The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) released a statement on 12 March, stating that several importers in Singapore have been told to recall eggs from Lay Hong Berhad Layer Farm Jeram in Malaysia because the Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) present in the eggs may cause foodborne illness is they were to be consumed raw or undercooked.
The affected importers are Ang Seng Eggs Supplier, Dasoon Pte Ltd, Heng Guan Food Industrial and Lam Leng Trading Co, and the eggs that are affected have the farm code “CES008” on the egg shells.
SFA noted that the affected eggs are nevertheless safe to consume IF they are cooked thoroughly before being eaten, as SE can be destroyed by heat, which means you’ll need to coock the egg white and egg yolk until they are solid.
People who have eaten the eggs and feel unwell are advised to seek medical attention.
The Malaysian farm is currently suspended and SFA will lift the suspension once the farm has rectified the SE issue with their eggs.
A netizen took to Facebook to share how a fridge that she donated to someone else had been resold.
She posted on a Facebook group named “(Singapore) give away/donate item FOC for those who might need”.
What happened?
The OP posted a photo on 9 March, of her fridge that she wanted to pass on and give away for free, presumably to someone who needs it more.
A woman then indicated her interest in the fridge in the comments, so the netizen decided to give the fridge to the woman.
The woman who received the fridge then lamented that it was “very small” and said that she will look for a bigger one, to which the OP asked her to pass it on to someone else who needs it more once she’s found a bigger fridge.
The OP then scrolled through Facebook and was dismayed to find that her fridge that she gave the woman was being listed for $60 on a separate page.
So the OP confronted the woman.
You can see their full exchange below.

The Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) is in the midst of investigating potential copyright infringements after being made aware of the infamous plagiarism of Singapore’s perennial NDP song, “Count On Me Singapore” into “Count On Me India”.
MCCY released a statement on Facebook to address the viral music videos circulating online:
The infamous plagiarised song copied the original song word for word and only changed the words “Singapore” to “India”.
A number of the “Count On Me India” videos have been taken down from YouTube after facing a severe and intense backlash from Singaporeans.

A video surfaced online showing a Singaporean “Karen” shouting at a pair of siblings.
The two siblings were purportedly laughing at a video that they were watching on the bus, and “Karen” then verbally attacked them, saying that they are not allowed to talk or laugh on the bus.
She said: “You’re not supposed to talk on the bus”, to which the guy replied: “Then what are you doing?”
“Karen” could be heard shouting at the siblings to “get out of Singapore”, although it isn’t clear if the siblings were foreigners or not.
The auntie then got up from her seat and approached the girl aggressively, as the girl’s brother got up and put his hands between “Karen” and his sister to protect her.
The auntie then shouted at the girl: “WHO ARE YOU?”
To which the girl replied: “I’m my mother’s daughter lah, then who am I?”
The auntie then said that her husband will kill the girl before she alighted from the bus.
You can read the OP post in full below:
“Auntie karen here started shouting at my family and i in bus 913 at marsiling, because we were laughing at a video that we were watching. Be careful of her, she claims that her husband will kill all of us LOL. She actually stood up come near us and wanted to hit us (my younger sister and i).“
