The Ministry of Health (MOH) has hit out at the allegations made by Mikhy K Farrera Brochez, the foreigner whom the Government has identified as the mastermind of the HIV Registry data leak, who declared his innocence on social media yesterday.
Last month, the Government said that the confidential records of 14,200 individuals diagnosed with HIV are in the illegal possession of Brochez, who was said to have accessed the HIV Registry and stolen the record through his partner, Singaporean doctor Ler Teck Siang.
Calling the allegations against him “blatantly false” and asserting that he did not steal the HIV database or leak it to the public, Brochez instead claimed yesterday that the database was stolen in 2012 by a man who had an affair with Ler Teck Siang.
He also alleged that he alerted MOH of the data theft in 2012-2013 but that the ministry sought to “cover-up” the leak. Brochez also claimed that he was given a list of HIV positive prisoners by a treating physician while he was imprisoned.
Adding that he was not HIV positive when he was imprisoned, Brochez claimed that he was infected with HIV when he was allegedly raped by other inmates while he was imprisoned.
MOH has since asserted that there is no truth to the new allegations made by Brochez. It said in a statement:
“Brochez continues to make allegations which are either false or unsubstantiated with any evidence.
“The matter has been thoroughly investigated by both the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Police. Brochez was convicted in Court for fraud and various drug offences. Should new evidence emerge, we will investigate accordingly.
“The Minister for Health had provided a Ministerial Statement in Parliament on 12 February 2019 giving a full account of the incident.
“We have explained the public health reasons for the HIV Registry. Brochez’s allegations that the HIV registry is used to target a group of men with specific sexual orientation is untrue. The fact that there is such a registry is public knowledge and statistics on HIV infection rates from the HIV Registry are published annually.
“We have indicated that Brochez may have possession of further information, and may reveal it in future. He has now threatened to do so, and MOH will work with the Police to take appropriate actions.
“Our priority remains the wellbeing of the affected individuals. We appeal to members of the public not to retain or share such information, as it could cause distress and anxiety amongst those affected. Please alert the Police should you come across such information.”
Local and international groups have called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to address the Canadian garbage that has been illegally shipped to the Philippines last 2013 to 2014 and has been sitting there for five years.
EcoWaste Coalition, a network of 140 public groups, last January 30 sent a letter addressed to Trudeau and Canadian Environment Minister Catherine McKenna as an appeal to resolve the issue regarding 103 shipping vans containing unusable garbage from Canada.
“The dumping of Canadian wastes in the Philippines is immoral and illegal. We respectfully request that the Canadian government provide a clear and definite date by which it will repatriate its garbage so that this protracted ordeal can finally be promptly ended,” said Aileen Lucero, national coordinator of EcoWaste Coalition in the Philippines, in the letter.
According to the letter, the garbage dumped were mostly “household trash, used adult diapers, and electronic waste,” rendering them unrecyclable. It continued that the dumping violated Philippine laws which state that “no importation of heterogenous and unsorted plastic materials shall be allowed” and “all plastics shall have no traces of toxic materials.”
International law was also violated in the process. The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal said that “the State of export shall ensure that the wastes in question are taken back by the exporter or the generator or, if necessary, by itself into the State of export.”
Last November 2017, Trudeau visited the Philippines during the 31st ASEAN summit, in which he said that Canada “is working hard to resolve the issue” and that it is “theoretically possible” to return the garbage to where it came from.
The letter claimed that “Canada’s claims do not match its actions.” It further said that “we find Canada’s illegal dumping of wastes in the Philippines to be especially ironic considering that Canada itself has served on the Basel Convention Implementation and Compliance Committee.”
The letter has been backed up by several other groups.
“Prime Minister Trudeau has promised that Canada will act in an environmentally responsible manner and fulfill its obligations under the Basel Convention, which forbids dumping wastes overseas. Words are not enough,” Kathleen Ruff said, director of RightOnCanada, a human rights group.
“Environmentalists in Canada and around the world are calling on PM Trudeau to take action now to end this shameful misconduct,” she continued.
