Since the SkillsFuture initiative was launched a decade ago in 2015, over one in two eligible Singaporeans aged 30 to 75 have used their credits for courses, with participation spiking in December 2025. This surge was due to the one-off $500 credit top-up given in 2020 expiring at the end of 2025, said SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG). In a media release on Monday (Feb 9), the statuary board said that 606,000 people enrolled in SSG-supported training in 2025, up from 555,000 people in 2024. The number of people who used their SkillsFuture Credit in December 2025 was higher than the monthly average across January to November that year. Users were most interested in courses from the Information & Communications, Food & Beverages, and Security & Investigation sectors in 2025. SSG said 73 per cent of its survey respondents agreed to a large or very large extent that their training improved work performance — an increase from 69 per cent in 2024. 67 per cent of respondents also attributed their career advancements to their courses as compared with 64 per cent in 2024. 

Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers have foiled an attempt to smuggle drones and replica guns, including its parts and accessories, into Singapore via an inbound cargo container. The incident happened on Jan 22 at the Tanjong Pagar Scanning Station in PSA Tanjong Pagar Terminal. In a Facebook post on Monday (Feb 9), ICA said its officers noticed anomalies in the scanned images of the container and directed the cargo for further checks. ICA search and examination officers found a total of 72 undeclared drones, and more than 10 units of replica guns and other parts and accessories. Replica and toy guns are controlled items in Singapore and their import is managed under the Regulations of Imports and Exports Regulations. This means that approval from the police's regulatory department is required for their import. According to the police, any toy or replica guns that bear close resemblance to actual firearms will not be approved.

A dramatic escape attempt at a Johor Bahru land checkpoint last month saw a Malaysian policeman draw his gun while his colleague picked up a traffic cone and hit a car bonnet in a bid to stop an errant driver. Viral dashcam footage posted by Facebook page SGRV on Saturday (Feb 7) shows a Volkswagen bearing a Singapore licence plate going against the flow of traffic at a car zone at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex at the Johor Bahru end of the Causeway. The incident purportedly occurred at about 1.30am on Jan 10. When the two Malaysian policemen approach the car, the driver abruptly reverses before jerking forward and lightly bumping into the cam car. One policeman draws his gun as the driver reverses again and attempts to go over the lane divider. Another officer then grabs a nearby traffic cone and strikes the car's bonnet. As the cam car backs away from the scene, the errant driver takes the chance and speeds away through the lane opening. The clip has since attracted nearly 700,000 views and more than 3,000 likes as of Monday afternoon.
