A 44-year-old Singaporean man pleaded guilty to rashly causing a flat fire after suffering from a delusional disorder, thinking his upstairs neighbour was attacking him.

Liu Zheyuan pleaded guilty on Jun. 22, CNA reported.

In charge sheets seen by Mothership, Liu burned a pot of charcoal in the living room of his home along Joo Seng Road in the Upper Aljunied area on May 4 at about 9:40pm, causing a flat fire.

Residents were evacuated, and at least two firefighters were conveyed to the hospital due to smoke inhalation.

Delusions

According to CNA, the court heard Liu suffered from a delusional disorder.

He believed that his upstairs neighbour had been intentionally shooting laser beams and sending strong currents through his ceiling to disturb him for the past two years.

On the night of the fire, Liu believed that his neighbours were attacking him again.

This reportedly caused pain in his head and ears, leading him to burn charcoal in an attempt to ward off the attack.

Fire

Liu proceeded to place two pieces of charcoal and fire starters in a stainless steel pot.

He then lit the charcoal and placed the pot on a metal rack near the open window in the living room.

Liu continued to add more charcoal, and the fire grew larger.

A plastic curtain then caught fire, before spreading to the whole flat.

Liu attempted to extinguish the fire in panic, but failed to do so.

He then alerted the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) for help and informed his neighbours to evacuate the premises.

As a result of the fire, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) said a common area was damaged and estimated repairs would cost about S$80,000 to S$100,000.

Remanded

Liu was subsequently remanded at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH).

Based on his reports of somatic and persecutory ideas towards his neighbour over the previous two years, Liu was assessed to be suffering from a delusional disorder at the time of the incident.

The ideas of his neighbour shooting laser beams and sending currents through his ceiling were described as "fixed, false beliefs".

His parents, who lived with him, also confirmed it was not true.

Liu’s condition was assessed to be moderate in severity, given his fixation and the distress experienced from the perceived disturbances.

While a minor contributory link was found between his psychiatric condition and the offence, Liu was not of unsound mind at the time.

A report assessing Liu's suitability for a mandatory treatment order was called.

Liu’s sentencing was adjourned to Jul. 6.

A bull was shot dead after it ran around the streets of Changsha, Hunan, China, and gored three people.

According to local media, the incident occurred on Jun. 21 at about 1am at the entrance of Exit 4A of Wanjiali Square station.

Videos circulated online showed the bull ramming into two individuals and knocking them over.

One of their shoes flew into the air upon impact.

Wholesale market

According to eyewitnesses, the bull apparently rushed out from a nearby beef vendor in a wholesale market.

The bull was believed to have been scheduled to be slaughtered that day.

The animal reportedly became startled and lost control.

It then charged at two men by running through the streets.

The animal also injured another person.

Passers-by were reported to have dodged the bull by taking cover at roadside stalls.

The wholesale vendor alerted local police to the incident.

According to ETtoday, local police said the bull was shot dead near Liangxiao Road at about 2:53am.

Injuries

Two individuals were conveyed to a local hospital as a result of this incident.

One person sustained a fractured rib.

None of the injuries were life-threatening.

When 32-year-old Phil (not his real name) discovered doctored photos of himself with a former schoolmate, he felt chills run down his spine.

The photos depicted them as a couple going on dates and even showed them with a newborn baby.

Phil's sister, Ana (not her real name), told Mothership that they first learned about the photos from a friend, who had seen them on the schoolmate's social media accounts.

The friend knew that Phil was single and became suspicious after seeing the photos. She alerted Ana, who was shocked when she saw them.

AI-generated photos

According to Ana, the photos appeared to be AI-generated using images that Phil and their family had posted on social media.

Since the discovery, Ana has tried several times to contact the woman and get her to come clean, especially since her then six-month-old son’s photo was used in the fake images, but she did not respond.

Ana then took to Threads on Jun. 7 to share the story, which has since garnered 558,737 views.

The woman only responded to Phil’s sister after the post gained attention, however no resolution was reached.

Pretended to be in a relationship

Ana said she was told that the woman would post edited photos with her brother, portraying them as if they were in a relationship.

Friends who followed the woman on social media asked Ana whether her brother had a girlfriend or fiancée.

"I was shocked to hear because if my brother has a partner, us family would be the first to know," she said.

Phil later recalled that the woman was a former junior from school and that he had barely exchanged a few words with her.

