NDP 2025: Flying of kites, drones not allowed in some areas on selected dates
The temporary restricted areas help ensure the safety of the public and low-flying aircraft involved in aerial activities in preparation for the National Day Parade, CAAS and the parade's executive committee said in a joint news release.
These areas will encompass the Padang and other parts of Singapore, extending from ground level to 2,500 feet above mean sea level.
"Due to flight operational and safety requirements, the temporary restricted areas will cover most of Singapore on Saturdays and National Day," the authorities said.
The restrictions will be in effect on several dates between Jun 9 and Aug 9. In the event of poor weather conditions on any of the planned dates, the reserve date of Aug 16 may also be used.
"During the stated dates and times, the conduct of all aerial activities, including kite-flying, hoisting of captive balloons and flying of unmanned aircraft such as drones into and within the temporary restricted areas, is strictly prohibited, unless the required permits have been obtained from the CAAS," the authorities said.
Carrying out aerial and unmanned aircraft activities in the temporary restricted areas without the required permits from CAAS is an offence.
Under the Air Navigation Order, which covers aerial activities, first-time offenders may be fined up to S$20,000. Repeat offenders may be fined up to S$40,000, jailed up to 15 months, or both.
Under the Air Navigation (101 – Unmanned Aircraft Operations) Regulations 2019, which covers unmanned aircraft activities, first-time offenders may be fined up to S$50,000, jailed up to two years, or both. Repeat offenders may be fined up to S$100,000, jailed for up to five years, or both.
Other than the temporary restricted areas, existing restrictions on the conduct of aerial and unmanned aircraft activities within 5km of aerodromes, danger areas, prohibited areas, restricted areas, and protected areas remain in force.
"Members of the public are reminded to check the OneMap.sg website or the OneMap app for information on areas where the conduct of aerial activities is prohibited or requires a permit", said CAAS.

Djokovic confident for Wimbledon title tilt, Swiatek wary of Collins
LONDON - Seven-times champion Novak Djokovic takes on Miomir Kecmanovic, while Poland's Iga Swiatek faces Danielle Collins as the third round of Wimbledon continues on Saturday. TOP MEN'S MATCH: MIOMIR KECMANOVIC V NOVAK DJOKOVIC Djokovic, since winning his last Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open in 2023, has had to endure a string of narrow misses in his bid to claim a record 25th major and move past Margaret Court at the top of the leaderboard. The former world number one has lost one Grand Slam final and three semi-finals since then, but his faith has not wavered and he served up a reminder of his prowess with a 6-3 6-2 6-0 demolition of Briton Dan Evans in the second round. "If I play like today, I feel like I have a very good chance against anybody, really, on the Centre Court of Wimbledon, a place where I maybe feel the most comfortable on any court," Djokovic told reporters after the win. "Rod Laver Arena and Wimbledon Centre Court are the two courts where I've done so well throughout my career. I felt great physically, mentally sharp. Game-wise, I'm playing as well as I can, really, on grass. So hopefully I can keep it up ... "The aspirations and objectives are very high, to go all the way." Top stories Swipe. Select.

TOP WOMEN'S MATCH: IGA SWIATEK V DANIELLE COLLINS Five-times Grand Slam champion Swiatek has been far from her brilliant best in recent months, but a run to the final of the Bad Homburg Open last month will have bolstered her belief as she looks to win her first grasscourt title. The Pole next faces former Australian Open finalist Danielle Collins, against whom she has a 7-2 head-to-head record, but the American emerged victorious when the two last met at the Italian Open in May. "(She's a) flat hitter, baseline player. Solid serve. Likes to be proactive, be aggressive," eighth seed Swiatek said of Collins after her 5-7 6-2 6-1 comeback victory over Caty McNally in the second round. STRUGGLING KREJCIKOVA MEETS NAVARRO Barbora Krejcikova limped through the opening two rounds after being taken to three sets by Caroline Dolehide and Alexandra Eala, raising questions over how the 17th seed will fare in her first real test of the tournament. The defending champion is up against American world number 10 Emma Navarro, who believes she has what it takes to defuse the threat posed by the Czech. "I think it would be a huge challenge, for sure. She's confident on this surface, and she knows she has what it takes to go all the way," Navarro said. "But from my end I feel like I have a lot of tools and the ability to sort of combat that."

Money laundering case: MAS slaps 9 financial institutions with S$27.45m in penalties
Credit Suisse, UOB and UBS were among nine financial institutions that have been slapped with S$27.45 million in penalties for breaches related to the 2023 money laundering case involving more than S$3 billion in assets. Action has also been taken against 18 individuals involved in managing relationships with suspects in the case. MAS added that this marked the conclusion of its enforcement actions against financial institutions with a 'material nexus' to the money laundering case. However, it may take action against 'a few remaining individuals' after ongoing court proceedings or investigations conclude.
