A video emerged online in the wake of yesterday’s announcement that there were 457 new cases of Covid-19 in Singapore, as well as the death of a 62-year-old man who became Singapore’s 57th coronavirus casualty.
It would appear that the news hasn’t deterred Singaporeans from their favourite pastime, shopping and queueing up.
The video showed snaking long queues waiting to enter what is purportedly Takashimaya, because “die die must shop”.

A woman witness an accident and shared the encounter online:
Yesterday, I was one of the first to respond to an accident at the Central Boulevard/Cecil street crossing. Private car rams lorry with foreign workers, one of the workers falls off and gets overrun by his own lorry. Three people left in an ambulance, fortunately, no life-threatening injuries. Uncle in private car had pains from seat belt/airbag and the two workers had leg & head injuries for tumbling on the lorry.
How can a proud country like Singapore keep transporting foreign workers on lorries without proper protection?! In these days discussing racism, are their lives not as much worth as ours?
Picture of my own car as I avoided taking a pic of the accident with respect for the involved. See less

A photo was sent in by a netizen showing a cleaner scraping the candle wax, presumably leftover from the recent Hungry Ghost Month offerings, off the pavement.
The netizen who shared the photo said:
“When you burn your candles indiscriminately, the poor cleaner has to spend hours under the hot sun to scrape the wax off the pavements in the entire estate. 😵”

A video emerged online showing a group of YPs illegally vaping at a void deck.
They then pointed middle fingers at the camera, presumably as a “f**k you” to the law and authorities.
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 YP riding an illegal Fido PMD down a road.
He was stopped by a couple of passerbys who confronted him.
The YP then shouted “you think you who?” and attacked the passerbys.
According to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), On 3 Sep 2021, ICA officers at Changi Airfreight Centre, Air Cargo Command foiled an attempt to smuggle in five live hermit crabs in a parcel.
The crabs were uncovered when officers spotted anomalies in the scanned images of a parcel declared as ‘toys’. When they opened the parcel, they found the crabs hidden inside two containers. The case was later referred to the National Parks Board (NParks) for further investigation.
As guardians of Singapore’s borders, ICA is Singapore’s first and last line of defence. ICA will continue to stay vigilant and thwart any attempts to smuggle in prohibited or security items into Singapore.

Update: Wow, this group responds very fast! I have called the restaurant to resolve the issue. But I thought I would leave this here. For people who have never encountered this situation, people with allergies have to put twice the effort for a meal. For those with allergies, you are not alone…I have attempted to reach out to Yassin Kampung Admiralty since Sunday evening via website, Facebook DM, email and even left a comment on their recent FB post – in hopes to nudge them to attend to my messages. It has been 4 days since the incident, and it is leaving a horribly sour taste in my mouth. I had hoped we could resolve this amicably but it seems they rather ignore me completely.
On 5 Sep 2021, I noticed a new order machine was installed at the restaurant entrance for takeaways. Previously, I would order with the cashier who could enter remarks in the orders. Even for dine-in, their iPads could capture remarks so that I could indicate my allergies in the food orders. When attempting to place my takeaway order, I told the server at the cashier it couldn’t customize my order. Server said he would relay my customized order to kitchen, so just proceed to make order and payment at the machine. I ordered Crispy Noodle & Thai Fried Rice (No Egg No Chicken). 15 mins later, my Thai Fried Rice came out with egg when I checked on the spot. I told server and he took my container and said he would ask kitchen to make a fresh order for me. Another 15mins later, he passed me another container. When I checked, I could still see specks of egg, but I couldn’t make it out unless I dug through the rice. Server said he CONFIRMED there was no egg this time. He sounded a bit agitated with me, and hearing his confirmation, I left. I went home and dug through the container – and to my horror, it did have egg inside! I COULDN’T consume it at all because I’m ALLERGIC to POULTRY!
I am horribly disappointed because I don’t live nearby to the restaurant to easily go back to it. It is a restaurant and not a hawker, therefore there must be some standards to justify their charges. I waited half an hour for my order – but both times they came out wrong. I frequently bought food from this restaurant for my family, and after travelling the long distance, there was nothing in the bag that I could eat!
I felt very little after the incident and wanted to cry, because after a long day, it felt I didn’t deserve to have dinner simply because I was allergic to eggs. I wanted the restaurant to at least respond to me that they would update their order system. Completely ignoring me as though they aren’t savvy enough to attend to emails and FB messages – but able to create FB content and having technology in the restaurant – completely shows that 1 customer means nothing to them.
If you zoom in my photo, you will be able to see the egg texture found with the fried rice.
Frost air cleaning services – informed them of air-con not cold on 2 august. Problem is not resolved up to this date. They delete my negative posts of them in their Facebook faster than they revert me.
Their technicians has identified the problem of gas leak and to replace piping. But the next time they came down only to take away Meter and took another 2 weeks just to fuse gap of defective pipe. Technician said office asked him to fuse gap only. But my air con is still not working.
Very poor After sales service and rectification. Engage them at your own risk
