A 70-year-old man's decomposing body was found in his Bukit Merah HDB flat on Thursday (April 25) after a neighbour had noticed a pungent smell emanating from the unit. The police told AsiaOne that they were alerted to a case of unnatural death at Block 121 Bukit Merah View at 3.28pm that day. The man was found lying motionless and was pronounced dead at scene. When a Shin Min Daily News reporter visited the ninth floor of the block at about 5pm on Thursday, it was reported that a foul stench lingered in the corridor. A 65-year-old woman surnamed Jiang, who lives on the same floor as the deceased, said the man moved in over a year ago and lived alone. Describing the man as a kind person, Jiang said the deceased would typically exchange greetings and chat with the residents. He would often eat with her and her husband at the community centre and had a good relationship with his neighbours. "We made plans last week to attend an activity at the community centre together, and he told us to take care of ourselves," she recalled. "I never thought that the next update from him would be this bad news." Jiang added that the man had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar. He occasionally had to visit the hospital for medical check-ups but could still walk with no problems. Other neighbours whom Shin Min spoke to said they had occasionally smelled something rotting but did not think much of the smell. They had not seen the man for several days, and it is believed he had died a few days ago. Based on preliminary investigations, the police told AsiaOne they do not suspect foul play. Investigations are ongoing.

SINGAPORE – The police are investigating a case of a teenager found living in a wet market stall for almost a year. Stall owners at the Circuit Road Market and Food Centre said the girl, who barely spoke and merely gestured, relieved herself in pails in the stall as she would not leave even to use the toilet. They said she lived in the stall, which measures around two by three metres, with her father who rented it. The Straits Times understands that the girl and her father are Singapore permanent residents. The stall owners, who declined to be named, said National Environment Agency (NEA) officers conducting checks at the market in early April noticed the girl. The police said they received a call for assistance on April 4 at Block 80 Circuit Road, which is the address of the market. A 63-year-old man is assisting with investigations into ill-treatment of a child or young person by neglect under the Children and Young Persons Act, said the police. Those convicted can be jailed for up to eight years, fined up to $8,000, or both. A Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) spokesman said NEA reported the case to the ministry’s Child Protective Service (CPS) on April 3. The MSF spokesman said: “CPS arranged for the child to be admitted to a hospital for medical assessment, and is looking into alternative care arrangements for the child after her discharge to ensure her safety and well-being.” The spokesman said MSF will not provide additional information as police investigations are ongoing and to protect the privacy of the child and family. Speaking to ST on April 19, MacPherson MP Tin Pei Ling, under whose constituency the wet market belongs, said MSF told her the girl had been living in the stall for 11 months. Ms Tin said NEA informed her about this case in early April and she was shocked when she first heard about it. She said: “I regularly visit this market and there was nothing unusual that I had noticed. In fact, I had just visited the market stalls during the Chinese New Year period. “I am really concerned because the girl is so young. So, I have been checking in with MSF to get updates and to check on how she is doing.” When ST visited the market on April 19, the three units that stall owners said were rented by the girl’s father were shuttered. Foldable mattresses, two soft toys and a fan were in one unit. Stall owners said the units have been shut since NEA conducted its checks around three weeks ago. A 55-year-old stall owner who declined to be named said the father sold vegetables at one of the stalls he rented, and lives in the second stall with his daughter. She said he rented a third stall to store items. She said since she opened her stall at the market in 2014, she noticed the girl and her father spending a lot of time at their stall, even after the market is closed for the day. She said: “I’ve known the girl since she was very young but I never knew her name. I’m not sure if she has any learning difficulties but I’ve never heard her speak. She only gestures and waves. “We know she relieves herself in buckets in the stall. The smell can sometimes be really strong. I’ve rarely seen her leave the stall, not even to use the toilet.” An 80-year-old stall owner who wanted to be known only as Mr K said he and his wife had got used to the smell. The couple rents a stall several units away. Mr K said he had never seen the girl in school uniform, and was unsure if she was enrolled in a school. He said: “Even though she doesn’t speak, she always seems cheerful. At times, she would touch her stomach and gesture to me that she was hungry, so I would buy her food. “But her father did not let me give her food. He would just pass her white bread and say she has eaten.” When asked why they did not alert the authorities about this, the stall owners said they did not want to create trouble. Mr K said he had advised the father to get help from the authorities, especially if he had difficulty raising his daughter. Mr K added: “But he told me he did not need any help, so I had no choice but to mind my own business. If someone doesn’t want to be helped, I felt I couldn’t force them to (get help).” A 15-year-old girl lived and slept in a stall at Circuit Road Market and Food Centre for 11 months, as her father made her do so. ST PHOTO: NG SOR LUAN Noting that the girl is fine, Ms Tin said: “Nobody expected something like this to happen. So, I would like to make a call to everyone – if you suspect something is not quite right, or is not the norm, please let us know. “Yes, there may be false alarms, but please inform the authorities so they can do their checks and ensure that everything is fine.”

