SINGAPORE - Security needs at schools will be balanced without losing the sense of safety, trust and homeliness of the school environment, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing on Tuesday (July 27). He noted that in enhancing security at schools, the Ministry of Education (MOE) does not want to compromise the quality of school experience for students and staff. The key to staying safe lies not in more intrusive security measures, but in prevention and enhanced community vigilance, Mr Chan said in a ministerial statement in Parliament addressing concerns following the River Valley High School incident. "We do not want to turn our schools into fortresses, which will create unease and stress among our staff and students. "We also do not wish to paradoxically engender a siege mentality among students and staff, causing them to take extreme measures to protect themselves, at the expense of a shared sense of security," added the minister. On July 19, a 16-year-old student allegedly killed a 13-year-old male schoolmate with an axe in a school toilet. Preliminary investigations showed the two students had not known each other before the incident and that the axe was purchased online. The ...

SINGAPORE, Jul 13, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - With the release of the United Nations (UN) 2021 State of Food Security & Nutrition in the World (SOFI) report, CropLife Asia highlighted the need for the region's food value chain stakeholders to work together in transforming our food systems to better enable food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all.The challenge of achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 of 'zero hunger' globally by 2030 has grown even more complicated with the broad impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this latest UN report, it is estimated that the number of people affected by hunger worldwide in 2020 was between 720 and 811 million people. This is a marked increase of over 100 million more people than in 2019. The prevalence of undernourishment (PoU) has also climbed up to around 9.9 percent in 2020 compared to 8.4 percent the previous year. This new report also confirms a sadly familiar refrain for Asia: our region is failing to deliver food security for far too many - particularly among the more vulnerable parts of society. Asia continues to be home to the greatest number of undernourished people wi...

SINGAPORE - Security officers here say it has become increasingly common for them to be subjected to some form of abuse, with the Covid-19 pandemic being blamed for increased tensions. A survey of 1,002 officers, conducted between September and November last year, found that two in five security officers were exposed to some form of abuse in their course of work. A previous survey of 707 officers released in June last year found that about one in three was abused on the job. Commenting on the results released on Thursday (March 25), Union of Security Employees (USE) executive secretary Steve Tan said that the officers were most commonly subjected to verbal abuse. This was in part because of the need for additional security checks in the light of safe measurement measures introduced amid the pandemic. "Visitors to various properties were asked to comply with safe management measures, and the person asking them to do it was the security officer," said Mr Tan. He added that officers were also under pressure from clients to ensure that the safe management rules were followed. "What is very clear is that Covid-19 has increased the tensions at the site," said Mr Tan. USE and the Singapor...
