He took what we said very seriously. You know, he had a lot of value, both to Yishun and parliament, but his decision was based on very personal reasons. And we decided to, I mean, we had to agree." An emotional Mr Ng on Tuesday cited family reasons for his decision, as the role of an MP made him miss "a lot of important milestones" in his daughters' childhoods. "I now want to be more present in their lives and be there for the little, but precious, important moments," he added, as the other PAP members wiped his tears and put their arms around him. Mr Shanmugam had announced on Monday that the PAP will field four new faces in Nee Soon GRC this year. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/ge2025-peoples-action-party-nee-soon-grc-louis-ng-shanmugam-cry-5079831

SINGAPORE – A 20-year-old man who allegedly molested a stewardess on board a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight and shoved her into a restroom with him was handed a molestation charge on April 22. Indian national Rajat, who goes by only one name, is accused of committing the offence at around 11.20am on Feb 28. Court documents did not state where the plane had departed from. Police said on April 21 that the 28-year-old cabin crew member was escorting a female passenger to a restroom when she noticed a piece of tissue paper on the floor. “As the female crew (member) bent forward to pick it up, the man allegedly appeared behind her, grasped her, and pushed her into the lavatory with him,” said a police spokesperson in a statement. “The female passenger, who witnessed the incident, helped the (woman) out of the lavatory immediately. The incident was then reported to the cabin supervisor.” Officers from the Airport Police Division arrested Rajat when the plane landed at Changi Airport. orations and affiliates as well as their agents and authorised service providers. marketing and promotions. He is expected to plead guilty on May 14. This is the second reported case in The Straits Times in April involving molestation on board a flight. On April 2, retiree Balasubramanian Ramesh, 73, who is an Indian national, was sentenced to nine months’ jail after he pleaded guilty to four molestation charges, each involving one SIA stewardess. Three other similar charges involving one of the four victims, whom he molested on four separate occasions, were considered during his sentencing. He had molested the four cabin crew members on board a flight from San Francisco to Singapore in November 2024 as he found them attractive. Balasubramanian, who used to work as a manager in a bank in India, had not consumed alcoholic drinks during the flight, the court heard. For each count of molestation, an offender can be jailed for up to three years, fined, caned, or receive any combination of such punishments. Balasubramanian cannot be caned as he is over 50 years old.https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/man-charged-after-he-allegedly-molested-stewardess-on-board-sia-flight https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/man-charged-after-he-allegedly-molested-stewardess-on-board-sia-flight

Solar cells exported into the US from Malaysia and its neighbours Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam will be subjected to steep anti-dumping duties. Malaysia’s rate is the lowest at 8.59% among antidumping and countervailing duties (CVD) on the four Southeast Asian nations. Certain companies based in Malaysia, however, are slapped with duties of as high as 81.24% due to their non-cooperation with investigations. Investigations into imports from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, Commerce found that companies in each country were receiving subsidies from China, according to a statement by the US Department of Commerce. “These are among the first CVD investigations” where the Department of Commerce “made an affirmative finding that companies received transnational subsidies,” the department added. The decision follows investigations over a case filed by the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee last year, complaining that Chinese manufacturers with production plants in Southeast Asia dump high volumes of solar products in the US. The trade group accused Chinese solar manufacturers of unfair trade practices by dodging tariffs on solar cells and solar panels by shifting their supply chains and shipping their products through Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Malaysia exported US$1.9 billion (RM8.31 billion) worth of solar products into the US in 2023, while receiving countervailable subsidies averaging 34.41%, according to the investigations. The US also decided to levy imports of photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, with final dumping margins of 271.28% for Vietnam, 125.37% for Cambodia, and 111.45% for Thailand. The duties, however, still depend on the decision by International Trade Commission, a separate US agency, which has until June 2, 2025 to make its final injury determination before the Department of Commerce enforces the duties. https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/752425

Ms Liu told Shin Min Daily News that she was taking her daughter out for dinner when the incident happened. While riding the escalator up to the platform, she felt someone grab her buttocks. "I was startled and turned around to find that it was a man," she said. "Behind him was a male student who seemed to have witnessed the whole process and looked at me in shock." She confronted the man on the spot, but he denied the act. Ms Liu then called the police and claimed that the man tried to escape the situation by walking down the upward-moving escalator. "I yelled at him and took the escalator down as soon as I reached the platform." When she caught up to him, the man was about to tap out of the station. She stopped him on the spot and with the help of other commuters, asked the station staff for assistance. "He denied the act several times. About 10 minutes later, several police officers arrived and took us to a room in the station to take our statements." Ms Liu took to Xiaohongshu to share the incident, saying: "I chose to call the police to set an example for my daughter and other victims - bravely protect yourself and punish the evil!" The police confirm that a report was lodged and investigations are ongoing.

