Singapore opens new facility for gallium nitride, an emerging semiconductor material
Singapore could be the next big innovator in fast chargers and electric cars, thanks to a new centre focused on gallium nitride, an emerging semiconductor material. Run by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), the facility aims to power R&D to help firms and researchers turn tiny chips into high-impact tech for the global market. Gallium nitride can operate at higher voltages and generate less heat compared to traditional silicon semiconductors. Rachel Teng reports.

Man suffers gunshot wound while cycling in restricted area near SAF live-firing activity
A 42-year-old man sustained a gunshot wound about two kilometres away from a live-firing activity conducted by the Singapore Armed Forces yesterday. The police said the man was cycling with his friends near the Nee Soon 500m Open Range, a restricted area that the public does not have access to. He is in a stable condition at the National University Hospital. Under the Military Manoeuvres Act, the public is not allowed to enter gazetted areas meant for live-firing exercises. Investigations are ongoing and foul play is not suspected. Nee Soon Range has suspended live-firing activities as a precautionary measure. Rachel Teng reports.

Yishun, Punggol cat deaths likely caused by vehicle accidents, not abuse: NParks
Authorities have debunked suggestions that a serial cat killer is on the loose in Nee Soon. Investigations by the National Parks Board conclude that, out of the two dead felines found there over the past few weeks, at least one was likely a victim of a vehicle accident. NParks said its post mortem on community cat King Kong's carcass found no evidence of penetrating or sharp force wounds, which would have been likely in a case of abuse. Rather, the cat had fractures on its pelvis and breastbone, and a slight jutting out of its right eye. Rachel Teng reports.
