It wasn't just the police that brought him down, but also a concerted effort by other drivers on the road. A driver was caught after he attempted to ram his way through traffic to escape the police in Admiralty, as seen in a video posted to Facebook group SG Road Vigilante on Tuesday (May 28). The video begins with a man in grey going up to multiple vehicles stopped at a traffic light, instructing them not to drive off when the light turns green. In doing so, the drivers and their vehicles lock a dark-coloured car in, preventing it from taking off. According to the post by SG Road Vigilante, the trapped driver had allegedly used a fake license plate. The man then tries to confront the driver, who makes multiple attempts to reverse out of the box and drive away, nearly running the man over in the process. Unable to escape, the driver then tries to brute-force his way out of the situation, ramming his vehicle into the gap between a lorry and truck on the right. Just as he does, however, officers dash up from behind, trying to get the vehicle to stop.

A symposium to determine what marine research is being done in the Seychelles' waters was held recently in the island nation with the participation of a large number of scientists from around the world. The Seychelles Marine Science Symposium - an initiative of the Blue Economy Research Institute at the University of Seychelles (UniSey)- took place from May 22 to 24. According to a senior lecturer and researcher at the institution, Dr Murray Duncan, the scientists got to network and discuss their work on maritime research. Seychelles is an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean with an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 1.4 million square kilometres of which only 455 square kilometres is land. The island nation's EEZ is slightly larger than South Africa and about six times the size of the United Kingdom. «Because there are so many actors spread over such a large area often it is not well coordinated and there is a lack of collaborations sometimes,» said Duncan. He added that two experts might be working on the same research techniques and operating independently, and have never been in that area together to network and collaborate. Through the symposium, «different researchers in Seychelles got together in one place and built collaborations and made our research better,» said Duncan. More than 200 delegates from 18 countries and 83 different organisations, attended the event which included special scientific sessions organised by the Ocean Project on plastic pollution and SWIOFISH 3. Also attending were non-governmental organisations in the Seychelles related to the ocean such as the Save Our Seas Foundation (SOSF) and Marine Conservation Society Seychelles (MCSS). The symposium was held under the theme: «A scientific glimpse into the past, present and future.» It included 66 presentations, 31 poster presentations and four keynote addresses and ended with a public science exhibition.

Some Tampines residents have been losing sleep over a flock of noisy chickens in a neighbourhood park. Two residents told Shin Min Daily News that chickens in Sun Plaza Park at Tampines Avenue 7 have been crowing early in the morning nearly every day and disrupting their sleep. A search on Google Maps shows there are about eight blocks of HDB flats in close proximity to the park. One frustrated resident surnamed Chen, 38, told the Chinese daily that he hears the chickens crowing at about 5am, and the problem started in December 2022. «I grew up in the neighbourhood and there was never such a problem in the past. I believe the wild chickens are reproducing too much.»  Another 70-year-old resident, surnamed Ji, said that she is often woken by the chickens crowing at about 4.45am and is unable to fall back asleep amid the constant noise. «I can't sleep any longer, and it's like this every day. I usually get up at 6am because my granddaughter has to go to school,» she added.

«Dangerous and unpredictable» - that's how this landlord referred to her tenant after he purportedly left them a 'parting gift' - cut wires, damaged furniture and a room filled with trash. Now, this landlord, who only gave her name as Jade, has requested in a post on Instagram on Monday (May 27) that the public contact her if they happen to see her former tenant, a 35-year-old Chinese male. According to her, she had let the room to the Singaporean, who works as an electrician, last May, with the contract ending on May 29 this year. She didn't reveal in her posts which estate she lives in.  However, Jade's grandmother didn't want to extend the contract with him. On Monday, the tenant had left his room, locking it behind him, and Jade's grandmother had to call a neighbour in to break open the door after he failed to return the keys, she said in her post. They were horrified to find the room in a state of complete disarray - trash was strewn all across the floor, piling high up in corners, covering much of the room. While the desk and mattress were relatively clear of garbage, the tenant had also left a chair lying on the bed.

One parent has hit out at an English assessment book for providing a «model composition» about a murder that she thought was too graphic for primary school-aged children.  Taking to Facebook on Sunday (May 26), the social media user said that the book, Model Compositions Primary 5/6, is not suitable for children to read as it contained a particularly gruesome murder scene.  A photo of a page from the book described a couple locked in an «intense and loud argument» at home. Phrases such as «plunged the knife into her throat», «lots of blood» and «jumped to his death from his twelfth storey flat» were also used. «There's a story of [someone] witnessing a murder, with clear explanation on the murder itself, which is very appalling,» the parent said. The post on the Complaint Singapore page has since garnered over 94 reactions. In the comments, some netizens were concerned by the language used in the book. «Imprinting on young impressionable children to be future killers? Or giving trauma to young children? Either way, this book should be banned,» one of them said.
