A video emerged online sh owing 2 aunties and an uncle fighting at a hawker centre stall.
The auntie inside the stall was seen smashing plate after plate on the head of the auntie in pink.
Moments later, the uncle threw a chair at the auntie inside the stall.
The incident happened in March 2020 and all three were arrested; and according to the latest updates, a woman asked the judge for leniency during sentencing, saying that she was jobless and needed to care for her ex-husband and child.
Seamus Shi Liang, 26-years-old, was killed on 2 December 2020, when a part of a machine that he was repairing fell on his head.
State coroner Sharmila Sripathy delivered her findings on his death yesterday (16 June), ruling out foul play.
She said that the accident could have been prevented had Shi placed wooden blocked between two components of the machine before removing another of its parts.
His death was ruled a misadventure.
What happened?
Shi was a service engineer working for Arburg, a company that manufactures plastic injection moulding machines.
On the day of the incident, he went to Meiban Micro, another manufacturing firm, to repair a vertical plastic moulding machine, along with his colleague.
Part of his repair work involved removing a component of the machine which was secured by multiple bolts.
Shi placed his head between two other part of the machine as he unscrewed the bolts, and one of the parts dropped on him mere seconds after the bolts were removed.
His head was pinned down.
Shi’s colleague and workers from Meiban Micro tried to rescue him but it was to no avail.
He was pronounced dead at the scene after his body was extricated by SCDF officers.
They cited injuries to his head and neck as the cause of his death.
Coroner Sripathy noted that Shi and his colleague were not trained to repair the plastic moulding machines as the configuration of the one at Meiban Micro was different.
But they (Shi and a different co worker) had repaired another machine of the same model in March 2020.
Wooden blocks were placed between parts of the machine during the repairs on that occasion.
Singapore’s youngest bone marrow donor
Shi made the headlines more than 20 years ago for being Singapore’s youngest bone marrow donor as a 15-month-old infant.
he had donated his bone marrow to his elder sister who suffered from Leukaemia, back in 1995.
His father had hepatitis and his mother’s bone marrow was only a 50% match for his sister at the time.
Actress Carrie Wong shared a story relayed to her by an on-set makeup artist.
They were filming a scene for the drama You Can Be An Angel 3 at East Coast Park at night.
The woman was walking to the restroom, and she saw two very beautiful women who were all dolled and dressed up.
The women were wearing a very strong perfume.
She then spent about 5 minutes inside the toilet and when came out, the women were not there anymore.
She then made her way back towards the set, but this time she could smell the same fragrance following her.
Even during filming at the set, she could still smell the strong perfume and even after filming wrapped up and she was on her way back to Mediacorp, the same spell was still following her.
Entertainer Ebi Shankara recounted a story about an eerie incident that he experienced when he was 16.
His school conducted their sports day at a stadium located in the west of Singapore.
During one of the events, the girls’ 400m heats, a girl who was leading the race suddenly stopped running and started hopping instead.
She then collapsed in a fit after reaching the finish line.
People around started inexplicably crying, one after another, and they were then told to leave the stadium.
While at a coffeeshop next to a McDonald’s restaurant, Ebi and his friends saw a girl from their school run out of the fast-food restaurant and dash towards the main road.
Someone shouted at him: “GRAB HER, EBI!”
He then wrestled the girl, who was 2 heads shorter than him, to the ground; but he could feel that she was somehow very strong.
The girl then started speaking to him in Malay, in a very different voice:
“If you don’t let me go, I’m going to go after your family”
Ebi then told one of his friends who was beside him, to recite prayer verses together into the girl’s ears.
TV host Yasminne Cheng recounted a story that she experienced while on set at the old Mediacorp campus.
She was on the set of The 5 Show and behind the set was a green room that wasn’t very soundproof.
During filming, everyone was required to remain quiet at it was a live show.
As it goes, once when they were live, Cheng heard two girls inside the green room giggling and laughing.
Cheng exploded: “JUST SHUT UP! DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT WE ARE LIVE?”
After the segment cut to a commercial break, she asked about the girls inside the green room, “Who’s talking so loudly in the green room? Tell them to pipe down, we are filming a live show!”
One of the crew members then went into the green room to have a look and check, he then came back and said:
Taufik was driving his friends home after supper at about 2am, and the group were at the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Eng Neo Avenue, when one of his friends felt nauseous and wanted to alight.
So he turned into a smaller road heading towards Turf City, and his friend alighted, before going to the side of the road where there was a small drain that led to a bigger drain.
Taufik and his other friend remained in the car, chatting with each other.
However, Taufik soon noticed that his friend wasn’t puking, she was just sitting by the bigger drain.
He then became worried that she might fall in and went up to her, trying to get her to move back to the small drain.
But the girl then returned to the bigger drain and said:
“Poor thing! That girl in the drain, she’s puking there all alone…”
Taufik looked to see what she was referring to but he saw nobody there, and his friend didn’t look nauseous at all.
He then recalled his grandmother and aunties once telling him about how things get really quiet and still and where is a ghost nearby.
He looked back at his friend and this time, he saw that she was lying on the ground.
He then carried her back into the car.
The girl sat inside the car, looking down with her long hair hanging over her face as the rocked back and forth.
The group then started saying some prayers, which resulted in her squirming and either laughing or crying, he couldn’t tell.
When they drove away and finally reached her block, Taufik said some more prayers and somehow it did the trick, the “thing” was finally out of her.
The girl came back to her senses and appeared lost, asking him:
“Why didn’t you stop just now? I told you I wanted to pee!”
Taufik, by now scared out of his mind, told her “okay, have a good night.”
He said that he didn’t even want to walk her up to her door.
He then called her sister and told her what happened, to which her sister called him back later that night and told him that the girl kept wanting to return to the drain because the “girl” that she saw was all alone and asking for help.

During an Instagram livestream with fellow actors Christopher Lee, Chen Hanwei and Zhang Yaodong; actor Shaun Chen shared a spooky story with the group.
He shared that when he was filming The Journey: Tumultuous Times in Penang, he went back to his hotel room to rest for the night after a day of shooting.
The hotel that they were staying at wasn’t exactly new.
He was so tired that he fell asleep after filming.
In the middle of the night, he felt that there was someone touching him, but he couldn’t move at all.
He said that it felt like there was someone pushing him down.
He then mustered up all his strength and turned over, scolding the “ghost” immediately.
He said that he knew there must’ve been something “dirty” in the room disturbing him, so he started scolding the entity and it worked.
The ghost disappeared.
