One migrant worker in Singapore emerged as the winner of the grand prize at a company event, and his first thought was his family. Selvam, a heavy lift vehicle operator, won $18,888 at Pollisum Group's Squid Game-themed dinner and dance (D&D) on Saturday (May 27).  In a TikTok video uploaded by the event's emcee, the migrant worker was seen falling to his knees on the stage after he was announced as the winner. A man standing beside him tried to help him back to his feet. He then received a massive bouquet of $100 bank notes, which amount to an estimated one and a half years' worth of his salary.

SINGAPORE – Singapore Airlines (SIA) will give free unlimited in-flight Wi-Fi to KrisFlyer member passengers flying in economy and premium economy classes from July 1. The move is part of SIA’s efforts to improve flight experiences for its passengers, said chief executive officer Goh Choon Phong at a media roundtable on Tuesday (May 30). It comes after the airline said it will make some changes to its meal offerings from June 1, such as re-introducing appetisers to economy class meals. The roll-out of free inflight Wi-Fi to KrisFlyer members in economy and premium economy classes is a step up from SIA’s increase in Wi-Fi privileges in January. The airline had said in January that passengers travelling in its suites, and first and business classes, as well as Priority Passenger Service (PPS) Club members will enjoy complimentary unlimited inflight Wi-Fi. KrisFlyer members in the economy class and premium economy classes are currently given two hours and three hours of free Wi-Fi respectively. Signing up for a KrisFlyer membership is free.

Die vorliegende Studie ist Teil eines weiter gefassten Projekts, das als Grundlage für den integrierten und korrelierten Vergleich der Regelung der Grundsätze der Gleichheit und der Nichtdiskriminierung in den unterschiedlichen Rechtsordnungen dienen soll. Es wird untersucht, wie sich diese Grundsätze in der Rechtsordnung der Europäischen Union etabliert haben. Insbesondere wird auf die Anerkennung eingegangen, die diese in den Quellen des Primärrechts (Gründungsverträge und deren Ergänzungen) und des Sekundärrechts (Verordnungen und Richtlinien) gefunden und durch die Auslegung und Rechtsfortbildung in der Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs erfahren haben. Außerdem wird dargelegt, wie diese Grundsätze, ausgehend von einem sozialen und vorwiegend arbeitsrechtlichen Ansatz, im Laufe der Zeit eine immer größere Bedeutung und Tragweite erlangt haben, um sich letztendlich als Parameter für die Rechtmäßigkeit auf die Arbeit der Union in all ihren Zuständigkeitsbereichen zu erstrecken und den Stellenwert von Grundrechten zu erlangen, die ausdrücklich in die Charta der Grundrechte der Europäischen Union aufgenommen wurden und heute dort verankert sind. Schließlich sollen die Grenzen und die Ausnahmen hinsichtlich des Schutzes dieser grundlegenden Rechte aufgezeigt werden, indem auf die gleichermaßen bestehende Schutzwürdigkeit anderer grundlegender Rechte eingegangen wird, die im Falle einer Kollision eine angemessene Güterabwägung erforderlich macht. Zur Sprache kommt auch das Risiko einer möglichen überschießenden Anwendung, die zu Formen der „umgekehrten“ Diskriminierung führen kann. Source : © European Union, 2023 - EP

As part of the 'Fit for 55' package, the European Commission presented a legislative proposal to review the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). The aim of the review is to align the EU ETS Directive with the EU targets set out in the European Climate Law. To this end, the amount of emission allowances would be reduced, fewer allowances would be allocated for free, and the ETS would be extended to maritime transport. A separate new emissions trading system would be established for fuel distribution for road transport and buildings. In the European Parliament, the proposal was referred to the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI), with Peter Liese (EPP, Germany) as rapporteur. The Parliament and the Council adopted their respective positions in June 2022 and reached a provisional trilogue agreement in December 2022. The file was subsequently split into two parts, with the monitoring, reporting and verification of maritime GHG emissions treated separately. The legal acts were published in the Official Journal on 16 May 2023 and enter into force on 5 June 2023. Fifth edition.

Ce document s’intègre dans une série d’études qui, avec une perspective de droit comparé, visent à faire une présentation du concept d’État de droit dans différents États et organisations internationales. Après avoir expliqué le droit positif et la jurisprudence, le contenu, les limites et la possible évolution de ce concept sont examinés. La présente étude a pour objet le cas du Canada. Hérité du droit public anglais, le principe de primauté du droit au Canada adopte les éléments généralement associés à une conception formelle, alors que sa dimension substantielle demeure moins bien définie. De façon générale, le principal enjeu contemporain concernant la primauté du droit est sa relation avec la loi. Est proposée une conception substantielle « étroite » constituée des éléments essentiels de la primauté du droit, lesquels possèdent une capacité de contrôler l’action étatique, incluant la loi, qui y contreviendrait.

The crypto-asset sector, while still relatively new, has already changed the world of payments and investment forever. The fast-changing, mobile nature of the sector and its growing market prominence poses challenges, however, for tax authorities, which are not always able to track the capital gains made from trading crypto-assets. On 8 December 2022, the European Commission proposed to set up a reporting framework which would require crypto-asset service providers to report transactions made by EU clients. This would help tax authorities to track the trade of crypto-assets and the proceeds gained, thereby reducing the risk of tax fraud and evasion. The reporting framework would be set-up by amending the Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC), which is the main framework for other data exchanges between tax authorities. The proposal also puts forward a series of (smaller) changes to improve the existing exchange of tax-related information. The proposed directive is subject to a special legislative procedure, requiring unanimous support in the Council, following consultation of the European Parliament and the European Economic and Social Committee. The Council reached a general approach on the proposal during the meeting of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council on 16 May 2023. Second edition.

Companies can play a key role in building a sustainable economy and society. At the same time, their global value chains can pose risks to human rights and the environment. A growing number of EU companies have taken initiatives to deploy due diligence processes, often using existing voluntary international standards on responsible business conduct. Some Member States have meanwhile started developing their own legal frameworks on corporate due diligence. To avoid fragmentation, and give businesses and citizens legal certainty, Parliament called on the Commission in a legislative-initiative resolution to introduce mandatory due diligence legislation. In February 2022, the Commission proposed a directive laying down rules on corporate due diligence obligations, directors' duties, civil liability and protection of persons reporting breaches. The legislative file follows the ordinary legislative procedure. The Council reached political agreement on a general approach in December 2022. In Parliament, eight committees sent opinions to the Committee on Legal Affairs (responsible for the dossier), which adopted its report on the Commission proposal in April 2023. Once Members have voted on the report in plenary, the co legislators can start interinstitutional negotiations on the final text. Second edition.

Is it inflation or poor business ethics? That was the question posed by Stomp contributor Huntington, who was left disappointed by the small portion of his chicken rice. Huntington said he bought a packet of Hainanese chicken rice from a coffee shop stall at Block 146 Potong Pasir Avenue 1 on Tuesday evening (May 30), at around 6.30pm. He told Stomp: «I paid $3.50 for chicken rice and it came with only four pieces of meat. I did not see it when my food was being packed and only noticed when I got home.
