MUMBAI, March 7 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The Lion City is clawing away at Russian President Vladimir Putin’s fallback options. A decision by Singapore to sanction certain Russia banks and transactions, despite no binding resolution from the U.N. Security Council, is a bold move for the typically neutral financial centre. It spotlights Moscow’s shrinking economic ground in Asia. The small city-state has little to lose as it stands up against what its foreign minister Vivian Balakrishnan calls “might is right” geopolitics. The direct financial relationship with Russia is tiny. Nor will siding with the West on Ukraine immediately irk China, Singapore’s top trading partner. President Xi Jinping is busy minimising the fallout read more from Putin’s actions, which Beijing refuses to condemn, on China’s Belt and Road infrastructure projects in eastern European countries. Yet the sanctions, targeting four Russian banks and including an export ban on electronics, computers and military items, is a blow to Moscow’s effort to turn its decade-long pivot to Asia into something that goes beyond just China. Since Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, bilateral trade with the People’s Republic has grown by more than 50%; last year’s figure hit a record $147 billion, per Chinese customs data. Notably, no other major Asian nation features in Russia’s top five trading partners. Moscow’s unease with its growing reliance on China is matched by persistent efforts to nurture relationships elsewhere. As recently as December, Russia was cheering progress towards a free trade agreement between Singapore and the Eurasian Economic Union. As a gateway to Southeast Asia, the city state was poised to serve as a valuable hub for Russian exports, including food grains. That’s likely to go on pause. Singapore joins Japan, South Korea and Taiwan to announce sanctions in the region. But even in Asian countries that haven’t taken sides read more , the rising influence of U.S.-led alliances like the Quad and the Indo-Pacific is curbing Russia’s market opportunity for non-energy exports. Take India, for example. Russian exporters have long supported its efforts to build nuclear power plants and a weapons arsenal. The United States, however, is increasingly cooperating with New Delhi in these areas too. As sanctions bite, Asia will not make for an easy Russian fallback. CONTEXT NEWS - Singapore on March 5 detailed sanctions that target four Russian banks and include an export ban on electronics, computers and military items. It also banned financial institutions in Singapore from providing any services that facilitate fundraising by the Russian government and banned digital payment token service providers from transactions that could help to circumvent the financial measures. - Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan, on first announcing sanctions action on Feb. 28, described Russia's invasion of Ukraine as unacceptable and a gross violation of international norms. “Instead of choosing sides, we uphold principles. Consequently, when we conduct our foreign policy in a consistent manner, we become reliable partners”, he said, adding that “a world order cannot exist where might is right”. https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/singapore-trims-vladimir-putins-fallback-options-2022-03-07/

i will dump rubbish into the bin without plastic bag

SINGAPORE - Consumers will from mid-2023 have to pay at least five cents for every disposable bag - regardless of material - they take at most supermarket outlets here, said Minister of Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu on Monday (March 7). "Charging per bag is equitable and effective," she said during the debate over her ministry's budget. Ms Fu added: "The more bags we take, the higher the amount we pay. Charging from the first bag would also encourage shoppers to bring their own bags from the outset." For a start, this charge will apply to supermarket chains with an annual turnover of more than $100 million. This means that shoppers will have to pay for disposable bags at around two-thirds of all supermarket outlets in Singapore, including those under FairPrice, Dairy Farm, Sheng Siong and Prime. Online retailers and convenience stores will be excluded from implementing this mandatory minimum charge for disposable bags of all materials. But Ms Fu said a disposable bag charge is not a ban on such bags, and would not remove the public's access to disposable bags. Instead, the charge aims to encourage the public to be more judicious with their use of disposables. Funds collected from the charge will be kept by the supermarkets, but information on the number of bags issued and proceeds received from the bag charge must be published to ensure accountability, Ms Fu said. For example, the disposable bag surcharge revenue from supermarket chain FairPrice, which has since November 2019 been charging shoppers who take such bags 20 cents a transaction, is channelled into green programmes such as the National Parks Board's OneMillionTrees movement. Ms Fu said: "We strongly encourage supermarket operators to channel the proceeds obtained from the bag charge to environmental or social causes, and consider initiatives to support lower-income families." The new minimum charge for plastic bags is the final outcome of 1½ years of extensive consultation with the industry and the public, where work groups were convened to draft guidelines and feedback on suggested guidelines were collected. One of the key surveys of this process found that a significant majority of Singaporeans were amenable to a plastic bag charge. In the National Environment Agency's survey of around 1,000 respondents in September last year, more than 80 per cent agreed that the excessive use of disposable bags has a negative impact on the environment and close to 90 per cent agreed that they had a part to play in reducing the use of disposable bags. In addition, more than 70 per cent agreed that a mandatory charge would reduce usage of such bags. Ms Fu added: "Over time, we hope that the charge will encourage Singaporeans to adopt sustainable habits and bring our own bags when shopping at supermarkets and other stores." Environmental groups have been calling for a charge on disposable bags for years. A 2018 study done by the non-profit Singapore Environment Council found that shoppers take 820 million disposable carrier bags from supermarkets a year, an average of 146 bags a person. These environmental groups therefore welcome this new minimum charge. Ms Aarti Giri, the founder of Plastic-Lite Singapore, said: "Charging for disposable carriers is a much awaited and much needed policy, and Singapore would finally be joining the bandwagon of countries that have done so in the past few years successfully, with encouraging results." Ms Aarti also said the requirement for supermarkets to declare the use of monies raised from the new minimum charge was "reassuring", and hopes that the proceeds would be "channelled back into efforts to protect nature, biodiversity and realising national and global environmental goals as well as other charitable and social causes". Besides praising the move, environmental groups, such as Zero Waste SG, recommended that further steps be taken to curb plastic consumption in Singapore. Ms Tan Huileng, associate director of Zero Waste SG, the environmental charity that released a plastic bag charge policy recommendation paper in 2016, said: "We hope that, apart from larger supermarkets, charges can be explored for online grocery shopping, as well as for smaller retailers." https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/budget-debate-shoppers-to-pay-at-least-5-cents-per-disposable-bag-at-most-supermarkets-from-mid-2023

