Punggol Digital District will be Singapore’s first business park to offer businesses ‘plug and play’ digital infrastructure through the Open Digital Platform (ODP), a smart city platform co-developed by ST Engineering, JTC, the Government Technology Agency, Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, and Infocomm Media Development Authority.
Punggol Digital District has adopted the first-of-its-kind Open Digital Platform which promises to transform user and community experience in the future.
Open Digital Platform will enable different systems to work together and smarter
“Tech businesses often lack access and capability to reliable large scale data. They also face challenges when trying to integrate across proprietary systems as they are often in silo operations and are costly to integrate. In Punggol Digital District (PDD), the Open Digital Platform (ODP) is the solution. The interoperability layer in ODP allows district systems to work with each other. Without this layer, such “conversations between systems” will be impossible as they traditionally operate on different communication technologies” explained Mr Ryan Lee, Director, Smart District Division, JTC.
Mr Ryan continued to explain that “like operating systems in your smart phones, the ODP is the equivalent of the operating system in PDD. It is a secured platform connected to a network of sensors and systems in the District. This platform will collect the data from these sensors, make sense of it, and create quality experiences.
Examples of such data would include building data (e.g. lifts, lighting, mechanical & electrical systems, occupancy) and environmental data (e.g. temperature, rainfall). The data will be utilised to allow JTC to optimise its operations.
Beyond operational management, collected data in the ODP is also made available to companies, students & publics to test out new concepts of living, working and delivering services in PDD – a real world live environment. For those more conservative, there is also the PDD virtual environment.
With the repository of real-time district data, the ODP is also able to re-create a virtual PDD twin that allows businesses and students to perform simulations and rapid prototyping in a risk-free and lifelike environment, reducing the cost of experimentation and the Time-to-Market.
PDD is Singapore’s first business park to offer a plug and play digital infrastructure through the ODP. If successful, ODP can be adopted and scaled through other parts of Singapore, where relevant.
“Data Bus” within Open Digital Platform
The Open Digital Platform aims to integrate all the different systems by having a well-defined “data bus”.
Mr James Tan, Deputy Director, Smart Nation Platform Solutions Group, GovTech explained that the data bus within the ODP serves as a high speed interoperability information highway. It is relies on a “publish/subscribe” architecture instead of a standard request/reply communication.
A publish and subscribe architecture allows for high speed real time data streaming with low latency and overhead.
It also has an auto-discovery feature which provides the ODP plug and play capabilities similar to plugging in a USB device into a windows PC. (There are no requirements for a data publisher to negotiate data structures with a subscriber.)
Besides communication, the data bus also features a data schema that documents the relationship of assets within the district. For example, the fan coil unit is “part of” the aircon system. The fan coil unit “has control” over the compressor. This data schema allows the ODP to gain predictive and preventive capabilities.”
Punggol Digital District to be Sustainable and Smart
Punggol Digital District aims to achieve 30% higher energy efficiency than standard commercial buildings and zero water wastage among other things.
Mr James Tan, Deputy Director, Smart Nation Platform Solutions Group, GovTech highlighted that “Sustainability is high on the targets for Smart Cities. Other than installing smart systems that reduce carbon footprints, the ODP aims to link these smart systems together by making them even smarter.”
He gave the example of the same set of sensors within a system (eg, solar panel sensors) can detect atmospheric brightness and publish the information to the ODP. In turn the District Cooling System, Lightings, Blinds, Motorised Shades, can adjust their system accordingly. Water pressure sensors also reduce water wastage when they detect a leak automatically by turning off a valve automatically.
The ODP also features a digital twin where simulations can be conducted to optimise the solar energy harvesting, improve traffic flow within the carpark (reduce carbon footprint), optimise cooling and lighting requirements etc.
“As of March 2020, we have just finalised the system design and architecture, and established the data standards for ODP. In the next 2 years we will complete the development of the platform and test it at JTC Summit. Once the systems are installed in PDD, we will progressively integrate them to the ODP and commission the system before the launch of the district in 2023.”