According to the EcoWaste Coalition blog, another letter was sent to Trudeau last February 11. The signatories consist of “Canada’s Conservative Party, New Democratic Party, Bloc Québécois and Green Party, ten Canadian and international organizations, as well as a number of health and environmental experts.”
“We call on you to demonstrate commitment to the Basel Convention and fulfill the actions requested by the EcoWaste Coalition,” they collectively said in the letter.
As most traditional taxi operators are experiencing a decline in earnings during the ride-sharing era, ComfortDelGro, Singapore’s largest cab company, is doing all its efforts to stay on top of the game with its expanding operations abroad.
For 2019, ComfortDelGro has a bright outlook with the government initiatives to implement stiffer regulations for its new technology competitors.
Currently, the cab company holds 60% of the country’s taxi market, boosting its existing 12,000 units. In 2017, it noted that the firm achieved a 40% increase in net profits from October to December quarter at around S$83 million (US$61 million). This was its first year-on-year historical increase in seven quarters.
In 2018, the company’s full-year net profit increased to 0.6% or SG$303 million. The company reported the growth was brought mainly by new acquisitions.
Some of these included investing in 2018 for 13 businesses abroad, amounting to SG$439 million such as bus enterprises despite the gloomy local business climate.
In early January 2019, the situation became complicated when Go-Jek, an Indonesian ride-hailing firm, introduced similar services around the city. This added pressure to the existing competition with Grab, a local rival.
Despite more pressures coming in, ComfortDelGro shares were high this year. They increased by 10.7%, surpassing the Strait Times Index benchmark of 5.7% rise in its year-to-date.
ComfortDelGro is also enjoying its comfort zone before the government’s potential regulatory revisions. Recently, Singapore’s Land Transport Authority announced a new ruling that seeks ride-hailing operators to be licensed. Large firms will be under tighter scrutiny, based on a public consultation document.
The new regulations would be costly for ride-sharing operators that are deemed non-compliant to the government’s requirements.
In a recent report, CGS-CIMB analysts cited the new regulations would indirectly be advantageous to ComfortDelGro with its long adherence to the regulations and existing operations in the transport industry.
Ang Wei Neng, chief executive of ComfortDelGro’s taxi unit, in a recent results briefing, cited their total taxi counts declined in December with some of their drivers transferring to Go-Jek.
But he noted it posted a ‘not significant’ impact to its overall operations in the city.
Grab, which started in Malaysia, and the American Uber Technologies launched in Singapore’s the ride-sharing business in 2013.
This was when traditional taxis, such as ComfortDelGro, suffered a great slump with the new technology. Also, these companies provided drivers and passengers incentives when using their services. In March 2018, Grab bought Uber’s franchise.
Lim Jit Poh, ComfortDelGro chairman, noted amid all the issues at hand, the Singaporean taxi market has stabilised. He expects that the company’s revenues for 2019 will be the same as the previous year.
Several Singaporeans reported that they heard loud explosions and saw smoke coming from the Carlton Hotel at 76 Bras Basah Road, about an hour ago.
Several photos showing Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) at the scene have been circulating on social media. One eyewitness, Facebook user Ricardo Sentosa reported that he heard a “small explosion” around 1.20pm, before he heard a second explosion.
Ricardo also shared a video on social media showing smoke wafting out of a blackened back door at the hotel:
Two explosions at Carlton hotel, hope everyone is ok.Video captured from Venuerific office, based out of Odeon Towers.
The SCDF has since revealed that it responded to a fire at the hotel, around 1.15pm. The SCDF updated two hours later, at 3.15pm, that the fire was contained in a switch room and that 1,000 people were evacuated from the hotel as officer put out the flames with fire extinguishers. There were no reported injuries.

Meanwhile, some netizens have also reported power outages at offices and MRT stations in the Bugis Area. One netizen sent a picture to Channel NewsAsia, showing a blackout Chinatown MRT station:

Another individual, Ho Shao Dong, reported that it appeared as though the entire Bras Basah Complex building also experienced a blackout.
