A man was filmed by a car’s security camera for ripping off a wiper from the back of a vehicle.
It is believed that the man was unhappy as there was limited space for him to move his vehicle.
However, this is a crime that can be charged under Singapore’s Mischief Penal Code. If the man is found guilty of causing damage of $500 or more he can face imprisonment of a maximum of 2 years and/or a fine.
The wiper is cheap but if ripping the wiper cause the motor to be damaged it can cost much more for repair.

A netizen sends in an email exposing a Thai Disco that has hostesses working inside and they are offering other Thai girls to work if “ladies drink” commission.
Here is the story:
Sharing this piece of info on a Thai girl who is a Singapore PR. The operator of a Siam Diu who is now openly recruiting for hostesses on her FB.
S***** Bar at Golden Mile Complex, a so-called FnB joint but in truth a Thai disco in operation. Siam diu owner, who is a Singapore PR from Thailand, openly recruiting for hostesses on FB, now that the authorities are relaxing their checks on such places. Attached is her photo. Even though hostesses are still not allowed today, it seems like this operator will challenge the law. The KTV saga had already died down.
Many places are reopening or have already reopened. The operators, especially those that were not caught in the previous KTV cluster, are back in business and recruiting for hostesses openly on FB.
Her post shows that ladies drinks (LD) can cost up to $520 per 24 shots and using this as an incentive for recruitment. Targeted towards Thai wives living in Singapore. Do they care that history may repeat itself?
Why should they care, the money is too good for them to stop. This owner has a banker boyfriend to assist her on this as well.
This shows that money counts above anything in the nightlife business. But challenging the laws so openly now that we have just reopened slightly?
There have been many scammers from China there are using phone calls to scare people by pretending to be “MOH” officials. They will first scare the victim into believing them and later ask for your bank information.
Here is an encounter by a netizen:
Just received a call from robocall that told me to press 3 and someone speaking Chinese claiming to be from “MOH” informed me that someone USED my name (I gave a false name) to send false covid news in china.
Then they asked me to write down a bunch of details of the registered phone number in shanghai before “forwarding” me to “shanghai police”.
The “policeman” asked a bunch of questions, then asked me to search for the shanghai police station before showing me the official website’s contact number and called me back spoofing that number and claiming that he will record a “statement” from me before he can investigate this impersonation fraud.
I hung up and he called me multiple times and even WhatsApp me which I ignore and report on WhatsApp.
A netizen, Gilbert Goh, shared a heartbreaking photo depicting the forgotten and neglected members of our society.
Goh started a charity campaign to provide money and food for the poor and homeless in Singapore, and he chanced upon an elderly tissue seller.
Goh handed him an angbao and the uncle was so moved that he started crying.
Here is what Gilbert had to say:
“Shocked when this elderly tissue paper seller shed tears after passing him our angbao earlier today.
He is a regular peddler at the usual spot and there are many passer-by who supported him by buying his tissues or just drop him some small cash out of sympathy.
We sometimes passed him our free meals whenever we are distributing at that vicinity and he seems to be there 24/7 even late at night.
If you do pass by that area and see him peddling his tissues, why not support him by buying some?
Do something good for Singapore – a charity movement to alleviate the hardships of displaced elderly Singaporeans.”
