The dry and warm weather experienced over Singapore and the surrounding region in the first fortnight of the month are forecast to persist in the second half of February 2019 due to stable atmospheric conditions arising from the presence of a dry air mass over the Southeast Asia region.

The Meteorological Service Singapore stated that the prevailing dry phase of the Northeast Monsoon season over Singapore and the surrounding region is expected to extend into the second half of February 2019. During the period, the low level winds are forecast to weaken and blow from the north or northeast.

In the early part of the second fortnight, localized short-duration thundery showers can still be expected in the afternoon on some days due to strong daytime heating of land areas coupled with convergence of winds over Singapore and the surrounding vicinity.

The service stated that the showers could extend into the evening on one or two of these days. Overall, it noted the rainfall for February 2019 is likely to be well-below normal.

With dry and warm conditions expected for the rest of the month, the service said that the daily maximum temperature could rise to around 34°C especially on days with little or no rain and when winds are light. On most days, the daily temperatures are forecast to range between 24°C and 33°C.

雅加达2050年内恐沉降,印尼拟迁都

拥有世界第二大城市之称的印尼首都雅加达(Jakarta),因地层下陷原因,预计将于2050年沉入水中,决定迁都,以达到区域平行发展及解决首度人口过多的问题。 根据当地媒体报道,印尼国家发展规划部长班帮(Bambang Brodjonegoro)在内阁会议结束后表示,总统佐科.维多多(Joko.Widodo)决定将首都迁离爪哇岛,而且迁都预计耗时10年。 班帮还说,印尼总人口数为2亿,而爪哇岛人口数竟占57巴仙,导致人口过度膨胀,印尼各地区域无法均衡发展,故总统希望透过迁都,也可以同时拉抬印尼东部发展。但班帮并未详说具体迁都细节。 印尼雅加达是号称世界第二大城市,也是印尼目前主要金融中心,目前人口约一千万左右,但也是全世界地面沉降速度最快的国家之一。 不同于其他国家,印尼雅加达除了面临全球暖化影响,超抽地下水也让市区地层快速下陷,以致近年都因大雨而面临严重水灾。 据报道指出,印尼政府目前有三项措施,分别为:首都依然为雅加达,但将政府重要机关设置在总统府与独立纪念碑附近;再来是将首都迁到紧邻雅加达的城外;第三个将首都迁离城爪哇岛,移至内陆地区。 而目前热门候选城市是位于中加里曼丹省(Central Kalimantan province)的中部城市帕朗卡拉雅(Palangkaraya)。 数十年来,印尼的迁都议题多次被提出讨论,但自开国总统在1957年提出迁都提议后,虽然不时有迁都消息,但都无疾而终。 据BBC印尼语部前主编丽贝卡·亨施克(Rebecca…

不同意纪律审裁庭报告 林学芬:将在公堂力争之

去年初,总检察署投诉李显扬妻子林学芬专业行为失当,向新加坡律师公会提呈逾500页的投诉信。 纪律审裁庭去年7月举行五天聆讯,最终发表报告,裁定林学芬在处理建国总理李光耀遗嘱上失当,违反律师专业法令,并要求将她除名。 《海峡时报》星期刊报导引述审裁庭对林学芬妻子措辞严厉的批评,指责后者“不诚实,试图将证据形塑成自己是无辜受害者的形象”,以及“李显扬的行为也同样欺瞒。” 对此,李玮玲在今早(23日)于脸书发文,直言上述审裁庭的裁决“拙劣”(travesty)。 至于李显扬本身则在今晚发文,转述妻子林学芬对此事表达的的评述: “我不同意审裁庭的报告,届时在公堂审理时必将力争之。群众都能透过律师公会获取有关闭门审裁庭审讯的完整记录。我呼吁群众仔细审视之,以达致他们对此事的独立结论。” 我的律师,Kenneth Tan高级律师、温长明高级律师,以及Providence Law事务所,呈现了出色的辩护。我非常感谢他们。”
