A video emerged online showing a man getting into a dispute with a middle aged woman at an open area at Chinatown.
The woman was seen holding on to a stick and confronting the man, as another auntie in red tried to break the two of them apart.
The man then pushed the auntie in red away before snatching the stick away from the auntie in blue and kicking her in the process.
He then used the stick and swung it at the auntie, hitting her on the leg, before taking another swing and hitting her again, as the stick dropped onto the ground.

A video emerged online showing a girl harassing a guy at Clementi McDonald’s, by throwing small pieces of a receipt that she had torn into pieces onto the guy’s (who was minding his own business) head.
Here is what the netizen who filmed the incident said
This incident happened on 17 September 2022 2:50pm @Clementi Mall Mcdonalds and was witnessed by many diners, including myself.
In the video, one of the girls was tearing off receipt papers into small pieces and putting them on the boy’s hair, who is apparently a Japanese who can’t speak fluent English, while other girls were filming the whole scene using Tiktok.
After filming their actions down as evidence, I hurried to them and checked on the boy to see if he was okay, and that’s when I noticed that he couldn’t speak English fluently.
I briefly told him what the girls were doing to him and swiped the paper pieces off his hair as the girls were trying to get away.
I stopped them and condemned their actions, to which they eventually apologized but in an insincere manner, still laughing and giggling about.
I don’t know what’s up with the girls but their actions were totally unacceptable. I asked the boy if he knew who they were afterwards and he claimed that he doesn’t know them at all.
A video emerged online showing a Toyota Dyna lorry allegedly ignoring the height limit of a multi-storey carpark and forcing its way into the building.
The lorry then hit and damaged the pipes on the ceiling, before being stuck on the spot and being unable to move.
The driver was also seen gesturing towards the vehicle(s) behind, and the video also showed photos of the damaged pipes and signs.
The incident happened at a multi storey carpark at 109 Bidadari Park Drive, and the height limit of the carpark is 2.15 metres.
Netizens’ comments
Height barriers are put at the entrance for a reason. This one will incur a hefty fine from HDB and a big bill for repairs
the entry barriers are not always set correctly often lower than the signed height limit, particularly in HDB car parks. its better to know yr height and trust in the signage.
This guy should try going to Golden Mile Complex.
This lorry driver really underestimated the height of the multi storey carpark which he thinks that his rear cargo is less than 2.15m which resulted in damaging the pipes and signs above him.
Haidilao co-founder, billionaire Shi Yong Hong, bought the house of Lee Wei Ling, daughter of late former PM Lee Kuan Yew, for a whopping $50 million on 6 September.
The ownership of the good class bungalow (GCB) at Cluny Hill was transferred for the billionaire on 6 September.
Shi is the co-founder of Haidilao, and also the chairman of Yihai International Holding, a spin-off of Haidilao International, and also the director of 10 firms in Singapore surrounding the Haidilao brands.
The $50 million property, measures 18,255 square feet, was sold at about $2,740 per square feet, but given the market prices of the GCB properties at the Cluny Hill area, it could be sold for between $3,000 to $4,000 psf.
This essentially means that the price that Shi paid for the property is considered a relative bargain, and should he resell the property, he could see his investment increase by about 1.5 times.
And should he redevelop the property, he could bring the value of the property to about $60 million, at least; and he would make a profit with a sale of $3,300 psf.
The previous large GCB sale in the Cluny Hill area was in April last year, with a bungalow being bought for $63.7 million by Tommyu Ong, a local businessman.
The firefighter who was injured and sent to hospital while fighting a huge fire that broke out at 66 Woodlands Industrial Park, has since been discharged from the hospital and is now recuperating at home, according to a statement from the SCDF on Facebook.
SCDF’s updated statement
[Fire @ No. 66 Woodlands Industrial Park]
Thank you for the well wishes and support for the injured firefighter.
Each day, SCDF Emergency Responders, like him, brave countless challenges in the line of duty to protect and save lives and property.
The firefighter who injured his arm earlier today has been discharged from the hospital and is recuperating at home.
