Media Release SP Group Offers EV Full Charging In 30 Minutes Singapore, 9 January 2019 – Electric vehicle (EV) users can now fully charge their vehicles in 30 minutes at SP Group’s (SP) island-wide charging network, with the largest number of fast direct current (DC) chargers. SP is building Singapore’s largest public EV charging network with 1,000 points, including 250 DC charging points, by 2020. SP’s first wave of 38 charging points are located at commercial buildings, industrial sites and educational institutions. (See Annex for the list of charging locations) The locations are close to amenities such as food centres, offering drivers greater convenience while waiting for their vehicles to be charged. There are 19 high-powered 50kW direct current (DC) charging points and the other 19 are 43kW alternating current (AC) charging points. These are among the fastest EV charging points in Singapore. The 50kW DC chargers can fully charge a car in 30 minutes. Over the next few years, SP will introduce more high-powered DC charging points of up to 350kW. Other than SP’s, there are six other DC chargers in Singapore. SP’s new additions will be a game-changer in improving the charging turnaround time for EV drivers in Singapore. EV drivers can also enjoy at least 50 per cent cost savings compared to typical Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles for every kilometre travelled. The cost of using SP charging points will be regularly adjusted, mainly influenced by the prevailing electricity costs in Singapore. “Our nation-wide public charging network offers EV drivers fast charging, with greater convenience and a seamless experience through our digital solution, at cost-competitive rates. This will encourage wider adoption of green mobility in Singapore, and enable drivers to save cost,” said Mr Wong Kim Yin, Group Chief Executive Officer of SP Group. EV drivers can use SP Group’s charging service through the SP Utilities mobile application where they can search for the nearest available charging points, receive updates on their charging sessions and make payment. This first wave of locations includes Singapore Polytechnic. The SP charging points there will also serve as an education and research platform, as part of Singapore Polytechnic’s engineering curriculum to train students and adult learners. Thought this collaboration, SP Group and Singapore Polytechnic aim to develop new skills related to EVs and related charging technologies for Singapore. SP Group is also showcasing its charging points at the Singapore Motorshow 2019 at Suntec City from 10 to 13 January 2019. They will be located at the BMW and Hyundai booths.

This, as technology is expected to improve the quality of services and lead to cost savings for law firms, and ultimately, for society, said Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon at the opening of the legal year at the Supreme Court on Monday. Already, online dispute resolution platforms that allow users to find resolution without having to litigate have been implemented in the Netherlands, CJ Menon said, adding that it is “likely just a matter of time” before for the courts over the next five years. A unified One Judiciary IT Steering committee would also be set up to review, revise and update the blueprint initiatives. In tandem, the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) presented its Legal Technology Vision outlining the aims of adopting legal tech and incubating a legal tech scene here. One of the aims, specifically targeting small- and medium-sized law firms, is to encourage adoption of baseline technologies, including office productivity suites, billing and practice management systems. Another is to look into the possibility of collaborative and shared virtual platforms and workspaces, as well as web- and cloud-based tools that can be accessed remotely. This could create a virtual marketplace that matches demand for and supply of Supreme Court ■ Amendments to Criminal Procedure Code to establish Rules Committee expected later this year He also touched on the appointment of three Senior Counsels – judicial commissioner Edmund Leow who is returning to the private sector, the Attorney-General’s Chambers’ (AGC) solicitor-general Kwek Mean Luck, and deputy chief prosecutor of the these avenues that “blend negotiation, mediation and arbitration” legal services, provide information could By be applied Andrea in fields such as motor accident workplace injury yers clients.

