SINGAPORE — Cordlife resumed its cord blood banking services on Sept 15 after a hiatus of 9½ months, during which it overhauled its facilities and operations to meet the standards required by the Ministry of Health (MOH).  The green light it has received from the ministry comes with caveats, including being allowed to receive no more than 30 new cord blood units (CBUs) a month for the first six months. This is less than 10 per cent of the roughly 400 units a month that it used to get. The majority of parents sign up to bank their babies' cord blood in the third trimester of pregnancy, so it will likely be a month or so before Cordlife starts receiving new CBUs when the babies are born. MOH shut down the firm's operations on Nov 30, 2023, after finding that seven of its 22 storage tanks had been exposed to temperatures above minus 150 deg C, which could result in damage to the stem cells in the cord blood, making them non-viable. Cord blood contains stem cells that may be used to treat blood diseases and some cancers, such as leukaemia and lymphoma, should the baby develop these illnesses later in life. 

A man riding a personal mobility aid (PMA) appears to have lost his temper while crossing the road — he kicked a car that was blocking his way. In a video clip posted to Facebook group Singapore Road Vigilante on Tuesday (Sept 17), the PMA user and his female pillion can be seen crossing a busy road that leads to Lorong 4 Toa Payoh while vehicles are waiting to make a left turn. As the slope connecting the road to the pedestrian walkway is blocked by a silver car, the PMA user is seen trying to go around the vehicle to get across the road. However, the car moves forward with traffic and ends up cutting him off. The man is then seen kicking the car's rear bumper before the vehicle drives off, allowing him to ride his PMA onto the walkway. The PMA user's actions sparked criticism from some netizens, who questioned whether he truly needed mobility aid. One such netizen commented: «Looks like an able-bodied person [who] misused the system. Singaporeans are becoming lazy». «Can still kick. Obviously not handicapped,» wrote another commentor.
