SGLastništvo in razvrstitev
Ustanovljeno: 1845
Lastništvo
The Straits Times, ustanovljen leta 1845, je vodilni angleški dnevnik v Singapurju, ki ga je objavil SPH Media Trust (SMT). SMT je bil ustanovljen julija 2021 kot neprofitno podjetje, omejeno z jamstvom, potem ko je bil medijski posel ločen od Singapore Press Holdings.
Financiranje
SMT deluje na neprofitnem modelu, ki ga financirajo oglaševanje in naročnine, ki jih dopolnjuje znatna vladna podpora. Singapurska vlada je obljubila do 900 milijonov singapurskih dolarjev v petih letih od leta 2022, ki so vezani na doseganje in cilje sodelovanja.
Pripadnost in usmeritev
The Straits Times je strukturno povezan s singapursko državo in je široko sprejet kot odraz linije vladajoče ljudske akcijske stranke o nacionalnih vprašanjih. Ker je pod nadzorom in bistveno financiran s strani državnih interesov, ne pa neodvisnih zasebnih lastnikov, je razvrščen kot DEPENDENT (ki ustreza oznaki DEPENDENT/CENTER_RIGHT na spletnem mestu).

Turbulence incidents on SIA, Scoot flights in June 2025 resulted in injuries to crew
In June 2025, two turbulence incidents involving Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Scoot flights resulted in injuries to eight cabin crew members, including two serious cases. These events were investigated by the Transport Safety Investigation Bureau (TSIB), whose findings were released in early 2026. During an SIA flight descending toward Shanghai Pudong International Airport, turbulence caused one crew member to be seriously injured and five others to sustain minor injuries. On a separate Scoot flight bound for Guangzhou, turbulence led to one serious injury and one minor injury. According to the investigation, the pilots of the SIA flight chose a narrow path between two weather cells during descent, despite guidelines suggesting a safer distance of at least 20 nautical miles from such areas. The pilots relied heavily on weather radar but faced challenges in visibility and decision-making under time constraints.

The Singaporean Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has launched a public tender for a 3.72-hectare mixed-use site in the Jurong Lake District (JLD), known as the Town Hall Link plot.

Man who tried to rape former flatmate gets heavier sentence after losing appeal
A 32-year-old man named Gao Xiong, who attempted to rape his former flatmate, had his prison sentence increased after failing to overturn his conviction in an appeal. Originally sentenced to six years, six months, and six weeks in prison plus three strokes of the cane, his sentence was extended to seven years, seven months, and six weeks by the Court of Appeal. During his appeal, Gao claimed confusion about his guilty plea and accused the victim of instigating the incident, even blaming her flatmate for preventing him from apologizing. The court found his behavior during the appeal to be an abuse of the judicial process and emphasized that he showed no remorse for his actions. Gao and the victim lived separately in a condominium before the incident occurred, and the victim reported him to the police after he persistently harassed her.
S’pore wants to help Timor-Leste contribute to ASEAN, not just benefit from it: PM Wong
Prime Minister Lawrence Wong of Singapore emphasized during his visit to Timor-Leste that Singapore aims to assist the nation not only in benefiting from its recent ASEAN membership but also in contributing meaningfully to the regional bloc. Timor-Leste officially joined ASEAN on October 26, 2025, after applying in 2011 and gaining observer status in 2022. Wong highlighted Singapore's commitment to supporting Timor-Leste's integration into ASEAN, including organizing workshops on ASEAN chairmanship responsibilities and facilitating exchanges between Timorese officials and Singapore's leadership. He also noted the historical ties between the two nations, particularly Singapore's early involvement in Timor-Leste's independence efforts. The visit coincided with Timor-Leste's transition to full ASEAN membership, offering opportunities for enhanced bilateral cooperation.
Two men handed jail terms for unlicensed remittance operation; $10m collected from migrant workers
Two Indian nationals, Angappan Arivalagan and Durairaj Kulothungan, were sentenced to prison for operating an illegal remittance scheme that siphoned $10.2 million from migrant workers' accounts. The men used stolen ATM cards and PINs to withdraw funds, which they converted into goods like laptops and gold to smuggle out of Singapore to India. Their activities were uncovered in July 2023 after a member of the public reported suspicious transactions. Police later found 51 ATM cards and nearly $75,000 in cash on Durairaj upon his arrest. Both men were convicted under Singapore’s Payment Services Act and Computer Misuse Act. Angappan received a 15-month sentence with a $6,000 fine, while Durairaj got eight months in jail. Prosecutors described the operation as sophisticated and emphasized the need for deterrence against unlicensed financial activities.
Two men jailed 20 days each for trying to bribe Sembcorp Marine employee, who rejected them
Two men, Chen Changcheng and Xiao Zhongfeng, were each sentenced to 20 days in prison for attempting to bribe an employee of Sembcorp Marine (now Seatrium) with a share of potential contracts worth millions of dollars. The men, who were involved in the shipping and oil and gas industries respectively, planned to offer a 1–2% commission to an ex-colleague of Sembcorp Marine in exchange for favoring their firm, MGW Technologies, in bidding processes. However, the ex-colleague rejected the offer. The case highlights Singapore's strict stance against corruption, with prosecutors emphasizing the importance of maintaining the country's reputation as a corruption-free environment. The men were convicted under Singapore's Prevention of Corruption Act, which allows for severe penalties including up to five years in prison or fines.

Štirim moškim grozi skupno pet obtožb po največjem zaseganju nezakonito uvoženih Kpodov v Singapurju.
Štirje Singapurci se soočajo s skupno petimi obtožbami, povezanimi z nezakonitim uvozom in distribucijo Kpodov, ki so naprave za vape, napolnjene z etomidatom, nadzorovano snovjo. V maju so oblasti pri Woodlands Checkpointu zaplenile 12.273 Kpodov v vrednosti več kot 800.000 dolarjev iz 161 skritih paketov v avtu. Trije moški Michael Jordan Tan Wei Hui, Kong Qi Cong in Willy Poh Wei Li so obtoženi posedovanja Kpodov, medtem ko se Tobias Tan Wei An sooča z dvema obtožbama, vključno z nezakonito trgovino z drogami razreda C.
Osebni podatki 70.000 ljudi ogroženi v kršitvi podatkov, ki vključuje dobavitelja SLA, IBM
V Singapurju je bila prijavljena kršitev podatkov, ki je prizadela približno 70.000 posameznikov, v kateri so bili vpleteni singapurski zemljiški organ (SLA) in njegov dobavitelj IBM. Kršitev je nastala zaradi nepooblaščenega dostopa do podatkovnega niza, ustvarjenega leta 1998 za razvojne in preskusne namene, ki je nenamerno vključeval osebne podatke, kot so imena, številke nacionalne registracijske osebne izkaznice (NRIC) in naslovi nepremičnin. SLA je potrdila, da podatki niso bili pravilno anonimizirani in da je bil prizadet sistem ločen od operativnih sistemov, kar pomeni, da so živi sistemi in zapisi o nepremičnini ostali varni. SLA je začela obveščati prizadete posameznike in sodeluje z IBM, GovTech in Agencijo za kibernetsko varnost, da preverijo incident in izvedejo popravne ukrepe.
