When Mr Daniel Tan and his wife made headlines last year for giving away 10,000 packets of chicken rice to healthcare workers right before the circuit breaker, it was not meant to be a one-off event.
This May Day, his hawker stall OK Chicken Rice will be treating Singaporeans to 1,000 free meals across its four outlets located at coffee shops in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8, St George s Road, Hougang Avenue 9 and Yishun Street 51.
Man who threw spit at random women for over a year jailed The photo shows only his hands holding the bars
SINGAPORE A woman was walking towards a lift lobby of a block at Yishun when she felt a warm liquid hitting her back.
She turned around to see a man fleeing. She later found out that the liquid that hit her back was Alias Talib s spit, which he had spat into his hand and thrown at her.
Alias, 56, was sentenced to three weeks jail on Thursday (15 April), after he pleaded guilty to using criminal force on the woman on 9 February last year. One charge of throwing spittle at another woman a week earlier, also in a void deck at Yishun, was taken into consideration for his sentencing.
SINGAPORE - A 72-year-old Singaporean man, who works as an aviation screening officer at Changi Airport Terminal 1, is among the three new Covid-19 unlinked community cases reported on Saturday (Jan 30).
He developed a cough and sore throat on Monday, the day he received his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, but he did not seek medical treatment.
His job involves screening the baggage of arrival passengers via X-ray scanners, and directing passengers to the baggage screening lines.
On Wednesday, he went to work and was tested as part of rostered routine testing (RRT), and his test results came back positive the next day.

SINGAPORE - What started as being a curious 16-year-old, wanting to be cool and fit in with friends quickly turned into a habit and today Chris is a full-blown, self-confessed smoking addict.
That is not his real name, and with reason: As of Friday (Jan 1), the full-time national serviceman, 20, became guilty of underage smoking.
The minimum legal age for buying and using tobacco products was raised from 20 to 21 on that day, after being upped from 18 to 19 in 2019 and then to 20 in 2020.

Time to do more to stub out smoking in Singapore?
The Jan 1 raising of the minimum age limit for smoking to 21 is the latest step to manage the harm of tobacco, following measures over the years to shrink the space you can take a puff in public. But some feel more needs to be done to weed out the habit.
