Armed with deadly weapons and out to seek revenge, 10 gang members arrived at a rival gang member's flat. When they could not find him at home, the gang attacked his parents instead, which resulted in them suffering fractures. Seven of the gang members were eventually dealt with under the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act (CLTPA), which allows the Minister for Home Affairs to detain or place someone under police supervision for security reasons. Cases like these illustrate why the Act is still necessary, said Minister of State for the Ministry of Home Affairs Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim in Parliament on Wednesday (April 3), where the law was renewed for the 15th time for another five years. At first instance, individuals issued a detention order can be detained for up to 12 months, while those given a police supervision order are subjected to police supervision for up to three years. The Act is also invoked where prosecution is not possible, "because witnesses are unwilling to testify in court for fear of reprisal", said Faishal. From Oct 21, 2019 to Dec 31, 2023, 123 individuals were dealt with under the Act, he added. This comprised of 86 detention orders and 37 police supervision orders. Although the number of detention and supervision orders issued under the Act has declined, the figure remains "significant", rendering it still necessary and relevant to deal with secret societies and other criminal activities such unlicensed moneylending, Faishal told the House. He added that the Act had also been used to detain leaders and financiers of an unlicensed moneylending syndicate which was linked to more than 1,800 cases of harassment of debtors. "In Singapore, there are still active secret societies, although not in the numbers and scale in some other countries," he said. "Nevertheless, they are still a menace to law and order, public safety and security. They recruit young Singaporeans, and engage in illicit activities and violent conduct. That is why we must continue to clamp down on them." Safeguards to prevent abuse of power To ensure that these powers are exercised "carefully and sparingly", certain safeguards have been put in place. Firstly, the home affairs minister must obtain permission from the public prosecutor before giving a detention or supervision order. An independent advisory committee, chaired by a sitting Supreme Court judge, must also review every order. Another advisory committee will also review every detainee's case at least once a year and make a recommendation to the President on the person's suitability for release. Finally, a third advisory committee will review detention cases that are considered for extension beyond 10 years. Detainees are informed of the grounds for their detention and are allowed legal counsel. The committee's recommendations will then be submitted to the President, who can confirm, vary, or cancel the order on the Cabinet's advice. https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/law-allows-detention-without-trial-still-necessary-fight-gangs-organised-crime-mha

Just Walked Away Amazon is giving up with its unusual "Just Walk Out" technology, The Information reports, which allowed customers to simply put their shopping into their bags and leave the store without having to get in line at the checkout. The tech, which was only available at half of the e-commerce giant's Amazon Fresh stores, used a host of cameras and sensors to track what shoppers left the store with. But instead of closing the technological loop with pure automation and AI, the company also had to rely on an army of over 1,000 workers in India, who were acting as remote cashiers. In other words, Just Walk Out — a highly invasive marketing ploy to get more customers to shop at its stores while actively undercutting the local job market — will be missed by few. Dystopian Retail Instead of Just Walk Out, Amazon is now betting on scanners and screens embedded in the shopping cart called Dash Carts. The tech they're replacing, however, was far more ambitious. In 2018, Amazon started rolling out its Just Walk Out system, which was meant to revolutionize the retail experience with AI, worldwide. Several other companies, including Walmart, followed suit by announcing similar cashier-less stores. But over five years later, the system has seemingly become more of a burden. According to The Information, the tech was simply far too slow and too expensive to implement, with outsourced cashiers reportedly taking hours to send back data so customers could get their receipts. Apart from relying on cheap, outsourced labor instead of paying fair wages locally, critics have also long questioned Amazon's practice of collecting a horde of sensitive data, including customers' in-store behavior, turning a quick visit to the store into a privacy nightmare. Last year, the consumer advocacy group Surveillance Technology Oversight Project filed a class action lawsuit against Amazon, accusing the company of failing to inform customers that it was secretly selling data to Starbucks for profit. Despite its aggressive push into the retail market, Amazon's grocery store footprint in the US is still dwarfed by those of its competitors, including Walmart, Costco, and Kroger, as Gizmodo points out. Whether Dash Carts will turn out to be any less invasive from a data privacy standpoint remains to be seen. https://futurism.com/the-byte/amazon-abandons-ai-stores

Mcsalad and Long John Silver salad, without the sauces. Some of the Mos Burgers are ok, but need to add grass or fruits to balance.
