新加坡：周一（11 月 15 日），移民和关卡局 (ICA) 表示，在一辆试图通过大士关卡将违禁品走私到新加坡的卡车中，共发现 1,048 箱未完税香烟。
当局在 Facebook 帖子中说，这辆在马来西亚注册的卡车正在运送各种货物，包括家具板，当时 ICA 官员于 11 月 12 日指示它进行进一步检查。
“当他们在家具板上发现未完税的香烟时，他们的怀疑得到了证实，”ICA 说。
它补充说，此案已提交新加坡海关进行进一步调查。
“恐怖分子也可能使用类似的隐藏方法将安全物品走私到新加坡，”ICA 说。
“ICA 将继续进行安全检查，以发现和阻止走私企图，以确保新加坡的安全。”
Singapore: The Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Monday (November 15) that Singapore will further relax COVID-19 restrictions on migrant workers living in dormitories and allow more vaccinated workers to go to the community.
From December 3, the authorities will allow 3,000 vaccinated migrant workers to visit any place in the community every day, with a maximum duration of 8 hours per visit.
There are currently 3,000 migrant workers every week, and visits are limited to Little India and Geylang Serai.
The Ministry of Health stated that vaccinated workers must undergo Rapid Antigen Test (ART) as an additional precaution before leaving the dormitory. Workers who have not been vaccinated are still not eligible for community visits.
The ministry stated that migrant workers’ dormitories are now “more resistant to the new crown virus”, and 98% of migrant workers living in dormitories have been vaccinated.
The Ministry of Health said: “Migrant workers also receive booster vaccines at an encouraging rate when they meet the conditions.”
The Ministry of Health added that the COVID-19 infection in the dormitories has been “stabilized” in the past few weeks, and an average of 143 migrant workers tested positive by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) every day last week.
Migrant workers in the dormitory are also tested weekly, regardless of the vaccination status, except for recovered workers.
From December 3, workers will also be allowed to visit the entertainment center every day, with each visit being extended by 8 hours. This is higher than the upper limit of three visits to the entertainment center per week, with a maximum of four hours per visit.
Migrant workers who have not been vaccinated must undergo pre-visit testing before they can enter the entertainment center. They can use negative ART results from roster routine testing or pre-event ART.
Currently, visits are limited to designated entertainment centers, but starting in mid-December, migrant workers will be able to visit any entertainment center of their choice.
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) is cooperating with entertainment center operators to increase the variety of entertainment center activities, such as organizing movie screenings and sports competitions. They also developed a process to manage the visits of a large number of migrant workers.
新加坡：卫生部（MOH）周一（11 月 15 日）表示，新加坡将进一步放宽对住在宿舍的移民工人的 COVID-19 限制，并让更多接种疫苗的工人前往社区。
从 12 月 3 日起，当局将允许每天 3,000 名已接种疫苗的农民工访问社区的任何地点，每次访问时间最长为 8 小时。
目前每周有 3,000 名农民工，访问仅限于小印度和芽笼士乃。
卫生部表示，接种疫苗的工人必须在离开宿舍前进行事前抗原快速检测 (ART)，作为额外的预防措施。未接种疫苗的工人仍然没有资格进行社区访问。
该部表示，农民工宿舍现在“更能抵御新冠病毒”，98% 的住在宿舍的农民工都接种了疫苗。
卫生部说：“移民工人在符合条件时也以令人鼓舞的速度接种加强疫苗。”
卫生部补充说，过去几周宿舍中的 COVID-19 感染已经“稳定”，上周平均每天有 143 名农民工通过聚合酶链反应 (PCR) 检测呈阳性。
宿舍里的农民工也每周接受检测，无论疫苗接种情况如何，康复工人除外。
从 12 月 3 日起，工人也将被允许每天访问娱乐中心，每次访问时间延长 8 小时。这高于每周三次访问娱乐中心的上限，每次访问最多四个小时。
未接种疫苗的外来务工人员必须接受访问前测试才能进入娱乐中心。他们可以使用来自名册常规测试或事件前 ART 的 ART 阴性结果。
目前，访问仅限于指定的娱乐中心，但从 12 月中旬开始，农民工将可以访问他们选择的任何娱乐中心。
人力部（MOM）正与娱乐中心运营商合作，增加娱乐中心的活动种类，例如组织电影放映和体育比赛。他们还制定了管理大量外来务工人员来访的流程。
新加坡：据卫生部周一（11 月 15 日）称，新加坡将从 11 月 29 日起将其接种疫苗的旅行车道（VTL）计划扩展到更多国家。
该国打算从 11 月 29 日起与印度和印度尼西亚以及从 12 月 6 日起与卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国 (UAE) 启动 VTL。
交通部长 S Iswaran 在周一的 COVID-19 多部委工作组新闻发布会上说，新加坡和印度一直在讨论相互承认疫苗接种证书的问题。
