A man suffered an injury on his head after brawling with a fellow passenger on an MRT train last Saturday (June 1) morning. The scuffle broke out as the North East Line train was travelling from Kovan to Serangoon, reported Shin Min Daily News. An eyewitness surnamed Chen recounted: «It all happened so suddenly. There was no movement in the train carriage and no quarrelling sounds, but the two men suddenly started fighting.» In a 23-second clip of the altercation taken by her, a man in an orange T-shirt pushes another man dressed in grey and carrying a backpack against the train door. The latter retaliates with a punch and both men start throwing fists. As they stumble to the floor, another passenger in a black T-shirt steps in between the men to break up the melee, shouting for them to stop. He holds the man in grey in a headlock and drags him away. The man in orange gets up, blood trickling down the side of his head. Splatters of blood can also be seen on the carriage floor. Throughout the altercation, a girl can be heard crying in the background.
SINGAPORE — Could power plants on Jurong Island influence temperatures on the mainland? To what extent will electric vehicles and tree cover reduce urban heat in a neighbourhood like Tengah? These are some questions urban planners may have as they aim to cool down cramped, urban areas that can be up to 7 deg C hotter than less built-up areas — due to the urban heat island effect. Instead of doing time-consuming experiments or projects to get their answers, the authorities can soon test them through the virtual world, much like playing a video game. Over the last four years, more than 20 researchers have built a «digital twin» of Singapore that allows users to simulate scenarios to figure out how to make living spaces more thermally comfortable for people. This virtual system, known as the Digital Urban Climate Twin, is one of the flagship projects under the multi-institute Cooling Singapore 2.0 research initiative, which is developing solutions to address the urban heat problem in Singapore.
These men have taken on the noble duty of serving their country - and they're doing so in style. Netizens have gone ga-ga over some of the military delegates who attended the recent Shangri-La Dialogue 2024 and posed for the camera in a video uploaded to the Ministry of Defence's TikTok account last Saturday (June 1). The post has gone viral, earning over 1.1 million views and more than 104,500 likes. «I'm looking for a man in defence,» says a woman as the video begins - and those men in uniform certainly weren't sparse at the dialogue. The first military man, from Oman, simply smiles and nods at the camera. He dons a red beret with a light brown military dress tunic that also features a gold aiguillette - a braided loop hanging from his shoulder. Representing New Zealand, a military personnel dressed in a similar albeit dark blue outfit turns to face the camera, sporting a slight frown and quizzical look.
