Singapore Airlines cancels Dubai flights amid rising Middle East conflict; MFA confirms 11 Singaporeans evacuated from Iran as conflict widens: Singapore live news

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has suspended flights to and from Dubai after US strikes on Iran triggered fresh security concerns. The cancellations come after a security assessment of escalating regional risks. More SIA flights could be impacted as the situation evolves. FlightRadar24 shows airlines steering clear of airspace over Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Israel, taking longer – and more expensive – routes around the conflict zone.
The move mirrors similar decisions by British Airways, Air France, and US carriers, which are bracing for fuel hikes and volatile conditions. With oil prices rising and tensions unresolved, airlines worldwide are entering turbulence – both literally and financially. More on the flight chaos that hit SIA and other airlines here.
Singapore has evacuated 11 citizens from Iran amid escalating conflict in the region. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) coordinated efforts with Malaysia and Oman, facilitating complex overland and air routes. A family of three was flown to Muscat, while another Singaporean joined a 24-person convoy to Turkmenistan before reaching Kuala Lumpur. Seven others exited via Armenia and the UAE. Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Faishal Ibrahim also reassured students in the Middle East that their safety remains a government priority. The MFA expressed deep appreciation to its regional partners for their support. More on the MFA's evacuation of Singaporeans from Iran here.
Iran is standing at a crossroads after US airstrikes targeted its key nuclear sites in coordination with Israel. With threats flying and missiles already launched toward Israel, Tehran is reportedly weighing a wide range of retaliatory options – from closing the vital Strait of Hormuz to activating regional proxies like the Houthis. The stakes are high as oil markets, US troops, and Middle East stability all hang in the balance. Iran's next move could redraw the regional order. More on how Iran could respond to the bombings of its nuclear facilities here.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has suspended multiple flights to and from Dubai following a security reassessment tied to rising conflict in the Middle East. This move comes after US military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites prompted carriers globally to steer clear of Iranian, Iraqi, and Syrian airspace.
As war risk zones expand, major airlines – including British Airways, Air France, and United Airlines – are also cancelling Gulf-bound flights or diverting around the region, despite increased costs and extended flight times. Flight tracking data shows large portions of regional airspace remain eerily empty.
For Singapore Airlines, the route disruption is significant. Since the closure of Russian skies, Middle East corridors became vital to link Asia with Europe. Now, that lifeline is under threat again. SIA warns that further cancellations are possible as the geopolitical situation remains fluid.
Global air safety groups have flagged heightened risks for US and allied carriers, citing potential retaliatory action from Iran or its proxies. Even as Israel reopens its skies temporarily for rescue operations, the outlook for commercial aviation remains uncertain.
Passengers are urged to check their flight statuses. With airspace tightening and oil prices ticking up, the skies over the Middle East just got a lot more turbulent – for airlines and travellers alike.

As tensions flare in the Middle East, Singapore has evacuated 11 citizens from Iran through a mix of overland and air routes, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) announced on Monday (23 June).
The evacuations included a family of three flown to Oman and a solo traveller who joined a Malaysian-led convoy to Turkmenistan, eventually arriving in Kuala Lumpur.
Seven others left via Armenia and the UAE, aided by MFA's remote consular support. The ministry praised Malaysia and Oman for their critical assistance.
Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Faishal Ibrahim also held a video call with students in Egypt and Jordan, reinforcing the government's commitment to their safety.
Singaporeans in the region are urged to remain vigilant and consider leaving while commercial routes remain open.
Iran is calculating its next move after US and Israeli forces bombed key nuclear facilities, an escalation that shattered years of strategic ambiguity. Now, Tehran is openly weighing options – from missile salvos to shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global oil – after saying diplomacy is no longer an option while issuing a warning of "everlasting consequence".
Tensions have surged across the region. Parliament in Tehran has voted to consider sealing the Strait, which handles nearly 20 per cent of the world's oil supply. While experts warn this could backfire economically, even the threat has rattled markets and drawn warnings from Washington.
Military retaliation is also on the table. Iran's arsenal of ballistic missiles and drones could target US bases in the Gulf, while its proxy allies – like Yemen's Houthis and militias in Iraq – stand ready to strike with plausible deniability. The recent launch of Iran's "Khaybar" missile underscores its offensive capability.
Beyond direct attacks, Iran may also pull the nuclear card. Analysts fear Tehran could abandon the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and fast-track uranium enrichment, a scenario that echoes North Korea's nuclear pivot in the 2000s.
What comes next could reshape not just the Middle East, but energy markets and global security architecture. Tehran holds powerful cards – whether it plays them depends on how far the US is willing to go.