Departing from one of the busiest airports in the world is about to become a remarkably hassle-free experience. Singaporean ministers have just unveiled plans for an automated immigration clearance system that promises to revolutionise travel with no passport required. This groundbreaking development at Singapore’s Changi Airport is set to launch in 2024.
According to Communications Minister Josephine Teo, this ambitious project intends to eliminate the need for tourists to “repeatedly present their travel documents.” Instead, biometric data gathered from fingerprint scans and facial recognition technology will take the central stage.
While Changi Airport already employs biometric technology in its automated immigration lanes, these upcoming enhancements will take convenience to a whole new level. The goal is to make the entire airport experience smoother and more streamlined for passengers.
Singapore’s Communications Minister, Josephine Teo, proudly announced that Singapore is set to be among “the first few countries in the world” to implement such a groundbreaking system. The first phase of this transformative scheme is expected to roll out early next year, featuring QR code scanning points that will pave the way for the biometric revolution.
These innovations are made possible by recent amendments to Singapore’s immigration laws, which facilitate the widespread adoption of biometric clearance at airports and various other checkpoints. The result will be a travel experience where your personal information seamlessly verifies your identity at every stage, from check-in to boarding.
This monumental shift in travel procedures brings with it a multitude of benefits. Firstly, it eliminates the stress and anxiety associated with keeping track of physical documents throughout the journey. No more worrying about losing the passport or having it stolen, hence, the identity is in the hands, quite literally.
Additionally, using biometric data enhances security measures, making it even more challenging for unauthorised individuals to access restricted areas. It’s a win-win situation for both passengers and airport authorities.
Singapore’s Changi Airport is on the cusp of transforming the way of travelling. The introduction of an automated immigration clearance system powered by biometric data promises a future where passports and boarding passes become relics of the past.
Instead, a simple fingerprint scan or facial recognition will grant access to a seamless, stress-free journey. Singapore is leading the charge into this new era of travel, and the world will be watching closely as the innovation unfolds.
The New Clearance Concept (NCC) and Services Centre Next Generation (SCNG) are two initiatives that the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) implemented to enhance border clearance and registration services, as well as automated immigration clearance and digitalisation.
The Automated Clearance Initiative (ACI), which takes effect in May 2022, allows passport holders from 51 countries to use designated automated immigration lanes without prior enrolment. Over four million international visitors have been enrolled through ACI to date. The electronic visit pass (ePass) contains information on eligible foreign visitors’ enrolment.
During the pandemic-induced slowdown, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), in collaboration with Changi Airport Group and ground handling partners, has accelerated trials of autonomous vehicles (AVs) at Changi Airport’s airside. This time period was used to direct resources and capabilities towards technological and innovative developments.
Advanced robotic systems and adaptive platforms are also being developed to resist varied weather conditions and work well outside. These developments are intended to make aircraft turnaround operations and baggage handling easier, especially in inclement weather. CAAS is committed to strengthening its capabilities in order to manage the anticipated increase in air traffic, with a focus on both safety and efficiency in its operational approach.

A representative of the country’s think tank, the National Institute of Transforming India (NITI Aayog), Ramesh Chand, formally introduced the Unified Portal for Agricultural Statistics (UPAg Portal). This marks a significant step in tackling the complex governance issues in India’s agricultural sector. It is designed to optimise and elevate data management within the agricultural sphere. It will contribute to a more efficient and responsive agricultural policy framework.
The portal standardises data related to prices, production, area, yield, and trade, consolidating it in a single location. This eliminates the necessity to compile data from multiple sources. The portal can also conduct advanced analytics, providing insights into production trends, trade correlations, and consumption patterns.
Furthermore, the portal will produce granular production estimates with increased frequency, improving the government’s capacity to respond swiftly to agricultural crises. Commodity profile reports will be generated using algorithms, reducing subjectivity and providing users with comprehensive insights. Users also have the flexibility to use the portal’s data for crafting their own reports, fostering a culture of data-driven decision-making.
