One woman in Singapore believes she has "swiped to the end of the stacks" on dating apps and is now asking TikTok to find her a husband instead.

32-year-old Dionis Liaw laid out her case in a video posted under the handle @dionislovespink.

"I have officially run out of men in Singapore on dating apps"

In the video, Liaw said she had been actively dating since March.

In her search for the 'one', she has paid for premium subscriptions on a multitude of dating applications like Coffee Meets Bagel, Hinge, Bumble, Facebook Dating and Matchcatch, spending over S$1,000.

"I have officially run out of men in Singapore on dating apps," she lamented.

She added: "I'm outsourcing my husband's search to TikTok now. TikTok, you find me one then."

@dionislovespink I spent $1,000+ on dating app premium, swiped to the end of the stacks… so fine, TikTok you find me one then 😭😂 I literally only need ONE. If you’re genuinely single, marriage-minded, want kids and think we might actually be compatible — form is in my bio 💀 If not, send this to your suspiciously eligible single friend pls 😂 #DatingInSingapore #SingaporeTikTok #FindMeAHusband #DatingApps #dionislovespink ♬ original sound - Dionislovespink - Dionis 🐈‍⬛🐈💕

Frustration and challenges

Although her decision to film a TikTok video was spontaneous, she said that the "frustration... had been building for months".

She explained that the challenge with dating apps was not a "shortage of people", but finding someone whose life goals and lifestyle aligned with hers.

She said:

"You can match because you find each other attractive and have chemistry, then only later discover that one person doesn't want children, doesn't want marriage, has a completely different communication style or sees relationships very differently."

She emphasised that she is "quite intentional about dating", and said she would rather ascertain if there is compatibility early on, as opposed to "spending months dating someone only to discover that we want completely different futures".

As such, since her "dating app judgement had clearly failed [her]", Liaw has resorted to creating a matchmaking form.

"The execution is a bit ridiculous, but the intention is real," she quipped.

She explained: "No, I'm not choosing a husband on this Jotform, I'm just literally deciding who might be worth one date."

What she is looking for

Liaw described herself as 32, separated, and with no kids.

She is dating to marry and hopes to have two children.

"I know quite clearly what I’m looking for," she told Mothership.

In a partner, she is looking for someone who wants marriage and kids, is financially stable with a "provider mindset, drive, doesn't smoke and likes cats".

She also said she would like someone who "preferably knows how to communicate like a functioning adult".

The form includes about 20 questions, covering basic details, and applicants' thoughts on marriage, kids, and their communication style.

Some of the questions include whether a man is okay dating a separated woman whose divorce is not yet final, when they would ideally want to get married, how they feel about having two children, and how they feel about cats.

The form notes that submissions are private, and that submitting does not guarantee a reply or a date.

79 submissions and counting

Speaking to Mothership, Liaw said she has received about 79 submissions so far, 65 through the original Jotform and another 14 through a newer Tally form.

She said the submissions have been mixed — a number appear to be genuinely serious, while some appear to have been submitted as a joke.

"Some of the answers have made me laugh and some people have taken the application much more seriously than I expected."

"Send this to your suspiciously eligible single friend"

She is still screening potential suitors with a careful eye though.

Liaw reiterated that does not want to meet someone just because they filled in the form, and that there has to be enough compatibility for her to genuinely want to know them.

In her video, she ended off on this note: "TikTok, please find me what S$1,000 worth of dating app premium couldn't."

The video has since passed 125,000 views, far more than she expected.

And her efforts beyond the apps appear to have worked somewhat — Liaw told Mothership she has spoken to several respondents.

In fact, she has a first date lined up already.

Three men who went to a nightclub to drink and sing ended up assaulting another customer after he poured away a drink they had offered.

The 50-year-old victim did not know the three assailants.

Toh Soon Heng, 63, has since pleaded guilty to one count of voluntarily causing hurt on Sep. 16 and was sentenced to eight weeks' jail.

The other two men, Cheng Chee Hiong and Wee Keng Mong James, were previously sentenced to three months' jail and six weeks' jail, respectively.

Prosecutors said this was a prolonged and one-sided group attack fuelled by alcohol, which resulted in moderate harm being caused to the victim.

Victim threw away drink

Toh was drinking with Cheng and Wee, along with some other friends at GG KTV Nite Club on Jul. 30, 2025 at about 6pm, according to court documents seen by Mothership.

