“Singapore’s survival depends on us staying open and doing business with the world. This means continually transforming our industries, enhancing existing capabilities and building new ones as we move into growth markets.
“This will cause disruptions to some existing jobs, but at the same time it will create new jobs with better prospects for the future,” the Prime Minister said.
Against this backdrop, Singapore will do more to professionalise skilled trades to create more pathways to success and to improve career planning support for Singaporeans.
Mr Lee said that these issues were being discussed during the Forward Singapore exercise, including how to help Singaporeans improve their work prospects and resilience, as well as transition to new jobs and careers.
He added that these will require a strong collaboration between tripartite partners – the Ministry of Manpower, the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the Singapore National Employers Federation – with the labour movement playing a key role.
He recalled how NTUC had worked closely with employers and employees to implement wage-cutting measures during the pandemic, with the management “taking the lead in wage cuts, to share the pain, sustain businesses and save jobs”.
“NTUC also set up the Job Security Council to redeploy workers from pandemic-hit sectors like aviation to other sectors needing more manpower like healthcare.
“Such efforts enabled us to come through COVID-19 united as one, and reinforced trust amongst the tripartite partners,” Mr Lee said.
The Prime Minister also said he is happy to see that worker training and upgrading programmes are “progressing well”, with employers providing training opportunities and encouraging workers to take them up.
He noted that more employers are also accommodating the changing needs of workers such as by implementing flexible work arrangements and redesigning jobs for older workers, which will help to improve productivity and retain talent.
“The government will continue to do its best to support Singaporeans,” Mr Lee said.
The Thai Sang Thai Party (TST) has pledged to elevate Thailand’s digital economy by offering government subsidies to newcomers and investing in them for future growth opportunities.
Considering Bank of Thailand (BoT) figures from January, it could be said that not only have all Thais been included in the digital economy, but they are also actively involved in digital economic activities, Thakorn Tanthasit, secretary-general of the TST, said on Saturday.
As of January, there were approximately 97 million mobile banking accounts and 124 million e-money accounts, he said, citing BoT data.
On top of that, Mr Thakorn said, up to 47 trillion baht has been paid electronically, accounting for up to 90% of all payments made in the country.
“All these factors reflect Thailand’s solid foundation for digital economy development which the TST believes will bring better economic opportunities for all,” he said.
Mr Thakorn said the party aims to improve the digital economy ecosystem (DEE) to support the country’s digital economy growth.
With a decent DEE, he said Thai start-ups will have a good chance to grow digitally, while the new government will try to limit the risk of failure for these business operators and make it more convenient for them to grow.
“The new government will find potential start-up operators and provide them with convenient sources of funding for their business development and then jointly invest in them later,” he said.
“Prospective start-up operators could be any youth or students in all parts of the country. These start-ups might be categorised in groups such as online marketplaces, content providers and digital services,” he said.
The TST has also pledged to offer debt-strapped people a soft loan of between 5,000 and 50,000 baht without requiring them to provide a guarantor, said Mr Thakorn, adding the interest rate will be about 1% per month.
“This loan scheme is aimed at helping people who are struggling to make ends meet and aren’t really successful as they have too much debt to pay back,” he said.
The TST also intends to offer all students free tablets and a free internet connection, via never-before-used funding from the Ministry of Education’s Edtech Fund.
ANIThe Indian government implemented new regulations in April that gave it the authority to label information related to it as” false, misleading, or false” if its private fact check unit deemed it to be so.
Social media intermediaries like Twitter and Facebook are subject to the updated Information Technology ( IT ) Rules, which require them to remove content flagged by the government’s fact-checking unit.
These businesses risk losing their” safe harbor” status, which is a provision under the IT Act that shields them from being held responsible for third-party articles posted on their platforms, if they don’t agree.
The government has stated that it won’t notify the truth check item until 5 July, and the rules are being contested in court. This indicates that the new regulations may currently be put into effect.
However, the president’s action has sparked worries about potential negative effects on Indian press freedom.
The new regulations have been dubbed” draconian” and” against principles of natural justice and akin to censorship” by the Editors Guild of India. These new regulations were made without any significant visit with them, according to the Guild and India’s information broadcasters association.
Additionally, a stand-up actor has come forward with the court to challenge the new regulations.
Kunal Kamra of Mumbai has petitioned the Bombay High Court, claiming that the new regulations violate people’s freedom of speech and make the government the only one who can decide what is true” in respect of any company” that is related to it.
Additionally, they compel social media brokers to force customers to accept that edition of the truth.
