Sea level rise: Seychelles identifies locations for urgent coastal protection 

Authorities in Seychelles have identified four locations as priority areas for the coastal infrastructure development project, a top official said on Monday. The chosen areas are the eastern Mahe district of Au Cap, North East Point and Beau Vallon in the north of Mahe, and Anse La Blague on Praslin. The Minister for Agriculture, Climate Change and Environment, Flavien Joubert, said, «The Seychelles Meteorological Authority has confirmed that the sea level in Seychelles is increasing by about 3mm (millimetres) every year which is faster than previously estimated, therefore it is necessary to find ways to protect the country's coastal infrastructure.» He added that a list of priority areas has been compiled with over 30 locations identified as urgent. Joubert said that given the financial cost, the different projects needed to mitigate the effects of coastal erosion and sea level rise will be implemented by phase and that  «Seychelles cannot cope with these challenges on its own, we have to look for additional support from outside.» He said that there are several funds Seychelles will apply for funding such as the Global Environment Facility (GEF), Adaptation Fund and Loss and Damage Fund among others. The minister said the government intends to set up mechanisms to help people with climate mitigation in the future and other measures will be implemented in the long term to facilitate the private sector. The panel of ministers and chief executives at the press conference. (Seychelles Nation) Photo License: CC-BY The Minister for Transport, Antony Derjacques, described this issue as a crisis and not just a national problem. He said many infrastructure such as roads and pavements are already being damaged by coastal erosion in several areas of the country, notably Anse La Blague on Praslin, which he described as being in a critical situation. «If you live in the south, (Mahe) you will see how the sea reaches the road, especially during high tides. At North East Point, there is a lot of sand that ends up on the road because of the tide. At Anse La Blague, if we are not careful and if we do not raise the level of the road, it will be affected and even may cut off access to the other side for the residents who live there,» said Derjacques. «All relevant agencies are working together to tackle these challenges, either locally or internationally, especially with other Small Island Developing States (SIDS) that may be facing the same challenges. A common approach is important,» he added. The principal secretary for Climate Change, Tony Imaduwa,  added that in the meantime, given the limited number of financial resources available for the country, «the different projects identified have to be grouped according to their similarities, to maximise what resources we have. We have to do more in-depth studies to understand what could happen in the long term.» The chief executive of the Seychelles Land Transport Authority, Parinda Herath, clarified that the list with 30 projects is not a final one as more will be added to it in the future depending on how the situation develops. «Our technicians from different agencies are already working on the project details including the cost estimates. The Ministry of Finance has given us a positive indication that there will be some financing to be able to at least implement some of the projects in the meantime,» said Herath. «Another major challenge is that sometimes the damage to the road is not necessarily visible at first, erosion happens below and suddenly you find a sinkhole and emergency repairs have to be done immediately. In some places, we had to install rock armouring,» he added. Highlighting the importance of working together and using the resources well, the chief executive of the Seychelles Infrastructure Agency, Jitesh Shah, said that this should be a collective effort. «We are also helping the Local Government with certain community drainage projects, which are also important. All drainage works together, it starts from the mountain and down to the sea. We need to ensure that whatever solution is implemented in one place does not affect an area further away,» said Shah.

Tampines residents place potted plants on common corridor to get back at each other

Next-door neighbours on the 10th storey of Block 218 Tampines Street 24 unhappy over items placed in the common corridor used potted plants to get back at each other. But the person who was apparently most inconvenienced was a third neighbour, who is a personal mobility device (PMD) user. The man told Shin Min Daily News: «I tried to communicate with Angela but she accused me of being heartless.» He claimed that Angela, who is said to have moved into her corner unit less than a year ago, had arranged her potted plants up to the space in front of his door. Angela has been in dispute with her immediate neighbours, the Yangs. She told Stomp that the neighbours had placed their footwear and potted plants in the space right outside her door, which runs along the wall to their unit. «This is my passageway but the plants and shoes belong to them. I have already complained to the Town Council,» she said. Tampines TC on April 28 issued a secular informing the residents that the clutter should be removed from the corridor by May 2 and reminded them about the need to keep at least 1.2m of the corridor width clutter-free.

Singaporean households can now claim $300 CDC vouchers

SINGAPORE — Every Singaporean household can now claim $300 in Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers for their daily expenses. They will be split equally for spending at participating hawkers and heartland merchants, and supermarkets. The last tranche of CDC vouchers worth $500 was launched by then-Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Jan 3, 2024. It provided households with $200 more help than the previous tranche in 2023. The $500 given out in January 2024, together with the $300 in June, means that each Singaporean household will get a total of $800 in 2024. This is the first time two tranches of CDC vouchers have been given out in the same calendar year. Wong, who is also Finance Minister, announced at Budget 2024 in February that Singaporeans will get a mix of cash, vouchers and rebates under a $1.9 billion boost to the Assurance Package to help with cost-of-living concerns and an uncertain economic outlook. Among the enhancements were an additional $600 in CDC vouchers — the first $300 to be disbursed end June in 2024, and the remaining $300 will be disbursed in January 2025.

'Never thought of selling': Pulau Ubin provision shop owner refuses to give up despite $6,000 loss last year

With fewer residents and a dip in the number of visitors to the island over the years, Ng Ngak Heng's business has taken a hit. Last year, the 74-year-old, who owns Yak Hong provision shop in Pulau Ubin, chalked up a loss of $6,000. But throwing in the towel has never crossed her mind.  The shop is located just a stone's throw away from the jetty.  Ng told Shin Min Daily News that she moved to the island in 1975 after marrying her husband Law Kuing Liak. He inherited the provision shop from his father, who started it in the 1920s. «The shop now has a history of almost 100 years,» said Ng, adding that it is open all year round, from 7am to 7.30pm.  In an interview with CNA in 2022, she shared that Yak Hong used to supply Pulau Ubin residents with basic necessities and feed for their farm animals.  However, the demand for such goods has plunged with the dwindling number of residents. From the 1950s to 1970s, about 2,000 people lived on the island. Only about 30 remain today, reported CNA. Even Ng's two sons live and work on the mainland, and visit her over the weekends and during Chinese New Year.
