Foodpanda said on Wednesday (Nov 20) it will offer refunds to those who recently signed up for the Pandapro plan. The spokesperson told AsiaOne that the food delivery platform will contact all affected subscribers to offer refunds on a no-questions-asked basis.   This comes after the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) issued the food delivery platform a warning for its misleading advertisement.  Foodpanda's campaign, which ran from July 1 to Sept 30, promised «unlimited free delivery on all restaurants» to those who purchased a Pandapro subscription, which starts from $4.99 a month.  The advertisement was displayed across multiple platforms, including the company's Instagram page, its in-app marketing as well as billboards and signages at public areas, said CCCS. The lack of qualifiers in the campaign could mislead consumers into thinking that Pandapro subscribers would enjoy free delivery on all restaurants available on the app, the commission added. However, Pandapro subscribers only received a $3 discount for all restaurants, or a discount of up to $6 for selected restaurants.

SINGAPORE — National sports agency Sport Singapore (SportSG) has dismissed allegations against former national table tennis player Feng Tianwei over «claims of misappropriation of public funds» by an individual claiming to be her former physical trainer. A person purporting to be Zhou Xiang recently levelled numerous accusations at the Olympic medallist via a dossier containing over 100 pages. The printed documents were sent to The Straits Times two weeks ago, and an anonymous e-mail carrying similar content was also sent to SportSG, the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth and the media on Nov 10. The dispute involving the individual claiming to be Zhou and Feng, who retired in 2022 and is now an assistant director at SportSG and principal of the ActiveSG Table Tennis Academy, is allegedly financial in nature, among other matters. Responding to ST's queries, a SportSG spokesman said on Nov 19: "SportSG is aware of recent allegations stemming from a personal arrangement between retired paddler Feng Tianwei and her former personal fitness coach.

Seychelles has begun updating its National Implementation (NIP) Plan to effectively target Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and stay aligned with the Stockholm Convention. A workshop was held at the Savoy Resort and Spa hotel on Tuesday to receive the input of not only government officials but also those from civil society, academia and the industry. POPs are compounds that are difficult to destroy, keeping their chemical makeup over long periods that have been linked to a number of health problems in humans. The Stockholm Convention, to which Seychelles is a signatory, calls for governments to take measures to reduce or eliminate the release of POPs into the environment. In her address to officially open the workshop, the director of the Division for Waste, Enforcement and Permit Division, Nanette Laure, said that Seychelles signing the Stockholm Convention represents its collective commitment to safeguarding human health and the environment from the adverse effects of POPs. She said that with the «Seychelles' unique biodiversity and reliance on marine and terrestrial resources, the effective management of such substances is not just an obligation but most importantly it is a necessity.» The participants reviewed the objectives and framework of the Stockholm Convention and its implications for Seychelles, an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean. The aim of updating the NIP is to take into account the latest scientific knowledge, technological advancements and most importantly newly listed POPs which in turn Laure said would ensure a comprehensive approach to addressing those polluants. Participants also had the chance to identify challenges, opportunities and priority actions for the updated plan as well as assess progress and achievements made in the existing NIP. Seychelles developed its first NIP in 2007 - where it identified 12 pesticidal POPs that should be eliminated. Local expert Cliff Gonzalves has been appointed as the National Lead Expert for updating the NIP. Over the coming two years, he will be working with the local stakeholders to make an inventory of POPs in the country in an effort to make sure the data available is up to date. The Department of Environment, which is leading the project, also revealed that there will be training sessions as part of the process. The Global Environment Facility (GEF), through the Africa Institute, is providing capacity-building support for updating the NIP.
