The government recently advised people to wear masks with high filtration capabilities when they need to go out.
A guy was seen taking that advice to a whole new level.
He was seen with an opened umbrella inside an MRT, shielding himself from the other commuters.
Maybe if he cannot see Covid-19, Covid-19 also cannot see him.
In the wake of Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal urging India’s government to ban all flights with Singapore because of the “Singapore variant” of the Covid-19 virus (which has since been debunked as originating from India), Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs has taken to Twitter to respond to Kejriwal.
Balakrishnan quoted Kejriwal’s tweet and said:
“Politicians should stick to facts! There is no ‘Singapore variant'”
The Ministry of Health has also fired back at Kejriwal’s claims in a press release themselves.
An uncle and auntie can be seen shouting at each other over the wearing of mask.
The uncle said “You never wear mask still dare to come out ah” in Hokkien. The auntie then pointed at the uncle and replied “Lj ah you”. The auntie then threatened to call the police.
Both of them continued to hurl vulgarities towards each other. The auntie then picked up a broom and wanted to use it to hit the uncle.

A video emerged online showing 2 uncles fighting at a coffeeshop.
One of the uncles was seen wielding a hammer as a weapon, using it to hammer the table trying to intimidate the other uncle.
He then held the hammer with two hands like Thor and struck an Avengers-worthy pose in front of his nemesis.

A girl took to Instagram to share how a guy allegedly took photos and videos of her chest inside an MRT.
She wrote that she was on the train about to reach Newton station, and she looked up and saw the guy pointing his phone at her friend and her suspiciously.
She then looked at the reflection on the window behind him and saw the camera pointing at her chest, and he was snapping pictures and taking videos.
She then confronted him, demanding to look at his gallery, to which he said:
“Why cannot?”
She then told him:
“If you didn’t do anything, you can show me your gallery.”
The guy then went to his gallery and accidentally showed her pictures of her in his phone, but then he realised his mistake and tilted his phone away and changed to another photo album.
He then showed her an album full of racy pictures of p*rnstars and women.
The girl then tried to take his phone to change back to the album with her in it, and the guy became aggressive and defensive.
The girl then backed off and pressed the emergency button.
The guy then hurriedly deleted the pictures and videos that he took of her before the SMRT staff came down.
You can read her full caption below:
“my friend and i were on the train reaching newton station, i looked up and saw the man pointing his phone at us in a really suspicious manner.
I looked into the reflection and saw him the camera onto my chest area and snapping pictures and taking videos.
i confronted him and asked to look at his gallery and he said in chinese “ why, cannot” then i said “if you didn’t do anything, you can show me your gallery.”
He then agreed and went to his gallery, he then show pictures/videos of me in his phone and he tilted his phone away and changed to another album.
He then showed me an album full of racy pictures of p*rnstars/women. i attempted to take his phone to change back to the album with me in it and he showed signs of aggression/ being really defensive and i backed away and pressed the emergency button.
He then proceeded to delete the picture/videos on his phone before the smrt staff came down and i didn’t have hard evidence against him despite my statement and the video that i’ve taken.
Please be careful when you are in public places.“

A woman was caught on CCTV stealing a parcel that was left outside a Luxus Hill Drive resident’s home.
The parcel contained a pair of $200 shoes and was left on top of the gate because no one was at home during the time of the delivery.
The woman then took the parcel, loaded it up into a metal trolley and left the scene in a silver car.

A Facebook user shared how her late husband died while doing delivery, and that when his phone was surrendered to her, she saw a lot of angry texts from customers.
Still digesting her husband’s death, she was right in front of her husband’s body and texting and apologising to each one of them while still in extreme shock.
She questioned why employers didn’t update the customers about the incident and arrange another date and time for delivery?
She pointed out that the food could be replaced immediately by dispatching another rider, or to refund the customers.
She appealed to the both employers and customers alike for compassion, asking for efficiency from the former, and patience and understanding from the latter.

Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) has responded to Delhi’s Chief Minister’s sensational claims of a “Singapore variant”, where he urged the central government to ban all flights from Singapore.
MOH responded via a press release that there was “no truth whatsoever in the assertions”.
The assertions in question refer to the article by Hindustan Times published on 18 May: “Coronavirus variant found in Singapore can be India’s 3rd wave, extremely dangerous for kids, warns Arvind Kejriwal”, as well as an article by NDTV: “Stop Singapore Flights: Arvind Kejriwal To Centre Over New Covid Strain”.
MOH said that there is no “Singapore variant”, and explained that the strain that we have seen in many of our recent Covid-19 cases is the B.1.617.2, which actually originated from India.
MOH’s full state:
“The Ministry of Health refers to the reports published by Hindustan Times on 18 May 2021 (“Coronavirus variant found in Singapore can be India’s 3rd wave, extremely dangerous for kids, warns Arvind Kejriwal”) and NDTV on 18 May 2021 (“Stop Singapore Flights: Arvind Kejriwal To Centre Over New Covid Strain”).“
“There is no truth whatsoever in the assertions found within the reports. There is no “Singapore variant”. The strain that is prevalent in many of the COVID-19 cases in recent weeks is the B.1.617.2 variant, which originated in India. Phylogenetic testing has shown this B.1.617.2 variant to be associated with several clusters in Singapore.”
As of 24 April, all long-term pass holders and short term visitors who have a recent travel history to India (including transit) in the last 14 days, have been barred entry into Singapore.

Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, India’s capital territory, has urged India to ban all flights with Singapore.
He tweeted that a new variant of Covid-19, which he claimed was “found in Singapore”, is “extremely dangerous” for children and could launch a third wave of infections in India.
Kejriwal was referring to the B.1.617 variant, which was in actual fact, first detected from India and originated from there.
He then appealed to the central government, saying that all air services with Singapore should be cancelled with immediate effect and that vaccination for children should be main priority.
Several Indian netizens have also pointed out to him that the variant is the same one that originated from India, and not Singapore.
Hindustan Times also used the term “Singapore virus” when reporting Kejriwal’s comments.

A Ferrari was seen accelerating on a wet and slippery road during a rainy day.
The car then lost control and started “drifting” left and right, in between lanes.
The vehicle ended up crashing against a kerb and its rear bumper got dislodged.