As the web of the woman's lies began to unravel, Ana and Phil discovered more details on how she had allegedly been fabricating the story.

"To stay completely 'loyal' to someone who has zero contact with you, and then progress to creating a fake baby and a fake 'wedding' scheduled for this December - complete with real, unsuspecting people RSVP-ing to it - is horrifying," Ana said.

Most recently, the woman had apparently sent out fake wedding invitations and included their mother's actual full name as “Parent of Groom”.

Shortly after Ana's post on Threads, several people came forward claiming that the woman had been impersonating Phil and pretending to be in relationships with them from 2022 to 2024.

She allegedly went as far as creating fake Telegram accounts, Instagram accounts, email addresses, and phone numbers to impersonate Phil.

To make the deception more believable, she allegedly shared photos of Ana's family and personal information about her nieces and nephews, leading victims to believe they were genuinely in a relationship with Phil.

Another victim claimed she had been “catfished” by the same individual and believed she was in a relationship with a different man from 2017 to 2022, before later discovering that the actual man was married and had no knowledge of her.

Traumatised

Since the discovery, Phil has filed a police report, saying he felt traumatised and struggled to believe what had happened.

Ana shared that the first few days after seeing the photos were particularly traumatic for him. She added that he had trouble sleeping and found it difficult to concentrate at work.

"The mental toll of realising your identity has been heavily hijacked like this, is massive," she said.

The experience has served as a "massive wake-up call" for the family, highlighting the need to be hyper-vigilant about what they share online.

"Moving forward, it is in everyone’s best interest to set all social media accounts to private and strictly limit who can view your daily updates. We never thought public family photos would be harvested to feed an AI stalking obsession, but that is the reality of the digital landscape now."

According to The Straits Times, a clinical psychologist, Carol Balhetchet, said the woman shows signs of "delusional thinking", and that she has a "profound desire to gain control and power from a forced connection" with the man.

Balhetchet also said the woman should get psychological help.

Attempts by ST to reach the woman were unsuccessful.

Let’s face it, work can be a real chore, and when we knock off, our brain’s capacity is often at half or lower because we are exhausted.

By the time I’ve eaten dinner, the only thing on my mind is how I should be relaxing for the rest of the night.

And as I’ve discovered over the years, despite the various advances made in entertaining ourselves, few things beat a simple pleasure from my student days — killing monsters on a PC game.

Your quick dopamine fix

When you have been worn out by meetings and various vicissitudes at work, hunting monsters online and projecting all of your problems onto them is a fast and convenient way to boost your depleted dopamine levels.

And even fewer video games do that as well as MapleStory, a game that I remember very well coming to home after school.

Now, even though the game has expanded massively over two decades, at its heart, it still remains the same: killing monsters in ever flashier spells to liven you up after a long, hard day at work.

I will admit, I took a break from MapleStorySEA for many years between my student days and my current era of playing it once again: for the longest time, I thought I had outgrown it.

In fact, I only returned to the game after hearing that they had dropped a new update on Jun. 3, 2026.

Mostly, I was surprised that the game was still rolling out new updates after more than 20 years, and I couldn’t help but decide to take a peek at what had become of what a childhood favourite.

So what’s new with MapleStorySEA?

An all new class

For one, the first thing that caught my eye was an all-new mage class called Lynn. Naturally, I decided to try it out.

This class focuses on summoning forest guardian spirits to dish out damage and providing a variety of buffing spells to heal and protect from any unwanted status effects.

I was hooked. To top it off, it appeared to be extremely easy to level up at the moment, given that the update also came with a Challenger World server which means you get plenty of buffs to your EXP gain.

This server also features milestone rewards and a Challenger World-exclusive seasonal boss named Kai, who offers limited-time rewards.

In just an hour of play after installing the game, I had already reached level 60 and the third job advancement for my class, with decent flashy spells.

At level 140, you gain access to additional skills called Hyper Skills to help you hit mobs even harder – it’s deeply satisfying to suddenly see and hear a string of red numbers fill your screen from the spell’s effects.

Questing in the game and navigating around is also quite effortless. There are plenty of quests in the many towns you will encounter, and often, you get experience points (EXP) even just by talking to some of the NPCs.

In other words, this is a perfect game to play without really having to think too much.

