  1. A personal trainer was allegedly banned from 24/7 Fitness after repeated warnings, prompting him to take to social media to rant about how the gym was hiring “fat f*cks”.

    Nihal, who goes by @bookofhamid on TikTok, previously made headlines on after claiming that his Anytime Fitness (AF) membership was revoked when he removed his shirt at one of the franchise’s outlets to “check himself out”.

    Less than two weeks later, he posted another video alleging that he was asked to leave an AF outlet in Tampines after assisting an acquaintance to train at the gym.

     

    On May 20, Nihal said in a TikTok post that he was banned from 24/7 Fitness — another popular gym franchise — describing the incident as “f*cking diabolical”.

    The personal trainer says that he had been helping his sister’s colleague train at a 24/7 Fitness outlet at Seletar, insisting that he was training alongside the gym companion, unlike two previous instances where he was “standing there” and “not doing anything”.

    He adds that he had received a warning from the gym, informing him that he had to be exercising with his friend.

    According to the gym’s website, unauthorised personal training is not allowed within the premises.

    During a subsequent workout, Nihal said he made an effort to sync his workout with his friend.

    “I was, of course, helping him, but I was gymming as well,” he says, adding that there was CCTV footage of the session.

     

    TikToker embroiled in confrontation with staff

    However, he alleges that the gym had sent him a one-minute clip of him resting after spotting his friend, which cuts off before he commences his set.

    Suggesting that it was normal for gym-goers to rest for more than two minutes between sets, Nihal says he had attempted to reason with an employee, saying that it was “never against the rules”.

    Nihal further alleges that he was accused of “hiding the fact that (he) was training” despite wearing a Garmin watch — a smartwatch and fitness tracker — that showed his heart rate was up to 120 beats per minute, suggesting that he had been exercising.

     

    Using derogatory phrases to address the staff members, he calls one of the employees “one fat dude”.

    “My point that I would like to make across all fitness gyms in Singapore, every single gym: Stop hiring fat f*cks,” he says.

    “I don’t know why, because the fatter these motherf*ckers are, the dumber their brains be.”

    In another post later that day, he shared a video of a message allegedly sent from the 24/7 Fitness outlet at Our Tampines Hub, instructing him to take down CCTV footage of the incident or a police report would be filed.

    Stomp has reached out to Bookofhamid and 24/7 Fitness for more information.

    Netizens divided

    In the comments, some netizens backed him, while others disapproved of his tone.

    “I stand with you💯💯,” said one supporter, while another urged Nihal to “Sue them”.

    Others also wondered which gym Nihal would be “getting banned from next”.

    However, one called out the way he shared the experience.

    “You can explain. But don’t use vulgar words. People won’t respect your point,” the netizen wrote.

    In response to a comment suggesting other gyms he could patronise, Nihal replied: “Maybe I should start a challenge to see if I can get banned in every gym in SG then open up my own gym.”

    The number of Covid-19 cases rose to 12,700 in the week of May 10 to 16, compared with 8,000 in the previous week, said the Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA).

    It added in a statement on May 21 that the average number of daily Covid-19 hospitalisations rose from 56 to 73 during the same period, with one case in the Intensive Care Unit daily on average.

    The public acute hospitals can manage the increase in cases, the agency added.

    CDA said that it is monitoring this increase in infections in Singapore.

    “As with other endemic respiratory diseases, periodic Covid-19 waves are expected throughout the year,” the agency said.

    “There is no indication that the variants circulating locally are more transmissible or cause more severe disease compared with previously circulating variants.”

    The increase could be due to several factors, including waning population immunity, the agency added.

    The NB.1.8.1 variant is the main variant circulating here, accounting for more than half of locally sequenced cases.

    The current vaccine is still effective against the current variant, said CDA.

    Those at increased risk of severe Covid-19 infection, such as those aged 60 years and above, including those staying in aged care facilities, and medically vulnerable people aged six months and above, should have up-to-date vaccinations, CDA added.

