The advisory period or many call it the “trial” or “testing period” is over. The advisory to remind people to clear the tray has been going on for the past 3 months.
In the past 3 months Safe Distancing Ambassadors (SDAs), SG Clean Ambassadors, Community Volunteers and NEA officers deployed at hawker centres will continue to remind diners to clear their dirty trays.

Enforcement will commence on 1 September 2021 at all hawker centres. Enforcement officers will continue to advise diners to properly clear their dirty tray, crockery and litter and enforcement will apply to diners who do not heed the officers’ advice.
First-time offenders will be issued a written warning. Subsequent offenders may face composition or court fines. NEA will monitor the ground situation and make adjustments over time to the enforcement posture accordingly.
The composition fine quantum will be $300 which is similar to the quantum for other compoundable littering offences. Subsequent offenders may face court fines.

I am 4 months away from settling down with my boyfriend and lately, I’ve been feeling uneasy. I have anxiety thinking about settling down and how this is going to be a new journey for me as I have never been so far away from my family cause after the wedding, I will be moving across the world as he needs to work there.
Anyway, my boyfriend and I come from 2 different cultures and I come from a religious family. We have both been dating for quite a long time, almost a decade together and settling down at the end of this year.
To make my mother happy, my boyfriend will be joining my religion. This topic has always been very sensitive and important for both of us since he does not come from a family who believed in God and I do. At the beginning of the first few months we started dating, I told him being with me is not going to be easy at all as I come from a religious family. He said he doesn’t mind and said to let the future decide for us and if he has to be part of us, he’ll be willing to be part of us.
Today I found out that my boyfriend is not happy that he needs to pretend that he believes in God just so my mother could allow us to get married. He told me that he resents me for making him do this and I got really hurt when he said that. I have told him many times that he does not need to do this and he can find someone who accepts him for who he is but he kept saying he will do it and because he loves me, he wants to do it.
It has been days now that I haven’t talked to him because my heart is confused. I love him so much but at the same time I do not want to go into a marriage with him resenting me for doing something he does not want to do and before everyone attacks me and calls me a mummy’s girl and how her opinion should not matter in our marriage – my mother is the only person I have left in this world and her health is bad too and I do not wish to do something or against what she believes in and make her more sick as I’ve lost my father a decade ago too.
He did apologise for using the word resentment and admitted that it was a harsh word. I don’t know what to do anymore now. I don’t want to go into marriage life knowing that he has this feeling buried deep down in his heart.
I am at the verge of letting him go and be happy with someone else. I cannot afford to hurt both parties (him and my mother)… can someone advise me, please
I’m tired of crying every now and then being in this dilemma….

A netizen complained from Feb 2021 till 30th August, the situation hasn’t changed. The netizen has sent numerous emails to the town council and NEA nad the person appears to be still at large.
It appears that the resident’s email is only receiving feedback that it will be clean. Why not get rid of the root cause? you can come clean everyday meh.
Come catch lah

A video emerged online showing a YP filming himself vaping inside what appears to be his bedroom window.
Under section 16(2A) of the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act (TCASA), it is illegal to possess, purchase and use vaporisers in Singapore as of 1 February 2018.
Persons found guilty of this offence can be fined up to $2,000.
Let’s face it, the only reason Yale-NUS students are sour about the dissolution of their university is probably because they think the word “Yale” somehow makes them atas and exclusive. At the end of the day, these people still earn NUS degrees and if they’re not happy with the nomenclature, it doesn’t matter how much they try to mansplain, we all know why.
Yale-NUS has been an abomination from the start. No Ivy League university has ever tried to taint their reputation by selling out their brand in such a way. When they do so it is almost always set up as a dual-degree program where students are awarded two separate degrees from two separate institutions. Such as Harvard and Berklee, or Columbia and Science Po. As naff as dual degree programs are, they do not constitute a sell out because their cohorts are usually very small, and students would have gotten into either university.
Yale-NUS students would not have gotten into Yale, as much as they would have you believe otherwise.
It’s not as if their degrees are all suddenly being classified as unaccredited. You lose nothing other than kopitiam bragging rights, which honestly I’m sure Yale-NUS alums will still do.