SINGAPORE: A 36-year-old man is assisting with investigations over the suspected illegal manufacture and supply of sex drugs, and sale of vapes, following a raid by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA). In response to CNA's query, HSA said on Monday (Apr 21) that this is the first case involving the illegal manufacture of sexual enhancement medicines. The authority added in a press release that it carried out a raid on a Housing Board (HDB) flat at Beo Crescent on Mar 21 after receiving information about the occupants' alleged involvement in the illegal manufacturing and storing of health products in the unit. More than 18,000 units of prescription sexual enhancement medicines and supplements, several pieces of equipment and related paraphernalia were seized, along with 30 e-vaporisers and components. The items seized have a street value of about S$51,000 (US$38,910), HSA said. The authority noted that the equipment and paraphernalia were used for the manufacture of capsules. "They included a blister pack sealing machine, capsule filling machine, empty gelatine capsules, empty bottles and containers, and printed labels for various sexual enhancement products," it said. "To date, HSA has not detected the sale of these illegally manufactured sexual enhancement products online." HSA added that local e-commerce and social media platforms have been informed to put in place measures to prevent the online listing of these illegally manufactured products.

(File photo: HSA) NO KNOWING WHAT THE CAPSULES CONTAIN "Health products made in non-licensed facilities could pose an immense health risk. The products are produced under poor manufacturing conditions with no quality controls," said Ms Annie Tan, director of HSA's enforcement branch. "There is no knowing what the capsules contain, and the consequences would have been dire should this illegal manufacturing facility not have been disrupted and shut down." Members of the public are advised to be alert when buying health products. "Only purchase from trusted pharmacies or well-known retailers with an established presence in Singapore," HSA said. They should steer clear of health products from unknown or unverified sources, in particular those sold online, and be wary of products that claim to have "miraculous results" or "no side effects". They should also report suspicious health products to HSA and only seek medical advice from healthcare professionals. Authorities seized more than 970,000 units of illegal health products last year, and sexual enhancement medicines and sedatives made up 19 per cent and 18 per cent of the illegal products respectively. HSA said it takes a serious stand against illegal activities that would harm public health. Anyone found guilty of importing, manufacturing or supplying illegal health products can be jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to S$50,000. It is also an offence to sell, possess for sale, import or distribute e-vaporisers and related components. Any person who is convicted may face a fine of up to S$10,000 or jail up to six months or both.

A 59-year-old woman has been fined S$4,800 for feeding pigeons illegally in Bukit Merah, despite multiple warnings from authorities. According to Shin Min Daily News, Yuan Lixuan (transliterated from Mandarin) was charged with 18 counts of feeding wild animals without permission. She pleaded guilty to four of the charges, with the rest taken into consideration during sentencing. Court documents revealed that Yuan had been illegally feeding pigeons in the area since 2016 and had already been fined three times for similar offences. Despite repeated advice from enforcement officers that feeding wild animals without authorisation is illegal, she continued doing so. Woman brought loaves of bread to feed pigeons After receiving a public tip-off, enforcement officers from the National Parks Board (NParks) and Tanjong Pagar Town Council conducted a patrol along Jalan Merah Saga at 7.20am on 5 April. They spotted Yuan pouring a bag of mung beans onto a concrete planter box, which quickly drew a flock of around 50 pigeons. CCTV footage showed her using an insulated bag to carry food, including five to six unopened loaves of bread and a bag of mung beans. She was seen scattering the food on the ground, drawing a large number of pigeons. Residents raised concerns about hygiene Residents in Jalan Bukit Merah, Redhill Close, and Silat Avenue have previously complained about neighbours who frequently fed pigeons.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) -Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died, the Vatican said on Monday, ending an often turbulent reign marked by division and tension as he sought to overhaul the hidebound institution. He was 88, and had suffered a serious bout of double pneumonia this year, but his death came as a shock after he had been driven around St. Peter's Square in an open-air popemobile to greet cheering crowds on Easter Sunday. "Dear brothers and sisters, it is with profound sadness I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis," Cardinal Kevin Farrell announced on the Vatican's TV channel. "At 7:35 (0535 GMT) this morning the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father." On Sunday, Francis had made his first prolonged public appearance since being discharged on March 23 from a 38-day hospital stay for pneumonia. In an Easter Sunday message read aloud by an aide as the pope looked on from the main balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, the pontiff had reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. At the Vatican, tourists and pilgrims visiting for Easter expressed their shock and grief. The pope had also held a brief meeting on Sunday with visiting U.S. Vice-President JD Vance. "My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him," Vance said on X. Other world leaders were reacting to the pope's death with praise for his efforts to reform the worldwide church and offering condolences to the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni mourned the departure of "a great man, a great shepherd". European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said: "He inspired millions, far beyond the Catholic Church, with his humility and love so pure for the less fortunate." Jose Ramos-Horta, the president of East Timor, where Francis visited in September 2024 as part of the longest foreign trip of his papacy, said the pope "leaves behind a profound legacy of humanity, of justice, of human fraternity". 12-YEAR PAPACY Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected pope on March 13, 2013, surprising many church watchers who had seen the Argentine cleric, known for his concern for the poor, as an outsider. He sought to project simplicity into the grand role and never took possession of the ornate papal apartments in the Apostolic Palace used by his predecessors, saying he preferred to live in a community setting for his "psychological health". He inherited a church under attack over a child sex abuse scandal and torn by infighting in the Vatican bureaucracy, and was elected with a clear mandate to restore order. But as his papacy progressed, he faced fierce criticism from conservatives, who accused him of trashing cherished traditions. He also drew the ire of progressives, who felt he should have done much more to reshape the 2,000-year-old church. While he struggled with internal dissent, Francis became a global superstar, drawing huge crowds on his many foreign travels as he tirelessly promoted interfaith dialogue and peace, taking the side of the marginalised, such as migrants. Unique in modern times, there were two men wearing white in the Vatican for much of Francis' rule, with his predecessor Benedict opting to continue to live in the Holy See after his shock resignation in 2013 had opened the way for a new pontiff. Benedict, a hero of the conservative cause, died in December 2022. Francis appointed nearly 80% of the cardinal electors who will choose the next pope, increasing the possibility that his successor will continue his progressive policies, despite the strong pushback from traditionalists. https://sg.yahoo.com/news/pope-francis-died-vatican-says-075536994.html