They bumped into the victim when he came out of the toilet, and one of them offered him a beer.

He accepted the beer but poured it away, triggering the group to start the assault on him.

About half a minute after the assault started, Toh and Wee exited the KTV room and joined in the assault.

Wee grabbed a pack of tissue paper and hit the victim on his head once, whilst Cheng and Toh punched and kicked the victim multiple times.

Assault continued

The victim eventually fled the pub towards a nearby restaurant.

However, the assault continued on his way to the restaurant.

Wee kicked the victim once on his back, causing him to stumble forward.

Later at the restaurant, Cheng threw a large coconut at the victim, though it missed.

Toh also punched the victim once on his face.

Throughout the altercation in the pub and at the restaurant, the victim did not retaliate, court documents said.

The victim was taken to Changi General Hospital, where he was found to have suffered multiple injuries, mainly on his face and head.

The victim was issued a 34-day medical certificate.

Drinks in drink containers without the Return Right logo are on discount in Singapore.

Some of these drinks are going for as much as 50 per cent off, according to The Straits Times.

Checks by Mothership showed retailers, such as supermarkets, are pricing some of these drinks cheaper by about 30 per cent.

This is done in a bid to clear stock, ST reported, according to retailers interviewed.

However, retailers told ST that they are mindful of not selling discounted inventory all at once in the next two weeks to avoid flooding the market.

BCRS kicks in on Oct. 1

The Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) kicks in fully from Oct. 1, 2026.

All plastic bottles and cans from 150ml to 3 litres cannot be sold, unless they have the 10-cent deposit mark.

Under the scheme, administered by the National Environment Agency (NEA), customers are charged 10 cents extra for each drink purchased.

They can get the 10 cents back when they deposit the used containers into a Return Right machine, which is a reverse vending machine.

Container needs to have deposit mark and barcode

Since Apr. 1, 2026, more than 1,000 machines became operational.

The six-month transition period for producers and retailers to clear old stock ends on Sep. 30.

It will be an offence from Oct. 1 to supply any regulated beverage if the container is not affixed with the BCRS deposit mark and a barcode.

Those found guilty can be fined up to S$10,000 and/ or jailed up to three months.

Non-labelled stock, such as those imported from suppliers overseas, can be amended manually or with a labelling machine.

Through a series of coordinated raids across Singapore, the National Parks Board (NParks) seized 101 wild animals that were illegally kept in residential premises on Sep. 14.

These animals are all non-native species, and include sugar gliders, lizards, newts, pythons, tarantulas, and turtles.

They are also not allowed to be sold, offered for sale, or kept as pets in Singapore, NParks said in a Sep. 16 media release.

Among the seized wildlife, many were in poor health, and 13 were found already dead at the premises.

According to NParks, they might have died due to "poor and unsuitable living conditions" such as insufficient space with lack of ventilation and access to adequate food and water.

The raided residences belong to six people suspected to be involved in the illegal sale and/or possession of wildlife species.

Investigations into these six individuals are ongoing.

Protected & threatened animals

Several of the seized species are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

Some are species that may be threatened with extinction if their trade is not regulated. Others are protected under the domestic law of a CITES Party that has requested other Parties' help in controlling trade in it.

They include the Armadillo Girdled Lizard, Axolotl, Ball Python, Blue Beauty Anole, Mount Elliot Leaf-tailed Gecko, Pig-nosed Turtle, Grey Banded Kingsnake and the Rosy Boa.

Kept under poor conditions

NParks highlighted that many of the wildlife seized were discovered to be in poor health conditions.

For example, a leopard gecko was found with a ruptured and infected eye, and did not have the ability to shed its skin fully.

A few other leopard geckos and axolotls were also found to be very lethargic and in poor body condition.

One of these leopard geckos thus had to be euthanised on animal welfare grounds, NParks said.

"These conditions are highly indicative of a long period of time captive under poor conditions," they added.

Care for the remaining wildlife

The remaining seized animals are currently being housed and cared for at NParks' Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation.

They will undergo a mandatory quarantine period as they come from unknown sources and may harbour diseases that can infect other animals and humans, NParks said.

After the quarantine, they will be evaluated to decide if they shall be repatriated or donated to animal establishments such as zoos.

Euthanasia may be considered as a last resort.

Tackling illegal wildlife possession & trade

This was not the first coordinated raid by NParks to combat the illegal sale and possession of wildlife.

