Singapore local news morning update for February 01, 2026. Happy Sunday! We are kicking off the new month with a mix of serious health updates and some great news for aspiring homeowners. First, we look at a concerning trend regarding cancer diagnoses among teens and young adults in the city, alongside a security update involving a joint drug bust in Batam.
Shifting gears to housing, HDB has announced shorter waiting times for upcoming BTO projects, specifically highlighting a development in Tampines that will be ready in record time. We also take a look at how Singapore is upgrading its traffic signs to keep our roads safer.
Finally, we celebrate local talent making waves abroad with a Singaporean chef heading a Michelin-starred kitchen in New York, and we end on the absolute cutest note possible regarding a baby boom at our wildlife parks.
