Two Chinese nationals, a 25-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man, were charged with allegedly engaging in a conspiracy to counterfeit Singapore currency notes.

Yang Zelong, 33, and Han Wenqian, 25, were charged on Aug. 26, The Straits Times reported.

On Aug. 24, at about 3:50am, the police received a report that Yang had attempted to change a counterfeit S$100 note at Marina Bay Sands Casino.

Officers from the Central Police Division and Commercial Affairs Department attended to the case.

Preliminary investigations revealed that Yang allegedly handed over S$150,000 to the cage cashier and asked the cashier to deposit the amount into his casino account.

Upon counting the cash, the cage cashier apparently discovered that one Singapore S$100 note had the word “COPY” printed on it, and promptly reported the case.

Leave with a printer

Police officers subsequently escorted Yang to his hotel room, where they saw Han leave with a printer.

A search was conducted.

A total of 121 counterfeit S$100 notes were found in her possession.

During the search at the hotel room, officers also uncovered counterfeiting instruments including a bottle of ink, paper, and a paper cutter, which were subsequently seized as case exhibits.

For forging or counterfeiting currency or bank notes, offenders are liable to a jail term of up to 20 years, and a fine.

For using as genuine counterfeit currency or bank notes, offenders are liable to a jail term of up to 20 years, and a fine.

For possession of forged or counterfeit currency or bank notes, offenders are liable to a jail term of up to 15 years, and a fine.

For making or possessing instruments or materials for forging or counterfeiting currency or bank notes, offenders are liable to a jail term of up to 20 years, and a fine.

The police advised members of the public who receive any suspected counterfeit money to call the police at "999" immediately.

They should also note down the description of the person who presented the counterfeit note.

This includes the gender, race, age, height, build, clothing, tattoos, and language or dialect spoken.

Those who receive suspected counterfeit currency are to limit handling of the suspected counterfeit note and place it in a protective covering, such as an envelope or folded paper to prevent further tampering, before handing it over to the police.

You might know Charlie Lim as the guy behind the SG60 National Day theme song.

Lim released his first album, "TIME/SPACE", to glowing reviews in 2015. He performed in the 2018 National Day Parade, released a second (also well-received) album the same year, and was conferred with the prestigious Young Artist Award in 2021.

For a period of time, he was one of Singapore's brightest young stars in the music space. The world, it seemed, was his oyster.

But for a few years after, he effectively vanished. Until last year, when he emerged to pen the official theme song for SG60 — "Here We Are".

What happened?

The lowest point

In 2023, Lim moved to London.

Since his youth, he had a dream to make it big in the UK. It was his "musical mecca" in his youth — his favourite music was from there, his favourite artists.

After his first two albums, he felt like he'd done what he could in Singapore. The timing seemed right. He signed up for a course in music engineering.

And then Covid-19 hit.

By the time he finally made it to London, it was 2023. He was older, more jaded, and struggling with his mental health.

But he went anyway, in pursuit of that old dream.

It wasn't long before it all began to fall apart. Lim, who has bipolar disorder, found himself in the full throes of a severe manic depressive episode.

"I didn't realise how sick I was... I was just so depressed," he tells Mothership in a sit-down interview.

He battled self-destructive behaviour, was constantly anxious, and barely slept. He lashed out at his loved ones, strained his relationships.

At his lowest point, his marriage fell apart. Lim considered quitting music; he even thought about ending his life. His dream had become a nightmare.

Waking up

He decided he was done with London and its illusions. He flew to Australia, where his family lives, to spend more time with them.

"My parents helped so much. I don't even think they understood how best to help... [but] just being around them helped a lot," he says.

He stayed home, hung out with his young nieces, and played music — for fun, not for work.

It was then, he feels, that he began to regain a love for life and for music. He'd tied his identity to his work for so long; it was like being able to breathe again.

"I think [that time] really saved my life, to be honest," Lim tells me.

By the time he was ready to return home to Singapore, he'd decided to abandon his old dreams. Scrap all his previous projects, start afresh entirely.

That was when he got a call. It was Sydney Tan, veteran musician and longtime director of the National Day Parade.

He'd called to ask Lim to join as the assistant music director for SG60.

Song of the times

At first, Lim was unsure if he was ready.

"It was a big task to take on. Could I deal with it, on top of my mental health and everything I was going through?" he asked himself.

