For a few days, AI chip juggernaut Nvidia sat on the throne as the world’s biggest company, but behind its staggering success are questions on whether new entrants can stake a claim to the artificial intelligence bonanza.
SINGAPORE : With the removal of oil from the sea and oil-soaked sand from affected beaches largely completed, the authorities are moving to the next phase of the cleanup of a 400-tonne spill.
Public areas will reopen progressively after the cleanup work is done, Ms Fu said, adding that the hope is to reopen less affected areas earlier, like certain stretches of East Coast Park. Giving an update on the cleanup, Ms Fu said of the next phase: “We think that three months is a good gauge, but we are getting ourselves ready for surprises.
She said the Government is also mindful of keeping workers safe, as they will have to navigate rocky terrain that may be slippery. Precautions will also be taken when cleaning up bio-sensitive areas during this next phase, she added. To date, about 550 tonnes of oil-soaked sand and debris from affected beaches has been removed and sent to toxic waste treatment facilities for safe treatment and disposal.Meanwhile, MPA will start to remove the remaining oil left onboard bunker vessel Marine Honour, which was damaged during the June 14 incident, said Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat.There are about 400 tonnes of oil left in Marine Honour’s damaged tank, and another 800 tonnes of oil stored in other undamaged tanks.
He said Singapore has a well-established set of standard operating procedures for oil spills, and it conducts oil spill response exercises every two years. The last one was conducted in 2022, with the next exercise planned for October this year. SFA has provided absorbent pads and canvas sheets to the fish farms as part of precautionary measures, and twice daily food safety tests indicate that local fish are safe for consumption, Ms Fu said.On business affected by the oil spill, Ms Fu said the Government is in touch with them and closely monitoring the business impact.