The portal was developed by the Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare (DA&FW). During his speech, Chand hailed the platform as an investment and a monumental leap forward in the field of agricultural data management. He encouraged the audience to embrace a shift in mindset within agriculture, aimed at bringing about transformative changes. Research suggests that US$ 1 invested in data generated a US$ 32 impact, he said.
The portal empowers stakeholders with real-time, reliable, and standardised information, laying the foundation for more effective agricultural policies. He also asserted that when data is more objective, the room for subjective judgment in policy-making diminishes, resulting in more stable, transparent, and well-informed decisions. He advised that the portal should prioritise data credibility to maximise its effectiveness.
Secretary of the DA&FW, Manoj Ahuja, underscored the various ongoing initiatives by the department, such as the Krishi Decision Support System, the farmer registry, and crop surveys. He articulated that the UPAg Portal is envisioned as a public good, aiming to provide users with reduced search costs, minimised obstacles, and access to trustworthy, detailed, and impartial data. According to a press release, the UPAg portal tackles the following challenges:
Lack of Standardised Data: At present, agricultural data is scattered across multiple sources, often presented in diverse formats and units. The UPAg Portal’s objective is to centralise this data into a standardised format, making it easily accessible and understandable for users.
Lack of Verified Data: Reliable data is crucial for accurate policy decisions. UPAg Portal ensures that data from sources like Agmarknet is vetted and updated regularly, ensuring policymakers receive accurate information on agricultural prices.
Fragmented Data Sources: To construct a comprehensive understanding of any crop, it is necessary to consider multiple variables such as production, trade, and prices. The portal consolidates data from various sources, enabling a holistic assessment of agricultural commodities.
Inconsistent Frequency Variables: Data updates at different times, causing delays and inefficiencies. The portal offers real-time connectivity with data sources, reducing the time and effort required for monitoring and analysis.
The UPAg Portal is expected to play a pivotal role within the Digital Public Infrastructure for Agriculture, focusing on harnessing the diversity of the agriculture sector and leveraging data as a catalyst for growth.

In Singapore’s healthcare landscape, Prof Kenneth Mak, Director-General of Health at the Ministry of Health, emphasised the significance of the theme “Reimagining Possibilities – The Pharmacist’s DNA” at this year’s congress which underscores the adaptability and crucial role of pharmacists in healthcare.
Prof Kenneth stated that like DNA’s unchanging core, pharmacists must uphold their fundamental values while adapting to challenges like an ageing population and increasing healthcare expenses. Telemedicine emerges as a pivotal avenue through which pharmacists are driving the transformation of patient-centred care.
“As we journey towards Healthier SG and beyond, pharmacists are at the forefront of digital innovation in healthcare,” said Prof Kenneth. They are embracing telemedicine, collaborating with other healthcare professionals, and continually evolving to meet the challenges of a changing healthcare landscape. The pharmacist’s DNA remains rooted in patient-centred care, but it also incorporates innovation and adaptability, making pharmacists an essential part of the future of healthcare.
Telemedicine, the remote delivery of healthcare services using digital technology, has gained momentum globally, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has revolutionised the way patients access medical care, allowing them to consult with healthcare providers from the comfort of their homes. The integration of pharmacists into telemedicine initiatives holds immense promise in improving healthcare accessibility, efficiency, and patient outcomes.
One significant step towards this future is the Healthier SG campaign, launched by the Ministry of Health in July 2023. This campaign underscores the importance of preventive care in the communities, emphasising healthier lifestyles and overall well-being.
Pharmacists, deeply embedded in their communities, play a crucial role in educating the public on medication management, health screenings, and vaccinations. They also collaborate with family doctors, supporting patients in their journey towards healthier lives, including smoking cessation and adopting healthier behaviours.