    Healthcare workers and those living or working with medically vulnerable people are also encouraged to receive the vaccine, said CDA.

    Others aged six months and above who want the Covid-19 vaccine may continue to do so.

    The CDA advised the public to take precaution and practise personal and social responsibility by maintaining good personal hygiene, minimising social interactions and unnecessary travel when unwell and wearing a mask when displaying Covid symptoms.

  3. Thai police and the Food and Drug Administration raided a large warehouse in Pathum Thani province and seized more than 2,000 illegal hair dye products. The incident was caused by a Thai consumer who bought a so-called "100% natural herbal hair dye" in TikTok. As a result, he developed a severe allergy after using it for only 5 minutes. His scalp was swollen, pus was discharged, and his hair fell out a lot. He was sent to the hospital for treatment. The police investigation found that the brand involved did not have a Thai registration license or a Thai label. The warehouse manager confessed that a Chinese woman was responsible for running TikTok store and arranging the delivery behind the scenes. After the consumer rights protection news was exposed, the relevant store had been urgently closed and lost contact. At present, the Thai police and the Food and Drug Administration are further investigating whether it contains banned chemical ingredients

     

     

     

  4. Popular Vietnamese social media influencer Dan Thy has shocked fans after revealing she has been diagnosed with blood cancer at just 23 years old.

    The influencer, whose real name is Pham Tuong Lan Thy, shared the emotional news in a tearful video posted online, where she appeared visibly exhausted and struggled to hold back tears while speaking about her health battle.

    Dan Thy, who has amassed more than 11 million followers on TikTok through beauty transformations and makeup content, said she decided to go public because her condition may prevent her from consistently updating her social media platforms in the future.

    During the three-minute video, she also opened up about her unhealthy lifestyle over the past several years while building her online career.

    According to Dan Thy, she frequently stayed awake until 6 or 7 in the morning producing short-form video content and managing her social media accounts, leaving her with a completely reversed sleep schedule.

    Even more alarming, she admitted she had barely consumed plain water over the past three years, instead relying heavily on sugary drinks such as bubble tea and matcha lattes.

    The influencer revealed she regularly drank four to five cups of sweet beverages daily.

    Despite her unhealthy habits, Dan Thy said she never smoked or consumed alcohol and previously believed her young age meant her body could “handle it”.

    She admitted she was caught completely off guard by the diagnosis and now realises the long-term consequences of neglecting her health.

    Known for her candid personality online, Dan Thy had previously spoken openly about undergoing cosmetic surgery at the age of 16.

    Now facing what she described as a long and difficult treatment journey, she said she wanted to document her current appearance before chemotherapy potentially changes her physical features and causes hair loss.

    Dan Thy stressed that her decision to share the diagnosis publicly was not meant to gain sympathy, but rather to warn young people who ignore unhealthy lifestyles and push their bodies beyond their limits.

    The news quickly spread across Vietnamese social media, with thousands of fans flooding her accounts with supportive messages and prayers.

    At the same time, her story has sparked wider discussions among young people about poor sleeping habits, excessive sugary drink consumption and the growing importance of maintaining a healthier lifestyle despite demanding online careers.

    A Tampines resident was alarmed when he heard two loud explosions at around 5am on May 20 and realised there was a fire happening three storeys above his home.

    Stomper Anonymous, who lives on the seventh floor of Block 366 Tampines Street 34, shared footage of the fire on the 10th storey.

    “I thought the explosions were from nearby construction works,” said the Stomper.

     

    “Then the police knocked on my door and asked us to evacuate and proceed to the ground floor. I could smell the burning soot but was still able to breathe.”

    The Stomper recalled being filled with panic as he and his wife hurried to the ground floor.

     

    “I wasn’t scared, but feared the fire might spread rapidly to my unit,” he explained.

     

    The Stomper was also terrified for his neighbours, and felt sad that their home and possessions were damaged.

