A customer was left unsatisfied after his $4.20 chicken rice was "one-fifth filled with rice, with a few slices of meat". Expressing his unhappiness on Reddit on Monday (Jan 22), the customer who goes by the username, dimethylpolysiloxane, shared that he bought the packet of chicken rice from Broadway Coffeeshop located at Tampines North Drive. Expecting a reasonable serving size for the price paid, dimethylpolysiloxane was taken aback when he saw the meagre portion of the chicken rice. "Bought my first take out in 2024, I know GST rose by 1 per cent, but the amount decreased by 40 per cent!" Sharing an image of the chicken rice served, dimethylpolysiloxane wrote that the meal could be finished in three spoonfuls. "I understand prices will increase due to inflation but your portion went from 100 to 50? The styrofoam box not even half full of rice," he wrote. Netizens flooded the comments section of the post, equally appalled by the serving size of the $4.20 chicken rice. A Redditor even wrote: "Looks like secondary school canteen stall's chicken rice." PHOTO: Screengrab/Reddit/r/Singapore Others, meanwhile, suggested alternative places where one could get affordable chicken rice.

PHOTO: Screengrab/Reddit/r/Singapore In response to the comments, dimethylpolysiloxane said that he didn't want to confront the staff as he only realised the serving size when he reached home. "I'm in a new estate so the nearest store is like 10-15 mins walk away. To and fro is 30 mins," he added. AsiaOne has reached out to dimethylpolysiloxane for comment.

SINGAPORE – A Secondary 4 student who considered himself a white supremacist after being radicalised by online far-right extremist propaganda was handed a restriction order under the Internal Security Act (ISA) in November 2023. Although he is ethnically Chinese, the 16-year-old aspired to conduct attacks overseas to further the white supremacist cause. He had no plans to conduct any attacks in Singapore. He is the second Singaporean to be dealt with under the ISA for being radicalised by far-right extremist ideologies, said the Internal Security Department (ISD) on Jan 24. It also stated that the first youth, now 19, was released from detention in January after close to three years. For the 16-year-old, the restriction order means he must comply with several conditions. These include not being allowed to change his residence or travel out of Singapore, access the Internet or social media and issue public statements, without the approval of the director of ISD. “At the point of (the) investigation, he strongly identified as a white supremacist and pro-white sympathiser, and hoped to be recruited for violent attacks by white supremacist groups overseas to ‘fight for the whites’,” said ISD. Explaining how the 16-year-old became radicalised, ISD said he had chanced upon videos by foreign far-right political commentator and white supremacist Paul Nicholas Miller and was exposed to violent extremist material online in 2022. Miller advocates for a race war and has been tied to multiple far-right extremist organisations overseas, including the Proud Boys and the Boogaloo movement. By early 2023, the youth had developed an intense hatred of communities targeted by far-right extremists, including African Americans, Arabs and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals. He believed African Americans were responsible for a significant percentage of crime in the US, and deserved to “die a horrible death”, said ISD. The youth also perceived illegal Arab immigrants as having committed violent attacks against white populations in Western countries and subscribed to the Great Replacement Theory commonly referenced by far-right terrorists like Christchurch attacker Brenton Tarrant. The theory propagates that the indigenous white population in Western countries are in danger of being replaced by non-white immigrants. Such ethno-nationalist beliefs convinced him that non-white communities such as African Americans and Arabs should be driven away from white-majority countries, said ISD. The youth participated in far-right online chat groups and channels, where he shared violent anti-African American videos, as doing so gave him a sense of belonging to the white supremacist community. He considered travelling to Western countries such as France, Italy, the US, and Russia to participate in attacks against the vilified communities, and also expressed interest in a far-right online chat group to conduct a mass shooting in the US in 10 years’ time. However, ISD