Teen Girls Grapple in HDB Block Fight, Onlookers Cheer

A fight between two teenage girls at the lift landing of an HDB block has drawn criticism after a video of the altercation surfaced online. The footage was posted on SGFollowsAll's Telegram page on Jan. 8, showing the girls grappling as three other teens — two females and a male — looked on.

The male youth, seated on a plastic chair near the lift, appeared to be orchestrating or supervising the fight. It is believed someone else was recording the incident.

The fight began with a girl in a white t-shirt wrestling her opponent, who was dressed in black, to the ground. The girl in white landed several blows, prompting retaliation from the girl in black. Applause followed, with the male youth commenting, "This is what I wanna see."

The roles reversed when the girl in black regained control, dragging her opponent down and striking her in return.

The video sparked widespread criticism. Viewers lamented the apparent normalization of such behavior among youths. While some expressed concerns about an increase in such incidents, others noted that the proliferation of smartphones and social media has made such fights more visible, even if they are not more frequent.

Authorities have not commented on the incident at this time, but the video has reignited discussions on youth behavior and the influence of social media on such antics.

Bukit Batok Resident Fined After Splashing Waste Outside Neighbour Flat

A 67-year-old Singaporean man named Martin Chua Kim Soon was fined 5,000 dollars by a court on September 22, 2026, after pleading guilty to two counts of insulting behaviour under the Protection from Harassment Act. The court heard that the accused paid the full fine following his conviction. At the time the offences took place, the accused was working as a private-hire driver for Tada and resided at a residential block located along Bukit Batok Central. The incident stemmed from a personal suspicion held by the accused regarding a 73-year-old lorry driver who lived in a neighboring block located directly across from his residence. The private-hire driver harbored a belief that the lorry driver had deliberately punctured his vehicle tyres, leading to a dispute between the two individuals in the same neighborhood. Driven by these suspicions, the accused carried out two separate acts targeting the victim's residence. The first incident occurred on April 28 at approximately 2:00 AM,...