A similar operation was conducted in 2025 targeting people suspected of engaging in wildlife trade, resulting in 16 wild animals seized from six premises across Singapore.

Under the Wildlife Act, people who offer for sale, sell, or export any wildlife (whether alive or dead) without approval may be fined up to S$50,000, jailed up to two years, or both.

Those who import into Singapore any living wildlife without approval may be fined up to S$10,000, jailed up to a year, or both.

Members of the public with information on suspected poaching, smuggling, or illegal trade of pet animals and wildlife can provide feedback online or call NParks' Animal Response Centre at 1800-476-1600.

Any seasoned K-drama fan would recognise Lee Dong Wook.

You know, the tall, handsome and exceptionally talented actor who has starred in many television series and films.

Here’s an image for reference:

Likewise, the name “Masaki Okada” would be familiar to J-drama fans, especially with the deluge of movies and dramas he’s been in.

For your reference (and for your viewing delight), this is what he looks like:

Imagine how far my jaw dropped when I was told I’d be flying to Seoul to see them in action on the set of Disney+’s second season of “A Shop for Killers”.

In case you missed it...

“A Shop for Killers” follows college student Jeong Jian (played by Kim Hyejun) who was raised by her uncle Jeong Jinman (played by Lee).

Following her uncle’s apparent suicide, Jian was targeted by assassins in her own home and eventually discovers that Jinman runs Murthehelp, a dark web marketplace that supplies illegal weapons to criminals.

Season one ends with a plot twist (*Spoiler alert*):

After action-packed episodes in which the audience sees Jian defend herself with the help of some martial arts-trained allies of her uncle, Jinman returns to the warehouse alive.

With Jinman’s return in season two, he will work to keep Jian safe while battling a new wave of deadly assassins and the ruthless mercenary organisation BABYLON, like J (played by Okada) and Q (played by Hyunri).

A post shared by Disney+ Singapore (@disneyplussg)

Now that you’re up to speed, the set visit for season two happened about a year ago, in August 2025, and it was a highly confidential trip. Which means that I don’t have much evidence of the trip, so you’ve just got to trust me bro.

Along with the Disney+ team and other media folks, we took a long bus ride from Seoul to the production set.

What looked like an ordinary mega warehouse housed something far more expansive: a multipurpose production space lined with meticulously designed sets.

One corner held a replica of a hotel room and corridor…

… while another corner literally housed the exterior of Jian’s home, which some media folks got to shoot prop guns at, courtesy of the stunt and props team.

There was also a shipping container rigged to move like freight jostling in the back of a truck, but we’ll get to that later.

Just as I was about to go “whoa”, we were escorted quietly to the video village as the action started on set.

There I was, watching Lee, Okada, and Hyunri act out stunt-heavy action scenes on a screen, while they were about 10 metres away.

Months, even years of training

That action scene may be just a few seconds on screen, but the reality behind it is months and even years of training.

In fact, Okada jokingly said he was surprised to have received the role, as he had no experience in action work at all.

To play the role of the ruthless assassin J, Okada said: "I trained with the stunt team from the ground up. I had no foundation at all. I filmed the action scenes with Dongwook, and he was incredibly considerate and thoughtful as he guided me through our action scenes together."

To prepare for season two, Geum Hannah, who plays a top-notch assassin and Jinman’s dependable ally So Minhye, said she had picked up different sports on top of her basic stunt training to make her character’s movement “carry more power and feel more desperate”.

Meanwhile, Hyunri, who joins season 2 as Q, said she started stunt training in December 2024, months before production even began. She trained five days a week, including firearm training.

What does the lead actor do to prepare for his gruelling role, you ask?

“I just did what I have been usually doing,” Lee coolly said.

“And yet, he is the best,” Kim jokingly replied.

High-effort production

As mentioned earlier, during the set visit, we were taken into what looked like a shipping container mounted on a gimbal rig.

The production team explained that this shipping container was used for scenes to emulate being inside a moving truck.

Not only did it feel like I was in the back of a container driven by an erratic driver, but the clanging of the metal structures added to the experience as well.

It’s hard to put it into words, so here’s a drawing of what it felt like:

Honestly, I was too busy keeping myself steady so I wouldn’t embarrass myself by falling in the container. So I can’t imagine how the actors have to act and say their lines while dealing with the mini tremors.

