A video was recently uploaded to SGRV Facebook page showing construction workers using DIY sampan to move around after the site was flooded.
From the video, two construction workers were seen using a wooden plank as a sampan to move around in a flooded site. It is believed that the flood was caused by the recent heavy rain.
Facebook user Thomas Koh has recently shared his unpleasant encounter with a food operator on Complaint Singapore Facebook page.
According to his post, a steel wool mesh was found inside his food that was bought from 金味海鲜 Zi Char Stall located at Block 147 Serangoon North Ave 1. The user then mentioned that the steel wool mesh has almost killed him after choking on it.

He then went back to the stall and told the stall supervisor about what had happened. Instead of apologising, the supervisor replied rudely and told the user that such things bound to happen and he is not the first one.
In his post:
“Beware Singapore…
Steel wool mesh was found inside food at blk 147 Serangoon north ave 1 (金味海鲜) inside Choh Dee Place coffee shop..
I got choke by a 5.5 cm stainless steel mesh (see pic) found in my dinner that almost killed me.. I felt a sharp pain in my throat and tried forcing it out but didn’t succeed as it’s hooked and luckily, i managed to pull it out instead. With further consideration, i comforted the store supervisor out of goodwill hoping that they will be more careful but was being treated in an unacceptable manner saying that IT’S BOUND TO HAPPEN… And even worse… She said… YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST ONE… Her attitude was so rude and unprofessional that any food operator should have….
I didn’t demand any compensation at all.. It’s all out of goodwill wanting to remind them to be more careful..but her words are all I’ve got.
Dear all… Do I deserve from her this kind of attitude?
Dear Singaporeans
You be my judge.. Please share to save others… Thank you
Ps: a complaint was made to the Singapore Food Agency & NEA”
A video was recently uploaded to Sg.Trendzz Instagram group showing two YPs sparring at an open space in a residential area.
It is unsure what the reason for the fight. However, it seems like they were having a lot of fun. Another YP who was taking the video was heard laughing and saying “ALL OUT ALL OUT!!”
A video was recently uploaded to Complaint.sg Instagram group showing a YP asking girls to stop chasing after him as he doesn’t wont to get hurt again.

According to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), members of the public who wish to exchange new notes for the upcoming Chinese New Year are required to make an appointment with their local banks (DBS, OCBC and UOB) before visiting the branch.
This announcement was made on 11 Jan 2021 and it is seen as an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 virus among the community.
The appointment can be booked through an online system and each bank would have the details on how to do the booking and the collections as well. However, people who are above the age of 60 or with disabilities were exempt from this requirement.
The pre-ordering of new notes will also be available at foreign banks such as Maybank and Standard Chartered. However, it is not made a must for their customers to use the booking system.
According to her, the company had abused their interns and only give them one day off per week. It is said that the company did not have any full-timers and they had exploited part-timers to keep the company running.
She then mentioned that her sister was recently requested by her boss to work on her off days. When her sister asked for another day to replace her off day, her boss scolded her and told her that she was spoiled and pampered.
Full Story Here:
“Submitting this on behalf of my sis here. She is on her poly internship and tbh, the company is low key abusing their interns. They get one day off per week and even on that day, they are expected to do work at home. When I heard more about this company, I am more certain of that. They don’t have a single full-timer, they exploit these young part-timers. My sister was promised Christmas and New Years Eve off only for the boss to go back on his word and make her come in for work.
Her boss recently arranged for her to come in for work on her off day this week (Monday) and she requested to have Tuesday off instead since they had nothing planned for her and she was told off, scolded for being pampered and spoilt? She isn’t paid for OT either. She works from 10 am and doesn’t get home sometimes until 9 pm.
My sis is afraid of complaining but I feel bad for her. She is afraid that if she complains, her evaluations would be affected and that could pull down her grades. The other interns are treated similarly and I wish we could do something so the poly would stop sending students to a place that exploit these students. There isn’t a labour law protecting interns, but I wonder if there is anywhere we can feedback to solve something like this? (My parents are planning to submit a letter after her evaluations are fixed but would that be ignored?)
A man has recently posted on NUSWhisper Facebook page asking netizens for a recommendation on where he can get a whip.
According to his post, the reason for him to do that is to wake his girlfriend up in the morning. He then mentioned that he will get blamed if he was unable to wake his girlfriend up in the morning.
In his post:
“My GF wants me to wake her up at 9 am in the morning on weekends because she wants to study. I do wake her up but she can’t get up herself, goes back to sleep, and blames me for not being able to force her to wake up.
So I had the idea of buying a whip to whip her awake. Searching for whips on Shopee only led to whipping cream results. Any recommendations on where to buy whips in Singapore? Adult toy shops?”
