Here is what the netizen said

parked my car at Tekka Market carpark . When i came back i realised the driver side front bumper was badly scratched.

I realised it must have been a car next to mine. When i viewed my dashcam i found out that the car parked next to mine had hit my car when leaving the lot. But choose to ignore and drove off.

CHICKEN FACTORY INCREASED PRODUCTION BEFORE THE CHICKEN BAN

A Tik Tok video uploaded by user kee_song states that there are increasing production of Chickens before the Chicken ban.

The factory said that they are processing as much chicken as they can before the ban kicks in.

Previously, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said that the chickens imported from Malaysia accounts for 34% of the chickens that are imported to Singapore.

Singaporean flocking to supermarkets has become an internet meme, there is a lot of frozen chicken in Singapore. So please don’t worry.

Here are what netizens think:

  • The news of Malaysia banning the export of Chicken brings a key point that Singapore should have its own multi-storey farm. In China, there is a Chicken farm located on the side of a cliff, it’s a mega-complex that uses very limited land. Singapore should follow suit.
  • i’m going vegetarian alr after seeing this
  • Now Im worried for the SG community chickens.
  • 3.6 million chickens/month is a very big gap to cover man
@kee_song Fret not, we're working extra hard to provide the best while we can. @engelkoh #keesong #chicken #tiktoksg #fyp #foryou ♬ Treasure (Sped Up Version) – Phoebe

MAN PLAYS PRANKS ON WIFE UNTIL SHE FED UP, SHOUT AT HIM IN PUBLIC

So my husband Caleb (31) is a prankster. He jokes about everything and pulls pranks of all types all the time. I hate them all and I made it clear to him that I will not tolerate any prank or joke no matter what his justification is. He’s always like “chill, it’s just a joke” or “that’s hella funny you should be laughing instead of yelling” and stuff like that.

Yesterday, We were going out to grab some stuff. He said he “was in the mood” to joke around today (then) and when I attempted to get in the car he began driving back and forth while laughing. I told him I’d go back inside if he did it again and he stopped.

We arrived to the location and he kept locking the door and then unlocking it preventing me to get out. I told him to stop it and he said “okay I’m sorry”. We got into the store and he kept returning the items I put inside the cart til I caught him in act and told him to stop. He stopped

After we got done we stood behind a long line to pay. I stand and he stands beside me laughing and mumbling stuff. I then suddenly feel something on my head. I reach out and find that he stuck a candy that he was eating on it which freaked me out I started screaming at him while everyone else watched.

He looked red in the face as I berated him for what he’s done and kept trying to get me to quiet down, repeatedly saying people were watching us. there was an officer nearby and he noticed the commotion and asked if there was something wrong. Caleb looked stunned but I told him he wanted to make a scene he just got one. Then I left him with the stuff and walked out.

Upon his return he started arguing with me saying I shouldn’t have screamed like a lunatic and drafting public’s attention and making a scene over a prank. He said this was not acceptable to him and it shouldn’t be to me as well since we have a reputation and what I did at the store made us both look bad. I shut the door and remained in the room til he went outside.

he still thinks I overreacted and embarrassed both of us by screaming.

UK MAN PRAISES S’POREANS AFTER LOST WALLET RETURNED WITH $500 INSIDE

A Caucasian man shared how he had lost his wallet in Singapore with about $500 inside, and received a letter from the Singapore police that his wallet was found.

Speaking to the camera for his TikTok video, he said he wanted to see if Singaproe lives up to its name and has his wallet with $500 of cash inside, if Singapore has honest people.

He then said that he needs that money back because him and his wife were expecting a baby in September.

In the next shot of the video, he was seen in the car explaining how he had just been to the police station and gone through the items that was handed in,

He then took out the money inside his wallet that was returned and counted it, and all the money was still inside.

He said it was unbelievable and that whoever handed it in, he thanked him/her and wished good karma on the kind samaritan and his/her family.

He said he wished he had the person’s name or number so that he could give some form of compensation for their honesty.

he added: “But this is Singapore all over, the honesty of the people all being on the same wavelength, they’re not being that criminal sort of mindset where they take the money and throw the wallet.

Whether it’s the security guards, taxi drivers, waiters, waitresses, just somebody walking in the street, I don’t know who you are.

But thank you so much because I need that money back, it’s a big blessing there for myself, and hopefully, others can be in that same mindset of helping one another.

So thank you very much and God bless you and your family whether you’re Indian, Bangladesh, Singaporean or from the UK, really thank you. if only I could take you for a beer or coffee.

it’s a lucky day for me and lessons learned.”
