Woman upset after seeing dog bed in laundromat dryer, says they're for human clothing only
FB screengrab/ COMPLAINT SINGAPORE
SINGAPORE: After a woman asked others to 'Please be considerate la' and posed a video of a dog bed being cleaned in a laundromat, many others agreed.
In a (Tuesday) May 27 post on the COMPLAINT SINGAPORE Facebook page, 盘相楹 wrote that a laundromat is 'ONLY FOR HUMAN clothing leh.'
'How can you dry your dog beds in the dryer!' she exclaimed, adding, 'Don't get me wrong, I have a dog at home too, but must not take things for granted!'
She also wrote that cleaning the dog bed this way is not only disrespectful but also endangers those who have allergies to pet hair.
Netizens commenting on her post agreed with her and thanked her for speaking up, appearing to find it inappropriate as well for anyone to use a laundromat for pet bedding.
'Oh no…. Why ppl do it like that… Should know is for washing clothes, curtains, and bedsheets only…. No other things alamak ,' a woman wrote.
'Isn't there a sign that states what can and can't be washed? I know pet beds are definitely not allowed,' another commented, adding, 'Does this laundromat name and shame bad customers? The one I went to had CCTV screenshots of the offenders printed and pasted on the walls with their 'crime' mentioned.'
'I hope the owners of these laundromats put up rules and regulations, dos and don'ts, T&C for users to abide by when patronizing,' chimed in another.
'Unacceptable! No plushies, no shoes, and certainly no pet beddings! It's for universal use for clothes worn by us only. Human beddings are ok. The management must look into it and sanitize their machines. When you see this should call their hotline immediately so they can send someone immediately. They have cameras that they can view who does it,' a group member added.
Others complained that they've seen people similarly use the washers and dryers for items such as dirty shoes or muddy military uniforms.
Another commenter wrote that pet keepers can also be inconsiderate in other ways. 'Not only dryers, even rental cars are also subject to misuse by pet keepers who use the rental cars to bring their pets for grooming or veterinary appointments. Pet keepers!!!… Imagine you're the next one using it, how would you feel?'

SINGAPORE: The Energy Market Authority (EMA) said it will be investigating the cause of a power outage that briefly hit some areas in Hougang on Monday (Jun 2) morning. In response to CNA's queries, EMA said it was aware that electricity supply to parts of Hougang was disrupted at around 11.14am, with power fully restored by 11.28am. 'EMA takes such outages seriously and will be investigating the cause of the incident,' said the authority. National grid operator SP Group earlier confirmed in a Facebook post that parts of Hougang were affected by a temporary electricity supply disruption lasting about 14 minutes. 'Our officers were immediately deployed to the affected areas. Our priority is to restore supply safely and as quickly as possible,' it said. 'Those in commercial or industrial buildings may need to reset their internal electrical network. This could require support from their appointed licensed electrical worker.' SP Group added it was investigating the cause of the incident and apologised for the inconvenience caused. 'Come here to eat for the aircon but blackout … So hot now,' wrote Facebook user August Gan, who posted that she had been at Hougang RiverCourt shopping mall when the power went out.

New Squid Game trailer teases third and final season
Following up from a teaser trailer released in early May, Netflix has just dropped a new main trailer for the upcoming third and final season of the hit series Squid Game. The final season of the global phenomenon is set to premiere on Jun 27 on the streaming service and based on the new trailer released on Sunday (Jun 1), it promises to be a thrilling and emotional finale, with high stakes, plot twists and new games. The trailer opens with the haunting children's rhyme "Knock, knock, who is it?" as horrified players hide behind the towering legs of the iconic Young-hee doll – the deadly giant from season 1's Red Light, Green Light game. This time, however, the game takes on an even more sinister turn. Instead of an open field, it's set in a room filled with colourful illustrations. At the centre stands the eerie Young-hee doll holding a rope, teasing deadly new challenges such as jump rope. Gi-hun is also seen screaming in anguish, 'Why didn't you kill me? Why did you let me live?', as he grapples with guilt at the death of his best friend, Jung Bae, during the deadly rebellion that occurred in season 2. The trailer builds up to a powerful climax with Gi-hun clad in a sleek black suit, seemingly stepping into a final confrontation with the Front Man, who asks the question: "Number 456, do you still have faith in people?"

Singaporean woman says her parents fed her hawker food daily for years; she's now battling severe high cholesterol
SINGAPORE: A young Singaporean took to social media on Sunday (May 25) to share her frustration with her parents' lack of concern for her health, revealing that she had been fed unhealthy food for years and was dismissed when she raised concerns about her medical condition. In a post on r/askSingapore, the local recounted how her parents would regularly serve dishes such as Hokkien mee, char kway teow, and mee goreng 'three times a day for multiple days in a row' or even 'the same pizza for all meals across three days.' 'When I was young, of course, I had no idea what was good and what was bad, so I had no choice but to go with it,' she wrote. 'But now that I'm older and also diagnosed with very high cholesterol (around three times what's considered high for average people), I've requested my parents to stop,' she added. However, instead of taking her condition seriously, she said her parents brushed off the diagnosis as an exaggeration, insisting there was 'nothing to worry about.' She has since taken matters into her own hands. 'I decided to learn how to cook and have been cooking my own meals. I've told them to stop getting food for me as I'll handle all of my meals on my own,' she said. Despite this, she said her parents continue to buy food for her, especially on weekends when she wakes up late, and get upset when she refuses to eat it. 'When I refuse to eat what they bought because it's worsening my health problems that have already been officially diagnosed, they get mad about how I'm ungrateful and that I should eat whatever they spend their money on.' She added that it has become a choice between 'sacrificing [her] physical or mental health.' She expressed how demoralising it feels to work out consistently at the gym only to be forced into eating what she called 'the greasiest hawker food you can find.' 'I'm gonna move out as soon as I can because I really do see my lifespan shortening before my eyes. Just needed to rant a little.' At the end of her post, she asked the online forum, 'Does anyone else have a similar problem?' 'Same here. My parents only love unhealthy food.' In the comments, several users said they could totally relate to the original post, sharing that they also grew up eating hawker food almost every day because their parents were often too busy or tired to cook proper meals at home. One said, 'Yes, same. I can relate to you. Grew up with HKM every day for supper and had mee goreng/fried food for meals because they always buy from outside after work.' Another wrote, 'Same here. My parents only love unhealthy food, and it's always carbs and unhealthy food. Dessert has more carbs. I was fed on a diet of unhealthy food and grew up really skinny.' A third added, 'My mother doesn't allow me to cook and only lets me buy food from outside. She stocks up on a lot of instant noodles and eats them frequently. She hasn't provided me with breakfast for years either.' A few others, however, had a very different experience. Instead of being fed greasy food, they grew up with parents who were overly strict about eating 'healthy.' One shared, 'My parents are the opposite, forced me to eat the healthiest food they can think, every morning during my primary school I was forced to finish either whole pot of old female chicken soup with whatever those Chinese medicine called or the lotus root soup, or mix of random vegetables & fruit juice.' In other news, a Singaporean mum recently shared a raw and honest post on social media, saying that even though she has everything she once wished for—a family, a house, a car, and a stable job—she still feels like something is missing deep down. 'My heart and mind still feel unsatisfied,' she admitted. In a post titled 'Drowning in the Depths: What to Do?', she opened up about the emotional challenges of being a working parent and how this has greatly affected her marriage.
