A McDonald’s outlet at Pasir Ris Elias Community Club and another in Bedok Reservoir was closed after one delivery worker from each outlet tested positive for Covid-19. Both workers are from the same family.
Deep cleansing in Pasir Ris Community Club has been done where a vaccination site is at. Both outlets will remain closed until all swab test results are negative
Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean said on a Facebook post: “We… conducted thorough and deep cleaning of Elias CC and applied self-disinfecting coating on surfaces in all common areas within the CC… and will step up daily cleaning of Elias CC to ensure your safety and well-being.”
On Wednesday (May 19), twin brothers who conspired with a woman to steal over SGD 57,000 from her family were sentenced to prison.
Oh Jia Kai 25-years-old, who is the boyfriend of the woman Tiffany Tan Hwee Shuan was sentenced to 15 weeks in jail. His twin brother, Oh Jia Cheng was sentenced to 9 weeks in jail.
A probation suitability report was called for Tan, as she asked the twin brothers to assist in her plan to steal valuables from her family. All 3 of them pleaded guilty to theft last month.
The incident happened on the night of July 11, when Tan’s brother and father were not at home. She started the plan by asking her mother out for supper while the twin brothers stand by near the flat.
When her mother got into the car, she lied to her mother that she forgot her handphone and went back home to ‘retrieve it’.
She took a Rolex watch worth SGD 11,500, 2 gold rings and cash from her brother’s safe. She also took SGD 34,000 from her father’s bag and a Louis Vuitton pouch.
In order to make it look like a break-in, she also stole all of her brother’s piggy bank. Jia Cheng then assisted to pack the stolen items into a car.
A few hours later, Tan’s father and brother realized that their valuables were missing and filed a police report. Tan then lied that 3,000 dollars were stolen to avoid being suspicious.
The 3 of them were caught red-handed when the police showed footage in which Jia Cheng can be seen with 2 bulky bags walking out of the lift.
On Tuesday morning (May 18), a road rage incident occurred at a car park near Block 766 Yishun Avenue 3 involving 2 men and 2 women who are currently being investigated by the police.
A netizen shared online about a woman and a man wearing blue allegedly parking illegally across two parking lots. When the netizen and her husband attempted to park their car next to them, they got agitated and angry.
“After we parked, they blocked our car. The woman pointed her middle finger and made funny faces at us. She also opened her car door and banged on our car bonnet many times.” she claimed.
“The driver came out of the car and challenged my husband.” she added
A 9-months-pregnant woman took to social media to share how a PMA rider collided into her, causing her to suffer a fractured leg and got hospitalised.
She shared that the PMA rider only compensated her $50.
She added that she was hospitalised for 5 days as well, and now she is on a wheelchair and needs to use crutches.
The incident purportedly happened at an ATM machine at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4.

Less than 24 hours after a mutual ceasefire was announced between Hamas and Israel, it was alleged that Israeli forces broke the truce and stormed the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
They allegedly fired rubber bullets, stun grenades and tear gas at Palestinians at the mosque after their Friday prayers.
Worshippers could be seen running away from the projectiles as armed soldiers stormed the grounds.

A netizen took to Instagram to share an incident with a group of YPs then he encountered at Woodlands Waterfront.
He wrote that he was at the Waterfront chilling with his friend when 3 YPs, who were doing some bicycle tricks, knocked into him.
The YP then expected him to say sorry, but the OP decided to let it slide.
The YPs then called them blind and challenged them to a fight.
You can read his full post below:
“Me and my friend went to waterfront to chill there for awhile 3 young punks thought that they own waterfront and did some tricks.
Then one of them knocked into me and expected me to say sorry.
But we decided to just let it slide the 3 young punks called us blind and ordered us to fight them… _ SO THEY THINK THEY WHAT SIA? WHAT GIVES THEM THE RIGHT TO BE ENTITLED? Plus they don’t even bother to bring a mask, still want to pick a fight but in really (pls someone tell those YPs, they look like wannabe gangsters and it makes everyone cringe)
Even better, they challenge us to fight them, but dare not to get close to us when there are more people.
If they have issues, I can understand.
But they just purely think the whole world owes them a favor and we are to say sorry to them or they will start a fight.
Anyway, the picture here, is them trying to chase after us, thinking we will apologise for something they did.”
