British Prime Minister David Cameron, who is currently in Indonesia on a regional tour, will make a two-day official visit to Singapore beginning tomorrow, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday.

“Prime Minister Cameron’s visit reaffirms the strong bilateral ties between Singapore and the United Kingdom as the two countries commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations this year,” said the statement.

Cameron’s visit will begin with a speech at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy on Tuesday, with an official welcome ceremony held on Wednesday. He will be met by President Tony Tan and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

Travelling with Cameron will be Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills Sajid Javid, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Amber Rudd and Minister of State for Trade Lord Francis Maude, Minister of State for Small Business Anna Soubry. They will also be accompanied by two business delegations.

During his trip, the British premier will also visit the Singapore Botanic Gardens, where an orchid will be named after him.

行动党社运份子猜测:选举或最早今年五月举行

一名不愿具名的人民行动党基层资深社运份子(activist)日前告知《海峡时报》,猜测选举最早在五月举行。 根据本地媒体《新报》(The New Paper)报导,这名社运份子认为疫情的稳定将影响召开选举的时间,但不认为会在下个月举行。 “我们需要等候黄循财部长早前提及的30天窗口-确保人民可以安全投票。” 故此他猜测只要情况稳定下来,选举最早在五月举行。“那么总理会启动按钮(动员)。我们不敢肯定,不过这也是我们预料的。”一些社运份子也猜测届时会以直播方式来取代群众集会。 早前国家发展部长黄循财在本月15日宣布,从16日起过去14天曾去过东盟(ASEAN)国家、瑞士、英国、日本等地的旅客、本地居民和长期准证持有者,都需要遵守14天的居家通知(Stay-Home Notice)。 《新报》也分析,选举不太可能在四月举行的原因之一,是选民册还待更新。总理早前的脸书贴文也释放这种信息,这过程需耗时一月。在那之后,国会才能解散和发出选举令状。 选区范围检讨委会在去年8月成立,历时近7个月后才在上周13日公布报告。根据以往经验,在报告出炉后,也昭示着选举已迫在眉睫。 不过,不论民间还是在野政党,早前都对疫情当下却有选举的风声表达关注。他们认为当前应专注抗疫,且尽量避免人群聚集。

27日起 所有入境者都要申报健康状况

根据移民关卡局文告,从本月27日早上9时起,所有入境新加坡者,不管是公民、永久居民、长期准证持有者(学生、工作准证持有者等),在通关时都要申报健康状况。 相信上述措施也是配合早前跨政府部门工作小组公布的新举措。 文告称入境者在抵境前三天,必须到抵境卡电子服务(SG Arrival Card Electronic Service)网页,填写并提交申报表。 当局援引《传染病法令》第55条,入境者需填写入境卡所有资料。若健康或旅游史有更动,也必须重新申报,若提供假资料则会被提控。 早前政府宣布从本月23日(周一)晚11时59分起,所有短期访客(short-term visitors )将不得入境或在新加坡转机。 即便我国公民、永久居民和长期准证持有者入境,都要遵守14天居家通知(Stay Home…
