People are so busy comparing with each other and pawning each other that rarely there is one that is happy for you, contented and celebrate life together with u?
No wonder so angry until beat up old uncle
I’m a Sec 3 student in Singapore and I’ve been getting bullied in school for a while now. People keep making fun of where I’m from, my family, and even the things I enjoy. I like anime, gaming, and football, and somehow they always use that against me.
They even found my TikTok and started stalking it. They called me “horny” just because I play a game called Umamusume. Honestly, I don’t even get why what I watch or play bothers them so much.
They also told me to “go back to my country” and kept bringing my family into it, which really got to me.
One day I just couldn’t take it anymore and tried to stand up for myself. I put my hands on his shoulder/chest area and told him to stop. I wasn’t trying to choke him or hurt him at all.
After that, he tried to fight me and even started pinching my chest. While that was happening, someone else came from behind and punched me.
Now he’s saying I choked him, which I didn’t. I’m also getting punished for putting my hands on him, but it feels like no one is really looking at everything that led up to it.
I know I shouldn’t have touched him, and I’m not saying I handled it perfectly. But it still feels unfair that I’m being punished without the bullying and everything else being properly taken into account.
I just wanted it to stop. I don’t want to fight anyone. I just want to be able to enjoy my hobbies, play football, and live normally without being targeted or told to go back to my country.
Just a Hypothetical scenario based on the recent news. We know Lim Tean was arrested in Johor Bahru and deported back to Singapore. But what if he had managed to slip past the Malaysian border entirely and make it into Thailand and beyond?
Will he still be caught?
Seriously these are undiagnosed siao langs is it?
Kns night time also 30 degrees!
Wait shuay shuay kenna one that really pissed you off or want to instigate a fight then my whole future gone! Seriously hope they faster uplorry and the next gen of elderly will be more well mannered, humble, less ego, less entitled, wiser
Life in sg is already stressful enough... Dont need to look for more trouble

I am looking for someone in case someone could help. This might be very silly. But I saw someone in the lobby of the Hilton in Orchard Singapore on the 9th of August (Sunday) 2026. She was wearing a white sleeveless shirt and a black pant with sandals and was around 5' 11 with black medium length hair. We were both looking at each other and wanted to talk to each other (sometime close to or after 2:30 pm) but we were both accompanied by people which made it difficult and I had to leave when my cab arrived. If you are out there, you know who you are. Thanks!
How?
Seriously these low ses uncles should be banned from cycling!
Now its cooling 23 degrees wooohoooo
Most are unfriendly, eccentric, hoarders and show offs
I really don’t know what they were thinking when implementing this booking system, I can’t even find one seat at the library which is unbooked . Seats are empty but when you go there and scan it says booked ?! Just now I went to woodlands library and I just sat at an empty space and was about to scan the QR, it was available for booking at 4pm . Mind you I sat down at 3:53pm . This uncle then comes up to me and tell me “ oh I booked this seat at 2pm just now and Intend to extend it “. He literally put his bag on the Qr code so that I don’t scan it 😩 I just shut my mouth and gave him the seat then I saw this man put his stuff on the table and walk out . I was walking out too bc I gave up atp , this man puts his stuff on the table and put his phone for charging there and walks away . He went out while I was walking out too and when I was walking to the NTUC this uncle also went there ! This man took a trolley . So he literally put his stuff there to charge and went grocery shopping ??? I’ve seen so many people do this ; the table is empty but it’s booked , or they just leave their phone/tablet there to charge and they are not there or either sleeping. I think the booking system is dumb and it should be a first come first serve basis bc a lot of people are misusing the system. Also the uncle and aunties will go to the library and use their phone to watch video so loudly and the librarians just ignore. It’s so sad that the library is no longer a quiet studying zone , i honestly don’t know where else to go to do my assignments and focus 🥲
These are losers or what? No wife no partner no friend no job no house??
Small small news which is very common in big countries we react machiam like some important people has passed away lo.... Seriously this is what making living in SG so stresstul! Its densely populated, people are unfriendly yet very nosey and always happy to see others fail and suffer! Pathetic!
Instead of improving oneself and looking at the big picture we occupy ourselves with such bo liao activities!
I see the video like if the young father would want to resort to violence he would have immediately hit the uncle but instead they interacted verbally for a brief moment so what was said?? Did the old uncle reply in a guai lan manner that broke the last straw?
This weekend’s viral news on the altercation at the hawker, TikTok live streams, Maju forest petitions, and most headlines have an overarching theme to me. Selfishness.
Singapore has changed greatly in the past 50 years. By many metrics, we have been successful. But begging the question, at what cost?
My short answer? Our humanity. Our community. Everyone only cares about one thing and one thing only. Self-interest. Me vs you.
Not a homeowner yet? Housing should be as cheap as possible. Homeowner? Higher better.
Parents? Their kid should have more benefits, Singapore not child-friendly enough. Non-parents? Kids are damn annoying, should have child-free places, parents are all entitled AF.
High-pressure environment definitely produces diamonds from coal, but the yield isn’t 100%. Many people fall through the cracks. And now the cracks are showing. Global competition, increasing population density, higher prices, lower morale.
As someone who grew up in the 1990s, life was simpler and definitely less selfish. No one called the police on us when we played block catching. Void deck soccer despite it being dangerous, was okay because the elderly understood kids will be kids and they just walk further away from the void deck, sometimes not even under the shelter.
Everyone will be even more selfish as the resources continue being hoarded by the wealthy, and the adults now who lament the older generation’s hoarding mindset will slowly begin to realise that is the best way to survive using game theory.
Our parents’ generation hoarded out of scarcity, but gave everything they could for the younger generation. Now? Most of us didn’t face scarcity. We had food on the table. No wars. Most of us had full schooling experience and many options now on how to live life. Our TFR shows that if we hoard, it isn’t even for the next generation but our own self-interest. MY quality of life. MY standard of living. And if everything is me, me, me, all our headlines make sense.
For those who found good communities to belong to, it’ll be the opposite. I am important. But so are we. In sport groups, if it’s casual friendly, beginners are generally welcome. Same for board games, trading card games, dance class, book clubs etc. But if you are an asshole, the group can collectively “exile” you. That’s the advantage of communities. Of course there are toxic communities but exercise your own judgement.
Singapore used to be a community. But now, it’s just a corporation. Assholes thrive. Nice people who are the cornerstone of community get taken advantage of. Find your tribe now, because it’s only going to get harder from here.
