A refreshed anti-abuse decal for SOs with the support of the Ministry of Home Affairs!
Mr Desmond Tan, Minister of State for Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, unveiled the refreshed decal design at AMK Hub on 9th July. "Abusive behaviour towards SOs should never be tolerated. This decal will serve to strengthen public awareness of the need to contribute to a safer environment for all SOs to carry out their duties. To complement industry-led efforts, MHA will also be amending the Private Security Industry Act later this year to send a clear signal against abuse and harassment of SOs. ” Mr Desmond Tan said.

As such, he urged everyone to support these efforts through our purchases as consumers, and to signal to companies that we are prepared to pay a little more for essential services so that our workers can earn higher wages.
Amid tougher Covid-19 measures and lower footfall, Singapore retailers are appealing to landlords for timelier support.
Trust in media is important. It there is no trust in media, it would inevitably lead to a government and political leadership that is not trusted, and we are all finished if that happens, Mr Shanmugam said. We have seen how important trust in media and government/institutions is in this pandemic. Without trust we would not have been able to manage the pandemic the way we did.
Desmond Lee walks the talk, and solicits views from a cross-section of people. He is also well-respected by the nature community.
"If your solution is a one-liner, is a slogan, whether it is more to the left or to the right, it is just a slogan. Solving problems is very, very much an exercise of pragmatism and understanding."
