A netizen shared how it was raining very heavily one day and a lot of people were stranded at the bus stop due to the downpour.
A kind construction worker offered his umbrella to her, as well as others, providing shelter to them as he lets himself get drenched by the rain, despite wearing a raincoat.
The netizen shared that the worker said: “Use the umbrella to get home, I have a raincoat.”
He then made sure she was covered from the rain and sheltered her, as well as the others after her.
A video circulating on Whatsapp showing many groups of people walking towards the arrival section of Changi Airport. However the video is not a recent video
They were seen carrying luggage and different documents such as passports or forms. It is unclear when the video was exactly filmed but
The video was filmed somewhere last year OR earlier this year and started circulating again recently.
We do not know the exact date when the video was filmed and we are only made aware that the video is circulating on Whatsapp and it could be a fake video.
Another Facebook page made claims that the video was filmed 5/5/2021
Samantha, 24, often uses the MRT to travel back home from work. However, she finds it hard to stand or walk for long due to being in remission for leukaemia and other “invisible conditions” such as atrial septal defect and flat foot. She feels shy to ask for a seat from fellow commuters.
To help commuters with medical conditions like Samantha, Caring SG commuters has extended an initiative called “May I have a Seat, Please?” with a new lanyard and card so that they can ask fellow commuters for a seat, or allow other commuters to give them their seat.
Those that are in need of the lanyard and card can approach any Passenger Service Centres and Ticket Offices to get one.
Ong Ye Kung Posted a Facebook post earlier today describing the initiative:
“Meet Samantha, 24. She takes public transport to work and often feels tired on the journey home.
That is partly because she is in remission for leukaemia, and has other long-term conditions like atrial septal defect and flat foot. But you can’t tell by looking at her. All these ‘invisible’ conditions make it tough for her to stand or walk for long.
But when the train or bus is crowded, she feels shy to ask for a seat. Caring SG Commuters has expanded the ‘May I have a Seat, please?’ sticker initiative with a new lanyard and card so that commuters like Samantha, who have invisible medical conditions or disabilities, can ask for a seat on public transport more easily or better, be offered one without having to ask.
The new lanyard is even more special for Samantha, as it incorporates a design by her, based on her favourite colours and cartoon characters! If you know someone who needs this lanyard and card, let them know that they can approach any Passenger Service Centres and Ticket Offices to obtain one.
Let’s be gracious and nice to our fellow commuters.”
Cai Zhi Jie, 24, currently faces a total of 3 counts of molest. On 24 May 2019 and 20 June 2019, he inappropriately touched 2 females in the MRT while they were asleep. In addition, during his court bail, he molested another victim again on 7 February 2021.
The suspect pretends to rummage through his backpack when he notices his target has fallen asleep. He then grabs the opportunity to use his elbow to touch the victim’s chest inappropriately.
The suspect pleaded guilty on 4 May 2021. He is sentenced to 11 months in prison.
