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: 10 New COVID-19 Cases Confirmed 10 more COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in Singapore, bringing our national total number of people infected to 160. Six of the new cases are linked to the Safra Jurong cluster, and with 36 cases linked to it in total, it is currently Singapore's largest COVID-19 cluster.

NParks hopes to have more therapeutic gardens in Singapore, with their main target of bringing these kinds of gardens to six more parks this year, namely Sembawang Park, Yishun Pond Park, Punggol Waterway Park, Pasir Ris Park, Bedok Reservoir Park, and Jurong Lake Gardens.
