Lee Hsien Yang questions why parliamentary motion raised by Sylvia Lim is “NOT on agenda”

Lee Hsien Yang, brother of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong took to social media questioning why Workers’ Party (WP) MP Sylvia Lim’s motion to speak on the high-profile case involving former maid Parti Liyani was not chosen.

Sharing Progress Singapore Party (PSP) Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) Leong Mun Wai’s post on the issue, Mr Lee wrote on Wednesday (Oct 30): “Why is “Justice For All: Enhancing Equity in the Criminal Justice System” raised by Sylvia Lim NOT on agenda?”

Why is "Justice For All: Enhancing Equity in the Criminal Justice System" raised by Sylvia Lim NOT on agenda?

Posted by Lee Hsien Yang on Tuesday, September 29, 2020

Instead of Ms Lim, Nee Soon GRC MP Louis Ng will speak on the topic of protection against second-hand cigarette smoke in homes in his adjournment motion.

Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin said in a Facebook post on Tuesday that Ms Lim and Mr Ng were at Parliament to witness the balloting, which the latter won.

The other Adjournment motions filed for the October sitting were as follows:

Denise Phua – Towards full participation of persons with disabilities in Singapore society

Sylvia Lim – Justice for all: Enhancing equity in the criminal justice system

Carrie Tan – Increasing support for the sustenance of livelihoods amongst performing arts workers.

Wan Rizal – Eradicating mental health stigmatisation.

Louis Ng – Protection against secondhand smoke in our homes.

When more than one MP has submitted an adjournment motion, the MP who gets to speak at a sitting is decided by ballot.

Three other MPs had also submitted adjournment motions, which are meant to raise additional matters of public concern and is allotted to one MP for each Parliament sitting. The other three MPs are: Ms Denise Phua (Jalan Besar GRC), Ms Carrie Tan (Nee Soon GRC), and Dr Wan Rizal Wan Zakariah (Jalan Besar GRC). /TISG

Malaysia’s Lawyers for Liberty issues statement over “mischaracterisation” of lawsuit against K. Shanmugam

Malaysia’s Lawyers for Liberty issues statement over “mischaracterisation” of lawsuit against K. Shanmugam

Singapore—After the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a statement saying that a lawsuit filed by a Malaysian human rights group against K. Shanmugam, Singapore’s Minister for Law and Home Affairs, was thrown out by the High Court of Malaysia, the group also issued a statement decrying what it claimed to be a mischaracterisation of the proceedings.

Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) filed a suit against the Minister on January 24, 2020, after Mr Shanmugam issued a Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (Pofma) direction on January 22.

According to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), LFL published an article on its website that had “untrue, baseless and preposterous allegations about judicial executions conducted in Changi Prison,” and it therefore directed the rights group to place a correction notice at the top of the article.

The MHA said in a statement that “LFL’s legal action sought, inter alia, a declaration that the correction direction was null and void, and that the Act was unenforceable against them.”

The ministry added that on September 21, the High Court of Malaysia struck out the lawsuit filed by LFL, since the group did not serve court papers in the suit as well as discontinued applications to renew these papers.

LFL’s reason for not serving or renewing the applications for the papers were undisclosed, according to a report in thestraitstimes.com on October 1.

The MHA added, “LFL’s conduct in commencing its legal action, publicising the same, and then failing to prosecute the matter, leading to its striking out by the High Court of Malaysia, is consistent with how LFL has conducted itself so far.

LFL made sensational allegations against the Singapore Prison Service, and the treatment of prisoners, and promised to put forward evidence. But nothing was put forward to substantiate its wild and completely untrue allegations.”

On October 2 (Friday), the rights group released a statement in answer to the MHA issued by N Surendran, LFL’s Advisor.

After stating that the group’s legal action had been “in response to the issuance of a notice under the notorious POFMA Act by Singapore against LFL for exposing brutal execution methods in Changi prison,” LFL further called the statement from MHA as “ incorrect and irresponsible” claiming that the Ministry “intended to mis-characterise what happened in the KL High Court and mislead the public in both Singapore and Malaysia”

LFL clarified that the suit had “simply expired” because it had not been served upon Mr Shanmugam yet. Additionally, the group had actually been allowed by the High Court in Kuala Lumpur to re-file the civil suit “which shows that the suit was far from being ‘baseless’. We note that Singapore deliberately did not mention this important fact in their press statement,” LFL added.

