SINGAPORE: Appliance maker Electrolux said on Tuesday (Jan 10) that it has extended its glass gas cooker hob recall to include another two models.

Last Friday, product safety authorities in Singapore issued a recall for four models of Electrolux glass gas hobs - EGT9637CKP, EGT7637EGP, EGT7637CKP and EGT7627CKP - following reports of “small explosions” and the glass shattering.

At least one user was scalded, SPRING Singapore said. About 5,800 homes were affected, with 80 per cent of these in private developments.

On Tuesday, Electrolux said it has extended the recall to include two FLEXI glass gas hobs that run on town gas - EGT9038CKP and EGT8028CKP - as a “precautionary measure”.

Affected customers who have one of the six recalled hobs can opt for a cheque refund of S$700 or S$800, depending on their model, or a product replacement. Customers will also receive a S$100 voucher as a “goodwill gesture”, it said.

The company added that it is contacting customers who have registered their warranty details and is also meeting property developers to find a solution for homeowners with the recalled products. Customers can also contact the company via its website.

“Electrolux reiterates that this is not a case of product defect as the product models are certified and compliant,” it said.

SINGAPORE: A record-breaking 84.3 per cent of students scored at least five passes in last year’s O-Level examinations, beating a 20-year high attained by the previous cohort, according to results released by the Ministry of Education (MOE) on Wednesday (Jan 11).

The percentage of students who scored five or more passes in 2015 was 83.8 per cent – then the highest proportion since at least 1995.

Last year, 30,292 school candidates sat for the O-Levels, up from 29,723 the previous year. Of these, 30,262 – or 99.9 per cent – passed at least one subject, unchanged from the previous year. A total of 29,221 students, or 96.5 per cent, scored at least three passes, up from 96.1 per cent from 2015.

A total of 1,865 private candidates also sat for the examination last year, compared to 1,983 in 2015. Out of these, 90.2 per cent passed at least one subject, down slightly from 90.5 per cent.

Students can visit MOE’s education and career guidance portal for information on the various educational options available to them after the O-Level examination, the ministry said.
