After dinner with friends in Little India on a Sunday evening, migrant worker Venkatesan was walking to the bus stop along Clive Street when he had an overwhelming urge to use the toilet. With no public toilet in sight and apprehensive about using the washroom at a nearby restaurant, he resorted to urinating in a drain along a dark alley. His experience is not an uncommon one. According to many, the lack of toilet facilities in Little India is a major problem, especially during weekends and festivals. The area gets notably crowded on Sunday, when migrant workers have their day off and shoppers descend on Mustafa Centre in Syed Alwi Road. Crowds tend to gather as well at the open spaces in Tekka Lane and Lembu Road. Yousuf Rajid, a resident in Buffalo Road, expressed in Tamil a sentiment shared by many: «One side of the carpark at Tekka Centre has become like a public toilet. I can't walk that way ever; the smell of urine is unbearable.» The same problem, according to other residents, also persists at residential estates in Klang Lane and Rowell Road.
Weddings are often hectic events, but a good set of bridesmaids and groomsmen can go a long way to lessen the load on a couple. However, one woman took to the AskSingapore subreddit recently to share the «terrible experience» she had at her first experience as a bridesmaid, which had her wondering if local weddings were becoming too transactional. In her Reddit post from Nov 26, she recounted that the bridesmaids arrived between 5 to 6 am at the bride's house to play the «gatecrashing» games and then returned prior to the dinner ceremony to help put up the displays, do guest registrations and collect red packets from them. However, she listed three «worst» parts of her experience: «1. The groom gave the gate crash red packets for show, and the couple took back all red packets after the morning session. »2. We had to pay for the bridesmaid dresses ourselves. «3. We only got a total of $100 in red packets from them, which was not enough to cover dresses, transport.»
An online debate has erupted over a Grab driver and a prospective passenger, with users arguing over who was in the right. A screenshot of their conversation, captioned as highlighting the «rude driver» with a «bad attitude», circulated on Facebook before being deleted on Nov 28. The screenshot showed the passenger requesting a ride for two people, one in a wheelchair, for a fare of just $5.70. The driver retorted, «$5.70 ask Grab CEO to take you.» Many netizens sided with the driver, pointing out the passenger had booked a JustGrab service, which simply assigns the nearest available vehicle. For wheelchair assistance, Grab offers GrabAssist, a service staffed by drivers trained by the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC). Responding to Mothership's queries, a Grab spokesperson apologised for the incident and confirmed the driver received a warning, citing it as a first offence. Grab also advised riders to book the appropriate service for their needs and reminded both drivers and passengers to treat each other respectfully.

SINGAPORE — When told by a «police officer» that she might be implicated in money laundering, a woman feared she would be dragged into the $3 billion case. Wanting to be known only as Grace, the retiree, 67, said that even though she was never involved in crime, she thought about Singapore's biggest money laundering case that saw 10 foreigners jailed and deported. Threatened with legal action, she agreed to help in «investigations» and transferred a total of $1.19 million to people claiming to be a bank officer, police investigator and public prosecutors. And even after she talked to real police officers, she said she still does not want to know how much she has lost. Grace spoke to the media on Nov 28. Before the interview, organised by the police, reporters were briefed by officers that she did not know the full amount, and did not want to know. Grace told reporters she had no intention of telling her husband or family members. She said: «Even when I was giving my statement to the police, I said I don't want to know how much I've lost. Even until today, I didn't really look into it.»
SINGAPORE — Over the past 12 years, Kim Vivian has completed at least 50 marathon courses. But instead of running, the Australian travels these routes on his bicycle. The 60-year-old is not your typical marathon runner; he is a course measurer who clocks many hours and kilometres, determining the length and course of various races around the world. A month before the Nov 29-Dec 1 Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM), the Perth native was in the Republic, working the course in the sweltering heat. Explaining the significance of his role, Vivian said: «All the events that I measure, all the courses, then get registered on an international database. »Then anybody can use my events to then qualify for (events like) the Boston or New York Marathon, which have got qualifying times, because they are recognised international quality events." This complex process begins with Vivian using Google Maps to measure the route, before he gets to work on the actual courses in the respective countries. One of the first things Vivan does in Singapore is setting up a calibration course, which is typically 300 metres long.
