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.

Malaysian Clerk Jailed for Donating Stolen $38K to Douyin Idols

A 20-year-old Malaysian woman was sentenced to four months’ jail on July 10, 2025, after dishonestly misappropriating more than S$38,000 from her employer, a local recycling firm. The funds were not used for debt repayment as she initially claimed, but instead were donated to Chinese livestreamers on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok. Chew Yu En pleaded guilty to one count of dishonest misappropriation as an employee under Singapore law. A second charge for falsifying payment voucher entries was taken into consideration. Chew started working at Sin Le Heng Recycling in June 2024 as a clerk, drawing a monthly salary of S$2,300.

At Sin Le Heng, Chew’s responsibilities included issuing payments to customers who brought in items for recycling. These payments were made from the company's petty ca...

Workshop Owner Fined for Installing Illegal Tinted Car Windows

A workshop owner has been convicted for illegally modifying vehicle windows by installing non-compliant tinted films. This case serves as a reminder that excessive tinting can impair visibility, leading to safety risks on the road. The sole proprietor of a workshop, operating under the name “Stealth Film Workz Pte Ltd,” was found guilty of installing illegal tinted films on vehicle windscreens and windows. The modifications, which were carried out between 2023 and 2024, violated the regulations set under the Road Traffic Act 1961. According to the law, all vehicles must adhere to minimum visible light transmittance (VLT) levels to ensure that drivers maintain proper visibility. Excessively darkened windows can reduce a driver’s ability to see pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles, especially in low-light conditions. This increases the likelihood of accidents. The authorities emphasized that workshops engaging in such illegal modifications are not only endangering motorists bu...

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) responded promptly to the emergency, which was reported at around 7:25pm. The fire originated from one of the bedrooms in a unit on the 23rd floor and resulted in four individuals being hospitalised.
