Public warned against water activities near Tuas Second Link after chemical tank falls into sea
SINGAPORE: Members of the public are advised to refrain from engaging in primary water contact activities and recreational fishing in the waters surrounding the Tuas Second Link, including areas near Raffles Marina, said the National Environment Agency (NEA) on Thursday (Jul 24). The advisory was issued after a chemical tank fell into the sea from the Second Link on Thursday evening after a collision involving two heavy tankers on the Malaysian side of the checkpoint, the agency added. NEA and other agencies were alerted by their Malaysian counterparts to the incident. "We understand that the other tanker remained intact with no chemical spill on the bridge," said NEA. The chemical tank contained propylene glycol: a non-hazardous, biodegradable liquid. The chemical is commonly used in food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. "Propylene glycol may cause low dissolved oxygen levels in the Lim Chu Kang fish farming zone," said NEA. NEA said that the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has alerted fish farms in the area to be vigilant, have mitigation measures on standby, and to notify SFA if there are abnormal fish and water conditions. NEA added that it is actively monitoring water quality in the affected area.

1,300 names and addresses from traffic police records leaked online
SINGAPORE: About 1,300 names and addresses believed to be from traffic police records were leaked online, said the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) on Thursday (Jul 24). The details were found published online on Jul 18, SPF and CSA said in a joint statement. Names, addresses, NRIC numbers and details of traffic violations were provided by the traffic police to printing vendor Toppan Next Tech (TNT) for the purposes of printing and bulk mailing correspondences to individuals. In April, TNT faced a ransomware attack. The names and addresses are believed to have been compromised then. "This incident was a result of a ransomware attack on TNT's systems," said SPF and CSA, adding that the traffic police's systems were not breached. There is no indication that other information, such as NRIC numbers and details of traffic violations, has been published, said SPF and CSA. SPF will be contacting individuals affected by the leak "as a matter of priority". "As a precautionary measure, those affected are advised to remain vigilant by monitoring their personal accounts for any suspicious activities, including potential phishing attempts or suspicious communications," SPF and CSA said, adding that any unusual activity relating to their accounts should be reported to the police.
