‘May you find rainbows in your skies': Outpouring of support for Jetstar Asia staff as closure looms
SINGAPORE: Soon after news broke in June about the closure of low-cost carrier Jetstar Asia, flight attendant Wayne Lee started receiving small gifts and notes from passengers. The in-flight customer service manager was so moved by this that he now keeps the notes with him at all times, tucked into his cabin bag. 'It's a really warm gesture,' Lee told The Straits Times. He said the kindness of passengers has helped him cope with an uncertain future. Wayne Lee was so moved by the gifts from passengers that he now keeps the notes with him at all times, tucked into his cabin bag. - Photo: ST The Singapore-based airline announced on June 11 that it would cease operations on July 31 – more than 20 years after its maiden flight in December 2004. The final flight – from Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila – is scheduled to land at Changi Airport at 9.30pm. More than 500 employees will be laid off when the airline closes. 'I had a sinking feeling,' Lee said, describing how he felt when he heard about the airline's closure.'I'm thinking about my future,' said the 42-year-old Malaysian, who has been a flight attendant since he joined Jetstar Asia in December 2011. Wayne Lee, 42, an in-flight customer service manager with Jetstar Asia, shows the note a passenger left for him. - Photo: ST When asked whether he intends to remain in the industry, his answer was unequivocal: 'I will. I must'. Lee said many Jetstar Asia employees have received an outpouring of support from passengers since June 11. 'It's been really heartwarming.' One note in particular, given to him by a family flying to Krabi, brought tears to his eyes, Lee said. His voice shook as he read the note aloud: 'Thank you for showing up and serving us with a smile despite the heartbreaking and uncertain news. 'We appreciate your dedication to ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the flight. The skies are blue and broad. May you always find rainbows in your skies.' 'I love you, bro!' Captain Roy Agarrado, 57, has been a pilot at Jetstar Asia for 18 years. - Photo: ST Captain Roy Espinosa Agarrado, 57, has been a pilot for 35 years, including 18 with Jetstar Asia. The affable aviator told ST that on a recent flight to Bali, a passenger shouted: 'I love you, bro!' This was after Capt Agarrado had made an announcement thanking passengers for supporting Jetstar Asia. His response? 'Bro, I love you too!' This lightened the mood and put passengers at ease, Capt Agarrado said. It is his habit to banter with passengers and to make announcements from outside the cockpit, preferring to use the PA system that the crew uses. Jetstar Asia shared pictures of the small gifts and many notes its flight and cabin crew have received. - Photo: Jetstar Asia On a recent flight, he told passengers: 'Do you have your boarding passes? Can you just wave it in the air? Save them – in 10 years, you can sell that.' Capt Agarrado, a Filipino, started his career in 1990, flying in the Philippine Air Force for a decade. He then joined two commercial airlines before moving to Jetstar Asia in 2007. On June 10, Capt Agarrado said his pilot chat group on WhatsApp lit up with messages discussing scheduling changes the next day. Jetstar Asia had cancelled seven flights from Changi Airport on June 11 and re-timed another seven. Jetstar Asia staff have received an outpouring of support from passengers as its closure looms. - Photo: Jetstar Asia When his First Officer asked his thoughts, Captain Agarrado told him not to worry. 'I'm pretty sure the company is stable,' he recalls saying. He was woken up by his wife the next morning. She was in tears, having seen the airline's closure on the news. 'Shivers went down my spine,' said Capt Agarrado, a father of three. Jetstar Asia shared with ST pictures of the small gifts and many notes – and even drawings from young passengers – its flight and cabin crew have received, including biscuits, chocolates, pastries and sweets. 'Wishing all of you strength,' one note read. 'This may be a difficult time for you, but every cloud has a silver lining... Thank you for your service and hospitality,' another said. Yet another note said: 'Wherever life takes you next, I hope it's first class.' - The Straits Times/ANN

Global fintech firms expanding in Singapore with larger offices, Asia-Pacific hubs
SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): The region's huge potential as a lucrative market for fintech services is prompting major players to expand their presence here and set up Asia-Pacific hubs. Singapore's business-friendly regulatory regime and proximity to fast-growing economies are making it a key destination for companies in the digital finance sector, they told The Straits Times. Ripple is one firm that recognises the potential. The blockchain payments company opened a bigger office here on July 14. The new workspace at IOI Central Boulevard Towers can accommodate up to 110 employees, well up on its old Robinson Road premises that had a capacity of 74. It has also been hiring, mostly staff in business development, sales, markets and for RippleX – a business unit within Ripple that provides resources for developers to build on the public blockchain XRP Ledger. Singapore, the firm's Asia-Pacific headquarters, handles 50 per cent of Ripple's digital asset payment flows. Ripple president Monica Long pointed to Singapore's significance as a hub, citing the country's clear regulatory framework and support for innovation. 'We see even more opportunity because of the broader global trend with stablecoin payments. We see that opportunity being especially big in the Asia-Pacific, so Singapore being our hub, we expect to grow that business here,' said Ms Long. Stablecoins – a cryptocurrency pegged to another asset such as fiat currency – can be used by businesses transferring funds across borders. Ms Long told ST at Apex 2025, an annual summit for the XRP Ledger community, that Singapore was chosen to host the event in June due to 'the really great collaboration with the Economic Development Board to foster the start-up ecosystem'. Ripple's expansion here mirrors similar moves by other fintech players. British-headquartered digital payments company Wise expanded its Asia-Pacific hub in April. Its new 31,800 sq ft office at Paya Lebar Quarter 3 is 25 per cent larger than its previous space at Paya Lebar Quarter 2. The Singapore team has more than doubled to over 600 since 2022, spanning functions such as engineering, operations, customer service and compliance. Singapore chief executive Shrawan Saraogi, who is also head of Wise's Asia-Pacific expansion, said many of its products, such as the debit card, were rolled out here. A local team led the design, build and launch of the card globally. The Asia-Pacific contributed about 22 per cent of its global revenue for the year ended March 31, 2025, while turnover for the region grew 22 per cent year on year. Mr Saraogi said coping with the different regulations in each country is one of the biggest challenges of expanding in the region. 'In contrast to Europe, where a single licence can be used across multiple markets, every country in Asia needs its own unique set of regulatory permissions before we can offer our services,' he noted. The company overcomes this by spending time understanding local regulations, building strong relationships with regulators and partners, and getting to know customer needs. 'All this is supported by opening local offices and hiring local team members. Having people on the ground... makes a big difference in our expansion journey,' said Mr Saraogi. April was also when Juspay, a global payments technology company based in India, opened an office in Robinson Road to serve as its regional base. The firm also announced a regional partnership with travel giant Agoda, which has adopted a range of Juspay's services. Mr Ishan Sharma, head of business development, said that a significant number of Juspay's India-based clients were expanding into the Asia-Pacific and the firm was getting requests to integrate some payment methods used in these markets. The firm saw the need to have a local presence and hire local talent. The teams started travelling to Singapore in 2023 for market research and created an entity here in November 2024. There are four local hires in the Singapore office, with plans to recruit more, said Mr Sharma. The firm is in discussions with Asian airlines and financial institutions like banks as well as fintech players to provide technology infrastructure. Mr Sharma said a major hurdle faced when setting up in a new market was helping merchants and clients understand the firm's value proposition. 'Making people understand what we do, how it can benefit them – in the initial year or two, it was a challenge,' he said. However, Mr Sharma is not deterred by the different regulations in Asia, given that the firm has experience navigating a heavily regulated market like India. 'Our learnings in the Indian ecosystem are only helping us there. We don't see that as a challenge, we see that as an opportunity,' he added.-- The Straits Times/ANN

No jackpot, but 12 Toto punters still laughing all the way to the bank with RM4.2m each
SINGAPORE, July 18 — Twelve Singapore Pools punters struck it rich with about S$1.2 million (RM4.2 million) each after no one won the S$12.7 million (RM44.5 million) Toto jackpot on July 17. Because it was the fourth draw without a Group 1 winner, the massive prize rolled down to the 12 Group 2 tickets, The Straits Times reported today. The winning numbers were 7, 8, 17, 29, 32, 42 and 1. The winning tickets were bought at places like Tampines, Race Course Road and Toa Payoh, though it's unclear if they were bought solo or shared. Separately, there were 609 winners in Group 3 who will each take home S$1,658 (RM5,810). The jackpot had snowballed from S$1.2 million (RM4.2 million) on July 7 to S$5.8 million (RM20.3 million) on July 14 before hitting its RM44.5 million peak.
