It announced on Friday (Sep 18) that it was partnering with the Ministry of Transport and Land Transport Authority to introduce an all-electric commercial ride-hailing service that commuters can book through its app.

While trains and buses remain the most efficient, affordable, reliable and environmentally friendly way to get around Singapore, Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow said autonomous vehicles will add to the capacity of taxis and private-hire fleets and help fill some gaps.

Foreign students can no longer bring in partners and their children while studying, although the new rules will not apply to PhD students from Pacific and ASEAN countries. The changes come amid growing concerns over pressure on housing and infrastructure, as well as calls from the right-wing party, One Nation, for much deeper migration cuts. Overseas students contribute more than A$50 billion a year to Australia's economy, while the disappearance of thousands of short-term visa holders could lead to losses of millions of dollars in spending. Roger Maynard reports from Sydney.

Does this reflect growing racist views in society, or is social media amplifying the racism of a minority? Are we also up against something more sinister, like AI bots creating divisions? Can we have meaningful discussions about hot-button immigration or social issues without resorting to racism and stereotypes? And will the new racial harmony law – which took effect on Sep 15 – put the brakes on racist commentators online, or will it drive them underground? Steven Chia and Tiffany Ang speak with Dr Mathew Mathews from the Institute of Policy Studies and Associate Professor Natalie Pang from the National University of Singapore about what’s driving these conversations, where the lines should be drawn and how we can do better.

The 33-year-old heads to Nagoya after setting a new national record with a time of 24.77s in the women's 50m freestyle in May. She's looking to build on her strong form when the swimming programme begins on Sep 20. Singapore is sending close to 30 swimmers for the upcoming Game. At the last Asian Games at Hangzhou three years ago, Team Singapore only came home with one silver medal in the men's 50m butterfly event. Nadine Yeam reports.

It is the largest of such seizures in recent years. Among them are pig-nosed turtles, ball pythons and leopard geckos. The haul also includes species that are threatened or endangered. All are non-native and cannot legally be sold or kept as pets in Singapore. The animals are now in quarantine at a facility for wildlife rehabilitation. Checks by CNA found posts offering live exotic animals for sale on Telegram, with over 13,000 users in one group. Natalie Ong reports.
