Flowers and notes have been left at the scene of the Oct. 29 Tampines hit-and-run accident, where a married couple, both aged 24, died.

Mothership had previously reported that the wife was one month pregnant with their second child.

The couple was laid to rest next to each other at Choa Chu Kang Muslim Cemetery on Oct. 30.

They left behind a six-year-old son. Over S$429,000 has been raised on a Give.Asia fundraiser as of 11:30am on Nov. 2 to support the orphaned boy.

Notes and bouquets

Members of the public left bouquets lining the pavement, accompanied by notes reading "rest in peace".

One of the bouquets also held a note written in Chinese that appeared to be written by Lee Tay Lang, known by his ordained name Venerable Shi Fa Rong, a Buddhist monk who prays for victims of accidents and tragedies.

When Mothership visited the scene on the evening of Nov. 1, some of the victims' friends stood vigil.

The accident

The accident involved two cars and a motorcycle.

Eyewitnesses reportedly saw the couple on the motorcycle flung into the air after a blue Audi crashed through the centre divider and pummelled into the motorcycle, before hitting another car.

Authorities were alerted to the accident at Tampines Avenue 12 around 10:35pm.

The public freed the pair trapped in the Audi only to watch them flee towards the nearby blocks.

Traffic police officers established the identities of the couple, consisting of a man aged 30 and a woman aged 29, using police cameras, CCTV footage and extensive ground enquiries.

On Oct. 30, they were arrested in the vicinity of West Coast Road.

A 30-year-old man has been charged with dangerous driving causing death alongside eight other charges, including driving under disqualification as a repeat offender, failing to render assistance, and displaying a false licence plate.

A 36-year-old Malaysian man was seen slapping a woman in a Kuala Lumpur shopping mall on Nov. 1.

According to Sinar Daily, he allegedly did so after the unknown woman shoved his seven-year-old son from behind, causing him to fall, and hit the back of his two-year-old daughter.

The family was walking around the mall.

In a viral clip shared on Threads, the man is seen confronting a woman in a yellow top and black skirt, while mall security guards stand around them and try to defuse the situation.

After a few seconds, he stepped forward and pushed her back, prompting her to hit him twice on the chest and face.

He then slapped her in the face, causing her to stumble back and fall to the ground.

In the second video shared in the post, the man is seen being held back by police officers as he continues to shout in the woman's direction.

Why did this happen?

Another user shared a WhatsApp conversation purportedly between the man in the video and a friend.

It explained that the woman in yellow pushed his son and slapped his daughter.

In the background of the video, the man's son, dressed in a blue shirt and brown pants, can be seen crying while two women comfort him.

Malaysian police said that they received a report from the man on Nov. 1, reported Bernama.

He told the police that he was walking around the mall at 3pm with his two-year-old daughter and seven-year-old son when the woman suddenly approached them from behind.

She allegedly pushed his son to the ground and hit his daughter on the head.

The police added that they were investigating the incident and called on the public to refrain from speculating.

Another post claimed that the woman had slapped her friend in the face and walked away, right before the incident with the man occurred.

The man accused of stabbing another man to death in Telok Blangah Heights was brought back to the crime scene on Nov. 2.

Gabriel Foong Shi Cheng, 32, was charged in court for murder.

A 73-year-old man died after being stabbed on Oct. 5 evening near Block 61 Telok Blangah Heights.

A 53-year-old man was also allegedly injured by Foong.

Scene visit

Foong arrived at the scene for the visit at around 9:15am.

Prior to this arrival, police officers cordoned off the area around the block where the incident allegedly happened.

He was accompanied by investigation officers and dressed in a red polo shirt, dark blue shorts, and transparent slippers.

His hands and legs were in restraints.

He was seen pointing at the ground at one point and spoke to the investigation officers at the scene.

Investigation officers marked out certain areas.

Foong remained expressionless as investigators asked questions and brought him around the area.

The visit lasted around 15 minutes before he was brought back to the police van.