Three students at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) were slapped with zero marks for allegedly using generative AI tools in a health and politics module. The university cited fake references and broken links as evidence of academic misconduct.
Two students admitted to using AI tools, while a third claimed she used only a citation organiser and was unaware it qualified as AI, according to the Straits Times. All three say they submitted proof of their writing process, including version histories and time-lapse recordings.
The students allege the disciplinary process lacked transparency and fairness. One student said her appeal was dismissed despite submitting extensive documentation.
The professor had explicitly banned AI tools in the syllabus, warning students they'd receive zero marks if caught. The assignment was worth 45 per cent of the final grade.
Singapore's Odette continues to shine on the global culinary stage, coming in at No 25 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list, cementing its place as a culinary institution.
Although it dropped one spot from last year, the three-Michelin-starred restaurant remains the only Singaporean establishment in the top 50. Singapore's other notable entries – Burnt Ends and Labyrinth – dropped further down the top 100.
Chef Julien Royer marks Odette's 10th anniversary with gratitude, crediting his team's passion and dedication.
Meanwhile, regional competitors in Bangkok and Tokyo climbed dramatically in the rankings, indicating a shifting foodscape in Asia.
Despite stiff competition, Odette's continued recognition reinforces its status as Singapore's fine-dining crown jewel.

Singapore's tourism watchdog has pulled the plug on six travel agencies for breaching financial reporting rules and failing to meet capital requirements.
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) announced that Gemini Travel n Tours, Intersys, SGWanka, VS Travel and Wizfair Travel are no longer authorised to operate.
Zayn Travels has filed an appeal regarding the revocation of its licence. Pending the outcome of STB's review, its name will not appear on its list of revoked licences.
The agencies repeatedly failed to submit audited financial statements and annual business returns. One also fell short of the $100,000 net value threshold required by law.
STB has instructed the firms to refund customers or hand over obligations to licensed agents. The board warned that further enforcement actions will follow if standards aren't met.
Consumers are advised to check the TRUST website for up-to-date listings of licensed travel agents.
Singapore's core inflation ticked back down to 0.6 per cent in May, thanks to slower increases in non-cooked food and car prices.
Headline inflation dipped to 0.8 per cent, with flat month-on-month core readings indicating price stability.
MAS and MTI held their 2025 inflation forecast steady at 0.5–1.5 per cent but flagged growing uncertainties in the global economy.
A recent MAS survey also showed economists cutting GDP and inflation expectations, bracing for more policy loosening.
While domestic subsidies ease the pressure, geopolitical risks and trade frictions could yet jolt prices upward.
Despite legal protections, many Singaporeans still hesitate to take sick leave. The reason? A deep-rooted culture of guilt and presenteeism. Even with a medical certificate (MC), many feel they're letting the team down.
From chronic illness sufferers to overworked execs, employees report feeling judged for staying home, even when seriously ill.
Experts warn this mindset is outdated and dangerous. Rest is essential for recovery, and pushing through can lead to burnout or worse.
The rise of telemedicine and hybrid work has blurred boundaries, making it harder to justify full days off. But HR professionals say trust is key.