    He said he saw a neighbour from the ninth floor attempting to use two fire extinguishers to help put out the blaze, but the fire appeared to be “too strong”.

    “At about 8.30am after the fire died out, the police allowed residents to return, but in batches according to unit number,” the Stomper shared, adding that those further away from the affected unit were allowed to return first.

    SCDF: 30 residents evacuated, 2 persons sent to hospital

     

    The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed that it was alerted to the fire at around 5.35am.

    “The fire, which involved the living room and kitchen in a 10th-floor unit, was extinguished by SCDF using two water jets,” an SCDF spokesperson said.

    Two occupants from the affected unit had evacuated before SCDF’s arrival, and about 30 other residents evacuated as a precautionary measure.

    “A person from a neighbouring unit was conveyed to Singapore General Hospital due to smoke inhalation.

    “During the firefighting operation, a firefighter experienced discomfort on his right leg. He was conveyed to Changi General Hospital as a precautionary measure,” added the spokesperson.

    The cause of the fire is under investigation.

    In its statement, SCDF also said the top three causes of fires in residential premises are:

    • unattended cooking
    • electrical faults
    • unattended lighted materials

    Residents should prevent such fires by not leaving cooking unattended, avoid overloading power sockets and refrain from charging devices overnight without supervision.

    Lighted materials such as incense or cigarettes should never left be unattended, and must be fully extinguished before disposal.

  6. SINGAPORE: Stamford Catering Services was fined S$8,000 on Wednesday (May 20) for food safety lapses after over 180 people fell ill with gastroenteritis symptoms on two occasions.

    The Ministry of Health (MOH) and Singapore Food Agency (SFA) had in October 2024 received reports of a gastroenteritis outbreak affecting 160 people who had eaten food catered by the company, SFA said in a statement.

     

    A joint inspection of Stamford Catering’s premises at 24A Senoko South Road was conducted by MOH and SFA officers, during which several food safety lapses were identified.

    Some of the lapses included stagnant water within the premises, dirty ceiling of a walk-in chiller, and electrical sockets found without covers that had food stains and could potentially harbour pests.

     

    Initial news reports said that 51 people had fallen ill and the food caterer was being investigated for three incidents of gastroenteritis.

    None of those affected were hospitalised, and they had either sought outpatient treatment or self-medicated.

    Gastroenteritis symptoms include diarrhoea and vomiting.

    SFA said it suspended Stamford Catering’s food business operations between Oct 14 and Oct 29, 2024.

    The suspension was lifted on Oct 30, 2024 as the company had implemented the required measures stipulated by SFA.

    In February 2025, SFA received another two reports of alleged gastroenteritis incidents involving 22 people who ate food catered by the company.

    Food safety lapses were found during SFA’s inspection of its premises.

    These included a dirty food warmer, drink dispenser and ice maker, dirty ceiling boards at the kitchen area, as well as brown stains dripping from the exhaust hood.

    SFA has directed the company to rectify the lapses and take necessary measures to improve the cleanliness of its premises.

    According to its website, Stamford Catering has catered for weddings, corporate events, and sports events such as the 28th SEA Games in 2015.

    In 2019, Stamford Catering’s food hygiene grade was lowered from “A” to “C” after 52 people suffered food poisoning.

    The company now has a 4.5 rating out of five on Google, and over 1,500 reviews.

    In its statement, the agency said food safety is a joint responsibility as food can be contaminated anywhere along the food chain.

    “While SFA continues to be vigilant and works to ensure that the regulatory measures are in place and properly enforced, the industry and consumers should also play their part,” it added.

    SFA said that food establishments should ensure their premises are clean and well-maintained, as well as adhere to proper food hygiene and food safety requirements.

    Those who flout such rules could be fined up to $5,000, and those who continue to do so even after being convicted could be fined up $100 for each day or part thereof.

    Members of the public who come across poor food safety practices in food establishments are advised not to patronise them and provide feedback via SFA’s online feedback form with details for follow-up investigations. - The Straits Times/ANN