The fire involved waste materials in the warehouse and was extinguished by SCDF firefighters within 3 hours. Firefighters are currently damping down* the affected area within the warehouse.
A total of 10 emergency vehicles and about 70 firefighters were deployed for this firefighting operation.
About 25 workers had self-evacuated before SCDF’s arrival. As a safety precaution, the police and SCDF evacuated about 90 persons from the neighbouring premises.
In the course of the firefighting operation, a firefighter had injured his arm. He was immediately assessed by an SCDF paramedic and conveyed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
*Damping down refers to the application of water to wet burnt surfaces immediately after a fire is put out. It is to prevent any potential rekindle of fire from the hot burnt surfaces.
A netizen shared his dashcam footage of a middle aged man emerging from between two parked vehicles at a carpark and walking past his car.
The man then pulled the netizen’s car’s wipers and damaged it for seemingly no reason, before leaving the scene.
A police report was lodged by the owner of the damaged car and he was purportedly informed that he had to make a magistrate complaint before further action can be taken.
The incident happened on 15 September at about 10.51pm, at a multi-storey carpark at Sengkang East Way.
Netizens’ comments
This guy is a sick in the mind! Should go all out and go to magistrate if you have to. Though owning a license has nothing to do with this if camcar takes it to magistrate who knows the magistrate may take away his license just to ensure man with sick mind shouldn’t even hold a driving license to drive on the road! Again two different matters but who knows.
Should fine him and make him do many hours of community work – fixing windscreens and replacing wipers at workshops….haha
Did the police explain why do you need a magistrate to complain before the police could take action? A crime was committed and still need a magistrate complain?
My boyfriend is breaking up with me because I’m “too old”. We are the same age.
As per the title, yeah it sucks. I don’t know who else to talk to and I don’t know how to talk to him about it so if anyone could offer advice on how to respond eloquently that would be very appreciated.
To cut a long story short, we met just under a year ago and started a situationship not exclusive, he didn’t want ANY labels. I’d go on other dates and that but this guy really stuck.
After a few ups and downs and a break he came back to me and asked me to be his girlfriend. I was shocked but kinds excited and I’d hoped this would sorta spark a bit more interest from him.
We’ve been doing really good but when he’s drunk he will explicitly tell me he see’s no future in us but he’s “happy at the moment”, basically stringing me along. I’m constantly on my toes till he invites me over and acts all loving and sweet and I’m constantly wondering what “it” is that’s wrong with me..and why he can’t see a future with me. I’m not perfect but I can always grow and improve and learn. I have encouraged this man to pursue his dreams and go to uni, literally telling him I’m here to support him even if it means us breaking up with the long distance. I have literally been a cheerleader to him for his future and his life goals.
Last night he came over after drinking with his friends. We finally got round to having “the chat” and this is what he told me:
“We are the same age and you being the same age as me will cause difficulty in the future”. He went on to say how he wants to meet someone and have a happy family with three children, two years apart. If he goes to uni that’s another potential 5-6 years away. He literally went on a rage about how women are at peak fertility between ages 20-30 and after that they start having deformed and mentally ill children. Shouting at me “older pregnant women are VERY HIGH RISK of having a severely mentally disabled child” and horror stories and “facts”. I said to him “so you just want a younger 20 year old girlfriend then” and he said yes
My thoughts on this are firstly, people born with disabilities aren’t doomed to a horrible life and I will stand by that. Men are just as likely if not even more likely to have children with autism if they impregnate at a later age (thankyou google, don’t quote me) I am in the prime of my life, I have and steady income and a place to live. I have also raised my 11 year old so I know what I’m doing on a parental level.
Basically what I’m saying is I’m insulted and shocked. I never thought it would be this, considering I am very youthful and often get told I look 10 years younger than my age. It implies that I am a carrier of bad genes and will produce disabled children. It’s offensive and it feels like a scapegoat for the truth. I don’t know how to tell him that he really upset me and insulted me. How do I explain what he said (he doesn’t remember apparently but I think he knows) and argue my side of the story in a way that doesn’t make me look needy or desperate?
