LTA impounds 78 AMDs to tackle rise in fires linked to non-compliant devices in residential areas
Seventy-eight active mobility devices (AMDs) in public areas and housing estates were impounded during the Land Transport Authority's (LTA) islandwide enforcement operation this week. The operation is part of LTA's ongoing efforts to address the rising number of fire incidents involving non-compliant AMDs in residential areas. AMDs include power-assisted bicycles (PABs), personal mobility devices (PMDs) and personal mobility aids. LTA is empowered to take enforcement action against non-compliant PABs and PMDs, and will issue notices to owners of impounded registered devices, it said in a Facebook post on May 23. PABs and e-scooters must be registered with LTA. Owners of unregistered devices can contact LTA for verification and investigation, it added. It is an offence to keep non-compliant PABs. Offenders may be fined up to $10,000 or face imprisonment of up to six months, or both. LTA can impound non-compliant PABs from any location, or any devices found on public paths including Housing Board common corridors and stairwells, if they are deemed to endanger other public path users. It reminded the public to purchase and use devices and parts, including batteries, only from original manufacturers or authorised retailers. In its annual statistics report released on Feb 13, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said that the total number of fires involving AMDs rose from 55 in 2023 to 67 in 2024. Out of the 67 AMD fires, 44 were in residential areas. For more information on AMD-related fires, visit

AMD (AMD) Price Target Raised to $135 on AI Momentum
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD, Financials) saw its stock price target raised by Mizuho to $135, citing stronger growth expectations from its AI portfolio and partnerships. Shares closed at $117.17 on the day of the report, up nearly 12% for the week. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with AMD. Mizuho maintained its Outperform rating and raised AMDs forward earnings multiple for fiscal 2026 to 20.9x from 18.1x, pointing to greater confidence in long-term profit growth. Central to that view is AMDs $10 billion AI collaboration with HUMAIN and the expected launch of its MI355x chips in the second half of 2025. The new products may help offset the impact of the MI308 export ban to China. Mizuho also noted AMDs sound financial footing, supported by a recent $6 billion share repurchase announcement that lifts its total buyback program to $10 billion. AMD introduced its EPYC 4005 Series for small business servers, with support from OVHcloud and Supermicro. Despite a 99 basis-point drop in market share to 21.1% in Q1 2025, according to Mercury Research, Evercore ISI reiterated its $126 price target and Outperform rating on confidence in AMDs datacenter strategy. Investors are watching upcoming product rollouts and further AI deployment as key catalysts. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Hajiji: Active, principled district councillors vital to realising state development policies
Hajiji (seated centre) and guests pose with members of the Tuaran District Council (2025–2027) after the official swearing-in and presentation of appointment letters on Thursday. TUARAN (May 8): Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor has underscored the crucial role of active and principled dstrict councillors (AMD) in supporting the effective implementation of Sabah's state development policies. He emphasised that AMDs should not merely act as the voice of the people, but also serve as efficient agents in delivering government initiatives, particularly those outlined in the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) Development Plan. 'Council members must be more proactive in delivering services to the people. They must be equipped with the necessary knowledge and understanding of their functions, roles and responsibilities. 'This is essential to ensure smooth policy implementation and efficient delivery of aid and development programmes in a transparent and accountable manner,' he said during the oath-taking and letter of appointment ceremony for the 2025–2027 Tuaran District Council members at Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort on Thursday. He noted that the success of the SMJ Development Plan hinges on the commitment of all stakeholders, including local authorities (PBT) and AMDs. AMDs, he added, must work hand-in-hand with the state government to disseminate policy information, government initiatives, and aid programmes right down to the grassroots level. The Chief Minister also highlighted several ongoing and upcoming development projects in the Tuaran district, which include upgrades to essential infrastructure such as roads, water and electricity supply, tourism development and the strengthening of local entrepreneurship. 'No matter how large the development budget may be, it will be meaningless without efficient delivery. Council members must be on the ground, observing issues faced by the people and responding with integrity, sincerity and transparency,' he stressed. Hajiji called on all council members to act as a vital bridge between the people and the government, voicing community concerns at administrative levels and ensuring every government policy and programme is well understood and embraced by the public. He added that this latest cohort of Tuaran District Councillors comprises individuals from diverse backgrounds, including former civil servants, business figures, youth leaders and representatives of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), representing the four state constituencies of Sulaman, Pantai Dalit, Tamparuli and Kiulu. 'This diversity is a strength that will enable more comprehensive policymaking and more effective responses to the needs of the people. 'I believe that with strong commitment and a spirit of teamwork, the council members are fully capable of carrying out their responsibilities in the pursuit of Tuaran's progress and the well-being of its people,' he said. Also present at the ceremony were State Rural Development Minister, Datuk Jahid Jahim; Assistant Minister of Local Government and Housing, Datuk Isnin Aliasnih; Assistant Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment, Datuk Joniston Bangkuai; Tuaran Member of Parliament, Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred Madius Tangau and Pantai Dalit assemblyman Datuk Jasnih Daya.
