SINGAPORE - Thirteen people were convicted for selling electronic vaporisers, or e-vaporisers, and their related components illegally online, said the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) on Wednesday (July 28). They were convicted in Court from March to June. A total of $164,500 in fines was handed out. Electronic vaporisers are battery-operated devices that deliver vaporised nicotine for users to inhale. They come in the form of e-cigarettes, e-pipes and e-cigars. Those convicted were between 20 and 40 years old. HSA noted that they had purchased the e-vaporisers and related components from overseas suppliers and sold them illegally on various local social media and e-commerce platforms. "HSA conducts active surveillance on these platforms and will take enforcement actions against those who buy or sell such products online," it said. More than $20,000 worth of e-vaporisers and related components have been seized. One of the offenders, Goh Yew Teck, 40, was fined $13,000 in May for offences relating to importing, advertising and offering to sell e-vaporisers, related parts, and e-liquids with nicotine. He was also selling unregistered medicine like cough syrup and sleeping pills, by bu...

SINGAPORE - An elderly recalcitrant offender, who has been in and out of jail since 2018 over multiple counts of molestation, is back behind bars for molesting two people, including an 11-year-old girl. Poh Seng Khian, 86, who is also hard of hearing, had been sentenced to 18 weeks' jail last year for a similar offence. He did not learn his lesson after his release and pleaded guilty on Wednesday (July 28) to two molestation charges. The Singaporean was then sentenced to 10 months' jail. Poh, who was unrepresented, had earlier pleaded for the court to sentence him to a fine, adding: "I'm old and about to die." He appeared in court on Wednesday in a wheelchair, but was not using one when he committed his latest offences. He was sitting in bus service number 30 on Oct 23 last year when he targeted a 27-year-old woman, who was standing beside him. Poh touched the victim's arm about five times and she shifted back slightly as she assumed that the touches were accidental. Deputy Public Prosecutor Lim Woon Yee said: "In total, the accused touched (the woman) on her left bicep repeatedly for about 15 seconds, before he slowly got up from his seat with the help of his walking aid.

SINGAPORE - The cluster of Covid-19 cases linked to KTV lounges involves fewer than 50 foreign hostesses with valid work passes, all of which were approved before last year, Manpower Minister Tan See Leng said on Tuesday (July 27). In a written answer to a parliamentary question filed by Mr Don Wee (Chua Chu Kang GRC), Dr Tan said these work pass holders had been allowed to perform non-hostessing jobs since October last year, after their employers temporarily pivoted to other allowed business activities such as food and beverage (F&B). "Nightlife establishments also hire work pass holders in other occupations, such as operations executives and waitresses. Even before Covid-19, they were not allowed to work as hostesses," Dr Tan said. Mr Wee had also asked for the number of hostesses linked to the cluster who were social visit pass holders, and what measures were being taken to minimise the health risks posed by such interactions. Dr Tan did not provide a figure for social visit pass holders, but he said foreigners with these passes working as hostesses are in breach of the Immigration Act. He added that the police and various government agencies have been taking enforcement action ...

SAO PAULO (REUTERS) - Brazilian payments firm Conductor has hired banks for an initial public offering in the United States that could come as early as this year, as Latin America's financial sector is enlivened by the arrival of several newcomers, three sources familiar with the matter said. Conductor, which is backed by venture capital firm Riverwood Capital and payments processor Visa, is a provider of technology for financial services. Its tools allow retailers, banks and financial startups to offer credit cards and payment wallets to their clients, for instance. Investment banking units of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Bank of America and Credit Suisse will manage the offering, the sources added. None of those banks immediately commented on the matter. The company also declined to comment. Should Conductor conclude a listing on a US exchange, it will follow in the footsteps of two other Brazilian payments companies, StoneCo and PagSeguro Digital. The sources did not say which US exchange Conductor was likely to pick for the listing, how much money it would seek to raise, or what valuation it hoped for.

BENGALURU (REUTERS) - Google parent Alphabet's quarterly revenue and profit surged to record highs, the company reported on Tuesday (July 27), powered by a rise in advertising spending as more consumers shopped online. Shares of Alphabet, the world's largest provider of search and video ads, rose 5 per cent in extended trading after the results, which handily beat analyst estimates. Shares of Facebook, which competes with Google in web ad sales and reports its own results on Wednesday, rose 1.3 per cent. Overall, it was a stellar day for the big US tech companies - Apple and Microsoft also reported record earnings. With consumers spending more time online during the coronavirus pandemic, retailers have been pushing to reach them there, whether they are shopping for products using Google search or watching videos on YouTube. The nascent US economic rebound that has accompanied the vaccine roll-out and the easing of restrictions is also helping as consumers are enjoying increased mobility and options for purchases of all kinds.

Apple quarterly profit nearly doubles but shares fall after iPhone chip supply warning

SAN FRANCISCO (REUTERS) - Apple said a global chip shortage that has bit into its ability to sell Macs and iPads will start to affect iPhone production and forecasted slowing revenue growth, sending its shares lower. The tech giant on Tuesday (July 27) also posted net profit in the just-ended quarter that nearly doubled to US$21.7 billion (S$29.5 billion) on growth in iPhone sales and digital services. Apple executives said revenue for the current fiscal fourth quarter will grow by double-digits but be below the 36.4 per cent growth rate in the just-ended third quarter. Growth will also slow in Apple's closely watched services business, they said. In a conference call with investors, Apple executives also said that the global chip shortage had a less severe impact than feared in the company's third quarter but will worsen in the fourth quarter, extending to iPhone production. Chief executive Tim Cook said the affected chips are made with older technology but are needed to make the company's flagship device. "We do have some shortages," Mr Cook said, "where the demand has been so great and so beyond our own expectation that it's difficult to get the entire set of parts within the le...

San Francisco, CA / SEAPRWire / July 27, 2021 /- Recently, Mute, a project building solution that make the defi space more accessible and useful to all, has launched a beta version of Mute Switch, their forthcoming DEX platform. While 2021 has thus far been a banner year for digital finance—and defi in particular—the ascension of this still-nascent sector and the enthusiasm engendered by the significant potential it possesses have not eliminated its flaws. For as long as crypto has been around, pricing and scalability issues, like the two ends of a single pincer, have kept it from realizing more fully the potential it has as a transformative financial instrument. A mere surface analysis of Ethereum's recent performance does much to demonstrate how problematic these issues are. While ETH experienced unprecedented growth as the underlying vehicle powering much of defi, the growth was not sustainable primarily due to scalability limits and correlated high gas fees—at times ranging into hundreds of dollars—hamstringing users and pricing others out of the market. The remedy to this has been sought by building a successive layer on top of the primary blockchain, or what is now considered...