i pay more tax then my usage WTF

https://www.gizmochina.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/mVqgB77Slx08ejAcQLk40104120187BM0E010.mp4 AI has become a defining feature of smartphones in 2024, particularly in the field of photography. From image generation to object removal, AI is changing the way we capture and edit photos. Huawei‘s latest Pura 70 series also features an object removal function powered by AI. But it has come under fire as the feature can inadvertently erase parts of people’s clothing. Disgruntled users on Weibo, a popular Chinese social media platform, have been posting videos highlighting this concerning issue. The videos show how effortless it is to remove clothing with a single tap using the phone’s “smart AI retouching” feature. The problematic nature of this feature is pretty evident — anyone can easily alter an image to expose parts of a person’s body without their consent. it raises serious privacy concerns and could lead to the misuse and sharing of inappropriate content. Huawei customer service has acknowledged the problem, attributing it to loopholes within the AI algorithm. They have assured users that these issues will be addressed in upcoming system updates. While this is a step in the right direction, Huawei must quickly fix the issue. The ability to alter photos in such a way brings up ethical questions and shows how AI technology can be misused. This incident is a reminder of the importance of responsible AI development and implementation. AI features, especially those involving image manipulation, require careful testing and safeguards to prevent unintended consequences and potential privacy violations.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has been ordered to pay two of its passengers 200,000 rupees (S$3,300) plus other costs after they filed a complaint concerning recliner seats on a flight from Hyderabad to Singapore. Mr Ravi Gupta, the director-general of police in India’s Telengana state, was travelling with his wife on May 23, 2023, in business class, but found that their seats could not recline electronically. Mr Gupta said the malfunction caused them inconvenience, and he had to stay awake throughout the almost four-hour flight despite paying 133,500 rupees in total for the plane tickets. He made a complaint to the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission-III in Hyderabad, which ordered SIA to return 97,500 rupees to the couple, along with an interest charge of 12 per cent from the date of complaint. Additionally, the airline would also have to bear the cost of 100,000 rupees for the duo’s “mental agony and physical suffering”, along with paying 10,000 rupees to cover the cost for the complaint. The total sum amounts to around $3,580. The airline had offered the couple 10,000 KrisFlyer miles each, but they declined the offer. They had purchased Business Z class seats. The Z class fare is flexible and refundable. The seats in business class are supposed to be able to recline automatically via electronic buttons. In their complaint, the couple claimed that they felt as if they were economy class passengers, except they had extra leg room, reported the Deccan Chronicle. In a statement to The Straits Times, SIA acknowledged the decision of the commission. “SIA can confirm that while the automatic recline function on Mr and Mrs Gupta’s seats was faulty, the manual recline function was working. We apologise to Mr and Mrs Gupta for the inconvenience caused by this mechanical issue,” said the airline. “As it was a full flight, SIA staff unfortunately could not reseat them elsewhere in the business class cabin. During the flight, our crew proactively checked in on these customers regularly and offered to manually recline the seat when needed,” added SIA. The airline did not answer queries on whether it would pay the couple as ordered or appeal against the decision. Meanwhile, Indigo Airlines was ordered to pay a passenger 30,000 rupees for not informing him earlier of his flight cancellation. The man’s flight was scheduled for 10.05am, while the airline sent the message at 4.31am the same day, reported The New Indian Express. He saw the message only at 8am, while he was on his way to the airport. The airline said that the flight cancellation was due to “operational constraints that were beyond their control”, but was not able to produce evidence of this later on. Correction note: In an earlier version of the story, it was reported that Mr Ravi Gupta and his wife were travelling from Hyderabad to Australia and took a 14-hour flight. Singapore Airlines has since clarified that the flight was from Hyderabad to Singapore and took four hours instead. We also previously said that Z class fares are non-refundable. This is incorrect. They are flexible and refundable. We are sorry for the error.

