Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a travel advisory on Oct. 27 warning against non-essential travel to Nigeria.

It reads, "In view of the current security situation and heightened risks of terrorist attacks in Nigeria, Singaporeans are advised to defer all non-essential travel to Nigeria."

MFA did not elaborate further on the "current security situation" nor the reasons behind heightened risk of terror attacks.

Singaporeans should take precautions

It advised Singaporeans currently in Nigeria to remain vigilant, monitor the local news and heed instructions from local authorities.

They should avoid places with large crowds and take "all necessary precautions" for personal safety, including purchasing comprehensive travel and medical insurance.

MFA's advisory comes after the U.S. State Department issued their own travel advisory.

U.S. issued travel advisory

Nigeria is currently classed as a Level 3, which indicates that visitors should reconsider travel due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, and maritime crime.

The U.S. advisory has a few more details, including specific cities and places to avoid:

• Abuja due to terrorism
• Borno, Yobe, Kogi, and northern Adamawa states due to terrorism and kidnapping
• Bauchi, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, and Zamfara states due to kidnapping
• Coastal areas of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, and Rivers states (with the exception of Port Harcourt) due to crime, kidnapping, and maritime crime

It adds:

"Violent crime – such as armed robbery, assault, carjacking, kidnapping, hostage taking, banditry, and rape – is common throughout the country. Kidnappings for ransom occur frequently, often targeting dual national citizens who have returned to Nigeria for a visit, as well as U.S. citizens with perceived wealth. Kidnapping gangs have also stopped victims on interstate roads.

Terrorists continue plotting and carrying out attacks in Nigeria. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting shopping centers, malls, markets, hotels, places of worship, restaurants, bars, schools, government installations, transportation hubs, and other places where crowds gather. Terrorists are known to work with local gangs to expand their reach.

There is civil unrest and low-level armed militancy in parts of Southern Nigeria, especially in the Niger Delta region. Armed criminality, including kidnapping and maritime crime, is also pervasive in this region.

Violence can flare up between communities of farmers and herders in rural areas. There is frequent maritime crime in the Gulf of Guinea."

The U.S. government also ordered the departure of family members of U.S. government employees from Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, due to heightened risk of terror attacks.

In 2021, The Guardian reported on instability in Nigeria, citing threats from bandits, the Boko Haram terror group, and Igbo secessionists in the southeast.

A lawyer in Florida, U.S., who opposed laws that mandated helmets for motorcycle riders, died in a motorcycle crash.

Ron Smith, of Pinellas County, was 66. His girlfriend Brenda Volpe, 62, also died in the crash. Neither were wearing helmets.

Aggressive advocate against motorcycle helmet laws

According to the Tampa Bay Times on Oct. 27, Smith was an "aggressive" advocate for changing the law in the 1990s, when riders in Florida were still required to wear helmets.

He was a member of a group that lobbied against the law, and represented clients who were charged for not wearing motorcycle helmets.

The requirement was changed in 2000 when the Florida state legislature passed a law that allowed motorcycle riders over the age of 21 to not wear helmets, as long as they had US$10,000 (S$14,000) in insurance coverage for injuries from motorcycle accidents.

On Aug. 20, Smith and Volpe crashed into a trailer attached to a pickup truck in another lane, after Smith lost control of his motorcycle while trying to slow down for traffic.

Impossible to say if helmets could have prevented deaths, but would have improved their odds of survival

Experts contacted by the Tampa Bay Times said it was impossible to say if wearing helmets would have prevented their deaths.

"It’s entirely possible that if they were wearing a helmet they might have survived, but again, we can’t say for sure. It certainly would have improved their odds," said Eric Teoh, who researched motorcycle safety for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to the Times.

Autopsy reports seen by the Times indicated that blunt head trauma was the cause of Smith's death, while Volpe died of head trauma.

It added:

"Florida’s death rate increased by 25 per cent after its helmet law was repealed, according to one study, and the number of motorcyclists admitted to hospitals with head injuries jumped 82 per cent in the 30 months following the law change."

In Singapore, the Road Traffic Act 1961 states: "Every person who drives or is carried on a motor cycle must wear securely on his or her head a protective helmet of a type approved by the Deputy Commissioner of Police."

