  1. SINGAPORE – Tanjong Katong Complex, a landmark in the Geylang Serai Cultural Belt, is set to reopen fully by 2029, after a tender for the site was awarded on a 30-year lease. The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) on June 28 said that it awarded a tender for the site to Jun Jie Development, a company associated with The Elegant Group that runs Grantral Mall @ MacPherson and Changi City Point. SLA said in a statement that the winning concept for Tanjong Katong Complex features a multipurpose rooftop community deck and food garden, as well as art and heritage installations that showcase the history of the Geylang Serai precinct. In its submission, Jun Jie Development also proposed that the complex will host programmes put up with local partners, such as creative markets, wellness activities and cultural showcases. The company’s winning bid for the state property was $90,000,888, and topped two other submissions in a concept and price tender, which first assessed the quality of tenderers’ development concepts, before evaluating price. “Jun Jie Development was selected for its strong, community-centric proposal that reflects a sensitive yet forward-looking approach to placemaking and heritage integration,” said SLA. It said the evaluation process “placed significant emphasis on how well proposals could retain and enhance Tanjong Katong Complex’s identity as a community and cultural landmark, while delivering a high-quality, future-ready development”. At a Wisma Geylang Serai community event celebrating the dikir barat art form on June 28, Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Faishal Ibrahim said that the complex – including a planned extension – could reopen by 2029. “Jun Jie Development’s proposal stands out with its vision to transform Tanjong Katong Complex into a community heartbeat, where Malay traditions and heritage are upheld while creating an inclusive space for all segments of our diverse community,” said Associate Professor Faishal, who is Wisma Geylang Serai’s lead adviser. Speaking in Malay, he added that the complex will become a space to celebrate the arts, strengthen identity, and create memories for future generations.

Under the conditions of the tender, which was launched in October 2024, the winning developer is allowed to build an annex of up to five storeys tall, bringing the gross floor area of the entire rejuvenated complex to 30,166 sq m, including the existing building’s 19,000 sq m. Jun Jie Development has to set aside 3,600 sq m for the offices of community self-help group Mendaki and the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore, as well as 2,400 sq m for Geylang East Public Library, which will be relocated to the refreshed complex. The library is currently at a site near Aljunied MRT station. A further 1,500 sq m will have to be used for Malay cultural trades or Malay entrepreneurial incubation spaces, as part of efforts to preserve the cultural flavour that Tanjong Katong Complex has long been associated with. Mr Cheong said that Jun Jie Development is working with the Singapore Malay Chamber of Commerce and Industry to identify suitable tenants for this space, adding that it will likely be used to promote young Malay entrepreneurs. He added that the company also hopes to support the needs of the surrounding community by setting aside a unit for a low-cost clinic, which will be charged a token rental amount – possibly $1, he said. Mr Cheong said that while the refreshed space will showcase Malay culture and heritage, he hopes it will also bring together people of all races. “We would like people to mix. Having a ‘Malay mall’ defeats the purpose of Singapore’s multiracial society,” he said.

  7. SINGAPORE: A driver who caused the death of a female pillion rider during a racing game that went awry was jailed for five years and eight months on Friday (Jun 27). While driving along the East Coast Parkway (ECP) expressway in February 2024, Jarrett Tee Lee Kiat engaged in "blocking and braking games" with a motorcyclist, clocking speeds of up to 160kmh. The 30-year-old deliberately swerved into the path of the motorcycle, forcing the rider to slow down. Tee also asked the passengers in his car, "Do you want to see motorcycle fly?" The resulting collision between Tee's car and the motorcycle caused its rider, 27-year-old Kovan Tan and pillion rider, 18-year-old Leann Lim Jia Le, to be flung off. Ms Lim, a student, subsequently died from her injuries. After the incident, he said "she deserved it as she come and push my limit". Tee pleaded guilty to one count of dangerous driving which caused the death of Ms Lim. He was also given a driving ban of 10 years. Another two counts of dangerous driving, one of which took into account the hurt caused to Mr Tan, were taken into consideration for his sentencing. The court heard that Tee was a full-time NUS student at the time, and also a part-time chef and social media influencer. He rented a Mercedes-Benz car, which he drove at the time of the