Hello to all our readers, Yahoo Singapore will be bringing you live news updates today. The editorial team will be curating the latest must-know local and international news.

First off, In response to US President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, Singapore’s leaders are calling for national unity as the country braces for economic disruptions. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong warned of potential global trade tensions while urging Singaporeans to stay vigilant and resilient. Leader of the Opposition and Workers' Party chief Pritam Singhechoed Wong’s message, emphasising the need for collective action and solidarity. As Trump’s tariffs on Singapore and other nations could escalate tensions, Southeast Asian leaders are also taking varied approaches, with Malaysia focusing on economic strength, Vietnam seeking tariff delays, and Indonesia pursuing diplomatic solutions. The future remains uncertain, but Singapore’s unity and adaptability remain its strongest assets.

Meanwhile, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) has announced a $165 million upgrade to 17 neighbourhoods, benefiting over 36,000 households. The latest batch of the Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP) includes enhancements like covered linkways, drop-off porches, and fitness corners. Additionally, the Silver Upgrading Programme (SUP)will introduce age-friendly features like therapeutic gardens for seniors. As part of this initiative, the government will also increase the Lift Access Housing Grant (LHG) to assist those needing homes with direct lift access. The ongoing upgrading projects reflect Singapore’s commitment to creating accessible, liveable spaces for all residents, especially seniors.
 
The $165 million upgrading plan for 36,000 HDB households is paid for by taxpayers' money. This is classic pork barrel politics.
 
I came across a mini-convoy of expat cyclists during morning rush hour along the bus lane last week near my home.

Hats off to them. Be thankful that they have come to help Singapore step up to the world stage.
 
A relief package is expected to be introduced to mitigate the damage caused by the trade war. The government may use this opportunity to stabilize the market, potentially timing its announcement to coincide it as an election year and may choose to conduct it in the May/June school holiday

In times of crisis, we need cooler heads like LKY, instead of crying Ah Wong and Ah Loong…