Kamra claims that” the government possesses by far the largest microphone” around in society in his programs, which combine social and political irony. If retaliated against, it has access to” every available equipment, with the broadest possible have” to correct the record.
The comedian claimed that” as a political humorist ,” he engages in comment about public actions and relies on social media platforms and the vastness of the internet to share his work.
Kamra claimed that if his ability to write political satire were subjected to an” arbitrary, subjective” fact check unit that the government hand-picked, it would be” unreasonably and excessively curtailed.” This had” completely defeat the purpose of social satire ,” he continued.
The actor claimed that as a result of these new regulations, satirists may be forced to self-censor or limit their use of social commentary out of concern for legal repercussions.
He expressed concern that if the new regulations were applied to material produced by social satirists or comedians, their social media accounts might be suspended or deactivated.
The new regulations, on the other hand, were made in” the larger public interest ,” according to an affidavit from the Indian government to the court.
The rules, according to the government, called for an evidence-based fact-checking system to develop a mechanism to work with the kind of false, misleading, or misleading information that, in the past,” has resulted in riots, mob lynching, and some terrible crimes.”
Additionally, it stated that the content the machine would check would only be related to official policies, programs, notifications, rules, and regulations, as well as their application.
The government informed the court that” the truth check unit perhaps only find false, misleading, or misleading information and not any opinion, satire or creative impression.”
However, the court previously stated that the new regulations didn’t appear to rescue reasonable criticism of the government through satire or parody.
” These regulations seem to be in favor of the government and against the people on the surface.” They can be used against the people in a very serious way, much like the sedition law, according to renowned political cartoonist Manjul( who hardly goes by one name ).
While there can be no discussion about the dangers of fake news, an editor in the Indian Express news claims that a system where the public has judgment to determine the veracity of online articles is dangerous.

Political parties aim to win the hearts of elderly voters by granting them an old age allowance ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 baht, according to a policy dialogue organised by the Thai Public Broadcasting Service (Thai PBS) and the National Health Commission Office.
Decharut Sukkumnoed, director of the Move Forward Party (MFP)’s Think Forward Centre, said the MFP’s pension policy will increase the allowance from 600 baht to 3,000 baht, enough for a low-income earner to subsist on each month.
This would require a budget of 420 billion baht to cover around 12 million elderly people in the country. The allowance will gradually be increased to 3,000 baht by 2027. It is expected to lower the number of senior citizens who rank in the low-income category to 1%, and solve inequality problems.
The MFP also pledged to set up another fund for elderly people who are bedridden, with a budget that would give them about 9,000 baht each per month, as well as set up other treatment centres in local communities, Mr Decharut said.
Pariyate Angoonkitti, the Thai Sang Thai (TST)’s communication and public relations director, said the TST is the first party to offer a generous allowance to the elderly, adding it should be enough to cover all expenses including medication.
The TST also aims to upgrade Thailand’s 30-baht healthcare scheme, he said.
Sontirat Sontijirawong, chief of the Palang Pracharath Party (PPRP)’s political strategy team, said the PPRP offers an allowance of 3,000 baht for elderly people aged 60-69, while those aged 70-79 will be given 4,000 baht and those over 80 will get 5,000 baht.
The PPRP also plans to form a health link to arrange local health volunteers to treat elderly and bedridden people in remote areas, and encourage the employment of elderly workers aged 60-65 in the private sector, Mr Sontirat said.
Phonchai Maranet, a policy committee member of the Chart Pattana Kla Party, said the party will fund the private sector to hire elderly workers for 5,000 baht per month, as well as lower the personal income tax rate for those who earn less than 400,000 baht a year.
It will also set up a fund to provide financial aid of 50,000 baht to each household to make the interior of their property more suitable for elderly people, he said.
Udomsak Srisuthiwa, deputy secretary-general of the Chartthaipattana Party, said the party will extend the retirement age from 60 to 65 and provide “suitable” jobs for the elderly.
Pisit Leeahtam, Democrat policy chairman, said the party will support elderly workers by giving 30,000 baht to elderly clubs in each community.
Theerarat Samrejvanich, Pheu Thai’s political communication team member, said the party will upgrade the 30-baht universal healthcare scheme to allow elderly people more access to nearby hospitals using their ID card.
Supachai Jaisamut, Bhumjaithai’s registrar, said the party will set up a life insurance fund for elderly people over 60, with death benefits worth 100,000 baht.
It will also offer a loan of up to 20,000 baht for occupational support, and boost support for dental treatment.
