10 ml 'eye-tightening liquid' for $1,200: Store in Nex accused of hard selling beauty care products to elderly

One man has taken to social media to complain about staff of a beauty shop «disturbing the peace» in Nex with their touting and hard selling tactics. In a Facebook post on the Complaint Singapore group on Friday (Oct 11), Derrick Law said that his 68-year-old mother was pressured by The Mineral Boutique to buy a small bottle of «eye-tightening liquid». Law also accused the store manager of pestering his non-English-speaking mother to reveal her credit card details. «Moreover, Mineral Boutique's products are astronomically expensive and unjustifiable,» he said. «[How] can a 10ml bottle of eye-tightening liquid cost $1,200? »In my experience, an alternative brand costs only less than $150.« The man also pointed out that the shop had a history of »exerting predatory pressure selling and unethical sale tactics on the elderly shoppers". He shared screenshots of complaints from Google Reviews, with more than a dozen customers taking offence with The Mineral Boutique's sale tactics in their Nex and Jewel Changi Airport outlets.

Harmless or nuisance? Yio Chu Kang residents divided over NParks contractors capturing wild chickens in estate

Several residents in Yio Chu Kang are crying fowl over the authorities removing wild chickens in their neighborhood. Others, who are annoyed by the birds crowing at ungodly hours, are happy to see them go. A Facebook video on the Singapore Wildlife Sightings group showed contractors from the National Parks Board (NParks) setting traps at a park along Cactus Road. Kan Shik Kiong, who posted the clip on Thursday (Oct 9), said that the authorities were acting on residents' complaints. The video has since garnered over 300 comments and 37,000 views. Following that, a Shin Min Daily News reporter saw three chickens roaming around the park; however, there were no traps. Several residents living in the vicinity told the Chinese evening daily that the birds are harmless. Tang, 72, the vice-chairman of a neighbourhood committee, said: «These chickens come out at around 7am every day, and fly up to the trees to roost at night. »They are not like monkeys that will enter residential areas, so we don't think it's right to catch them."
