The use of sensitive government information by public officers came under scrutiny in Parliament following a review of 191 property transactions involving civil servants and future MRT stations.

A new study from NUS Medicine is challenging the idea that we naturally become less active as we age. Researchers tracking nearly 2,000 adults in Singapore found university students were the least physically active group, spending more than 10½ hours a day sedentary, while adults in their 70s recorded significantly more physical activity.