The diamond mining giant is moving its auction business headquarters to Botswana. SINGAPORE: Diamond mining giant De Beers will be closing its office in Singapore as it relocates its auction business headquarters. The company, which has offices in 11 markets, said in response to CNA's query on Friday (Apr 26) that it has decided to move its auction business headquarters to Botswana. This will bring De Beers' global rough diamond trading activities “under one roof” as most of its rough diamond sale activities are already established in Gaborone, Botswana's capital, it said. “The relocation, which will take place over the coming months, supports De Beers’ focus on streamlining its operations and enhancing the efficiency of its activities, while also facilitating further development of the diamond sector in Botswana,” the company told CNA. The move will entail the closure of the De Beers Singapore office, it said, adding that it is currently in the process of engaging with employees whose roles are expected to be impacted by the relocation. When asked, De Beers did not tell CNA how many employees would be affected by the move. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/sin...ngaging-employees-relocating-botswana-4295011

SINGAPORE - The mandatory tray return policy at food outlets has catalysed changes in social norms, ever since it was implemented in 2021. But diners can be equipped to go one step further and clean their tables after use, said the researchers behind a public cleanliness survey. More than 80 per cent of Singaporeans in 2023 indicated they were willing to go the extra mile to clean up spills or wipe down their tables after eating at food outlets like hawker centres or coffee shops because they feel that it is the socially responsible thing to do. Among those who did not clean up after themselves, 54 per cent of respondents said it was because they did not have the proper equipment to do so. These findings, released on April 26, were from the Public Cleanliness Satisfaction Survey 2023 conducted by the Singapore Management University (SMU). The survey, in its sixth edition, also reported that 94 per cent of respondents returned their trays and crockery all the time in 2023. Satisfaction with cleanliness of food outlets also jumped 2 percentage points to 85 per cent in 2023, compared with 2022. But cleanliness satisfaction rates at food outlets continued to be the lowest when compared with other domains like transportation, neighbourhoods, and commuter paths. Funded by the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE), the study surveyed 2,010 Singapore residents on their perceptions of cleanliness in the Republic from November 2023 to January 2024. Respondents rated their satisfaction with the cleanliness of 20 public spaces they frequented in their everyday lives, including food outlets like hawker centres or air-conditioned food courts, MRT and LRT stations, and places in the neighbourhood like HDB town centres and void decks. At a media briefing on April 26 to announced the survey results, the co-leads of the study said that food outlets could consider piloting the provision of clean tablecloths or paper tissues on dining tables for patrons to wipe down tables after their meals. “By doing so, Singaporeans will likely be more proactive and gradually feel that they should be more responsible in cleaning up their table litter, thereby instilling this good habit and ensuring cleanliness in public dining places. “Hopefully, over time, this habit will translate to other public places as well,” said the researchers, led by Professor of Sociology Paulin Tay Straughan from SMU and Dr Mathew Mathews, principal research fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies, National University of Singapore. The survey also highlighted the need for littering to be addressed. Only 72 per cent of the respondents disposed of their litter properly, compared with 76 per cent in 2022. For those who did not dispose their trash properly, 47 per cent of them said that it was because the trash bin or disposal area was full and there were no other bins.nearby Ninety-four per cent of respondents – an increase of 3 percentage points from 2022 – also expected that cleaners should clear trash throughout the day, so that bins would not overflow. But despite an increase in reliance on cleaning services, only 75 per cent of respondents agreed that more money should be spent on cleaning services, which was significantly down from 81 per cent who said the same in 2022. To reduce the need for more cleaning services and to save on costs, a stronger sense of responsibility for public cleanliness needs to be cultivated in Singapore residents, said the researchers. This can start with simple behavioural nudges. “For littering hotspots, a visual aid that instructs individuals on how to properly fold up bulky wastes before disposal could potentially prevent trash bins from overflowing frequently. “Providing a QR code that links to a feedback form at trash disposal areas could also encourage the public to provide timely feedback on the status of trash bins to cleaning companies,” said the researchers. Prof Straughan said: “If the whole community could step up to flesh out ideas, we could move a long way. My encouragement to Singaporeans is don’t wait for the next law to come out. This is our space, and we should take charge of it.” The study also recorded a substantial decrease in satisfaction levels for cleanliness at public events like the National Day Parade, concerts and sporting events in 2023 – 88 per cent of respondents were satisfied, down from 94 per cent in 2022. Researchers said the significant drop could be due to a larger scale of public events in 2023, leading to more noticeable littering, compared with 2021 and 2022, when various Covid-19 restrictions were in place. Dr Mathews said: “Public events draw people from different backgrounds, including those who may be newer to Singapore or just visiting. Not everybody might be familiar with our norms of public cleanliness, especially when our events are international as well. “What’s important is for those of us who recognise the value of public cleanliness and the norms that have been established here to be able to politely tell other people to clean up after themselves.” MSE has designated 2024 as the Year of Public Hygiene, with a suite of measures being implemented – from possibly publicising photos of litterbugs to improving the state of public toilets.

