“You seek the truth in an untruthful world… with patience in the most impatient of professions” Growing up, I was a big fan of Mr Ken Jalleh Jr. I loved reading his columns, and his sharp eye for visual storytelling played a big part in my daily purchase of The New Paper. When the opportunity came for me to pick his brain, as part of a campaign The Peak is running with Borneo Motors for the Toyota Harrier Hybrid, I jumped at it. Mr Jalleh is an editorial legend. He conceptualised and started a list of publications – TNP on Sunday, commuter paper Streats, socio-economic magazine Lexean – and played a pivotal role in launching The Singapore Monitor and The New Paper. But, as we drive towards Club Street in his Toyota Harrier Hybrid, Mr Jalleh tells me he would not have gone into journalism if given the chance to turn back time. Passion for the written word “Having spent six months in the US where I was attached to the LA Times, Detroit News and NY Daily News, I realised that journalism in Singapore is, and has to be, different. As a journalist here, you may live a rich life, but you will never be rich. You may think you are free, but you will never be rid of the monkey on your back,”...

SINGAPORE - Ride-hailing firm Grab will trial a new service for commuters in central Singapore to book rides only on hybrid or electric vehicles from next Wednesday (July 14) as part of its efforts to go green. Called JustGrab Green, the service will comprise electric or hybrid vehicles with at least an A2 Vehicular Emissions Scheme banding. These include the Hyundai Kona Electric, Toyota Prius and Kia Niro Hybrid. These vehicles emit less than 125g of carbon dioxide per km, a 55 per cent reduction compared with regular petrol vehicles, Grab said on Wednesday (July 7). The service, which will have the same price structure as Grab's regular JustGrab service, will first be made available to passengers booking rides from central areas. These areas include the Central Business District, Bukit Merah, Bukit Timah, Orchard, Bishan, Marine Parade and Geylang. Grab said it will expand the service to more locations progressively. From next Wednesday, Grab users will also be given the option to pay an additional 10 cents when booking a ride to contribute to carbon offset and solar power projects. Grab will match contributions made by commuters for the first three million rides. One of the pro...

Hybrid working: Why it isn’t ideal

elean 4 7 月

5 minutes

(REUTERS) - Hybrid working is often presented as a flexible compromise that secures the best advantages of office-based and remote work, but the reality is likely to be the worst of both worlds. Commercial real estate owners, with large investments in central city office buildings, as well as their bankers, have been the strongest promoters of the blended work model. For them, the advantages are obvious, since hybrid work would minimise the reduction in central office utilisation after the pandemic. For other employers and employees, as well as public transport operators and service businesses, hybrid work is likely to prove expensive and inefficient. Employers' expenditure on central office space will remain high while employees need larger and more expensive accommodation to work from home, much of which is used only some of the time. Travel costs and commuting times will remain high, borne by either employers or employees. Public transit operators will face a cut in the number of journeys, capacity utilisation and fare income, which will be challenging financially given their relatively high share of fixed costs. Centrally located service businesses depending on office workers w...
