BBC News | Why a slice of Edinburgh is being bought up by overseas owners AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. New Register of Scotland data shows that one‑third of the 751 titles in Edinburgh’s Quartermile district – a glass‑and‑steel redevelopment between the Old Town and The Meadows – are owned by overseas buyers, with 263 properties registered to foreign addresses. Hong Kong accounts for the largest share (95 titles), followed by Singapore (51) and Malaysia (12), and owners hail from 44 countries including Russia and the Cayman Islands. The Quartermile, built on the former Royal Infirmary site, has become a lucrative hub for offices, hotels and luxury apartments, driving higher rents and attracting international students, investors and affluent expatriates. Experts note that the development’s premium central location fuels its appeal to foreign buyers and reflects a broader trend of foreign ownership in Edinburgh’s property market, where about 5,385 titles across the city are held by non‑UK residents.

Agi: Indonesia, eruzione del vulcano Dukono: 3 morti e 20 dispersi AGI - Una violenta eruzione ha colpito il monte Dukono, situato sull'isola di Halmahera, nella parte orientale dell'Indonesia. Il vulcano ha sprigionato una colonna di fumo e ceneri alta circa 10 chilometri, travolgendo diversi escursionisti che si trovavano nell'area. Secondo quanto riferito dalla polizia locale all'emittente Kompas Tv, il bilancio provvisorio è di tre vittime accertate, ma si teme che il numero possa salire nelle prossime ore. Soccorsi in corso per trarre in salvo gli escursionisti Le squadre di emergenza sono attualmente impegnate nelle operazioni di ricerca per rintracciare circa venti persone risultano ancora disperse. Tra i soggetti coinvolti, è stata confermata la presenza di nove cittadini di Singapore. Iwan Ramdani, funzionario dei soccorsi, ha dichiarato che le squadre sono già in viaggio verso le zone più colpite per tentare i recuperi, precisando tuttavia che non è ancora stato confermato il numero esatto di eventuali feriti.

It's a very short boat ride the one from Singapore to Batam, Indonesia. But it's really a springboard from the globalised, motorised, and carbonised part of the world to the Global South. I have already travelled about 14,000km to come here without taking airplanes and I truly savour the crossing of this physical but most importantly cultural boundary between North and South. The taxi that takes me to the embarkment to Jakarta travels through bumpy roads, which turn into dirt road at the very access to the Pelni (the Indonesian national ferry company) departure point. I am torn between accepting the offer of porters to carry my luggage or carrying it myself. It's little money for me and a lot of money for them. I opt for carrying it myself, as I am short of Indonesian cash and I perceive porters' requests as bordering extortion. I travel 3rd class, because I want to stay as close as possible to the travelling conditions of most travellers. I get a bed in one of the many sleeping halls provided on the ship. A mattress is provided, although it's better not to think of the last time it has been washed. I must say sleeping is hard. People talk loudly throughout the night and kids cry loud. However, I am so tired that I sleep tight. As usual, I am woken up at 4am by the call to the Islamic morning prayer. #RefuseToFly #Slowtravel #Decarbonise #ClimateAction #StrictlyPublicTransport #researcherlife #researcher #Singapore #Indonesia #Batam #FerryTravel #Pelni

I am very proud of my newly bought solar power generator and I use it straightaway on my makeshift office space at the upper deck of the ship taking me to Jakarta. The sunset over the Java sea is, however, a big distraction for my overdue essay...

One of the world’s most threatened primates, Raffles’ banded langur, is getting a lifeline in Singapore. Citizen scientists have identified vital food plants and corridors to reconnect fragmented forests. This community data is key to protecting biodiversity amid intense urban development.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Daojoan/116457221816093505 Singapore is the only city on earth where you can pay $9 for a flat white (we have many Aussie cafes), $15 for a beer, $1.2 million for public housing and the government says things like you don’t need space to have children you can just do it in a closet why is everyone failing at this https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/ministers-rejoinder-to-no-flat-no-child-belief #Singapore #TootSea

Sydney is the only city on Earth where you can pay $9 for a flat white, $11 for a beer, and $1.8 million for a studio apartment, and still have people write op-eds asking why young people won’t have kids.

Can #HongKong win the #AI race? I think it has all of the right ingredients with the main headwind potentially being high #finance costs for #realestate which of course means higher operating costs for #datacenters that run it. However, the availability of enough commercial real estate, attractive tax regime, and vast amounts of power for reasonable prices help, especially compared to #business in #Singapore https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/hong-kong-economy/article/3346561/hong-kongs-bid-win-ai-where-are-road-map-and-guardrails?module=series_ai%27s_impact_on_hong_kong&pgtype=homepage

In #Singapore, the Land #Transport Authority (LTA) will open Circle Line Stage 6 (CCL6), the Downtown Line 3 extension and Thomson-East Coast Line Stage 5 this year. CCL6, linking HarbourFront and Marina Bay, is due to open mid-year, with three more stations on TEL5 and DTL3e in the second half. The additions support the Land Transport Master Plan 2040 goal of eight in 10 households within a 10-minute walk of a station by the 2030s. On the Jurong Region Line, a new Tengah station, JS2A, will open in the mid-2030s, bringing the total to 25. Stage 1 will be delayed by six months to mid-2028 due to complex works, despite efforts to recover pandemic setbacks. Interim shuttle buses will start in late 2027. The Cross Island Line Phase 1 is on track for 2030, with Phase 2 and the Punggol Extension due in 2032. Phase 3 works begin next year. Studies for the Seletar Line, Tengah Line and a West Coast extension will start this year. https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/newsroom/2026/3/news-releases/next-phase-of-rail-development.html

The Land #Transport Authority (LTA) has awarded two civil contracts worth around $735 million for the Downtown Line 2 extension (DTL2e) in #Singapore. Woh Hup Engineering Pte Ltd will build the DE1 underground station along Sungei Kadut Avenue, including a vehicular bridge and pedestrian link over Pang Sua Canal, at $285 million. A joint venture of Samwoh Corporation and China Communications Construction Company (Singapore Branch) will deliver the NS6/DE2 interchange station connecting the DTL and North-South Line for $450 million. Construction will use Earth Retaining and Stabilising Structures due to complex ground conditions near the NSL. Works start Q2 2026, with DTL2e operations targeted for 2035, improving access to Yew Tee, Sungei Kadut Eco-District and the Rail Corridor.
