Within nine hours of receiving an assault report on Monday (Jan 20) morning, the police tracked down and arrested the two suspected perpetrators. The two men, aged 48 and 61, will be charged in court on Wednesday with voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons with common intention, said the police.  In a statement on Tuesday, the police said they received a call for assistance in the vicinity of Lorong 24 Geylang at about 7.35am on Monday. A 26-year-old man was injured and taken conscious to the hospital.

The metal stick was found at the scene and subsequently seized as a case exhibit. Police officers established the identities of the two attackers, leading to their arrest within nine hours of the report. If found guilty, the men may face a jail term of up to seven years or be fined or caned.

SINGAPORE — Children younger than 18 months old should not be allowed screen use or be exposed to screens in the background. Background screen use refers to having the television or other devices turned on in the background even when a child is not watching them. These are part of stricter and clearer guidelines on screen use that the Health Ministry (MOH) has provided for children up to 12 years of age. Previous editions had discouraged the use of screens and recommended caregivers to reduce background screen exposure. The updated guidelines, launched on Jan 21, are part of a new national health strategy to encourage children and adolescents to adopt healthier lifestyles. This will focus on those up to 12 years of age, with plans to later extend it to older children. In a joint statement, MOH, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) said that children in Singapore face health risks from inactive lifestyles with excessive screen time, poor nutrition, and inadequate sleep and physical activity.

The 'datafication' of everyday life and data scandals have made the protection of personal information an increasingly important social, legal and political matter for the EU. In recent years, awareness of data rights has grown considerably. The right to privacy and the right to protection of personal data are both enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU and in the EU Treaties. The entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty in 2009 gave the Charter the same legal value as the Treaties and abolished the pillar structure, providing a stronger basis for a more effective and comprehensive EU data protection regime. In 2012, the European Commission launched an ambitious reform to modernise the EU data protection framework. In 2016, the European Parliament and the Council, as co-legislators, adopted the EU's most prominent data protection legislation yet – the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – and the Law Enforcement Directive. The framework overhaul also included adopting an updated Regulation on Data Protection in the EU institutions and reforming the e-Privacy Directive. The European Parliament played a key role in these reforms, both as co-legislator and author of own initiative reports and resolutions, seeking to guarantee a high level of data protection for EU citizens. The European Court of Justice plays a crucial role in developing the EU data protection framework through case law. In the coming years, challenges in the area of data protection will include rectifying GDPR enforcement deficits, balancing the compliance and data needs of emerging technologies, granting data access for security purposes without excessively compromising privacy and data protection, and mitigating compliance burdens for small and medium-sized enterprises.
