'Ninja' aunty tailgates man out of MRT gantry to evade fare -- to mixed reactions
'Ninja' aunty tailgates man out of MRT gantry to evade fare -- to mixed reactions A woman was caught on camera "tailgating" a man to evade paying her train fare at Clementi MRT station. Stomper Lau Lau alerted Stomp to a video of the incident posted on Instagram and Facebook by Singapore Incidents. In the video, the woman can be seen walking closely behind a man at the gantry and slipping through without tapping her card - all without the man noticing. Some netizens cheered her on, with one commenting, "Good job aunty!" Another praised her for saving money: "Gotta respect the hustle." Others called her a "ninja". A commenter said: "I always see cars and motorcycles tailgating at car parks. This is one ninja aunty. The man in front also didn't notice; she sliced in like a razor." While many were entertained, not everyone saw it as a laughing matter. One netizen wrote: "We should not allow these people to take advantage of our transport system! Catch, fine, cane, and confiscate all their assets to redistribute among the lawful masses." A few turned their attention to the person behind the camera, questioning the suspicious timing of the recording. "Why were you taking a video of the aunty? Did you already know she was about to evade her fare?" Click here to contribute a story or submit it to our WhatsApp Get more of Stomp's latest updates by following us on:

Singapore woman seeks help after car window smashed, luggage stolen at JB mall
A Singaporean woman had her holiday disrupted after her car was allegedly broken into while parked at Paradigm Mall in Johor Bahru. Her cabin luggage and carry-all bag were reportedly stolen from the vehicle's boot. Stomper Wendy alerted Stomp to a Facebook post by Julia Lim, who shared that the theft occurred near the lift lobby of the mall's carpark between 2pm and 5pm on June 15. Wendy told Stomp: "You might want to publish this to help the victim. Usually, police in Malaysia will only take action if the issue is blown up on social media." Ms Lim wrote in the My SG Road Trip - Eat, Play, Stay Malaysia! Facebook group: "Came back to the car to find the window had been smashed and our carry-all and cabin luggage that had been placed in the boot out of sight were gone." "Security is here and helped call the police. We have travel insurance, but we're unsure what to do at this point. Should we cancel our staycation to return straight to Singapore or proceed to get the window repaired in JB?" Several netizens chimed in with advice and similar experiences. Some suggested she proceed with her trip and enjoy what she can. One suggested: "Send your family to the hotel first, then send the car to a workshop. Leave the car there and get around by Grab. Gather all receipts and claim insurance when back in Singapore." Another advised: "If you openly opened your boot before going on your trip, someone could've been watching. That happened to us before - we left our bags out of sight, came back and everything was gone." Some users recommended magnetic sunscreens to block out views into the car, and others reminded drivers to never leave any bags or visible items in the vehicle, even empty ones. One Facebook commenter added: "You were targeted. If you weren't, they wouldn't have taken anything even if there were valuables inside. Think about what might have made you a target." "Things have already happened, even though it's frustrating," said one netizen. "Might as well use the holiday to lift your spirits a little."
