“No definitely” to vandalism in Toa Payoh and SMRT cases: Indranee Rajah
Senior Minister of State for Law and Education Indranee Rajah had voiced out her displeasure about the two incidents of vandalism that happened last week. The first was an open insult to the People’s Action Party at the top of a HDB flat in Toa Payoh, and the second was to a train at Bishan MRT depot. ““If you have a viewpoint that you wish to express, there are ways and means of expressing it. You do not have to damage property to do that,” Ms Rajah was reported as saying.
 
Tougher laws against animal abuse?
Minister of State for National Development Desmond Lee indicated that his Ministry is looking at strengthening laws against animal abuse. “How you treat animals – like many other things that you deal with in life – is a reflection of how as a society we are maturing, (how) we’re advancing, and so it’s important for us to look at this aspect as well,” he was reported as saying.

四艘总价估计超过32亿元 防长:添购潜艇来得及时

昨日(18日),国防部长黄永宏和夫人黄瑞莲教授(新保集团总裁)前往北部靠海城市基尔(Kiel),为我国首艘量身订造的Type 218SG 潜艇长胜号(Invincible)主持命名和下水仪式。 由德国国防承包商蒂森克虏伯集团海事系统公司(ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems,简称TKms)制造,长胜号具有许多前卫功能,也是国防部向德国承包商所定订购的四艘潜艇之一。另外三艘被命名为精锐号(Impeccable)、卓越号(Illustrious),以及非凡号(Inimitable)。将于2022年交付。 根据业内人士早前的估测,首两艘潜艇的签购合约总价值料超过10亿欧元(相当于16亿新元)。四艘潜艇的造价总值可能高达32亿元。 黄永宏在接受媒体采访时表示,新加坡在海事领域上面临包括恐怖主义、非法走私军火和大杀伤武器和海盗活动的威胁。 他也提到,许多亚洲国家也在积极提升军事现代化,亚洲2017年的国防开支达4470亿美元,与2008年相比增加约61巴仙,例如中国、印尼、泰国、印度和南韩,都策划扩充潜艇期舰队。“在这种背景下,添购新型218SG潜艇适当其时。” 他补充,我国处在最繁忙的航海线路–南中国海和马六甲海峡,运送全球三分之一的海路贸易,所带来的吞吐活动也为我国贡献约7%的国民生产总值。 故此,他相信大多数人能接受我国海军的这项新决策,藉此在保障本区域海事线路上扮演关键角色,这不只为了新加坡,也进而捍卫全球海运权益。 长胜号潜艇的下水仪式,获得来自我国和德国的高级国防官员出席。在2021年交付我国前,长胜号将在德国进行测试。 新潜艇曾被比喻如“潜艇界宝马”…

不满河内川金会破局 金正恩处决对美谈判代表

据路透社引述南韩媒体报导,曾负责今年二月在越南举行的川金会,朝鲜对美特使金赫澈,疑今年三月已被处决。相信这是因为朝鲜领导人金正恩对川金会破局感不满。 虽然今年二月金正恩与美国总统川普会面,但未签署任何协议,被视为破局,为此有传金正恩严惩相关官员,进行大规模“清洗”。 有者也指金正恩可能想借”清洗“,来转移对内部动荡和不满的视线。 据《朝鲜日报》报导,一名不愿具名的朝鲜消息人士表示,金赫澈和另外四名外交官员,已在今年三月遭处决,并指控他们为美国进行间谍活动。 在此前,金赫澈一直都担任与美国代表比根(Stephen Biegun)谈判的角色。至于与美国国务卿蓬佩奥(Mike Pompeo)协商的统战部长金英哲(Kim Yong Chol)也传出被解职,进行劳改和思想教育,他曾是金正恩的爱将。 此外,在川金会上为金正恩作翻译的申信英,则被指在翻译上出现重大错误,破坏领导人权威也被关进政治犯集中营。曾在越南河内协助金正恩的胞妹金與正也被降职。 至于朝鲜国营报章《劳动新闻》(Rodong Sinmun),则在昨日的评论指”人前崇敬领袖,但砖头又想着其他事,乃是反党、反革命的行为,已经抛弃了对领袖的道德忠诚,如此之人不能回避革命的严厉的裁决。“…