“Acting is an incredibly demanding profession. They work very hard, filming under these challenging conditions,” producer Lee Sunghoon said, echoing my sentiments.

Lots more action

So why should you watch season two of “A Shop for Killers"?

As director Lee Kwon puts it, viewers can expect the characters to face more hardships and make greater sacrifices in the latest season.

Lee Kwon said: “Now that they are in conflict with BABYLON, they will attack the main characters. Jinman and Jian will also have to strike back, which will naturally involve a lot of different strategies and various forms of stunt work.”

And if you’re jumping in at season two, Kim said you won't miss out.

“For viewers discovering the series for the first time through season two, there will be plenty to enjoy as well, from refreshing visuals to new characters added to the story.”

Both seasons of "A Shop for Killers" are streaming on Disney+.

A 58-year-old former group director of the Housing & Development Board (HDB) was charged with accessing the agency’s database without authorisation and retaining documents.

Tan Chew Ling is facing two charges under the Computer Misuse Act and the Official Secrets Act.

She was charged on Aug. 5, 2026.

Breach

In charge sheets seen by Mothership, between Apr. 27 and 28, 2024, Tan allegedly accessed data held in a computer hosting the Housing Development Board’s Housing Management Submissions Database.

She apparently did so on 161 distinct occasions without authorisation.

Tan was the group director of HDB's Estate Administration and Property department at the time.

On Apr. 28, 2024, she allegedly illegally retained documents and information pertaining to seven HDB flats located at Kim Keat, Pasir Ris, Jalan Tiga, Dawson Road, Bedok North, Tampines and Shunfu Road.

Some documents also contained information on a compulsory acquisition of a home ownership flat, estimated rental income for a private property at Duo Residences on Fraser Street, and HDB's refusal to allow an objection to an intended compulsory acquisition of a home ownership flat.

She also purportedly obtained the information due to her position.

Report

According to The Straits Times, Tan previously reported a leak of confidential information in 2017.

She lodged a police report against an HDB officer in the resale operations arm who gave a journalist information about a project involving resale transactions.

The officer was subsequently fined S$2,000 for contravening the Official Secrets Act.

A check of the government directory revealed that Tan is no longer a group director at HDB.

A 19-year-old man sexually assaulted his sister, who is more than one year older than him, on multiple occasions.

He was sentenced to 12 months’ jail and one stroke of the cane.

The man pleaded guilty to two charges, CNA reported.

Three other charges were taken into consideration during sentencing.

The man’s identity cannot be disclosed as a gag order was imposed to protect the victim.

He is also appealing against his sentence and is currently out on bail.

Conditional warning

According to the judgement made available on Sep. 10, the man first sexually penetrated and molested his sister without her consent when he was 13.

He was given a 12-month conditional warning and was sent to a welfare home for about three years for protective reasons.

The man was also referred to the Positive Adolescent Sexuality Treatment Programme.

Returned to family

In 2023, he returned to live with his sister and his family.

He shared a bedroom with his sister and younger brother.

The three of them shared two mattresses.

Molested sister again

In February 2025, the man molested his sister while she was asleep at night.

He was at least 17 at the time of the offences.

The assaults would happen at least twice a week.

On some occasions, she would wake up, turn away from the accused, or become angry.

In mid-February 2025, his family bought a bunk bed and placed it in the bedroom.

His sister slept on top while the man and his brother slept on the bottom.

Later that month, the man woke up and molested his sister while she was asleep.

His brother was not present in the room at the time of the offences.

His sister subsequently lodged a police report on Mar. 4, 2025.

Recalcitrance

The prosecution sought jail and caning for the man.

Although he was found suitable for reformative training, the prosecution objected, arguing that it was inappropriate because the man was recalcitrant.

The prosecution said the man had a pattern of reoffending and lacked remorse, which included him expressing hatred towards his sister.

They also argued that the man sought to justify his actions and claimed his sister “pretend to allow” the molestation.

The prosecution noted that the man had a girlfriend with whom he had refrained from sexual relations out of "religious conviction".

However, he did not exercise that restraint with his sister.

Deterrence needed

The man’s lawyers called for probation and reformative training suitability reports, and later sought reformative training for him when he was found suitable.

They argued that he was a young offender who was not hardened or recalcitrant.

His lawyers said his earlier offending also resulted in a conditional warning and he was not convicted.

They also argued that reformative training would provide longer, more structured intervention than imprisonment.

The judge said deterrence was needed in his case.

