  1. https://worldofbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/featured-image-ONE-kari-condom.jpg You know what they say… Once you go curry, you don’t have to worry! We Malaysians have always treasured our local delights in the form of food with our national icons being Nasi Lemak, Teh Tarik, Rendang and any form of curry taking centre stage in our hearts. Curry has always been a staple in our daily diets. The more banjir, the better, most Malaysians would agree. But it now seems that curry will also be a staple in one other place… the bedroom! ONE Condoms recently announced the release of their latest limited edition condom, ONE® Super Sensitive PERISA KARI! https://www.instagram.com/p/CSBICs_gMhM This is in line with the brand’s mission of championing more open conversations on sexual health and making people feel as comfortable talking about condoms as they would with food. The local condom brand had kept netizens guessing and invited users to take a guess on what the latest limited-edition flavour could be, via its social media channels. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CRq6nC6J9IK Besides their newest addition, the video also showcased previous limited-edition flavours consisting of nasi lemak, teh tarik, durian and rendang which the brand had released on a yearly basis. Netizens took to the comments section under the Instagram post to share their amusement as well as excitement to try the product. ONE also mentioned on their Instagram post that the Super Sensitive Perisa Kari condoms can be obtained for free with any purchase of ONE’s products from 1 till 31 of August on ONE’s official stores at Shopee & Lazada as well as in-stores at myNews, Watsons and Guardian.
  2. He thought he was dreaming when he heard frantic knocking and frenzied shouting outside his bedroom. "Sir, studio, fire! Fire!" screamed his domestic helper, who had got word from her friend who lives two blocks from the dance studio that caught fire last Wednesday. At first, Mr Allan Tan, owner of Dancesport De Allan located on the second storey at 70A Geylang Bahru, thought it was probably just a small fire as he rushed to the scene from his Bedok Reservoir home. But videos sent to him by nearby residents while he was en route indicated otherwise. "When I saw the videos, my mind just went blank," the veteran Latin dance instructor, who is in his early 60s, said in Mandarin. When he arrived at about 7am, firefighters were at the scene battling the blaze and he could only watch helplessly from a distance. The Singapore Civil Defence Force, which was alerted to the fire at about 6.35am, deployed about 40 firefighters and 11 emergency vehicles to fight the fire, which was put out in about an hour. Investigations are ongoing. Mr Tan and his coaching partner Alice Teo were still in disbelief when they met The New Paper last Friday outside the charred studio, which he was renting from the Housing Board. A place they have called their "second home" for the last 21 years is now reduced to ashes and "completely unrecognisable", said Mr Tan. "For the last few days, I woke up all ready to go to work. Then I realised the studio is no more." When asked what might have caused the fire at the 2,000 sq ft studio, Mr Tan said: "I have no idea. We left the studio at 9.30pm on Tuesday night and made sure that everything was switched off." The duo have been teaching Latin dance for 27 years and have competed together for more than 16 years. At the peak of their careers, they were one of the top professional Latin dance pairs in Singapore and were also well-known in South-east Asia. They also previously served in key positions in the Singapore Ballroom Dance Teachers' Association. Choking up, Ms Teo, who is in her early 50s, said: "When I saw what was left of our studio after the fire, I broke down immediately. "The trophies we have won from competitions, the photos with our students over the years - they are all gone overnight. All our years of hard work are gone with the fire." The incident was another hammer blow for the couple, whose business had already been badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. UNCERTAIN "Covid-19 made everything uncertain. We had to close, open, then close again. Our classes had to be downsized, and sometimes we could not even hold classes at all," lamented Ms Teo. Over the years, they have coached more than 10,000 dancing enthusiasts from as young as four years old to as old as 89. The pair were also the pioneer instructors at the Social and Ballroom Dance Club at the National University of Singapore in the 1990s. Since the fire, the duo have received countless messages of encouragement from their students, both past and present, which have helped to lift their spirits. "So many people have reached out to us. I see my students as my children and I feel very touched by their efforts to help us," said Ms Teo. One of their former students, Ms Yap Wei Ni, 37, has rallied other students to start a fund-raising campaign for the beleaguered couple. Ms Yap, a civil servant, told TNP: "Even though I was taught by them way back in 2005, we still keep in touch. In fact, I see them as my godparents, and I think many of their ex-students feel the same way. "We want to help them bounce back." Although they are under a cloud of uncertainty, Mr Tan and Ms Teo said they will not throw in the towel. "We will try to pull through this very difficult period and continue to pursue our passion in dancing," said Ms Teo. "We will continue to teach and organise competitions as we are one of the main championship organisers in the region. We just have to try." https://www.tnp.sg/news/singapore/pair-devastated-after-dance-studio-21-years-goes-flames-all-our-years-hard-work-are