said he did not take steps to actualise his attack aspirations beyond searching online for weapons, because he lacked the money and know-how to do so. The youth had not planned to conduct attacks in Singapore as he felt these communities had not caused trouble here, said ISD. While on a restriction order, the youth will have to undergo a rehabilitation programme aimed at countering the violent extremist ideologies he had imbibed online. It will help him learn that his racial supremacist views are incompatible with Singapore’s multi-racial and multi-religious society, ISD said. He will receive counselling by ISD psychologists to address his propensity for violence and the factors that make him vulnerable to radical influences. Such factors include the regulation of his emotions and identity issues, which fuelled his desire to identify as a white supremacist and be part of a like-minded, seemingly powerful group. ISD case officers will work with his family and school to ensure that he has sufficient support. He has also been assigned two mentors who will provide him with guidance and cyber-wellness skills. ISD said it is working with partners such as the Inter-Agency Aftercare Group to explore community-based programmes which will equip him with pro-social skills. On the 19-year-old who was recently released from detention, ISD said he was issued a suspension direction in January 2024. This is a ministerial direction to suspend the detention order. It can be revoked and the individual detained again if he does not comply with any of the conditions, which are similar to those of a restriction order. The youth was 16 when he was detained in December 2020 after he made detailed plans to conduct terrorist attacks using a machete against Muslims at two mosques in Singapore. ISD said the youth, a Protestant Christian, went through an intensive rehabilitation programme during his three-year detention and has been receptive to these efforts. He now rejects far-right extremist ideas and the use of violence. “He no longer harbours any animosity towards Muslims, and has internalised the importance of racial and religious harmony in Singapore,” said ISD. While he was under detention, ISD worked with the National Council of Churches of Singapore to arrange for a Christian pastor to counsel him and address his extremist mindset, which included the misguided belief that Christians were under attack by Muslims. The youth also saw a psychologist from the ISD, and three mentors – two volunteers from the Religious Rehabilitation Group (RRG) and his former secondary school teacher. Among other things, they helped him work on his self-esteem, his permissive attitude towards violence, and the socio-psychological factors that contributed to his radicalisation. The youth’s family also played a key role in his rehabilitation, as their weekly visits and words of encouragement motivated him to stay on track with his rehabilitation. ISD also arranged for him to sit the GCE N Level and GCE O Level examinations while in detention. He received weekly lessons from at least five tutors, including MOE-trained teachers who are Religious Rehabilitation Group (RRG) volunteers. He intends to continue studying after his release. ISD said it will continue to work with his family, school, and other rehabilitation stakeholders to ease his reintegration into society. With two youths here radicalised by far-right extremist ideology, ISD said there is a need to remain vigilant. “Far-right ideologies, which often espouse white supremacist, anti-Islam, xenophobic and anti-immigration beliefs, can be adapted to fit the Singaporean landscape. One example is by advocating for the superiority of specific communities, through the lens of cultural, ethnoreligious, or nationalist supremacy,” it added. ISD said that such divisive rhetoric can create deep societal divides, amplify prejudices, and encourage acts of violence against minorities. It urged members of the public to be vigilant to signs that others have become radicalised. These signs include frequently surfing radical websites; posting extremist views on social media platforms; sharing extremist views with friends and relatives; making remarks that promote ill-will or hatred towards people of other races or religions; expressing intent to participate in acts of violence overseas or in Singapore and inciting others to participate in acts of violence. Those who suspect a person has been radicalised can call the ISD Counter-Terrorism Centre hotline on 1800-2626-473 (1800-2626-ISD).

