A netizen sends in a photo of a woman who appears to be enjoying her luxurious space on the MRT train by putting her bag and smelly jacket/towel on the reserved seat.
The man who sends in the photo said that all seats are occupied and there are people standing without seats.
The woman probably paid for two seats that’s why she can occupy both the seats.
A resident living in the HDB neighbourhood in Hougang Ave 8 has reported that a group of more than 10 elderly gathers at the void deck of Block 673 Hougang Ave 8 to gamble daily.
According to Shin Min Daily News, from a year ago, they will allegedly gather everyday and start playing from 11am till around 5pm, occupying two void deck tables due to the size of the crowd.
The resident says that although they do not drink and smoke or make a lot of noise, they were always seen not wearing their masks properly.
Besides, there are children that walk pass the area and their gambling activities might bring a bad influence to the children.
When the group of elderly was questioned, one of them mentioned that they are doing this to “exercise” their brains to prevent dementia.
They also claimed that they were not making a lot of noise and are fully vaccinated, so there is no reason to be afraid of the possible transmission of Covid-19.
The number of people allowed in social gatherings still stands at 5 pax, at the timing of this post.
A cyclist shared an incident that happened to him while he was cycling.
He wrote that he was cycling when his bike suddenly got caught on some netting on the ground.
He then crashed and fell onto a pair of black spitting cobras that were tangled inside the net.
One of the snakes was in an attack position while the other one was dead.
Here is the story:
“I just want to share this for the safety of everyone walking/cycling in forests and parks. Please by careful and try to wear proper attire.
I caught my bike on some ground netting, and ended up crashing. My bike fell onto a pair of black spitting cobras, and was tangled heavily with the snakes and the netting. One was in a attack position while the other one died immediately (crushed under the tyre). I called acres, who advised me to stay away and watch if or where the snakes moved to. (Do not try to touch or move any snake you are not sure is dead)
A short while later, the other snake who originally tried to attack was motionless, and I noticed it was caught in the netting and chain. It later died. Luckily I was not bitten, and was not too badly injured.I would also like to thank the 2 passers by who help me untangle my bike, and use sticks to move the netting away.
Please do not attempt to move or harm a living black cobra, as it is extremely venomous. It can bite (fatally), or spray venom from over 2m away.Sharing to inform others of what to do in a snake encounter etc. Very scary experience”
