The Singapore Police Force (SPF) recently posted a reel on their official Tiktok page featuring three of their female officers.
The reel was uploaded seemingly with the intention of showcasing their female officers at work in conjunction with celebrating International Women’s Day.
Netizens who saw the video took to the comments section to comment on the reel. Most comments were written with the context of simping over the SPF offficers.
Many of the comments trolled that they committed ‘crimes’ like cheating on their spelling tests and were asking for these officers to arrest them.
Here are some of the comments

I had been working hard and slogging my guts out, but I still wasn’t quite able to make enough to support my family. I was really in a bind and I needed to find a way to make some extra money.
That’s when I thought of doing food delivery to supplement my income. I had seen other people doing it and it seemed like a great way to make some extra cash. I decided to give it a try, so I signed up for all the food delivery services.
Managed to earn a little to cover my bills
The first few weeks went really well. I aimed to make an extra $30-$50 a day to cover expenses and I was able to make enough money to cover my bills and I even managed to put a little aside for savings. But then one night, things went wrong.
I was riding my bike on the footpath and I was in a hurry to get to my next delivery. I wasn’t paying attention and I didn’t see my surroundings. Before I knew it, an enforcement officer had stopped me and given me a fine.
The fine cost me almost a week or two of my hard work
My earnings were all gone in an instant. I was devastated. I had worked so hard and all my money was gone just like that. I was so angry and frustrated. I had put in so much effort and all of it was for nothing.
I felt like I had been cheated. I had worked so hard and followed all the rules and because of a moment of folly, I committed a mistake which cost me whatever I had earned.
I was so discouraged that I considered quitting my food delivery job. I just didn’t have the heart to keep going, knowing that one mistake could cost me all my hard-earned money.
I was really disappointed in myself. I had worked so hard and I had been so close to making a success of my side job. I had thought I had found a great way to supplement my income, but it all came to nothing.
It was a hard lesson to learn, but I learned it well. I still do occasional food delivery jobs, but I’m much more careful now.
I make sure to always follow the rules and I don’t take any chances.

This comes in the wake of another accident last week, when a delivery rider was killed following an accident with two other vehicles at Hougang.
He was on his way to collect a customer’s package when the crash happened, and ultimately succumbed to his injuries and dying after slipping into a coma at the hospital.

A post was recently seen on Facebook accusing a Mala eatery based in Tampines for trying to evade tax.
Shop accused is a Mala shop at Tampines
The shop that was accused is none other than Kiev’s Cuisine at Block 610, Tampines North Drive 1, Tampines Greenweave #01-02 Singapore 520610.
The netizen who accused the shop of evading tax claims that the amount stated on the receipt which the netizen received is always much lower than the amount paid by the netizen for the netizen’s order.
A closer look at the receipt shows that the items that were included inside the receipt are:
1 X Regular Spicy Mala Base = $0
1 X Takeaway = $0.30
Which brings the total amount payable to $0.30.
It is unknown if the allegations by the netizen that the shop is evading tax is true of false.
Here is the post by the netizen
“This shop at Tampines selling Mala Xiang Guo always give me a receipt with incorrect amount.
Very suspicious that they are evading tax!
Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore – IRAS”
Here are what netizens think
If they can charge for tax, the receipt should indicate GST number. Unless you personally know of the information that they have to pay tax but elak.
Money goes into his pocket and not company.
Wash money
Laws on Tax evasion
If found guilty of tax evasion, the penalties are 300% of the amount of the undercharged tax and/or the amount of tax benefit gained and also a fine of up to $10,000 and/or imprisonment of up to three years

I was standing in the bank queue, waiting to withdraw some money, when I heard loud laughter coming from a group of men.
I looked to see what was going on and that’s when I saw him. It was my schoolmate, who I had not seen in years. I was surprised to see him, but what shocked me more was the fact that he was driving a taxi.
I laughed at him because he was a taxi driver
I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of him. He had been one of the most popular students in our school and here he was, driving a taxi for a living.
I thought it was hilarious. I mean, he had been so ambitious and driven, always talking about how he was going to make it big one day. But here he was, driving a taxi.
My laughter soon turned to embarrassment when I realized that he had noticed me. We had a brief conversation and although he was polite, I could see the hurt in his eyes.
Obviously, he had seen me laughing at him. I immediately regretted it and wished I had kept my laughter to myself.
I got retrenched and ended up also driving a taxi
When I got to work the next day, I was surprised to find out that I was on the retrenchment list. My boss had had decided to let some of us go because the company was not doing well and I was one of them.
I tried to apply for jobs but could not get one and was at my wits end.
I had no choice but to start driving a taxi. I was embarrassed to tell anyone that I was now doing the same thing my schoolmate had been doing. I felt like I had let myself down.
