The island of Sentosa and several offshore islands have been gazetted as a special event area for the upcoming summit between US president Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on 12 June.

The order was issued by Permanent Secretary for Home Affairs Pang Kin Keong on Tuesday (5 June).

In a separate order issued by Commissioner of Police Hoong Wee Teck, an area within the island was also gazetted as a special zone.

Within the zone, police are given special powers to search individuals and their possessions, while items such as banners and loud hailers are prohibited.

The special zone includes luxury resort Capella, reportedly a possible venue for the summit.

When a Yahoo News Singapore reporter visited Sentosa on Tuesday afternoon, she was stopped at the start of the road leading to the Capella by an individual, who cited “a private event” and declined to elaborate.

On Monday, the Tanglin area was also gazetted for next week’s summit.

Russia has found the critical vulnerability in Nato’s American tanks
The arrival of the US M1A1 Abrams tanks in Ukraine was hailed as a turning point in the war. Coming in at roughly $10 million a unit, the Nato stalwart was supposed to provide the armoured fist that would punch through the Russian lines. But tactics evolve quickly in warfare, and Russia’s use of surveillance and hunter-killer drones has led to heavy casualties for Ukraine’s tank fleets. This is alarming for NATO. If Russia has found critical vulnerabilities in our armour, our borders are beginni
