Singapore Airlines (SIA) reported on Wednesday (July 29) a $1.12 billion net loss in the quarter ended June 30, its largest quarterly loss on record, as demand plummeted amid travel restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Revenue for the group plunged 79.3 per cent to $851 million year on year, while expenditure dropped 51.6 per cent to $1.89 billion, the company said in a regulatory filing.
SIA had entered the first quarter "at a time when market conditions were deteriorating rapidly due to the spread of Covid-19 globally", the group said.
SIA Plans To Raise Up To S$15B From Existing Investors To Regain Its Wings Amid COVID-19
Troubled by deepening impacts of the Covid-19 outbreak, Singapore Airlines (SIA) is just at the beginning of a heavy blow. The national carrier has suffered a 95 per cent reduction in capacity so far, which severely puts a dent in revenue, while it still has to continue incurring fixed costs like manpower and parking charges. On Monday, SIA CEO Goh Choon Pong increased the company’s cost-cutting measures, including implementing no-pay leave for staff and larger pay-cuts for management, affecting about 10,000 employees in total.
Today, the airline said it will be raising up to S$15 billion from existing investors through the sale of shares and convertible bonds, to tide through the shock from the coronavirus. This comes as SIA’s shares fell to their lowest in 22 years. The firm, on Thursday morning, halted trading before revealing this announcement. SIA will issue up to 1.77 billion new shares to existing shareholders at S$3 per share. On the basis of three rights shares for every two existing shares held by shareholders, it expects to raise S$5.3 billion. This is about a 54 per cent discount from SIA’s last traded share price of S$6.50.
Another S$9.7 billion will come from issuing mandatory 10-year convertible bonds at $1 each, on the basis of 295 bonds for every 100 existing shares owned. In the meantime, SIA has also arranged for a S$4 billion bridge loan facility with DBS. This fundraising is being underwritten by Temasek Holdings, SIA’s largest investor which owns about 55 per cent of its shares.

Air New Zealand won the title of world's best airline for 2020. AIR NEW ZEALAND
The much-awaited annual Airline Excellence Awards are carried out by AirlineRatings.com, which is an aviation safety- and product-rating site based out of Perth, Australia.
To decide who wins, seven editors at the agency consider a dozen key factors including operational safety, passenger reviews, profitability, investment rating, fleet age, and product offerings such as premium economy on long-haul flights and seating options in other classes.
Air New Zealand’s number-one score should come as no surprise since, aside from last year’s loss to Singapore Airlines, the carrier has claimed the top spot for six of the past seven years.

What Breakfast Looks Like in 50 Countries
Argentina: Medialunas
Breakfast in Argentina is a no-frills affair. You’ll find locals typically eating one of two things: tostados (toast) or medialunas ("half-moons"), which are pastries similar to croissants but a smaller and sweeter. Of course, these are typically eaten with coffee.
Australia: Vegemite
Vegemite is a classic Australian product that people tend to either love or loathe. It is a thick, black spread that’s made from brewer’s yeast extract and is traditionally spread in a very thin layer over some buttered toast, sometimes accompanied with a slice of cheese. If Vegemite is too much first thing in the morning, a fry-up consisting of eggs, bacon, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms as well as some sausages, beans or hash browns is an equally Aussie breakfast to enjoy.
Bangladesh: Chapattis
In Bangladesh, wheat flour flatbreads called chapattis are frequently served for breakfast along with potato curry or scrambled eggs.

POFMA fake news law invoked for first time
Singapore invokes 'fake news' law for first time over Facebook post by opposition member Brad Bowyer
Singapore political figure Brad Bowyer. — Picture via facebook.com/SGBelieves
Singapore political figure Brad Bowyer today corrected a Facebook post questioning the independence of state investment firms following a government request, in the first use of the country's new “fake news” law.
Bowyer used “false and misleading” statements alleging the government influenced decisions made by state investors Temasek Holdings and GIC, according to a statement on the official government fact-checking website.
Bowyer said he had placed a correction notice with a link to the government statement above his Facebook post following a request to do so under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (Pofma). “I have no problem in following that request as I feel it is fair to have both points of view and clarifications and corrections of fact when necessary,” Bowyer said in a statement on Facebook.

Singapore invokes ‘fake news’ law for first time over politician’s Facebook post
The Singapore government on Monday invoked its newly enacted anti-fake news law for the first time to demand opposition politician Brad Bowyer correct a Facebook post in which he questioned the independence of the country’s two main state investment companies.
Bowyer, of the Progress Singapore Party, later wrote that he had amended the November 13 post as he “had no problem in following that request as I feel it is fair to have both points of view and clarifications and corrections of fact when necessary”.
In a statement, the government said Heng Swee Keat, the deputy prime minister and finance minister, had issued a “correction order” to Bowyer over his post, which dwelled on GIC and Temasek Holdings – among the world’s biggest state investors.

