  • SINGAPORE – The authorities are investigating reports that a bagel seasoning containing poppy seeds, which are prohibited goods, is being sold in Singapore on online platforms.

    The product from the US, called Trader Joe’s Everything But The Bagel, has poppy seeds listed among its ingredients.

    A spokesperson for the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), in response to queries from The Straits Times, said on Aug 7 that it is investigating the reports and will take the necessary actions, including removing the items from sale.

    Poppy seeds are classified as prohibited goods by CNB because they come from the opium poppy and can contain traces of controlled drugs, said the spokesperson.















  • An athlete convicted of committing credit card fraud against one of her national teammates has won an Olympic gold medal for France in the women’s 15km biathlon, beating her victim to do it.

    Julia Simon, 29, was handed a €15,000 fine and a three-month suspended sentence last October after she was found to have spent more than €2,000 using card details belonging to Justine Braisaz-Bouchet, also 29, who finished in 80th place in the same race. A third member of the French team, Lou Jeanmonnot, won the silver.

    Simon was also found to have used the card details of the team physiotherapist to make purchases between 2021 and 2022. She denied the crime for three years, claiming she had been a victim of identity theft, before finally admitting her guilt in a court hearing in Albertville last October after she was found to have photos of the credit card on her phone. “I confess the accusations but I don’t remember committing them,” she said at the time. “It’s like a blackout.”

    That last line is gold
