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.

Massive Evacuation in Tampines as SCDF Battles Smoke-Filled Apartment Fire

On the evening of January 9, 2026, a significant residential fire broke out in a Housing Board flat in Tampines, leading to a large-scale emergency response and the hospitalisation of a firefighter. The Singapore Civil Defence Force was alerted to the incident at Block 29 Tampines Street 86 at approximately 9:05pm. The fire originated within a unit located on the 15th floor of the block, creating a hazardous situation for residents and responders alike.

Singapore Responds to Lee Hsien Yang's 'International Smear Campaign

Lee Hsien Yang, son of Singapore’s founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, recently leveled accusations against the Singaporean government, asserting that the country has become more repressive and corrupt since his father's passing. In an interview with The Associated Press (AP), he claimed that a veneer of affluence masks growing oppression, corruption, and a lack of transparency. The Singapore government responded by labelling Lee’s comments as a “personal vendetta” and an international “smear campaign” that harms the legacy of Lee Kuan Yew. Officials cited that Lee Hsien Yang and his wife, Lee Suet Fern, were found by a disciplinary tribunal to have misled his father on his will’s execution. The couple left Singapore in 2022 after declining to cooperate in a police investigation into alleged false evidence relating to Lee Kuan Yew’s will. The government highlighted that Lee's asylum claim in the UK included an allegation that his family is being persecuted to prevent his so...

SCDF Saves 2 Workers Hanging 29 Storeys High on Raffles City Tower!

On 21 July 2025, two workers were rescued from a stuck gondola between the 28th and 29th floors of a building at 250 North Bridge Road (Raffles City Tower) in Singapore. The incident happened around 11:20am, prompting an immediate response from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). Upon arriving, firefighters quickly checked the gondola’s stability and ensured the workers’ safety while waiting for the Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) to deploy. DART operatives secured the gondola using safety lines before one of them descended to the platform. Both workers, who had safety harnesses on, were individually guided through windows on levels 29 and 30. The men were assessed by paramedics and taken to Raffles Hospital in stable condition. Thanks to the fast action by SCDF and DART, a potentially tragic incident was resolved without injuries. The cause of the gondola malfunction remains under review.