Confirming that electricity supply to some areas in central Singapore was disrupted, SP Group said: “Our officers were immediately deployed to the affected areas and our priority is to restore supply as safely and quickly as possible. Supply has been restored to most of these locations. We are investigating the cause of the incident.”
It is unclear whether the power outages are linked to the fire and explosions at the Carlton Hotel.

Despite Singapore being rated the most advanced digital economy in Asia and after establishing itself as a leading hub for innovation, the country continues to grapple with cyber security threats that have shattered its state-of-the-art digital infrastructure and its status as a ‘smart nation.’
SingHealth’s hacking led to the unauthorised access and copying of non-medical personal data of 1.5 million people including their national identification number, address, and date of birth. The breach also included the unlawful access of medical data from 160,000 out-patients. A few months after, the HIV data leak allegedly orchestrated by Mikhy Brochez surfaced. And while the Brochez mayhem continues to burn Singapore newspaper pages, the story on fraudulent credit card transactions amounting to over $96,000 became public.
All these developments impair Singapore’s thrust to becoming a center of technological advancement and Asia’s forerunner in combating cyber security-related threats.
David (Koh) vs. Goliath (cyber attacks)
David Koh, CEO of Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency, clearly emphasised that the government cannot deal with the cyber security needs of the nation on its own.
“Cybersecurity is a team sport… private sector organisations need to do their part and take proactive steps to protect their systems,” he said, adding that the private sector (as well as individuals) needs to complement the government’s efforts by reaching out and helping a wider group of end users.
Koh underscored the fact that Singapore as a commercial hub with high inter-connectivity, continues to be a prime target for cyber attacks. Going forward, cyber threats will only intensify and “we will have to keep improving our cyber security efforts to stay ahead of malicious actors.”
While the government is taking the lead in protecting Singapore’s cyberspace, it cannot do the job alone. “Combating cyber threats requires collective action by individuals, organisations and communities. We need everyone to play their part in keeping our cyberspace safe,” Koh added.
Government measures
“We need to invest in strong cyber defences, not just with new technology, but to also attract the right talent. The launching of the Cybersecurity Professional Scheme of Service and the scholarship schemes are some of the recent initiatives toward this end.
“While we do all these, the weakest link remains the human factor. The government also has in place employee awareness initiatives to ensure that public officers are kept abreast of cyber threats and the cyber security measures to take.”
Elaborating on the human factor being the weakest link, Koh observed that this explains why phishing has been such a popular and successful tool for hackers as users continue to click on random links and attachments.
“Findings from our surveys have shown that while the public are generally aware of cyber security threats, they do not take the necessary precautions. This could be due to complacency stemming from Singapore’s reputation as a safe country. Education is the key.”
CSA, together with its partners, have been working to raise cyber security awareness and adoption of cyber security measures by individuals and businesses. “This is done through campaigns and events such as conferences as well as the dissemination of timely alerts and advisories through CSA’s SingCERT.
“Our attackers are well-resourced and highly skilled; we cannot win if we don’t level up,” he added.
The fight against cyber security threats
This is not a pursuit that can be achieved by one man or by one government. An alliance between governments, businesses, the academe and individuals from numerous fronts is imperative to its accomplishment.
It is vital to put up not just strong defences for today’s cyber-threats, but also to broaden the infrastructure, capabilities, mindsets and friendships that will enable everyone, as an international community, deal with the cyber threats of tomorrow.
Based on a recent Qualtrics’ survey, most of the senior Singaporeans aged 55 and older are susceptible to experiencing the highest levels of stress, while the younger staff aged 35 to 44 can also experience work-related forms of stress.
The stress levels among the workforce within the 35-44 age group became apparent once they accepted or were given higher positions or more senior roles with bigger responsibilities, increased quotas, and management duties, according to the report.
The report called, “State of Play: Employee Experience in Singapore,” about 6,000 full-time workers globally were part of the survey, involving a significant Singaporean population.
As per the specific-industry analysis, amongst the most-stressed were retail workers, with public sector personnel coming second. The financial services and IT and technology sectors were at the median level of stress. The report cited the least stressed in the workforce were those in the healthcare and manufacturing sectors.