He decided he felt stable enough to do it. As it turned out, the work helped anchor him. It was the fresh start he'd been searching for, a new purpose.

"And then a few months later, they were like, 'hey, you want to give the song a go?'"

Lim hadn't signed up for writing the NDP theme song, and he didn't know if he was prepared for it. But he agreed to submit a demo anyway.

Writing "Here We Are" was a tricky process, he explains. A National Day theme song is possibly the most scrutinised piece of work in Singapore; it's something that the people own, or feel they own, collectively.

But it's also something that has to come from the heart of the songwriter, Lim believes.

As he looked around the world at the time — with so much geopolitical instability and polarisation — Lim wrote his demo. It was a gentle, reflective ballad. Here we are, it's tough times, but there is reason for hope.

"I couldn't bring myself to write, like, a super upbeat tune," he tells me. It would have felt disingenuous to himself, to the state of the world at the time.

He didn't really believe it would get picked. But it did, and it's now Lim's biggest musical legacy.

Daydream, delusion

For now, anyway. On Aug. 26, Lim released his newest album, "DAYDREAM". It's his first full-length album since 2018.

The title is deceptively unassuming, simple and lighthearted. But it's a record of Lim's own mistakes, how his own dreams and aspirations led him down a path that almost destroyed him.

"It's like... if you chase a dream too much, you might forget what's actually in front of you, and you might lose what you have as well.

So in a way, this is me kind of waking up. From this dream slash nightmare."

It's also a literal record of his lowest points, put to words and music. One of the songs, "Nobody's Home", was written while he was in the UK, while he was still contending with the end of his relationship.

He remembers how he and a friend were messing around with samples, and then the whole song "just poured out of [him]" in one take.

"After that, I just collapsed on the couch and I cried. I just bawled my eyes out," he recalls.

It's that exact take, that exact recording from that day, that's going on the album.

Little island

Now, Lim's in a much better place than he was three years ago. He is, he quips, "a bit older, a bit of a washed-up unc".

But he's ok with it. In his wide-awake state, he understands how the pursuit of his art almost swallowed him whole.

And he is determined not to let that happen again.

"I've realised that so much of what I was chasing in the metrics of success or happiness, a lot that really doesn't matter anymore... Your work is not who you are," he says.

"[Now] my ideal is just to be able to survive comfortably, doing the things I love, and providing for my loved ones."

Dreams change, goals change, opinions change. Being back in Singapore, this little island with its little stages, might have been a nightmare for the Lim of four years ago.

But he knows better now.

Lim tells me how, at last year's NDP, his niece came to Singapore to watch him perform in the parade. "Actually, can I show you?" he asks.

He scrolls through his phone until he finds the video. It's of a tiny girl sitting in the Padang, cheeks flushed in delight, calling out something indiscernible.

"She's calling, 'Uncle Charles'," he tells me, with the proudest look on his face. It's a different kind of daydream from the London lights, a littler one.

But one that is surely, surely, worth closing your eyes for.

Canada has announced up to 50 per cent in counter-tariffs on about US$20 billion (S$25.4 billion) worth of U.S. goods, marking an escalation in the trade war between the once-close North American allies.

Canada's dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs were precipitated by similar tariffs imposed by the U.S. against roughly CA$27.6 billion (S$25.3 billion) of Canadian goods.

Escalation

According to CNBC, Canada's new tariffs will encompass more than 700 U.S. goods.

It mirrors the size of America's import levies placed on Canadian wine, cement, hockey sticks and other goods.

Canada's counter tariffs range from 15 to 50 per cent, targeting U.S. dairy, seafood, appliances, wood and paper products, and clothes.

The increase in tariffs on American steel and aluminium is the most significant, reaching about 50 per cent.

Canada's new tariffs on American imports will kick in on Sep. 8.

Alongside the tariffs, Canada also announced a CA$7.5 billion (S$6.87 billion) support package for Canadian workers and businesses, the country's Department of Finance said in a press release.

Canada previously recalled negotiators

Before Canada's Aug. 25 tit-for-tat tariff announcement, its Prime Minister Mark Carney released a statement on Aug. 21, noting that Canada's trade negotiators worked in the context that "America has changed".

"Last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal," Carney said.

He also announced that Canada has decided to suspend trade negotiations with the U.S. and recalled its negotiators.