自11月12日起，印度开始承认新加坡颁发的疫苗接种证书。
“这意味着从新加坡进入印度的完全接种疫苗的旅客将不再需要进行抵达后的居家隔离测试，他们只需要在抵达后进行 14 天的自我监测，”伊斯瓦兰先生说。
伊斯瓦兰先生补充说，卫生部还更新了其公共卫生评估，并将从 11 月 19 日起将印度升级为第 2 类。
“我们正在讨论恢复定期商业客运服务（与印度）。因为今天，从新加坡起飞的唯一允许载客到印度的航班是政府在范德巴拉特任务下的包机救援航班。”
他补充说：“我们与印度的讨论进展顺利。我们的目标是在 11 月 29 日之前恢复每天两班飞往钦奈、德里和孟买的 VTL 航班。新加坡民航局（CAAS）将在最终确定后提供更多细节。”
来自印度和印度尼西亚的短期游客和长期通行证持有者的申请将于 11 月 22 日开始，而来自卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋的游客将从 11 月 29 日开始申请。
如果通过 VTL 旅行，已完全接种疫苗的返回新加坡公民和永久居民无需申请。
卫生部周一在一份新闻稿中说：“建议打算从新加坡前往这些国家/地区的旅客查看目的地的现行入境要求。”
迄今为止，新加坡已经推出了包括澳大利亚、加拿大和德国在内的 13 个 VTL。该国此前宣布，将从 11 月 29 日起与马来西亚、芬兰和瑞典启动 VTL。
使用 VTL 的旅客在抵达时无需收到居家通知。相反，他们将被要求在出发前两天内进行阴性的出发前测试，并在抵达时进行 PCR 检测。
在另一份新闻稿中，CAAS 表示 VTL 的逐步扩展使其能够“在不损害公共健康的情况下安全地恢复航空旅行”。
它补充说，它还将有助于“恢复和重建”新加坡作为具有全球连通性的国际航空枢纽的地位。
Singapore: According to the Ministry of Health on Monday (November 15), Singapore will expand its vaccination travel lane (VTL) program to more countries from November 29.
The country intends to launch VTL with India and Indonesia from November 29 and Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from December 6.
Transport Minister S Iswaran said at a press conference of the COVID-19 multi-ministerial working group on Monday that Singapore and India have been discussing the issue of mutual recognition of vaccination certificates.
Since November 12, India has begun to recognize vaccination certificates issued by Singapore.
“This means that fully vaccinated travelers entering India from Singapore will no longer need to undergo home isolation testing after arrival. They only need to conduct self-monitoring for 14 days after arrival,” Mr Iswaran said.
Mr. Iswaran added that the Ministry of Health has also updated its public health assessment and will upgrade India to category 2 from November 19.
“We are discussing the resumption of regular commercial passenger services (with India). Because today, the only flight from Singapore that is allowed to carry passengers to India is the government’s chartered rescue flight under the van der Bharat mission.”
He added: “Our discussions with India are progressing smoothly. Our goal is to resume two daily VTL flights to Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai by November 29. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) will finalize the decision. Provide more details.”
Applications for short-term tourists and long-term pass holders from India and Indonesia will start on November 22, while tourists from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE will start applications on November 29.
If traveling through VTL, returning Singapore citizens and permanent residents who have been fully vaccinated do not need to apply.
The Ministry of Health said in a press release on Monday: “It is recommended that travelers planning to travel to these countries/regions from Singapore check the current entry requirements for their destinations.”
So far, Singapore has launched 13 VTLs including Australia, Canada and Germany. The country previously announced that it will launch VTL with Malaysia, Finland and Sweden from November 29.
Passengers using VTL do not need to receive home notification upon arrival. Instead, they will be required to undergo a negative pre-departure test two days before departure and a PCR test upon arrival.
In another press release, CAAS stated that the gradual expansion of the VTL allows it to “safely resume air travel without compromising public health.”
It added that it will also help “restore and rebuild” Singapore’s status as an international aviation hub with global connectivity.