in front say says relations entering a 'new golden age' behind race to secure Boeing jets dropped by China

KUALA LUMPUR, April 20 — Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) is exploring the possibility of accelerating its Boeing aircraft acquisition timeline, following delivery slots potentially vacated by Chinese carriers due to the ongoing United States (US)-China trade war. Group managing director Datuk Captain Izham Ismail said the group views the situation as a potential window to secure earlier-than-expected aircraft deliveries from Boeing, although competition among global carriers for available slots remains intense. “MAG is in conversation with Boeing about whether we can take over those slots. So, we will meet our number faster (fleet). “Everybody wants it, 10,000 people want this aircraft. It is a competitive space and we are mindful of what we are getting into,” he told Bernama. It was reported that the Chinese government ordered its airlines to halt Boeing deliveries amid heightened trade tensions between the US and China. The US plane manufacturer has begun flying its jets, which were previously refused by Chinese airlines, back to the US. Additionally, Izham said that any additional aircraft acquired would not be part of MAG’s initial order of 25 aircraft, which are under a leasing arrangement with Air Lease Corporation (ALC). The aircraft from ALC’s order book with Boeing will be delivered to the Malaysian carrier from 2023 until the beginning of 2026. “So if we are able to snatch this, we will need to go to the capital market to raise money for this,” he said. He noted that acquiring an aircraft is not a simple decision, as the airline company needs to consider specific requirements. “Where is the aircraft in the production line? Is it still a green tail (without an owner)? Or is it halfway through the production process? The other consideration is the seat supply. “(Consider) what you order versus what is available. So, if this aircraft already has seats, it might not meet our configuration,” he said. He said that among the key considerations is the aircraft’s cabin configuration, which the industry refers to as the layout of passenger accommodations (LOPA), including seat arrangement, lavatories, and galleys. “Holistically, we want this aeroplane, but there are other considerations,” he said. Strategic fleet expansion Meanwhile, group chief strategy and transformation officer Bryan Foong Chee Yeong said MAG is shifting its fleet strategy to meet the demands of the growing Asia Pacific regional network, particularly in congested Asean capital cities. “Today, we are a narrowbody Boeing 737 operator, but by 2035, we envision a more widebody-focused fleet. “For example, destinations like the Asean capitals are very congested. (But), we simply cannot add more frequency to some routes due to congestion. So, we need bigger aircraft to increase capacity,” he said. He also revealed plans to expand or replace the airline’s Airbus A350 fleet, with long-term goals set as far as 2043. MAG financial strategy and Khazanah’s role Group chief financial officer Boo Hui Yee said MAG has exercised careful financial management in utilising the RM3.6 billion capital injection committed by sole shareholder Khazanah Nasional Bhd, drawing only RM1.3 billion to date. “We have been cash-positive, and we are able to cover our operating costs. As of December last year, we still have (around) RM2.3 billion without drawdown. We do not want to draw down more cash and then induce a negative carry. “Under the restructuring agreement, by this year, they (Khazanah) are supposed to inject the money (RM3.6 billion), but we do not want to induce negative carry. We are talking to lessors to extend to 2026 or 2027,” she said. Meanwhile, Izham also revealed plans to reduce reliance on operating leases by acquiring more aircraft outright. Currently, around 80 per cent of the MAG fleet is leased, and the group’s ambition is to achieve a fleet balance of 50 per cent owned, 50 per cent leased, he said. “Leased aircraft come with end-of-lease (EOL) costs. You must return them in near-new condition, which can be very expensive. Owning (aircraft) helps taper long-term costs,” he said. — Bernama https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2025/04/20/malaysia-aviation-races-to-secure-boeing-jets-dropped-by-china-plans-fleet-shift-and-capital-raise/173836
