    • 😨 2 aunties were spotted getting into a physical brawl at a coffeeshop in Serangoon on Jun. 22.   They are currently assisting with police investigations.   ▶️ https://bit.ly/3QyGm1v   Follow us @mothershipsg     The physical altercation between two elderly women at a Serangoon coffeeshop went viral across local social media platforms under the moniker **"PMA vs. Walking Stick."** The incident took place at the coffee shop located at **Block 261 Serangoon Central Drive** on Monday evening, **22 June 2026**.   ### The Confrontation Timeline   The dispute was captured in video footage uploaded to Facebook and Instagram, showing a highly heated escalation between a 65-year-old woman and a 69-year-old woman:    * **The Argument:** The altercation began verbally. The woman in her 60s wearing a pink/grey blouse was seated on her Personal Mobility Aid (PMA), recording the encounter on her mobile phone, while shouting "CCTV!" and pointing toward the ceiling at another woman dressed in blue/green.    * **The First Strike:**    The confrontation turned physical when the woman in blue lifted her **walking stick** and jabbed/shoved it directly into the midsection of the woman on the PMA.    * **The Escalation:** Provoked by the strike, the woman on the PMA got off her vehicle, lunged forward, and attempted to snatch the walking stick while simultaneously landing a punch to the other woman's jaw.    * **The Tumble:** Due to the physical momentum and struggle over the walking stick, both women lost their balance and crashed heavily onto the tiled floor of the coffeeshop.    * **The Ground Brawl:** Even while on the ground, the pair refused to let go, continuously tugging at each other, kicking, and pulling hair.   Multiple onlookers and a fellow patron eventually rushed forward to intervene, pulling the two women apart and attempting to calm the situation down.   ### Emergency Response and Injuries   The Singapore Police Force (SPF) was alerted to the incident at around **7:55 PM**, followed shortly by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) at **8:25 PM**.    * **The 69-year-old woman** was found conscious by paramedics and was conveyed to **Tan Tock Seng Hospital** for medical assessment and treatment.    * **The 65-year-old woman** sustained minor injuries at the scene but flatly declined to be taken to the hospital.   ### Current Legal Status Both women are currently **assisting the Singapore Police Force with ongoing investigations**.   Under Singapore's Penal Code, individuals who engage in physical brawls in public spaces can face charges of **affray** (disturbing the public peace by fighting), which carries a statutory penalty of up to one year in prison, a fine of up to S$5,000, or both.
    • A 23-year-old Chinese national who lost his Singapore permanent resident status after failing to renew his re-entry permit was fined S$9,000 on 25 June 2026 after pleading guilty to offences under the Enlistment Act linked to his failure to register for national service.   https://theonlinecitizen.com/2026/06/25/china-born-former-singapore-pr-fined-s-9-000-after-admitting-national-service-default-during-covid-19-period     The case of **You Jiahao**, the 23-year-old Chinese national who defaulted on his National Service (NS) obligations, offers a clear look at how strictly Singapore enforces the Enlistment Act, even when a defaulter's permanent residency (PR) is revoked by the state.   Here is the comprehensive breakdown of the court proceedings, the timeline of his default, and his defense arguments.   ### Key Facts & Timeline   You Jiahao obtained his Singapore PR status in **January 2014** when he was 11 years old. He lived in Singapore and attended Outram Secondary School up until Secondary 4.    * **March 2016 (Age 13):**    An exit permit information letter was sent to his registered address, warning that he would be subject to exit permit regulations under the Enlistment Act from his 13th birthday.    * **August 2020 (Age 17):**    At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, You left Singapore for China.    * **April 2021 (Age 18):**    An NS registration notice was officially sent to his address, directing him to log into the NS portal and complete his pre-enlistment registration by May 31, 2021. You did not do so.    * **August 2021:** Having left the country without an exit permit and ignoring the notice, a **police gazette** was officially raised against him.    * **July 2022 (Age 19):**    You emailed the Central Manpower Base (CMPB) asking for assistance to *renew his re-entry permit*. In the email, he acknowledged his duty to serve NS but asked if it could be postponed until after he completed his university studies in China.    * **July 26, 2022:**    CMPB responded, explicitly telling him that he had committed offenses under the Enlistment Act and ordering him to return to Singapore immediately.    * **August 1, 2022:** Because he had failed to renew his re-entry permit from abroad, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) **revoked his PR status**.    * **March 27, 2025:** After nearly three years away, You returned to Singapore and was immediately **arrested at Changi Airport**.   In total, he remained outside of Singapore without a valid exit permit for exactly **one year, 11 months, and six days**.   ### The Charges & Sentencing   On June 25, 2026, You Jiahao pleaded guilty to **two charges** under the Enlistment Act for remaining outside Singapore without a valid exit permit. Another two charges regarding his failure to register for NS were taken into consideration during sentencing.    * **The Prosecution's Stance:**    Deputy Public Prosecutor Vishnu Menon pressed for a fine of at least $9,000. He emphasized that You's default period was only *just* shy of the two-year mark—the threshold where courts routinely start handing out mandatory custodial (jail) sentences. The prosecution pointed out that the only reason You's default didn't stretch longer was because ICA cut his PR status, legally freeing him from the Enlistment Act.    * **The "Unfair Advantage" Argument:**    The prosecution reiterated a fundamental tenant of Singapore's defense policy: NS defaulters gain an unfair advantage over their law-abiding peers by getting to freely pursue personal accolades, higher education, or career goals while local males are forced to put their lives on hold to serve.   ### The Defense & Mitigation   You, who was unrepresented by a lawyer in court, spoke through an interpreter to express regret, claiming his default was an act of ignorance rather than malicious evasion:    1. **COVID-19 Disruption:** He claimed that he had to return to China during the pandemic and faced disruptions making it difficult to return.    2. **Ignorance of the Law:** He stated he was genuinely unfamiliar with the nuances of the Enlistment Act, assuming he was legally allowed to finish his university degree in China first before returning to serve.    3. **No Intent to Evade:** He told the court: *"It was not my intention to evade my NS obligations... Whatever it is, I have realised my mistake and I have returned to Singapore to deal with this matter."*   ### Why Only a Fine?   Under the Enlistment Act, remaining outside Singapore without an exit permit carries a maximum penalty of up to three years in jail, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.   Because his duration of default fell just short of 2 years (1 year and 11 months) and he surrendered himself by flying back to Singapore, he avoided jail time. He was fined **S$9,000**, which he paid in full. However, his future ties to Singapore are effectively severed now that his PR status is gone.
