The incident occurred at HarbourFront Centre on Sunday (May 4) at about 2pm, according to the mall's management Mapletree.

SINGAPORE — The strong mandate Singaporeans gave Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on May 3 settles a leadership succession that began more than a decade ago, said political analysts. The PAP's 65.57 per cent national vote share is also an endorsement of PM Wong's call for voters to return his experienced ministers while he injects new blood into the Government, and all eyes are now on who will be in the Cabinet, they added. «The process of political succession from the third prime minister to the fourth prime minister of Singapore — that spanned from 2011 from (Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong's) first mention of the intent to 2025 — is indeed now complete,» said Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) senior research fellow Gillian Koh. Observers such as political scientist Walid Jumblatt Abdullah said how Singaporeans voted means PM Wong has wide latitude to shape his Cabinet: Not only was the PAP's result improved from the last election, he also improved his vote share on his home turf of Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, while Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong prevailed in a hot contest in Punggol GRC.