Singapore: Fully vaccinated members of the same family will soon be able to dine together in groups of up to five in some hawker centres.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) stated on Monday (November 15) that the first batch of hawker centers is expected to implement access control and inspection systems by the end of November.
It added that the remaining hawker centres “should follow up soon.”
Since November 10, up to five family members who have been vaccinated can eat together at other restaurants that have undergone vaccination checks. Guests who are not in the same family can dine in groups of two.
The Ministry of Health stated that implementing and enforcing measures to differentiate vaccination in hawker centers and coffee shops is “more challenging”, adding that the National Environment Agency has been in contact with hawker associations and town councils.
For coffee shops, the Singapore Food Board also contacts the operators. Those who have established a system to control visits and check the vaccination status of their customers will also be allowed to gather up to five people from the same family. Otherwise, the current two-person team size will apply.
The ministry stated that people who have not been vaccinated can easily catch COVID-19 in an environment where they wear masks such as meals.
“Therefore, before anyone enters a hawker center or coffee shop, it is very important to properly check the vaccination situation and only allow those who are fully vaccinated to sit down and eat.
“This will have a very significant impact on our health care capabilities, especially the ICU occupancy rate.”
The Ministry of Health also announced that in addition to using the NRIC and SingPass apps, family members dining together can now use the myICA and SGWorkPass apps as proof of residence.
MORE ART KITS APPROVED
As more such kits are approved for sale, it is expected that the price of antigen rapid test kits will drop.
In retail stores in Singapore, the price of self-test kits usually exceeds S$10.
Flowflex ART kits were authorized for self-inspection under the Special Epidemic Channel (PSAR) on November 8, bringing the total number of ART kits approved in Singapore to nine.
Two other ART kits have been approved for PSAR registration.
The ministry stated that the government and medical institutions have been purchasing more ART kits “to reduce costs while ensuring that the kits authorized for sale in Singapore continue to meet strict safety and quality standards.”
“We expect that the prices of these kits will be significantly lower than the current prices of ART kits,” the Ministry of Health said.
新加坡：同一家庭的完全接种疫苗的成员很快就可以在一些小贩中心以最多五人为一组一起用餐。
卫生部（MOH）周一（11 月 15 日）表示，第一批小贩中心预计将在 11 月底之前实施出入控制和检查系统。
它补充说，其余的小贩中心“应该很快就能跟进”。
自 11 月 10 日以来，最多五名已接种疫苗的家庭成员可以在其他已进行疫苗接种检查的餐饮店一起用餐。非同一家庭的客人可以两人一组一起用餐。
卫生部表示，在小贩中心和咖啡店实施和执行区分疫苗接种的措施“更具挑战性”，并补充说国家环境局一直在与小贩协会和镇议会进行接触。
对于咖啡店，新加坡食品局也同样与经营者接触。那些建立了一个系统来控制访问和检查其顾客的疫苗接种状态的人也将被允许从同一家庭聚餐最多五人。否则，将适用现行的两人组人数。
该部表示，未接种疫苗的人很容易在用餐等戴口罩的环境中感染 COVID-19。
