AdvertisementThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Abby Ooi, a therapist, graduate student, and former Singapore Airlines flight attendant. I wanted to become a flight attendant — something I had fantasized about since I was young. But a few months into my second year of working for Singapore Airlines, I started experiencing a lot of stress. After 6 years at Singapore Airlines, I left in February and moved to Sydney a week later. A representative for Singapore Airlines did not respond to a request for comment from BI.

SINGAPORE — A Singapore court on Thursday sentenced a former minister to 12 months in prison for obstructing justice and receiving more than $300,000 worth of gifts, in the first jailing of a former cabinet member in a city-state famous for its clean governance. In a statement posted on the prime minister’s office website, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said he was disappointed and saddened by the case. The case has shocked Singapore, which prides itself on its well-paid and efficient bureaucracy as well as strong and squeaky-clean governance. According to the prosecution, the value of the gifts Iswaran received totaled more than 400,000 Singapore dollars ($308,500). The former minister faced a total of 35 charges, two of which were corruption-related but were later amended to charges of receiving gifts while a public servant.

☆ Ukraine risks North and South Korea-like division, says former Singapore diplomat

Roman Pilipey | Afp | Getty ImagesRussia's war on Ukraine could end with the latter being divided into two — like North and South Korea, according to Singapore's former ambassador to Russia, Bilarhari Kausikan. Kausikan said Trump's approach could force Ukraine into a truce — an agreement to stop fighting but not necessarily to end the war, which could lead to a split in Ukraine. Korea is still at war, North and South, legally, but there is an armistice and a divided country. North and South Korea are officially still at war because an armistice was signed in 1953, not a peace treaty. But while increased military spending from Europe will be Trump's goal, it's won't be enough to deter Russia, Kausikan said.

☆ TikTok CEO, Veteran of Singapore Army, Harvard and Goldman Sachs, Tries to Reassure America

WASHINGTON—TikTok Chief Executive Officer Shou Zi Chew says his company is offering the U.S. government more concessions and oversight than any business in history. On Thursday, the 40-year-old former Singapore army reservist and Goldman Sachs banker is slated to appear in front of a group of lawmakers who say that still isn’t enough. Born and raised in Singapore, then educated in London and at Harvard Business School, Mr. Chew has navigated both Western and Chinese business over the course of his fast rise to the corner office. Many members have threatened to ban TikTok, saying its Chinese ownership poses a national security threat. He runs TikTok from offices in Singapore, but travels often, including frequently to the U.S.
