The Railway Police Bureau said on Friday that manpower and patrols have been increased along Taiwan's high-speed railway, after the operator received an email about bomb threats.

As a country, we have many strengths to be proud of, but our greatest strength is our people.

During COVID-19, we stepped up in so many ways to support one another:
- making hand sanitizers
- sewing facemasks
- delivering food to the quarantined
- refurbishing laptops for disadvantaged kids
- caring for migrant workers
- vaccinating the elderly
- or showing a little extra kindness to one another, starting young

In this moment of crisis, Singaporeans have continued to look ahead, and to pour heart and soul into our hopes and dreams. In ordinary times, we may not realise how strong Singaporeans can be. Now, in the crisis of a generation, we have shown ourselves and the world what Singaporeans can do.

DELIVERY WORKERS

PM Lee: I am especially concerned about a specific group of lower-wage workers. These are delivery workers who work with online platforms like Foodpanda, Grab & Deliveroo. They lack the job protection that most employees have, like workplace injury compensation, union representation and employer CPF.

Besides delivery workers, there are also some lower-wage workers in other jobs who have an employee-like relationship with platforms. Such lower-wage workers will find it harder to afford housing, healthcare & eventually retirement. More people are taking up this type of work, so this problem is growing.

The Singapore Ministry of Manpower is studying it, and will be doing consultations. We must address the issues & give these workers more secure futures.

希臘第二大島Evia 野火失控，總理 Mitsotakis 形容這場森林大火規模史無前例。大火吞噬了大片松樹林、住宅以及商店，上千人被迫從海上撤離逃命。煙霧和灰燼擋住了太陽，天空被染成了一片橘紅色。

Swing dance 真的是很好玩的社交舞!!!
許久沒有跟超多男性一起參加活動一開始其實還很緊張，
閱人無數結果還緊張到一直狂喝義大利紅酒壯膽:)
