'Sovereign' woman accused of failing to wear mask in public faces two additional charges

Quote:
Singaporean Paramjeet Kaur, 41, who wore a mask in court, is now accused of failing to wear one over her nose and mouth at an Upper Thomson Road food stall at around 7.45pm on April 26.

She is also said to have failed to report her change of home address to a registration officer within 28 days after she moved in November last year.

Court documents state that she had moved from a flat at Block 34, Whampoa West to a house in Jalan Ikan Merah near Upper Thomson Road.

Kaur is now represented by lawyer Anil Singh Sandhu. Lawyer Satwant Singh is no longer representing her.

The Singapore-born woman did not state her full name when asked to do so in court on Tuesday.

Instead, Mr Anil Singh was the one who confirmed to District Judge Adam Nakhoda that she is his client.

When Kaur was later asked if she understood her additional charges, she replied: “I’m a living woman. I reserve my rights.” :s13:

Her bail was set at $10,000 on Tuesday and the case has been adjourned to June 2.

Retiree whose son is unwell walks 20-25 mins for free packets of economical rice

Quote:
Singapore — Some people walk 20 to 25 minutes to get a free packet of economical rice, according to Workers’ Party politician Yee Jenn Jong.

Mr Yee, a former Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP), said this in a Facebook post on Sunday (May 17). It was during his initiative to give out free packets of food that he learned about people having to walk some distance to collect them.

He explained that, since the first day of the circuit breaker to prevent the spread of Covid-19, he had been giving free food each morning near his house as a volunteer with an essential social service provider.

“That was in response to fill the void left by several RCs which could not do their distribution any more,” he added.

Opening up the food distribution to a second location, he said: “Thankfully, the logistics for the first location has been stabilised and we had even increased from giving 80 packets daily to now 200 packets. So we took up the challenge to start a second location.”

It was during the daily food distribution that he got to meet and get to know some of the people who came by for the packets of economical rice.

“Am surprised that some walk 20-25 mins each day from nearby estates to here. One is a retiree who has a son with a medical condition to look after and he said he needed to keep his savings for the daily medication,” he wrote.

Mr Yee also said that on Sunday, as he was giving out food packets, a young lady who is a foreign student came and gave him five S$10 supermarket vouchers. “She has been collecting food every day for the old Singaporean lady she lives with. The old lady is not able to walk so these vouchers are of no use to her but she looks forward to our daily cooked food,” he added.

Nasdaq to tighten listing rules, restricting Chinese IPOs

Nasdaq Inc <NDAQ.O> is set to unveil new restrictions on initial public offerings (IPOs), a move that will make it harder for some Chinese companies to debut on its stock exchange, people familiar with the matter said on Monday.

While Nasdaq will not cite Chinese companies specifically in the changes, the move is being driven largely by concerns about some of the Chinese IPO hopefuls' lack of accounting transparency and close ties to powerful insiders, the sources said.

At a time of escalating tensions between the United States and China over trade, technology and the spread of the novel coronavirus, Nasdaq's new curbs on Chinese IPOs represent the latest flashpoint in the financial relationship between the world's two largest economies.

Nasdaq also unveiled some restrictions on listings last year, seeking to curb IPOs by small Chinese companies. Their shares often trade thinly because most stay in the hands of a few insiders. Their low liquidity makes them unattractive to many large institutional investors, to whom Nasdaq is seeking to cater to.




The new tightening of the listing standards reflects the bourse operator's concerns about some Chinese companies seeking U.S. IPOs. Last month, Luckin Coffee <LK.O>, which had a U.S. IPO in early 2019, announced that an internal investigation had shown its chief operating officer and other employees fabricated sales deals.

The new rules will require companies from some countries, including China, to raise $25 million in their IPO or, alternatively, at least a quarter of their post-listing market capitalization, the sources said.

This is the first time Nasdaq has put a minimum value on the size of IPOs. The change would have prevented several Chinese companies currently listed on the Nasdaq from going public. Out of 155 Chinese companies that listed on Nasdaq since 2000, 40 grossed IPO proceeds below $25 million, according to Refinitiv data.

Small Chinese firms pursue these IPOs because they allow their founders and backers to cash out, rewarding them with U.S. dollars they cannot easily access because of China’s capital controls. The companies also use their Nasdaq-listed status to convince lenders in China to fund them and often get subsidies from Chinese local authorities for becoming publicly traded.




The proposed rules will also require auditing firms to ensure that their international franchises comply with global standards, the sources said. Nasdaq will also inspect the auditing of small U.S. firms that audit the accounts of Chinese IPO hopefuls, the sources added.

