The term ‘age gracefully’ does not seem to always apply to old folks in Asia. They are often seen doing things that irritate, disgust or annoy others.

An elderly couple was seen seating side by side and resting their feet on the opposite seats and completely ignoring the sign on their right.

Here are what netizens think:

• The old guy has a quarrelsome face. He will surely fight back if you say him.

• Parents never teach. When teachers teaching, they not paying attention.

• Migrated from China outskirts villages, worst than peasants!!! First time in City riding motorised vehicle. MOUNTAIN TORTISE!!!

• At home already like that same same put up leg with shoes on their own chairs n table no take out shoes. Outside home also same same la. Cannot sympathy them because they no have seniors or teachers la. I think their childrens see this FB post also same same follows.

• Maybe uncle and auntie have bad upbringing during their times. Wat would be the greater thing to do is to pretend to sit there and say excuse me. Take out some tissue, wipe the seat where they placed their legs, then point to the sign ‘no feet on seat’ and proceed to walk away. Instead of just taking photos and posting, if every one of us practise this, who knows there might be no more aunty n uncle doing this. Spread some love

Enjoy going to sleep to get more Pokemon

It seems like a good way to get children to sleep but for an adult who is juggling their daily lives and work it might not be fun.

If only they bring back the old school pokemon battle game.

A netizen said: “Let us record your sleep and associated health data in exchange for getting cute cutscenes! That’s essentially what this is.”

“Will this be the thing that actually helps me to finally get good sleep in life?! Probably not, but I’m gonna love Pokemon Sleep all the same!!”

“How does it record your sleep? Is it like a fit bit? I have a sleep disorder, I can find it very difficult to go to sleep and I wake up a lot.”

According to TikTok user mictsency, she witnessed a garbage bag that was moving and shaking in the garbage bag.

Netizens who saw the video thought that it was a cat, but the Tiktok user opened up the bag and found a rat inside.

Rat tied up

The incident took place at Serangoon Block 263. It is unclear if it’s a mistake or it was done deliberately.

Animal cruelty

Animal cruelty in Singapore is a serious crime, and offenders can expect to receive a jail sentence and a hefty fine. The Animal and Birds Act in Singapore sets out the laws prohibiting animal cruelty and outlines the penalties for those found guilty of such acts.

The Act states that it is an offence to cause unnecessary suffering to any animal or bird. This includes intentional infliction of injury, torture, mutilation, or killing of any animal. The Act also states that it is an offence to abandon any animal, or to keep any animal in an environment that is detrimental to its health and wellbeing.

The penalties for animal cruelty in Singapore are severe. Offenders can face a jail sentence of up to 18 months, a fine of up to $10,000, or both. In addition to this, animal abusers can also be made to pay for the medical treatment of the animal and the animal can be seized and rehomed.

The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) is the government body responsible for enforcing the Animal and Birds Act. They investigate cases of animal cruelty and take action against offenders. The AVA has also set up a hotline for members of the public to report any instances of animal cruelty they witness.

The AVA works with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to help protect animals from abuse. The SPCA regularly inspects animal shelters and pet shops to ensure that the animals are being cared for properly and that their welfare is not being compromised.

Animal cruelty is a serious offence in Singapore and offenders can expect to receive a long jail sentence and a hefty fine. The AVA and SPCA work together to ensure that all animals are treated with respect and that those who commit acts of animal cruelty are held accountable for their actions.

Last year, I sold my flat. While looking for a new place, I paid for a year’s storage at Lock + Store Ang Mo Kio and stored most of my possessions in their facility.

After a year, I retrieved my items and I was in for a shock as ALOT of my items were badly damaged due to a water leakage in the storage unit. For the $4k I paid for storage, i got in return damaged items of about $16k in value.

My terrible ordeal in detail below:

I paid for the rental of a storage unit at Lock+Store | Self Storage | Storage Solutions Ang Mo Kio from January 2022 to 31 December 2022. This cost $4075.82.

On 30 December 2022, I arranged for movers to retrieve my items out of the store to my new home.

I had filled up the storage unit with my possessions from my old home and boxes were stacked up to the ceiling against the rear wall. Only when my movers moved the boxes away did we realise the entire rear wall was damp. I didn’t expect that all my items in the boxes would be irreparably damaged.