“因此，在有人进入小贩中心或咖啡店之前，对疫苗接种情况进行适当的检查非常重要，并且只允许那些完全接种疫苗的人坐下来吃饭。
“这会对我们的医疗保健能力，尤其是 ICU 入住率产生非常重大的影响。”
卫生部还宣布，除了使用 NRIC 和 SingPass 应用程序外，一起用餐的家庭成员现在可以使用 myICA 和 SGWorkPass 应用程序作为居住证明。
更多艺术套件获得批准
随着更多此类试剂盒被批准销售，预计抗原快速检测试剂盒的价格将下降。
在新加坡的零售店，自测套件的价格通常超过 10 新元。
Flowflex ART 套件于 11 月 8 日根据流行病特殊通道 (PSAR) 获得授权用于自检，使新加坡批准的 ART 套件总数达到九个。
另外两个 ART 套件已被批准进行 PSAR 注册。
该部表示，政府和医疗机构一直在采购更多的 ART 试剂盒，“以降低成本，同时确保在新加坡授权销售的试剂盒继续符合严格的安全和质量标准”。
“我们预计这些套件的价格将大大低于 ART 套件的当前价格，”卫生部说。
新加坡：当电机的吱吱声响彻房间时，三个男人并排坐在一个船形结构中。这座位于游泳池中的结构旋转了 180 度，将这些人颠倒过来。
这不是游乐园的场景，而是在布拉尼岛警察海岸警卫队 (PCG) 总部的培训课程。这些来自 PCG 特种任务中队 (STS) 的精英军官现在在水下，必须找到脱离结构的出路。
STS 处理高风险的海上公共安全操作，例如高速追船或登上可疑船只。
2019 年 3 月，当一艘未注册的机动船进入新加坡水域并加速驶向榜鹅巴拉特时，STS 官员被启动，一名男子跳下并继续向岸边游去。
当船夫不顾一再警告拒绝停止时，PCG 拦截了船只并逮捕了船夫。另一名男子在榜鹅巴拉特海岸线的围栏被捕。
2007 年，两名 PCG 官员在他们的船追逐一艘非法进入新加坡水域并与之相撞的快艇后死亡。 PCG 船倾覆，船上有四名军官。
经过多方参与的密集搜救行动，两名受轻伤的警官获救，另外两人的尸体已从水中打捞上来。
这种风险是 PCG 使用移动结构（称为水下出口训练模拟器）来帮助 STS 官员更好地处理船只倾覆情况的部分原因。
如果发生倾覆事故，在从船底游出之前，船员必须正确脱下他们的装备，包括充气救生衣。
在训练模拟过程中，水下军官的头几乎抵在模拟器的地板上。他们每个人都从紧急氧气罐中呼吸，从背后伸出救生衣，然后从侧面游了出去。
应对倾覆情况的官员有时会在完全黑暗的情况下做出反应，同时被困在船底下，处于潜在的强大水流和波涛汹涌的水域中。
该模拟器于 8 月推出，类似于 PCG 的高速 PK 拦截艇，重现了这些情况，使军官能够在真实而安全的环境中进行训练。
例如，训练池配备了波浪发生器来模拟洋流和各种海况。
警方在周日（11 月 14 日）的新闻发布会上说：“模拟器能够复制海上紧急情况可能引起的物理和环境条件，例如船只倾覆情况，在这种情况下，官员会在水下的密闭空间内迷失方向。” ）。
警方发言人表示，警官不必在模拟器上完成特定的小时数，但这是部署前培训课程的一部分。
“到目前为止，我们收到的反馈是它真的很有帮助。这无疑让他们对完全不同的培训环境建立了信心，”他说。
船舶操纵模拟器
除了涉及拦截和登船战术的实际海上训练之外，水下出口训练模拟器并不是 PCG 第一次使用技术进行训练。
去年 3 月，它委托战术船操纵和射击模拟器在海上不同场景中练习高风险机动、监视和导航。
该模拟器配备了先进的物理引擎，该引擎使用实际船舶性能数据来复制真实世界中高速船舶在受到波浪或与其他船只和漂浮物体撞击等因素的影响时的行为方式。
该模拟器还配备了眼动追踪器，可帮助训练员在高速追击等压力情况下分析军官的视觉焦点，并就如何改进提供反馈。
PCG指挥官高级助理警务处处长Cheang Keng Keong当时表示，模拟器将最大限度地减少受伤和事故的风险。
警方周日表示：“STS 人员在高速拦截和战术登机期间执行的高风险演习要求 STS 人员将技能磨练至完美，因为在操作过程中不允许出现错误。”
当被问及 2007 年的事件是否参与了水下出口训练模拟器的开发时，警方发言人表示，这提供了一些经验教训，也是考虑的一部分。
“但更重要的是实际上提高我们的军官在海上处理某些情况时的操作能力，例如倾覆演习，”他说。
“我们构建了这个模拟器来帮助培训我们所有的前线人员，这确实是对操作要求的需要。”
Singapore: When the squeak of the motor squeaked through the room, three men sat side by side in a boat-shaped structure. The structure in the swimming pool was rotated 180 degrees, turning these people upside down.
This is not an amusement park scene, but a training course at the headquarters of the Police Coast Guard (PCG) on Blarney Island. These elite officers from the PCG Special Task Squadron (STS) are now underwater and must find a way out of the structure.
STS handles high-risk maritime public safety operations, such as chasing ships at high speed or boarding suspicious ships.
In March 2019, when an unregistered motor boat entered the waters of Singapore and accelerated towards Punggol Bharat, STS officers were activated and a man jumped off and continued to swim towards the shore.
When the boatman refused to stop despite repeated warnings, the PCG intercepted the boat and arrested the boatman. Another man was arrested in a fence along the coastline of Punggol Bharat.
In 2007, two PCG officials died after their ship chased a speedboat that entered Singapore waters illegally and collided with it. The PCG ship capsized and there were four officers on board.
