A 'robbery' recently occurred at Ngee Ann Polytechnic in broad daylight. The brazen perpetrator? A monkey. «I was walking when the money came out of nowhere and snatched my phone out of my hands,» said a student about the 'crime' that happened on campus. «I waited one to two minutes to see if he'll give it back, but he just kept playing with my phone and took off my casing by biting it. It even paused my music.» An Instagram video shared by Sgfollowsall on Friday (July 26) showed a student staring down at the animal. «After a while it got scared when I moved a bit, and tried to scare me off which made it drop my phone,» he said in the captions. «So I scared it back further away from my phone until it was far away and that's how I got it back.» The video has since garnered over 80,000 views. In the comments, netizens were tickled by the monkey encounter. «Probably developing the concept of barter,» a netizen said. «Relax, it just want to scroll TikTok and upload some content,» another added. AsiaOne has contacted the student for more information.

SINGAPORE – For occupational therapist Dawn Lim, 33, it was a “no-brainer” decision to register her children’s race as Indian-Chinese. Ms Lim, who is Chinese, is married to Mr Balaji Prem Chand, a 35-year-old physiotherapist who is Indian by race. They have three children – Kiaan Lucas Chand, four; Jaanya Elise Chand, two; and Ishaan Evan Chand, who is one month old. Ms Lim said: “It’s a no-brainer to choose the double-barrelled option so we can reflect both our races. It’s only fair to represent both races, instead of choosing one.” Like her, more mixed-race couples have chosen to register their children’s birth with a double-barrelled race, such as Chinese-Malay or Malay-Indian. A total of 2,326 babies of mixed parentage had a double-barrelled race in 2023, more than double the 1,067 such babies in 2014. Of babies whose parents are of different races, 28.4 per cent of them had a double-barrelled race in 2023, up from 12.9 per cent in 2014. Such data was presented for the first time in the Report on Registration of Births and Deaths 2023 published by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) on July 11.
