SINGAPORE — When stay-at-home mum Clara Tan walked into a quiet and spacious fourth-floor nursing room in Isetan Scotts, she thought it was the perfect place to feed her three-month-old daughter until she noticed the mould on the wall. She realised mould on the wall was not the only problem when she stopped to take a photograph of her baby and herself, and faced the mirror. In a post on social media platform TikTok on Aug 23, the 29-year-old said: «To my horror, I noticed that the walls were heavily covered in mould. And it wasn't just the walls — even the chairs and baby chairs were affected.» Concerned for other nursing mothers and babies who might use the room, Tan put up the photos on TikTok. The photos show many seating areas in the room, as well as two nursing cubicles, diaper changing tables, baby chairs and a washing area. Black spots can be seen covering large parts of the wall. The photos drew comments from numerous TikTok users. One, with the handle oofibrawl, said: «Nursing/changing areas need more attention from shopping mall managements, otherwise don't have them at all.»

SINGAPORE – A woman who fabricated a story about suffering a miscarriage at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) and the founder of alternative news site Wake Up, Singapore (WUSG) who published the false account were both fined by a district court on Aug 26. Ma Su Nandar Htwe, a 28-year-old Myanmar national and Singapore permanent resident, and WUSG’s founder Ariffin Iskandar Sha Ali Akbar, a 27-year-old Singaporean, each pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal defamation. Ma Su Nandar Htwe, who admitted to submitting the fake story because she “wanted drama”, was fined $10,000. Ariffin was fined $8,000. He published the story just 20 minutes after e-mailing KKH, before the hospital could reply. The court heard that Ma Su Nandar Htwe sent the false account to WUSG’s Instagram account on March 21, 2022. In it, she claimed she tested positive for Covid-19 in February 2022 when she was 20 weeks’ pregnant. She claimed she arrived at KKH at 2pm that day and started bleeding from her vagina at about 5pm. She said she could see a doctor only at 6pm and he told her: “No need ultrasound, the baby is probably dead, this is too much bleeding.”