offences. ACCUSED RACED AGAINST OTHER VEHICLES On the night of Feb 23, 2024, Tee contacted a man known as Vincent Loh to drive around aimlessly. Mr Loh agreed and picked up two 16-year-old girls in his car later that night. The three met Tee in Sembawang and had supper there. The group then cruised separately in Tee's and Mr Loh's car before agreeing to meet in East Coast Park as the final rendezvous point. Sometime during the night, Mr Loh picked up a 16-year-old man, who was also the boyfriend of Ms Lim. Ms Lim subsequently joined the group. While he was driving to different locations, Tee began to play "blocking and braking games" where he would swerve into the lane occupied by Mr Loh's car and apply his brakes intermittently, forcing the other car to slow down. At one point, Tee ended up with a 16-year-old girl and Ms Lim's boyfriend in his Mercedes-Benz, while Mr Tan rode his motorcycle with Ms Lim as pillion. The two vehicles travelled along the ECP in the direction of Changi Airport to reach East Coast Park. While en route to the destination, Mr Tan and Tee started to race one another, with Tee speeding up to 160kmh as part of the "blocking and braking game". Mr Tan rode to a slip road at an exit towards Marine Parade but decided to cut across the chevron marking to re-enter the ECP. He filtered out of the slip road, entering the third lane of the ECP with the intention of overtaking Tee's car, which was also in the third lane. Meanwhile, Tee made a remark to his two passengers if they wanted to "see motorcycle fly", to which Ms Lim's boyfriend pleaded with him not to. When Tee saw the motorcycle overtaking him, however, he immediately swerved his car to block it. His car swiped the motorcycle, causing both Mr Tan and Ms Lim to be thrown about five to eight metres away. Ms Lim was observed to be unresponsive as she lay on the floor. A driver who was behind both vehicles captured the incident on her car's dashboard camera. Her recordings showed that Tee applied his brakes, with the motorcycle in close proximity, four times within seconds. VICTIM FOUGHT FOR HER LIFE Ms Lim was taken to the hospital at about 4.40am on Feb 24, 2024, with paramedics administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but she remained pulseless. Resuscitative efforts were futile, with doctors assessing that there was significant brain injury with a poor prognosis that likely could not be reversed. Her condition deteriorated and she died at 2.47pm on Feb 24, 2024. Mr Tan sustained abrasions and a laceration on his right hand. He was then warded for three days and given six days of hospitalisation leave. ACCUSED WAS "IN NO WAY REMORSEFUL" Before the police or an ambulance arrived, Tee called Mr Loh to tell him that the "motorcycle had collided into him". Later, in response to Mr Loh's queries on how the collision happened, Tee claimed that the "motorcycle keep (taunting) him", and kept revving its engine at him. He added that Ms Lim had pointed her middle finger at him, so he "played with the motorcycle". He admitted to Mr Loh that he made the lane change and engaged the neutral gear so that the rider would not be able to see his brake lights. According to court documents, Mr Loh told Tee he was "crazy" as he "played with (someone's) life" and the latter responded "she deserved it as she come and push my limit". As he was having his statement recorded after the incident, Tee lied that the motorcycle had been tailgating and "high-beaming" him. He alleged that he changed lanes to give way, but that the motorcycle changed to the same lane and increased its speed, resulting in a collision. After Tee was released on bail on Feb 24, 2024, he again met Mr Loh, who asked him if he was "afraid" given what had happened. "The accused replied 'why scared', 'Who ask her to pissed (sic) me off' and 'The accident caused her death is what she deserved'," the prosecution said. That evening, Tee met Mr Loh and other friends for drinks at a hotel in Geylang. During this session, he told his friends that Ms Lim's death was what “she deserved" for taunting him, and repeated that she had made a rude gesture at him. Asking for a jail term of 51 months to 68 months, the prosecution referred to victim impact statements from Ms Lim's father and stepmother. Deputy Public Prosecutor Paul Chia also highlighted Tee's lack of remorse for causing Ms Lim's death. "The accused’s behaviour in the immediate aftermath of the incident stands in stark contrast to the efforts made by (a witness), the SCDF (Singapore Civil Defence Force) officers and staff at CGH (Changi General Hospital) to save Leann’s life and the intense loss experienced by Leann’s family," Mr Chia said. "To put it mildly, the accused was in no way remorseful for his actions." Tee's lawyer, Pang Khin Wee of IRB Law, painted his client as a "sorely misguided young man" who did not know to distinguish good influence from the bad. Noting that Tee's parents divorced when he was a baby, Mr Pang said Tee was often alone as his father worked a lot. "Growing