SIA step up security checks
Changi Airport, SIA step up security checks
Passengers flying to the US from Singapore can now expect stricter security checks, including body searches.
These are among the global stepped-up measures requested by US authorities, following a foiled bomb attack over Detroit on Christmas Day.
Singapore Airlines operates 35 flights to the United States every week.
And on Friday, security measures on-board were tightened to include - among other rules - requiring passengers to be seated during the final hour of the flight.
In-flight entertainment systems will also be shut off then, and blankets will have to be removed.
And like Hong Kong carrier Cathay Pacific and South Korea's Korean Air, the use of cabin phones will also be restricted.
But once travellers arrive in the US, they can also expect more security checks.

20-litre ruling takes effect now
20-litre ruling takes effect now
THE ban on the sale of petrol and diesel over 20 litres to foreign cars within a radius of 50km from any point of entry into the country will take effect today.
Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the ban, which was aimed at preventing the smuggling of petrol and diesel, would be in place until a new mechanism for the management of oil subsidy is implemented in May next year.
With the ruling, he said, only Singapore-registered vehicles were allowed to leave Malaysia with more than 20 litres in their tanks as the authorities in the republic had already imposed a ruling that all vehicles crossing its borders must have their tanks at least three-quaters full of fuel.
However, he said, if these vehicles needed to refuel within the 50km radius of the Singapore-Malaysia border, they were allowed to buy not more than 20 litres of fuel.

SIA quits Penang-Singapore route
SIA quits Penang-Singapore route after 30 years
After three decades of serving the Penang-Singapore air route, Singapore Airlines (SIA) has finally called it a day.
SIA decided to terminate its flights between the two islands on Dec 1 with the emergence of several budget airlines on the route.
“The mushrooming of the budget airlines in this region had eroded the traditional airline market, like the Penang-Singapore sector,” an industry insider said.
SilkAir, SIA’s regional wing, has taken over the route. SilkAir now flies three times daily between the two islands.

Foreign cars fuel limit
Foreign cars limited to 20 litres of fuel to curb smuggling
Foreign-registered vehicles will only be allowed to pump a maximum of 20 litres of fuel when travelling within a 50km radius from the border, said Domestic Trade, Co-operative and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
Enforcement authorities at the checkpoints were also directed to ensure such vehicles leave the country with no more than 20 litres of fuel in the tank, he said.
Ismail added that the directive would be implemented soon.
Ministry officers were in the midst of issuing a circular on the matter to petrol stations in the affected areas in Kedah, Kelantan, Johor, Sabah and Sarawak, he said.
“This measure is to curb the increasing cases of fuel smuggling, as the prices for fuel are subsidised and cheaper in Malaysia compared to those prices set by neighbouring countries such as Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia,” he said.
Ismail said for RON 95, it was sold at RM1.80 a litre in the country compared to RM4.01 in Thailand, RM4.31 in Singapore, RM2.26 in Indonesia and RM5.42 in the Philippines.
“It is unfair if foreigners get to enjoy the fuel subsidy provided by the Government,” he told reporters at the Parliament lobby here yesterday.
He said the decision to limit the sale was made under the Control of Supplies (Prohibition of Export) 2000 Regulation.
Ismail warned that petrol station operators caught selling fuel exceeding 20 litres to foreigners risk facing action from the ministry, such as having their licences withdrawn.
In May 2008, the then Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Samad had barred petrol stations located in border states like Johor and Perlis from selling petrol and diesel to foreign-registered cars.
However, this ban was subsequently rescinded following complaints.

Singapore travel advisory
Travellers advised to plan journey when using land checkpoints
With the National Day holiday coming up on 9 August 2009, traffic flow through the land checkpoints at Woodlands and Tuas is expected to be heavy over the coming long weekend. For departures, the traffic build-up is expected to start from Thursday (6 August). For arrivals, traffic is expected to be particularly heavy on Sunday and Monday (9 and 10 August). Travellers intending to use the land checkpoints during the peak periods should take note of the following messages.
Travellers Have a Part to Play
2 The best way to avoid the congestion is to adjust your travel plans and avoid the peak periods altogether. With enhanced security checks, traffic build-up is inevitable, particularly when a large number of travellers want to use the checkpoints at the same time.
3 If you really need to travel during the peak periods, you can play a part to ease congestion at the land checkpoints by maintaining lane discipline. To avoid the congestion at the checkpoints, you are also encouraged to car-pool or make use of public transport. Singaporean travellers with valid passports and who are registered with the National Registration Office can use the eIACS (Enhanced Immigration Automated Clearance System) lanes at the Bus Halls for immigration clearance. The eIACS allows you to clear immigration through automated lanes within 12 seconds at no additional cost.
4 Travellers are reminded to ensure that they are carrying their own passports before presenting themselves for immigration clearance at the checkpoints. ICA has detected a number of cases where travellers presented the wrong passports for immigration clearance. This has affected clearance efficiency and caused inconvenience to other travellers.
5 In addition, travellers should also make sure that they do not bring unlawful or prohibited goods into Singapore. The list of controlled and prohibited items is set out on ICA’s website http://www.ica.gov.sg.
Traffic Information
6 Travellers departing Singapore by land will be able to know in advance the traffic situation at Tuas and Woodlands Checkpoint from the LTA's Expressway Monitoring & Advisory System (EMAS) installed along AYE and BKE respectively. You can also call the traffic information hotline at 6863-0117, listen to TrafficWatch on the radio or visit LTA's One Motoring website (http://www.onemotoring.com.sg) to check on the latest traffic conditions at the land checkpoints before embarking on your journey.
Security is Our Utmost Concern
7 Our borders are our first line of defence in safeguarding Singapore's security. The enhanced security checks are critical to our nation’s security. ICA will put in every effort and continue to take the necessary measures to improve clearance efficiency as much as possible without compromising security. We seek your understanding and cooperation, as your security is our utmost concern.