The group further confirmed in its statement that it has re-filed the suit against Mr Shanmugam in the KL High Court.

LFL added, “We will be vigorously prosecuting this civil suit, which is intended to protect the freedom of expression of Malaysians against encroachment by a foreign country.”

As an added clarification, the group also claimed that Singapore’s Attorney-General had refused to accept service of the court papers “by letter of February 13, 2020.”

More details about the rights’ groups allegations may be found in its statement. —/TISG

342 workers placed in isolation after positive Covid-19 case in Tuas dormitory

Singapore — A total of 342 foreign workers who live in a block in Space@Tuas have been moved to a government quarantine facility following the detection of a new Covid-19 infection in the dormitory.

The Ministry of Manpower announced this on Thursday (Oct 1). The new case had been discovered on Monday during rostered routine testing.

According to the ministry’s preliminary assessment, “the physical segregation measures to prevent workers across two different blocks within the dormitory from intermixing could have been breached”, which means that some of the workers may have been mingling with others.

As a precautionary measure, a Stay Home Notice (SHN) was immediately issued to the workers residing in the two blocks to ensure there was no further spread of infection.

But, when the investigation concluded, “it was established that it was unlikely for workers from different blocks to have intermixed”, and therefore the SHN was lifted for the unaffected block.

The ministry announced, however, that safe living measures had not been strictly implemented in the block where the worker who tested positive lives. Due to this, 342 workers living in this block, who work for 27 different employers, have been deemed as at-risk for the infection and, therefore, put into 14 days of quarantine.

The ministry also made an appeal for compliance with strict safe living measures within the dormitories to dormitory operators, employers and workers, to limit and minimise the need for isolating workers, and so that entire blocks need not be given SHNs.

It stated: “All stakeholders must play their part:

    1. Dormitory operators must ensure that Safe Living measures remain effective.
    2. Workers must continue to strictly comply with Safe Living measures and remain within their respective residential zones.
    3. Employers should ensure that their workers adhere strictly to Safe Living measures in their dormitories and consistently undergo the RRT.”

All worker dormitories, including Space@Tuas, had been cleared of the infection last August, but infection clusters have shown up over the past weeks.

To date, Singapore has had a total of 57,896 Covid-19 cases, including the 10 new cases reported on (Friday (Oct 2). Of the new cases, one is a community case and five are imported cases “who had all been placed on Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore”, said the Ministry of Health. /TISG

Jollibee now serves Nasi Lemak Chickenjoy for $5

Singapore—Jollibee Singapore announced its newest offering on Thursday (Oct 1), the beloved Filipino fast-food chain’s own version of Nasi Lemak.

Earlier this week, Jollibee put out a teaser on its Facebook page, that said, “We’re bringing you something exciting this October 1! Can you guess what it is?” along with a photo of a bowl of rice, half a hardboiled egg, chilis and other food items.

We're bringing you something exciting this October 1! Can you guess what it is? 🙂

And sure enough, by Thursday morning, the chain announced, “Enjoy this new crispy & juicy tradition, Nasi Lemak Chickenjoy for only $5*! It is our bestseller Chickenjoy (Original or Spicy) with Sambal, Ikan Bilis and Coconut Rice, just the way you like it.”

The base price, as the advertisement says, is $5, but varies according to one’s order. For an additional $1, diners can get a drink to go with it.

Unfortunately at this point, Nasi Lemak Chickenjoy is only available at eight out of the 10 Jollibee outlets in Singapore.

Those who opt for deliveries may do so via Grab Food, FoodPanda and Deliveroo.

Nasi Lemak Chickenjoy has been made available in Jollibee outlets in other countries in the past—in Brunei and Malaysia, to be exact.

True Jollibee diehards can also avail of another promotion until November 24. Last week, the fast-food chain announced, “Get the Limited Edition Jollibee Barong Funko Pop when you buy 2pc Chickenjoy w/ Jolly Spaghetti Value Meal all for $25,” also only available in select outlets.

The Filipino fast-food chain has taken the world by storm, with over 1,200 outlets all over the globe, with 10 in Singapore alone.

The verdict? One patron said he had tried it in Brunei and the dish had been “so good,” adding that he was glad he can have the same treat in Singapore.

