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.

Drug trafficker gets death sentence commuted after President Tharman grants clemency
Drug trafficker gets death sentence commuted after President Tharman grants clemency Source: Straits Times Article Date: 18 Aug 2025 Author: Selina Lum The man's sentence for drug trafficking was commuted to life imprisonment. A man who was on death row for drug trafficking has had his death sentence commuted to life imprisonment after succeeding in his petition for clemency, which is rarely granted. Tristan Tan Yi Rui, 33, was sentenced to death in February 2023 after he was found guilty of trafficking 337.6g of methamphetamine. His conviction and sentence were upheld by the Court of Appeal. In response to queries from The Straits Times on Aug 15, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said that on Aug 14, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, on the advice of the Cabinet, granted a pardon to Tan. The statement said the Cabinet was advised that the sentence imposed on Tan was legally sound. 'Nevertheless, a recommendation was made to grant clemency to him because of the specific facts and circumstances of the case,' said MHA. The statement said Tan was arrested as part of a Central Narcotics Bureau operation which involved the arrest of several other subjects. One of the other subjects arrested in the operation, who was tried separately on a capital charge, eventually received a non-capital sentence. 'The Cabinet decided to advise the grant of clemency to Tan to reduce the disparity in their respective outcomes,' the MHA said. The statement added: 'Clemency is an exceptional power that is exercised as an act of executive grace.' The Constitution provides that the President may, on the advice of the Cabinet, grant a pardon, reprieve or respite of the execution of the sentence, or remit the whole or any part of the sentence, penalty or forfeiture imposed by law. In cases involving death row prisoners, a sentence of death may be commuted to a sentence of imprisonment or fine or both, said MHA. The statement did not identify the subject who was given a non-capital sentence. Tan was arrested on Sept 27, 2018, by CNB officers in Tampines. He was behind the wheel of his car, a white Volkswagen, while another man was in the front passenger seat. The officers found 499g of a crystalline substance in a packet, which was analysed and found to contain not less than 337.6g of methamphetamine. The prosecution contended that Tan intended to traffic in the drugs. It relied on evidence showing that he had made arrangements with his drug supplier, known to him as 'Hari', to take possession of the drugs. This included messages found on a mobile phone which involved negotiations with Hari regarding the sale and handover of the drugs. The defence argued that Tan did not know the nature of the drugs nor intended to traffic in them. Tan said the drugs were bought by members of Hari's group, and that he had merely been acting as a driver for the man who was tasked to collect the drugs. Tan testified that he was a regular drug user and that Hari sometimes gave him drugs for free in exchange for favours such as ferrying Hari's friends around in his car. He said the mobile phone was left in his car by one of Hari's friends. In convicting Tan, the High Court found that he was the sole user of the mobile phone, had actual knowledge of the nature of the drugs and had failed to rebut the presumption of possession for the purpose of trafficking. In imposing the mandatory death sentence, the judge said Tan's role was not limited to that of a courier. Moreover, the prosecution did not certify that he had substantively assisted the CNB in disrupting drug activities, which could allow him to be given a life sentence and caning instead of the death penalty. Tan was represented by lawyer Ramesh Tiwary. Source: The Straits Times © SPH Media Limited. Permission required for reproduction. Print

PM Wong delivers National Day Rally: 8 things to know, from job-matching to vaping
[SINGAPORE] Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Sunday (Aug 17) delivered his second National Day Rally since taking office last year. In the most important political address of the year, he said that all Singaporeans had to work together to carry forward what has been inherited from older generations, and write the next chapter of the Singapore story as one. Here are eight key points from the rally: 1. 'Little comfort' from baseline tariff The US has maintained its 10 per cent tariff rate on Singapore, which is the lowest that any country can get. Still, this 'gives us little comfort' , said PM Wong, because no one knows if or when the US might raise the baseline, or set higher tariffs on specific industries such as pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. 'What we do know is that there will be more trade barriers in the world. That means small and open economies like us will feel the squeeze,' he said.

Overarching priority of innovation and technology The government will maintain a strong focus on innovation and technology because this is the way to sustainably raise productivity and improve the lives of citizens, said PM Wong. The government invested heavily in research and development (R&D) over the last two decades, including in biomedical sciences, he noted. It is now applying the same long-term approach to other frontier technologies such as quantum computing. Besides cutting-edge R&D, what is of equal, if not greater, importance is how quickly new technologies are adopted across the entire economy. He assured citizens that even as Singapore embraces artificial intelligence and technology, they will remain at the centre of everything the government does. 3. New job-matching initiative at the town level With Singapore's top economic priority being jobs, the government will launch a new job-matching initiative led by the Community Development Councils. The mayors will share more details soon. Separately, the SkillsFuture Level Up programme will see two enhancements. First, a portion of training allowances can be claimed for part-time courses; and second, the course offerings will be expanded. 4. Tougher penalties for vaping The government will treat vaping as a drug issue and impose much stiffer penalties, said PM Wong. This means jail sentences and more severe punishments for those who sell vapes with harmful substances. There will be supervision and rehabilitation provided to help people quit. A major public education drive is being planned, to be led by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Health. 5. New government-funded traineeships The government will fund a new traineeship programme for fresh graduates from the Institute of Technical Education, polytechnics and universities. PM Wong said the programme will be scaled up if the economy worsens, and that the Singapore Economic Resilience Taskforce will share more details soon. 6. Roll-out of 'Age Well Neighbourhoods' for seniors Singapore can expand on existing care arrangements for seniors to build 'Age Well Neighbourhoods' that support them where they are. The first such neighbourhoods will be in Toa Payoh and 'one or two other areas with a high concentration of seniors', said PM Wong. Older estates can be made more senior-friendly by increasing their spaces and facilities; expanding home-based services; and bringing healthcare services closer to them. 7. Bringing vibrancy to towns in the north PM Wong devoted a sizeable chunk of his speech to highlight plans for three towns in the northern part of Singapore : Woodlands, Kranji and Sembawang. He shared about upcoming projects such as an expanded Woodlands Checkpoint; the upcoming Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link; a new public housing estate in Kranji; and redevelopment of the Sembawang Shipyard area. 8. A 'Singapore Spirit' that binds the nation together PM Wong spoke of the importance of the collective will of Singaporeans, as he described a 'Singapore Spirit' that will bind the nation together and propel it forward. 'We must believe in one another. We must have the conviction that our best days lie ahead,' he said. He noted how the Covid-19 pandemic was the crisis of this current generation, and how Singaporeans stood together at that moment of need. 'We got through the pandemic not only because of government measures, but because of our Singapore Spirit,' he said. 'The spirit we summoned then must not fade. It shouldn't be something that emerges only during a crisis. We must keep this spirit alive, through good times and bad, and make it part of how we live and relate to one another every day.'