Singapore uses law against misinformation for first time
Singapore used its law to combat misinformation for the first time Monday, November 25, ordering an opposition figure to correct a Facebook post authorities said could "smear the reputation" of state investment funds.
The legislation, which came into force last month, gives government ministers powers to order social media sites to put warnings next to posts authorities deem to be false, and in extreme cases, get them taken down. Tech giants including Google and Twitter have criticized the law, as have activists who fear it could stifle online dissent, but the government insists the measure is necessary to stop the circulation of damaging falsehoods.
Brad Bowyer, a member of opposition group Progress Singapore Party, was ordered to correct a November 13 Facebook post in which he questioned the independence of state-linked investment vehicle Temasek and sovereign wealth fund GIC.

Use of POFMA on an online posting by Mr Brad Bowyer
In a recent Facebook post, Mr Brad Bowyer implied that the Government was involved in individual investment decisions of GIC and Temasek. He was issued with a Correction Direction under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation (POFMA) Act on 25 November 2019.
Mr Bowyer’s post contains clearly false statements of fact, and undermines public trust in the Government.
It is necessary to state this for the record: GIC and Temasek operate on a commercial basis, and the Government is not involved in their individual investment decisions.

Government uses “anti-fake news” law to eliminate public debate
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) in a statement on Friday, expressed that it is appalled by the totalitarian aspects of Singapore’s new, highly controversial “anti-fake news” law, under which the authorities issued two directives ordering “corrections” to Facebook posts within the space of a week. Below is RSF’s report and comments on the new law and the takedowns.
The “corrections” are posted on a government web page called “Factually” that was up and running as soon as the law, the Protection from Online Falsehood and Manipulation Act (POFMA), took effect in October. This page claims to present the “correct facts” as opposed to what the law calls “online falsehoods and manipulation” and displays each “corrected” item with the word “FALSE” stamped on it in large red letters.
The first directive was sent by the finance minister on 21 November to an opposition politician who had posted a note on Facebook questioning the investments made by two Singaporean sovereign wealth funds. It forced him to post a “Correction notice” at the top of his post with a link to the government web page with the “correct facts.”

Singapore invokes 'fake news' law for first time
A British-born politician in Singapore has become the first citizen requested by the government to correct a Facebook post under "fake news" legislation. The post questioned the independence of state investment firms. Brad Bowyer, a naturalized Singaporean, placed a correction notice on Monday with a link to a government statement following a request by the finance minister under the newly-created Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA).
The government claimed he used "false statements of fact and misleading statements," alleging the Singaporean government influenced decisions made by state investors Temasek Holdings and GIC.
Bowyer has been a member of the ruling party and opposition parties but has never stood for elected office. "In general, I caution all those who comment on our domestic politics and social issues to do so with due care and attention especially if you speak from any place of influence," Boyer said in a statement on Facebook.

First target of Singapore’s ‘fake news’ law is Facebook post that alleged a failed state investment in Salt Bae
Singapore invoked its “fake news” law for the first time Monday, making a citizen amend a Nov. 13 post that the government said used “false and misleading statements” to smear reputations.
But the first use of the law did not focus on misinformation sown by a foreign state or that aimed to provoke sectarianism in Singapore’s multiethnic state, two stated aims of the “fake news” law.
Instead, the legislation was used in response to a Facebook post from an opposition politician that accused the government of responsibility for a failing investment in Turkish restaurant chain Salt Bae.

Singapore deploys ‘fake news’ law against government critic
Singapore has used its “fake news” law for the first time to force a British-born opposition party member to withdraw social media postings questioning the independence of state investment companies.
Brad Bowyer, of the Progress Singapore Party, was ordered to correct “false and misleading” statements alleging the government had influenced decisions made by state investors at Temasek Holdings and GIC. A government statement, published alongside a screenshot of Mr Bowyer’s post stamped with the word “false” in red, corrected what it said were falsehoods and accused him of seeking to “smear the reputation” of the funds.
Mr Bowyer said that he had placed a correction notice above his Facebook post after a request to do so under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act.

Govt invokes fake news law for first time, asks opposition member Brad Bowyer to correct Facebook post on Temasek, GIC
The Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (Pofma) Office has issued a correction direction to Progress Singapore Party member Brad Bowyer, in the first use of a law aimed at tackling fake news.
Initiated by Minister for Finance Heng Swee Keat, the direction requires Mr Bowyer to include a correction notice at the top of one of his Facebook posts, the Pofma Office said in a statement on Monday (Nov 25).

Corrections and clarifications regarding falsehoods posted by Mr Brad Bowyer
Misleading and false statements were made by Brad Bowyer on Temasek and GIC
1. The Facebook post by Mr Brad Bowyer contains false statements of fact and misleading statements.
Falsehoods
I. Singapore Government’s involvement in investment decisions by Temasek and GIC
2. Mr Bowyer implies that the Singapore Government controls Temasek’s and GIC’s commercial decisions. This is false.
3. The Government does not influence, let alone direct, the individual investment decisions made by Temasek and GIC. Which companies they invest in, or divest from, is entirely the responsibility of their respective management teams. The Government likewise does not interfere in the commercial decisions of Temasek’s and GIC’s portfolio companies.
4. Temasek and GIC are run on market principles, independent of the Government. Many of their portfolio companies are publicly listed. The Government’s role is to ensure that Temasek and GIC have competent boards, which ensure that their respective mandates are met. The Government also holds the boards of Temasek and GIC accountable for their respective overall performances.