U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox Business in an interview last week that he was looking "very strongly" at requiring Chinese companies that list in New York to follow U.S. accounting standards. But he noted that "the problem with that" was that Chinese companies could decide to list in London or Hong Kong instead.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been locked in a decade-long struggle with the Chinese government to inspect audits of U.S.-listed Chinese companies. The regulator’s accounting oversight arm, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), is still unable to access those critical records, it has said.

The PCAOB, which was set up by the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act and is overseen by the SEC, is tasked with policing the accounting firms that sign off on the books of the nation’s listed companies. Its problems with Chinese audit quality have been festering since 2011, when scores of Chinese companies trading on U.S. exchanges were accused of accounting irregularities.

The SEC is planning to host a roundtable this summer for companies, auditors, advisers and other parties to discuss issues with IPOs of foreign companies and their accounting disclosures, one of the sources said.

Fewer going bankrupt due to the wide-ranging Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act

May 18, 2020, 9:49 pm

The number of bankruptcy applications came down sharply last month after rising to a 40-month high the previous month, a change legal experts attribute to the new Covid-19 law.

Bankruptcy applications fell to 160 from 462, a drop of 65 per cent, according to the Insolvency Office website which shows monthly figures for the past 40 months.

It reverses a general uptrend that hit a 40-month peak in March.

Likewise, bankruptcy orders also plunged last month to 22 - falling below 50 for the first time in the 40 months.

The decline in these new orders is the lowest in recent years, a Ministry of Law spokesman told The Straits Times.

Industry players attribute the drop to the wide-ranging Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act, as well as the circuit breaker measures.

In a recent joint op-ed piece in The Straits Times, former attorney-general V K Rajah and Singapore Management University professor Goh Yihan said the Act provides legal relief for individuals and businesses hit by the coronavirus pandemic.

The Act was passed by Parliament on April 7 and took effect on April 20.

"By imposing a moratorium on certain legal actions or - as Minister for Law K. Shanmugam put it, a 'legal circuit breaker' - the Act provides temporary and targeted protection for businesses and individuals who cannot perform particular types of contractual obligations due to Covid-19," the duo wrote.

"The Act, therefore, gives parties precious 'breathing space' to negotiate and resolve their differences, preserving their liquidity," they said.

Underscoring the importance of interim relief provided by the Act for those commercially affected by the pandemic, they added that "the Minister for Law has rightly observed that we should be looking at equity and justice, rather than just the enforcement of strict contractual obligations".

Mr Rajah, who is also a former Supreme Court judge of appeal, is now an international arbitrator. Professor Goh is dean of the School of Law, Singapore Management University.

The relief measures for bankruptcy include raising the threshold for issuing a statutory demand to an individual debtor, from $15,000 to $60,000.

The Act also raised the statutory period for debtors to respond to demands for repayment from 21 days to six months.

This will naturally lead to the filing of fewer bankruptcy applications, said insolvency lawyer Prakash Pillai.

He also cited other contributory factors, such as the circuit breaker measures, which led to the courts hearing only urgent or essential matters since April 7.

"Bankruptcy is not considered an essential matter, and all bankruptcy hearings other than those deemed urgent would have been adjourned to after June 1," added Mr Pillai, who heads the dispute resolution and insolvency practices at Clyde & Co Clasis Singapore.

The Act offers temporary relief for six months until Oct 19 but this could be extended for another six months.

Said Mr Rajah at a recent SMU webinar: "If parties are sensible, the breathing space will allow them opportunity to renegotiate pragmatically and to come up with business arrangements they can live with."

GPGT - Japanese Company OBI Holdings Shows Solidarity With Singapore Donating 200,000 Masks

Singapore, Singapore - May 18, 2020 /MarketersMedia/ — The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the nation's preparation in many ways including the availability of Personal Protective Equipment. While Singapore has been well-prepared, some companies have also done their best to help the common good. One highlight of this is Japanese owned company based in Singapore OBI HOLDINGS PTE LTD (head office located at 83 Clemenceau Avenue, #15-01 UE Square, Singapore 239920, President/CEO: Kaname Nagayama). OBI Holdings, considering the continuing situation in Singapore regarding COVID-19, have been happy to help, importing two hundred thousand surgical masks from Japan. These masks have been donated to KK Women's and Children's Hospital, the largest hospital in Singapore, the Migrant Workers' Centre (MWC), and foreign workers' support NGO, Itsrainingraincoats. The mask donations have been met with enthusiasm.

In Singapore, even in mid-May, the spread of COVID19 has continued in some of the expats' residential areas, and thus, the government has mandated the wearing of masks for all citizens while outside their homes, to prevent the spread of the virus. Due to this situation, OBI Holdings foresaw that shortages of masks would likely continue. This motivated and inspired the company's CSR team to import masks from its native Japan to donate to the aforementioned groups to help alleviate shortages.

