'Like a ghost town on some days': Some JB shops hit by drop in Singaporean visitors after VEP enforcement

Ever since the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for Singapore-registered vehicles entering Malaysia came into effect from July 1, some business owners are feeling the pinch — fewer Singaporean customers are walking in through their doors.Speaking to AsiaOne, Hazel Eng, who works at Kacha Kacha, a self-photo studio located in Eco Palladium in Mount Austin, said that some Singaporean clients have cancelled their appointments after July 1.Eng is among 20 workers/business owners AsiaOne spoke to gauge the effect of the new rule on businesses.«Some customers reached out to say they couldn't secure their VEP in time and didn't want to risk any issues at the checkpoint, so they cancelled their appointments with us,» said the 25-year-old.«Others are unsure about the process or prefer to wait until things settle down before making the trip,» she added.Eng, who has been working at the studio for over four years, said she did not expect such a sudden and significant impact on customer traffic, especially since most of the studio's clientele comes from Singapore.

Can Singapore run without air-conditioning or fossil fuels? We break down the innovations Temasek Foundation is backing for $2m

The increase in greenhouse gas emissions has resulted in rising temperatures and sea levels, leading to extreme weather events like heavy rainfall - all of which are no stranger to those of us residing in Singapore.If ignored, these environmental ills might come at a greater cost in the long run; unpredictable weather results in reduced agriculture yield leading to a food shortage. Worsened climates impact public health with the added burden of heat stress.Temasek Foundation's The Liveability Challenge (TLC) thus called for sustainable innovations to address pressing challenges across two key themes: Cool Earth and Decarbonisation. One winner was selected for each theme, with both securing $1 million each in catalytic funding.The winners are Singapore-based Krosslinker for their cooling paints (Cool Earth) and Canada-based Ayrton Energy for their hydrogen carrier solution (Decarbonisation).Watch the videos as we breakdown how their innovations work to build a greener, more sustainable planet that ensures liveable environments for generations to come.