I’m not trying to win him back, I’m going to finally show him for the last time that I’m done being pushed around with mentally and I’m going to take care of myself only from now on.
Hi everyone, recently my rental lease agreement ended and there was some stains on the parquet floor due to our negligence. I am not how it got stained, i tried cleaning it but the protective film seems to peel off and the stains disappeared. However i stopped because the film might be protecting the wood, so we didn’t try to peel off all of it.
** Note that i rented a master bed room and the stained area is probably 1/5 of the room.
After handing over, the landlord raised this issue on the stain and went to find a contractor to fix it. From the quotation (close to 1K with full of spelling mistakes), I felt that it was unreasonable due to the few reasons:
renovation work done includes grinding of floor and varnish for entire master bedroom
we found another contractor that is close to half the quotation but the landlord is saying that their conductor sounds more professional
we are covering the cost for the entire masterbed due to work done that will result in 2 color tones. However we are also covering for damages that were caused by previous tenants (a circular heavy wear and tear with scratches) outside of the stained area.
In the tenant agreement signed by both parties, there is a clause stating that I am only liable for damage cost by us as stated below : “This deposit shall not be utilised as set-off for any rent due and payable during the currency of this Agreement. Such deposit shall be refundable at the end of the term less deduction for damages caused by the negligence of the Tenant and of any breach of this Agreement.”
Cost will be deducted based on quotation rather than receipt
Will need everyone’s advice on this as we felt unfair to be paying for the entire room instead of just the area we damage. So the question is, is it fair? The landlord has been dodging my question on splitting the cost.
PS, please pardon me if there are any spelling mistakes or incorherent English as it is 430am and I am stressing over this.
Is there anyone here who was born to financially irresponsible parents? How did you deal with the sadness/anger of not being able to do anything about it?
The title. I despise my dad. His irresponsible financial behavior throughout my childhood has led our family to poverty and enormous debt.
Not taking up jobs, not trying to do any work or business, just sitting and taking loans to survive. MY father worked in a job only 10 years in his entire married life.
Yes you read it right. Only 10 years. He couldn’t support my education neither my mother’s Healthcare. And now he and mom are my responsibility as I am their single child.
I just want to know if there is anyone here like me. I despise my dad because he didn’t do anything to get me educated to stand on my feet.
He just left his household on me, to run it. I am earning and supporting my house since I was 17 y.o. Till now. Because of this I despise my dad.
He is the reason i couldn’t study to get a higher paying job. I was a very good student. But had to start earning other wise we wouldn’t have survived.
How do you deal with this anger/sadness? Am I wrong to feel like this? This regret is just killing me inside. There is nothing I can do to change the course of my life. Only if I could rewrite my life against my luck.
My (23F) boyfriend (25M) is jealous of my dog (11M).
I wish I was making this up, lmao. My boyfriend gets jealous of all the affection and cuddles that I show give to my dog. I’ve had my dog for 11 years, and boyfriend for 1 year.
So yesterday, I was playing with my dog. My boyfriend was telling me to come cuddle with him. I tell him just a few minutes.
Then he totally snaps and says “I’M TIRED OF ALWAYS COMING SECOND TO THAT DAMN DOG, IT’S EITHER ME OR HIM,” and he slams the door and walks out.
I’m totally taken aback by that reaction. When he came back an hour later, he looked embarassed and was quiet.
I’m not even sure how to have this discussion with him, he obviously has some issues that he needs to address, right?
Netizens’ comments
Imagine if you have a baby with this man?? Is he going to feel the same about you giving a child more attention than him?
This person reminds me of that other post where this dude got fed up with his gf always prioritizing her dog over him that he broke with her after giving her a last chance. Of course it might not be the same thing, but “always coming second.” obviously has some underlying meaning.
I would never get rid of a pet because a boyfriend was jealous, however if you are constantly ignoring him to play with your dog you are the one in the wrong. Let your boyfriend go so that he can find someone that loves him.