SINGAPORE - The shelving of plans to phase out older adult public transport payment cards was met with relief by public transport users, who said they were glad their concerns were heard. But some felt the aborted exercise was ultimately redundant, and expressed frustration at the inconvenience they had to bear to update their ez-link cards. Observers said the shelving of plans to move towards SimplyGo, an account-based ticketing platform, on Jan 22 exposed issues with the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) communication strategy and lack of preparedness. Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat said the authorities will spend an extra $40 million to allow commuters to continue using older ez-link and Nets FlashPay cards, which operate on an old card-based ticketing system. He said LTA will allow those who updated their ez-link cards to SimplyGo between Jan 9 and 22 to exchange them for those that rely on the card-based system for free. This would allow them to view fare information and their card’s balance when they tap out from a bus or MRT stop – something SimplyGo cannot yet do. Ms Valerie Lim, 25, will be among those making the switch back to a non-SimplyGo card. The engineering undergraduate updated her ez-link card to be compatible with SimplyGo on Jan 21. Ms Lim said she prefers to be able to see her card balance at fare gates and bus card readers, so she knows how much she spends. “The Government should have thought about the public’s opinion before coming up with this type of policy, as they have to understand that some of us prefer to use normal ez-link cards or might not have access to technology,” she added. Ms Claudine Ho, 51, a medical industry administrator, said it took her husband three tries at three locations before he could update his senior concession card so it could work with SimplyGo. She added: “If LTA wants to roll out a new system, make sure people on the ground can manage.” Insurance manager Madeline Tan, 51, uses a SimplyGo card, but said she does not support LTA’s transition plan as she was concerned some people would not know how to use the SimplyGo app to check their card balance. Mr Daniel Cheng, 30, a food-and-beverage employee, said he switched to SimplyGo and has no plans to go back. He added: “All I need to do is to check the app for the balance in my card; it is not a big deal to me. I can see why people were upset over the Government making the change compulsory. I am glad they changed it back.” In response to queries, LTA said it carried out market testing and focus-group discussions with adult commuters and concession card holders before finalising its SimplyGo transition plan. It said it decided to make all adult commuters switch to SimplyGo only after it found that two in three adult fare transactions were made using the platform. In 2021, LTA issued account-based transit cards to more than 1,000 concession card holders as part of a trial. The general feedback was supportive, and LTA said these concession card holders, including persons with disabilities, tertiary students and full-time national servicemen, did not mind that they could not immediately view fare deductions or their card balance. Parents of students also found the account-based system useful, as it allowed them to top up their children’s cards remotely. From its engagements, the group with the most concerns was seniors. Hence, LTA said it decided from the get-go that the card-based ticketing system would be extended for all concession card holders so they would not be affected by the broader switch to SimplyGo. Associate Professor Walter Theseira, head of the urban transportation programme at the Singapore University of Social Sciences, said the backlash against SimplyGo was the result of a policy blind spot. While SimplyGo may be a better system for many, the mistake was to assume that all commuters would like the account-based system, he added. LTA also did not explain thoroughly why it needed to phase out the card-based ticketing system, he said. On the extra $40 million that will be spent so commuters may continue using older cards, Prof Theseira said it was an avoidable expense but one worth paying to ensure they do not feel excluded from the public transport system. He said the authorities must ask themselves if they could have engaged the public better, and if there were more innovative ways to improve payments so people view account-based systems as a genuine upgrade. Dr Carol Soon, principal research fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies, whose research interests include digital and public engagement, highlighted several problems with the SimplyGo roll-out. For one thing, the lack of interoperability between SimplyGo cards and other payment systems, such as those for motoring expenses, spawned expectations of inconvenience. There also appeared to have been a lack of user-centricity at the product-design stage, and a failure to anticipate how different public segments would react to the roll-out. “This is not the pandemic when decisions have to be made and implemented with little time. Adequate time would or should have been put aside,” she said. Transport analyst Terence Fan from the Singapore Management University said it is evident that the logistics of the transition were not thought through. LTA said it carried out market testing and focus-group discussions with adult commuters and concession card holders before finalising its SimplyGo transition plan. PHOTO: ST FILE Assistant Professor Fan also noted that this was the second time in recent months that LTA had changed course in response to a public outcry. The first episode was in November 2023, when it reversed its decision to withdraw bus service 167. “Singapore’s public transport system as it stands is still world-class, but I think people are going to question the wisdom of LTA’s management going forward,” Prof Fan added. Looking ahead, he said LTA would eventually have to move to a single ticketing system, but the authority should make tweaks to make the system more palatable. “If they don’t show the card balance after every trip, can they at least show when your balance is low?” he asked.
