Most people would squirm or even run away at the sight of rats. But not these four kids, who were caught on camera picking up and playing with a rat at a playground in Bedok South. The video, accompanied by photos, were posted on Facebook group Complaint Singapore by user Michael Wong on Wednesday (May 8), and caused safety concerns among netizens. In the video, the boys, who look to be in school uniform, are playing at the playground when they spot the rodent. They take turns to use their slippers as «gloves» to hold the rat, even running around and going on the playground slide while doing so. In one photo, one of the boys is seen holding the rat with his bare hands. In the post, Wong said he had given feedback to the East Coast Town Council about two weeks ago regarding a «rat issue» but had not received a response. Some netizens who saw Wong's post expressed concern for the boys, saying that rats carry numerous diseases and handling them improperly could be a hazard. One wrote: «Poor kids have no idea how dangerous it is. Later [if they] forget to wash hand, and go take food, good luck!»

Minister for Home Affairs and Law K Shanmugam has called out anti-death penalty activists for spreading misinformation and helping death row inmates «abuse» legal processes.  During his ministerial statement in Parliament today (May 8) on Singapore's drug control policy, Shanmugam also criticised anti-death penalty activists for painting a one-sided image of convicted drug traffickers to mislead the public.  «They publish videos, pictures, stories from the trafficker’s childhood, sharing interviews with family members... portraying the trafficker as a victim of unfortunate circumstances.»  However, these stories omit the realities of the harms these traffickers have caused to the victims of drug abuse, he said. During his statement, the home affairs minister brought up several cases where innocent victims were harmed by drug abusers, such as a man who fatally stabbed his mother and punched his grandmother to death while under the influence of drugs.