While there was “only one incident” before the reoffending, a prior sexual offence against his own sister was "one incident too many".

"The fact that the accused's sexual offending was met with a conditional warning instead of court prosecution was an act of leniency extended to him by the authorities,” she said.

“One which he plainly took for granted, as his subsequent conduct showed," she added.

"Since deterrence had displaced rehabilitation as the dominant sentencing consideration, a term of imprisonment was the appropriate sentence and sent the right signal to the accused and to like-minded offenders. The nature of the sentence, and what it communicates, is more needful than the length of incarceration alone," she concluded.

The appeal was adjourned to a later date.

Some academics from the National University of Singapore (NUS) who were acknowledged in a working paper alleging that civil servants had engaged in "informed trading" of homes near unannounced MRT stations clarified that they were not involved in the paper’s research, and comments may have been made long ago at seminars.

At least one of the professors has shared that he has asked for the mention of his name to be removed.

The working paper, titled "Do Social Norms Substitute For Enforcement? Evidence from Public Officials' Home Purchases in Singapore", was published by American non-profit National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).

In it, the authors said they found a pattern of mid-level civil servants in Singapore "disproportionately" purchasing homes near unannounced MRT stations, one to two years before the stations’ locations were made public.

A spokesperson for the Public Service Division (PSD), an agency under the Prime Minister's Office, has said that PSD is aware of the paper and its findings.

The spokesperson also said that PSD is reviewing the paper and will refer to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau if there is a "material basis to do so".

Comment might have been made long ago at seminars

In the paper's preface, the authors — who are affiliated with Stanford University, Columbia University and the University of Hong Kong — thanked a list of individuals whom they said they had discussions with from which they  "benefitted immensely".

Some of the individuals they thanked were participants at a seminar.

These included several professors from NUS as well as professors from Harvard like Li Shengwu and Jesse Shapiro.

When contacted by Mothership, Wenlan Qian, who is Director at NUS' Institute of Real Estate and Urban Studies, said that she is not involved in the paper in any capacity and directed questions to the paper's authors.

Another of the mentioned professors, Sumit Agarwal, similarly referred questions to the paper's authors, according to CNA.

Bernard Yeung, Emeritus Professor at NUS Business School, told Mothership that he was not involved in the working paper's research.

Yeung also explained that in the profession, academics listen to seminars and raise questions or comments.

"If our comments or questions are good, authors may thank us in their papers’ front page. They do not have to inform us if they do that," Yeung said.

He added that he does not remember his questions or comments.

David Reeb, an NUS professor, gave a similar explanation.

Reeb shared that he had published research on informed trading in the U.S. in the past, so the working paper's topic is within his area of research.

His inclusion in the working paper's acknowledgment suggests that he did ask a question or make a comment on the topic, but he can no longer remember what it was.

He suggested that this would have been a long time ago, likely around a decade, and before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Reeb clarified that he had no involvement in the data, analysis or writing of the NBER working paper.

Ivan Png, who is Distinguished Professor at NUS, told Mothership that he does not know the co-authors and have not discussed their work on housing purchases with them.

Png also said that he was puzzled to have been thanked, given that he had not commented or contributed to the work in any way.

He shared he has since written to the working paper's first author, but has not heard back.

Another of the professors, Jessica Pan, who is NUS' Vice Provost of Graduate Education, shared with CNA that her name appeared by mistake and has similarly asked for mentions of her name to be removed.

Mothership has reached out to Jessica Pan, Sumit Agarwal and the paper's authors for comments.

Mothership has also reached out to several other professors thanked by the paper's authors, including Li Shengwu, for comments.

Singapore's Ministry of Education (MOE) is building on ongoing efforts to adjust and manage teachers' workload, so they can spend more time on teaching and interacting with students.

As part of these efforts, MOE is looking into the possibility of allowing teachers to focus on two of these three responsibilities beyond classroom teaching: form teachership, co-curricular activities (CCAs), and committee work.

Recalibrating teachers' workload

Speaking at MOE Schools Work Plan Seminar on Sep. 16, Education Minister Desmond Lee said teachers today have to juggle a range of responsibilities beyond lesson delivery, from supporting diverse student needs and counselling, to parent engagement, administrative duties, CCAs, and committee work.

According to MOE, committee work includes student development, staff development, partnerships, and timetabling.

