If you remember, The Real Singapore created a big hoo-ha when the Singapore government went after them back in 2015.

Then the founders went to jail and serve time. Case closed.

Or is it?

Here’s what he said, and the other topics that Singaporeans are talking about today.

TRS Founder Unhappy That Others Say He Spread Fake News Deliberately For Money

Everyone knows The Real Singapore, right?

The website that published seditious articles that “incite anti-foreigner sentiments in Singapore, and deliberately fabricated articles and falsely attributed them to innocent parties”.

The website was shut down and the founders sent packing to jail.

After being released from prison, the couple opened a ramen shop and proceeded to live their normal lives.

Until the Public Policy Forum (PPF) brought them up again in their report against Human Rights Watch group.

Yang Kaiheng, one of the founders of now-defunct TRS was upset with PPF. Or more specifically, the accusation that they deliberately spread online falsehoods for money.

And as expected, netizens were not sympathetic at all.

Huh, interesting.

Anyway, you can now check them out at Takagi Ramen Shop. Reviews online have been great, so maybe the shutting down of the website is a good thing for them after all: it created a much better path for the couple.

Jurong Lake Garden To Get New Look, Including Boat Rides

Westies might not have chalets and Wild Wild Wet, but we have this:

Guess what? It’s going to get even better.

Part of the government’s initiative to create the next national garden in the heartlands, the government unveiled several exciting new features.

Largest water lily collection in Singapore

The garden will feature more than 140 varieties of water lilies and visitors will be able to get up close and personal with the plants.

Water Boat Rides on Water Trail

Who needs River Safari when you can ride a boat right in your own backyard?

Plenty of Public Spaces

So you can picnic, chill and do all sorts of things.

And the best part? NParks announced that they’ll be retaining the iconic Chinese buildings and architecture because it holds a lot of memories for Singaporeans.

The western part of the garden will be open to public early next year.

There is a public exhibition about the new garden held at Taman Jurong Community Club from 25 Mar to 1 Apr.

And you can give suggestions for the new garden at the exhibition there as well.

M’sian Woman Who Abused Maid With Knife & Steel Mob Found By M’sian Police

In case you’re unaware, a huge case was brewing in Malaysia over the past week.

An abuse case, to be exact.

Then 19-year-old Indonesian maid, Suyanti Sutrinso, was assaulted by her employer, Datin Rozita Mohamad Ali, with a knife, steel mop and an umbrella.

Her sentence for the crime: a five-year good behaviour bond of RM20,000 (S$13,437). Yup, no jail time.

As expected, the public isn’t happy.

50,000 signed a petition and her sentence was brought to court to be reviewed again.

By then, she and her bailor, an official from the Royal Malaysian Air Force, could not be found.

The latest update found that the Royal Malaysian Police managed to get in touch with the woman’s lawyer and that she has until 29 Mar to appear in court.

Heros can come from all walks of life, and the latest one happened to come out from an eyebrow tattoo shop.

It was reported that in Bangkok, a woman, Kanyarat Dew Chaichan, went to get an eyebrow tattoo and got the ugliest ones she ever saw in her life.

She posted about her experience online and caught the attention of Vilailak Nan Sundantom, an eyebrow tattoo artist.

Vilailak offered to do the corrective work for free when she realised the woman wasn’t able to raise the money for it.

SPF Arrest 102 People in 9 Day Operation at Geylang

There’s a reason why Singapore is a safe country, one of which is the fact that our SPF is super efficient.

So it shouldn’t come as too big a surprise when it’s announced that they arrested 102 people in Geylang, over the period of 9 days.

Yeah, 102 people.

Three were arrested for selling contraband cigarettes. Another 76 were arrested for offences relating to drugs, immigration violations, gambling, possession of weapons and for using criminal force against a public servant.

And 23 women who took part in vice activities.

Moral of the story: Crime doesn’t pay. At least not in Singapore lah.

Parents in China Send Their Toddlers To Golf & Leadership Classes

We all want the best for our kids, and we’re more than willing to give them the best that we can.

And that’s exactly what some parents in Guangzhou, China, is doing.

From shaking hands confidently and introducing yourself…

To playing golf.

And they’re paying sky-high prices for these lessons.

But there’s one thing you can learn from these parents: Success isn’t all about book-smarts. It’s also about Emotional Quotient or EQ.

Now, we’re not saying you need to spend thousands of dollars per month on that kind of lessons on your kids.

But hey, maybe instead of spoiling them silly, or sending them to tuition centres, you might want to focus on soft skills instead.

Getting Flu From Flights: Here’s The Seat That’ll Lower Your Chances

We love flying, but when you cramp hundreds of passengers into a metal contraption for hours, there are bound to be problems.

From fights to farts, and fights that started from farts, all sorts of things can happen on a flight.

Especially illnesses.

But airplane experts have revealed the top secret to not getting sick, and it’s all about where you sit.

As long as you sit more than 1 metre away from the infected person, and practise really, really good hygiene, you’ll have a lower chance of infection.

In other words, sit at a place which sees the least amount of movement and closest to the least amount of people.

Yup, we’re talking about the window seat.

Great view and less chance of getting sick? Sounds like a good deal.

Just make sure you empty your bladder and stomach before you board lah, because trying to get to the toilet is going to make a lot of people mad at you.

Cue fight.