Revamped classes

Of course, it’s not just the new class you can look forward to, which by the way, has exclusive cosmetics and powerful growth materials to fuel its progression if you start Lynn’s memories at the Tree of Life.

Two existing classes have also been revamped – the Wild Hunter and Kinesis.

Both classes now feature updated aesthetics and visuals for their attacks – their trailers will give you a clue as to what you can expect.

How you play them has also been significantly tweaked.

In the case of Kinesis, the Psychic Point system has been removed so that players can enjoy a more streamlined combat experience, without having to worry about resource micromanagement.

As for the Wild Hunter class, it is now much easier to play, thanks to refinements that have been made to its signature move of riding a creature into combat.

Players can expect to enjoy improved evasion, mobility and even a new passive invincibility frame, all for sleeker play.

Both existing and new Kinesis and Wild Hunter players will also be able to take part in a special event that will run until Aug. 18, 2026, called “Primal Intuition”.

Players can participate in this event by killing monsters within their level range to earn a variety of exclusive rewards for each class, including special pets, outfit sets and titles.

Easily reach level 260

Another event you can participate in is the Hyper Burning Beyond event, which is available until Aug. 18, 2026, as well.

This event grants players a massive 1+4 level up boost, up until they reach level 260.

There’s also the Hyper Mush Pass, which will provide you with powerful equipment and thereby ensure that you can skip the need to grind for gear.

If you are a returning player who already hit a high level prior to this event, you can also utilize the Burning EXPress for accelerated growth past Level 260, or link three characters via the EXPlode Trio event to easily share EXP across worlds.

Upcoming new endgame areas

There will also be two new upcoming endgame areas for you to enjoy, given that leveling can be done so quickly now.

On Jun. 24, the Black Sea area will be added to the Grandis region, with a new boss called the Radiant Malefic Star for parties of up to three players at Level 280+.

During this battle, players will have to manage an illusion magic gauge and swap between the states of illusion and reality to survive.

And on Jul. 22, players can look forward to another area being added to the Grandis region called Geardrock.

This area is targeted at players who reach Level 295 and will feature a boss at the same level called Jupiter, who can also only be tackled by parties of up to three players.

Tackle this boss to earn an item known as the “Sin of Arrogance” and presumably, bragging rights for making it that far.

A 73-year-old man was found dead inside his flat in Block 994A Buangkok Link after his employer reportedly alerted the police.

As the man had been absent at work for two days straight, his employer decided to look for him at his flat on Jun. 20.

He is believed to have been deceased for some time by the time he was found, as an odour was coming from his unit, Shin Min Daily News reported.

In response to Mothership's queries, the police said that they received a call for assistance at the location at about 7:45pm that day.

The man was found lying motionless in the unit and was pronounced dead at scene.

Based on preliminary investigations, the police do not suspect foul play.

Police investigations are ongoing.

The neighbour's account

A neighbour told Shin Min that a man in his thirties went to the flat around 5pm that day and asked around about the deceased.

According to the neighbour, the man said that the deceased was his employee, who had not been to work for two days.

He also added that the deceased would call his mother every day, but had not called for two days.

It is believed that he alerted the police, who stayed at the scene late into the night.

"Looking back now, I realised that the elderly man kept his front door shut over the past few days," the neighbour said. "Even when it was daytime, the lights in his house were on. Also, these past few days, I didn't hear any sounds from him, like the door opening and closing, or keys jangling."

Although the window of his unit was open, the neighbour did not smell anything foul until the police opened the front door.

Then, the odour was unmistakable, she said.

The neighbour did not interact much with the deceased, but the news of his passing saddened her deeply.

Only 14 per cent of Singapore's workforce felt engaged at work in 2025, lower than the Southeast Asian proportion of 25 per cent and the global mean of 20 per cent.

This was reported in Gallup's 2026 Singapore Workplace Report published on Jun. 22.

It added that the trend is not new, as Singapore has stagnated around the same level of engagement since 2019.

There is a significant generational divide in workplace engagement.

Among younger employees under 35, 10 per cent felt engaged, compared to 16 per cent of their older counterparts.

This split is higher than the two percentage point difference found globally between younger and older employees.

Reasons for lower youth engagement

Singapore's young workers are not less willing to work, according to 16 senior leaders Gallup interviewed for the report.

"Rather, they are working in conditions that foster lower engagement and wellbeing and induce greater levels of stress for them than for their older coworkers," the report wrote.