Looking at the overall scenario among the countries surveyed, Singapore showed the lowest job satisfaction levels where 24% of the participants cited they were either extremely or somewhat dissatisfied.
Also, Singaporean workers experienced the lowest work-related stress levels. About 22% of the staff noted they ‘always’ or ‘most of the time’ feel stressed or being overwhelmed by their assigned tasks.
On average, many countries have a global percentage of stress at 27%. The most stressful workers are found in countries such as Australia, the UK, and the US at 29%.
In another report, when asked what could possibly be the main reasons of increasing stress levels in the workplace, most Singaporean CFOs noted rising workloads (56%), higher business expectations (54%), tighter deadlines (40%) and a competitive business environment (38%).
Matthieu Imbert-Bouchard, Robert Half Singapore’s managing director, cited Singapore has global recognition for business excellence as most financial executives are moving in a highly competitive workplace.
He cited for senior executives working long hours, increased workloads, shortened deadlines, and high business expectations can be very stressful among the Singaporean workforce.
He added it is necessary that the city-state’s management recognise the increasing stress levels within their organisations and proactively address them to minimise their implication to the workers as a whole.
The managing director said stress drains not only the employee’s wellbeing but also the whole company. Workers, especially senior executives, who may be burned out or chronically frustrated and stressed, are more susceptible to getting an illness and potential absenteeism.
He stressed having obvious signs of dwindling morale can negatively affect business productivity and ultimately the company’s goals and objectives.
China continues to harass Filipino fisherfolk in Scarborough Shoal, said report by Admiral Philip S. Davidson, commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command in a statement released on February 12.
“Chinese Coast Guard vessels now fall under the command of the Central Military Commission and regularly harass and intimidate fishing vessels from our treaty ally, the Philippines, operating near Scarborough Reef, as well as the fishing fleets of other regional nations,” the report said.
Aside from that, Beijing has also “landed military transport aircraft on the Spratly Islands and long-range bombers on the Paracel Islands.”
The report elaborated how Beijing continues to disregard international law by maintaining territorial claims on South China Sea.
“Beijing ignored the 2016 ruling of an Arbitral Tribunal established under Annex VII of the Law of the Sea Convention, which concluded that China’s claims to historic rights, or other sovereign rights or jurisdiction, with respect to the maritime areas of the South China Sea encompassed by the “nine-dash line” are contrary to UNCLOS and without legal effect,” the report also said.
Davidson noted that “These actions run directly counter to President Xi’s 2015 commitment not to militarize these features.”
News reports from GMA News and The Philippine Daily Inquirer have offered a history of China’s attacks against Filipino fishermen.
According to these reports, a Chinese coast guard vessel was caught taking “best catch of Filipino fishermen in the area” last year.”
In another incident, China stopped a group of Filipinos from filming the Panatag Shoal.
According to GMA News, these incidents were dismissed by the Duterte administration in an effort to appease China as “a form of barter trade between the Filipinos and the Chinese.”
Inquirer reported that “China seized control of the shoal in 2012 after a tense standoff with the Philippine Navy, which later prompted the Philippines to file a case against China before the international arbitration court.”
Court ruling in 2016 said Scarborough Shoal should be shared by the countries that surround it.
Despite the verdict, China continues to seize the Philippine waters.
The company plans to launch in Taiwan, Australia and Indonesia plus two other unnamed countries
Circles.Life, the Singaporean mobile data plan operator, announced today it has raised US$50 million from Sequoia India to finance international expansion.
Circles.Life plans to open in five countries over the next 18 months, beginning with a launch in Taiwan in Q2. The plan is to launch in Australia the next quarter, according to Channel News Asia, Indonesia is also one of the five countries included in the launch.
The company plans to spend quite a bit as it pursues its international goals, expecting to, “invest more than $50 million in each launch.”
Furthermore, Circles.Life has dedicated US$25 million to its engineering center in Bangalore. It plans to use this money to use data science to improve its personalised offerings to customers.
