Power 98 radio DJ Jerald Justin Ko shared how he paid $29 for a plate of mutton briyani, with 3 pieces of mutton, excluding the GST.
Ko was visiting the new food court at Gardens By The Bay, which is dinosaur themed, and bought his mutton briyani from a stall called Bismillah Biryani.
The stall is known for their healthier version of briyani, and also has a Michelin Bib Gourmand rating back in 2016.
In his video, Ko asked his viewers to “make a guess, briyani with 3 pieces of lamb, how much?” as he captioned it “got a chock”.

I had the same experience last month and I went straight to the counter and ask for their explanation. no reaction at all… worst experience and not
When my boyfriend and I started dating, I was head over heels for him.
I never felt so strongly for someone before and I was sure that he felt the same for me.
We had been together for about a year and a half when he started to hint that I should wear something different underneath my clothes instead of the usual.
I didn’t think much about it, assuming he was just trying to spice things up a bit by asking for a change in my lingerie choices so I continued wearing whatever I was wearing.
One day, he came out and said that he didn’t find me attractive anymore because I always wore granny-style lingerie.
I was shocked and hurt, and I couldn’t understand how he could think that way.
I had always been comfortable in my lingerie, and I thought that he did not have any comments as long as I was comfortable in what I was wearing.
To make matters worse, he also said that he thought my body was “unattractive” and that I should wear something “more revealing”.
I was devastated. I had never felt so rejected or ashamed of myself and my choice of lingerie.
I had always been comfortable with what I was wearing as from the age when I started growing, my mother and grandmother has been the one bringing me lingerie shopping.
Even when my bf offered me to bring me to buy better looking ones, I had always rejected it because of comfort.
This episode got me thinking if I should change for him though.
An intriguing incident took place in Hong Kong during the early hours of the New Year, with a man doing his best impression of Neymar on the road.
A video of the incident, which was captured on the dashcam of the affected car, has been making the rounds on social media.
The incident took place on 1 January at about 2am, according to the time stamp on the dashcam footage.
In the video, the man was seen diving straight into an oncoming car (the car was moving very slowly at the time and even stopping) after it made a left turn.
The man then jumped onto the hood and pretends to be injured, as he staggered off the vehicle and proceeded to fall onto the ground.
He then did his best impression of Neymar and rolled around on the ground in circles, blocking the traffic in the process.
He was subsequently escorted away from the road by two men wearing vests.
25-year-old Indian national Subramanian Muralimanogarjoshi, was charged on 2 January with criminal trespass and outrage of modesty with wrongful restraint.
He had allegedly gone into a female toilet and pushed a woman into a cubicle, locking the door as he molested her in the wee hours of New Year at Sentosa.
He had trespassed into the Siloso Beach women’s toilet at about 2.55am on 1 January, planning to commit the offence.
He allegedly pushed a woman into one of the toilet cubicles and locked the door behind him before proceeding to grope her chest.
The police were alerted to the incident about half an hour later, and he was identified and arrested within 2 hours of the report being lodged.
He was remanded on 2 January and his hearing has been adjourned to 30 January.
Called M1 hotline 1627 almost 1 hour,nobody attend the call,
want ask them simple billing matters,and thought coming down to their shop,easy lah,take queue no,they attend to us,simple as it is.
but what the hell they ask u to go 1 corner using the phone provided by them,to call their customer service,worst…waited again almost 30mins,nobody answer the called.
I wonder,who the hell is this people in their management? do they actually know what really happened on ground and their customer service?
So literally their staff are just to sell phones/plans and not customer service oriented when comes to billing matters?
So M1 really want their customer buy their products,gain profit first then,dont care on their customer having issue with billing matters which,literally not customer fault?
Singapore’s GDP Grew by 2.2 Per Cent in the Fourth Quarter of 2022 and by 3.8 Per Cent in 2022
Based on advance estimates, the Singapore economy grew by 2.2 per cent on a year-on-year basis in the fourth quarter of 2022, moderating from the 4.2 per cent growth in the previous quarter. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted basis, the economy expanded by 0.2 per cent, extending the 1.1 per cent expansion in the third quarter. For the whole of 2022, the economy grew by 3.8 per cent, slower than the 7.6 per cent growth in 2021.
Sectoral Performance The manufacturing sector contracted by 3.0 per cent year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2022, a reversal from the 1.4 per cent growth in the previous quarter. This came on the back of output contractions in the electronics, chemicals and biomedical manufacturing clusters, which outweighed output expansions in the precision engineering, transport engineering and general manufacturing clusters. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted basis, the manufacturing sector expanded by 1.8 per cent in the fourth quarter, a turnaround from the 3.9 per cent contraction in the preceding quarter.
The construction sector grew by 10.4 per cent year-on-year in the fourth quarter, accelerating from the 7.8 per cent growth in the previous quarter, as both public and private sector construction output continued to recover. However, in absolute terms, the value-added of the construction sector remained 19.3 per cent below its pre-pandemic (i.e., fourth quarter of 2019) level. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted basis, the sector expanded by 0.4 per cent in the fourth quarter, extending the 3.8 per cent expansion in the third quarter.
Among the services sectors, the wholesale & retail trade and transportation & storage sectors collectively grew by 2.3 per cent year-on-year in the fourth quarter, slower than the 5.7 per cent growth in the previous quarter. All sectors within the group recorded expansions during the quarter. Within the wholesale & retail trade sector, both wholesale trade and retail trade activities expanded. Meanwhile, growth in the transportation & storage sector was largely supported by the air transport segment, which saw robust growth on the back of a strong recovery in air passengers handled. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted basis, the sectors in the group shrank by 2.2 per cent in the fourth quarter, a reversal from the 3.7 per cent expansion in the preceding quarter.
