According to Immigration & Checkpoints Authority Singapore (ICA), ICA officials at Pasir Panjang Scanning Station discovered abnormalities in the scanned pictures of a container containing a consignment stated as “kids’ toys” on August 7, 2021.
ICA officers then conducted a supervised unstuffing operation at the importer’s location, revealing 12 sets of handgun replicas and accessories hidden within the shipment.
Under the Arms and Explosive Act, pistol replicas are prohibited. For further investigation, the matter was forwarded to the Singapore Police Force.
The decision in accordance with the guidelines given by Sport Singapore in line with the new Safe Management Measures (SMM) by the government.
Spectators must however show proof of vaccination (fully vaccinated with vaccines in Singapore/recognised by WHO) or a negative antigen rapid test (ART) result.
The definition of fully vaccinated in this case means 14 days after the second dose.
Those that choose to take the ART test must do so by a certified practitioner by the Ministry of Health.

The father of one of our friend recounted a spooky encounter that he had when crossing the Johor-Singapore border few years ago.
He works as a bus driver in Singapore but lives in Johor Bahru so he wakes up at about 3.00am to ride his motorbike across the border everyday.
One morning as he was travelling from home to the customs, he happen to spot one of his fellow colleague riding in front of him.
He noticed a lady with long hair pillioning on the back of his bike and thought that maybe the colleague was ferrying his wife to Singapore as well.
When he reached the mamak store where he get his breakfast from daily, he noticed that his colleague was alone.
He then asked the colleague where the lady pillion was.
Confused by what he was talking about, the colleague asked him back “what lady are you talking about i was all alone”
He then started to describe the lady that he saw and as he was describing her to his colleague, he spotted from the corner of his eyes the said lady pillioning on another bike looking at him with a wide grin and the eyes were without black pupils.
A netizen has shared one of his best responses to scammers who prey on people via scam message.
He received a Whatsapp message from a scammer initially, and before the scammer can say anything else, the man replies the scammer with his bank account balance.
If we are the scammer, we would probably just move on to the next target also upon seeing his bank account balance.

A netizen shared with us on a strange dream that he had a few days ago about his deceased Grandmother.
Here is his story
“Hi, I noticed that many people have shared their eerie stories with you guys and I decided to share one encounter that I had just a few days ago.
It was the first day of 7th month when I dreamt of my deceased grandmother. I was her favourite grandson when she was alive.
In my dream, I saw my grandmother walking into my house and greeting me. She was smiling at me happily but I realised that her clothes were torn and tattered.
I woke up the next day and remembered the dream so I walked to the kim zua shop opposite my house to buy some incense paper and a few new clothes to burn for her.
I went to bed at around the same time as the night before.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I felt something caressing my hand. Thinking that it was my brother playing a prank on me, I decided to punch him. I opened my eyes and saw no one there.
I ignored the incident and thought that maybe I was thinking too much.
That night, my Grandmother came into my dream again. This time, she was wearing the clothes that I burned for her but she was holding on to a boiled egg and massaging her arm.
She then asked me why did I punch her so hard when she was just patting me to sleep just like she did when I was young.”
A netizen shared with us a story of how his previous relationship failed and now he is elated that his ex-girlfriend got impregnated and dumped by her new guy.
Here is his story
“I have been together with my ex for almost two years before we ended our relationship.
I was her first boyfriend. Before she started to be in a relationship with me, her perception of love were all based on Korean dramas where the guys were all romantic, sweet and thoughtful.
Each time I did not do something that was thoughtful and gentlemanly in her eyes, she would always throw tantrums and cry because she was disappointed.
Basically she used what she see in Korean dramas to set the standard for relationships.
I tried my best to meet her expectations, but finally decided that enough was enough and chose to give up on the relationship even though I still loved her at that time.
Not long after, they started dating and got into a relationship.
At the beginning, she kept posting photos of how sweet their love was and probably also to show me that she found the dream guy of her expectations.
However after a few months, her social media was suddenly deleted. She basically disappeared from everywhere and even changed her phone number.
I got to know from her friend recently that the Korean guy she was with got her pregnant and did not want to take responsibility because his parents felt that her family was of a lower status than theirs (in fact her family was more well to do than theirs)
He even wanted her to abort the baby and dumped her.
She eventually went for abortion and after dumping her, he even had the cheek to ask her to lend him USD 50,000 to start up a salon business in Korea.
I know that I should feel bad for her but I don’t know why deep inside me I feel so happy that this actually happened to her.
If I can go to the club now I will definitely pop a few bottles of champagne.
Hopefully she wakes up from her fairytale dream now.”
A netizen shared a story about how the ghost of his late friend accompanied him for a smoke during his reservist at an unspecified army camp.
Here is the story:
“Hi all, my name is (name withheld) and I want to share a sad story about my late friend.
We grew up together and during our NS days, we were fortunate enough to be posted to the same unit after our BMT.
Soon, we ORDed and I joined his father’s company and we were reunited once more in our working life.
However, our reunion was short lived and he passed away in a horrible motorcycle accident.
During my first reservist, I reported back to our camp without him and reminisced about the things we used to do together during our NS.
One night after lights out, I went down to the smoking area by myself for a smoke.
I was alone at the time and lit a cigarette.
I looked around me and I could feel like he was with me, and so I lit up another cigarette and placed it on the bench beside me.
I said: “I know you’re here bro, better don’t do anything to scare me ah!”
I then looked at the cigarette beside me and saw that it was burning out really fast, as though someone (or something) was smoking it.
I felt a little scared but I had a feeling that it was my dead buddy, which eased my fears a little because I know he would never do anything to hurt me.
That night, after returning to my bunk following my smoke, I had a dream about my friend.
He told me that he was trying to quit smoking and asked me why the f*** I gave him a cigarette.
I woke up with a smile on my face, it felt like he was never gone.”
