A resident who is staying at the National University of Singapore (NUS) was caught with cryptocurrency mining machines in the hostel.

This triggered an investigation by the school and the resident has since been ordered to remove the equipment, stating that it is for the safety of the residents.

Netizens are calling it “Free electricity mining” and while some people are criticising the students for taking advantage of the hostel facilities others say it’s a stroke of genius.

By the photo of the mining rig, netizens say that if all of them are GTX3060s the student should be making about USD$17.29 to USD$20 a day. The best part is the cost is only the machines, there are no running cost.

However, the school said that the device consumes a lot of electricity and generates high level of heat which can potentially be a fire hazard for the residents.

What do you guys think?

Safuan Kamarodin, 39-years-old, pleaded guilty yesterday to 4 charges; including rioting, and leaving Singapore from an unauthorised departure point.

He had assaulted a father and son at East Coast Lagoon Food Village, before fleeing Singapore to Batam for 9 months to avoid arrest.

He is expected to be sentenced next month.

What happened?

Safuan was with 8 other friends on 11 April 2021 when they got into a fight with a father and son duo at East Coast Lagoon Food Village after midnight.

The conflict occurred because Safuan’s friend, Nur Faisal Shan Hishamuddin Shan (otherwise known as Bhai), 34-years-old, had bumped into another man at the male toilet entrance.

Bhai then confronted the 51-year-old man, and the confrontation escalated with Bhai’s friends showing up to back him up.

Safuan then initiated the first blow and when the man fell onto the floor, the group attacked him by punching and kicking him for 20 seconds.

The victim then managed to get up and ran away.

The victim’s 20-year-old son and the rest of the man’s family were leaving the hawker centre afterwards and saw the group loitering around the area where they beat up his father, he then confronted the group about the attack.

The group then attacked the son by punching and kicking him, and he then ran away, with the group continuing to give chase, and even throwing a coconut at him.

Safuan attempted to throw a beer bottle at the 20-year-old but missed, and the group also chased the father through the hawker centre.

The father then fell down on the ground and Safuan then kicked him.

Throughout the encounters, the victims only tried to defend themselves and never retaliated, said the prosecution in court.

The police soon arrived and the victims were then conveyed to the hospital, where they were found to have suffered abrasions on their bodies.

Bhai is currently still at large and on the run.

2 months after the attack, Safuan made the decision to flee Singapore and avoid being detected and arrested.

He had paid someone $500 to arrange for his illegal departure from Singapore and took a boat from Tuas to Batam, staying there for 9 months.

He was earlier deported by the Indonesian authorities on 29 March.

Safuan was wanted by the police for investigations, and also had a warrant of arrest issued against him for his failure to show up at a court hearing for earlier, unrelated driving offences.

Trying to sleep without the noise of cars is always a problem for residents that are located along the main road.

A woman recently posted on Facebook describing her unhappiness with a Lamborghini that is generating a lot of noise in Yishun.

Here is what she said:

We know this is lamborghini and that you are very rich. But surely there is no need to revve up and down the estate of Yishun Avenue 11 day and night right? 4 to 5 times a day. We are staying next to the road side and the sound is disturbingly loud at the higher levels. For those of you who have your doubts, please drop by Yishun Park Hawker centre and hear for yourself.

Netizens pointed out:

The car V10 engine like that one, not on purpose also very noisy one.

He didn’t do anything extraordinary or extra revving, the car is simply this loud from a V10 engine.