But then something unexpected happened. I actually started to enjoy driving a taxi. I found out that it was a great way to meet people and hear their stories. I also realized that I was able to make a decent living out of it.
It’s been a few years now since I started driving a taxi and I’m still doing it.
I still think about that day at the bank and I often think about my schoolmate. I hope that he’s doing well and I hope that he’s able to make his dreams come true.
I guess I can thank him for showing me that there’s nothing wrong with driving a taxi and that it can be a rewarding and fulfilling job.
Pls share if appropriate to help raise awareness on the importance of finding the right vet for your precious fur-kiddos
On 3 March 2023 8.30pm, I left *vet name redacted* @Loyang Point with disgust and scorn. Despite they have had a previous bad track record of nurses misbehaving at their vet clinic playing with the castrated animal testicles that was captured on the news. My Dad & I decided to give the vet clinic a chance to treat my Hachi. With screenshot call proof, I tried calling *vet name redacted* clinic since 6.24pm to 7.25pm many times, I had hang onto the line for so long but No One Pick Up the call at all!
Hachi suffered an inflammation at his private area and he had vomited a few times yesterday. After numerous unsuccessful calls to *vet name redacted* Clinic ,we decided to head down to the clinic which is just a 15 min drive.
We arrive at 8pm, the clinic close at 9pm. It’s not pack neither did anyone told me the clinic is full. There are 3 staffs at the counter.
The nurse told me I must pay an additional walk-in fee $72.11 despite I had explained to her that no one pick up my numerous calls for 1 hour when I try to make an appointment.This is a vet clinic dealing with animal lives, how can they be so “uncontactable”?
Animals can’t talk, they can’t tell you where they are unwell, the vets are their voices. Don’t you think it’s strange that the vet clinic is so “Uncontactable” for so long ? Especially they house sick pets at their clinic too.
That’s so frustrating and wrong!
She referred me to see the Director ( Boss of *vet name redacted*) Doctor *doctor’s name redacted* in his room. He does not look friendly nor he seemed welcoming to me. He never once bother to ask me what happened to Hachi nor he has the care to take a look at Hachi for once. He only made it clear to me if I don’t pay the +++ extra walk-in fee $72.11, he will not see or treat Hachi at all.
I’ve always been more than willing to pay for Hachi’s vet fee but I am skeptical about this whole incident.
I asked *doctor’s name redacted* “How do I even made an appointment at *vet name redacted* Clinic when no one even bother pick up my numerous calls? “ He just shrugged & smirked & didn’t reply to me.
Despite I show him the call-proof from my Handphone, he told me 6-7pm they are all having dinner. But when I rebuked him that I even called *vet name redacted* from 7pm -7.25pm, no one picked up my calls at all.
Instead of been empathetic & apologetic, that *doctor’s name redacted* sarcastically mocked at me “If you are not happy with our service, you can go & see another vet clinic . I don’t think you’ll pay the add-on walk-in fee “
He immediately stood up & opened the clinic room door to chase both me , Dad & Hachi away . He would rather spent time insisting me to pay the add-on extra walk-in fee $$$ but never bother once to even take a look at my Hachi and check his condition to see if it’s an emergency case.
The fact that *doctor’s name redacted* prioritized on the extra fee payable to him rather than at least care about the condition of his animal patient made me doubt his professional ethnic code as a vet. Hachi has visited his clinic for his annual vaccination last year but was seen by a lady vet instead.
My last words to *doctor’s name redacted* is “ Unfortunately you have no professionalism as a vet and have no love nor compassion for animals at all. You are not fit to be a vet!”
In response, *doctor’s name redacted* replied me nonchalantly “Yes I’m not fit to be a vet!”
Pls be cautious when choosing the right vet for your furkiddo. Don’t feel obliged or fall prey into paying any additional pet service fee which cannot be justified without a valid reason. The phone calls I made to *vet name redacted* are never engaged. They rang but no one actually bother to pick up my calls at all !
The crux of the whole incident is the vet *doctor’s name redacted*‘s unprofessional handling & rude attitude especially when he is the Boss of the clinic. He never told me the clinic is full.He never mentioned he will be treating Hachi out of operating hours that’s justified the walk-in fee $$$. He just prioritizes I must pay the walk-in fee for Hachi to be treated now during the operating hours despite of my numerous attempt to make an appointment.
There are still 3 staffs around the counter when I just left the clinic. How busy is that no one pick up my calls ?
As a Singaporean guy living in Taiwan for the past 5 years, I can confidently say that there are quite a few similarities between Taiwanese and Singaporean girls when it comes to their preferences in men.
A lot of them go for ang moh
It seems like a lot of Taiwanese and Singaporean girls share a common preference for Caucasian men.