The Singapore leg, as the final module, will focus on contracting pilot projects between the start-ups and utilities, according to the Free Electrons website. It will also include an overview of Singapore’s startup ecosystem and market, a final pitch event and an awards ceremony. In between modules, there will be ongoing conversations in the form of technical and business mentoring, and discussions on pilot opportunities. Being part of Free Electrons allows SP to foster international collaboration with some of the world’s largest international utilities, as well as partner some of the world’s most promising startups to develop solutions that could shape Singapore’s, and the world’s, energy future, he added. The initiative by the eight utilities comes at a time of tremendous industry transformation worldwide due to the growing popularity of renewable energy, the decentralisation of the energy system, regulatory uncertainties and disruptive new technologies. In Singapore, the electricity market is also set to be fully liberalised from mid-2018 onwards. Already, numerous independent electricity retailers banking on technology for a competitive edge have entered the market in the past two years, BT recently reported. The Free Electrons programme is open for applications from Jan 9 to Feb 28 this year. The selected start-ups will be announced in April. ■ Civil Justice Commission to wrap up review of processes by year-end ■ Review of medical litigation procedures to be finalised this year ■ Refinement of the Singapore International Commercial Court's rules under way State Courts ■ Employment Claims Tribunal − set up to help employees resolve salary-related disputes in a fast and affordable way − is expected to operate in April ■ New State Courts Tower to be operational by 2020 Family Justice Courts ■ Tweaks to the family justice system are in progress, including devising norms for child maintenance to be based on actuarial data and setting clear professional standards for practitioners In closing his speech, the Chief Justice paid a tribute to outgoing Attorney-General (AG) VK Rajah, who steps down on Jan 13. Congratulating Mr Rajah for his “many remarkable to practise as advocates. But accreditation will function as a mark of recognition that a particular lawyer in fact has particular skills and expertise,” The scheme will have two tiers: a lower tier (accredited specialist) for younger legal practitioners and an upper tier (senior accredited specialist) for more experienced legal practitioners. Candidates will be selected by a panel comprising judges, legal practitioners and industry professionals. The assessment is based on the candidate’s involvement in the practice area and panel interview, among other things. Younger lawyers will have to sit an examination while face a shortage of truck drivers. In this regard, truck platooning technology presents us with an opportunity to boost productivity in both the port PSA International’s regional CEO for South-east Asia, Ong Kim Pong said the progress made in truck platooning “underlines our joint commitment to being future-ready, while also helping us to continue to serve our customers better through fast and efficient inter-terminal container The Business Times understands under 2 million teus (20 foot equivalent units) of cargo annually are being transported between terminals using trucks.

That is why Singapore is a compelling partner to work with on “some of our digital strategy streams”, he added. He said that the MOU would expand and deepen the company’s capabilities in Singapore. He added that 90 per cent of the company’s sales comes from outside its UK home market. He added: “Today 50 per cent of Source: Singapore Supreme Court The specialist accreditation will have to be renewed every two years. SAL said the scheme is expected to benefit more than 900 legal practitioners who practise building and construction law. Former Law Society president and senior counsel Lok Vi Ming, who now runs his own dispute resolution practice, welcomed the accreditation scheme as it will “encourage practitioners to keep up with latest developments in a particular industry or practice area” and will ramp up different expertise. “The public is always looking for product differentiation – people who can deliver better in a particular area larger maritime industry to align job profiles with the aspirations of younger, more technologically savvy Singaporeans. Mr Ong opined that it is timely to move on to the next steps in developing autonomous truck platooning technology as PSA prepares for its future terminals in Tuas. PSA is building the next-generation port (NGP) from our aircraft (engine) sales come from Asia, in 20 years 70 per cent of of our sales will come from this region.” Singapore’s importance lies in the fact that it is a major engine repair and maintenance centre of the company. A*Star chairman, Lim Chuan Poh, noted that Singapore is the largest aviation hub in Asia. The total output from the aerospace industry in Singapore is worth S$8.3 billion out of which 90 per cent comes from MRO activities and the rest from manufacturing. The sector employs 20,000 highly-skilled talent with the vast majority being locals, Mr Lim said. Singapore hosts more than 100 aerospace companies. These include multinationals such as Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Rolls-Royce, and local enterprises such as ST Aerospace, SIA Engineering Com- achievements over the course of more than three decades in the law”, Mr Menon said: “You have devoted yourself tirelessly to advancing the interests of justice throughout your career. There can be no higher calling for a lawyer; and you have discharged it with great distinction.” Veteran lawyer Lucien Wong has been appointed the new AG and will serve a three-year term. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong also thanked Mr Rajah for his outstanding contributions to Singapore in a valedictory letter dated Jan 4. “Of particular note were your decisions that concerned criminal law. You delivered landmark rulings that clarified the law on criminal liability for common intention, as well as aspects of the law on sentencing.

