SINGAPORE - Travellers flying with Singapore Airlines (SIA) will be able to view their Covid-19 test results and use them to check in at Changi Airport with a single app, potentially paving the way for travel without stay-home notices and quarantine. The software has been developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to make travel more seamless amid the pandemic. It works by integrating Covid-19 testing with passengers' boarding credentials. SIA is the world's first airline to use IATA's Travel Pass in a trial, which will begin with passengers flying from Singapore to London from March 15 to 28. If this proves a success, the app could could be rolled out globally. SIA said on Monday (March 8) that the trial could allow it to use the framework for its own SingaporeAir mobile app as early as mid-2021. "Participants will have full control over how their personal information is shared, as the data is stored locally in the mobile phone and not in any central ... » Learn More about SIA trials app for Covid-19 test booking and check-in

DAILY RIDE. Acting Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua arrives at the Neda on a bicycle. PHOTO FROM CHUA INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT MANILA, Philippines—As he now bikes to work from his Ortigas home to the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) office in Pasig City, acting Neda chief and Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua is urging more bicycle lanes and other measures to encourage workers to bike to work to beat the lack of public transportation. Chua told the Inquirer on Monday (March 8) that the last time he regularly rode a bike was back in his high school years, “then my bike got old and I never got to do it again.” But since he was designated by President Rodrigo Duterte to head Neda in 2020, Chua said he resumed biking “partly for health reasons, to make me exercise more.” Chua got for himself a beginner, folding Tern bike, noting that bikes in general are less expensive than cars—one can buy them for as low as P4,000, to as high as ... » Learn More about Neda chief speaks from experience, urges more, safer bicycle lanes

Covid-19 made its US debut in Washington state, but the virus was only the first of several intruders to attack the state in the past year. Last spring, cybercriminals breached the state’s unemployment system. Washington was one of the states affected by the massive SolarWinds hack, which was discovered in December. And in February, the state auditor’s office disclosed that fraudsters had exposed the personal information of more than a million residents. “We have a serious governance and oversight problem,” said Washington state Sen. Reuven Carlyle, a Democrat who chairs the Senate Environment, Energy & Technology Committee. “The state auditor breach is historically serious, on every level. And we’ve had four or five major cyber incidents in the last year.” Rocked by the massive SolarWinds hack, unemployment system breaches and other attacks, several states are trying to bolster their cybersecurity in the midst of the public health crisis. “If there’s ever been a year to ... » Learn More about Hackers seized on the pandemic, but some US states are fighting back

SINGAPORE - Quality pre-school education will be made more accessible, so that children in Singapore can have a good start in life. Annual spending by the Government on the early childhood sector is set to double to more than $2 billion per year within the next few years, Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat announced on Tuesday (Feb 18). This is up from the $1 billion spent in 2018. "Good education provides a strong foundation for children to grow, realise their aspirations, and continue a journey of lifelong learning," he said. "We are determined to give every child, regardless of circumstances, a good start in life." The move is among a raft of measures announced to make quality education across all levels more accessible and affordable. Many of the measures are focused on helping students from lower-income families, putting them on a more equal footing with others. Mr Heng said: "This substantial investment is how we maximise every child's potential, regardless of family ... » Learn More about Singapore Budget 2020: More help to ensure every Singaporean student can reach potential, regardless of family income

The United Nations (UN) projects the Philippine economy to bounce back this year, albeit below the government’s official target range, as downside risks remain high. In its “World Economic Situation Report and Prospects 2021,” the New York-based global body said the country’s gross domestic product could rebound by 6.2 percent from last year’s 9.5-percent contraction. If proven true, the figure would miss hitting the government’s official forecast range of 6.5 to 7.5 percent. “In the Philippines, a recovery in remittance inflows over the outlook period would help to boost domestic demand,” the UN said. This view is consistent with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ forecast of a 4-percent growth in overseas Filipino worker (OFW) remittances this year. Latest data showed that money sent home by Filipinos abroad in January to November reached $29.98 billion, a 0.9-percent dip from $30.25 billion in the same period in 2019. “As migrant workers in host countries face employment ... » Learn More about PH economy to grow 6.2% in 2021, says UN
