SINGAPORE - The authorities are looking into a case of jobs offered on LinkedIn, supposedly by a branch of the Communist Party of China and its Communist Youth League. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) told The Straits Times on Dec 24 that it is aware of the matter and that police reports have been received. Two job listings had been posted on the online platform on Dec 20 by an account that named itself the Communist Youth League of China. The Communist Youth League of China is the youth wing of the Communist Party of China. The listings were for a party branch secretary and deputy branch secretary for a supposed Ngee Ann Polytechnic branch of the youth league. The account that made the listings, and the listings themselves, have since been taken down. MHA warned that the Singapore Government will not tolerate the importation of the politics of other countries into the Republic. «Foreigners visiting, studying, working or living in Singapore should not carry out their political agendas or activities here. We will deal firmly with any individual or group found to be doing so,» it said.
SINGAPORE - Passengers who use ride-hailing apps Grab, Gojek, Tada and ComfortDelGro's CDG Zig will pay more per trip from 2025 when the four operators hike platform fees, a move they say is meant to cover costs arising from the upcoming Platform Workers Act. Grab, the largest ride-hailing firm here, will raise its platform fee by 20 cents from 70 cents to 90 cents per trip from Jan 1, 2025. In an e-mail announcement to its users on Dec 24, Grab said this increase in platform fee will account for contributions to its workers' Central Provident Fund (CPF) accounts, work injury compensation and other welfare initiatives. Similarly, Gojek will raise its platform fee by 30 cents to 50 cents per trip starting from Jan 1, 2025. This is up from the current 60 cents to $1 per trip. The operator, which announced this on its website, said the revised platform fee will range from 90 cents to $1.50 for every trip. ComfortDelGro, the largest taxi operator in Singapore, will follow suit and raise its platform fee by 30 cents to 50 cents, from a flat rate of 70 cents to a range of $1 to $1.20 based on distance travelled and travel time.