up in this manner made Jarrett hard-mouthed when speaking with his friends, but such harsh words seldom represent his true feelings," said Mr Pang. During the incident, Tee was in a competitive mood and wanted to "appear macho" to his passengers, Mr Pang said. "To be clear, Jarrett never really intended for the motorcycle to collide into his car. He merely wanted to increase the perception of danger so he could appear to scare Kovan," Mr Pang said. Tee immediately alighted after the incident to call an ambulance, but being the "hard-mouthed" and "boorish" man that he was, he continued to "talk macho", the lawyer said. "However, Jarrett truly never intended to hurt Kovan and Leann. In truth, Jarrett was just a scared and remorseful man trying to avoid admitting to his friends that he had made a huge mistake. "Jarrett’s macho words were simply his way of masking and avoiding seeming 'weak' to his friends, even though he knew he was in trouble," Mr Pang said. Mr Pang asked for a jail term of between 42 and 50 months, after factoring in a sentencing discount for his plea of guilt. His client admits that he should not have played a racing game and regrets the accident, the lawyer added. Source: CNA/wt(sn)

  10. Singapore graduate says mum started demanding money one week into first job A fresh university graduate in Singapore has ignited a heated online discussion after revealing that her mum began allegedly demanding money just one week into her first full-time job. Mum requests S$500 a month for living expenses In a post on the r/askSingapore subreddit on 24 June, the 29-year-old OP, who identified herself as a late bloomer, shared that she recently joined the workforce after graduating this year. Despite being on probation with zero CPF savings, her mother allegedly requested a monthly contribution of S$500. On top of that, her sister — with whom she currently lives — also asked for S$500 a month for rent, even though the OP claims she barely uses any amenities like air-conditioning. All this is in addition to the S$1,000 monthly repayment she’s planning to make towards her university tuition loan“I can, but I’ve been feeling the amounts too much for me,” she shared. “I plan to purchase a single-person flat and rely on my own money to retire instead of relying on marriage and kids.” She added that she’s trying to avoid racking up interest on her student debt and hopes to gain financial independence quickly. Netizens advise OP to negotiate or move out The post struck a chord with many Redditors, who weighed in with advice and personal anecdotes. One user suggested the OP should negotiate a smaller sum with her family, especially since she’s just begun working. Source: Reddit Another commenter was shocked that the OP’s mother asked for money even though she didn’t fund her university education, suggesting she move out instead. Source: Reddit However, others pointed out the practical reality that moving out could be more expensive and advised her to hang on until she’s more financially stable. Source: Reddit One user even shared that since their parents stopped giving them an allowance after secondary school, they don’t feel obligated to give back now that they’re working. Source: Reddit A later update on the OP’s post said that she decided to ultimately give her parents and sister S$250 each, while still continuing with her planned S$1,000 loan repayment. Giving money to parents is still the norm in Singapore A recent survey by Answers.sg polled respondents on whether adult children should financially support their ageing parents. Out of the 514 respondents, 90% agreed, while the other 10% felt it wasn’t necessary. While some are driven by cultural values and a sense of gratitude, others are more concerned with practical matters. In some societies, such as Singapore, allocating a part of one’s income is considered a cultural norm. The belief is so widespread that some parents expect it once their children start working.

  15. A man was caught drinking kopi in a bag on the train on May 9. Stomper Anonymous spotted this at 7am on the way to work at Tanjong Pagar MRT station. "This man drank a full bag of ikat tepi coffee all the way to the station," the Stomper said. "After finishing it, he squeezed the bag into the smallest size and tried to stuff it into the gap of the chair. "A man standing in front of him saw it and asked him to take it out." The video taken by the Stomper showed the man sitting on the train and sipping on a straw. It was not the first and last time Anonymous spotted someone enjoying a drink on public transport. The Stomper also shared a separate video of a woman having an iced beverage on the train and said: "Another one." Stomp has received numerous reports in June about commuters eating on the train. This includes a woman who was caught eating a tomato, two men with green apples, and another passenger who had a waffle. Even though it keeps happening, eating and drinking is prohibited on the MRT. Those found guilty face a fine of up to $500.