“It’s worth it,” another fan wrote.

Some lamented that the dish would not be available at their local outlets.

Others asked for it to be made available in the Philippines, Jollibee’s home country, as well.

Nolisoli, a Filipino website, wrote on October 1, “Aside from their beautiful architecture and aggressive COVID-19 response, we have another reason to be jealous of Singapore. But this one hits a little bit closer to home. Today, Jollibee Singapore announced a new variant of their signature chickenjoy meal inspired by the country’s local cuisine.”

Mentioning that Jollibee has chicken biryani in the UAE and chicken tender meals in the US, the site added, “Here’s hoping that Jollibee can bring some of those international dishes our way so we can have a taste of the outside world while in quarantine.” —/TISG

2 pedestrians crossing Paya Lebar Road hit by vehicle

Singapore—A video that was widely shared on social media on Thursday (Oct 1) showed two people crossing the street getting hit by a vehicle.

Luckily, the injuries sustained by the two at the junction of Paya Lebar and Geylang Road may not be overly serious.

One of the people involved in the accident was a 17-year-old female who was taken to Raffles Hospital. She was conscious when conveyed via ambulance to get medical treatment. The other person hit by the vehicle opted not to be hospitalized, although the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said this individual was assessed at the scene of the accident.

According to the police, they received an alert that an accident had occurred at around 3:20 pm on Oct 1 that involved two pedestrians and a vehicle.

In the video of the accident shared by the ROADS.sg Facebook page, which indicates that it happened past 3 in the afternoon, two people can be seen crossing the street at a pedestrian crossing. But before they can get to the other side, they are hit by an oncoming vehicle.

One of the pedestrians can be seen being flung into the air and hitting the roof of the vehicle.

After the impact, another pedestrians was seen getting up and walking toward his injured companion.

A police van and two ambulances were present at the scene of the accident. A number of paramedics attended to the young woman before she was brought to the hospital.

According to Channel NewsAsia (CNA) the police are currently investigating the incident.

The caption on the ROADS.sg video reads, “2 pedestrians cross during a red man, mistakingly thinking it’s a green man, then decide to run across halfway, both get hit by a taxi and sent flying across the junction.

Taxi driver should not have moved his vehicle as there were injured persons.

Wishing them speedy and full recoveries.

Happened at junction of Paya Labar Road and Geylang Road on 01/10/2020.”

Commenting on the incident on the ROADS.sg Facebook page, netizens sympathized with the hapless vehicle driver, who, after all, had the right of way, since he had the green light in his favour.

One commenter wrote, “On one side, I sympathize the two pedestrians who got knock down which I hope they don’t have any serious injuries from this incident. On the other hand I’m concern (sic) about the taxi driver because it’s an accident that can (sic) be prevented if the two had paid attention to the traffic light but he was unlucky in this incident.”

Agreeing with the commenter, another chimed in, “100 % Pedestrian’s fault, taxi driver no fault at all. Watch clip from the beginning, the couple were still strolling slowly when opposite cars/bike coming towards them.”

One netizen wrote, “I hope they will recover, including the taxi driver. Should not have happened had they exercised more care.”

Another surmised that the two pedestrians had been lucky that it was only a taxi that hit them, “If it was a heavy vehicle most probably both would’ve died from the impact. This accident has nothing to do with the driver, pedestrians is (sic) at fault for illegal crossing.” —/TISG

Post-GE Survey: “One-and-a-half party” system more likely in Singapore, says analyst

Post-GE Survey: “One-and-a-half party” system more likely in Singapore, says analyst

Singapore — Referring to the results of a post-election survey by the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS), an analyst has said that a likely scenario for Singapore’s political future is “the emergence of a one-and-a-half party system within the next decade or two”.

At an online forum on Thursday (Oct 1), Senior Research Fellow at the East Asian Institute Dr Lam Peng Er expressed doubts that a two-party system is likely to emerge in the country in the near future, according to channelnewsasia.com (CNA).

“There’s … speculation that General Election 2020 has given rise to an incipient two-party system in Singapore. I very much doubt it.

If you’re going to put a gun against my head and ask me to anticipate what is the likely party system in Singapore — it’s not going to be a PAP monopoly of all the seats in Parliament after the Barisan Sosialis walked out. I think (we are) more likely to see the emergence of a one-and-a-half party system within the next decade or two.”