  3. The U.S. has seized a Singapore-owned oil tanker that engaged in illicit ship-to-ship deliveries of petroleum products to North Korean vessels — a violation of U.S. and U.N. sanctions. According to a statement released by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday, a New York federal court issued a judgment of forfeiture and authorized U.S. ownership of the oil tanker M/T Courageous, which Cambodian authorities seized in March 2020 and have held there under a U.S. warrant since the following month. “Criminal charges of conspiracy to evade economic sanctions on the DPRK and money laundering conspiracy are pending against the alleged owner and operator of the Courageous, Kwek Kee Seng, a Singaporean national who remains at large,” the DOJ statement said. The statement said that Kwek Kee Seng and his co-conspirators laundered money and ran a scheme providing “a critical resource for the North Korean government and for DPRK-based companies” that ultimately aided North Korea’s nuclear program. Citing court documents, the statement also said the tanker “illicitly stopped transmitting information regarding its location” during a four-month period between Aug. and Dec. 2019. During that time, “satellite imagery shows that M/T Courageous both engaged in a ship-to-ship transfer of more than $1.5 million worth of oil to a North Korean ship, the Saebyol, which had been designated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and traveled to the North Korean port of Nampo,” according to the DOJ. The U.S. has yet to decide the fate of the M/T Courageous, which has a capacity of 2,734 tons, but U.S. authorities have signaled that they will continue to enforce all sanctions against North Korea and pursue those who violate sanctions. U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Assistant Director William F. Sweeney Jr. said in a press release in April that the seizure of the M/T Courageous “should serve as another signal” that “the FBI will not allow adversaries to evade sanctions designed to protect our nation.” In May 2019, the U.S. announced the seizure of the North Korean cargo ship Wise Honest for sanctions violations. The ship was reportedly sold in Sept. 2019 after the parents of Otto Warmbier and others filed a claim for the ship. https://www.nknews.org/2021/08/us-seizes-singaporean-oil-tanker-for-violating-north-korea-sanctions/

  6. SINGAPORE -A woman helped Nigerian scammers move more than $2 million out of Singapore, providing them with over 20 bank accounts to receive their criminal proceeds. Rohaiza Alap, 46, even recruited other people to act as money mules. She was jailed for seven years and four weeks on Monday (Aug 2). She had pleaded guilty last month to 15 charges, for offences committed between 2014 and 2017. These included eight of conspiring with others to provide bank accounts to receive criminal proceeds. Another 43 charges were taken into consideration by Senior District Judge Ong Hian Sun. In a joint statement on Monday, the police and the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) said Rohaiza's case involved a money-mule syndicate, with an organised and sophisticated network acting as a professional money-laundering group. The money came from various scams perpetrated by a group of Nigerians based in Malaysia, according to court documents. These included love scams in Singapore and business e-mail scams in other countries. Rohaiza began helping one of the scammers in September 2013, receiving scam proceeds through her bank accounts and later withdrawing the monies to pass to him. She had met him in January that year. She later assisted other scammers, some of whom she got to know through Facebook. The scammers would inform her in advance about the receipt of a sum of money. Once she received it in her bank account, she would withdraw the money and take a cut of it. Rohaiza would then hand the remaining sum to the scammers in Malaysia or to individuals in Singapore, on their instructions. Court documents state that she provided a total of 25 bank accounts to receive criminal proceeds, laundering over $1.35 million through them. Some of these accounts belonged to R & C Trading Enterprise, a business in which she was the sole proprietor. Court documents state that Rohaiza was investigated by the police in 2014 and had some of her other accounts seized. But she continued with her offences and even set up two more bank accounts. Rohaiza also recruited seven individuals for her operation. One of them, Rohaizad Mahat, was sentenced in December 2019 to seven months' jail for his involvement. The rest have not been dealt with yet. Rohaiza would coordinate with them to receive the scam proceeds in their bank accounts and to transfer the monies back to the scammers. Both she and these others who provided bank accounts would take a cut from the proceeds. Court documents state that some of the people she recruited would also use the bank accounts of their companies to receive the monies. In all, Rohaiza helped the scammers move over $2 million out of Singapore, said AGC and the police. About $124,000 of the scam proceeds were seized by the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) between Sept 25, 2014 and Nov 22, 2017. Court documents state that Rohaiza also sought to