Hello to all our readers, Yahoo Singapore will be bringing you live news updates today. The editorial team will be curating the latest must-know local and international news.
First off, a growing trend of activist disruptions has been taking place at People’s Action Party (PAP) Meet-the-People Sessions (MPS) across Singapore. Activists from the Monday of Palestine Solidarity group have targeted multiple sessions, confronting lawmakers and creating disturbances. The most recent incident occurred at Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam’s Chong Pang branch, where two activists confronted him about the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA). The activists were not residents of Shanmugam's constituency and accused him of lying after he explained that MPS are primarily for residents seeking assistance.
Meanwhile, Singapore has solidified its reputation as one of the world’s leading nations, placing 11th globally in the Country Power Score Index 2024, which ranks countries based on their economic, military, and social strength. With its robust economy, strategic global position, and high quality of life, the island city-state outshines countries like South Korea, India, and Indonesia in key areas like health, happiness, and economic stability. While its military might is modest compared to world powers, Singapore remains a powerhouse in trade, innovation, and education.
