Singapore has just passed a new Platform Workers Bill - aimed at ramping up protection for platform workers such as delivery riders and private-hire and taxi drivers.

They will see higher Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions to support their housing and retirement adequacy, work injury compensation and representation in union-like associations. 

The increased CPF contributions will gradually match those of salaried employees. This will be mandatory for platform workers aged 30 or younger in 2025, and optional for those who are older.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Jean See, Director for Freelancers & Self-Employed at NTUC and Nominated Member of Parliament shares her insights.

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.