SINGAPORE — Coffee shops and canteens will now have three options to implement vaccination-differentiated safe management measures (VDS), said Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Amy Khor on Sunday (6 March). From Sunday, such venues can implement VDS in three different ways to accommodate groups of up to five fully vaccinated persons to dine-in at their premises, without compromising the safety of diners, said Dr Khor in a Facebook post. Area Bound VDS: A specific area, alongside access control and vaccination checks, is cordoned off for five pax dine-in. Beyond this cordoned area, only two pax dine-in is allowed in areas with no vaccination checks by staff. Time Bound VDS: Five pax dine-in allowed at the entire premises from 5.00pm to 10.30pm daily, alongside access controls and vaccination status checks during this timing. Outside of this time period, only two pax dine-in is allowed. Area and Time Bound VDS: A specific area is cordoned off alongside access control and vaccination status checks from 5.00pm to 10.30pm daily. Beyond the cordoned area and timing, only two pax dine-in is allowed. Interested operators must submit a proposal for Singapore Food Agency (SFA)’s endorsement. Upon approval, operators are required to display signages and posters to clearly inform diners of the VDS requirements. The MOS noted that the move comes after several rounds of "active consultation" with coffee shop operators about manpower constraints and the operational challenges of implementing vaccination checks, given the porous nature and layout of coffee shops. Under prevailing COVID curbs, only fully vaccinated individuals may dine-in at all F&B outlets, including restaurants, hawker centres and coffee shops. According to Dr. Khor, 162 coffeeshops and canteens have successfully implemented vaccination checks since the rule was implemented last November. "This flexibility is welcomed by operators who may face difficulties in implementing 5 pax VDS dine-in for the entire coffeeshop," said Dr Khor. For instance, some operators noted that VDS checks are most critical during evening peak hours when more family members may dine-in and are also more likely to patronise stalls such as zi char and mookata. Last Friday, a planned streamlining of COVID rules by the multi-ministry task force on COVID-19 (MTF) was again postponed, with the Ministry of Health citing high daily local case numbers and the "significant pressure" that remains on healthcare workers. On Sunday, an additional 13,158 COVID cases were reported alongside five more deaths, taking the coronavirus death toll to 1,078. In January, Health Minister and MTF co-chair Ong Ye Kung said that Singapore's next steps beyond the current Omicron wave cannot be predicted as it is in the "fog of war".

