Recently, diners at Redhill Food Centre have noticed that the hawker centre houses two stalls with the same name in both English and Chinese: Redhill Pork Porridge.

One, located at unit #01-46, has a plain white signboard with its name, and two large red stickers above the menu indicating that it was listed in the Michelin Guide Singapore twice, in 2023 and 2025.

Not far away at unit #01-90, another similar white signboard boasts the same name, but no Michelin Guide stickers.

Both businesses sold Hainanese pork porridge, according to Shin Min Daily News.

But while the Michelin-listed stall only sells pork porridge with some add-ons, the other offers a wider menu that also includes other porridges with sliced fish, chicken, and cuttlefish with peanut.

Replacement stall

The Michelin-listed stall's Facebook page revealed that it was originally set up at unit #01-90, then moved to unit #01-46 on May 1.

Some time later, a new stall opened at #01-90, also named "Redhill Pork Porridge".

According to a Facebook user, they visited the Michelin-listed stall on May 22 and spoke to a lady there.

The user claimed the lady said the original unit was "taken back by the owner, who proceeded to open a porridge stall with the exact same name and product".

The staff of the two businesses also reportedly had a dispute soon after the move.

The manager of the current #01-90 stall told Shin Min that she found her stall's customised bowls and plates missing on May 1.

She accused the team behind the Michelin-listed stall of taking them when they moved to their new location, causing her to spend a few thousand dollars to order new bowls and plates.

She added that she has made a police report.

Confusion

The appearance of two similar-looking stalls in the hawker centre has created some confusion among diners.

Another Facebook user posted to ask which one was "the authentic pork porridge stall", and thought that the Michelin-listed stall had an overhaul and now used different signs.

But some regular patrons of the older business believe they know the difference.

"I've eaten [from them] for many years, I know its taste, so I won't buy from the wrong stall," a woman told Shin Min. "But customers who are not familiar with them may get the stalls mixed up."

Hong Kong star Aaron Kwok, 60, was spotted in various parts of Singapore the last few days.

According to various Xiaohongshu videos, he appeared to be at Changi Airport, Dempsey Hill, and Resorts World Sentosa (RWS).

Some of the videos showed him at shoots.

For work?

Kwok was seen in a video posted on Sunday, Jun. 14 at a duty-free store in Changi Airport.

He was a blue-and-white striped shirt.

A video on Jun. 15 showed Kwok in a white shirt and jeans at Dempsey Hill.

He was accompanied by a crew.

The actor and singer was later seen at RWS in a white singlet accompanied by security personnel.

He was seen at Weave mall and The Laurus, a luxury hotel on Sentosa.

The purpose of his Singapore visit was not immediately clear.

He last performed in Singapore in June 2023.

Reactions

Social media users expressed shock that Kwok is already 60, but still looks younger than his age due to his jet black thick hair and toned physique.

Kwok is one of Hong Kong's "Four Heavenly Kings".

He is married to Chinese model Moka Fang, 38.

A completed renovated unit was mistakenly demolished by workers when they entered the wrong unit in Jiangsu, China.

The bizarre mishap landed all parties in court, where the affected homeowner was awarded RMB11,000 (S$2,087) in compensation, ST Headline reported.

The wrong unit

The incident occurred in a residential complex in Wuxi City, Jiangsu.

The owner of the third unit on the fourth floor (unit 403) had hired a renovation company to carry out demolition and renovation work.

The project foreman instructed the workers to head up and retrieve the key, which was left at the unit's door.

However, the workers failed to check the floor numbers and accidentally stopped at the third unit of the third floor (unit 303) instead.

Furthermore, the previous tenant of unit 303 had just moved out and routinely hid the key under the doormat, ST Headline noted.

Since the units had identical layouts and the key was found at the door, they assumed that unit 303 was the correct unit and started work.

As a result, unit 303 was completely demolished, with the walls, false ceiling, kitchen and bathroom facilities all torn down and removed.

All existing furniture and appliances were also cleared out.

When the owner of unit 303 visited the apartment the next day, he was shocked to find it in ruins.

He immediately called the police.