Innovations like Pharmaceutical Care Services (PCS) exemplify how pharmacists are empowering patients. PCS, initiated in senior care centres, equips patients and caregivers with the knowledge and tools to manage medications independently. Feedback indicates increased patient confidence in medication management, aligning with the goals of Healthier SG. Expanding PCS to primary care settings like general practitioner clinics and retail pharmacies will make this service even more accessible.
The collaboration between community pharmacies and telemedicine providers represents another leap in healthcare innovation. Pharmacies partnering with telemedicine providers enable them to triage patients, conduct history-taking, and refer them to teleconsultations with doctors. This seamless integration of services ensures patients receive comprehensive care at their convenience, bridging the gap between pharmacy and telemedicine.
The role of digital technology in telemedicine is pivotal, as it enables the delivery of healthcare services remotely, bridging geographical barriers and improving access to care.
Telemedicine platforms serve as comprehensive digital ecosystems that support various aspects of virtual care. They offer features like appointment scheduling, secure video conferencing, electronic health records (EHR) integration, and billing. These platforms streamline the telemedicine workflow for both patients and healthcare providers.
Additionally, digital technology plays a crucial role in the development and use of specialised telemedicine devices, such as telemedicine carts equipped with cameras and medical instruments. These devices are used for remote examinations and diagnostics.
AI-driven algorithms and machine learning models assist healthcare providers in diagnosing conditions, predicting outcomes, and personalising treatment plans. AI can analyse large datasets to identify patterns and trends that might not be readily apparent to humans.
In partnership with the Ministry of Manpower, the Pharmaceutical Society of Singapore (PSS) is contributing to healthcare workforce development. Customised training programmes are being developed to upskill healthcare associates, enabling them to play essential roles in areas like medication management and patient inquiries, particularly in caring for migrant workers.

According to a press release, TRAI acknowledges the importance of digital inclusion as a means to empower every citizen at an opportune time. Without this, there’s a risk that disparities in accessing digital services could continue to expand, further excluding significant portions of society from experiencing inclusive growth. In its consultation paper, TRAI underscores the importance of establishing a strong policy framework and fostering cooperation among various stakeholders to guarantee that individuals can actively engage in digital economic activities.
The paper underscores the importance of establishing a strong policy framework and fostering cooperation among various stakeholders to guarantee that individuals can actively participate in digital economic activities.
The release said that the success of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) in establishing an inclusive financial society has garnered recognition on a global scale. The Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile (JAM) trinity has been important in facilitating transparent direct benefit transfers of welfare subsidies. The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system has empowered users to easily send money from one bank account to another in real time.
Despite these accomplishments, it remains evident that disparities in both internet broadband penetration and its effective usage persist among various segments of society and across different geographical regions.
There are concerns regarding the accessibility, affordability, and safe and effective use of services and applications that rely on broadband connections, particularly among marginalised communities, women, and girls. Additionally, there is a need to ensure the participation of micro or small entrepreneurs operating in remote and difficult terrains or rural areas. These concerns must be addressed promptly, the release noted.
TRAI analysed various gaps in digital inclusion that exist within the country presently, including disparities in mobile internet usage, discrepancies in rural and urban internet penetration, gender-based disparities in internet access, and gaps identified through reference to various global indices.
The rapid progression of technological advancements, including the rollout of 5G-enabled services and the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)-based services, brings with it increased costs to adopting and implementing these technologies on a large scale. This could further exacerbate the digital divide, particularly for marginalised communities and underserved regions.
Furthermore, unequal access to infrastructure, limited digital literacy, and affordability issues could hinder the equitable distribution and use of emerging technologies, intensifying pre-existing disparities in digital inclusion.
The consultation paper, aimed at gathering input from the stakeholders, has been made available on TRAI’s website. Stakeholders are encouraged to submit their written comments on the consultation topics by 16 October and counter comments by 31 October.
India has achieved remarkable advancements in its digital transformation journey, emerging as the world’s second-largest telecom market in terms of subscribers.
