DBS CEO share sale: DBS Group chief executive Tan Su Shan sold 100,000 shares on May 15 at $60.12 each, trimming her stake to 0.048%—a move coming weeks after the bank reported $2.93b Q1 earnings. Regional visas tighten: Thailand is rolling back its 60-day visa-free entry for 93 countries to 30 days for 54 nations, with other countries facing visa-on-arrival or shorter stays, citing overstays, crime and illegal work concerns. Anti-scam crackdown: Operation FRONTIER+ III, involving 10 jurisdictions including Brunei, ended with 3,018 arrests and about US$752m in reported losses targeted across e-commerce, job, investment and impersonation scams. Brunei in the spotlight: Brunei’s ΣHAI team won first place at the AI Ready ASEAN Youth Challenge 2026 in Singapore for its AI dementia care platform, Sahabat-Care. Culture and rights: A Dutch embassy-backed exhibition in Thailand highlighted the “Amsterdam Rainbow Dress” and marked Thailand’s first anniversary of marriage equality, while stories from Brunei and others show how criminalisation still shapes fear and stigma.