"Canada has what the world wants. And we will not allow any nation to determine our future. We will set our own course to keep building Canada strong for all," Carney concluded.

Canada "ripping off" U.S. "for decades", Trump says

U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out at Canada on Truth Social, writing that Canada has been "ripping off" the U.S. "for decades".

He also claimed that the U.S. has lost about "60 billion dollars a year with Canada" on average.

Trump also posted a graphic which showed a map of Lake Ontario with its name crossed out and replaced by "Lake Ameria".

Lake Ontario is a lake split by the border of Canada and the U.S.

Just a few days after he started chatting with a woman on TikTok, a 68-year-old man was introduced to an online investment platform.

The woman told him that investors can get up to 10 per cent returns.

The man, Ng, had encountered other people who had similarly approached him on TikTok to join investment platforms.

Speaking to media in an interviewed arranged by the Singapore Police Force, he said he had ignored those people.

None of those who had approached him had offered a rate of return as high or as attractive.

Very soon, he created an account on the platform and invested between S$1,000 to S$5,000 worth of cryptocurrency every two to three days.

He never got his money, nor any profits, back.

The platform turned out to be a scam.

Over about three months from November 2025 to January 2026, the man lost a total of S$70,755 to the platform.

This sum included his initial investments, and the amount he later depositied in an attempt to get his money back.

Investment scams like Ng's case remains the scam type resulting in most amount of money lost, according to the police's Mid-Year Scams and Cybercrime Brief 2026, released on Aug. 26.

Trusted her like a friend

Ng currently lives with his wife.

When the woman followed Ng on TikTok in early November 2025, he followed her back.

They started chatting on the app before moving to WhatsApp.

After chatting for a few days, the woman said she had something good to share with him.

She had been investing on a platform called AI Robots.

As it was AI-powered, it could work faster than human brokers at analysing data, and thus offered investors very high returns, she explained.

The woman claimed that she worked for the company and thus could not trade on the platform herself.

She asked if Ng could help her to manage her account instead.

Ng did not question what she told him about the platform because he treated her like a friend.

"She talked in a way that made me see her as a friend I could trust," Ng told reporters.

When he had an issue with his bank account, he shared about it with her, and she gave him advice.

Never met in person

Ng never met the woman in person.

He only had a photo, supposedly of her, that she had sent him.

The woman, who told him she was 35, claimed that she grew up and lived in Kuala Lumpur.

Although she used a Malaysia number to communicate with him, he recognised that she had a mainland Chinese accent when they spoke over the phone.

He questioned her about this, and she explained that she had picked it up from her father, who was from China.

For his retirement

Ng was also attracted by the high rate of returns the platform promised.

At the time, he thought he was getting older and wanted to retire.

Investing, he felt, was a way to keep earning money so he could enjoy a comfortable life after retirement.

He agreed to help manage the woman's account.

He then set up his own.

Suspicions

Ng did see the money in his account grow fast like the woman said.

"But although I could see [the money], I could not get it out," he said.

Issues started popping up on the platform that prevented him from withdrawing his funds.

In late November 2025, when his investments grew to S$50,000, the platform's customer service claimed his funds were blocked due to poor internet connection.

They said he needed to invest another S$50,000 to retrieve them.

Unable to raiser this sum, Ng went to his son for a loan.

His son, after understanding the situation, guessed that his father was being scammed, and advised him to make a police report.

By this point, Ng had already lost S$43,590.

Before the case was resolved, however, he returned to the platform, hoping to get his money back.

But the platform found new ways to get him to invest more.

In January 2026, the customer service claimed that he had to pay a 28 per cent income tax fee before he could make a withdrawal.

This was the final push that made Ng feel that something was not right, and he stopped putting more money in.

His second round of investments cost him S$27,165.

'Talk to your family more'

Ng's son did not know that his father went back to the platform after making a police report.

He only found out after Ng asked him for a loan again.

To pay the supposed income tax fee, Ng approached a moneylender he found on TikTok.

He thus needed money to pay the debt he owed the moneylender.

Looking back at what happened, Ng said that when he read about scam cases, he had always wondered why people would fall for scams.

Now, he said, he understood.

It was hard for him to assess the situation clearly at the time, he explained.

"When you encounter problems like this, talk to your family more," he advised others. "People around you can help you think clearly."

Lessons learnt

On hindsight, Ng said he felt that he was silly and naive to have believed in the promises of the investment platform.

