Just when the internet goes nuts over Oreo cake, there is a Toblerone version of the cake as well.
The cakes are on sales at Giant supermarkets
The cake is with lots of tasty crunchy almonds going for $11.95, still cheaper than a neighbourhood cake and taste 10 times better.
The oero version is going for $12.95
A car was seen driving in the rain in Teck Whye, there was so much water that the road cannot be seen.
This is very dangerous.
A man was waiting at a bus stop and it seems that the water has even reached the footpaths. If you look closely in the video, you will not be able to see his foot. Almost ankle deep.
According to a Facebook post by Jurong-Clementi Town Council, It has been found that the fault lies in the contractor.
What do you guys think?
Commentary: Jurong-Clementi Town Council (JCTC) has concluded its investigation on why, as found by SCDF on 1 Nov 2019, there was no water supply for the fire hose reel at the 13th floor of Blk 210A, Bukit Batok St 21 at the time. It has found that J. Keart Alliances Pte Ltd (JKeart), the contractor responsible for maintaining the hose reels, had been negligent in failing to ensure that a selector switch at the pump room in Block 210A was in the correct mode following a maintenance exercise of the pumps carried out 2 weeks beforehand. As a result, JCTC will issue a Notice of Non-Performance to JKeart holding it contractually responsible for the failure.
JCTC will continue to partner Bukit Batok community leaders to support Mdm Goh and her family, and is grateful to those who have made donations for the purpose. JCTC Town Councillors continue to keep Mdm Goh and her family in our thoughts and prayers.

JKeart had earlier provided JCTC a report, including signed statements from several of its employees who attended to the incident at Blk 210A on 1 Nov 2019, asserting that the hose reels had been properly maintained and, in particular, that there was water supply to the hose reels at the material time.
JKeart’s report contradicted Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF)’s findings that the hose reel on the 13th floor of Blk 210A had no water supply during its firefighting operation at about 4.30am on 1 Nov, JCTC undertook further investigation.
Apart from interviewing JKeart and its employees, JCTC retrieved and examined video footage from the CCTVs installed at the lifts of Block 210A. After close review, it found that on the day of the fire incident, at about 8 am, a JKeart employee took one of the lifts at the block to the top floor from which the pump room may be accessed.
JKeart, after revisiting the matter with the employee, informed JCTC that its earlier report asserting that there was water in the hose reel on the day of the fire incident was incorrect. It disclosed that the employee concerned had confessed he went to the pump room at about 8 am on the day in question, after the fire, and saw that the selector switch was in “manual-mode”.
In that mode, there would be no water pumped to the hose reel system. He immediately switched the selector switch to “auto-mode”, which activated the pumping of water to the hose reel system. JKeart further informed that its employee had switched the selector switch to “manual-mode” during a recent maintenance cycle conducted 2 weeks beforehand, so as to check each pump’s operations separately. He had then forgotten to switch it back to “auto-mode”. This failure had led to the hose reel system in Blk 210A having no water at the time when SCDF officers were engaged in the firefighting operation.
JCTC will issue a Notice of Non-Performance to JKeart holding it contractually responsible for its failure to ensure that the hose reel system was operationally ready. JKeart has informed JCTC that it has taken appropriate action against its employee, who will also be redeployed.

JCTC has also looked into why the hose reel cabinets in Block 210A had been secured with small padlocks. The action to lock the cabinets had been taken by one of its property officers, following frequent vandalism of the cabinets. This was a mistake, as it meant that the cabinets could only be opened with force during an emergency, as SCDF had done during the recent fire incident. In the recent incident, despite gaining access to the hose reel system, SCDF was not able to activate it because it had no water for the reasons set out in the above section.
While the officer has provided dedicated service to JCTC over many years, he will be redeployed. Two senior officers with supervisory roles over the officer will also be penalised.
Separately, JCTC officers have inspected the hose reels, fire extinguishers and other fire safety equipment in all the seven wards in JCTC to ensure they are in working condition. It noted that while almost all the hose reel systems were in operating condition, many hose reel cabinets had been damaged through vandalism. In a few instances, other fire safety equipment had also been vandalised. JCTC is taking urgent steps to repair and replace the damaged cabinets and equipment.
JCTC will not hesitate to refer persons damaging and misusing fire safety equipment to the authorities for investigation. JCTC is also looking into other steps to minimise the incidence of vandalism in the future, including changing the design of hose reel and fire extinguisher cabinets and their locking mechanisms.
JCTC has set up a committee comprising of elected Town Councillors Mr Ang Wei Neng (as Chairman), Dr Tan Wu Meng and Mr Murali Pillai to recommend measures to ensure reliability of fire emergency equipment, beyond the actions already being taken. The committee will engage independent experts and residents before making its proposals for further corrective and preventive measures.
According to a Police media release, a 34-year-old old man has been arrested after reports of loanshark harassment were made.

My Daughter happen to encounter swollen and super hot 🥵 max patches on face and body till I was so shocked .

Starting we notice small patches and she tend to scratch it , and we thot it’s normal insect bite or etc so we applied afew medicine and it turns out to have more and more over a day.
Till the extend that we went to a nearby child clinic but nth turns better but turn worst till it swollen n it so hot when u touches it . And she will scream when u touch her.
And I was trying to intending to bring her to hospital and she asked for bread from downstairs so I carried her with me to get it.

When I was so shocked and she told me to go to this clinic. I immediately bring her there n queue for an hr plus Bt …. after applying the medication which it’s ard 1pm, night time she is able to eat alrd and also the swollen become better .
Yes certified it’s chloride burn.
She went swimming the day before this happen.
Bt then she goes often but it’s just first time she encounter that.
I did asked doctor why she often swim Bt only this time she got this & she said: coz diff ppl have diff level of skin tolerance .
And she might be having thin and sensitive skin and why it only happens this time coz this round the chloride might be coz of newly changed water or etc for that day when she went Swimming.
Or maybe certain places the amt is different is oso a possibility .
So hoping to share this to all parents for awareness.

Do take note : it’s not which Swimming pool that will cause this , coz they need to put chloride for sure but wd I meant was to take note coz some kids can’t take the chloride level of the pool you are at on that certain day
Earlier today, the media reported that there is an update to the current version of the National Anthem. The Singapore Flag and National anthem are symbols that represent the nation, any change to it should be considered major.
Why was it not informed earlier? We don’t know
Other countries do not change the flag or national anthem just like that. Unless the people are first asked and agree with it.
An example, a referendum took place in New Zealand where voters are asked if they wanted a new flag design or vote to use the existing flag. The vote lasted for 3 weeks before the decision was made to keep the current flag.
A game of “Truth Or Dare” will be a nightmare if she heard of the phrase ever again. A 15-year-old girl was raped at the foot of HDB after she got drunk.
The incident involved a group of males ranging from 18 to 19 years old and one 15-year-old female. The incident happened on the 17 of October 2017, One of the males in the group bought strong beers from a shop to play the “Truth or Dare” game.
The 19-year-old man who committed the crime pleaded guilty on 31/10/2019 for one count of rape now wants to withdraw his guilty plea.
It has been reported that the 19-year-old was supposed to be sentenced today but now he intends to withdraw his plea of guilt. The accused is currently seeking a new set of lawyers to defend his case.
According to CNA, the prosecutor said: “Technically speaking, he has not satisfied the legal threshold to convince your honour to retract the plea”.
The accused has been granted one month to find new layers to represent him for this care.
If he is convicted he will be facing up to 20 years jail and/or fine and/or rotan.
