Let’s face it: in this social media world, exciting and viral news like a cat feeding a baby bear would often appear in your Facebook news feed, while important news like the GDP growth of Singapore this year wouldn’t get the same reach.
It’s understandable since social media platforms would prioritise engaging and viral contents to keep users in their platform.
In order to ensure that you’d still know about important news instead just social news, below are the top five Singapore news that was reported yesterday which you should know, simplified for you in a bite-sized format:
19YO Nanyang Polytechnic Student Pleads Guilty To Taking Upskirt Photos
19-year-old Nanyang Polytechnic student Chiang Wei Sheng pleaded guilty in court to three counts of insulting a woman’s modesty.
He first took upskirt photos on 21 March this year of a lady victim who was climbing the stairs in front of him at Jurong East MRT Station. Six days later, he did the same at Singapore Expo to a lady who was going up the escalator.
He was only caught on 9 April at Sembawang MRT Station by a 28-year-old lady who felt something brush against her inner thigh as she was going up the escalator. As she turned, she met face-to-face with Chiang who had his mobile phone under her dress.

Singapore Prison Service Talks About The Gang Renunciation Ceremony That Takes Place In Prison
A gang renunciation ceremony takes place every once in a while in Changi Prison. This ceremony is meant for gang members to sever all ties with all the secret societies they were once a part of.
This isn’t something talked about very often and takes a lot of courage from these gang members as they know that when they give a speech in front of the whole auditorium, some of the other prisoners from the same gang will see them as traitors.

Off-Duty Officer Subdues Man Despite Being Assaulted By Him With Knuckle Duster
22-year-old Sergeant Pang Lin Tong was waiting for a cab back home at 4am on 1 December when he noticed a man chasing a group of men and women with a knuckle duster on his hand.
He approached the man slowly and tried to calm him down, but he kept hurling vulgarities and threatening to hit Sgt Pang. The seemingly intoxicated man then struck Sgt Pang with two punches on the face as he calls out to the rest of the group to call the police.
The man later walks off and Sgt Pang follows him, albeit at a distance. When he was heard calling for backup, the man punches Sgt Pang one more time above his left ear, and that was when he subdued him and revealed himself to be a police officer.
He pinned the attacker to the ground and waited for backup to arrive.
