Sino Group's Robert Ng and children designated politically significant persons under foreign interference law
The four individuals were issued notices of intended designation on Apr 7 and did not submit any representations against their intended designations.
'The registrar remains of the view that all four individuals should be designated as politically significant persons base on their declared memberships in foreign legislatures or foreign political organisations,' MHA said.
'The designations of the four individuals are not because they have engaged in any egregious activity.'
Robert Ng, 72, is the eldest son of the late Ng Teng Fong, founder of Singapore property giant Far East Organization, and brother of Philip Ng, who has retired as chief executive officer of FEO.
Robert Ng's children are Daryl Ng, 46; Nikki Ng, 44; and David Ng, 36.
All four members of the Ng family have links to the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference – China's top political advisory body.
The designation as PSPs means that they will be required to make annual disclosures to the Registrar of Foreign and Political Disclosures on foreign affiliations and migrations benefits as well as political donations of S$10,000 or more that they receive and accept.

Britain offers discounts on EVs to boost demand
Find out what's new on ST website and app. The government said the £650 million funding for the Electric Car Grant will be available until 2028/29. LONDON - The British government will offer discounts worth up to £3,750 (S$6,460) to buyers of electric cars priced at £37,000 or below, it said on July 14, under a new scheme that aims to better align consumer demand with net zero emissions targets. The government will spend £650 million on the discount scheme, which will be available from July 16 to consumers once carmakers sign up for the scheme. As part of a wider goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, Britain wants to phase out sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030. But demand for electric cars has stalled with consumers citing high upfront costs as the main barrier. 'This EV grant will not only allow people to keep more of their hard-earned money – it'll help our automotive sector seize one of the biggest opportunities of the 21st century,' Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said. The scheme follows calls from the automotive industry for EV incentives, as carmakers effectively need to sell more EVs each year to meet emissions targets, or pay fines. Britain scrapped a previous incentive scheme for electric vehicle purchases in 2022 as the then-Conservative government shifted focus to spending on expanding the public charging network. A number of European countries including Norway - which has the highest percentage of electric cars in Europe - as well as France and Germany offer incentives for EV buyers including subsidies and exemption from taxes.

Ms Ginny Buckley, chief executive of advice website said nearly one in two electric models will be cheaper thanks to the 'long overdue' incentives. The government said the £650 million funding for the Electric Car Grant will be available until 2028/29. By contrast, carmakers had spent around £6.5 billion on electric car discounts since the government's EV sales targets were introduced at the start of 2024, Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders CEO Mike Hawes told reporters in June. Mr Hawes welcomed the new grant on July 14, saying it was a 'clear signal' that now was the time for drivers to switch to an electric car. REUTERS

Japan leads global long-bond drop as spending takes centre stage
The yield on Japan's 30-year notes jumped the most in two months and those on similar-maturity German bonds flirted with their loftiest levels in 14 years. Yields for long-term debt from Japan and Germany to the UK and France rose on July 14 as growing concern over widening fiscal deficits dented demand. The yield on Japan's 30-year notes jumped the most in two months and those on similar-maturity German bonds flirted with their loftiest levels in 14 years. For these countries, fiscal concerns are usurping central-bank interest-rate policies as the main factor to watch. While the selloff is less pronounced in the US, 30-year yields there still touched the highest in a month. Japanese election largesse and Mr Donald Trump's weekend tariff announcements were the immediate cause of the latest nudge higher. They tapped into deeper concerns about excessive government debt, fire-hose spending, too many bonds coming to market, and inflation that's still much too sticky in developed markets around the world. 'Monetary policy has taken a backseat as primary policy focus, to be replaced by what is happening with budgets and national debts,' said Mr Benoit Anne, senior managing director and head of markets insights group of MFS Investment Management. That's all well and good if investors are willing to finance it, Mr Anne said, but past episodes have shown that investors can quickly develop 'an acute case of fiscal profligacy skepticism.' While shorter-maturity yields track the path of interest rates more closely – and are posting smaller moves on the expectation of cuts – a loss of appetite at the long end of the yield curve is a more direct reflection of the fear that growing piles of sovereign debt around the world could ultimately reach a tipping point. In the US, the rate on 30-year debt was up three basis points to 4.98 per cent as of 11am in New York and has now risen more than 20 basis points since the start of the month. Top stories Swipe.

