* A track fault due to the loss of power to track side signalling equipment caused a one-hour service disruption between Joo Koon and Boon Lay stations this morning.

* In an island-wide operation last week, 44 people were arrested as part of a syndicate which brought in foreign workers for illegal employment.

* An online report that said Singapore is one of 64 countries which can catch the 2016 Olympics live on the International Olympic Committee YouTube channel is not true.