Background

Police said they received multiple calls for assistance on Oct. 5 at about 6pm at Block 61 Telok Blangah Heights.

On arrival, they found the 73-year-old motionless.

He later died at the hospital.

A doctor from the nearby clinic who attended to the 73-year-old shared that the man had suffered injuries to his neck and chest areas.

A 53-year-old was also injured by Foong and had a wound on his left shoulder.

He was conveyed conscious to the hospital.

According to the police, Foong later turned himself in.

Eyewitnesses shared that the two injured men ran from the direction of Block 56 to the Block 61 coffee shop.

Help was then sought from the doctor at a nearby general practitioner clinic.

Residents of an apartment complex in Geylang raised concerns after allegedly seeing multiple men entering and leaving a unit.

A woman would often be seen picking the men up from the ground floor and bringing them up, leading to concerns that the unit was being used as an illegal brothel.

The complaints led to the landlord requesting an inspection of the unit.

However, its tenant disappeared the next day.

Suspicions

According to Shin Min Daily News, the real estate agent who made the rental transaction at the Guillemard Road unit, 46-year-old Lim Yao Hui, said the tenant was a Singapore permanent resident in his 30s.

The tenant had been given the keys to the unit at the beginning of September. "There was nothing suspicious about it," said Lim.

However, about 10 days after the lease began, neighbours reported seeing a woman bringing people into the unit daily, mostly middle-aged men.

It was especially noticeable as she would have to bring them up in person due to a faulty intercom system.

Lim called the tenant directly to ask if illegal activities were being conducted in the unit, but the tenant denied it, Shin Min reported.

He also claimed that the male visitors were colleagues who were there to attend meetings, while the woman was a part-time cleaner he had engaged.

Lim found this suspicious as the men would leave one at a time, instead of as a group.

As there was no concrete evidence at the time, he and the landlord decided to continue observing the unit's activities.

Witnessed woman bringing men up

Later, a neighbour was able to film a woman bringing a man into the unit.

On Sep. 30, Lim and the landlord witnessed the same scene at the apartment.

He contacted the tenant again, informing him of the complaints and stating that he would inspect the unit on Oct. 2.

Lim said he was worried that something might happen to the tenant, so he called the police on the day of the inspection.

However, they found the apartment empty.

Condoms and lubricants found

A police report was made, and the tenant's one-year lease was terminated on suspicion that he was involved in illegal prostitution.

His deposit would also be forfeited, and he was required to return to retrieve his personal belongings.

The empty apartment was reportedly strewn with condoms and lubricants.

Two mattresses in the room were also covered in stains and had to be replaced.

Lim said it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, though it was apparently not uncommon, according to his colleagues.

He declined to comment on whether new tenants had moved into the unit, but reminded landlords to pay attention to tenants' behaviours when renting out property.

Signs can include tenants being in a hurry to rent the unit without asking for details, or insisting on paying the rental and deposit in cash, he said.

A 47-year-old hawker briefly touched on how he had been helping an elderly man who had been coming to his stall for years.

In a Facebook post on Oct. 16, second-generation hawker Melvin Chew, who is the owner of Jin Ji Teochew Braised Duck and Kway Chap at Chinatown Complex and the founder of the Facebook group Hawkers United, said the elderly man comes weekly for “free kway chap, after eating give him $5”.

“Recently he want eat pig blood. Just give la lol. 🫶,” the post caption read.

Reception

The post has garnered positive reactions, with commenters praising Chew for his actions.

“Thank you for your graciousness towards this elderly man 👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼”, one comment read.

“Your kindness will be rewarded”, another read.

Newspaper seller

In response to Mothership's queries, Chew said he had known the elderly man when he sold newspapers at Tiong Bahru Market.

“After some time, we give him some kopi money for him to buy drinks. Been visiting my stall for over 10 years,” Chew said.

Chew added that they would give him additional money to buy food.

“There's a time when he walk pass my stall. He wanna eat kway chap, and he only want braised egg, salted veg and tau pok. So I treat him eat. Then he come once or twice a week,” he recalled.

