    • A 71-year-old woman was found dead at the foot of a Housing and Development Board (HDB) block in Yishun on Monday (March 23) morning.   The incident happened at about 7.10am at Block 701B Yishun Avenue 5.    Checks by AsiaOne show that the HDB block, completed in 2001, comprises mostly 1- and 2-room flats for seniors.   When AsiaOne reached the scene at about 10am, there were at least three police fast response cars and an ambulance present.     At least three police fast response cars and an ambulance were seen at the scene.

    • A bizarre and indecent sexual act occurred at a Chinese cemetery in Penang, Malaysia! A middle-aged couple were caught having sex naked in the cemetery, and the video subsequently went viral online. According to Malaysia's Oriental Daily News,  a 38-  second video circulating online shows a naked man with his back to the camera, while a woman, naked from the waist down, sits on a tombstone.   In the video, a Chinese woman filming the video can be heard loudly berating the two men in Malay, accusing them of repeatedly appearing naked at the site and behaving extremely disrespectfully towards the deceased. She also complains to others in Hokkien that the two men have dirtied the cemetery. In the video, the Chinese woman filming, while recording the scene, angrily shouts: " This is a place where people worship the dead! " Even so, the naked man remained calm amidst the rebukes, then slowly put his trousers back on and apologized to the woman who filmed him. However, the woman was adamant that she would not accept the apology and threatened to hand the video over to the police. A large number of netizens condemned the couple's behavior. According to residents near the cemetery, this is not the first time such an incident has occurred in the cemetery area, and local residents are used to it. This cemetery is located at the end of a dead-end alley, surrounded by dense forests and hillsides, forming a natural barrier. Even when people are driving on the main road, it is difficult for them to notice anything happening inside the cemetery. This seclusion from the city center has also become a breeding ground for indecent behavior.   Despite its secluded location, the cemetery houses important crematoriums, columbariums, and funeral homes, making it a highly accessible public place where worshippers come daily to pay their respects or hold funerals. After the video circulated online, a large number of netizens condemned the couple's behavior, saying that engaging in sexual activity in a solemn cemetery not only corrupts customs but is also a great disrespect to the deceased.
    • A 45-year-old man was found dead at the foot of a Choa Chu Kang block on March 20. Stomper HL shared a photo of the police in the carpark at Block 235 Choa Chu Kang Central with the area cordoned off. In response to a Stomp query, the police said they were alerted to a case of fall from height at the block at about 11.40am.   The man was found lying motionless and was pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic from the Singapore Civil Defence Force. Based on preliminary investigations, the police said they do not suspect foul play.  
    • A group of 13 friends from Singapore and China had dinner at a Genting Highlands restaurant and were shocked by how much the fish cost. Stomper Jimmy had visited Loong Kee Restaurant at Gohtong Jaya with his friends on March 16. “Ten of us were Singaporean senior citizens,” he said. “We got the shock of our lives when we saw the river patin fish we ordered was priced at RM902 (S$290).”   Jimmy shared a photo of the bill, which listed “river patin buah” twice. “The fish was charged in two halves and in separate portions on the bill at RM479.96 and RM422.50,” he explained.   The total bill for the whole meal was RM1,762.   “We protested, but to no avail as we realised we had no case after failing to question its price and weight beforehand. We were told that the fish weighed 2.7kg and was sold at RM338 per kg,” recounted Jimmy. “The restaurant also told us the river patin was an exotic fish, better than the river soon hock it was offering at RM228 per kg. Never did we dream that an economical patin fish could be so ridiculously overpriced, so much beyond that of a good soon hock.” The patin, also known as silver catfish, is a soft and fatty fish with a strong creamy flavour, whereas the soon hock, also known as marble goby, is a firm and flaky white fish with a mild sweet taste, and generally considered more premium than the patin. The Stomper lamented that the patin tasted just “normal” and he would have preferred the soon hock he saw advertised in the restaurant fish tank. He said: “We learnt a lesson not to be complacent when we order seafood items outside Singapore. We hope that other visitors to the Genting region can be alerted to such pitfalls.” In response to a Stomp query, a Loong Kee Restaurant spokesperson said the restaurant promptly carried out a thorough internal investigation following the billing concern raised by the customer. “Based on our records, our staff followed the standard ordering procedure by explaining the fish pricing and weight to the customer. It was also communicated during the ordering process that the selected fish was relatively large and would be portioned before cooking,” said the spokesperson. Typically, for 12 to 13 people, the fish would be between 1.5kg to 1.8kg. “That said, we acknowledge that there is room for improvement in how the portion size was communicated in this instance, as it may not have provided the customer with sufficient clarity and assurance,”added the spokesperson. “We understand that any confusion or concern regarding billing can affect the overall dining experience, and we sincerely regret any distress or inconvenience caused.” The spokesperson said Loong Kee Restaurant takes the matter seriously and has conducted an internal review, “with further steps to enhance staff training and strengthen service communication protocols”.