Singapore confirms 91 new H1N1 cases
Singapore confirms 91 new H1N1 cases, bringing total to 969
The Health Ministry (MOH) says it plans to stop listing affected countries on its website soon, as more countries stop reporting their cases.
It also says travel advisories are becoming less useful, as the risk of picking up the virus at home or overseas has evened.
It adds that the virus strain remains mild, except for high—risk individuals with underlying medical conditions where complications and even deaths can occur.

No more travel advisories
No more travel advisories
Last night, the Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) said it would no longer issue travel advisories to Singaporeans. It said such advisories had become less useful, as the risk of catching H1N1, whether in an affected country or in Singapore, is about equal.
Eventually, MOH will also drop the list of countries with confirmed victims, and those that have exported cases to Singapore, as more countries have stopped reporting confirmed cases. For now, however, it will retain the list on its website.

WHO declares H1N1 flu pandemic
WHO declares H1N1 flu pandemic
GENEVA: The A(H1N1) flu crisis has escalated into the world's first influenza pandemic in 40 years, the World Health Organisation declared on Thursday, after infecting tens of thousands of people in 74 countries.
WHO Director General Margaret Chan said the declaration of a "moderate" pandemic should not spark panic and did not mean the death toll from A(H1N1), which currently stands at 144, would rise sharply.
The UN body said it was not recommending the closure of borders nor restrictions in movement of people, goods and services. But it warned the virus was spreading beyond the Americas where it was first detected in April.
"We will be raising our pandemic alert level to level six; and this means that the world is moving into the early days of its first influenza pandemic in the 21st century," Chan told reporters after a meeting of scientific experts.

Singapore's 15th flu case
Aunt of H1N1 patient becomes 15th case
SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Health (MOH)has confirmed another H1N1 case, bringing the total to 15 cases so far. The latest case is a 39-year-old Indonesian woman who is the aunt of an earlier case.
She went to Changi Airport to fetch her niece who returned from New York via Frankfurt on Monday. When the niece developed symptoms on Tuesday, the aunt brought her to Raffles Hospital by taxi.
The aunt had been on home quarantine and was given medication, but laboratory results confirmed on Saturday that she has been infected with the H1N1 virus. She has mild symptoms and is in stable condition.
Three of her family members have already been placed on Home Quarantine Order (HQO).
The Health Ministry said although the 15th case was started on chemoprophylaxis when she was served the home quarantine order, it should be noted that she could already have been infected through close contact with her niece prior to taking the medicine.

Singapore confirms three more H1N1 flu cases
The second confirmed case is a 43-year-old Singapore Permanent Resident who returned to Singapore from San Francisco via Manila on Tuesday (May 26) at 1750 hours.
She was on Singapore Airlines flight SQ 917 and was seated at 33H. She became unwell while on board.
The third confirmed case is a 28-year-old American woman working in Singapore. She returned to Singapore from Honolulu via Tokyo on Tuesday (May 26) at 2353 hours, on United Airlines flight UA 803. She was seated at 33C and became unwell on May 26.
The fourth confirmed case is a 28-year-old Singaporean man who returned to Singapore from Chicago via Hong Kong on May 25 at 0036 hours. He was on United Airlines flight UA 895 and was seated at 55H. He became unwell on May 25.
The Health Ministry has reminded those who have travelled in the preceding 7 days to affected countries to seek immediate medical attention once they develop influenza-like symptoms, and call 993 for an ambulance. This, it said, will help minimise the risk of infecting those around them.

S'pore reports 1st flu case
S'pore reports 1st flu case
SINGAPORE has reported its first patient infected with the new A(H1N1) flu strain. The patient, a 22-year-old Singaporean woman, had been in New York from May 14 to 24, and arrived here on Tuesday morning.
While seated in row 55 on Singapore Airlines flight SQ25, she began to develop a cough, but she passed the thermal scanner at the airport later without being stopped, because she did not have a fever at the time.

Is it safe to travel?
Is it safe to travel?
Yes. WHO is not recommending travel restrictions related to the outbreak of the influenza A(H1N1) virus. Today, global travel is commonplace and large numbers of people move around the world for business and leisure. Limiting travel and imposing travel restrictions would have very little effect on stopping the virus from spreading, but would be highly disruptive to the global community.
Influenza A(H1N1) has already been confirmed in many parts of the world. The global response now focuses on minimizing the impact of the virus through the rapid identification of cases, and providing patients with appropriate medical care, rather than on stopping its spread internationally.
Although identifying signs and symptoms of influenza in travellers can help track the path of the outbreak, it will not reduce the spread of influenza, as the virus can be transmitted from person to person before the onset of symptoms.
Scientific research based on mathematical modelling shows that restricting travel would be of limited or no benefit in stopping the spread of disease. Historical records of previous influenza pandemics, as well as experience with SARS, validate this.
