Beyond physical techniques, instructors say lessons also focus on building self-esteem, managing emotions and knowing when to walk away from confrontation.

The move comes amid rising concerns over government official impersonation scams, with the police being the most frequently impersonated agency.

The SPF urged the public to remain vigilant, reminding them that government officials will never ask them to disclose banking login details, install unofficial app store applications, transfer money or hand over valuables.

Here’s how she kept it fairSabrina Ho runs a small team of about 15 people where everyone can work flexibly. Employees are allowed to adjust their hours or step away for personal matters, if someone is able to cover their work. But when missed deadlines became a pattern, that flexibility was put to the test.

While SQ213 was coming in to land, its wing appeared very close to hitting the runway.

Facebook user Chris Perry shared video of the incident, captioning it: "“My sister’s plane almost crashes on landing". He also wrote that high winds caused the flight to perform a go-around. The pilots later found a "gap in the gusts" and were successful in a second attempt on landing, according to Perry.

"Glad to have my sister here with us ... for a moment our hearts were in our mouths," he added.

Flight data showed the Airbus A350-900 landed on its second attempt at around 12.35pm.

CNA has reached out to SIA for comment.