compromise police investigations by instructing another money mule, Aminorindah Haeruman, to lie to the CAD that the latter had no knowledge of the monies received in her bank accounts. On Monday, the court granted Rohaiza's request to defer her sentence to Sept 15, so that she can complete her Covid-19 vaccination and settle her business affairs. In their statement on Monday, the police and the AGC said scams perpetrated from overseas are of particular concern as "it is difficult and nearly impossible" to recover monies once they are transferred out of Singapore. This is further compounded when scams are enabled by individuals who allow their bank accounts to be used by scammers to receive monies, hide their tracks and launder the criminal proceeds, the agencies added. "We will continue to work together to deter offenders from using Singapore's financial system as a refuge or conduit for illicit funds," they said. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/woman-who-helped-scammers-move-2m-out-of-singapore-jailed-for-more-than-7
  7. SINGAPORE expects to receive delivery of the Novavax vaccine by the end of the year, said Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary in Parliament on Monday, adding that the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) will complete its evaluation of the Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccine before the end of August. The Ministry of Health and HSA are working closely with Novavax to facilitate the regulatory submission for the protein subunit vaccine noted Dr Janil, adding that the review timeline will depend on the availability and submission of data by the company to HSA. "While we recognise the need to facilitate timely access to the vaccine, there should be no compromise on the scientific rigour of the assessment of their quality, safety and efficacy," he said. Dr Janil also said that individuals who have received one dose of an mRNA Covid-19 vaccine but are unable to receive the second dose due to allergic reactions have been invited to take the Sinovac vaccine. The ministry has established a dedicated public health programme for them to be vaccinated at a clinic in public hospitals for closer monitoring, considering their previous allergic reaction, he said. Individuals who receive one dose of the mRNA vaccine and then complete the vaccination process with Sinovac will be considered as fully vaccinated. As at July 31, 61 per cent of the population has completed the full vaccination regimen. Almost eight in 10 (79 per cent) of seniors aged 70 and above have been vaccinated with at least one dose. Each day, about 1,000 seniors sign up for their first dose. On the flip side, more than 96,000 or 21 per cent of this group of seniors have not booked a vaccination appointment. This is six percentage points more than the general population. Dr Janil said continued efforts are underway to reach out to these seniors. Staff and volunteers from People's Association and Silver Generation Office have intensified their outreach efforts, through house visits and engagement dialogues. The mobile vaccination teams have also started to provide bed-bound and less mobile seniors with vaccinations in their homes or in the heartlands. This service has started in a few towns with a higher proportion of seniors, and complements the main vaccination efforts at the vaccination centres, all of which are wheelchair accessible. Finally, for short-term pass holders, Dr Janil said the government is reviewing how such pass holders, such as those who are more vulnerable and who may have been in Singapore on an extended basis due to Covid-19 travel restrictions, may receive vaccinations under the national vaccination programme. More details will be announced at a later date. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/singapore-to-receive-novavax-vaccine-by-end-2021-sinovac-vaccine-evaluation-to-be
  8. SINGAPORE - Keppel Corp is proposing to acquire Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) through a privatisation offer after the hiving off of SPH's media business. The offer, which values SPH at $3.4 billion, will see SPH delisted and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Keppel, the companies jointly announced on Monday (Aug 2). Keppel’s share of the deal is about $2.2 billion. Under the offer, SPH shareholders will receive 66.8 cents in cash per share, as well as 0.596 Keppel Reit units and 0.782 SPH Reit units per share. SPH, Keppel Corp and their subsidiaries SPH Reit and Keppel Reit called for trading halts before the stock market opened on Monday. The scheme is subject to approval by SPH and Keppel shareholders and is also subject to other conditions, including regulatory approvals. The privatisation offer through Keppel's wholly owned subsidiary Keppel Pegasus will also see Keppel holding a remaining 20 per cent stake each in SPH Reit and Keppel Reit. The offer is contingent on the successful completion of the media restructuring announced on May 6, which would see the transfer of SPH's media assets to a company limited by guarantee, a not-for-profit entity. The transfer of the media assets is subject to SPH shareholders' approval at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) expected to be convened this month or next. If approved at the EGM, the restructuring of the media business is expected to be completed by the end of the year. SPH's privatisation by Keppel is likely to be concluded soon after this. In a statement on Monday, SPH said that its