A 61-year-old man was arrested for a rash act after jumping off a moving ambulance on Seletar Expressway (SLE) and running on the road.

He was then knocked down by a car, Lianhe Zaobao reported.

The incident happened on Jun. 15 after the Lentor Avenue exit along the SLE and towards Punggol.

In response to Mothership's queries, the police said they received a call for assistance at about 2:40pm.

They added that the man was conveyed conscious to the hospital and was subsequently arrested for a rash act.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they received a call for assistance at about 2:50pm, and conveyed a person to the hospital.

Police investigations are ongoing.

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.

When Taiwanese singer Pao Hsiao-po finally received his doctorate degree on Jun. 13, he was able to be joined by his late daughter Pao Rong – somewhat.

The girl had passed away from a rare disease in 2021, but her father created an AI-generated version of her to attend the graduation ceremony at National Taipei University of Technology.

Offering her blessings

According to Taiwanese media, the elder Pao, who had been in Taiwan's music industry for over 40 years, delivered a speech during the ceremony, titled "A Graduation Blessing from Love and Technology: A Voice of the Future."

He had been encouraged to apply for a doctoral program after completing his master's degree in 2018.

He completed the program in eight years.

An AI-generated version of Pao Rong appeared on screen midway through the ceremony, clad in academic robe and cap.

She offered her blessings to her father and the graduating cohort.

Most difficult period of his life

In his speech, Pao said the video was more than an AI demonstration, but a testament to overcoming the most difficult period of his life.

His daughter had passed away midway through his studies.

When asked by Taiwanese media about the times he had wanted to give up, he said the hardest moments were when he had to go to class when his daughter was ill in the hospital.

She had undergone a tracheostomy and would cry and beg him not to leave.

"I could only put my forehead against hers and say, 'Daddy is going to class and will be back soon'," he said.

Overwhelmed with pressure from life, family and studies during that period, he fell into depression.

Didn't let his daughter down

Pao said that what compelled him to finish his degree was his wife's words the night before Pao Rong's funeral.

She had urged him not to burn the graduation cord that their daughter had sent from her school in the U.S., saying that the girl would have wanted her father to wear it.

Those words became his biggest motivation, said Pao.

"During that time, I kept telling myself one thing: If I don't graduate, I will be letting my daughter down."

He addressed his daughter: "Thank you, Pao Rong. She said she was proud of me, but...I'm prouder to have her as my daughter."

"Thank you for coming into my life, and teaching me eternal love with your short life."

He also choked up while thanking his wife, who was present at the ceremony.

He would not be where he was without her company and strength, he said.

A parked motorcycle was allegedly vandalised with raw eggs, white powder, and an unidentified liquid, according to a viral video posted on Jun. 8.

The vehicle's exhaust pipe was also stuffed with pieces of broken eggs.

According to The Straits Times, this happened at a Yishun carpark.

Responding to queries from Mothership, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) confirmed that a report has been lodged and that investigations are currently underway.

After a hit-and-run accident

The vandalism incident follows an earlier viral clip from Jun. 5, which appeared to show the same motorcycle involved in a traffic accident.

In that footage, the motorcycle switched into the left lane and collided with another rider.

Footage uploaded showed the rider appearing to continue riding down the road, after the accident.

Under the Road Traffic Act, failing to stop after a traffic accident is an offence.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told Mothership that they were alerted to a road traffic accident along Sembawang Road on Jun. 5 at about 6:55am.

One person was conveyed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

Tampines MP Baey Yam Keng shared a bit about some hardships a town council contractor had to deal with recently.

In his reel, he quietly observed a man working and clearing small, miscellaneous items on the ground.

Baey said: "Besides dried leaves and vegetation, he had to clear rubbish like cigarette butts, wrappers and bottle caps. These are the typical small and light items that can easily be trapped within the bushes."

Baey also broke down the time it might take for someone to clear the area:

"It took him more than 2 minutes to clear one such landscaped area and there are 8 such areas in the vicinity."