He also admitted that he did not really know the woman who approached him on TikTok well.

His son questioned why he would trust a woman he had never met, Ng shared, and he could only say that he was "too simple-minded".

"I never thought that people would try to do anything bad to me," he said.

After realising he was scammed, he did not confront the woman, believing for a while that she was a fellow victim.

He grew suspicious of her, however, and decided to block her.

Though he continues to use TikTok, he said he will no longer talk to people who message him on the app.

A single missing-persons case has exploded into a nationwide scandal, encompassing the cases of nearly 300 other missing persons.

The case centres around the actions of a single police sergeant, accused of having faked evidence in order to close cases, which, at the very least, may have critically impacted families' ability to help the victims.

No contact

As of Aug. 26, four bodies were found on Jeju Island in the span of three days between Aug. 22 and Aug. 24.

Of the four deceased, it is the case of 37-year-old Jang Mi-Ran that has invited the most furore.

Jang was initially reported missing in May 2026, and the police officer in charge of her case, an officer surnamed Bu, had told her family that he had spoken to her and that she did not want her whereabouts disclosed, as reported by The Korea Herald, via the Asia News Network.

However, Bu appears to have lied about speaking to Jang, and that there was no record of any communication between Bu and Jang.

Instead, Bu had closed the case without confirming Jang’s safety, forcing the family to refile the case in July, by which time much of the digital evidence related to her disappearance, such as CCTV footage, would have been deleted, making finding her much more difficult.

He is alleged to have done the same for another case involving a man in his 60s, whose body was found on Aug. 22.

False records

It is feared that all 298 missing-persons reports that Bu had handled and closed were affected in some way, and South Korean police are now investigating all of them.

The case has prompted the police to investigate a vast number of missing person’s case, with Yon Hap reporting that in Busan, over a two and a half year period starting in 2024, over 99 per cent of the over 25,600 missing persons cases were closed.

He is now facing charges of dereliction of duty, obstructing official duties, and falsifying and using official electronic records.

Among the many concerns the case has thrown up is how Bu was able to close such cases without any supervision.

All four officers in his chain of command at the Jeju Seobu Police Station, including the current and former chief of the station, the head of the detective division, and the leader of the missing-persons cases team, have been removed from active duty.

Breakdown in discipline

South Korea’s president Lee Jae Myung has had to react to the case, having since ordered the creation of a government body to oversee reforms to the police.

Korea Times quotes Lee as saying “the recent breakdown in police discipline and irresponsibility in public safety matters have become serious problems.”

Confidence in the police, the Times said, was already shaken by previous unrelated scandals, such as when a police officer whose son was accused of murder was found to have destroyed evidence related to the case.

Bafflement

Korea JoongAng Daily spoke to fellow police officers about the case, who were baffled by Bu’s actions.

They noted that closing the cases and lying in the manner he did would not have significantly alleviated Bu’s workload, nor would closing more missing persons cases improve his performance record.

One officer said that Bu wasn’t even conducting the searches for missing persons himself, and his actions had “effectively interfered with the search efforts of other officers.”

Bu has told investigators that he had actually contacted the missing persons, and denies wrongdoing.

Rumours and speculation

Jeju is a popular holiday and tourist destination, attracting both domestic and foreign visitors.

But since the news of the deaths and disappearances has reached virality, many worrying stories have emerged.

Some tell of locals advising visitors to travel in groups, and to take cabs or public transport to destinations rather than walking.

Others speculated wildly more nefarious, unsubstantiated, possibilities.

Meanwhile, sources such as SBS News, quoting the head of the Pyo Chang Won Crime Science Research Institute, said that there were no signs of a physical struggle or of a third party entering or leaving the scene of Jang’s death, leaving an equally tragic but less sensational explanation for her death and disappearance: that she had taken her own life.

However, he said one should not jump to conclusions hastily, and criticised the police for their actions.

"If the police had continued the search without lying at the outset that they had made contact, early discovery would have been fully possible, even if survival could not be guaranteed."

Five days after going missing, a Chinese international student was found dead in South Korea, in the residence of a man, another Chinese national.

The man was the first person who had reported her missing, telling the authorities he was her boyfriend,  The Korea Herald reported.

Following her death, the local police arrested the man on suspicion of murder.

Lost contact with family

The student, a woman in her 20s, was enrolled in a rehabilitation therapy programme at a graduate school in Gyeongsan city, The Korea Herald reported.