SINGAPORE — A father of seven subjected five of his children to horrific abuse over a span of 14 years, even raping three of his daughters. The 45-year-old man also ill-treated his own blood by denying them food and assaulting them. He pleaded guilty to seven charges in the High Court on Monday (7 March), including aggravated rape, aggravated sexual assault by penetration, aggravated molest and ill-treating a child. All these charges were for offences committed against one daughter, who was around 10 when the offences began. She is now 16. Another 26 charges which will be taken into consideration for his sentencing are for offences against the other four children and the man’s wife, 41. These include instigating his wife to persuade their daughter to provide false information to the police to exculpate him from the sexual offences, and assaulting his wife. Sentencing has been adjourned to a later date. The man is a freelance camp instructor for children’s adventure camps. Of his seven children, a son, 23 and a daughter, 24, are from a previous marriage. He has five children with his current wife. These comprise four girls - including the daughter from the proceeded charges - who are aged from 12 to 19, and a 15-year-old boy. None of the parties can be named to protect the identities of the victims. Showed daughter pornography, raped her From 2008, the man lived with his wife and seven children at a flat in Ang Mo Kio before moving to a flat in the Canberra district in November 2017. The sexual abuse against the main victim occurred from 2016, when the girl was in Primary 5. He showed her a pornographic video depicting a man and a girl in sexual acts. He told her that the girl was also in Primary 5, while the man was her father. Between 2016 and 2018, the man sexually abused this daughter, usually at night when his wife was away at work. In 2017, he brought her to visit the Canberra flat, which was still under renovation, and asked her to shower with him. He then spread newspapers on the floor and sexually assaulted her, despite her pain. From 2018, the man threatened to pull her from school if she did not have sex with him everyday. This scared the girl, who thought that she would be abused by him more if she stayed at home. Despite her protests, the girl did not resist her father for fear of retaliation, and did not tell anyone about the acts as she feared that nobody would believe her, or that she would be sent away. The man also made her promise to keep mum. Conducted "body checks" on 3 teen daughters In 2018, the man also conducted “body checks” on this girl, then between 12 and 13, and her two sisters, then aged 14 to 16 years old. He engaged in a sexual act with the youngest girl, under the pretext of cleaning her genitals, before taking a photo of her genitals. He then showed each of the three girls the photo he took, and instructed them on “how to clean” up properly after their periods. He then deleted the photo in their presence. He repeated the same act that year, also ostensibly to teach the girls how to clean themselves properly. The man also sexually assaulted the main victim in the master bedroom toilet on the night of 16 November 2018. Her two older sisters then asked her what had happened, as they found it strange that she had showered in the master bedroom toilet. Breaking into tears, the girl confided in her siblings about the sexual abuse. One sister convinced the girl to lodge a police report and they decided to go to a police station far away, so that they would not be found by the man. They left after midnight on 17 November 2018 on the pretext of throwing rubbish but took a Grab car to Bedok where the victim lodged a police report. She was conveyed to hospital where she stayed for a week, before moving to a children’s home for two weeks. The man tried to find his two daughters at three different police stations after they left, but could not find them. On the morning of 17 November 2018, he surfed ten different websites on how to pass a lie detector test, including a wikiHow article on “4 Simple Ways to Cheat a Polygraph test (Lie Detector)” as well as another on “You can fool a lie detector test with just one simple movement - and get away with it”. The man was arrested on 1.40pm that day. He was assessed psychiatrically and found to be mentally sound and without sexual perversions. Denied 4 children food for 4 days On 1 September 2018, angry at two of his daughters for bringing their two younger siblings - including the main victim - to the playground before they finished their chores, the man denied the four children food for the next four days. He threw away all the food in the house and forbade his wife from cooking. He would bring the rest of the family not under punishment to dine out, while tying the large bottles of water in the refrigerator with rubber bands so that his children could not drink from them. He then cut the electricity to his house so that the children had to fan themselves with paper when it got warm. Over the next four days, the four children lived on tap water and food smuggled to them, such as packets of chicken rice from their mother, who also hid biscuits and potato chips in their letterbox. Once, the siblings’ elder half sister tried to smuggle food to them but her father found out and threw the food away. On 6 September, the father finally allowed the four children to eat plain rice as it was one of their birthdays. The four began eating normally the next day onwards. 'Chillingly brazen' acts The prosecution sought a jail term of 32 years and 24 strokes of the cane for the man. “The accused’s actions were also chillingly brazen; he abused each of his four daughters repeatedly, sometimes even when her siblings were right outside the room. Such was his faith in the power he wielded over them and she belief in his own impunity,” said Deputy Public Prosecutors Muhamad Imaduddien, Angela Ang and Sarah Siaw. Alluding to the three daughters who detailed their ordeals in victim impact statements, the prosecution said, “It would be clear that despite the cessation of the assaults since the accused’s arrest, all three victims continue to experience nightmares of their assault and cannot help but to distrust men in general. The loss of their innocence and childhood is one that can never be reversed.” They added, “It is difficult to imagine a worse perversion of the parent-child relationship than what happened in the accused’s family… Had he not been arrested, his fifth and youngest daughter - who was only nine years old at that time - may well have fallen victim too.” The man's pro bono lawyer Ng Pei Qi sought a sentence of between 26 and 28 years.