In Singapore, Circles.Life operates by purchasing bandwidth from the local telco M1 and then selling it to customers at discounted prices (or giving a huge amount of data).
For example, just this week, the company pulled a clever marketing stunt by announcing it was killing its 20GB for US$20 plan at the end of February. Then, a day later, it announced that it was offering unlimited data for US$20 a month.
The company claims it has 5 per cent of the Singaporean market and calls itself Singapore’s fastest growing telco (although, technically, it is not a telco).
“Circles.Life was built on a mission to give power back to the customers. Because of this mission and our innovative digital platform, we have raised the bar in Singapore and telco space. The significant investment from a blue-chip venture capital firm is a testament to the impact we bring to the industry,” said Rameez Ansar the Co-founder and CEO of Circles.Life.
Considering its position in Singapore, Circles.Life is still very young, having been launched to the public in May, 2016. In the 2+ years of existence, it has grown into a very well-known brand in the Lion City.
“Circles.Life has a fresh and disruptive approach in reimagining what the telco experience of the future can be for millions of people,” said Mohit Bhatnagar, Managing Director at Sequoia Capital India Advisors.
Borrowing money sensibly requires you to balance borrowing enough to help your business soar with your ability to pay the money back.
By: Hitesh Khan/
As you know, a loan is based on a simple idea: someone gives you money and you promise to pay it back, usually with interest. Loans are so common that you probably are familiar with the mechanics, but nevertheless it makes sense to review the basics.
The success or failure of your business can hinge on borrowing money sensibly: you want to borrow enough that your company can reach its potential but not so much that you have severe difficulty paying it back.
Start on a shoestring. It can be a mistake to pour too much money into your business at the beginning. A fair number of small businesses fail in the first year, so raising and spending a pile of money for an untested business idea can lead to much grief — especially if you’re personally on the hook for borrowed funds. Consider starting as small and cheaply as possible.
You have many options when you are looking at borrowing money sensibly for your business. For small ventures, friends and family members are sometimes willing to help. For sophisticated or mid-sized businesses, banks, and financial institutions may be willing to lend you money.
While a friend or relative may be willing to lend you money on a handshake, this is a bad idea for both of you. It’s always a better business practice to put the loan in writing, and to state a specific interest rate and repayment plan. Otherwise, you open the door to unfortunate misunderstandings that can chill your relationship.

When borrowing money sensibly, you must be aware that some lenders will require you to put up a collateral which they can sell to collect their money if you don’t make your loan payments.
A lender may also require that someone cosign or guarantee the loan. That means the lender will have two people rather than one to collect from if you don’t make your payments. When asking friends or relatives to cosign or guarantee a promissory note, be sure they understand that they’re risking their personal assets if you don’t repay the loan.
If you have organised your business as a limited liability entity, such as a private limited company, the lender will probably ask you – the business owner – to personally guarantee the loan and/or pledge your personal assets to guarantee repayment.
This is because small businesses have high failure rates and lenders feel more comfortable if business owners have a personal stake in repaying the money. Before borrowing money sensibly, be aware that guaranteeing or personally cosigning your business’s loan circumvents your limited liability status. All of your separate property, and either half or all of any property you jointly own with a spouse, could eventually be seized if you default on the loan.
Finally, if you are married, the lender may insist that your spouse cosign the promissory note. If your spouse cosigns the loan, not only is your jointly owned property completely at risk for this joint debt, but also any assets that your spouse owns separately – a condo, for example, or a joint-bank account. What’s more, if your spouse has a job, his or her earnings will be subject to garnishment if the lender sues and gets a judgment against the two of you.
So there are many factors to consider when borrowing money sensibly. Especially if you do not want your personal loans to turn into a noose around your neck to strangle you sometime in the near future.
Licensed Money lenders are anther option for borrowing money sensibly, especially if you do not qualify for personal loans offered by banks. You should only borrow from moneylenders if you have the capability to repay the loan and should not drag out the repayment period.
