It said hackers installed a file and then published a fake news item attributed to Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, just after midnight May 24.

SINGAPORE - Nearly seven in 10 employers in Singapore think the four-day work week is a feasible concept, according to a recent poll. This puts Singapore in the middle of the pack among 11 Asian markets surveyed, including Malaysia, Hong Kong and South Korea, as conversations around flexible work arrangements are becoming more prevalent worldwide. The same proportion of employers (69 per cent) believes such an arrangement could improve productivity levels, said recruitment firm Robert Walters on Sept 24. Employees are far more enthusiastic, with 93 per cent of them saying they would like their employer to implement a four-day work week trial. When it comes to cementing the arrangement, employers here are more cautious than their South-east Asian peers. Only 18 per cent of Singapore employers said that they have plans to or are considering a transition to a four-day work week within the next two years, compared with the regional average of 37 per cent. About two in 10 employers here said they are willing to offer more flexible work hours on Fridays, and a similar proportion were open to a 4½-day work week.
Among the victims are 50 children and 94 women