Judge's ruling

According to Tianyan News, the apartment owners of units 303 and 403 attempted mediation multiple times but were unable to reach an agreement.

The case was then transferred to a local court.

The judge clarified the responsibilities of each party, saying that it was the workers' failure to verify the unit number before entering the house, and that they were directly at fault for causing the accident.

The project foreman was also held liable for his failure to fulfil his on-site management responsibilities, indicating a clear oversight in supervision.

The judge mediated the dispute based on the original renovation agreement and the loss of items.

The apartment owner of 303 agreed to make concessions and voluntarily reduced the compensation claim from the initial RMB20,000 (S$3,794) to RMB11,000 (S$2,087), Tianyan News reported.

The renovation workers and the contractor bore the cost of RMB6,000 (S$1,138) and RMB5,000 (S$949), respectively.

Both parties have since paid the amount in full.

A man riding a three-wheel personal mobility aid (PMA) in Yishun was conveyed to the hospital after apparently losing control while speeding on a pedestrian path.

The incident occurred at about 7:30am on Jun. 14 at Yishun Avenue 8.

In a video circulating online, a man was seen lying unconscious next to an overturned PMA.

Blood stains were apparently visible on the pavement.

A passer-by could be heard saying “speeding” repeatedly.

“I cannot touch him,” he said before the video cut to an image of the man lying on the ground in an unconscious state.

According to the captions of the video, the person who uploaded the clip was apparently jogging when the rider sped past him.

“He was going as fast as the motorcycles on the road and almost hit me,” he wrote.

About 10 seconds later, the PMA user apparently lost control and “crashed on his own”.

He was said to have only regained partial consciousness when emergency responders arrived.

In response to Mothership's queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed that it received a call for assistance at about 7:35am on Jun. 14.

A pundit on prediction market Polymarket apparently placed a US$990,068 (S$1,268,000) bet for World Cup favourites Spain to win its match against tournament debutants and 67th-ranked Cape Verde.

If things had gone the pundit's way, the bettor would have walked away with more than US$85,000 (S$108,900).

The odds were set at 92 per cent.

Instead, Cape Verde held Spain to a draw, and the bettor walked away with a million dollars less in their bank.

Before the David-versus-Goliath showdown on Jun. 16 between Spain and Cape Verde, Polymarket shared about the million-dollar bet in a post on X.

Taiwanese actress Vivian Hsu shared more about her relationship with her parents, including her father who passed away in 2017, during an interview with Taiwanese media.

According to Lianhe Zaobao, Hsu's parents divorced when she was in primary school, and her father subsequently left home.

It wouldn't be till she was 18 that she reconnected with her father.

Hsu said she did not harbour any resentment, but instead did all she could to spend as much time with him.

They resolved the misunderstandings and any lingering negative feelings Hsu might have had.

Her father was suffering from liver disease at the time, and Hsu spared no effort in helping him fight his ailment.

She said she spent about S$400,000 on her father's medical fees and liver transplant costs.

She teared up during the interview, and explained her philosophy behind her actions.

She said: "After the successful liver transplant, my father stayed with us for nine more years. I feel that money can be earned again, but once my father is gone, he's gone forever."

Hsu recalled the day her father died on New Year's Eve, and choked up.

She noted that he passed away when the fireworks were going off, the event is now something that "we will remember him forever".

While she didn't celebrate New Year's Eve for years after her dad's passing, she started again after her son grew up and became more excited to celebrate the occasion.

Photos of her father are still displayed in her house in Taiwan and Singapore, it was reported.

She greets him every day, and says she will prepare two cups of wine to offer her father on Father's Day.

She said: "Because my dad loves to have a drink, I always have a drink with him and talk to him."

Hsu also touched on her love and respect for her mother.

She called her hardworking, and noted that she never complained even when things got tough.

Hsu also recalled how she and her two siblings overheard their mother secretly crying in the bathroom during their childhood.

She said this broke her heart, and she vowed to become a capable person to take care of, protect, and love her mother.

For selling more than 2,000 counterfeit Sanrio products at three of its stores, a company in Singapore was fined S$13,000, and its 51-year-old female director was sentenced to eight months’ jail.

