A video emerged online showing a girl filming herself illegally vaping before breaking out into a dance.
It appears to be a dance video for TikTok, although the need for vaping was questionable.
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.

A video emerged online showing a motorcyclist and his pillion stopping at a traffic light, and everything appeared to be well.
Until a fellow motorist spotted a cockroach happily crawling on top of the female pillion’s helmet.
The cockroach was crawling all over her helmet, with the woman blissfully unaware.
God only knows what would’ve happened if the motorcycle was moving and she noticed it then.

A TikTok user, @nicabits, received a comment from a Singapore parent who complained that her kid is now speaking with a Pinoy accent.
The parent said that her kid’s teacher is a Pinoy, blaming the teacher for passing on the accent to her child.
She then wanted MOE to stop employing Pinoys because she doesn’t want her kids to speak with the accent.
@nicabits then replied that if the child is speaking with an accent, that means the parent is not spending enough time with the child.

Facebook user Star, who went to FairPrice Finest Paya Lebar Quarter was shocked to find a product that states “Fresh Chicken Minced”. But the Price tag is Pork loin slices.
So is the meat chicken or pork, it does look like minced meat, but not sure if it is chicken or pork. It is obviously not Pork loin slices.
“Hi Muslim friends.. pls be careful when buying this kind of meat.. happen to me laa seii.. lucky sis never buy.. read properly ok friends.. jgn main beli jer..”
“This is not acceptable. We live in a multiracial society comprising people with different beliefs. We must understand and respect cultural/racial/religious diversities and sensitivities. For example, vegetarians don’t eat meat, Hindus don’t eat beef and Muslims don’t eat non-halal food (especially pork).
In this case, the item is pasted with 2 labels – one label says halal minced chicken, while the other says sliced pork. This is clearly a human error. Staff needs to be notified so this can be rectified immediately.
As it is a religious obligation for Muslims to consume only Halal food, this incident could lead to a serious religious transgression for Muslims. Hence, this post is to reach out to all (especially Muslims so they are aware and don’t accidentally buy pork instead of chicken) in Singapore because this retailer operates islandwide. Non-Muslims might like to know of this mix-up too so we don’t buy the wrong meat.Sorry for the long comment.
I’m not a Muslim but just wanted to share a little bit for those whom might find this helpful. Thank you for reading.”
Assoc Prof Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim interviewed the Traffic Police and learns that there are about the six kinds of traffic cameras in Singapore.
There are mobile types which can be deployed to islandwide that runs on battery.

A netizen, @ir_0208, shared how he got fired from his job for something that he didn’t do.
He was working as a safe-entry scanner attendant.
He said that he was using his phone to help two ladies figure out where bus 99 was.
An old Chinese man then took a video of him, assuming that he was playing games on his phone instead of working.
The guy was then fired from his job.
He said that the only reason he could think of as to why he was fired is because the old man threatened the hospital where he was working at, threatening to release the video onto social media.
The unnamed hospital then let him go because they allegedly didn’t want to be associated with him.
The old man claimed to be from the Westgate management.
