AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Birth-rate policy debate: PM Lawrence Wong told Singapore Press Club he wants to move beyond baby bonuses, shifting focus to improving the overall quality of life for families—prompting scepticism from some Singaporeans about whether incentives alone can’t fix the record-low fertility problem. Scam warnings: A Singapore TikTok creator shared how she nearly fell for a phone scam claiming a Maybank credit-card transaction over S$4,000, highlighting tactics like “manager” transfers and pressure to verify details. Regional security ties: The Philippines and Canada signed new defence agreements in Ottawa, including a Mutual Logistics Support Arrangement, expanding cooperation on cybersecurity, information sharing and maritime activities, and building on a Visiting Forces pact still awaiting Senate and presidential ratification. Singapore-AI safety push: IMDA partnered with Microsoft to explore ways to test the safety of frontier AI models, reinforcing Singapore’s push to set guardrails as GenAI spreads. Court and governance watch: Singapore High Court stayed contempt-related jail orders against Byju Raveendran pending appeal, keeping the legal fight in motion. Local business continuity: M1 reassured customers after Simba’s takeover plan collapsed, saying plans, pricing and contracts will not change. Housing pipeline: A guide to the June 2026 BTO launch outlined 6,860 flats across seven projects, including new supply in areas like Berlayar and Lakeview. International business and tech: Singapore-linked developments included a push to expand AI-ready data centre capacity and continued cross-border investment outreach, while global headlines also flagged US export controls affecting frontier AI access.
