SINGAPORE — A 15-year-old secondary school student was taken to hospital after two schoolmates, who accused her of sharing a video of their friend vaping in a school toilet, allegedly assaulted her. The incident took place after the students were dismissed early from school on Aug 29, the eve of Teachers' Day. The student told The Straits Times that as she was walking home with a friend after leaving school at around 10.40am that day, they were stopped by a fellow student who asked them to go to a nearby void deck, where they found a group of their schoolmates waiting for them. She said they demanded to see her mobile phone, and when she refused to hand it over, they seized it. About 10 people from the group then dragged the student and her friend to a multi-storey carpark, where she was slapped multiple times by one female schoolmate after refusing to unlock her phone. The teenager said her friend left the carpark after being told by the group to leave.
It's common for parents to get frustrated when teaching or tutoring their child, but one woman has drawn flak from netizens for vulgarly reprimanding a girl in a public space. Taking to TikTok on Saturday (Aug 31), a parent who only wanted to be known as Mrs Lu shared a two-minute-long clip of a mother telling off her daughter while teaching her math, deeming it «mental and verbal abuse». The 44-year-old tertiary lecturer told AsiaOne the incident occurred at a rest area in Buangkok Community Club on Friday evening. In the video, the woman can be heard telling the child: «You better use your brain. If your brain never wake up, you better tell me... I help your brain to wake up (sic).» When the girl later appears to answer a question wrongly, the woman, who was initially calm at the beginning, becomes agitated. «I'm going to tell the whole world you're very f****** stupid,» she says, to which the child supposedly replies «okay». «I'm angry now... You want to piss me off right?» the woman continues. «You tired not my f****** problem okay. I don't give a damn (sic).»

In a post made on Facebook group Singapore Road Vigilante on Saturday (Aug 31), user Aaron Goh recounted his experience with car-sharing platform GetGo. He said he had rented a Honda from the platform on Aug 22 and went to collect it from a car park for what he «assumed would be a smooth drive», he wrote. GetGo told AsiaOne that the incident took place at a car park in Ang Mo Kio. As he began to drive the car out of the parking lot however, Goh noticed something was «terribly wrong».

In an attempt to regain control of the car, Goh said that he applied the handbrake and shifted it into park mode. However, the car did not stop and collided with a vehicle parked opposite it.

The exchange rate for Malaysian ringgit has dipped recently, but that hasn't stopped money changers in Singapore from raking it in. Over the weekend, the ringgit was trading at between RM3.28 and RM3.30 per Singapore dollar, reported Shin Min Daily News. Money changers at Chinatown and Raffles Place were selling ringgit at a rate of 3.29 to 3.295. As of Monday (Sept 2), the exchange rate is RM3.31 to S$1. Huang Suzhen, a partner of Crante Money Changer at People's Park, told the Chinese daily that she did not notice a drop in business despite the stronger ringgit. She attributed it to Malaysia's National Day (Aug 31) as well as the September school holidays. «People will start exchanging money closer to the holiday period. I started stocking up on ringgit last Wednesday and Thursday, and I managed to sell 30 per cent more ringgit than usual,» she said. «I'm selling about RM30,000 to RM 40,000 every day.»
