Don't be surprised the next time you order from economy rice stalls in Koufu food courts and coffee shops — they will soon feature colour-coded price labels for all their dishes. The Consumers Association of Singapore (Case) and Koufu have partnered to launch colour-coded price labels for their 'cai fan' stalls on Monday (March 24) starting with an outlet in Tengah. The labels will categorise dishes into groups - meat, seafood, vegetables, and premium items - along with their respective prices. Seafood dishes will be labelled blue, meat dishes red, and vegetable dishes green. Premium items, indicated with a white label, have handwritten prices on the tags. The initiative was launched on Monday, March 24, at the Hong Le Mixed Veg Rice stall in Plantation Plaza's Koufu food court by Case president Melvin Yong and Koufu's chief financial officer Chua Sher Lin. It was witnessed by Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling. These colour-coded price labels will be implemented across all economy rice stalls operating in 77 Koufu food courts and coffee shops by end-2025.

SINGAPORE — A bus enthusiast who sexually exploited multiple teenage boys whom he got to know through the hobby community was sentenced to 16 years' jail and 12 strokes of the cane on March 24. Between 2018 and 2022, the man, who is now 25 years old, perpetrated sexual acts against five male victims who were aged between 13 and 21 at the time. He pleaded guilty to four charges: one for raping a 13-year-old and one for sexual exploitation of the same victim; one for sexual assault by penetration involving a 14-year-old; and one for voyeurism committed against a 21-year-old. Seven other charges were taken into consideration during sentencing. The offences came to light when another member of the bus-spotting community, in whom several victims had confided about the sex acts, reported him to the police. There is a gag order on the identities of the victims and the man, who was a warehouse assistant prior to his arrest. Deputy Public Prosecutor Sarah Siaw told the court that in 2017, the man befriended a younger boy who bought bus-themed paraphernalia from him on online marketplace Carousell.