ATB is poison

SINGAPORE: A 16-year-old was among 67 suspected drug offenders arrested following recent raids by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB). The teen was the youngest nabbed following the operation from Apr 21 to Apr 26, covering areas such as Aljunied, Beach Road, Bukit Batok, Bukit Merah and Corporation Drive. The Singaporean girl is being investigated for suspected drug abuse, and investigations into the other suspects are ongoing. The authorities confiscated a total of about 572g of cannabis, 222g of heroin, 55g of Ice, 0.5g of ketamine, 19 Erimin-5 tablets, five ecstasy tablets, three bottles of liquid suspected to contain GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) and a bottle of methadone. The drugs seized have an estimated street value of about S$62,000 (US$45,600). WHOLE CANNABIS LEAF SEIZED CNB officers raided a residence near Bukit Batok West Avenue 4 on Apr 21 where they arrested a 50-year-old man for suspected drug trafficking. They recovered about 133g of cannabis, 10 Erimin-5 tablets, three ecstasy tablets, a small amount of Ice, various drug paraphernalia and S$9,081 in cash after searching the unit. The Singaporean man was then escorted to his rental car nearby where the authorities found about 33g of heroin and two Ecstasy tablets. Some of the cash seized during a raid on a residential unit near Bukit Batok West Avenue 4 on Apr 21, 2024.

(Photo: CNB) In another raid on Apr 23, a 46-year-old Singaporean man was arrested at a residence near Corporation Drive for suspected drug trafficking. A search of the premises found about 314g of cannabis, including a whole cannabis leaf, a small amount of Ice and various drug paraphernalia. "Possession of any part of the cannabis plant is an offence," said Deputy Director of Policy and Administration of CNB Sng Chern Hong. Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, "cannabis" means any part of a plant of the genus Cannabis, or any part of such plant, by whatever name it is called. "CNB would like to caution members of the public that they should not purchase and keep any such part or parts of cannabis plants as it will be an offence under the law," he added. Those found guilty of possessing cannabis where the quantity is less than 330g may be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years in jail, fined S$20,000, or both. Source: CNA/lh(zl)