Dr Lam, who studies politics in Japan, said Singapore could develop a system similar to that Japan had from 1955 to 1993, when the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) held power. At the same time, the Japan Socialist Party was the permanent opposition party.

Dr Lam added: ”If such a Japanese scenario would emerge, then it will be a Goldilocks outcome for the majority of voters,” referring to a situation that does not go to any extreme.

And for Singapore’s context, he explained, with the People’s Action Party (PAP) forming the Government, a check and balance system would be present in Parliament, and the country would experience political stability and predictability.

The panel discussion, moderated by IPS’ Dr Gillian Koh, included Dr Lam, independent scholar Dr Derek da Cunha; the director of the Asian Barometer Survey, Professor Chu Yun-han; and IPS postdoctoral fellow Dr Teo Kay Key.

The discussion may be viewed in full on the IPS YouTube channel here.

Commenting on Singapore’s political culture vis-a-vis what Asians desire from their governments, Prof Chu said: “Asian citizens expect democracy to deliver, they don’t conceive of democracy in the terms a typical political scientist would define it … their understanding of democracy is good governance, it’s clean politics, it’s efficiency.”

Dr Lam commented positively on WP chief Pritam Singh being officially named as Leader of the Opposition after the WP’s unprecedented wins in this year’s elections, noting that a sense of fairness was “very important”. /TISG

Myolie Wu’s husband detests how media suggests that she is the breadwinner of the family

Hong Kong actress Myolie Wu started seeing entrepreneur Philip Lee in 2014 and the news of their blossoming romance was in the headlines for weeks.

During that period, the media was not pleased with Mr Lee. Mr Lee was known to be a ladies man and the media thought that he was ‘not good enough’ for Ms Wu who was one of Hong Kong’s top actresses.

The couple then tied the knot in 2015 and they did not pay heed to any of the naysayers. However, the speculation took a toll on the couple’s relationship. Ms Wu got candid in an interview recently and the 40-year-old shared that the reports of her supporting Philip financially had affected him badly.

She said: “He was unhappy. I’m very thankful to him for being so understanding. At the time, it was an obstacle in our relationship. I was afraid of scaring him off.” She also admitted that there was no way for her to help him overcome this hurdle. Phillip eventually got over the negativity, gained confidence in his own abilities and learned not to take the criticism to heart.

The actress also shared about her dating history where she said she had been in a relationship where a third party had caused a feud. “I’d be lying if I said I haven’t [experienced this in the past],” she said. “Everyone is bound to have gone through this at least once while growing up. It was painful when it happened.”

She continued with a laugh, “These days, I wouldn’t have energy to deal with such things. Taking care of my children is tough enough as it is.”

Myolie Wu and her family. Picture: Instagram

Myolie and Phillip have two sons, Brendan, three, and Ryan, one.

Born on November 6 1980, Myolie Wu Hang-yee is a Hong Kong actress and singer. She was born in Hong Kong with Guangdong Taishan ancestry. Myolie is signed under the Hong Kong TVB television station and a singer under contracts with Neway Star.

In 2011, she won “Best Actress” for her role in Curse of the Royal Harem, a TVB grand production, “Most Favourite TV Female Character” for her role in Ghetto Justice and also won “Extraordinary Elegant Actress” at the TVB Anniversary Awards 2011, making her the first ever Triple TV Queen of the year. By the summer of 2015, Myolie left TVB to explore new avenues.

TikTok launches US election guide to battle misinformation

TikTok on Tuesday launched a US election guide as part of an effort to battle misinformation on the wildly popular video-sharing app that the White House has targeted for a ban.

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other internet platforms have all ramped up efforts to provide users reliable news and avoid being used to mislead voters during a contentious US election.

TikTok’s in-app guide provides links to voter registration pages and access to election information from sources such as the National Association of Secretaries of State and BallotReady, according to head of US public policy Michael Beckerman.

“Our goal is to keep TikTok a place where authentic content can thrive, and our elections guide reflects our ongoing efforts to protect the integrity of our platform and the US elections,” Beckerman said in a blog post.

The guide can be accessed from a Discover page in the TikTok app and will appear on election-related search results, according to Beckerman.