There were obvious signs of water seepage on the wall and condensation on my items.

The boxes were so wet that they tore as the movers tried to load them into the lorry. The movers asked me to go to the loading bay to see for myself. I broke down when I saw the damaged contents. I was extremely distressed and cried upon this horrible sight.

All my leather products (bags, wallets, belts, accessories), which includes luxury items that I placed in the store were terribly damaged by mould. Even the dust bags holding the leather bags had disintegrated and tore.

Items of sentimental value were also damaged. All these items are extremely close to my heart and can neither be replaced nor bought again. I am still very heartbroken. Having to relive this feeling of loss and anguish by writing this is bringing tears to my eyes now.

My movers went ahead with the rest of the boxes to my new home. There, they found that another box was damaged (also with damaged contents) after unloading it. They had to make an extra trip back to AMK to bring it back to me.

To make matters worse, I had to do a lot of extra cleaning while I was unpacking at my new home. The smell of the dampness and mould have permeated through all my items. All my fabric items like floor mats, bedsheets, all my clothes felt slightly damp upon unpacking. There was also mould found on my clothing. I had to make trips to the auto laundromat for washing and drying. In the end I lugged everything to the industrial laundromat where I spent another sum washing 32kg worth of clothing.

I also found a lot more items that were damaged by mould that I could not report when I was at the store. This shows how damp the store room was and how badly it affected my items. Total estimated value of items damaged amounts up to about $16k.

This ordeal has been extremely exhausting and horrifying, both mentally and physically. I also had to pay for a lot of unnecessary expenses that arose from the water leakage at the store. Moving house is already a very tiring process. Having water leaking and destroying my items added to the stress exponentially.

As a leading storage company in Singapore, the storage units of lock + store should be in good condition to provide a safe environment to store their customer’s items. I am devastated that this is not the case for my belongings. Attached pictures speak for themselves.

I demanded compensation for the damage and loss of my items. However, I have not received a positive reply from lock + store that I’ll be compensated.

I was told I’ll get back a lot less than what I am claiming. The latest reply I had from them was about 2 weeks ago. $2000 goodwill offer and $500 to restore some of my items. This offer is an insult to what i have lost and what I have gone through.

The reason for the offer above is because the contract that I signed upon renting the storage facility is iron clad, protects the company from all liabilities.

This puts me at a disadvantage but I really hope justice can be done in this case. I’m going to file a small claim with SCT. Anyone with advice or can help, please let me know.

Please also share this post so that others who store their belongings in such storage facilities can be aware of such an unfortunate incident. There was a recent news report saying that alot of home owners store their possessions in storage facilities due to prolonged renovations. I don’t know how many will be as unfortunate as me. But do a check on your items if you have stored them in a facility for a long time.

UPDATE: L+S has just responded on their FB page. They are not assuming any responsibility for this unfortunate incident. They are not acknowledging the water leak nor saying where the leak is coming from. The damaged items in my list also includes household items like stainless steel table and clothes. Not only luxury items. Basically telling consumers to store items at your own risk even if there is something wrong in their storage units.

A BMW was spotted parking out of the lot by a huge extent and a driver left a note behind scrolding the BMW and telling the driver not to drive.

What many do not know is that by parking this way you can get fined.

The note wrote:

“Idiot!!! Park you …king car properly! Don’t know how to park then don’t drive!!! idiot.“

The red BMW appears to be a small car that is relatively easy to park but at least 1/3 of the vehicle was not in the lot and blocked the vehicle’s door.

According to URA, the BMW driver is liable for a fine.

• The range of composition amount shows what is initially offered for common offences. The actual composition amount for the relevant offence will be specified in the Notice of Parking Offence. 
• If there is delay in payment of the initial composition amount, the composition amount (if any) that is subsequently offered may be higher than the maximum amount shown above. Court action may also be initiated if there is no payment after sometime.
• Offenders may be charged in Court without any offer of composition for serious offences. For example, tampered coupon offences.

Here are what netizens think:

• Let the air out of all the tyres. No tools required.
• He signed off as idiot lol
• Then again the black car beside the bmw is parking weirdly because of him. When he leaves, the black car becomes the idiots. Maybe he was also a victim
• Holy siht lol I know like 3 ppl who could’ve been the culprit and another 3 who could’ve written the note
• Why did they sign the letter as “idiot”?