As many have asked for my detailed views or questioned my motives without actually reading either my original post of the factually assertion I am attaching here my notes on the “Corrections and clarifications regarding falsehoods posted by Mr Brad Bowyer” posting at the gov.sg site. I do encourage you to read both to draw your own views.
1. The Facebook post by Mr Brad Bowyer contains false statements of fact and misleading statements.
Falsehoods
I. Singapore Government’s involvement in investment decisions by Temasek and GIC
2. Mr Bowyer implies that the Singapore Government controls Temasek’s and GIC’s commercial decisions. This is false.
BPB. I do not assert this however I do suggest that they have a level of oversight. If this is not the case it would be a fair question to ask why the government does not have any oversight of Temasek or GIC as they invest public funds and have government members on their boards with the Prime Minister being the chairman of GIC and his wife as head of Temasek for example.

Today in response to a POFMA request I amended a post of mine from 13th November regarding Bharti Airtel, Salt Bae and various recent policy decisions with a correction notice which links to the government's position on statements I made in that post to their "factually" website.
I also had several media outlets reach out to me for my comment on the matter and my thoughts on POFMA in general even before I had a chance to make the correction so I thought it appropriate to issue my statement here.
I have no problem in following that request as I feel it is fair to have both points of view and clarifications and corrections of fact when necessary.
I do my best to use public facts and make informed statements of opinion based on the details I have access too.
I am not against being asked to make clarifications or corrections especially if it is in the public interest.

CORRECTION NOTICE:
This post contains false statements of fact. For the correct facts, click here. www.gov.sg/…/clarifications-on-falsehoods-posted-by-mr-brad…
In my accountability speech at Hong Lim earlier in the year I mentiond Indian Telco Bharti Airtel and questions about GIC investing in it at a time when Singtel was upping its stake as the company hit cashflow issues and rating agencies had reclassified it as junk... And of course it recently got hit with a court ruling that it owes the Indian government over Sgd$17 billion in licence fees... Which financial media speculates could have a knock on effect of wiping 4 or 5% off Singtels share value.
Now we see the idiocy that was the Temasek investment in Salt Bae coming home to roost... This came to our attention in the middle of last year when somehow Temasek valued the restaurant chain at $1.2B when it made its investments. Now the debt ridden parent of the chain (and yes it was debt ridden when Temasek bought in to it) is struggling to convince anyone it is even worth $1B... So looks like a fair chunk of the $200m that Temasek put in will vaporize in less than a year.
Along with Bharti Airtel we also saw the recent canning of the Amaravati city project part of the S$4 billion already dumped into Andhra Pradesh by GLCs and related parties so India has not been so good an investment choice after all...
Salt Bae is a mess and a growing loss...

Brad Bowyer urges citizens to use their “democratic rights”
“I’d like my country to evolve by evolution, not revolution"
On Thursday (5 December), political activist Brad Bowyer took to his Facebook to share his thoughts on how the People’s Action Party (PAP) is building more “legal walls to defend itself”.
In his post, Mr Bowyer who is currently a Progress Singapore Party member shared an article that was originally published in the Straits Times (ST) 7 years ago when he was still attached to PAP as a volunteer.
The ST article talked about why he got involved into politics and what he hoped to improve. “It gets to a point where you realise the world you live in is what you make of it. If you’ve got the ability to do something, you have a responsibility to do so.”
Brad Bowyer: Can the govt answer citizens’ questions without having to revert to POFMA
Singapore demographic data states that as of end 2018, we had 3,994,382 local residents.
Of which 3,471,936 were classified as citizens and 522,347 or just over 13% as permanent residents. That was out of a total population of 5,638,676.
To start with that made nearly 38.5% of our population foreign (it is worse now), one of the highest in the world – which on its own – brings with it many societal and cultural pressures, but today I wish to explore the question of Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians (PMET’s).

Singapore’s fake news law: protecting the truth, or restricting free debate?
In May, as Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s top ministers took turns in parliament to hammer home just why they thought the country needed a new law to fight “fake news” despite reservations from activists and academics, the opposition leader rose to dampen their parade.
Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh said his party would not back the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (Pofma) over fears that it could be used as a “proverbial Damocles sword” against those who “do not support the government’s narrative or toe the government’s line”. Still, the law was easily passed because of the parliamentary supermajority held by Lee’s People’s Action Party (PAP) for decades.
K. Shanmugam, the home and law minister who vigorously campaigned to beat back local and international criticism of the law, said at the time that free speech proponents had little to worry about as Pofma only targeted “falsehoods”, “bots”, “trolls” and “fake accounts”.

POFMA, a blank cheque for the government to defame?
Just last week, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) issued three correction orders under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA), upon Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) over three online postings made by the party.
MOM claims that the posts and article from SDP contained “a misleading graphic and false statements of fact”. SDP is required to carry the correction notice at the top of both Facebook posts and the article on its website, which it has done. SDP has also followed the correction notice with a statement of its own saying that while it is complying with the order, the party will also be applying to cancel the correction direction.
The full correction by MOM is posted on the government’s fact-correction site ‘Factually’.