"Many teachers have told us that switching constantly between different responsibilities takes not just time, but also mental bandwidth," said Lee.

As such, MOE is studying whether teachers could focus on two of the three areas, taking into account the needs of each school as well as the teachers’ strengths and interests.

This will allow teachers to devote more of their time and attention to classroom practice and deeper interactions with students.

Though schools have received additional support, including more allied educators and administrative staff, the ministry wants to take a step further to better organise teachers' work, said Lee.

This includes looking at how schools can draw more deliberately on coaches, instructors, non-teaching staff, and external partners to support CCAs and student development programmes, including administrative duties.

Flexible learning spaces and smaller classes

MOE is also exploring how existing school spaces can be adapted to support learning.

Future classrooms could include mobile and modular furniture that can be reconfigured easily, spaces for both whole-class and small-group learning, and technology-enabled environments that allow smoother transitions between physical and digital learning, said Lee.

He cited Queenstown Secondary School as an example, noting how flexible furniture and varied seating arrangements in their classrooms help to support different teaching approaches.

MOE is also examining where smaller classes could make the greatest difference to teaching and learning.

Smaller classes can allow teachers to better cater to individual learning needs, and create more engaging and effective learning environments, Lee said.

However, he noted that this would have to be part of a broader redesign of teaching and learning.

"Smaller classes do not automatically mean less working load. Smaller classes may mean teachers take on more teaching," he said, adding that such changes will therefore have to be implemented in a sustainable manner.

New platform for teachers

MOE will also continue to leverage technology to strengthen teachers’ professional work and simplify routine processes.

An example of such an effort is the Teacher Workspace.

Teacher Workspace is a platform that brings together key student information, tools, and workflows that teachers use on a regular basis.

As such, this reduces the need for teachers to navigate between different digital systems and gives them a more holistic view of each student's needs and development.

The platform will be rolled out to all MOE schools by 2027, and more features will be introduced progressively, announced Lee.

Learner-centred teaching approaches, feedback processes

Building on strong foundations in academic and 21st Century Competencies (21CC) domains, MOE will also strengthen learner-centred teaching approaches, such as inquiry-based and collaborative learning.

"Preparing students for the future is not only about what they learn," said Lee. "It is also about how they learn."

He said students will need to go beyond acquiring subject knowledge to synthesise and apply what they know, tackle authentic and open-ended problems, and take greater ownership of their learning.

At Telok Kurau Primary School, for example, students applied science concepts to redesign the school’s outdoor garden shed into a better learning environment.

MOE will also review how teachers can provide more purposeful feedback to students.

This includes giving teachers clearer guidance on the forms of marking that best support learning, as well as examining how technology can augment the feedback process.

Moves to be piloted in six schools

All these measures are part of two shifts MOE will make to strengthen holistic development and prepare students for a more uncertain future: reimagining learning and redesigning classrooms.

The shifts will be piloted in six schools from January 2027: St. Anthony's Canossian, Woodgrove and Zhangde Primary Schools, as well as Commonwealth, Deyi and Jurongville Secondary Schools.

"This is a complex pilot, so we will proceed carefully," Lee said, adding that MOE will work closely with the six pilot schools to provide guidance and support.

The ministry will also assess what can be learnt from the pilots before considering how the approaches can be applied more widely across schools.

Tower Transit Singapore is thanking three passengers on board a bus and a commuter at a bus stop after they helped a bus captain who became unresponsive while driving in Hougang.

Their actions were commended in a Sep. 15 Facebook post, which stated that the incident took place the day before.

Passengers helped unresponsive driver

A bus captain on service 854 became unresponsive after experiencing a sudden medical emergency at the wheel as the bus approached a stop along Hougang Ave 3.

One man at the bus stop who saw the driver slumped in the cabin banged on the doors to draw attention to the situation.

Passengers on board then rushed to help, where one checked on the driver and another called an ambulance.

A third passenger climbed into the driver's seat and engaged the handbrake to bring the bus safely to a stop.

Driver in stable condition

The post added that a nearby SBS Transit bus captain also stepped in to alert the control centre while the passenger who stopped the bus explained the situation.

"Thanks to them, all the passengers were safe and our bus captain is now in stable condition and receiving care," the post read.

"To the vigilant commuter at the bus stop, the quick-thinking passengers, and the helpful SBS Transit Ltd bus captain, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

"If this was you, please DM us or call our hotline. We'd love the chance to thank you properly."
