Space for the future: Plans to merge southern islands to form a new “Western island” for industry, power and defence.

Culture: A Singapore Chinese Heritage Gallery will open in 2031, and dialect film screening caps will be lifted if Mandarin-dubbed versions are available. Diplomacy & business: Ecuador President Daniel Noboa begins a two-day state visit, and Singapore-Vietnam ties get a new strategic dialogue push.