First time offenders may be fined up to S$1,000, imprisoned for up to three months, or both.

My colleagues and I were thinking of how to celebrate Halloween in the office when we recalled the trend where people dressed up in mundane costumes.

This seemed like a great idea as we were not willing to spend money to buy costumes we were only going to wear once.

Since what we had in mind was a “mundane” Halloween party, we decided to stick to the theme all the way — everything would be minimum effort, and maximum results.

Decorations first

foodpanda saves the day

After we were done with the decorations, it was time to get food. 

As we were determined to get everything ready without leaving the office, we took to foodpanda to order our food and other party essentials.

To demonstrate my outstanding leadership capabilities, I took on the role of organising the party.

When I first opened the foodpanda app, I was wowed by all the different services there were.

After all, the noob in me had only used the food delivery option before.

In actual fact, the app also has the following features:

• Pick-up - tapau and self-collect your meals
• pandamart - get your grocery delivered to you in 30 minutes, 24/7 a day
• Shops - a marketplace with thousands of brands available 
• pandago - get your parcel delivered within 60 minutes
• Dine-in - eat out and score guaranteed discounts

Tap away

I managed to order items like tissue paper, chips, chocolates, and drinks with pandamart slightly past 12pm.

To ensure variety, I ordered food from three different restaurants:

• Maki-San (S$18.90)
• Crave Nasi Lemak (S$18.10)
• Pezzo Pizza (S$30.90)

The delivery fee was only S$0.99 for our food delivery orders, which also applies to other selected restaurants too.

I even got cream puffs from Beard Papa through foodpanda shops because I thought this would be a good way to bootlick my colleagues.

A good sport

As 2pm rolled around, it was time to get the party started.

Keeping to the agreed theme, my colleagues showed up in mundane outfits. 

My first colleague came in her pyjamas, sporting a work-from-home outfit: 

Our intern dressed up as an office lady, while my editor dressed up as a Gen Z pretending to be a millennial with Y2K fashion:

Another colleague dressed up in foodpanda ambassador Pau-Pau’s colours:

As you can see, she also has an actual bun in the oven.

While another two colleagues dressed up in retro-style and broccoli (I’m not convinced, but okay) respectively:

My final colleague dressed up as a skater girl and even brought her skateboard to the party:

Extra 10 points for being so game.

At the end of the party, my colleagues were all gushing about how much they liked being able to celebrate Halloween without stepping out of the office.

After all, this was an excuse occasion for us to celebrate and spend some time together. 

Minimum effort, maximum results indeed.

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said on Oct. 27 that they have arrested a 31-year-old man for his suspected involvement in a case of voluntarily causing hurt by a dangerous weapon.

What happened?

On Oct. 26, at about 3:35pm, the police responded to a case where a man had allegedly assaulted a 69-year-old man with a chopper along New Upper Changi Road.

The victim sustained injuries on his head and was conscious when conveyed to the hospital.

However, the man who wielded the chopper fled before the police arrived at the scene.

Police search

Officers from Bedok Police Division established the identity of the man and arrested him within five hours of the reported incident following extensive ground enquiries and footage from police cameras.

A chopper was recovered from a nearby rubbish bin and seized as a case exhibit.

The offence

The 31-year-old man will be charged in court on Oct. 28 with the offence of voluntarily causing hurt by a dangerous weapon.

The offence carries a punishment of imprisonment for a term of up to seven years, a fine, caning, or a combination of such punishments.

The police said they will not tolerate such brazen acts of violence and blatant disregard of the law.

The police added: "We will spare no effort to track down such offenders and will deal with them in accordance with the law."

The design of Singapore's tallest and most sustainable building was unveiled on Oct. 27.

When it is completed in 2028, the building will be 305m tall and will replace the 284m-tall Guoco Tower as the tallest building in Singapore.

Accessible via Tanjong Pagar MRT station

8 Shenton Way is a mixed-use building that will comprise of public spaces, offices, retail, hotel, and luxury residences.

It will be directly connected to Tanjong Pagar MRT station via an underground walkway.

On the building's ground floor, a public plaza space opens up to the street.

