SingTel customers face 3G network issue due to ‘server glitch’
SingTel mobile customers experienced difficulties accessing their 3G network around noon on Wednesday; just a day after M1 customers experienced difficulties with their SMS and voice call services. A SingTel spokesman said, “Some customers may have experienced intermittent difficulties with mobile Internet access at approximately 11:05am due to a server glitch. A back-up server was automatically activated and we advised affected customers that they could continue to access data services by restarting their mobile phones.” The data services were “normalised” within 20 minutes. Voice and SMS services were not affected.

Petitions put spotlight on Health Promotion Board’s FAQ on sexuality
The Health Promotion Board (HPB) published an FAQ about sexuality on its website last November, addressing questions such as “What does it mean to be gay/bisexual?” and “Where can my child find support in Singapore?”. However, the FAQ has gone viral in recent days, making the rounds on Facebook after an individual posted a petition against the FAQ and subsequently sparking a counter-petition. An individual named “Aaron” started it all when he put up an online petition on 3 February to have the FAQ reviewed.

Seventeen South African gold miners trapped a mile underground
South African gold producer Harmony Gold launched a rescue operation on Wednesday to free 17 miners trapped a mile underground by a fire and rock-fall at a mine near Johannesburg. The company said it had made contact with eight miners who had managed to flee to a refuge bay at a depth of 1,700 metres, but the whereabouts of the remaining nine was unknown. "The priority is simultaneously to get the fire under control and to reach the eight that are in the refuge bay and to find the nine who are still unaccounted for," Harmony spokesman James Duncan said.
