SINGAPORE - Newly-arrived migrant workers in the construction, marine and process sectors will be able to serve the bulk of their stay-home notice (SHN) period in Quick Build Dormitories (QBDs), under a new onboarding process that will be piloted by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). From March 15, these work permit and S Pass holders will serve SHN for four days in hotels while waiting for the results of Covid-19 tests that they have to take upon arrival in Singapore, instead of 14 days in hotels currently. If they clear these tests, they will be sent to these QBDs - which have better living standards than existing dorms - to serve out the rest of their quarantine period, the MOM announced on Wednesday (March 3). The QBDs will serve as new Migrant Worker Onboarding Centres (MWOCs) under a pilot programme. These centres will allow workers to go through the mandatory orientation and Settling-In Programme (SIP) and their medical examination in one location, said Second Minister for Manpower Tan See Leng during the debate on his ministry's budget.

SINGAPORE - A criminal charge against lawyer M. Ravi for defaming Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam on Facebook has been withdrawn, after he took down the post and apologised. In a statement on Wednesday (March 3), the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) said it had decided to discontinue the criminal proceedings against Mr Ravi and administer a conditional warning to him. The decision was made after careful consideration of representations made by Mr Ravi's defence counsel, the statement said.

Mr Ravi was charged on Dec 16 last year with criminal defamation, an offence that carries a jail term of up to two years or a fine, or both.

SINGAPORE - The National Parks Board (NParks) carries out rigorous tree inspections every six to 24 months, with trees that are close to areas with high pedestrian or traffic activity receiving more frequent checks. The tree inspection regime follows the best management practices set by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), Minister for National Development Desmond Lee told Parliament on Wednesday (March 3). "During a tree inspection, NParks' inspectors conduct a comprehensive visual examination of the tree crown, branches, trunk and roots to assess the tree's health and stability," said the minister. "Trees that are found to have possible defects are subjected to an additional in-depth inspection, which involves the use of diagnostic equipment to assess the internal condition of the tree." Mr Lee added that since November 2016, such in-depth inspections are also conducted annually for trees of more than 4m in girth, as a precautionary measure in response to changing weather conditions. This goes beyond the ISA's prescribed best management practices, he noted. The minister was responding to questions by Ms Hany Soh (Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC) and Mr Shawn Huang (Jurong GRC)...

SINGAPORE (BLOOMBERG) - Sea Ltd expects e-commerce revenue to double in 2021, sustaining its torrid pace of growth as South-east Asia's most valuable company counts on regional online shopping demand to persist after the pandemic. Revenue rose to US$1.6 billion (S$2.12 billion) in the last three months of 2020 from US$777.2 million a year earlier, Singapore-based Sea said on Tuesday (March 2) in a statement. Net loss widened to US$523.6 million from US$283.8 million, as fourth-quarter sales and marketing expenses climbed 95 per cent to US$665.2 million, led by digital financial services.

NEW YORK (AFP) - Wall Street stocks fell on Tuesday (March 2), giving back a portion of the gains from the prior session's rally as investors girded for more volatility. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note continued to decline on Tuesday, but investors are grappling with the chance that inflation could rise if President Joe Biden's US$1.9 trillion (S$2.5 trillion) stimulus plan is passed. "The Fed still wants to continue this easy money policy," said JJ Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade, who said many investors fear inflation or view the economy as well on its way to recovery. "The policy makers and the market are having a little bit of a tug of war," Kinahan said. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.5 per cent to 31,391.52.
