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 content to keep users in their platform. In order to ensure that you’d still know about important news instead of 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: 48YO Australian Man Charged With Alleged Murder Of Wife In Buangkok Condominium A 43-year-old lady was found unresponsive in her apartment in Esparina Residences, a condominium in Buangkok, on Friday at around 12.07pm. A 48-year-old man by the name of Paul Leslie Quirk was subsequently arrested and charged for the murder of his wife. The couple was seen arguing for more than 15 minutes that day at around 11am in their third-storey balcony. The commotion attracted the attention of other residents. Some residents also said that Quirk was seen throwing a dog over the balcony onto the pavement ground, killing it. If convicted of murder, Quirk will be sentenced to the death penalty.

Car Catches Fire While Parked At Choa Chu Kang Multi-Storey Carpark; Affects At Least 2 Other Cars In the early morning of Saturday, a car that was parked in a multi-storey carpark in Choa Chu Kang caught fire. As the fire was quite huge, it caused some of the cement infrastructure to be damaged and fall to the ground. Some debris also fell onto a neighbouring BMW. One of the cars had its hood propped open and it was burned so badly that the metal casing was pretty much gone. The Singapore Civil Defence Force responded to the fire and put it out with two water jets and two compressed air-foam backpacks. For more info, tap here. Private Hospitals Now Have To Draw Patient's Blood Samples Twice The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has just made it a requirement for all private hospitals to draw two separate blood samples from patients so as to eliminate the error of labelling the blood samples wrongly and to improve patient safety. The reason for this is that the potential for the error of identifying the wrong blood type is high. This leads to the transfusion of incompatible blood to the patient, which will then cause severe complications including death. The second blood sample has to be taken at a different session from the first so as to act as a buffer confirmation, ensuring that the chances of labelling the wrong blood type will be lower.

Government Orders AHTC To Strip Authorities Of WP MPs Low Thia Kiang & Sylvia Lim For Certain Financial Matters The government has just issued an order for the Worker's Party-run Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC) to strip the authorities of two of its town councillors, Mr Low Thia Kiang and Ms Sylvia Lim, for certain financial matters, such as unilaterally approving or incurring expenditure, or accepting or waiving any contracts for stores, services, or works, and serving as cheque signatories on behalf of AHTC. This order was issued to prevent the both of them from causing any more irregularities and came after the High Court found that Mr Low Thia Kiang and Ms Sylvia Lim had breached their fiduciary duties to the AHTC and had acted dishonestly.
