When Pearl Pegram found out that she wouldn't be able to attend the National Day Parade (NDP) National Education (NE) show as a Primary 5 student back in 2020, she was disappointed. «I was let down because that was one of the things I was looking forward to during the school year,» the Secondary 3 student from North Vista Secondary School said. This year, the 15-year-old girl as well as those who missed out on the NE shows during the Covid-19 pandemic finally got the chance to catch the performances. At the second NE show on Saturday (July 6), Pegram sat at the Padang with her friends, soaking in the atmosphere. Speaking to AsiaOne before the show started, Pegram said that she was looking forward to spending time with her friends at the NE Show despite the heat that day. «It's like a make-up for the time I couldn't watch the show,» she added. Although she was there with her friends, she wouldn't mind watching the show with her family, either. «[The show] gives us an opportunity to bond with our family and celebrate Singapore's birthday.»

$5.10 might seem a reasonable price for a bowl of fish soup these days, but what if that portion comes with less than four slices of fish? That was the situation encountered by one disgruntled customer. In a Facebook post on Complaint Singapore, user Yong Tow Hu described how he'd ordered a meal at the Koufu food court located within Singapore General Hospital on Thursday (July 4). He shared that he'd ordered a small bowl priced at $5.10 instead of the $7.50 option as he'd never patronised the stall before. He was then allegedly met with a reply from an unhappy-looking stall assistant that «for $5.10, there are very few slices of fish». The customer then retorted: «So be it, I want to see just how few there are!'» In his post, Yong stated that he later took photos of the «three and a half slices of fish» in his bowl. Seeing this, the stall assistant allegedly rushed over to remind him of how she'd warned him beforehand about the portion size.