Be careful to check if the money lender is a licensed money lender. Licensed Money lender have to work strictly within the rules and regulations set up by the Ministry of Law. They also cannot charge higher fees and/or interest rates than mandated. Borrowing money sensibly means you never respond to those sms about giving you a loan, as many such lenders are unlicensed loan sharks.
Businesses owners ought to remember that you need to borrow when you do not need money. When your business is struggling and you need additional funding to tide over a tough patch, then you will find that your access to funding is completely cut off and end up with very expensive funding.

Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) announced on Feb 2 that it has been appointed as the exclusive marketing agent for the sale of a JTC detached food factory at 2 Enterprise Road.
Located adjacent to the future Enterprise MRT Station (Jurong Region Line), the JTC detached food factory sits prominently on a regular land plot at the corner of Jalan Boon Lay and Enterprise Road. It is located within the JTC “Chin Bee” Food Zone surrounded by other key food suppliers/manufacturers such as Neo Garden, Khong Guan, GSK, Unilever, Olam and Meiji.
The JTC detached food factory is a single-storey industrial building with two levels of modern office.
Currently, the approved use for the JTC detached food factory includes warehousing and distribution of food and related products and meat processing. Facilities within the building include warehouse (aircon / non-aircon), production area, chiller rooms, freezer rooms and multiple loading bays.
It has a land area of approximately 16,234.2 sq m with gross floor area of approximately 14,084.7 sqm. The food factory has a JTC leasehold tenure of 60 years commencing from 16 December 1972 (balance of approximately 14 years). Under the Master Plan 2014, the site is zoned as “Business 2” with a plot ratio of 2.5.
Shaun Poh, Executive Director of Capital Markets at Cushman & Wakefield said, “A detached food factory within a mature food zone is rarely available in the market, especially for a land plot of this size. The future Enterprise MRT Station at the doorstep of the Property will make it even more appealing. We envisage that this sale opportunity is likely to attract strong interest from a diverse mix of users from the food and beverage industry.”
The JTC detached food factory is being put up for sale by private treaty at a guide price of $18 million, and will be delivered on a vacant possession basis.
In its 4th Quarter Industrial Snapshot, C&W noted that the manufacturing growth in Singapore is moderating.
It said:
“Singapore’s overall economic growth moderated to 2.2% y-o-y in 3Q2018, with growth in the manufacturing sector also slowing to 3.5% y-o-y. Future manufacturing growth will continue to ease as the November manufacturing PMI declined by 0.4 to 51.5, while the electronics PMI became contractionary after falling by 0.6 to 49.9.
Trade truce may boost market confidence
The temporary trade truce between US and China may boost market confidence, with hopes that a trade deal can be sealed in early-2019. In any case, Singapore may not be too negatively impacted if no deal is reached. A recent study by MTI found that the value added from US-China bilateral exports only comprised 1.29% of Singapore’s GDP in 2017.
Tapering of supply to support market in 2019
Industrial rents stagnated during 2018 due to the supply overhang from the preceding years. In 2019, the tapering of supply will lend support to the market and lead to marginal increases in rents despite the slowdown in manufacturing growth.
Factory rents could see an increase of 0.5%, while warehouse rents may rise by 1.0% as demand for warehouses has picked up due to rising competition in the e-commerce space. Meanwhile, business park demand will be sustained by cost-conscious companies who do not need to be in the CBD. Rents for business parks in the city fringe are projected to rise by 2.0%, while rents for business parks in outlying areas are expected to increase by a smaller 0.5%.”
The sale of the JTC detached food factory comes at a time when the industrial property market is steadily improving in health. This improvement in the industrial property market comes at the back of a strong pick-up in leasing transactions to a record high. This has likely been underpinned by the more upbeat business sentiment alongside the positive economic and manufacturing data, which has emboldened more tenants and industrialists to review their real estate options.
Leading real estate observers have said that they were optimistic that the industrial property market will likely bottom within the next 12 months, barring any unforeseen external shocks. They took into account the tapering pipeline supply that will allow demand to play catch up amid the positive economic outlook, barring any unforeseen external shocks.
