For the first time since 1989, residents of Housing Board flats are now legally allowed to keep pet cats in their homes.

1st September marks the start of a two-year transition period until 31st August 2026, to help cat owners ease into the changes. By the end of the transition period, all pet cats must be microchipped and licensed.

Up to two cats (and one dog of an approved breed, according to current limits) will be allowed in each flat while private premises can house up to a combination of three cats and/or dogs.

Cat owners are required to apply for a licence using their cat’s microchip number via AVS’ Pet Animal Licensing System. All first-time cat licence applicants will also need to complete a one-time free online pet ownership course. 

On this episode of Morning Shot, Aarthi Sankar, Executive Director, SPCA Singapore shares her first-hand insights.

Bigger Pic: Why Indian markets are still attractive

The drive towards sustainability in the automotive industry is growing, as climate change intensifies and environmental concerns mount.

In Singapore, the ultimate goal is for all vehicles to run on cleaner energy by 2040 as part of its Green Plan. And from 2030, all new cars and taxis registered here will be required to be cleaner-energy models.

But while we’re seeing staggering statistics with the automotive industry annually producing approximately 80 million vehicles, demanding a colossal 112 million tons of materials and contributing to over 10% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, there has been a relentless focus on driving electric vehicle adoption and supply chain decarbonisation that’s redefining the sector’s priorities.

On this episode of Electric Mornings with BYD, James Ng, Managing Director at BYD Singapore and Philippines shares his insights on what Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD has done to support Singapore’s green shift on the mobility front, and how the company’s presence in Singapore has evolved over the years.
