A video emerged online showing a wedding ceremony being videographed by a videographer whom we assumed must’ve learned videography from Dailymotion.
The camera angle was so bad that it appeared as though the groom was marrying an old man wearing a dress.
However upon closer inspection, the old man was actually standing beside the bride and his face was slightly protruding from her facial outline, making it seem like his face was her face.
Camera angles bro, CAMERA ANGLES.

A netizen shared how he/she bought something from Shopee and the delivery woman allegedly lied that it was delivered and brought the parcel back with her.
She allegedly opened the parcel for herself before taping it back and having another man deliver the parcel to the customer.
Here is the story:
“Hello! I live in amk teck ghee area, and a few days back i bought smthing from shoppee.
And on 14/9, the parcel was delivered to me.
But, at ard 6pm plus there was a lady, who came to my hse to deliver a parcel, and after she took the picture of my unit, she said she was at the wrong address.
And then, after awhile, i checked my shoppee app, and they said parcel is delivered.
But it wasn’t, i checked everywhere, there was no parcel.
At around 10pm when i was messaging the agent frm shoppee, there was a man who came to give me the parcel, but he didn’t take photo.
Which was weird, because i thought the normal procedure for parcel delivery is to take pictures of the door and then give us the parcel.
But no he didn’t, he just gave me the parcel and walked away, without saying anything.
And after i took the parcel, i checked it, and i saw that my parcel was opened and taped back.
I was angry, because if i were to order something expensive, i probably wouldn’t get it back.
But the thing is not abt the thing inside, it is about morals.
People delivering parcels shouldn’t be opening them. It is very disappointing to be honest.
The first video is about the lady
And the second video is about the man who passed me my parcel.
The fact that the lady was bringing children along with her to do this kind of things. I really hope the children don’t follow her.
This was how the parcel looked like when i recieved it (swipe). I believe it is not how the seller had sent it, because i have bought the same thing from the seller before and it was not delivered to me like this the other times.
Pls help me spread awareness of this, it is really important for online shoppers”
New standards for migrant worker dormitories were announced on 17 September, following the major outbreak of cases last year.
The aim for the new standards are to reduce the risk of infectious diseases being transmitted, as well as to improve the conditions of living inside.
Last year’s outbreak saw the revelation of the living conditions in the cramped and unsanitary dorm rooms, where thousands and thousands of migrant workers from India, Bangladesh and China live.
The new standards for the dormitories include the capping of the occupancy, installation of ensuite toilets, improved room ventilation, segmenting the communal facilities, more spacious rooms as well as Wi-Fi coverage inside the rooms.
These will apply to new facilities, although the authorities are evaluation ways to improve the existing dormitories conditions.
Two new dormitories are also being planned to be built, with at least 12.500 beds in total.
A netizen shared how she spotted a dog being locked up inside small cage at a temple in Jurong.
She shared how the dog was living in deplorable conditions, being inside a cage with less than a 3-tile space for it to walk about.
The dog was also allegedly fed with leftover human food filled with bones, and its cage was filled with dried up poop and a bowl of water filled with algae.
Here is the story:
“[ CRUELTY IN A TEMPLE ]
It was difficult to stare into her eyes and see loneliness, desperation and finally the disappointment when I had to walk away from this sweet dog earlier this afternoon.
This nameless dog was born without freedom because the cruel person who took her to this temple as a puppy simply threw her into a lifetime imprisonment, and for so many years, this temple kept their dogs in terrible conditions.
Besides having a feedback provider who witnessed first-hand how this dog has suffered in the cage since she was a puppy, I made a few visits recently and every single time, the cage was filled with dried-up poop, algae-filled water bowl and leftover human food filled with bones!
Her living condition is even more deploring. She only has 3 tile space to walk, sleep, eat and poop. And rats are often seen running around, putting this dog at risk of rodent poison. As if this was not mean enough, to my horror, I had to witness a fumigation session taking place and the poor dog was engulfed in the poisonous smoke! Apparently, this happens every single month when the temple is being fumigated.
Today, I couldn’t take it anymore. I decided to ask the temple to allow me to re-home this poor dog and they rejected me with a flat NO. It is completely beyond my comprehension why a temple would rather see her suffer in captivity than to accept help from others. Afterall, the dog means nothing to them, so why not let someone who cares take the dog?
This is terribly disturbing and heartbreaking, especially when it’s happening on a supposed religious ground. I am a Buddhist since birth, and growing up, my Buddhism teachings circled around kindness, compassion, gratitude and karma. But more than religion, aren’t these considered universal language? Why are these people so cruel to ignore the sufferings of the animals? Don’t they understand that animals are sentient beings too? They can sense fear, pain and loneliness, just like all of us.
If you can spare some time, drop by the temple and take a look at her deplorable living conditions and judge for yourselves. It is a heartbreaking scene I’ll never forget, and I go to bed every night feeling helpless that I alone can’t do anything to save her.
I requested for the chairman to call me to speak about the dog’s situation and how I can perhaps help, but he didn’t bother reaching out at all. I was simply rejected by the admin staff, citing stupid reasons like how the board of association has ancestral beliefs and values as to why the dog has to be treated this way. What could they be? In my thirty-odd years of being a Buddhist, I would honestly like to learn what sort of beliefs these could be.
But more than that, I need everyone’s help here. I want the temple to give an answer on why they are treating this dog so cruelly. Please help to:
1. Share my post to raise awareness
2. Report to Avs
3. Tag the temple and appeal to their management
4. Tag whatever medias you can.
Let’s do whatever we can to help this innocent dog regain her freedom! She has wasted half her life being in captivity for nothing, and she deserves a new lease of life.”