I’ve had the opportunity to observe both Taiwanese and Singaporean girls up close and personal. I’ve seen them interact with men of different ethnicities, and it’s become quite clear to me that they both have a soft spot for Caucasian men.
This is quite a common occurrence in the dating scene in both countries. It’s not hard to find Taiwanese or Singaporean girls flocking to Caucasian men at bars, clubs, and other social events.
The reason why Taiwanese and Singaporean girls like Caucasian men is quite simple. It’s because Caucasian men are seen as exotic.
Caucasian men are seen as attractive and mysterious, and that’s something that draws the attention of many Taiwanese and Singaporean girls.
Another reason why Taiwanese and Singaporean girls like Caucasian men is because they’re seen as more stable and reliable.
It’s not uncommon to see Taiwanese or Singaporean girls looking for a Caucasian man to settle down with.
It’s also worth noting that Taiwanese and Singaporean girls like Caucasian men because they’re seen as more successful.
This is because Caucasian men are usually seen as better educated and more likely to have good jobs. This is something that appeals to many Taiwanese and Singaporean girls.
Don’t worry asian men like Singaporean still got chance with Taiwan mei mei
Having said all that, it’s important to note that not all Taiwanese and Singaporean girls have the same preferences when it comes to men.
I noticed that Taiwanese girls who like Asians tend to prefer Singaporeans and I myself had the privilege of dating some Taiwanese girls.
Some may prefer Asian men, while others may prefer men of other ethnicities.
However, it’s undeniable that there is a trend of Taiwanese and Singaporean girls preferring Caucasian men.
HKP FOOD TECHNOLOGY PTE. LTD. FINED $8,500 FOR HYGIENE LAPSES
HKP Food Technology Pte. Ltd. was fined $8,500 by the Court today for hygiene lapses under the Sale of Food (Non-Retail Food Business) Regulations.
2 On 30 June 2021, Singapore Food Agency (SFA) officers inspected the food manufacturing establishment at Block 3015 Bedok North Street 5.
The officers detected widespread pest infestations (i.e. cockroaches and rodent droppings) and poor cleanliness of its food preparation and storage areas, which posed a high risk for food contamination to occur.
This is not the first time enforcement action was taken against HKP Food Technology Pte. Ltd for hygiene lapses.
3 In the interest of public health, SFA directed HKP Food Technology Pte. Ltd to rectify the lapses and take necessary measures to improve the food safety practices and the cleanliness of its premises.
4 Food safety is a joint responsibility as food can be contaminated anywhere along the food chain. While SFA continues to be vigilant and works to ensure that regulatory measures are in place and properly enforced, the industry and consumers must also play their part.
5 All food operators should ensure that their premises are clean and well-maintained, and staff are adequately trained on proper food safety management. SFA will take enforcement action against food operators who do not adhere to regulations or comply with food hygiene and food safety requirements.
Offenders are liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 and/or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months.
A video emerged online showing a man caught on CCTV attacking a car outside an HDB unit, kicking the cat into a box and tossing it out of the box at the staircase.
According to the netizen who posted the video, the incident happened on 1 March at about 3 am, at an unspecified HDB building in Singapore.
The man was seen holding onto a cardboard box as he walked suspiciously towards the lift lobby, checking his surroundings to see if anyone was around.
A cat could be heard in the video meowing loudly in the background.
He then walked out of the video frame towards the staircase, before returning to the lift area moments later, swinging the box towards the cat and violently kicking it into another box.
He then picked up the box that the cat was in, before leaving it behind as he went to the staircase to once again check if anyone was around.
The man then returned to pick up the box that the cat was in as the little feline continued wailing, and he carried the box down the stairs.
He then set the box down and “poured” the cat out of the box, before fleeing the scene.
The netizen who posted the video on YouTube said that they will be making a police report about the incident.
When my husband and I got our HDB flat in our late 40s, we were feeling so excited. We had been living in together with my family for so long, and we felt that we had finally achieved something and were finally getting our own place to call home.
Get already then suddenly regret
After getting the HDB flat, we had a little bit of regrets. We had already spent most of our working years and had not saved much for our retirement.
We thought that getting an HDB flat would be a smart move and would be a good investment, as we could rent it out to generate some income when we can no longer work.
However, now that we have our HDB flat, we are starting to regret it. We had not taken into consideration that we are already in our late 40s and might have to slog hard for another decade or so to pay for it.
We had not taken into consideration the cost of living and inflation and that we may not be able to afford to retire as planned.
We are now worried that we may have to work until we are too old to enjoy our retirement.
We should have saved more money for our retirement, and we should have considered other types of investments.
We now understand why it is important to plan for retirement early on in life, and we regret that we did not do so when we had the chance.