Chew continued to treat the elderly man as he “doesn't ask for much”.

Positive vibes

When asked how he felt about being praised for his actions, Chew said he felt blessed as social media can be “toxic”.

“Happy to see many positive comments and sending positive vibes to people,” he said.

He added that he would be happy if his actions encouraged more people to help the needy.

Former Member of Parliament (MP) Amrin Amin's 2026 Halloween costume has sparked quite a conversation.

Amrin posted a picture of his costume on his social media while attending the Chip Bee Gardens Halloween street party on Oct. 31.

He shared that he was dressed as a foodpanda delivery rider, wearing a foodpanda shirt and a pink helmet.

He added that he was "still waiting for [his] delivery backpack".

He ended the post stating that "real riders keep our orders coming, through heat, rain or haze".

"Go easy on the ratings if they're running a little late. Much respect."

Criticism

Some online users criticised Amrin's costume, arguing that it is people's jobs and his post came across as "tone deaf".

However, others pointed out that it is common to see others dress up as various occupations, like doctors and nurses.

Mothership has reached out to Amrin for his comments.

Several patches of oil have been sighted in waters off Pulau Sebarok, Pulau Semakau and Selat Pauh, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said on Nov. 1.

The MPA said it was alerted to a sighting of oil in the waters off Pulau Sebarok at about 10:25am on Nov. 1.

Its aerial surveillance subsequently confirmed several patches of oil off Pulau Sebarok, Pulau Semakau and Selat Pauh. No oil patches were sighted near West Coast, Sentosa, the Southern Islands or the East Coast during the surveillance.

The MPA has activated its oil spill response contractors, and terminals in the area have been directed to deploy spill response resources.

Relevant agencies have also been alerted to take precautionary measures to protect the shorelines, if necessary. Ships in port have been asked to report any sightings of oil patches.

The MPA said there is no impact on navigational traffic and port operations.

It is continuing its surveillance, working with agencies and terminals to mitigate and clean up the oil patches, and investigating the source of the oil.

An ex-Japanese adult film star and DJ was admitted to intensive care in Hong Kong after she was allegedly drugged in a nightclub where she was working.

On Nov. 1, Mao Hamasaki's manager posted two photos on her Facebook page with a caption stating that she was drugged while working.

In a subsequent post, the manager shared that initial tests showed that there are four types of drugs in Hamasaki's system and she is currently under observation in the intensive care unit.

"This was my own failure. I'm truly sorry for worrying everyone," the manager added.

According to Dimsum Daily, Hamasaki had finished up a DJ set at a restaurant when someone approached her to continue playing at a private spot in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The manager said she declined because they do not accept private gigs, but the person complained that it was disrespectful.

The person insisted that they only wanted her to play another set and assured the manager that no one would touch her.

The manager apparently agreed, and at the location, Hamasaki was made to drink after losing a game.

Hamasaki thought the forfeit drink was whisky, and when the manager tried it, he believed it was a cocktail, Dimsum Daily stated.

The manager says that the drink could have been spiked.

According to local media reports, police investigations are ongoing.

A woman in Chiang Mai, Thailand, was found dead in an irrigation canal a day after she went missing.

Niraphon, 25, was last seen by her father leaving her home to buy food on Oct. 30, reported Khaosod English.

She was reportedly a health worker in Fang District, Chiang Mai.

CCTV footage showed her riding her motorcycle to a shop near her home and leaving afterwards, but she was never seen reaching the main road.

After her family was unable to contact her, they reported her missing.

After the police and rescue workers searched smaller roads and areas around the shop, Niraphon's body was found in an irrigation canal near the shop at about 3:30pm on Oct. 31, alongside her motorcycle.

One possibility police brought up was that she may have accidentally ridden her motorcycle into the canal and sustained fatal injuries.

However, the cause of death has yet to be determined.

According to Khaosod, investigators will question relatives, her boyfriend and other witnesses, as well as review additional CCTV footage.

Investigations are underway.
