In an ongoing fight against scams, the government has implemented various safeguards to protect and educate potential victims. The latest safeguard? An enhanced ScamShield app which is now equipped with a new «Check for Scams» function. What this means is that the app will be using artificial intelligence to identify and alert users about potential scam threats across platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, phone calls and other channels.  The app's enhancement comes at a time when scams are quickly evolving, signalling a need to step up measures, said Minister of State (MOS) for the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Social and Family Development Sun Xueling at a multi-agency briefing on the government's anti-scam efforts on Tuesday (Aug 20). «As scammers evolve their tactics, we have to update our responses. The enhanced ScamShield app has been designed to stay ahead of these threats, providing Singaporeans with a better way to safeguard themselves against scams,» said Sun, who is also the Chairperson of the Inter-Ministry Committee on Scams.

University student Phoebe Wee has come to terms with the inevitability of death through volunteering at Assisi Hospice over the past four years. The 20-year-old has seen a fair share of deaths — many of the patients at the hospice's day care centre have a prognosis of one year or less.  «It really never gets easier,» Wee said in an interview with AsiaOne. «It still hits me hard when I hear that a patient has left.» Among those patients was Patrick Perera, who died in July 2023. Wee remembered him as a «cheerful guy» who charmed everyone in the hospice with his singing. The hospice volunteer also bonded with his wife Manelle, 83, through their mutual love of handicraft. «Both of them were in the hospice together,» Wee said about the couple who were married for over 50 years. «You could see the love and respect they had for each other. It was a joy to be around them.» As his health declined, Wee visited him several times in the hospital, and also checked in on his wife regularly to «make sure she was okay». «I think it meant a lot to her,» said the volunteer.

A business incubation centre will be established in Seychelles next year through a virtual signing of a memorandum of understanding between the COMESA Federation of Women in Business (COMFWB) Seychelles Chapter and the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI). The agreement, signed on Wednesday, proposes a partnership to deliver business incubation and apprenticeship programme for young men and women across Seychelles. COMFWB Seychelles will front the youths and women-led enterprises for mentorship. KIRDI on the other hand will bring on board its expertise in product development, product standard certification, and quality and further leverage current partnerships to better the capacity of SMSEs in Seychelles. The chairperson of the COMFWB Seychelles Chapter, Claudette Albert, said, «This is a milestone for us, in terms of capacity building we will be able to develop our support and incubation programme by next year. We are already providing some training programmes for incubation such as the project to develop products from fish skin.» Albert shared that the «MOU will help us with expertise from Kenya where they can support us with training. Furthermore, while we wait for our centre to be built, we can also send entrepreneurs interested to Kenya where they can follow different training on a paying basis.» Seychelles COMFWB is also being assisted by the Citizenship Engagement Platform Seychelles (CEPS). The chief executive of CEPS, Alvin Laurence, said they agreed to build the Incubation Centre on the same land next to the CEPS House on the man-made island of Ile du Port. «There is already a plan to build the CEPS House and it includes an environmental and economic component. This lab will be built as the first incubation centre and will answer these components. Entrepreneurs will be able to gain access to equipment and space without needing major installation costs initially,» said Laurence. «The CEPS House itself is already in an advanced phase and we expect to begin before the end of this year. The property is located just after the Trotters Stop School at Ile du Port.» Albert confirmed that the building will be modular to speed up the building time. She added that they are also receiving assistance from several other donors for other components related to the project. «The European Union is helping with the equipment needed at SCR2 million ($142,000). COMESA (Common Market of Eastern and Southern Africa) is also helping support the project through the technical assistance programme,» she added.  She confirmed that they expect to establish a separate incubator to deal specifically with Blue Economy projects under the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD). Seychelles will be the first in the Business Incubator for African Woman Entrepreneurs (BIAWE) group in the region to implement such a project. Signing the agreement on behalf of KIRDI, the director general of KIRDI, Dr Calvin Onyango said, «We as KIRDI are ready and willing to transfer skills and technologies to others to boost their SME profile and productivity.»