JuJu is the third dining experience opened by Charmaine Hui on 5 March 2022. Charmaine Hui, the 25-year-old daughter of celebrated HK actor Benz Hui, just launched her latest eatery— a cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style cafe) called Juju at Wheelock Place. Credit – Juju This being her third F&B venture, it seems Charmaine has a special knack for food joints. The first two were outlets for her cafe chain, Café Bakeaholic, which she opened to monetise her newly-found love for baking after the pandemic halted her grad school plans. Credit Charmaine seized the opportunity when a lot next to Bakeaholic at Wheelock Place opened up. Juju embodies your typical cha chaan teng.

The cause of death of an operationally ready national serviceman (NSman) who participated in a Health Promotion Board's (HPB) quick high intensity interval training (HIIT) session is coronary artery disease. In a joint news release on Monday (March 7), HPB and the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) said that the finding was determined by a post-mortem examination. More from AsiaOneRead the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. The 25-year-old NSman collapsed at West Coast Park on March 2. He was taken to National University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead nearly two hours later at 9.21pm. All HPB Quick HIIT sessions – part of the NS FIT programme – will remain suspended until further notice as a review of safety practices is ongoing, said HPB and Mindef. "Mindef, the Singapore Armed Forces and HPB continues to assist the family in their time of grief." NSman was attentive to health, would run regularly Family members of the NSman had reacted to his death with shock and puzzlement, reported Shin Min Daily News. They were also not aware that the Singapore permanent resident, who hailed from Malaysia, had been diagnosed with high cholesterol during his full-time National Service (NS) seven years ago. In an interview with the Chinese daily, the NSman's cousin-in-law said that the deceased was attentive to his health and would run regularly despite being a full-time truck driver. Adding that his relative had voluntarily participated in the HIIT session after work, the 30-year-old said: "We understand that [he] chose to participate in the programme. Exercise is not a bad thing, and we do not blame anyone." While revealing that the NSman had just gotten married a year ago, his cousin-in-law added that he was grateful towards the authorities and a bus company for making sure that the family would be able to travel from Johor to Singapore for his funeral.

SINGAPORE - The most popular grade of petrol has breached the $3 mark after a series of rapid rises accelerated by the Ukraine crisis. Shell raised its posted price of 95-octane fuel by eight cents to $3.06 per litre on Monday (March 7) morning, following at least three rounds of increases totalling 28 cents since three weeks ago. More from AsiaOneRead the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. The others are not far behind, with Caltex at $2.98, Esso and Sinopec at $2.95, and SPC at $2.81. With Brent crude inching towards US$130 (S$177) a barrel - the highest since before the last global financial meltdown in 2008 - observers reckon 95-octane across other brands will hit $3 before the end of the month, if not sooner. Currently, 92-octane fuel, which can be used by the majority of cars here, is the only petrol with posted prices of below $3. The lowest is $2.78 at SPC, followed by Esso at $2.91 and Caltex at $2.92. Shell and Sinopec do not offer 92-octane petrol. Meanwhile, the prices of the so-called premium grade are well above $3.50, with Shell's $3.77 inching towards $4. After discounts, the two Chinese companies - SPC and Sinopec - still offer the lowest prices. The 95 grade is $2.31 at Sinopec and $2.39 at SPC, followed by $2.42 at Esso (DBS Esso card) and $2.44 at Caltex (OCBC 365 card). The highest prices are at Shell, with the 95 grade ranging from $2.63 and $2.75. SPC offers the cheapest 92-octane petrol, at $2.36 across several cards, followed by Esso (at $2.39 with DBS Esso card) and Caltex (at $2.39 with OCBC 365 card). Commercial fleet owners and taxi drivers are not spared, with diesel pump prices having risen by more than 30 cents a litre in the last three weeks. The highest posted price is at Shell ($2.67) and the lowest at Esso and Sinopec ($2.55). After discounts, the priciest diesel is still at Shell ($2.40 with UOB One card), while SPC offers the lowest at $1.90. Cabbies filling up at kiosks owned by taxi operators have also seen pump prices climbing exponentially in recent months. At ComfortDelGro, the largest taxi company here, diesel is $1.43 (up from $1.12 in January) while 95-octane petrol is $2.04 - up from $1.74 in January. Oil prices have been defying gravity despite attempts to stabilise the market. On March 1, member states of the International Energy Agency - a Paris-based autonomous intergovernmental organisation - agreed to release 60 million barrels of oil from their emergency reserves "to send a unified and strong message to global oil markets that there will be no shortfall in supplies as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine". This translates to two million extra barrels a day for 30 days, or an increase of around 2 per cent. The IEA said this is the fourth coordinated drawdown since the organisation was formed in 1974. Member states hold emergency stockpiles of 1.5 billion barrels.

