Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will be taking leave from 7 June to 11 June, and because he will remain contactable during the period, no acting Prime Minister will be appointed.

Because Heng Swee Keat stepped aside as the Deputy Prime Minister in April (Heng would’ve been the acting PM), PM Lee therefore reverted to the previous arrangement where Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean will become the acting PM during PM Lee’s absence.

PM Lee previously said (on 8 April when responding on queries about acting PM) that SM Teo’s appointment is “the interim arrangement until such time as the 4G chooses a new leader from among themselves.”

Facebook user Dave Park Ash recently posted on Facebook to voice his shock and displeasure after a stranger confronted him and his girlfriend before humiliating the couple by saying the they should only date with people from their own race. He then called himself a racist before shaming the couple further.

Here is the full story.

My name is Dave Parkash. I am a Singaporean. Today i feel embarrassed, humiliated and hurt by how i was treated by another fellow Singaporean. My girlfriend and I was confronted by a man who told us that we should only be dating with people of our own race.

He called himself a racist and even blamed us for being racist just because my gf and I are from different races. He humilated us in public by shaming both her and I like as though we did something wrong. I come from a mixed race background and so is my gf. We both are mixed race but we are proud to be Singapoeans. I feel we shouldn’t be publicly shamed just because of our skin colour. Love is love. Love has no race love has no religion. You and I should be able to love whoever we wanna love.

Lets not become like this man in the video. To this man who may end up watching this, I hope you learn to stop being a racist and let us all live in harmony. Last but not least life’s too short, LET US SPREAD LOVE AND NOT HATE AND MAY THIS MESSAGE EDUCATE.

A photo emerged online showing a guy inside an MRT.

All the MRT seats were presumably taken, however that doesn’t seem to faze the guy.

He took out his own chair and sat on it, leaning against the wall and using his face mask to block out the light before snoozing.

Step aside Tony Stark, there’s a new genius in town.

A girl shared how she was allegedly sexually harassed near Hillion Mall while she was waiting for a friend at the staircase.

A guy came up to her all of a sudden and complimented her, asking for her name and wanting to exchange numbers.

The guy introduced himself as “Justin, 22” and he asked her if they could play a “game” for a while since she was waiting for her friend.

She obliged.

So the two then played rock, paper, scissors; and whoever loses has to face the consequences.

The girl then lost to him twice and the guy told her: “ok I need to kiss you.”

The girl was taken aback.

The guy then added: “unless you want to go somewhere nearby and do it.”

The guy then put his leg on the stairs and leaned in towards her, trying to kiss her.

The girl backed away and quickly called her friends, the guy saw her on the phone and hurriedly walked away.

The girl described “Justin, 22” as having blonde hair, wearing a grey shirt and wearing specs.

A 48-year-old local man was arrested after attacking four people with a knife in a flat 2 Jalan Bukit Merah Road.

Police issued a statement saying that they had been informed at 6.06 am this morning (6 June) of an assault case at 2 Jalan Bukit Merah Road.

A knife, a chopper and 2 pen knives; along with substances suspected to be drugs, were seized at the scene.

The police are investigating the incident.

A video was recently uploaded on the Instagram page singapura.viral which shows stacks of Singapore money displayed on a table.

There were stacks of $50 and $100 notes and the video was most probably taken at a KTV nightclub. KTV hostesses were also seen at the scene.

The notes are believed to be counterfeit as all their serial numbers were identical.

The Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Singapore has announced that Singapore is in need of 200 vaccinators and that they have approved a job order for close to almost 230 vaccinators.

It is believed that the salary of these vaccinators would range from SGD$1800 to SGD$2300.

The office has said that Filipinos who wants to apply for the job will have to wait due to Singapore restricting the entry of foreign workers due to the coronavirus. A representative from the labor office did say that he was optimistic that Singapore will be issuing a new policy next month as the government closely monitors the local and global situation which would enable Philippinos to get the jobs as vaccinators.
