TODAY's morning brief for Wednesday, May 16
Good morning! Here are our top reads of the day:
• The Public Order and Safety (Special Powers) Act will come into force. It empowers the police to issue a "communications stop order" to prevent the public and media from taking videos, pictures, audio recordings, or text messages that could compromise ongoing security operations. Those who breach the order can be jailed for up to two years or fined S$20,000, or both.