Singapore workers under 35 recorded experiencing more stress, worry, anger, and sadness daily than older workers.

Compared to 37 per cent of older workers who face stress daily, 53 per cent of younger ones experience it.

The Gallup report highlighted that while late millennial and Gen Z employees are frequently perceived as "fragile and ill-equipped to handle life and work pressures", the generational split is real and not imagined.

"Consequently, Singapore’s employers need to respond to the unique needs of younger employees," it went on.

Additionally, many of the interviewed leaders blamed this low level of engagement on external factors such as global market forces, challenging economic conditions, or labour market policy.

Others attributed it to the many family-owned small and medium-sized businesses in Singapore, and the highly competitive business environment.

Purpose and resilience

Speaking at the launch of the report on Jun. 22, Minister of State for Manpower Dinesh Vasu Dash called attention to the low 14 per cent rate of worker engagement.

He said it raises the question: "How can we build an engaged workforce and a workplace together?"

Engagement is important for workers as it brings about a deeper sense of purpose and greater resilience through changes over the course of their career, he said.

"For Singapore, an engaged workforce accrues to a powerful engine of sustained economic growth and, most importantly, social cohesion."

Dinesh added that the government has been working with tripartite partners to strengthen fair and inclusive workplaces, including through legislative and regulatory tools.

Positive well-being

In his speech, Dinesh also pointed out that Singapore performed better in terms of overall wellbeing.

Among Singapore employees, 40 per cent rated their lives positively enough to be considered "thriving" in 2025.

This figure dropped by two points from the previous year, but it is higher than the Southeast Asian average of 36 per cent and the global average of 34 per cent.

However, the report found that well-being programmes at workplaces do not appear to be effective at preventing work overload.

Most of the leaders Gallup interviewed affirmed that such programmes provided by their organisations do not change employees' day-to-day experience of work.

"Employees value these programmes, but they address the consequences of poor well-being and disengagement rather than their root causes," the report said.

Role of managers

In terms of improving worker engagement, many Singapore leaders believe managers are one of the most important drivers of whether employees are motivated and engaged.

The Gallup report found that 70 per cent of the variance in team engagement is attributable to the manager.

Rather than strategic plans, employee town halls, and annual surveys, strong relationships between employees and their manager are more powerful at creating and sustaining engagement.

"If the managers are doing a really good job of direction setting, coaching, reward and recognition, even if the workload is very high, I do think the employees remain engaged," one of the leaders interviewed said.

A 37-year-old Filipino man cut his weight from 100kg to 73kg in six months after failing to keep up with his four-year-old daughter in a swimming race.

The catalyst for his weight-loss journey occurred in December 2025, during a staycation in Singapore, South China Morning Post reported.

Christian Carlo Cariaso Canlas, also known as Ayo Canlas, a chief financial officer of an appliance company, said it was apparently difficult for him to keep up with his daughter.

Fall

Before he dropped off the fitness radar, Canlas was apparently a tennis player.

He even represented the Philippines in the 2006 Junior Davis Cup.

After graduating, he ate whatever he liked, while his fitness level fell.

The birth of his daughters, Arya in 2021 and Ciara in 2023, further perpetuated his lack of exercise, as he was getting less sleep.

“In my mind, I was still a top tennis player. In reality, I had no stamina,” Canlas reflected on his weight loss journey.

Health

In October 2025, Canlas was reportedly at his heaviest at 100kg and was on a dangerous health trajectory.

A medical examination in November 2025 also indicated that his “blood pressure and cholesterol numbers" were  "elevated significantly”.

While Canlas was not prescribed medication, the warning signs were clear.

The swimming incident further cemented his need to exercise and live a healthy lifestyle, and he wanted to avoid taking medication and make lifestyle changes instead.

Training

Canlas began strength training with a personal trainer at a local gym three times a week.

He initially started with full-body workouts and large compound exercises to build a strong foundation.

As he developed muscle mass and shed body fat, Canlas targeted smaller muscle groups to define his physique.

Diet

Canlas also adjusted his diet.

Canlas’ personal trainer reportedly introduced him to an app to track what he consumed and to monitor his calorie intake.

It apparently ensured he had the right amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats in his calorie-deficit diet.

Previously, he would start the day with a cup of black coffee and skip breakfast.

He would also have either fast food or other types of meals, such as Hokkien mee, char kway teow, or wanton mee, for lunch and dinner.

