Let’s face it: in this social media world, exciting and viral news like a cat feeding a baby bear would often appear in your Facebook news feed, while important news like the GDP growth of Singapore this year wouldn’t get the same reach.
It’s understandable since social media platforms would prioritise engaging and viral contents to keep users in their platform.
In order to ensure that you’d still know about important news instead just social news, below are the top five Singapore news that was reported yesterday which you should know, simplified for you in a bite-sized format:

Self-Checking Kiosks On Trial At Toa Payoh Transport Hub & Chong Pang CC
One can now have their temperatures taken at self-checking kiosks located at Toa Payoh MRT Station, Toa Payoh Bus Interchange, and Chong Pang Community Club.
These kiosks are currently on trial and are an initiative by a few government agencies and local companies to urge more people to have their temperatures taken regularly just to be safe.
The kiosk has a sensor which will detect the temperature of the person standing in front of it. If one has a temperature that exceeds a certain threshold and is at risk of having a fever, the kiosk will indicate it with a yellow light or a notification. If one’s temperature is normal, the kiosk will indicate it with a green light or a notification.

Bigger Dogs Can Now Live In HDB Flats Due To Revisions In Size Criteria

This comes under a government scheme called Project Adore, and dogs up to 55cm tall with no weight limit can live in HDB flats.
Project Adore allows large dogs to be kept in HDB flats with proper documentation and measures implemented, unlike before where only dogs under 50cm and up to 15kg can live in HDB flats.
