The violence appeared to abate after Egypt brokered a ceasefire, but sporadic fighting continued after the truce was announced. 

New cycling paths will be built in Woodlands, Toa Payoh, Choa Chu Kang, Geylang and Queenstown over the next five years, to add to the 120km of cycling paths and 300km of park connectors that now cross the island. By 2030, there should be 700km of cycling paths in all 26 Housing Board towns.
