The owner of a fried oyster omelette stall listed in the Singapore Michelin Guide has clarified that the small portion size of their cheapest option is in consideration of elderly customers. On Monday (Sept 16), a netizen took to the Complaint Singapore Facebook group and compared the size of the $5 dish from Huat Heng Fried Oyster in Whampoa Makan Place to «leftovers». «I have no intention to boycott this outlet,» wrote the user. «I strongly understand F&B [industry], I personally think is too much.» The second-generation owner of Huat Heng Fried Oyster told Shin Min Daily News that the Facebook user had returned to enquire about the portion size of his meal after it was served. «He was drinking with five or six other people at the time. Such a small amount would definitely not be enough for them,» said the female hawker, who declined to be named. The stall sells oyster omelette at three price points: $5, $8 and $10. The $5 option is specially designed for seniors as they have smaller appetites, she explained.

SINGAPORE — A Singaporean national who lives in the United States was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents over a conspiracy to steal and launder more than US$230 million (S$297 million) in cryptocurrency. Malone Lam, 20, was charged in a US district court in southern Florida on Sept 19, according to a press release from the US Department of Justice (DOJ). Also facing charges is Lam's alleged co-conspirator Jeandiel Serrano. The 21-year-old appeared in a district court in California on the same day. The two men each face one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to launder monetary instruments. Lam, who splits his time between Miami and Los Angeles, uses the online monikers «Anne Hathaway» and «$$$», while Serrano uses the names «VersaceGod» and «@SkidStar», said the release. According to the indictment, Lam, Serrano and their conspirators contacted a victim in Washington DC on Aug 18 and fraudulently obtained over 4,100 bitcoin, which was worth over US$230 million at the time.

Grabbing their peers' posteriors for a laugh, vandalising school and public properties, vaping and brawling were allegedly par for the course for the teens in the 2023 bullying video that has been making the rounds. In the TikTok video that was uploaded on Sept 15 but has since been removed, at least five teenagers who appear to be wearing Bukit View Secondary School uniform are seen surrounding a smaller boy with a backpack at the void deck of a Housing Board flat. The teens appear to be laughing at the boy before one of them grabs the his backpack and kicks him in the back, sending him sprawling to the ground. Unfortunately, the bullying seen in the video was allegedly common for the teens in the video. «They would even threaten or insult the teachers,» their ex-schoolmate told TNP. «They also got into fights outside school and bullied others in real life as well as online, sending sexually explicit stickers over WhatsApp.» Although he felt sorry for the victims, the teen who was in the same cohort as the bullies was too scared to intervene.
