A video emerged online showing a guy eating inside his car.
Because the current Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) restrictions dictate that no dining-in is allowed, the guy embraced his inner Thomas Edison and thought out of the box.
He used a mop wringer as a table to hold his plastic packet food.
INGENUITY.

In a video of a phone recording with Singapore streamer Kiaraa Kitty posted onto YouTube, it exposed her allegedly admitting to scamming guys for money and her modus operandi on who to target.
In the phone recordings, she could be heard confessing to multiple crimes that she allegedly committed.
She mentioned in the phone recording that she scammed about 7 guys in Singapore from online forums of their money.
She also said that she scammed more than $30k from an NS Regular over a period of 2 years, setting a goal for him to give her $10k over 3 months for his “liver tumour growth”.
The guy then found out about her scam and reported it to the police, but was told that she was his “girlfriend” and that the money was a “loan”.
She then got a restraining order against him because he kept going to her house to beg for his money back.
She also mentioned about wanting to kill another streamer who allegedly cheated on her, using the money she mentioned to do it.
She then shared about the type of guys that she would target for her scams, usually those who have never had a girlfriend because she knows that they are vulnerable.
She would then hint to them that she is struggling with life and if she can’t get enough money, she would sell herself.
She also said that she would target those who don’t have a good family situation, and that those people are very vulnerable and she can then take something from them.
She then boasted of her scams, saying that she’s a “natural honey”, that she was “born to be a scammer” and she “scammed like seven guys and never got caught”.
She then said that the SAF regular that she scammed out of $30k, she targeted him because she knew that “his father got killed, he had no dad and he only had his mom”.
Instagram page @ourfallenwarriors also posted on their account and addressed Kiaraakitty’s scam.
In a CNN interview by presenter Julia Chatterley with Singapore’s Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, Chatterley brought up the music video of Phua Chu Kang rapping and urging Singaporeans to get vaccinated.
She said that she “absolutely loved it” and enjoyed watching the video.
Dr Balakrishnan then responded that the music video was “corny but effective”, and that it “certainly got the attention of people and got the message out there.”
He added:
“It is a way of getting people’s attention, explaining it in a humorous way. And yet, a very serious message. That this is lifesaving, and this is the way we need to get out of this box that Covid-19 has trapped us in for the last 1½ years.”
The music video, titled Get Your Shot, Steady Pom Pi Pi, stars Gurmit Singh who plays the affable character of Phua Chu Kang, alongside Irene Ang, who plays Phua Chu Kang’s wife, Rosie.
Irene Ang took to Instagram to share her reaction of the video airing on CNN, she said:
“It is so surreal seeing myself and Gurmit on CNN reports, among many international media.”

Aye Aye Than, 26-years-old, reportedly spat on, hit and forcefully grabbed the neck of a 72-year-old stroke patient under her care.
The Myanmar national pleaded guilty to one count of voluntarily causing hurt to a vulnerable person and was sentenced to 10 weeks jail yesterday (3 June).
Another 3 charges of using criminal force against the victim were considered during sentencing.
What happened?
The victim lived with his wife and daughter, and he was bedridden after suffering multiple strokes.
He was unable to perform daily tasks on his own and he choked easily on food, resulting in him needing to be fed through a tube.
The victim also found it difficult to speak because it was painful.
Aye Aye Than was employed to take care of the victim from 1 Jan 2020 to 7 Feb 2021.
She was tasked with changing his diapers, feeding him 5 times a day as well as removing his phlegm.
Than underwent training at Ren Ci Community Hospital during the first few days of her employment, where the victim had undergone rehabilitation.
On 5 February this year, at around 8.30am, she hit the victim’s arm with excessive force while feeding him.
She then spat on his face a while later.
Later that same day, she grabbed the back of the victim’s head forcefully while helping him up from his wheelchair.
The abuse was then reported to the police 2 days later on 7 February, by the victim’s daughter.
Unable to defend himself
CCTV footages of the abuse were played in court, and Deputy Public Prosecutor Jotham Tay said that the victim was bedridden and had difficulty communicating, hence he was particularly vulnerable.
Aye Aye then mitigated for herself and said that she was sorry and that she was the breadwinner for her family.
She pleaded for the shortest possible sentence, explaining that she wanted to return to Myanmar.
The judge then said:
“The only thing that can be said in favour of the accused is that she has pleaded guilty so there is no need for the victim to testify in court, if that is even possible.”
“I hope that after this is over… (such) things will not happen with you again. You should really reflect on what you’ve done.”
A district court heard on 3 June that former Mediacorp actor, Shane Pow Xun Ping, 30, is intending to plead guilty to his drink-driving charge.
He is due to return to court on 14 July for his admission.
He was fined and disqualified from driving in 2014 for a similar offence and thsi will be his second drink-driving conviction.
Pow could very well end up in jail this time because repeat drink drivers are liable to be jailed for up to 2 years as well as a fine of up to $20,000.
His latest offence happened on 17 September last year at around 11.20pm, where he was found to have 49 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath, the prescribed limit is 35 micrgrams per 100ml of breath.
Pow was driving a van along Java Road towards Nicoll Highway at the time.
Separately, Pow was also one of the guest present in an illegal party held at actor Terence Cao’s home during the Phase 2 period of 2020.
