Over 950,000 HDB households to get U-Save, S&CC rebates in April

SINGAPORE — More than 950,000 Singaporean households in Housing Board flats will receive U-Save and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in April, said the Ministry of Finance (MOF) on March 28. The rebates — the first quarterly disbursement in the 2024 financial year — are part of the permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme and the Assurance Package, which received a $1.9 billion boost in Budget 2024 to help people cope with an uncertain economic outlook. Disbursed in April, July, October, and January each year, the rebates aim to defray the hike in GST and provide cost-of-living support for lower- to middle-income households. Additional U-Save will be provided to help Singaporean HDB households cope with increases in their utility bills. In total, eligible households will receive 2.5 times the amount of regular U-Save, or up to $950, in the 2024 financial year. On average, this will cover about eight months of utility bills for those living in one- and two-room flats, and about four months of utility bills for those living in three- and four- room flats, said MOF.

Goh Meng Seng issued Pofma order over false claims linking LTA and Iswaran with contract to Lum Kok Seng

Opposition politician Goh Meng Seng was issued a correction notice under the law against fake news, after claiming that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) awarded a «huge contract» to Lum Kok Seng when S. Iswaran was transport minister. Goh had published the allegations on his Facebook page, as well as on the Goh Meng Seng People's Power Party page on Tuesday (March 26). He was issued a correction direction under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (Pofma), under the instruction of Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat. Lum, 75, is managing director of property management and construction firm Lum Chang. He was mentioned in the eight additional charges that Iswaran was handed on Monday.  The former transport minister was accused of obtaining valuable items worth about $18,956.94 from Lum between November 2021 and 2022. Under Section 165 of the Penal Code, it is an offence for public servants to accept gifts from someone involved with them in an official capacity.

Casket falls during funeral procession in Mountbatten, scaring onlookers

It's said that we return to the earth when we die, but this accident may have put the deceased a little closer to the earth than onlookers would have liked. At a funeral procession under a HDB block at block 5, Jalan Batu in Mountbatten, a casket carried by a group of people fell on the road, as onlookers watched in shock. In the video uploaded to the Singapore Happenings Reddit on Wednesday (March 27), a large group of over 25 people can be seen following a funeral procession at around 1pm that day.  A group of about eight people are carrying a casket on a bed of poles as they walk down the road. However, the casket abruptly falls, shocking onlookers. «Oh my goodness, it dropped! Oh my gosh!» A voice can be heard saying in the background of the video. The crowd quickly gathers as they pick up the casket, attempting to put it back on the poles. The video ends as they manage to lift the casket up once more.

Russia, Mali to strengthen counterterrorism efforts

Russia and Mali agreed to strengthen their cooperation over counterterrorism in a telephone call on Wednesday according to both parties, following the attack in Moscow that killed at least 137. Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to the head of the Malian junta, Colonel Assimi Goita, and the President of Congo-Brazzaville, Denis Sassou Nguesso, the Kremlin said in a statement. Putin and Goita «agreed to strengthen anti-terrorist cooperation», the Kremlin said. The Islamic State (IS) group has claimed responsibility on multiple occasions and published a graphic video of the gunmen carrying out the attack. Colonel Goita echoed the decision on social media: «We have agreed to cooperate more in the fight against terrorism». France was forced to withdraw troops who had been fighting jihadist violence, from Mali in 2022 after coups in 2020 and 2021 saw relations nosedive. The regime moved towards a political and military partnership with Russia. Moscow had steadily gained influence through the dispatch of fighters from the Wagner mercenary group, which has unofficially served the Kremlin's aims in resource-rich Africa since the 2010s. Putin and Goita also discussed strengthening «cooperation in energy, agricultural and mining projects», the Kremlin reported. The Kremlin mentioned Russia's «free» delivery of wheat, fertiliser and fuel to Mali. Russia has also established itself as the main ally of the military regimes of Burkina Faso and Niger, who exited a wider Western African bloc in favour of a joint defence pact with Mali. © Agence France-Presse
