    • 垃圾槽关不上蟑螂满屋窜 六旬夫妇喊苦 | 联合早报 https://www.zaobao.com.sg/news/singapore/story20260920-9705130   Here’s the full detailed account in English:       Elderly Couple in Tampines Plagued by Cockroaches as Rubbish Chute Door Won't Close   Reported: 20 Sep 2026, 14:04 | Source: Shin Min Daily News / Zaobao    The Situation   - Residents: Mr Zhong Qiangxing (69, retired) and his wife (68), living in Block 275, Tampines Street 22, 8th floor — a 4-room HDB flat they have occupied for about 30 years.  - Problem started: April 2026 — the kitchen rubbish chute door could no longer close properly.  - Consequences: - Cockroaches and geckos crawl in from the chute almost daily. - Pests have been found on clothing and even on family members, including their son. - Foul odour from waste seeps into the home; they use air freshener to mask it. - Both are in poor health and deeply concerned about hygiene risks.    Efforts to Resolve   - They approached the authorities, who advised them to engage a contractor privately.  - The couple is willing to pay for the replacement, but contractors they contacted refused to start work.  - Contractors' concerns: Removing the old chute could cause surrounding tiles to crack or fall off; the full scope of additional work is uncertain.    Industry Perspective   - Lim Bing Hong, Director, Eight Design: The issue is common in older HDB blocks — likely door warping. Replacement typically takes one day and costs a few hundred dollars. Cement can fix exposed areas; matching and replacing tiles adds to the cost.  - Lim Ah Ba, Advisory Consultant, Renovation Trade Association: After replacement, waterproofing is critical — the building management regularly flushes chutes from the top floor, and leaks must be prevented.    Current Status   - No contractor has yet agreed to take the job. - The couple remains distressed and is appealing for help from a suitable contractor.         
    • The death of a 17-year-old boy in S'pore in 2021 from a basketball frame that fell on him has been ruled a misadventure.   ➡️ https://bit.ly/4yQYiFa   Follow us @mothershipsg   Here’s the full detailed account from the report:       Incident Overview   - Date & time: Jul 26, 2021 - Location: Block 18 Bedok South Road, Singapore - Victim: Mohd Ridwan, 17 years old - What happened: During a basketball game with friends, Ridwan attempted a dunk and held onto the rim for about 2 seconds. The entire hoop structure collapsed onto him, causing fatal head injuries. Paramedics resuscitated him for 10 minutes but he died in hospital.       Coroner’s Ruling – 18 Sep 2026   - Manner of death: Ruled misadventure - Key finding: His actions — dunking and holding the rim — were normal and part of the game, and did not contribute to the accident. The structure should have easily withstood those forces.       Why It Collapsed   1. Faulty welding - The pole broke at the joint where upper and lower sections were welded together — this was the weakest point. - Welding was inconsistent and substandard. - Investigations suggest the pole had likely been damaged and crudely repaired by welding; the other hoop on the same court had no such joint. - It could not be confirmed if the damage happened before or after installation. - Had it been a single solid pole, the failure would not have occurred. 2. Lack of proper engineering oversight - The court had been renovated shortly before the accident. - Works were supposed to follow designs endorsed by a Professional Engineer — but the contractor (TMS Alliances) project manager was unaware of this requirement. - No Professional Engineer was engaged, and no structural safety checks were done during or after installation.       Aftermath & Responses   - Immediate actions: All basketball courts in the estate were closed right after the incident. - Reviews: Independent engineers inspected all sports structures; only those certified safe were reopened or replaced. - Legal: The victim’s family has reached a settlement with East Coast Town Council and managing agent EM Services. - Town Council statement: Acknowledged findings, pledged stronger oversight and compliance, expressed condolences, and said supporting the family remains a priority.       Sources: CNA / Shin Min Daily News / East Coast Town Council Facebook | Reported Sep 20, 2026
