A toddler suffered a cut after she was struck on the head by a falling item in Sengkang on Tuesday (Dec 24). In a note addressed to Rivervale Shores residents, a person who appears to be the girl's parent, described how a metal object «flew out of nowhere» and hit the two-year-old at the Riverdale Shores playground. This left the girl bleeding from the head. «There was no one else at the playground at the time so it could have been high-rise litter. We have lodged a police report and they are investigating [the incident].» The social media post on Sgfollowsall.backup was to remind everyone to be careful, especially children, the parent explained.

SINGAPORE - The third executive who was fired by Singapore Post on Dec 21 following investigations over a whistle-blower’s report will contest his termination, saying the move is undue, unfair and without merit. In a statement posted on LinkedIn on Dec 24, Mr Li Yu, the former chief executive of the SingPost international business unit involved in a data falsification case, said he will contest the termination of his employment, the alleged reasons for the decision and the disciplinary proceedings. “I will seek to enforce my legal rights and vindicate my personal reputation,” he wrote. “I disagree with the alleged reasons given and will robustly defend my position in the proper forum.” Mr Yu, group CEO Vincent Phang and group chief financial officer Vincent Yik were sacked with immediate effect on Dec 21 after investigations stemming from a whistle-blower’s report sent to SingPost and the Infocomm Media and Development Authority in February were concluded. The report was not disclosed to shareholders until December 2024.