The SAL is also developing the Legal Industry Framework for Training and Education (Lifted), which is part of the nationwide SkillsFuture initiative and will help lawyers develop core and specialist competencies in their areas of practice. For a start, Lifted will identify competencies and courses for corporate and commercial law, family law, legal technologies and legal support roles.

Mr Lim noted that over the years, Rolls-Royce has proven to be one of A*Star’s most valuable partners in collaborative research that “kick-starts innovation” for the industry. “These initiatives not only contribute to the local aerospace sector, but to the overall manufacturing landscape in Singapore,” he added. In 2007, Rolls-Royce joined the A*Star Aerospace Programme consortium as one of its founding members. In 2011, it established a Joint Lab with A*Star’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) in computational engineering. Mr Lim added that Singapore worked with Rolls-Royce and a few other industry partners to set up the Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC) which was officially opened in 2015. Business Times | Tuesday, January 10, 2017 judgements reflected your commitment to a fair criminal justice system that tempers justice with compassion,” Mr Lee wrote. He added that Mr Rajah has done much to improve Singapore’s legal system and has made a difference to a future generation of lawyers. Singapore Power joins global utilities in plan to enlist startups By Andrea Soh sandrea@sph.com.sg @AndreaSohBT Singapore SINGAPORE Power has joined the start-up bandwagon. The grid operator owned by Temasek Holdings on Monday launched an accelerator programme with seven other international utilities to help energy start-ups gain exposure to various markets around the world. The Free Electrons accelerator programme aims to recruit energy start-ups to co-create the next generation of ideas and solutions addressing future trends in clean energy and energy efficiency, among other areas, SP said. The firm initiated the programme with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Electricity Supply Board in Ireland, Energias de Portugal, Innogy in Germany, Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), and Origin Energy and Ausnet Services in Australia. Together the eight utilities have 73 million end customers across more than 40 countries, and a combined net income of US$148 billion. The programme will be managed by two accelerator partners in Silicon Valley: New Energy Nexus and swissnex San Francisco. They have extensive networks in the innovation ecosystem and have experience and expertise in connecting innovators, said SP. As part of the six-month programme, 12 start-ups will gain exposure to various markets around the world by collaborating with major utility firms in three separate week-long modules in Silicon Valley, Lisbon and Dublin, and Singapore. The Singapore leg, as the final module, will focus on contracting pilot projects between the start-ups and utilities, according to the Free Electrons website. It will also include an overview of Singapore’s startup ecosystem and market, a final pitch event and an awards ceremony. In between modules, there will be ongoing conversations in the form of technical and business mentoring, and discussions on pilot opportunities. Being part of Free Electrons allows SP to foster international collaboration with some of the world’s largest international utilities, as well as partner some of the world’s most promising startups to develop solutions that could shape Singapore’s, and the world’s, energy future, he added. The initiative by the eight utilities comes at a time of tremendous industry transformation worldwide due to the growing popularity of renewable energy, the decentralisation of the energy system, regulatory uncertainties and disruptive new technologies. In Singapore, the electricity market is also set to be fully liberalised from mid-2018 onwards. Already, numerous independent electricity retailers banking on technology for a competitive edge have entered the market in the past two years, BT recently reported. The Free Electrons programme is open for applications from Jan 9 to Feb 28 this year. The selected start-ups will be announced in April. Source: The Business times © Singapore Press Holdings Limited.