The company, Gem Story Biz Pte Ltd, and its director, 51-year-old Tan Mei Qin, faced 75 charges under the Trade Marks Act, Lianhe Zaobao reported.

The prosecution proceeded with 14 of the charges on Jun. 15.

The remaining charges were taken into consideration during sentencing.

No authorisation

In court documents seen by Mothership, the company has stores at Bukit Panjang Plaza and 18 Tai Seng, as well as a makeshift retail stall at Bugis Junction.

They were found to be selling products bearing Sanrio trademarks without authorisation.

In April 2023, a commercial investigation firm appointed by Sanrio investigated the company.

An investigator purchased products from the company, which were deemed counterfeit by Sanrio’s legal department.

Seized

On Jul. 21, 2023, officers from the police’s Intellectual Property Rights Branch (IPRB) obtained search warrants for the company’s three stores and launched an enforcement operation.

A total of 1,626 items, including face masks, mouse pads, hooks and reusable shopping bags, were seized.

The items featured popular Sanrio characters, such as Pompompurin, Hello Kitty, Kuromi, and My Melody.

Despite the first seizure, investigators discovered that the company continued selling counterfeit goods on Aug. 16, 2023, and in January 2024.

Authorities seized a total of 2,034 counterfeit items valued at approximately S$6,604.

Director

Tan had hired several employees to manage the stores and was responsible for sourcing products.

However, she failed to verify if the products were genuine and if they came from suppliers authorised by Sanrio.

Citing Tan’s role as the company's director, secretary and shareholder, the prosecution argued that she held full control over the company’s operations and decisions regarding the procurement, distribution and sale of the counterfeit products.

The prosecution further argued that despite the first enforcement operation, Tan continued to sell counterfeit goods and did not provide any restitution.

Tan’s previous eight months’ imprisonment in 2013 for a similar offence was also mentioned.

The prosecution sought a 10-month jail term for Tan and a S$14,000 fine for the company.

A Thai woman who won a $6 million baht (S$236,427) lottery jackpot lost her prize after her neighbour's husband stole and burned the winning ticket, admitting he thought she was too quiet to fight back.

The 54-year-old victim, Sayan, had bought three lottery tickets and went to her neighbour Waew's home to check the results together, according to The Thaiger.

Ticket number 173770 came up as the first-prize winner.

Waew congratulated Sayan and suggested leaving the tickets at her house temporarily for safekeeping until they could be claimed.

Attitude changed overnight

When Sayan returned the following day to collect her tickets, Waew's story had changed completely.

She insisted none of the tickets had won, saying one number had missed by just a digit, and that she had already thrown them all out, per The Thaiger.

Unconvinced, Sayan rummaged through the rubbish bin outside the couple's home as Waew had confirmed the winning number herself just the day before.

She found two of her non-winning tickets discarded there.

The winning ticket, however, was nowhere to be found.

Sayan filed a police report at Sawankhalok Police Station, and officers summoned Waew and her husband Date for questioning.

The couple denied any involvement and allowed police to search their home.

Waew also told the police she had returned all three tickets after checking the results, per The Thaiger.

Husband confesses, says he burned the ticket

On Jun. 11, Date finally came clean.

He admitted to taking the winning ticket, telling police he had wanted the money.

He told officers he believed Sayan was a quiet person who would not push back or make trouble.

After the case gained public attention and pressure mounted, he burned the ticket to destroy the evidence and avoid arrest, according to Sin Chew Daily News.

Date claimed he had acted alone and that Waew had no knowledge of what he had done.

Waew, however, changed her statement once more, admitting she had kept the winning ticket after checking it, but said she was unaware of when her husband had taken it.

Will Sayan still be able to claim the prize?

According to Sin Chew, Sayan told media she felt a measure of relief after learning the truth, but was deeply disappointed that someone close to her had done this.

Her bigger worry now is whether she can still claim the 6 million baht without the original ticket.

Neither the police nor the Government Lottery Office have confirmed whether the prize can be claimed in the absence of the original ticket, or if any replacement or compensation process exists.

The legal liability facing the couple also remains unclear.
