High levels of Fipronil, a wide-spectrum pesticide, has been detected in iceberg lettuce from a Malaysian farm, which is imported by Go Fresh Impex Pte Ltd for sale at NTUC Fairprice and Sheng Siong supermarkets.

In a press release on Thursday (4 October), the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) stated that it has directed the importer to recall the implicated product and that the recall is ongoing.

Iceberg lettuce sold at NTUC FairPrice that are affected by the recall come with the supplier code 40.

AVA noted that consumers who have purchased the affected products may contact the respective supermarket retail outlets for enquiries.

It also said that as a good food safety practice, consumers should wash and soak vegetables to remove any pesticide residues, prior to cooking and consumption.

科威特立法限制外籍人士人数

同样面对本地居民就业需求增长,科威特将通过新的居住法,限制该国外籍人士人数。 科威特有超过400万人口,但70巴仙竟是外籍人士,该法试图将人数降至30巴仙的比例。 预计该法若通过,约有80万印度籍人士收到影响。科威特未来也将着重引进“技术”移民而非外籍劳工。 反观新加坡方面,原贸工部长陈振声,在本月2日上《联合早报》“报告选民”节目,指出调整外籍员工政策须考虑到企业可能面对的冲击,随意减少客工,将使得吸引外来投资变得困难。 他认为,若政府为高薪外籍员工设下限额,贸工部会很难争取到下一波的投资。“在短期内可能对国家没有什么太大的影响,不过我们的下一代就不会有更好的就业机会。”
