Chers compatriotes, Il est temps de prendre conscience d'une vérité essentielle : les bons parleurs ne sont pas toujours les bons faiseurs. L'éloquence et les promesses ne suffisent pas à construire un avenir meilleur pour notre pays. Ce dont nous avons besoin aujourd'hui, ce sont des hommes d'action, des personnes capables de transformer les paroles en actes concrets pour le bien-être du peuple gabonais. Prenons l'exemple des deux candidats en lice. Celui de la plateforme des (...) - LIBRE PROPOS / SUJET_ECRIT_MAISON

A former Kinderland pre-school teacher who was filmed manhandling several children at a Woodlands pre-school was convicted in court on Thursday (March 13). Singaporean Lin Min, 35, has been sentenced to 17 months' and two weeks jail, after previously pleading guilty to three charges of ill-treating a child. Three other charges were taken into consideration for sentencing. The case had made the news in August 2023 after clips of Lin forcefully feeding children liquids went viral online. One video also showed her striking a child's bottom with a book. The Mandarin teacher was subsequently fired and barred by the Early Childhood Development Agency from working in the pre-school sector.

When an explosion occurred at an HDB flat, teachers at a My First Skool branch in the same block quickly acted to ensure the children's safety, even carrying some kids away from that block, said a parent of one of the kids.  Hafizah Ali, 35, whose two-year-old son is in that pre-school, told AsiaOne that she received a call from his teacher at about 1.25pm on Wednesday (March 12) to inform her about a fire in the same block. The children had been evacuated to a Residents' Corner in the next building, and Hafizah's son was crying, the teacher said. «I hurried over and saw about five fire engines, ambulances and [a] police car already there,» said the home-based business owner.  Although her son had stopped crying by the time she reached him, he burst into tears once again upon seeing her, said Hafizah. «He hasn't started talking so I may not know exactly how he felt, but as his mom I know [when] he needs comfort,» she explained.

SINGAPORE — When Inspector Muhammad Rasidi Suriade of the Police Coast Guard (PCG) got a call on Feb 28 about a Singapore-registered chemical tanker being boarded illegally by unknown suspects, he rushed to the scene. He and his colleagues were on a PCG boat patrolling Singapore waters just five minutes away. The PCG boarded the tanker after it entered Singapore territorial waters. Insp Rasidi and five officers boarded the vessel at around 8.20am and saw a crew member lying on the ship's main deck, bleeding from his right eye. Seeing that his injuries were serious, Insp Rasidi told two of his officers to stay with the injured man, while the remaining four officers turned their attention to finding the suspects. Insp Rasidi was recounting the «unauthorised boarding» incident that happened in the Singapore Strait, outside Singapore territorial waters. The 29-year-old injured Indian national is in a stable condition and has been discharged from hospital.

The IA supports the above proposals with a qualitative assessment of legal, social and economic impacts, complemented by quantified estimates of costs and savings of procedural and administrative costs. Impacts on fundamental rights and digitalisation are also assessed, including concerns raised by stakeholders with respect to data protection. The IA follows a clear intervention logic and is based on solid internal and external sources and various stakeholder consultations. It clearly makes an effort to explain the methods and assumptions underlying the analysis, but could have been more coherent, clear and specific, notably when it comes to the transparency and accessibility of the cost estimates and aggregations. The range of options assessed in the IA appears limited, given the preferred option is a combination of two out of the three options considered in addition to the baseline scenario. Impacts on small and medium-sized enterprises and competitiveness are anticipated to be minor and were therefore not further assessed. The simplification and digitalisation of protection measures for vulnerable adults in cross-border situations are at the core of the IA, which expects considerable procedural cost savings for stakeholders, while adjustment costs would be borne by the competent administrations under the preferred option. The legislative proposals appear to follow the IA's preferred option. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