Pop star Camila Cabello has pulled the plug on her 12 August concert in Singapore, citing an 'unexpected scheduling conflict.' The show, part of her 'Yours, C' tour, was to be held at The Star Theatre and would have marked her first performance in the city-state.
Ticketmaster.sg confirmed the cancellation and announced that full refunds will be issued via the original payment method. However, fans may have to wait up to 40 business days for processing.
This isn't an isolated hiccup. The singer also cancelled multiple shows in Spain earlier this month, including appearances at the Starlite Occident Festival in Marbella and the Alma Occident Festival in Madrid and Barcelona. No official explanation about the cancellations has been given beyond scheduling issues.
Cabello is still slated to perform in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on 14 August, and will appear at major music festivals in Osaka, Tokyo, Jakarta, and Bangkok. Her European leg continues with stops in Le Barcarès and Paris at the end of June.
Since launching her solo career in 2016 after leaving the girl group Fifth Harmony, Cabello has become a global pop force. Her hits 'Havana' and 'Señorita' topped charts worldwide, and her latest album C,XOXO, released in June 2024, continues to draw critical and commercial attention.
Singaporean fans may be disappointed, but they're not alone. With multiple cancellations and a packed tour calendar, Cabello's globe-trotting schedule seems to be hitting a few sour notes.
With just over six months to go, more than 70 per cent of Singaporeans eligible for the one-off $500 SkillsFuture credit top-up still haven't used it. Issued in 2020 to encourage upskilling during the pandemic, the credit expires on 31 December 2025 – with no plans for extension.
Despite rising demand for courses in AI, cybersecurity, and digital marketing, only 28 per cent have tapped into the credit. That leaves roughly 1.8 million Singaporeans at risk of missing out on free career development funds.
SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) is now intensifying its outreach – rolling out reminder emails, promoting its Careers and Skills Passport, and offering free advisory services. But with the deadline fast approaching, the agency says the onus is on individuals to act.
Notably, Singaporeans aged 40 and above now receive an additional $4,000 mid-career credit, but this is separate from the $500 top-up at risk of expiry. To qualify, courses must begin and be claimed by the end of 2025.

Fed officials are starting to break rank and join Trump

Some Federal Reserve officials are joining President Donald Trump in calling for lower interest rates as soon as July. Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman on Monday downplayed the potential impacts of Trump's tariffs on prices and said the US central bank should swiftly lower rates to preserve the labor market's health. 'It is time to consider adjusting the policy rate,' Bowman said. 'Should inflation pressures remain contained, I would support lowering the policy rate as soon as our next meeting in order to bring it closer to its neutral setting and to sustain a healthy labor market.' Bowman is the second Fed official to join Trump in calling for lower borrowing costs. On Friday, Fed Governor Christopher Waller said tariffs will likely only result in a 'one-off' increase in inflation. Both Bowman and Waller are Trump appointees. For months, Fed officials have said they prefer to wait to see how Trump's major policy shifts affect the US economy first before considering further rate cuts. At its policy meeting earlier this month, the Fed kept its benchmark lending rate unchanged for the fourth consecutive time. But that strategy hasn't sat well with Trump, who has relentlessly lashed out at the central bank and its leader, Fed Chair Jerome Powell, for not lowering rates. Trump has hurled various insults at Powell, describing him as a 'fool' and a 'numbskull.' Now, the Fed's wait-and-see posture is slowly crumbling, even as tensions in the Middle East heat up, which raises the risk of higher global energy prices. And the jury is still out on the ultimate impact of Trump's tariffs. Bowman said it's possible the Israel-Iran conflict — which escalated over the weekend with the US striking at three Iranian nuclear sites — results in higher commodity prices. And there's still the lingering possibility of Trump's trade war also pushing up prices, she said. Still, that may not even result in higher consumer prices because businesses don't have much leverage to hike prices this time around, Bowman said. 'I am certainly attentive to these inflation risks, but I am not yet seeing a major concern, as some retailers seem unwilling to raise prices for essentials due to high price sensitivity among low-income consumers and as supply chains appear to be largely unaffected so far,' Bowman said. Bowman isn't the only Fed official seemingly not worried about the potential economic impact of the Israel-Iran conflict. Powell has said higher energy prices spurred by the conflict will likely be short lived. 'When there's turmoil in the Middle East, you may see a spike in energy prices, but it tends to come down. Those things don't generally tend to have lasting effects on inflation, although of course in the 1970s, they famously did,' Powell said in a news conference following the Fed's June 17-18 policy meeting. 'But, we haven't seen anything like that now. The U.S. economy is far less dependent on foreign oil than it was back in the 1970s,' he added. Economists have said the economic impact of the current conflict largely depends on how out of hand it gets. A forecast from analysts at EY-Parthenon shows that the US economy could contract by a massive 1.9% annualized rate if the Middle East plunges into an all-out regional war. But in a 'contained' scenario, the US economy could contract only slightly.
