The short-haired auntie who was seen in a viral video throwing a chair at another woman before getting socked in the face repeatedly by another man, has since come forward with her side of the story.
The fight happened at a Getai at Lor Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple Association, located at 15 Arumugam Road, on 10 August.
The short-haired auntie told media outlets that she reserved a seat for her friend at the Getai, but the couple in the video then arrived and threw away a cup of coffee and bun that was left on the seat, before sitting down.
She added that she received 2 stitches on her face and is adamant that she has done nothing wrong.
However, several netizens who purportedly know her said that she regularly chopes seats when she’s not supposed to.
Netizens’ comments
I know this aunty! She always tie up the seats at the ge tai then sell to people! It is not right because the seats do not belong to her too. If u try to argue with her she will get very aggressive and starts hurling vulgarities at you

The Police have arrested an 18-year-old man for his suspected involvement in a series of e-commerce scams involving the sale of Marquee Singapore tickets.
On 31 July 2022, the Police received information about a scam variant involving the sale of Marquee Singapore tickets on Telegram, where victims were purportedly deceived into making advance payments to scammers to secure tickets for entry to Marquee Singapore.
The victims came across posts made on a Telegram groupchat known as “SG Clubbing”. These posts advertised the sale of Marquee Singapore tickets, for various events that were sold out on the official website of Marquee Singapore.
Through extensive investigations, officers from the Commercial Affairs Department established the identity of the main perpetrator of the scam and arrested him on 10 August 2022. Preliminary investigations revealed that the man is believed to be involved in more than 30 counts of e-commerce scams involving about $8500.
The man will be charged in court on 12 August 2022 with the offence of cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code 1871, which is punishable with an imprisonment term of up to 10 years and a fine.
The Police take a serious view of persons who may be involved in scams and frauds, and perpetrators will be dealt with in accordance with the law. The Police would like to advise members of the public to be careful when making online purchases and to adopt the following crime prevention measures:
Purchase only from authorised sellers or reputable sources. Buying cheap tickets from re-sellers is risky – If the price is too good to be true, it probably is;
When purchasing tickets online, use escrow payment options that protect buyers by releasing payment to the seller only upon delivery, where possible. Avoid making advance payments or direct bank transfers to the seller as this method does not offer any protection to buyers; and
Arrange for a physical meet-up with the seller to verify the authenticity of the tickets or items prior to making payment. Bear in mind that the party that you are dealing with online is a stranger.

Dining out can often be a fun experience, and sometimes weird things happen.
A netizen ordered a 10-inch pizza but received a pizza that is 8.6 inches. This is something that happens quite often to restaurants selling pizza.
Most of the time the pizza sizes are never the right size and tend to be slightly smaller.
Here is what the netizen said:
Ordered 10 Inch Pizza, But got only 8.6 Inches.
I got what I ordered, but in the receipt, they printed Hawaiian Pizza since both are the same price.
Here are what netizens think:
Nothing wrong what!! Its normal price Ah. Isn’t it?
Lol that vegetable pizza not Hawaiian and 10inch maybe the box they claim haha
The dough 10’’ before cooking.. will shrink hahahaha
Wrong order? That is not a Hawaiian pizza..
Edit: okay, noted that the order was correct. Then I guess they base their measurement on the box maybe.
Pizza Fact – What size is the most value for money
An engineer did a calculation and stated that one should always buy the largest pizza as it is normally a few dollars more but the volume and weight of the pizza are worth more than the extra few dollars for the upsize.
One would think that getting an 8-inch pizza and a 16-inch pizza is the same value but a Youtuber used maths to solve the equation.
Facebook user Jack Lisa shared his frustration with the design of a bus stop located outside Punggol MRT station.
He laments the erection of a pillar in front of him that is blocking his view and he can’t see if his bus is coming or not.
Here is what he said
Whoever designed this bus stop is really dumb… I wonder how to see if the bus is coming.. the only way you can see the bus coming is you have to stand near the main road to see the bus coming then I see no point having the chairs there….
I think the pillars should be built behind the sign board side and not in front… this is at Punggol mrt outside
Netizens’ comments
because the pillar is to support the huge shade above so you don’t get wet boarding the bus on a rainy day. sheesh. only know how to complain. what’s more, these days there are apps to tell you when the bus is arriving so you don’t get surprised. or if you don’t have the app, just stop staring at your phones and watch out once in a while, cannot is it?
Maybe should just remove the shelter and nobody will complain the design.