He would then drink bubble tea.

Now, his diet consists of a sandwich with low-fat peanut butter to fuel his morning workouts and canned tuna, scrambled eggs, a protein shake and black coffee for breakfast.

For lunch and dinner, Canlas has a mix of protein from meat sources, such as salmon, tuna, beef or lamb, accompanied by vegetables and carbohydrates, such as rice or quinoa.

He has also cut out alcohol.

On special occasions, such as holidays with friends and family, he sets aside a “calorie budget” so he can enjoy a slice of cake.

He also enjoys ice cream or bubble tea with his daughters on weekends and occasionally indulges in meals, such as hotpot or biryani.

Hyrox

In April 2026, Canlas and his brother set off to compete in the Hyrox challenge in Singapore, which also coincided with his birthday.

They aimed to complete the challenge, which is an indoor race comprising eight functional workout stations and 8km of running, in under 70 minutes.

The brothers hit their target in the end.

“Those 70 minutes represented months of waking up at 5:30am for training, skipping my favourite burgers and pastas, and making do with hotel gyms in every city I travelled to. It was about being a student again, sticking to the programme and trusting the process,” he recalled.

Canlas said it was one of his most memorable birthdays and viewed it as a “rebirth” to mark his fitter self.

Motivated

Ultimately, Canlas has stayed motivated as he focused on why he even embarked on his fitness journey.

“I wanted to show my family that I could be at the top of my fitness game. I wanted to inspire them and ensure that I am able to enjoy moments with them with my renewed energy,” he said.

He also felt that compliments from his friends on his weight was rewarding.

“It amazes me to look at some of the things I’m able to do now, both in the gym and in running, compared to where I was just six months ago,” he reflected.

Canlas also added that he can comfortably swim with his daughter and one day might “race her in the pool soon”.

A French TV presenter has apologised after publicly criticising Belgium winger Jeremy Doku for wanting to leave the World Cup to be present at the birth of his first child.

Doku, 24, who plays for Manchester City, revealed to reporters that his wife Shireen is due to give birth in the second week of July. This will coincide with the quarter-final stage of the tournament, according to The Independent.

He told Reuters he would want to be there regardless.

He told Reuters:

"It depends on when it happens, but it's my first child, so I would definitely want to be there. If you ask me what I want, my answer is that nobody wants to miss the birth of their first child. But I also know that football involves many other considerations."

Belgian media reported that plans are being made for Doku to travel home via private jet if needed, The Independent reported.

Presenter called birth a "disgusting moment"

The comments drew an unexpected backlash, not against Doku, but against Channel L'Equipe presenter France Pierron, who posted on social media criticising his decision.

She wrote:

"The World Cup is an incredible joy. There are hundreds of footballers who would kill to be in your shoes. It might never happen again in your life. It's a childhood dream you're living, and you're going to walk away from all that to go witness the birth of your child, which is a disgusting moment, excuse me, where the dad is totally useless. There are guys who took out loans just to come watch the match, and you, you're skipping it just to cut an umbilical cord."

The post drew hundreds of comments, with the overwhelming majority siding with Doku, according to Financial Review.

Retired French Olympic boxer Brahim Asloum was among those who responded, writing:

"A baby is your entire life. A World Cup is over when it is over."

Watkins: "Not anyone else's business"

England striker Ollie Watkins, a father of two, also came to Doku's defence.

He said:

"I think for a start [disgusting] is not a way to label a birth. It only happens once, your first child. Welcoming them into the world is a blessing, and you don't get that opportunity [again]. There's a lot of times where you're away from family and friends during the season, and it's very difficult periods. So, to miss that would be tough."

Watkins added that Doku would have plenty of support to make the trip back and return as quickly as possible, and that ultimately the decision was nobody else's to make.

Presenter issues apology

Faced with the backlash, Pierron issued an apology on X.

She wrote:

"I was expressing a personal opinion, within the framework of a debate. I was expressing a personal opinion, within the context of a contentious exchange. These remarks commit only me and in no way reflect a collective position. I understand that they may have shocked, hurt, or wounded some of you, and I am sorry for that. My intention has never been to minimize the place or role of fathers with their partner and their child."

A post shared by Dokss ✝️ (@jeremydoku)

A 72-year-old man has lost a lawsuit brought by his youngest brother over their share of the family home in Eunos, a property valued at S$9 million according to The Straits Times (ST).

