SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Having come through the Covid-19 pandemic, Singapore is being tested again with an international environment fraught with tension and economic uncertainty as well as global warming, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Sunday.

“From China and Japan to Europe and the US, no region is spared from floods and droughts, heatwaves and wildfires. This will affect food production and prices worldwide. We have not fully felt it in Singapore yet, but it is coming,” said PM Lee.
