Complimenting the Singapore government’s broader efforts to reinvigorate aviation and local hospitality sectors in a safe and calibrated manner, a state-funded COVID-proof facility has expanded by four-fold to 600 guest rooms and 160 meeting rooms for visiting international business executives to manage their deals through the city state.
Each in-person meeting at Connect@Changi, without the need for quarantine upon arrival, represents a small but concrete step towards the resumption of business and economic activities, Aloysius Arlando, CEO, SingEx-Sphere Holdings, one of the consortium partners led by the state-owned Temasek Group that is behind the facility, said on Tuesday.

Media Statement: One-Stop Border Post and the Implementation of BMA Is a Solution to Challenges at Beitbridge
Parliament, Tuesday, 12 January 2021- The Portfolio Committee on Home Affairs is of the view that the implementation of One-Stop Border Post with neighbouring countries and the establishment of the Border Management Authority (BMA) will be a solution to the challenges at Beitbridge Border Post.
The committee today visited Beitbridge Border Post port of entry in response to the challenges faced at this port of entry from the beginning of the festive season. On 18 May 2020 when the committee received a briefing from the department, it identified the One-Stop Border Post and BMA as pillars in the way of ensuring the smooth functioning of the border area and is thus concerned by the slow progress in implementing this policy position.
