Dyson has declined to reveal how many employees were let go in Singapore today
Would only say that it is constantly changing the make-up of its teams to “have the right skills in the right places” and its “ambitions in Singapore remain unchanged”
Dyson conducts 'surprise' layoffs in Singapore, leaving employees in shock and in 'low morale' channelnewsasia.com/singapor…
Understandably, the atmosphere in Dyson’s office today has been "solemn". Some are worried if they are next; but many others say they are trying to help those affected by the layoffs today
"We will try to support them in the best way we can"

The HFE, or HDB flat eligibility, letter is a new phrase to learn for home buyers in Singapore
Basically, you need this letter before you can buy a new or resale flat
But it hasn’t been easy for some home buyers, who waited for more than a month to get their letters approved
Longer waiting time for flat eligibility letters due to 'system glitches', HDB says cna.asia/3Qh4kvo
These home buyers told CNA that it wasn’t easy to get updates about their applications during the wait
After this article was published today, HDB said it has been "progressively informing" applicants since Jul 20 about the longer time required to process their applications
Validity of HFE letters extended to 9 months! Great news for homebuyers, especially those who endured the long wait of obtaining one when the initiative rolled out in May

You’ve heard of Pilates.
The exercise, that is.
But what you probably haven’t heard is how it originated:
By a German national named Joseph Pilates…
Who invented it while detained in a World War I Internment Camp.