According to a judgement paper made available on Jun. 16, Lim Sze Eng, the eldest of eight children, was sued by 61-year-old Lin Tze Kin, the youngest sibling, after he refused to honour their late mother's wishes for her half-share of the property to be sold and the proceeds distributed.

Background

Their late mother, Tan Ah Kar, became the sole owner of the property after her husband died in 1992.

According to ST, the other siblings moved out, but Sze Eng continued to live there with his wife, children and grandchildren.

In 2008, Lim brought his mother to a lawyer's office, where she signed documents transferring half of the house to him and his wife.

Four years later, in 2012, Tan drew up a will leaving her remaining half-share of the property to Lin and his two sons, with her other assets to be split equally among all eight children.

Following her death in 2023, Lim demanded that Lin hand over their mother's half-share of the house to him, claiming that he and his wife had purchased the entire property for S$570,000 in 1992.

This prompted Lin and his wife to take legal action, seeking a declaration over Tan's half-share of the home as well as her portion of proceeds from two shop units at Far East Plaza, which Lim had retained.

Judge rejected claim

According to the judgement, the judge ruled against Lim, finding no documentary proof that such a sale agreement existed, or that he and his wife had paid S$570,000 for the property using their own funds.

"There is no documentary evidence to support the existence of the agreement or that the defendants paid, out of their own monies, S$570,000 for the property pursuant to the purported agreement."

She also found that the couple had fabricated their account of how the money was raised.

Defendant's case

Lim told the court that his mother had feared the property, which was pledged as collateral against an overdraft facility, would be force-sold, as she could not keep up with the loan's interest payments.

He claimed that, as such, she asked him and his wife to buy the property for S$570,000 in 1993, to which they agreed.

According to him, the couple raised the funds by selling two properties in Taiwan and used the proceeds to clear the loan.

He added that there was no written record of the arrangement due to the close relationship between him and his mother.

Lim had produced two cheque deposit slips as evidence, but the judge noted these did not indicate the account from which the funds were drawn.

There was also no proof that the Taiwan properties had been sold in 1993.

Lim said he could not provide bank records or a sales agreement for the Taiwan properties due to the passage of time.

However, the judge was unconvinced, noting that he had retained other documents dating back to 1993, including an advertisement and service reports.

She also pointed out that the couple had taken no action to formally transfer any share of the property to themselves for more than 14 years after the alleged payment, which supported the conclusion that no such agreement had existed.

Recorded conversations presented as evidence

During the trial, Lin and his wife submitted video recordings of conversations between Tan and two of her daughters, taken between 2010 and 2022.

In one recording, Tan said she had transferred half of the property to Lim to honour her late husband's wishes, adding that she feared he would make her life difficult if she refused, given that they lived together.

"... and if I didn’t sign it to him, he would make my life miserable, we live together every day, I would be unable to eat or sleep."

Court's decision

In her will, Tan stated that her half-share of the house should be sold, with 60 per cent of the proceeds going to Lin and the remaining 40 per cent split equally between his two sons.

Her other assets were to be divided equally among all eight children.

The judge ordered the house to be sold, granting Lim and his wife the first option to purchase Tan's half-share.

She noted that it would be unfair to Lin's family if the property remained unsold while Lim's family continued living there, whereas Lim's family could use their share of the proceeds to purchase another home.

The proceeds were ordered to be split equally between both parties, with a portion of Lin's share, tentatively assessed at about S$305,000, set aside as reimbursement to Lim for renovation costs he had incurred.

On the Far East Plaza shop units, the court found that Tan held a 10.67 per cent stake in the properties, which were sold for S$3.78 million in 2007.

The judge ordered Lim to pay the estate 10.67 per cent of the net sale proceeds, along with an account of Tan's share of rental income from July 2004 onwards.

The court also dismissed Lim's counterclaim for S$1.5 million, which he alleged he had given to his mother for safekeeping.

A 56-year-old woman was found dead at the foot of Block 227 Bukit Batok Central on Jun. 21.

In response to Mothership's queries, the police confirmed they were alerted to a case of fall from height at 4:10pm.

A 56-year-old woman was found lying motionless at the said location and was pronounced dead at scene by an SCDF paramedic.

Based on preliminary investigations, the police do not suspect foul play.

Police investigations are ongoing.
