The gas tariff, meanwhile, will increase by 3.3 per cent to 23.51 cents per kWh, announced City Energy.

This is the third straight quarter of increases for electricity and gas prices.

SP Group attributed the latest hike to higher energy costs, which are made up of the cost of fuel and the cost of power generation.

Improper disposal of SAF equipment may result in criminal charges

October 31, 2023

SAF Gear Found Disposed At HDB Void Deck, Equipment Must Be Returned At Dedicated Places

By Valerie Yuam – 31 Oct 2023, 11:30 am

{Extract}

According to the the National Service (NS) portal, improper disposal of SAF equipment may result in criminal charges. Ex-NSmen who have fulfilled their NS duties may dispose of their personal equipment in collection bins at all SAF eMart outlets, SAFRA clubhouses or the Army Logistics Base.

Alternatively, they can also dispose it themselves. Only catch here is the method of disposal should not result in unauthorised usage of your equipment by others. For instance, they should cut up their uniforms and straps on the equipment. They should also remove all “Property of SAF” labels before discarding the equipment in waste bins.

“Non-compliance with these instructions may amount to a criminal offence, and result in criminal charges against you,” the portal noted.

This translates to an increase of about 0.98 cents per kWh before Goods and Services Tax (GST).

The utilities provider said the increase was due to higher energy costs compared with the previous quarter.

For households, the electricity tariff before GST will increase from 27.74 to 28.70 cents per kWh. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in Housing Board four-room flats will increase by S$3.57 (US$2.60) before GST.

What is 6G and why is it important?

April 25, 2023

ST, UPDATED 7 MAR 2023, 7:27 AM SGT, Irene Tham, Tech Editor

{Extract}

SINGAPORE – Singapore is developing a new national blueprint to throw its hat into 6G developments to stay in the global digital race. What is 6G and how is it superior to predecessor technologies such as 5G and 4G? The Straits Times’ tech editor Irene Tham looks at the mobile evolution and what each upgrade can do for users here.

Benefits of 6G
6G services are expected to be available by 2030 and promise speeds up to 100 times faster than 5G ones, and with significantly less transmission lag. Laboratory tests in China have already achieved speeds of around 200Gbps (gigabits per second).

6G networks are also said to have the potential to make the digital and physical world indistinguishable through holographic telepresence, as well as augmented reality and virtual reality (VR) technologies.

What’s more, 6G networks could deliver the promise of edge computing, where data processing is done by hardware mounted on, for example, a lamp post close to the user of a self-driving car or a pair of VR glasses, rather than in a data centre located far away. This also means the driverless car or the VR glasses need not be too bulky.
