Pakistan to continue import of LNG from Qatar

A Pakistani cabinet minister says Islamabad will continue to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar under a 15-year agreement, despite the severing of diplomatic ties with Qatar by Saudi Arabia and some other countries.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, the federal minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources, said Qatar and Pakistan last year signed a $1 billion agreement, under which Qatar's Liquefied Gas Company Limited will sell LNG from 2016 to year 2031 to state-run Pakistan State Oil.

He said since no sanctions have been imposed on Qatar by the United Nations, Pakistan and Qatar were bound to abide by the agreement.

Qatar has released an initial report into the alleged hack of its state-run news agency, an incident which helped spark a diplomatic crisis between the energy-rich country and Arab nations.

The Qatari Interior Ministry said late Wednesday that the website of the Qatar News Agency was initially hacked in April with "high techniques and innovative methods."

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.

The ministry did not say who it suspected carried out the attack. It also thanked the FBI and the British National Commission for Combating Crime for assisting it in its investigation.

The alleged fake news item, which had Sheikh Tamim making controversial comments on Iran and Israel, immediately was picked up by Saudi and Emirati media, laying the groundwork for the crisis that began Monday (05.06.2017.)

Kuwait's emir has traveled to Qatar and met that country's leader as part of his efforts to mediate an end to a crisis that's seen Arab nations cut ties to the energy-rich country and attempt to isolate it.

Kuwait's Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah was met planeside by Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, when he arrived on Wednesday night.

The two held talks, though details of their discussions were not released. Sheikh Sabah earlier Wednesday traveled to Dubai where he met with Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who also serves as prime minister and vice president of the UAE.

Sheikh Sabah also has traveled to Saudi Arabia in his efforts.

Migrant worker tattoos Lee Kuan Yew on neck to honour the country that changed his life: 'First pain, now gain'

A migrant worker who wanted a portrait of Lee Kuan Yew tattooed on his neck was initially turned away by a tattoo artist — who asked him to return the next day “to see if he was serious”.He did.On April 12, 38-year-old air-conditioning technician Sugumar Surendran visited a tattoo studio along North Bridge Road with a bold request: to ink Singapore's founding father's image on his neck.Speaking to Stomp, Surendran, who arrived from Tamil Nadu, India at 18 and has since worked across various companies as an air-conditioning technician, said he admires Lee for building Singapore into what he calls a «golden country», where laws ensure fairness and equality.Widely regarded as the architect of modern Singapore, Lee led the nation through its uncertain early years after independence in 1965 — a period he later described as his greatest political setback.Yet it also steeled his resolve. In the weeks after separation, he urged Singaporeans to press on: «This is not a country that belongs to any single community… Ten years from now, this will be a metropolis. Never fear!»It is this sense of determination that resonates with Surendran.

Some Singaporeans adjust spending amid Iran war, but hold on to comforts like air-con

Since the outbreak of the Iran war, Vignesh Kumaravel's quantitative trading models have struggled to perform due to «extreme volatility» in global stock markets.The quant finance professional, whose job involves coding systems to turn market signals into profits, said that higher prices have also hit him personally. He and some Vietnamese friends cancelled a trip to Kuala Lumpur after short-haul airfares doubled.«For now, I haven't changed my daily habits or food choices, but I am definitely being more careful with extra spending,» said the 26-year-old.Just as Vignesh fine-tunes his trading algorithms, Singaporeans are adapting their daily routines to cope with the higher prices unleashed by fighting in the Middle East.The Feb 28 air strikes on Iran by the United States and Israel triggered a series of retaliatory responses that have damaged oil and gas infrastructure in the Gulf, as well as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.

A vape user tried to enter a wrong flat in Sengkang and was caught on camera stumbling about outside for nearly half an hour.Stomp contributor Cheng shared a 28-minute CCTV video of the incident that took place at Block 452A Sengkang West Way on April 2 at 1.25am.He told Stomp he kept hearing someone outside trying to open his gate in the middle of the night and saw through the peephole a stranger wandering drunkenly along the common corridor.Cheng said: «I think he took Kpods until blur and thought this was his flat.»The bespectacled youth can be seen vaping in the video. At one point, he loses his balance and falls onto the floor, losing one of his slippers. He gets up and tries to wear his slipper, but soon gives up.The youth attempts and fails to unlock the Stomp contributor's gate, then staggers away and returns to try again repeatedly. He also appears to vomit several times, but it's unclear if he did. Eventually, he puts his slipper back on.Cheng said: «My wife didn't dare open the door. We called the police.»

'No tolls, no restrictions': Illegal weaponisation of Strait of Hormuz will set dangerous precedent, says PM Wong

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Friday (April 17) warned that other maritime chokepoints could be similarly targeted if any party is allowed to illegally weaponise an international waterway. He was speaking at a virtual meeting of nearly 50 countries to discuss the restoration of navigation rights and freedoms in the Strait of Hormuz. «Allowing any party to illegally weaponise an international waterway would set a dangerous precedent. Other maritime chokepoints could be similarly targeted,» PM Wong said, adding that allowing such weaponisation would result in a more disorderly and unstable world, governed by coercion and force rather than rules. «It's really in the collective interest of everyone in the international community to uphold navigational rights and freedoms, and to ensure that critical sea lanes remain open, secure, and accessible to all,» he added.