On the second floor, restaurants overlook green spaces which host plants that attract birds and butterflies.

The building was jointly designed by local firm DCA Architects and New York firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM).

As the design process took place over the pandemic, it was mostly conducted via Zoom between the two teams.

Most sustainable building in Singapore

Nature and sustainability are driving forces behind the design, said the architects.

The design of 8 Shenton Way is inspired by bamboo forests and the landmark is also set to be one of the most sustainable skyscrapers in Asia.

It aims to attain the Building Construction Authority's (BCA) Green Mark Platinum Certification.

"By seeking to achieve the city’s newest and most rigorous sustainability standards, our design will establish a new paradigm for resilient and elegant high-rise design in Singapore and beyond,” said SOM partner Mustafa Abadan.

The architects said that the skyscraper will save 55 per cent more energy compared to a baseline building.

One major energy demand is cooling. By incorporating vertical and horizontal fins in the design which promote heat transfer, the designers reduced heat coming into the building.

Another strategy to cut down on cooling power is by tapping into the neighbourhood's district cooling plant, which is a more efficient cooling system.

Seven sky gardens

The skyscraper boasts a biophilic design, with seven sky gardens on hotel, residential and office floors.

Altogether, the building will have at least 10,000 square meters of elevated, public green space, which is more than the footprint of the building site.

The architects said that the intention is for building occupants to have easy access to outdoor spaces where they can enjoy fresh air and sunlight.

Health and wellness are also primary design drivers for the skyscraper.

"The idea of integrating nature in a building, I don't know that's been done at this scale and at this height. Within three or four floors of every floor, someone can access nature, escape from their interior environment and be within a lush tropical environment," said SOM's design principal Nic Medrano.

Reusing materials from existing building

8 Shenton Way is currently occupied by a 50-storey building that is formerly known as AXA Tower.

The building facade will incorporate natural materials such as zero-waste terracotta from the region and low-carbon concrete to minimise the carbon produced during the construction process.

Parts of the existing foundation and infrastructure will also be reused, which will reduce the need for materials and lower the carbon footprint of the building.

The building is also the first project under the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD) Incentive Scheme, which aims to encourage the conversion of existing, older office buildings in the CBD into mixed-use developments to rejuvenate the CBD.

Elon Musk has formally completed his US$44 billion (S$62 billion) acquisition of Twitter and immediately fired multiple top executives including CEO Parag Agrawal.

Reuters reported that Musk terminated Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal and legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde upon the deal's close, citing unnamed sources.

Agrawal and Segal were in Twitter's headquarters when the acquisition closed and they were escorted out, Reuters also reported.

The firing of general counsel Sean Edgett was reported by The New York Times and Washington Post.

Musk had previously accused the company's leadership team of misleading him over the number of spam accounts on the platform.

A Delaware judge had threatened to schedule a trial if no agreement was reached to finalise the purchase before a Oct. 28 deadline.

Addressed advertisers

Musk wrote in a Twitter post addressing advertisers that he was buying the company to help humanity and did not want it to become a "free-for-all hellscape".

"The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence," he wrote in an unusually long tweet.

The fear has been that Musk's purchase of the social media platform will open it up to more online toxicity and drive away users.

Musk told advertisers Twitter should be "warm and welcoming to all".

Dear Twitter Advertisers pic.twitter.com/GMwHmInPAS

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 27, 2022

This was what he wrote:

I wanted to reach out personally to share my motivation in acquiring Twitter. There has been much speculation about why I bought Twitter and what I think about advertising. Most of it has been wrong.

The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society.

In the relentless pursuit of clicks, much of traditional media has fueled and catered to those polarized extremes, as they believe that is what brings in the money, but, in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost.

That is why I bought Twitter. I didn't do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love. And I do so with humility, recognizing that failure in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.

That said, Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences! In addition to adhering to the laws of the land, our platform must be warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences, just as you can choose, for example, to see movies or play video games ranging from all ages to mature.

I also very much believe that advertising, when done right, can delight, entertain and inform you; it can show you a service or product or medical treatment that you never knew existed, but is right for you. For this to be true, it is essential to show Twitter users advertising that is as relevant as possible to their needs. Low relevancy ads are spam, but highly relevant ads are actually content!