Singapore Man charged over distributing nearly 3 tonnes of vapes in one day in Bishan, Ubi Avenue 3 Singapore Man allegedly attacks woman with knife at Kallang Wave Mall, to be charged with attempted murder Singapore Ex-cop charged after he allegedly went on MHA portal, unlawfully shared info with man 'The 30-year Treasury is right around 5 per cent and likely breaks back up,' said Mr George Bory, chief investment strategist, fixed income at Allspring Global Investments, on Bloomberg Radio July 14. 'The reality is deficit spending by governments is very prevalent around the world and the relief valve is the long end of the curve.' Investors remain uneasy over the prospect that Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act will add trillions to the national debt pile over the coming decade. Still, those concerns have eased in recent weeks, and the nation's 30-year debt has performed better than most developed nation peers year-to-date, despite dizzying swings. Traders are now looking to key inflation data due July 15. The long-end in the government bond market is 'going to be pinned at these levels,' and will only come down as growth slows, according to Mr Calvin Yeoh, portfolio manager at hedge fund Blue Edge Advisors in Singapore. He's positioned in so-called steepener trades in US Treasuries, betting that two and five-year notes will outperform 10- and 30-year notes, respectively. 'Everyone – the US, Japan, Europe – is on the fiscal bus headed to inflationville with a full tank of gas,' Mr Yeoh said. Japan, Germany Governments are on a path of greater issuance: Berlin abandoned decades of fiscal austerity this year to revamp its military and infrastructure; in Japan, an election struggle in the upper house is prompting pledges of spending hikes and tax cuts to woo voters. The 30-year Japanese yield advanced more than 10 basis points, nearing the record high last seen in May. The BOJ ended its negative rate policy in 2024 and has raised borrowing costs twice since then. Officials are widely expected to keep their benchmark rate unchanged at 0.5 per cent on July 31. Waning demand for super-long notes is also due to traditional buyers such as life insurers trimming purchases – mirroring a similar dynamic in the UK – as well as the BOJ trying to gradually back out of the market after becoming the dominant holder. 'This is a different environment than in the past,' said Barclays Securities Japan head of Japan FX and rates strategy Shinichiro Kadota. 'I think it's quite unique to this election.' In Germany, 30-year notes fell, lifting the yield three basis points to 3.25 per cent, the highest since 2023. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Mr Trump's threat of 30 per cent tariffs would hit exporters in Europe's largest economy 'to the core.' The UK and France, meanwhile, have seen borrowing costs jump as they struggle to reduce their vast debt piles. Strategists at Morgan Stanley point out that while the share of government bonds globally has grown in proportion to all debt – including treasuries, investment grade, high yield, emerging market hard-currency and local-currency debt – they're still 'well below the 2012 peak.' 'However, in the end, investors – not models – judge debt sustainability,' the strategists wrote. BLOOMBERG

On June 30, the media was invited to witness a raid on two massage parlours in Yishun, which were suspected to be providing sexual services. The first outlet was a single-storey unit with four armchairs and five massage beds, separated by partitions. When the media arrived at about 9pm, three men were receiving massages. None were engaged in any sexual activity. The second massage parlour was a two-storey unit which had 10 private rooms. Each room had a notice on the wall warning against sexual activities on the premises. Three women aged between 23 and 45 were arrested for offences under the Women's Charter that night. To clamp down on illegal horse betting activities, raids were conducted at several locations including King George's Avenue, Jurong East, Ang Mo Kio, New Upper Changi Road and Marsiling. More than $29,000 in cash, mobile phones and horse betting paraphernalia were confiscated. A woman and 60 men are being investigated for allegedly acting as illegal bookmakers, runners and punters.

He said: 'This seven-week long operation exemplifies the police's commitment to public security. Through effective collaboration with our law enforcement partners, we have taken decisive action against those who disregard the law.'
