Fertility & caregiving pressures: A fresh online debate on Singapore’s record-low fertility rate is turning personal—one man says he can’t start a family because he’s effectively supporting ageing parents who lack CPF savings, arguing the “gahmen” talks about TFR but doesn’t invest enough in elder care. HDB upgrades: More than 18,000 HDB flats have been selected for upgrading works under the Home Improvement Programme, with senior-friendly add-ons under EASE also continuing. Public safety & enforcement: Malaysia’s crackdown on littering has issued 6,680 notices nationwide since January, including teens and foreigners—an example of how stricter enforcement is spreading across the region. Regional trade & shipping: With Hormuz tensions reshaping routes, West Africa is seeing a surge in refuelling and logistics demand as ships sail around Africa. US-China talks: Xi and Trump wrapped up a Beijing summit with “symbolic wins” but few major deals, while analysts say both sides are trying to set guardrails to avoid surprises.