Baey then appealed to the public to properly dispose of any waste in a bin or chute, even if the waste is "tiny":

"Even if it’s tiny, it’s not going to just disappear. It’s probably going to be blown by the wind and get stuck in some corners, crevices or gratings that are difficult to reach and remove. If they collect water, they can also become breeding grounds for mosquitoes."

He ended with a call to not make their life more difficult:

"These landscape features are designed to beautify our environment and we have to maintain them well. Please do not make the workers’ job more challenging."

This is not the first time Baey has shared the challenges of workers' in the estate.

In a previous post, Baey explained that they were required to document their work.

The woman who plunged to her death from a bridge in Brazil was still alive right after the fall, according to a nurse who rushed over to try to save her.

The nurse, Rayza Dias, was at the scene when 21-year-old Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas took part in a rope-jumping activity that local police have now found to be unlicensed.

On Jun. 13, staff hurled de Freitas off Ponte do Esqueleto, a 40m-tall bridge, and allegedly forgot to attach a safety rope to her.

A very weak pulse

Despite being off-duty, Dias ran to the spot where de Freitas crashed at the base of the bridge, New York Post reported.

"I scraped my whole hand because there’s a steep slope down there and only one rope for us to climb down," she told Brazilian TV network Domingo Espetacular on Jun. 14.

"I even talked to her. I have a habit of joking and saying, 'Nobody dies on my shift.' And I told her, '[Eduarda], nobody dies on my shift.' Even though I wasn’t on my shift there," she recalled, getting emotional.

The 26-year-old nurse told the police she provided first aid to de Freitas, News.com.au reported.

"She was giving that post-death sigh," she added. "I picked her up, checked, and she had a very weak pulse. I started CPR and it stopped."

Emergency services later pronounced her dead at the scene.

Investigation

In a video circulating online, the men who hurled de Freitas off a bridge wore shirts bearing certain names.

According to local police, these were the names of informal groups of enthusiasts that conducted rope-jumping and were not part of officially registered companies, Brazilian news outlet g1 reported.

The police said the group did not have any authorisation to conduct rope-jumping activities at the bridge.

The three men who prepared the woman for the rope jumping have been arrested and charged with homicide with intent.

They claimed not to remember whose responsibility it was to attach the rope, nor why a final inspection was not carried out before pushing the victim.

Singapore Cruise Centre, currently housed in the soon-to-close Harbourfront Centre, will move its operations to the new Harbourfront passenger terminal this July.

Batam Fast Ferry will be the first to commence operations from the new terminal on Jul. 7.

The remaining ferry operators — Horizon Fast Ferry, Majestic Fast Ferry, Sindo Ferry and Indo Falcon Shipping & Travel — as well as cruise operations, will follow from Jul. 15.

New terminal located right beside current one

The new terminal is located just 70 metres away from the existing terminal, in a red terracotta building at 5 HarbourFront Avenue, Singapore 099549.

It is located directly across the entrance of Reef at King's Dock condominium and behind Harbourfront Tower 2, facing the sea.

Passengers can reach the terminal via Harbourfront MRT Station Exit B or other public transport options in the area.

Sheltered walkways will link the new terminal to the MRT station and Vivocity.

No changes to ferry routes and scheduling

In a press release, Singapore Cruise Centre said there are no changes to ferry routes, destinations served or scheduling as a result of the move.

Ferry and cruise berth locations also remain unchanged.

The new passenger terminal features upgraded infrastructure and "technology-enabled services".

There will also be F&B and supporting convenience retail and money changers in the terminal.

Further details on the terminal's full suite of amenities and offerings will be announced at its official opening later this year, Singapore Cruise Centre said.

"As this is a new location and building, passengers are encouraged to arrive earlier, to familiarise themselves with the new terminal and its services," it also advised.

In October 2025, it was announced that Harbourfront Centre, which houses the current ferry passenger terminal, will undergo redevelopment into a 33-storey, mixed-use property featuring office and retail spaces and an elevated park that stretches towards the waterfront.

The redevelopment is expected to commence in the second half of 2026.
