Colossal durians and satay skewers: Neighbourhoods serve up a feast with art installations in community-driven initiative

SINGAPORE — Gigantic durians, towering cendol cups, colossal noodles and enormous grilled satay skewers will be on display around Singapore's neighbourhoods from December. The first-of-its-kind, community-driven arts initiative will see seven neighbourhoods showcasing upsized food-themed installations in December, with each work of art reflecting the distinct character and heritage of the area. Another seven neighbourhoods will join in a month later. In all, the 14 Giant Delight installations will involve 19 artists and an estimated 1,400 residents. The residents are led by their respective Community Arts & Culture Clubs (CACCs), which comprise volunteers who champion and implement arts and culture programmes in their community. Besides those who regularly participate in CACC activities, the other participating residents were recruited through social media and word of mouth. Some of these installations will be featured at the PAssionArts Street in Chingay 2025 on Feb 7 and 8.

Beware of text messages asking to renew 'PayNow certificate'

Text messages directing recipients to a fake PayNow website is the latest phishing scam variant to emerge, said the police on Friday (Dec 13). Victims would receive a text message stating their PayNow «certificate» is expiring soon, and that it must be renewed via the linked website to maintain usage of the services. The fake website would require the victim to key in their credit card details and other personal details such as billing address, name and date of birth. In their statement, the police said that PayNow does not have a website which allows one to key in personal and credit card details. Users should only provide details to PayNow through the banks' official sites or applications. «PayNow does not issue any digital certificates to members of public,» added the police. «If in doubt, PayNow users can contact your respective banks through their official hotlines for assistance.» Members of the public can report such scams to the police at 1800-255-0000 or submit an online report at www.police.gov.sg/i-witness.

SFA investigating after bird seen feeding on shark nuggets at Tiong Bahru Market stall

The Lor Mee 178 stall at Tiong Bahru Market is known for its crispy shark meat nuggets – which even birds cannot seem to resist. Stomp contributor Mantou spotted a mynah helping itself to the fried fish at the Seng Poh Road stall on the morning of Dec 7. He shared a video showing the bird standing on and pecking at the nuggets, which were placed in trays and left uncovered at the stall. Mantou said: «We found the bird munching on the fried shark nuggets. When informed, the lady boss just shrugged it off.» However, the stall refuted this. They told Stomp that they had promptly chased the birds away and disposed of the affected trays of food. In response to a Stomp query, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) said it is investigating. «Food safety is a joint responsibility,» the agency added. «While SFA puts in place and enforces the regulatory measures, food operators must play their part by adhering to good food hygiene and preparation practices. Food operators should also ensure their premises are clean and well-maintained.»