The group of sectors comprising the information & communications, finance & insurance and professional services sectors grew by 2.9 per cent year-on-year in the fourth quarter, extending the 3.6 per cent growth in the previous quarter. All sectors within the group expanded during the quarter. Growth in the information & communications sector was supported by continued strong demand for IT and digital solutions, while that in the professional services sector was mainly driven by the architectural & engineering, technical testing & analysis segment. As for the finance & insurance sector, growth was primarily supported by activities auxiliary to financial services, which include payment processing activities. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted basis, the sectors in the group collectively posted growth of 1.8 per cent in the fourth quarter, faster than the 0.8 per cent growth recorded in the third quarter. The remaining group of services sectors (i.e., accommodation & food services, real estate, administrative & support services and other services sectors) grew by 8.2 per cent year-on-year in the fourth quarter, extending the 9.3 per cent growth in the previous quarter. All sectors within the group posted expansions during the quarter as activities continued to recover with the lifting of domestic and border restrictions since April 2022. For example, the accommodation sector expanded for the first time since the second quarter of 2021 on account of a strong recovery in international visitor arrivals. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted basis, the sectors in the group grew by 1.5 per cent in the fourth quarter, easing from the 1.9 per cent expansion in the previous quarter.
The preliminary GDP estimates for the fourth quarter and whole of 2022, including performance by sectors, sources of growth, inflation, employment and productivity, will be released in the Economic Survey of Singapore in February 2023.
Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Jeremy Renner, who portrays Hawkeye in the Avengers movie franchise, got into an accident while ploughing snow.
According to media reports in the US, he is currently in critical condition.
The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release on Monday that they were alerted to a traumatic injury along the Mount Rose Highway in Reno, Nevada.
Renner has lived in the area for years and was awarded the title of “special deputy sheriff” back in 2018.
Following the accident, Renner was sent to a local area hospital via air, the authorities have stopped short of sharing how the accident occurred or what his injuries are.
The Hollywood Reporter cited Renner’s representative and said that the actor had experienced a weather related accident while ploughing snow on New Year.
He is currently in a “critical but stable condition” and his family is by his side.
A group of YPs got drunk and filmed themselves allegedly entering Night Safari after its operating hours and going into the animal enclosures, posting the video onto TikTok to show off.
The video was posted online back in October and quickly went viral, gaining traction on social media, before the group deleted the video.
Mandai Wildlife Group told Channel NewsAsia on 3 January that they have lodged a police report about the incident.
They said that they have been following the incident since it was first published, and have reviewed the matter internally before the police report was lodged.
The 4 YPs were seen in the video buying alcohol before heading to Night Safari, as they captioned their video “we got drunk and went to an animal safari in Singapore.”
One of them was seen petting an animal in its enclosure while another tried to climb up one of the rocks at the safari.
MWG said that their first priority was the welfare of their animals after the video surfaced, and added that the animals are safe and well.
It is unclear which part of Malaysia the incident happened in but the man purportedly climbed to the top of the AmBank Tower, which is one of Malaysia’s largest banks.
He was seen climbing what appears to be a structure that was part of the tower’s lightning rod, as the lightning and thunder roared in the sky.
The thunder was seen crackling in the sky, startling the daredevil as he shouted “holy f-” before climbing up a ladder to the highest point of the tower.
He then aimed the camera downwards at his feet to show the insane height that he was on, before taking a photo.
Netizens’ comments
Isn’t the platform he climbed is a part of the lightning rod? Kinda crazy/dumb thing to do during the thunder storm.
Ok, I get it YOLO, but all these dumb ass people doing dangerous stuff like these if they end up needing to be rescued or a smear on the pavement it’s just going to end up being trouble for other people.
Dumb AF. if kena lightning how? who will clear the mess? who need to clean it up. oooo you damn dumb F….
why people always want to climb here climb there one…
Man really risked his life all for the sake of taking a terrible photo lol
I’m so tired of my life at the moment. It feels like cleaning never ends. I’m tired of waking up with a baby 2-5 times at night. I haven’t have time for myself for months. My husband complain that I have too much own time.
I’m tired that my husband doesn’t clean up after himself. He can’t even put his dirty clothes in the laundry.
I just got so angry and emptied his whole wardrobe on the floor and now I have to clean it up too before he comes home from work.
I just need to get this out of my system. My friends are tired for me complaining for stuff. I also have back problems at the moment.

Can relate. Sounds like you’re just exhausted and undervalued. Unfortunately so many see SAHM as a luxury because you’re “not working”. It’s a crock of 💩. If he doesn’t see that you need a well deserved break, I hope you have close friends or family who will step in and give that break for you. Even if it’s just to have a long bath and a drink without rushing! I have nearly 10yo twins, widowed parent now. But as babies, I needed interaction with other adults, ppl to hang with me or spend time with me. Coz ppl only see you as a mum and forget about you as an individual. Hang in there babe, not alone!
Sounds like you’re a mom of 2 instead of a wife and mom. I’m really sorry that you’re dealing with this. Maybe one weekend, take some time for yourself and leave the baby at home with your husband. Let him clean up and take care of the baby while you enjoy some much needed YOU time!
Quit cleaning up after him and quit being his maid. This man doesn’t give a damn about you. Give your back a rest. You can beak a leg and it will heal but a back will not. It could shut down your mobility and the ability to care for yourself. Focus on your exit plan, yourself, and your children.
Can you go stay with family for a while? Sounds like he had a baby just to trap you because he’s not interested in being involved in his child’s life. He’s not interested as seeing you as a team.