She had gone home to China to spend the holidays with her family, then returned to Gyeongsan on Aug. 14 to attend her graduation ceremony.

The night of the ceremony was the last time her family heard from her.

The next day, she was reported missing by the suspect.

He told the police she had said she was heading to Daegu, a nearby city, then stopped responding to messages.

On Aug. 19, the woman was found dead in the suspect's house in Gyeongsan.

Investigations

Analysing the woman's phone location data, the police found that she had visited two places the day she disappeared: a convenience store near her graduate school, and the vicinity of a railway station in Daegu.

After the police questioned the suspect, they detected inconsistencies in his account.

This prompted them to arrest him on Aug. 26, and start investigating the case as a potential homicide.

People close to the victim said that she and the suspect were acquaintances, according to The Korea Times.

The police will be conducting an autopsy on the woman's body to determine the exact cause and time of death.

The Chinese consulate responds

The Chinese Consulate General in Busan, South Korea, has called for severe punishment of the suspect, Korea JoongAng Daily cited Xinhua News Agency reporting.

The consulate released a statement on Aug. 26 about the man's arrest, and called on the Korean police to conduct a thorough investigation and severely punish the perpetrator.

It also said it would provide consular assistance to the victim's family in handling matters following her death.

A customer at a braised noodle stall in Bukit Purmei accidentally paid S$650 for a bowl that cost S$6.50.

The stall owner had no way of tracing the customer, and only managed to return the money nearly a month later when the man came back to the stall, Shin Min Daily News reported.

He only found out when doing the accounts

The stall is Kai Fa Signature Lor Mee at a coffee shop at Block 109 Bukit Purmei Road.

Its owner, Vincent See, 48, said the customer had come by for some noodles, scanned to pay, and left.

It was only when he was going through the accounts later that day that he noticed a payment of S$650 had come into the stall's account.

A bowl of lor mee costs S$6.50, so he guessed the customer had paid the wrong amount.

But there had been plenty of customers that day and he could not recall which one it was.

He went to the bank about it

Sia approached the bank to flag the overpayment, so that if the customer enquired about it, the bank would know See was trying to return it.

He waited three to four weeks before the customer finally turned up again.

It turned out the man had gone overseas, and only realised S$650 was missing from his account when he checked it recently.

Suspecting he had paid the wrong amount, he went back to the coffee shop to ask See about it.

Once See had checked his details, he returned S$643.50, the balance after deducting the cost of the noodles.

A new Singapore Chinese Heritage Gallery (SCHG) will open at the Singapore Conference Hall in 2031, showcasing the history, heritage, and contributions of Singapore's Chinese community as part of the country's shared multicultural heritage.

It will be established by the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC), with support from the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth and the National Heritage Board.

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong first announced the plans during his Mandarin speech at the National Day Rally on Aug. 23.

Gallery to open in 2031

In a media release on Aug. 25, SCCC said engagements with key community leaders, clan associations, docents, youths, and students since mid-2025 showed support for a dedicated gallery offering a broad overview of the history, heritage and contributions of Singapore's Chinese community.

Feedback highlighted three key areas: presenting a balanced and historically grounded account, making the content inclusive and relatable to different audiences, as well as creating engaging experiences.

The gallery will trace the Chinese Singaporean experience from before the 14th century to the present day through six themes:

1. Ports and Trade in Early Singapore (Pre-14th century to early 1800s)
2. Chinese Settlements in British Empire (1819 to 1870s)
3. Cultural Convergence: Institutions and Networks (1900s to 1942)
4. Tides of Change (1877 to 1965)
5. The Chinese Community in Post-Independence Singapore (1965 to 1980s)
6. Chinese Singaporean in a Global City (1980s to present day)

SCCC said the gallery will complement existing heritage institutions and exhibitions, including its SINGAPO 人 Permanent Exhibition, which explores the evolution of contemporary Chinese culture and identity in Singapore.

The centre will also be engaging other cultural institutions and key stakeholder groups to gather diverse perspectives and anchor the gallery in the country's multi-cultural context.

Public invited to shape gallery

SCCC will be launching a travelling exhibition, titled Have Your Say: Co-conceptualising the Singapore Chinese Heritage Gallery, to gather public feedback on the gallery's content and presentation.