Fundamentally, Twitter aspires to be the most respected advertising platform in the world that strengthens your brand and grows you enterprise. To everyone who has partnered with us, I thank you. Let us build something extraordinary together.

Have you ever gotten lost in a bus or MRT interchange?

For a senior with mild cognitive impairment, simply leaving the house can be a huge challenge as they are at great risk of losing their way.

When a group of four NUS researchers, aged 27 to 31, heard this experience recounted by a 54-year-old Queenstown resident, they realised the need for transport systems to be more dementia-friendly and rose to the challenge.

Getting lost

Though Singapore is well connected, it can be hard for senior commuters to find their way around.

In the past four years, more than 388 cases of seniors with dementia losing their way while using public transport were reported in Singapore.

The people that the team spoke to helped them realise the problem was twofold.

Complex interchanges were challenging to navigate due to the lack of underground landmarks and the overwhelming signages.

The team, composed of four digital health researchers, said they “wanted to challenge ourselves to design something outside of the healthcare system”.

They came up with a phone application for commuters that need help navigating using Augmented Reality (AR).

Simply input your destination, and the app will show you the way.

The user-friendly interface would be available in multiple languages, with audio and visual cues for differently abled individuals.

It also has built-in safety features so seniors can share their journey with others.

The quartet named their idea MANGO, which stands for Mobile Assistive Navigation for Guiding Older commuters.

With this proposal, the team won S$5,000 prize money at Huawei’s Tech4City Competition, which they plan to use to continue developing MANGO.

With the help of Huawei’s machine learning kit and cloud, the MANGO app can locate users in the interchange using bluetooth speakers and image recognition.

Huawei’s AR library will also help them to generate displays like these:

The team members, whose day jobs involve using technology to provide remote personalised care to patients, said the competition helped them learn how to better consider the needs of their user base.

“Technology that is intuitive to us may not be intuitive for our intended population,” said the team.

The team hopes to pilot MANGO at Woodlands Integrated Transport Hub (ITH), the island’s largest interchange, and eventually expand into other transport hubs in Singapore.

Solutions for a better cultural market and deaf inclusivity

Another team that shared the podium with MANGO at the competition finals on Sep. 27 was Homegrown Heroes.

The group of three young adults said they took inspiration during their wedding preparation which introduced them to a “rich cultural market” consisting of tailors, ring-makers, cobblers, florists and photographers.

They ideated a platform for customers and artisanal merchants to boost Singapore’s cultural landscape and to help consumers to make more informed decisions.

Finally, the grand prize of S$10,000 went to a team of NUS students who developed a translation programme for the Deaf.

They developed an AI-driven smart glove and programme capable of translating sign language into text/voice and vice versa.

Working with SGEnable, SMRT and SPD, the See Your Voice team plans to deploy their solution in Singapore this year, priced as S$10 a month.

Tech4City Competition

Held for the first time, this year’s Huawei Tech4City Competition attracted 368 participants from local universities and polytechnics, saw 141 team proposals relating to three themes: Neighbour, Nature and Culture.

The ideation competition empowers youth to come up with innovative solutions for a more sustainable and livable Singapore using digital technologies.

Huawei is investing US$50 million to cultivate 500,000 talents through talent development initiatives by 2026 as part of its five-year plan.

Eligible Tech4City finalist teams can also be fast-tracked to Huawei’s Seeds for the Future programme and potentially earn an internship with Huawei.

“Tech4City was conceptualised to empower local youths with the tools to take control of their future by building ideas to create interconnected, sustainable and ultimately, a better Singapore,” said CEO of Huawei International Foo Fang Yong.

Low Yen Ling, Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth and Minister of State for Trade and Industry was the guest-of-honour at the event.

She said that the competition is an “excellent platform for our youths to brainstorm and develop ideas to tackle salient and urgent issues” that “raises our youth’s awareness of how digitalization and sustainability can be positive forces in solving today’s challenges and bringing our world forward”.

The Tech4City Competition is held annually. If you have an interesting idea to pitch for the competition, you can keep an eye out for registrations here.