A viral video showing a severed leg found at Margaret Drive has been making rounds on social media recently. The 15-second clip shows the bloodied leg found among several large rubbish bins and discarded cardboard boxes. More from AsiaOneRead the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. In the video, a male voice can be heard saying, "A human foot, a human foot," as the camera pans to the severed leg on the floor. It generated mixed reactions from netizens, some of whom said that they were unable to eat after watching the video. Others wondered if the leg could be a prosthetic, Lianhe Zaobao reported. When contacted, the police told AsiaOne that they were alerted to a case of unnatural death at 12.35pm last Friday (March 4). They confirmed that the severed leg belonged to a 31-year-old man, who was found motionless and pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) paramedic. Based on preliminary investigations, the police said they do not suspect foul play. Police investigations are ongoing.

FT is always right

A viral video of a heated dispute between a dog owner and a Gojek driver surfaced on social media on Sunday (March 6), leaving netizens divided over which party was in the wrong. In the video uploaded by the driver, a dog owner and his friend had booked a Gojek ride with the intention of bringing their two pet dogs onboard. More from AsiaOneRead the condensed version of this story, and other top stories with NewsLite. However, the driver would have none of it. He argued that he was "not allowed to take pets" and later wrote on Facebook saying he was allergic to pet fur. "I will pick if you are two persons but you got two dogs. You see how big is the dog?" he questioned. To which the dog owner replied that it has "nothing to do with size, my dear". He claimed he had booked rides to travel with his pets "many times" and that he had left a message with this driver indicating he was bringing dogs. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=296702542401645 The driver said he didn't read the message as he was driving. The dog owner added that he has done his part and wasn't going to pay the extra $4 to cancel the ride, which is the fee incurred when a passenger cancels after the driver arrives at the pick-up location. He also accused the driver of "being very unreasonable". While many netizens supported the driver saying that he was just trying to earn a living, others blamed him for not reading the message. One netizen on online forum Hardware Zone added that the driver needs to be informed about pets and that "if (the) driver is not ok he should not take the booking". "It doesn't look like the dog ppl (people) were rude, more look like the driver was the more aggressive one," said this netizen. The netizen also wrote that in this case, the driver seems to have been informed about the dogs but he didn't read the message sent to him. The netizen did have a point, as Gojek Singapore’s website states that while it currently does not have a dedicated option for riders with pets, those travelling with their furry companions simply have to leave a message for the driver. If the driver cancels, the company will match them with another vehicle. Grab's service GrabPet allows customers to travel with pets and provides pet seat covers in the vehicles.

Anna, the director of the Russian Singapore Amateur Chekhov Theatre, has been based here for 14 years. Yet only in recent weeks she began experiencing anti-Russian sentiment for the first time. The 44-year-old mother of three said that she has seen people on her social media feed post offensive memes and hate speech about Russians, which has made her feel unwelcome here. These displays of hostility, as well as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, affected her so much that she cancelled three shows between March 3 and 5. “The performance was supposed to be a funny show featuring a comedian, but we decided to cancel because it is hard to smile now,” said Anna, who declined to provide her full name as she was worried about being a target of harassment. Like Anna, members of the Russian community in Singapore have seen varying degrees of hostility here, particularly online, since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion in Ukraine on Feb 24. There are about 4,000 Russians living in Singapore, said Mr Aleksandr Solovev, First Secretary of the Russian Embassy here. Some are bracing themselves for the worst as they hear reports of xenophobic behaviours towards Russians in other parts of the world. Mr Vadim Zoubovski, who runs a family-owned restaurant selling Russian and Ukrainian cuisine here, had also seen his business receiving online flak since the conflict escalated. The Singapore permanent resident, who still has family members in Ukraine, was prompted to put up a post on Facebook on March 1 to ask the public to be “kinder in their words and refrain from leaving further hate speech”. In the post, the restaurant, Dumplings.ru, also announced that it would donate 10 per cent of its proceeds from online orders to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. Mr Zoubovski, 51, said that since then, things have turned for the better, with his business seeing more orders. When TODAY visited the restaurant's main branch at Maxwell Chambers at 2pm on Sunday, the restaurant was full, with a handful of people seen waiting outside, half an hour before it was due to close. While he still sees a small number of negative comments on social media, Mr Zoubovski said he was thankful for the support he had received both in terms of patronage and encouraging words.