Facebook user Manmeet Singh shared how he lodged a police report following a dispute and argument with a woman at an eatery.
He was apparently unhappy at the woman for “choping” a table with a packet of tissue paper.
Here is what he said
‘DOWN WITH TISSUE CHOP TABLE!!!’
(The first mistake this lady did was to eavesdrop on me and my friend’s conversation. Then she ignorantly left her queue to place her Tissue on the table.
Secondly, yes there were empty tables but the queue was long and mostly elderly sick and weak folks that she cared less.
Third, if I were to carry my weight around, then I would have taken her queue but no she jumped in and started to react to my conversation with my friend. Is that wrong.
Fourth, after all the bad attitude towards me and my gf I don’t see why I shouldn’t react.
Fifth, after repeating to her to stop provoking me I burst and she saw and felt embarrassed with the stares she was receiving and calm down pats I was receiving she shamelessly called the police.
The police ask me if I wanted to pursue and I said no.
Officer then advised me to make a report for record purposes.
Don’t forget that I was with my lady friend too.. who kept her cool)
Attached are snapshots of the police report, for record purposes, on an embarrassing situation that took place in Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Bread Toast during breakfast.
Read and please be wise with your comments please add to what/ who is right of way and what could have been done to have avoided this embarrassing issue, in the first place.
could have been done to avoid this ugly scene
‘DOWN WITH TISSUE CHOP TABLE!!!’
Netizens’ comments
Welll…frankly speaking.. I think you are in the wrong? Firstly, Like why you do Need to comment on her whether she want to Chope the table?? Like I don’t get it?? Yes, in the post you stated that there are sick and elderly person but as you know the place you visited is ttsh so basically there will be crowded and I don’t think it is wrong of her to Chope the place? Secondly, Then you stated that she scolded you in vulgarity but you also scolded her back in vulgarity. So you also in wrong? If you keep your cool like your gf maybe you are on the winning side?? Thirdly, you can avoid all this drama if you keep silent and everything with what police report won’t be happening. To be honest all this things is just a small trivial things if you have keep your cool. Maybe you have run out of patience due to long queuing on the toastbox or whatever but always remember once you lose your cool, you lose
I don’t know if Sgt Lim from Tampines NPC should be laughing or fuming. I really must take my hats off to you Mr Singh for really making a mountain out of a molehill. If you really have so much time, please volunteer to do more charity for the unfortunate.
Previously, it is believed that the couples had escaped to Thailand.
On 10 August 2022, the SPF received information from the Royal Thai Police that the couple may be putting up at a hotel in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The SPF immediately sought the assistance of the Royal Malaysia Police to locate the couple.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the couple was caught checking in at BookMe Hotel, a budget hotel that cost RM69 which is around S$22 a night.
The couple were seen sitting on a bench outside the hotel while the Police who were in plain clothes confirmed their identification before making the arrest.
Photo of the hotel they were staying at
Pi Jiapeng (‘Pi’) and Pansuk Siriwipa (‘Pansuk’), aged 26 and 27
Pi and Pansuk were handed over to the SPF on 11 August 2022. They will be charged in court on 12 August 2022. Investigations into the matter are ongoing.
I am not from a rich family. I am also the sole breadwinner of the family. My husband is unemployed and not looking for a job.. he only know how to play games, watch tv and sleep… we have a daughter so a big part of my salary goes to her education and enrichments classes.
I turned 35 last week. During dinner, My long time friend told me that i need to start to love myself more. She said that i have been working too hard all these years and it is time to reward myself with a luxury item. This made me remember the Marc Jacobs tote i have been eyeing on for a long time. Sad to say, at the age of 35, i have yet to own anything that cost more than $200. The last thing i bought was a Sony digital camera when i was 17.
I love the bag. But i really cannot afford to spend $350 on it. I know many of you here will laugh at me… come on it is just Marc Jacobs. It is already considered a low end luxury brand… some of you can just pop by the boutiques to grab an Chanel, LV or Hermes without much consideration and hesitation. But not me…
I found some fakes on Taobao. They looked like the authentic ones, of course quality may not be as good…. I know many of you will judge me… but i felt that buying fakes at a fraction of the price makes me less guilty? I mean i like the design of the bag, not the brand of the bag… i guess it shouldn’t matter as long as i like it?
Yet i am still very worried about how others will look at me… sigh.
Is it a sad thing for a 35 year lady to have no branded items at all?
