Ice cream giant Unilever has admitted to using powdered milk in Magnum ice creams in China while using real milk in products sent to other markets such as Europe, after a month of intense online speculation. Xinhua reported sales of Magnums in China have been surging by more than 20 per cent annually for the past few years making the country the ice cream’s biggest market in the world. Unilever has been under fire for the last month after internet users revealed the company’s lower standards for Chinese consumers of Magnums, one of the most popular ice creams in China. “In the past, I liked to eat Magnum. After seeing this news, I feel speechless. I won’t buy it any more,” posted one outraged Magnum lover on Baidu. “I think this incident reminds us that in future, we should look at ice creams’ ingredients, rather than only focusing on flavours,” another user said on the website. The company uses a combination of milk powder and water in Magnums produced in China while using concentrated milk and water in its European product, Zeng Xiwen, global vice-president of Unilever said on a business news programme on CCTV on Thursday. Zeng said it was difficult to transport fresh milk from Europe to China, and said using domestically produced milk, there would be a “supply problem”, but did not elaborate as to whether this was because of the quality of local milk. “Magnum needs to be produced on a large scale in China. It also needs to be exported on a large scale from China,” Zeng said in the interview. “For instance, the Magnum sold in Singapore is produced in China.” In another interview with Xinhua earlier this month, Zeng said they do not use fresh milk when producing Magnums in China for a range of reasons including the stability of milk supply, quality control and export demands. “The large scale production and export of Magnum means we should select milk powders that are more stable and can support the large scale production,” Zeng said, adding that milk powders they use are imported from New Zealand or Europe. But Song Liang, an economist from the China State Farm Dairy Alliance, a grouping of leading domestic dairy producers, said cost is an “important” factor for Unilever to make the decision, CCTV reported. “To reach the same protein content level [in the final milk product], the cost for using milk powders is 8,000 to 10,000 yuan (US$1,230 to US$1,538) per tonne, much lower than the cost of using concentrated milk,” he said. However, Zeng rejected this claim. “From the cost perspective by considering multiple factors including transportation, using local-produced fresh milk is a better way to lower the cost. In other words, fresh milk does not completely equal high-end things,” Zeng told Xinhua. https://www.scmp.com/news/people-culture/trending-china/article/3145831/magnum-ice-creams-china-not-made-fresh-milk

A customer found himself the unwitting receiver of a slimy surprise when he ordered a drink from an outlet of Taiwanese chain Gong Cha Monday. In a Facebook post in the “Sha Tin Friends” group, a user said his son purchased a peppermint chocolate drink with tapioca pearls at a street level Gong Cha branch in Tai Wai’s Grandeur Garden Shopping Arcade. As he neared the bottom of his drink, he felt something strange in his month and instantly spit it out. The offending ingredient, it turned out, was a dead lizard. “[My son] immediately called me and I went with him to the shop… the boss said it’s not their problem!” The mother wrote. She said in a later comment that she reported the case to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD), who had come to collect the evidence. She attached a picture of a ziplock bag with the lizard and its severed tail. The FEHD said it has sent representatives to the Gong Cha outlet to access the hygiene situation there. Coconuts has reached out to Gong Cha for comment. “My son keeps saying he’ll never have this kind of drink again,” the mother wrote.

SINGAPORE - The police are investigating 45 people after conducting week-long raids on 42 massage parlours and nine unlicensed entertainment outlets. In a raid on an unlicensed KTV-concept outlet in Chang Charn Road, four women between the ages of 30 and 35 were arrested for working without valid work permits. Eleven persons on the premises are being investigated for alleged breaches of Covid-19 measures. A 40-year-old man has also been arrested for offences under the Public Entertainments Act and Liquor Control Act and for his suspected involvement in the management of this outlet. A total of 17 establishments are believed to have flouted rules under various Acts, such as the Massage Establishments Act and Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020. These include three outlets operating without a valid licence, and one that allegedly failed to ensure all of its customers wore a mask during the massage. Investigations against 29 individuals, comprising operators, masseuses and a customer, are ongoing. According to Section 5(4) of the Massage Establishments Act, those found carrying on a business of providing massage services in an establishment for massage without a valid licence shall be fined $10,000, or face imprisonment of up two years, or both. For repeat offenders, this offence can carry a fine of up to 20,000, or imprisonment of up to five years, or both. For non-compliance with safe distancing measures under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020, offenders can be jailed for up to six months, fined up to $10,000, or both. The offences of supplying liquor without a valid licence and providing public entertainment without a valid licence also carry a fine of up to $20,000 each. The police warn that they are "consistently taking enforcement action at massage establishments and illegal KTVs to suppress vice and other illegal activities". Their statement said: "The police have zero tolerance for irresponsible behaviour relating to the flouting of these measures and offenders will be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law."