After an intensive search and rescue operation involving multiple parties, two lightly injured police officers were rescued, and the bodies of the other two were salvaged from the water.
This risk is part of the reason why PCG uses mobile structures (called underwater exit training simulators) to help STS officials better deal with ship capsizing.
In the event of a capsizing accident, the crew must properly take off their equipment, including inflatable life jackets, before swimming out of the bottom of the ship.
During the training simulation, the underwater officer’s head almost rested on the simulator’s floor. Each of them breathed from the emergency oxygen tank, stretched out their life jackets from behind, and then swam out from the side.
Officials responding to overturning situations sometimes react in complete darkness while being trapped under the ship, in potentially strong currents and rough waters.
The simulator was launched in August, similar to the PCG’s high-speed PK interception boat, reproduced these situations, enabling officers to train in a real and safe environment.
For example, the training pool is equipped with wave generators to simulate ocean currents and various sea conditions.
The police said at a press conference on Sunday (November 14): “The simulator can replicate the physical and environmental conditions that may be caused by maritime emergencies, such as the capsize of a ship. In this case, officials will be underwater. Lost in a confined space.” ).
A police spokesperson stated that police officers do not have to complete a specific number of hours on the simulator, but this is part of the pre-deployment training course.
“So far, the feedback we have received is that it is really helpful. This undoubtedly gave them confidence in a completely different training environment,” he said.
BOAT HANDLING SIMULATOR
In addition to actual sea training involving interception and boarding tactics, the underwater exit training simulator is not the first time that PCG uses technology for training.
In March last year, it commissioned a tactical ship manipulation and shooting simulator to practice high-risk maneuvers, surveillance and navigation in different scenarios at sea.
The simulator is equipped with an advanced physics engine that uses actual ship performance data to replicate the behavior of high-speed ships in the real world when they are affected by waves or impacts with other ships and floating objects.
The simulator is also equipped with an eye tracker, which can help trainers analyze the officer’s visual focus in stressful situations such as high-speed pursuits, and provide feedback on how to improve.
PCG commander Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Cheang Keng Keong said at the time that the simulator will minimize the risk of injuries and accidents.
The police said on Sunday: “The high-risk exercises performed by STS personnel during high-speed interception and tactical boarding require STS personnel to hone their skills to perfection, because errors are not allowed during the operation.”
When asked whether the 2007 incident was involved in the development of the underwater exit training simulator, a police spokesperson said that this provided some lessons and was part of the consideration.
“But what is more important is to actually improve the operational capabilities of our officers when handling certain situations at sea, such as capsizing exercises,” he said.
“We built this simulator to help train all our frontline personnel. This is indeed a need for operational requirements.”
Paris Hilton and Carter Reum have got married.
The 40-year-old hotel heiress and the 40-year-old venture capitalist tied the knot at the Bel-Air estate of her late grandfather, hotelier and philanthropist Barron Hilton, on Thursday (Nov 11).
The businesswoman posted the first picture of herself in her Oscar de la Renta bridal gown.
Paris and Carter’s big day was thought to have featured several famous faces, including her friends Kim Kardashian West, Kyle Richards, Paula Abdul, Emma Roberts, Ashley Benson, and Bebe Rexha.
According to MailOnline, Paris’ parents Kathy and Rick Hilton were among the first guests to arrive at the picturesque venue, with her brother Conrad Hilton and aunt Kyle Richards following close behind.
The nuptials was filmed for the star’s new 13-part Peacock docuseries, Paris in Love.
The series premiered on Thursday, in which Paris admitted she already celebrates “monthly” anniversaries with Carter, because they mark the date they started their romance every single month.
She said: “Carter and I celebrate our anniversary every month. We call it our month-iversaries. Every month on the 29th.”
Kathy joked she thought the idea was “crazy”, but she is ultimately happy for her daughter.
She quipped: “The monthly anniversary thing, I thought that maybe they would do that for a few months or for the first six months. It went on and on and on, and whatever floats your boat … Crazy.”
Carter told the cameras: “We’re definitely going to be celebrating monthly for the rest of our lives, it’s kind of our thing.”
The couple – who got engaged in February after more than a year of dating – changed their wedding venue just days before they were due to marry.
An invited guest said last week: “It changed about a week or so ago. It’s changed several times.
“Originally, they were going to get married in the church, but they switched it about a week or so ago.
“It’s a three-day event. New email invitations went out [Wednesday] to confirm attendance, but there still aren’t any addresses [listed]. They’re going to be filming to death.”
