A 47-year-old man was packing his fishing gear when he was swept by the waves and out into the sea.

He then drowned and died.

According to Lianhe Wanbao, the incident happened on 6 November at around 11pm at East Coast Park.

He was spotted by a few anglers who jumped into the water to try to save him.

A witness spoke to Lianhe Wanbao saying that he heard a commotion and rushed to the scene, seeing an unconscious man lying down and people trying to resuscitate him without success.

It is unclear how exactly the man fell into the waters and according to the Chinese daily, the man was already unconscious when he was found floating in the sea.

The man was allegedly walking along the beach to retrieve his fishing gear placed in different places after drinking while fishing.

The SCDF confirmed that they received a call for help at East Coast Part at the time, and a person was sent to CGH.

Infamous Singaporean anti-vaxxer Iris Koh has had her content removed by YouTube for violating the platform’s community guidelines.

Her videos contained misleading information about the coronavirus, with MOH noting that her content “perpetuates falsehood and misleading information about Covid-19 and vaccines”.

Some of her videos were titled “Why we don’t want to take the vaccine: Stories from the community”, “Do not take the C-19 vaccine until you watch this.”

YouTube then posted a statement addressing the removal of her content:

“We are committed to keeping YouTube safe from harmful Covid misinformation and since the beginning of the pandemic, we’ve had clear and established Covid-19 medical misinformation policies. We first announced in October 2020 that we would expand our Covid-19 Medical Misinformation policy to remove claims about Covid-19 vaccinations that contradict expert consensus from local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO). Since then, we’ve removed over 130,000 videos for violating our Covid-19 vaccine policies. Additionally, we have vaccine alerts that point users to authoritative information about the Covid-19 vaccine.”

MOH said in their press release that they welcome the move and noted that Koh was previously suspended by Facebook as well for violating their community guidelines.

Travellers who are vaccinated can soon travel (via flights) between Singapore and Malaysia without being quarantined as early as 29 November.

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob released a joint statement announcing that both countries will be launching a Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) between Changi Airport and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

However, it is worth noting that the reopening only encompasses travel via air and excludes land travel via the Causeway and/or Second Link between the two countries.

Travellers who enter Singapore via the VTL need not serve a SHN, but instead will undergo a PCR test before departure and on arrival.