SINGAPORE — Eateries that fail to check the vaccination status of their patrons before granting them entry could face fines or closure, or both, while patrons who falsely declare their vaccination status could be fined or jailed, or punished with both. Sounding this note of caution in a statement on Friday (Aug 20), the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) said that from this weekend, "strict enforcement" would be taken against operators and diners who flout infection-control measures that are based on vaccination status. Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, said that during checks on more than 700 outlets and 2,000 diners last weekend, enforcement officers had identified seven operators that failed to check their patrons’ vaccination status. Nine patrons were also found to have dined in before they were deemed fully vaccinated, that is, two weeks after receiving the second dose of a Covid-19 vaccine. MSE said that most of them had not waited two weeks for their vaccine to take effect. So far, operators and patrons found to have flouted the rules were given stern warnings. “As this was the first week of implementing the vaccination-differentiated safe-management measures, operators and patrons were given allowance to adjust to the new (rules) and stern warnings were issued,” the ministry said. None of the more than 2,000 patrons checked by enforcement officers had falsified their vaccination status. Right now, people who are not immunised may have their meals only at hawker centres and coffee shops alone or in groups of two, while fully vaccinated individuals may dine at eateries in groups of up to five. Since the rules kicked in, a few eateries have encountered unvaccinated customers who tried to gain entry to their outlets using a screenshot of someone else’s vaccination status, TODAY reported this week. Since last Tuesday, diners have had to show proof of their vaccination status through their TraceTogether or HealthHub mobile applications, or by scanning their TraceTogether token or showing their original vaccination card. INFECTION-CONTROL BREACHES Giving an update on its other enforcement efforts, MSE said that eight eateries were ordered to close for allowing liquor consumption after 10.30pm, breaking infection-control rules more than once, or committing other breaches. These include Aloha Poke Bistro and Arteastiq at the Jewel Changi Airport retail and leisure complex. Both eateries failed, on many occasions, to ensure that groups of customers were kept at least 1m apart. They were ordered to shut for 10 days from last Saturday. HOM, a food-and-beverage outlet at Ming Arcade near the Orchard Road shopping precinct, was told to close for 20 days from last Saturday for allowing singing and liquor consumption after 10.30pm. It also failed to minimise interaction between staff members and customers. The other outlets that were hit with closures are: Ahtti at Vision Exchange in Jurong East Dapur Penyet at City Plaza in Geylang Koufu at Yew Tee Point in Chua Chu Kang Taste Food City at Peninsula Shopping Complex on Coleman Street Umami Cafe at Concorde Hotel and Shopping Mall on Orchard Road Another 22 premises were fined between S$1,000 and S$4,000 each for breaching Covid-19 rules, such as failing to ensure that seated customers were kept at least 1m apart. These include Ya Kun Kaya Toast’s outlets at Marina Square shopping centre and Lot One Shoppers’ Mall as well as Starbucks cafe in Westgate mall. Fifty-nine individuals were also handed fines of between S$300 and S$1,000 for gathering in groups larger than those permitted while dining at eateries, or failing to wear a mask when they were not eating or drinking.

SINGAPORE - The national water agency PUB is investigating if construction works were to blame for the flood at the Pasir Ris-Tampines junction on Friday morning (Aug 20). In a statement on Facebook, it said its Quick Response Team was immediately deployed when flooding was reported at the junction of Tampines Avenue 10 and Pasir Ris Drive 12 towards the Tampines Expressway entrance at about 8am. "PUB is investigating the cause of the flood at the Pasir Ris-Tampines junction to ascertain if there are any construction works in the vicinity that had tampered with drains or obstructed the drainage flow of stormwater, as this is not a low-lying area or a flood hot spot," it said. The flood subsided by around 9.40am. Several of those affected by the flood told The Straits Times that they heard from the authorities that a drain was blocked. It is believed that a roadside drain is of key interest in ongoing investigations. Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean posted on Facebook that both PUB and the Land Transport Authority (LTA) are investigating the cause of the rapid rise in water levels and the flood. He urged drivers to drive carefully if they are passing the area, as there may be ongoing works. PUB said that in the event of a flood, motorists are advised not to drive into the flooded areas. If flood water rises around the car and stalls it, motorists should leave their car and move to higher ground if they can do so safely.

Known colloquially as the Little Red Dot, Singapore is well and truly punching above its weight when it comes to Australian real estate. In the two years to July 2020, Singaporean investors bought up $19.3 billion worth of Australian property, according to the latest Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) data. To put that in perspective, Singaporeans spent $6.1 billion more over that period than China, despite its economy being around 44 times smaller. It comes as Chinese investment actually declines, according to Georg Chmiel, co-founder and chair of Asian real estate platform Juwai IQI. “Singaporean real estate investment has climbed significantly, while China’s has fallen,” he told Business Insider Australia. “Most big Chinese corporate investors have pulled back from Australia, while those from Singapore have doubled down on the lucky country.” It sees Singapore make up 17 cents of every foreign dollar spent on local property versus just 13 cents from China. In fact, the country of just 5.7 million people spent more on local real estate than any other country with the exception of the United States. Having almost doubled in the last three years, the capital flowing into Australia has largely been spearheaded by institutional investors funding large-scale projects. “Singaporean real estate investment is being led by large investors such as the city-state’s sovereign wealth fund, GIC, but individual home buyers are also active in Aussie home markets,” Chmiel said. “Singaporean developers are also helping bring their buyers from the Lion City to Australia. One example is luxury boutique developer Jean Yip Holdings. Their Perth project, Elements at Carousel, quickly sold out, and 60% of the units were purchased by buyers from Singapore.” Within short flying distance to Perth and other capital cities, Chmiel said Australia remains a “natural destination” for Singaporeans, with property investment likely to only rise further as travel begins to reopen. At the same time, the reprioritisation of foreign investor visas by the Morrison government may encourage further home buying. Yet Singapore’s interests go far beyond shop fronts and development sites. Across all industries, Singapore now represents the third-biggest source of foreign investment for Australia, trailing only the U.S. and Japan. Again, it leads far larger countries like Canada, the United Kingdom and China on that front, with major spending on agriculture, fishing and forestry, as well as the finance and insurance sector. It marks an interesting recent change as China trends down from its historical highs. Zooming out to the last 10 years, China remains by far the largest investor in Australia, having spent round $126 billion since 2010. Singapore by comparison has spent around 44 cents on the dollar over the same period. As the trade relationship continues to languish, Chinese foreign investment may still have some way to fall yet. https://www.businessinsider.com.au/singapore-foreign-investment-australia-property-china