board carried out a comprehensive review of the group's various strategic options, including maintaining the status quo, monetisation of certain assets, a partial sale or privatisation of SPH post-media restructuring. With an objective to maximise value and minimise disruption to shareholders, the board concluded that the privatisation of the entire company would be the preferred solution, it said. "It derives a better valuation outcome for all shareholders where a control premium is paid for the entire company. Also, it avoids a situation where prime SPH assets are cherry-picked, leaving SPH with its existing debt and the risk of being unable to monetise its remaining assets," SPH said. SPH said that the final closed bids for the company were evaluated based on price, terms and conditions, financing certainty, regulatory approvals, transaction structure and execution risks. The final proposal from Keppel to privatise SPH was selected based on the various criteria, it added. SPH produces news publications in Singapore's four official languages, including The Straits Times and Lianhe Zaobao. SPH Reit's portfolio includes shopping centres in Singapore such as Paragon and The Clementi Mall. SPH chief executive Ng Yat Chung noted that the privatisation offer from Keppel is the result of the strategic review process, the first step of which was the media business restructuring to ensure its sustainable future while removing its losses from SPH. "With the privatisation offer from Keppel, shareholders now have an opportunity to realise the value of their SPH shares at a premium of 39.9 per cent to the last traded price before the strategic review was announced," he said in a statement. The mooted consideration of $2.099 per share also represents an 11.6 per cent premium to SPH's last traded price of $1.88 per share on July 30. Credit Suisse (Singapore) and Allen & Gledhill LLP are acting as the exclusive financial adviser and legal adviser to SPH for the strategic review and proposed transaction.
  9. Teo Heng KTV Studio Bedok Point Outlet Closes, Fans Can Visit 4 Other Branches The Covid-19 pandemic has turned the lives of KTV lounge goers upside-down — not least if you secretly fancy yourself as a Mariah Carey or Jay Chou. Places like Teo Heng KTV have seen their primary business suffer, forcing them to pivot into spaces for studying or live streaming. However, as Bedok Point is set to be redeveloped, the Teo Heng KTV branch there will also close. Its last day of operations was Saturday (31 Jul), and owner Jackson Teo thanked everyone for their support all this time.

  11. KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysia’s embattled prime minister postponed a critical parliamentary session set for Monday, citing COVID-19 infections and allowing him to avoid a no-confidence vote amid growing calls for him to resign. A circular sent to lawmakers Saturday said the session will be held at a later date, after the Health Ministry deemed Parliament a high-risk venue. Eleven cases were detected Thursday among staff and others. Malaysia’s political crisis deepened when the king rebuked the government for misleading Parliament on the status of ordinances it issued during the coronavirus state of emergency. The opposition, which has filed a motion of no-confidence against Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, slammed the postponement as an excuse for him to stay in office. “Many parties feel it’s not because of COVID-19. This political crisis must be resolved immediately. This constitutional crisis must be addressed,” tweeted Ahmad Maslan, a lawmaker in the biggest party in Muhyiddin’s alliance that has backed calls for the premier to quit. There was no immediate comment from Muhyiddin’s office. This was not the first time Muhyiddin has suspended Parliament due to the virus. Parliament has been shut down for several months just after he took office in March 2020, and since January this year, after the king approved his plan for an emergency to tackle the pandemic. The state of emergency allowed him to rule by ordinance without legislative approval until Aug. 1, at a time when his razor-thin majority in Parliament is in jeopardy. Public anger against Muhyiddin has built up as cases jumped eightfold since January. New daily infections breached 10,000 on July 13 for the first time and have stayed there since, despite a virus emergency in January and a lockdown since June 1. Total deaths have risen to nearly 9,000. Nearly 20% of the population has been fully vaccinated. Hundreds of black-clad Malaysian youth earlier Saturday rallied in central Kuala Lumpur to demand Muhyiddin’s resignation and early resumption of regular Parliament sessions. Some carried mock corpses wrapped in white cloth to depict the growing virus death toll. Parliament reopened Monday for the first time this year after Muhyiddin caved to pressure from the king, but the five-day special sitting was only to brief lawmakers on the pandemic and debates were banned. King Sultan Abdullah Sultan Abdullah said on Thursday he did not give his consent to annul emergency ordinances but told the government to debate them in Parliament — which may lead to a vote that could test Muhyiddin’s majority. Muhyiddin said that the king has to act on the Cabinet’s advice and insisted his administration didn’t violate the constitution. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/malaysian-youths-demand-pm-quit-as-pandemic-worsens/2021/07/31/0d37d5da-f1db-11eb-81b2-9b7061a582d8_story.html