The team at OBI Holdings were very pleased to be able to help.

'Although we had never experienced importing items before, and we had experienced a few problems trying to understand the required procedures and documents, the transportation company and Singapore's Health Sciences Authority understood our intentions and provided immense help in realising this endeavour,' commented CSR working team leader, HR manager Ms. Minori Anzai. 'We hope that our actions will help support Singapore, the country where we live and love so much, and its foreign workers' community.'

Singapore doctors on COVID-19 frontlines feel safe, confident: new study

SINGAPORE — The Chinese national presented a puzzle for Dr Chua Ying Xian, 34, and his team who had been deployed to a migrant worker dormitory to screen workers for COVID-19. The team was also there to help manage any chronic medical conditions.

The worker had complained of a fever, stomach pains, headache and chest pains – but none of the symptoms really fit the profile of a coronavirus case. His vital signs were also good, while checks revealed that the man did not actually have a fever.

“Upon reflection and further questioning, he finally revealed that he was actually very stressed. He really couldn't communicate with his family back home for a prolonged period of time. So that also created more stress to him, as well as worry about whether he will lose his job (if he tested positive).”

The family physician and deputy head of Pioneer Polyclinic told Yahoo News Singapore that he is worried about the “mental stressors” that many migrant workers are subject to amid the pandemic. “It's no longer just about COVID, and it's no longer just about diagnosing them. It's about managing them for the long run.”

He added that mental health worries will also be an issue for the local population. “Just like any other chronic diseases, these will continue to pose a challenge for us in the coming months, when we do get better control over the COVID situation.”

Dr Chua is one of thousands of medical frontliners battling COVID-19 day after day – and a new study says primary care physicians (PCP) in Singapore like him have a high level of commitment to their work, as well as confidence in their work environment.

Some 216 PCPs took the online survey, which consisted of questions on work and non-work-related concerns, impact on personal and work life, level of pandemic preparedness, stress reduction factors, and personal coping strategies related to COVID-19.

Some 90 per cent felt safe with the equipment and support, and are prepared for the fight, while 93 per cent disagreed that they would leave their profession because of the risks of infection. About 91.9 per cent also accepted the risk of infection as part of the job and that patient care comes first.

The study is a collaboration between Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, National University Polyclinics, National University Health System and College of Family Physicians of Singapore. It’s said to be the first study in the region examining the social and psychological impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on PCPs.

Like Dr Chua, Dr Hou Minsheng, 32, has been on the COVID-19 frontlines since Dorscon Orange was declared by authorities. Under the “orange” level of the Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (Dorscon), a disease is considered to be severe and spreads easily from person to person, but the disease has not spread widely in Singapore and is contained.

Alongside his colleagues, Dr Hou rotates regularly into the Red Zone at Choa Chua Kang Polyclinic. It is where patients who have had a history of fever or any respiratory tract symptoms are placed. The father of two spends up to eight hours a day swathed in Personal Protective Equipment, which includes a mask, goggles, surgical gown and cap.

Asked if the outfit feels claustrophobic, he agreed. “We to try to drink up before (putting on the PPE), but not too much, otherwise you have to keep going to the toilet. And at the same time, sometimes people do feel nauseous or unwell, so we will get them to de-gown and take a rest before (working) again.”

Alluding to how his goggles can mist up while decked out in PPE, Dr Hou explained the need to guard against “literally clouded judgement” while on duty. “When we are in the Red Zone, we have to keep a high level of vigilance for alternative diagnosis because not everybody who comes in with fever or respiratory symptoms has COVID.”

One particular patient presented with a fever, as well as shortness of breath and chest pains. “We did an ECG and we found that it was a serious form of heart attack and we immediately activated an ambulance to bring him to the hospital, where he received an emergency balloon and stent,” he recalled.

Dr Hou has also become extra cautious about hygiene - on days when he is in the Red Zone, he brings a separate change of clothes to work. Once home, he washes his hands, puts his dirty clothes in a separate laundry load and showers before he interacts with his family. “Sometimes, I feel a heartache. The first thing I would normally do otherwise, when I come home is to give them a hug, greet my wife and my children and talk to them.”

Both Dr Chua and Dr Hou admitted to feeling anxious at the start of the outbreak, when little was known about the coronavirus or its modes of transmission. “I would say that I'm glad to have been placed where I am now, to be able to serve my community this way,” said Dr Hou.

“So, over and above the little bit of anxiety is just being in a privileged position to do this at this point in time. I'm actually grateful for the opportunity. And I think these sentiments are shared by most of my colleagues.”