The exhibition will be held at Chinatown Point from Aug. 25 to Sep. 11, followed by One Punggol from Sep. 12 to Oct. 2.

It will subsequently travel to other venues, including shopping malls, public libraries, community hubs, schools, and community centres.

Ng Siew Quan, the chairman of SCCC, said the gallery would be an "important milestone project" for the local Chinese community, and help strengthen a sense of belonging among Chinese Singaporeans, while highlighting values such as resilience, diligence, patriotism, and communal spirit.

Historian and SCHG Advisory Panel member Kua Bak Lim said the gallery could serve as a "central unifying node", bringing together stories and materials from different museums, clans, and community organisations.

SCCC Youth Force member Koh Horn Ray also said the gallery could also provide youths with a relevant and accessible way to learn about their heritage and understand how the Chinese Singaporean identity has evolved over time.

Air India is seeking US$1.5 billion (S$1.9 billion) in fresh equity from owners Singapore Airlines and Tata just months after recording a loss of more than US$2 billion (S$2.5 billion) for the 2025 to 2026 fiscal year, Reuters reported.

The carrier's record loss weighed down on SIA's own profits, with Singapore's national carrier posting nearly S$1 billion in losses less than two years after its 25 per cent investment in the airline.

No decision made on request: Reuters

"Air India wants the funds immediately, though the infusion is likely to happen in tranches. Singapore Airline's would need to contribute to its share of the proposed infusion to go through," one source told Reuters.

Discussions are ongoing and there has been no decision on the request.

An unnamed SIA executive has called it an "annus horribilis (a horrible year)" for Air India, the Financial Times previously reported.

They added: "Air India is trying to undergo a major transformation — the likes of which have probably never been seen in the airline industry — while also dealing with all these other issues."

Reports also surfaced in April about Air India's request for capital injection from its major shareholders.

Background

SIA was first enlisted by India's largest conglomerate Tata Sons, who hold the other 75 per cent in Air India, as an unofficial adviser when the latter began exploring taking over Air India in 2021.

SIA jumped onboard, eventually owning 25 per cent of the Indian carrier.

SIA's management reportedly contributed S$822 million of capital to Air India in the early days, then another S$167 million in March 2025.

Multiple incidents have since affected the carrier, contributing to an overall loss of S$945 million from March 2025 to March 2026.

In June 2025, an Air India flight bound for London crashed after take-off, killing 242 people.

SIA has since stepped up its operational involvement in India's national carrier.

Convicted sex offender, 27-year-old Amos Yee, was given four new charges in court on Aug. 26 for offences related to online contents he allegedly published.

An earlier report mentioned that an Aug. 25 police news release stated that the contents were found to be "alarming and racially divisive".

Several reports were made to the police between April and July 2026, and police investigations were subsequently conducted.

Yee previously said in an Aug. 25 TikTok video that his bail could be revoked as he had committed new crimes on top of his existing charges.

Yee's current bail was revoked, but was offered a S$15,000 bail.

His mother posted the bail, and Yee left the State Courts at about 11am.

When asked by media whether he was concerned about getting separated from his family, he replied that he think they are used to it as he has been arrested seven to eight times, Yee said.

Racially divisive posts

On Apr. 7 and Apr. 11, Yee was found to have made two posts on his blog in which he stated that the Malay-Muslim and Indian communities in Singapore were heavily discriminated against by the Chinese majority.

He also made statements about the Singapore government's treatment of these communities and incited protests against the government.

Yee repeated these sentiments in a video on May. 27.

Indecent comments

In another post published on his blog on Jun. 30, Yee posited that children were capable of consenting to sexual acts.

He also advocated for the abolition of laws governing the age at which children can consent to such acts.

Previously in 2021, he had made three other videos in which he advocated sexual relationships involving children and the abolition of laws prohibiting child sexual abuse material.

Posts taken down

The police added that they have issued an OCHA Disabling Direction (DD) to take down the video on X on Aug. 18, which the platform has complied with.

For the remaining offensive content, Yee has been issued a Stop Communication Directions to remove the existing posts on his personal blog.

Yee is also set to plead guilty on Sep. 7 to NS enlistment offences.

He was previously charged in March with three offences related to his NS obligations.

Speaking to Mothership outside the State Courts on Apr. 23, Yee said he would "just treat it like a business trip" if sentenced to jail, describing it as "something [he] has to do to ignite a political movement".
