After completing a job at a condominium apartment, an air-con technician found that his van had been wheel-clamped at the car park. It turned out that he had unwittingly parked in a lot meant for residents. The 50-year-old, surnamed Lin, had to fork out $272 to get his vehicle released, reported Shin Min Daily News. But Lin said he genuinely thought he had parked at a visitor's lot and blamed his mistake on the «misleading» car park signage. The incident occurred around noon last Friday (June 7) at D'Leedon condo along Farrer Road. When he was at the car park, Lin said he noticed two pillars painted in purple with the word 'visitor'. He parked his van in the lot on the right side of one of the pillars. But when he returned to the car park around 45 minutes later, the vehicle had been wheel-clamped. He was told that he had parked in the space reserved for residents. Lin headed to the management office and was reportedly told that visitors can only use the parking lots marked out with purple grid lines.

Lions goalkeeper Hassan Sunny's nasi padang stall drew large crowds and numerous five-star reviews from Chinese football fans following his performance in Singapore's World Cup qualifier match against Thailand on Tuesday (June 11). Thailand needed to win with a three-goal margin to make it to the final round of Asia's qualifiers. It clinched the match, but the 3-1 score was not enough to stop second-placed China from advancing to the next stage. Chinese fans attributed China's progress to Hassan's heroics in the match, where he chalked up 11 saves, as well as Iksan Fandi's goal. The 40-year-old was lauded by the fans as a hero and trended on Chinese social media. In Singapore, they flocked to his stall, Dapur Hassan, at a coffee shop in Block 144 Tampines Street 12. Pictures posted by multiple users on Xiaohongshu on Wednesday showed long queues. Some Chinese football fans also snapped pictures with the stall's green signboard. «The saviour of the Chinese national football team, the Singaporean goalkeeper who sells nasi lemak has become famous,» wrote one netizen who patronised the stall.
