Snippets of Singapore's Life
Sharing some sights of Singapore as the game feels very monotonous to me. To start off, this is a Peking opera I watch over the weekend. The stunt work of the Monkey King was impressive. http...

CNN in a news article on 7 Oct 2020, identified Singapore as not a country in a chart. That chart has been removed. Someone added a popular comedian to chart to express his disapproval of the mistake in Singlish. Silang Tow means Dead man head
Back in 1998, Indonesia President coined the term of The Little Red Dot to describe our small island :pensive:
And I heard people from the west still think that Singapore is a province of China

Some news on Covid-19

On 10 SEP 2020, the news reported that a Taiwanese woman, who purposely sneezed at a security guard after she was denied entry into Ion Orchard shopping mall amid the Covid-19 outbreak in April, was sentenced to 11 weeks imprisonment.
After sneezing at the guard, the woman said: “You get it? You get it already!” She then took her passport out of her bag and added: “I am China. I am Taiwan.” The woman who lives in a condo at one of the most expensive belt here in Bukit Timah, was angry after she was denied entry for trying to use a scarf as a mask.
The irate lady also scribbled out her particulars from a form visitors are expected to fill in after she sneezed on the guard. When the lady security guard tried to stop her, Taiwanese told her to "shut up" and added: "Do your work."
On 11 SEP 2020, a flat owner was fined 5000 SGD for organising a huge gathering of 18 young people on 8 May 2020 in the midst of the Covid-19. His fiancée, living together with him, was fined 4000 SGD. News said that the two have broken up. 10 of the guests were already fined earlier, each between 2500 to 3000 SGD.

The engaged couple in their mid 30s that broke up.
The group ate, drank alcohol, played games and watched Netflix shows. A resident alerted the police at 2 am for the ongoing daily ruckus. The flat owner lied to the police that he was sleeping and that no guests were around but the police managed to call out his bluff when attending to the case.
The man's fine was higher than the lady due to his lies.

Three of the guests are young between 19 to 20. Two elected to accept fines of 2000 SGD. One young man chose a nine month probation. He must perform 40 hours of community service and his parents are bonded for 5,000 SGD to ensure his good behaviour.
The cases of the remaining three guests are pending.

The current statistics of Covid-19 here. 7 Oct 2020 recorded 10 cases where 4 cases happened in foreign workers dormitories and 6 cases are imported.
While the news didn't go into details where the imported cases came from, based on the other information given, it was likely that they generally came from India.
