After 27 years of calling Senoko Fishery Port their home, some 21 fish merchants have begun moving to new market lots in Jurong on Monday (March 18) night. For Tan Yew Meng, the move to Jurong Fishery Port, which is Singapore's only other fishing port, is a fresh start after two years of low footfall at the Senoko facility. The 64-year-old, who manages San Wong Fishery, told AsiaOne on the first day of relocation in Mandarin: «I miss the lively crowds during Chinese New Year in the first few years at Senoko. »But business has been getting from bad to worse over the past two years. There aren't a lot of people there anymore.« In June 2020, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) announced that the Senoko port would be closed and the land it sits on, the size of four-and-a-half football fields, would be returned to the state. Its future use is not known. SFA said that the closure of Senoko Fishery Port is due to »declining activity and customer patronage" there. The volume of seafood handled at Senoko dropped from 15,190 tonnes in 2000 to 2,743 tonnes 22 years later.
The People's Action Party (PAP) has said it will not seek to suspend Pritam Singh as a Member of Parliament (MP) while legal proceedings are ongoing. On Tuesday (March 19) morning, the Workers' Party (WP) chief pleaded not guilty to two charges of making false statements before a parliamentary committee that was looking into the conduct of former WP MP Raeesah Khan, who lied in the House in 2021. PAP's organising secretary Grace Fu said in a media statement on Tuesday there have been queries if the party will, through its MPs, seek to suspend the Leader of the Opposition, given that he has now been formally charged in court. «The PAP MPs will not be seeking Mr Singh's suspension as an MP while legal proceedings are pending,» she said, adding that this is in line with Parliament's resolution to defer any sanctions until after the conclusion of the investigations and criminal proceedings, if any, against Singh.
SINGAPORE — An elderly man was targeted in three scam attempts over two months and would have lost a total of S$3.7 million, if not for the swift intervention of the police and his banks. The 82-year-old was repeatedly victimised in February and March, but the Anti-Scam Centre (ASC), CIMB bank and Hong Leong Finance helped to reduce his losses and shield him from further harm. The police said on March 19 that in the first case, several transactions in the victim's bank account totalling $2.1 million were detected by CIMB's fraud management team on Feb 6. This prompted ASC and CIMB officers to visit him at his home. CIMB officers also suspended his bank account to prevent further losses. Subsequently, $1.3 million was recovered, but $800,000 was lost to scammers and sent overseas before a police report was filed. On Feb 7, ASC was alerted by the victim's son that three cheques amounting to $1.2 million were issued by Hong Leong Finance under the victim's instruction to three individuals. ASC instructed the bank to hold the cheques as they waited for further verifications.

The 10th joint-military exercise called 'LAMITYE', meaning friendship in the Creole language, between the Indian Army and the Seychelles Defence Forces (SDF) started in the island nation on Monday and will end on March 27. Forty-five personnel from Gorkha Rifles of the Indian Army led by Major Akshay Prakashrao Potraje are participating alongside 45 participants from the SDF. LAMITYE 2024 was launched at the Seychelles Defence Academy on the man-made islands of Ile Du Port. According to a communique from the Indian High Commission, «High Commissioner Pande and Chief of Staff Jean Attala addressed the gathering, both highlighting the robust defence cooperation between India and Seychelles and contribution of LAMITYE in developing mutual understanding between the troops.» The 'LAMITYE' exercise aims to achieve cohesion, jointness, and interoperability between both the defence forces during peacekeeping operations while also strengthening bilateral military relations. Around 90 personnel from the Seychelles Defence Forces and Gorkha Rifles of the Indian Army are participating in LAMITYE 2024 exercise. (Indian High Commission Seychelles) The 10-day-long joint exercise will include field training, combat discussions, lectures and demonstrations, concluding with two days of validation exercise. Both sides will also jointly train, plan and execute a series of well-developed tactical drills for neutralisation of likely threats that may be encountered in a semi-urban environment while exploiting and showcasing new-generation equipment and technology. Since the programme's inauguration in 2001, the biennial exercise has continually progressed with scenarios and operations tailored based on the needs, current situations and threats that each country may have to deal with. Seychelles hosts several military exercises with international partners regularly, such as the Cutlass Express, a United States-led multinational military exercise that takes place in Seychelles. The island nation also hosts the 'Cateau Noire" exercise between the SDF and the French Armed Forces in the Southern Indian Ocean Zone (FAZSOI), based in Reunion. The FAZSOI is a permanent military presence based in Reunion and Mayotte, and regularly holds such operations to combat drug trafficking in the area.