It will also be linked at the bottom of videos related to the election or on verified political accounts, he said.

“On TikTok we’re seeing how people, especially younger voters, are passionate about important issues and are ready to make their voices heard,” BallotReady chief executive Alex Niemczewski said in the release.

“Younger voters often do not realize everything that will appear on their ballot, and we believe that TikTok can help them vote their entire ballot.”

– Voting information -MediaWise at the Poynter Institute will post a series of videos on TikTok aimed at teaching first-time voters how to spot bogus information online, according to program manager Katy Byron.

“We are excited to partner with TikTok to help teach their community how to sort fact from fiction online,” Byron said.

The election guide makes its debut as TikTok battles to stop a ban ordered by US President Donald Trump. The company has challenged the ban in court as being capricious and politically motivated.

A US judge who stopped a ban on TikTok downloads from kicking in on Monday said that Trump likely overstepped the law with the attempted move.

District Judge Carl Nichols issued a temporary injunction at the request of TikTok, which the White House has called a national security threat stemming from its Chinese parent firm’s links to the Beijing government.

The government order sought to ban new downloads of the app from midnight on Sunday. A second phase of the ban aimed at stopping TikTok operations in the US is set to take effect on November 12.

Government lawyers have argued the president has a right to take national security actions, and said the ban was needed because of TikTok’s links to the Chinese government through its parent firm ByteDance.

Trump says he condemns ‘all white supremacists’

US President Donald Trump said Thursday evening that he condemned “all white supremacists” following uproar over his ambiguous comments during the first election debate against his Democratic opponent Joe Biden.

“I’ve said it many times, and let me be clear again, I condemn the KKK, I condemn all white supremacists, I condemn the Proud Boys,” Trump told Fox News.

“I don’t know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing, but I condemn that,” he said.

During Tuesday’s acrimonious showdown with Biden, debate moderator Chris Wallace called on Trump to explicitly condemn white supremacists.

Instead Trump gave a shout-out to the male-only Proud Boys militia group by saying they should “stand back and stand by,” and that the real problem is “far-left” extremists.

The Proud Boys themselves celebrated Trump’s comments.

“Standing down and standing by sir,” the group said in a social media posting.

Malaysian palm oil giant hit with US ban over abuse concerns

Malaysian palm oil giant hit with US ban over abuse concerns

The United States has banned imports from a Malaysian palm oil giant that supplies household titans like Procter & Gamble and Nestle over concerns its workers face physical and sexual violence and other abuses.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the ban on palm oil imports from FGV Holdings — one of Malaysia’s top producers — on Wednesday following a year-long probe that also found indications the firm was witholding wages and using child labor.

Palm oil is a common ingredient in items ranging from processed foods to cosmetics, with Malaysia and neighbouring Indonesia producing 85 percent of the world’s supply.

Activists claim the industry drives the destruction of rainforests to make way for plantations and that its low-paid foreign workers frequently face abuse.

“The use of forced labor in the production of such a ubiquitous product allows companies to profit from the abuse of vulnerable workers,” said CBP official Brenda Smith.

“These companies are creating unfair competition for legitimately sourced goods and exposing the public to products that fail to meet ethical standards.”

The American decision, which came into force Wednesday, means that all palm oil and palm oil products made by FGV and related companies are barred from US ports of entry.

The investigation was triggered after a coalition of NGOs filed a complaint against FGV.

The company said it was “disappointed” by the move when it had been “taking concrete steps” in recent years to improve standards at its operations.

“FGV does not tolerate any form of human rights infringements or criminal offence in its operations,” it said in a statement.

Steps include improving procedures in recruiting migrant workers, a commitment to paying foreign worker recruitment fees, and ramping up investment in improving their accommodation, it said.

Malaysian palm oil companies rely on low-paid foreign workers, including from Indonesia, India and Bangladesh, but critics complain they often have to pay hefty fees to secure jobs and are left saddled with debt.

SumOfUs, one of the rights groups that filed the complaint against FGV, hailed the move as “a strong reminder that no company, however big and powerful it may be, is above the law”.

The CBP is increasingly using its powers to ban goods from overseas it fears are produced using forced labor.

Last month, it blocked a range of Chinese products made in the Xinjiang region, including from a center that it branded a “concentration camp” for Uighurs and other Muslim minorities.
