Man hurt by stray bullet in gazetted forested area near army live-firing exercise
SINGAPORE – A man was injured in his back by a bullet and sought medical assistance at a hospital, said the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) on June 16. The 42-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound in his left lower back on June 15, said the police on June 16. A bullet slug was lodged in the man's back, said the police, adding that the injury is not life-threatening. The man is currently in a stable condition after surgery to remove the bullet. The man had been cycling with his friends at around 11.40am on June 15 within a forested area of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve – between the Upper Seletar and Upper Peirce reservoirs – that was gazetted for Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) live-firing, said a Mindef spokesman. His friends took him to the National University Hospital. An SAF authorised live-firing exercise at its Nee Soon Range was ongoing about 2.3km from the incident that injured the man. Live-firing activities at the range have been suspended. Under the Military Manoeuvres Act, unauthorised individuals are not allowed to enter gazetted areas designated for SAF live-firing in consideration of their own safety, said Mindef. The area has signs warning against unauthorised entry, said the police. Investigations by the police and SAF are ongoing. No foul play is suspected. Source: The Straits Times © SPH Media Limited.

Getting basic answers on ChatGPT? Try taking a different approach
When was the last time ChatGPT gave you exactly what you wanted, in one go? For me, that sweet spot existed only in the early days. These days, it's mostly the same old polished replies, familiar phrases and that unmistakable AI tone. Frustrating? Definitely. And I know I'm not alone. If you're a student trying to draft essays, a freelancer brainstorming ideas, a coder debugging scripts or just someone curious about AI, chances are you've felt the same way. Now, what if I tell you, it's not always the tool that's falling short, it's how we're using it. It's high time we understand how AI tools really work. And no, you don't need a prompt engineering course or be a tech wizard to understand this, but a simple change of approach. 1. Accept the fact that ChatGPT makes things up AI tools like ChatGPT are known for "hallucinating", which makes them unreliable. The responses often sound confident and well-written, but they're based on predicting the next word, not checking facts. That's why it can throw in incorrect stats, fake names or made-up quotes without any warning. If you don't know this, it's easy to be misled. But this doesn't mean you should stop using it, it just means you should be cautious. Always double-check information, especially if it sounds too smooth to be true. 2. Use it to challenge your thinking, not just be your 'yes man' ChatGPT is surprisingly good at reinforcing our biases. It echoes your viewpoint without hesitation, without any cross questions. But it doesn't have to work that way. If you prompt it right, it can push your thinking in new directions. Instead of asking, 'Why is remote work better than going to the office?' try: 'Can you compare the pros and cons of remote work, hybrid setups, and full-time office work from the perspectives of a team manager and an employee?' You will notice the difference. 3. Treat it like a fast intern, not a mind-reader If you think a small tweak in your prompt will magically change how ChatGPT responds, think again. ChatGPT isn't reading your mind, it's simply reflecting what you feed it. So, if your question is vague, the reply will be just as unclear. So, what's the trick? Being specific. Remember how an intern looks curious to learn, but he needs instruction in simple, clear language to get the work done? Treat ChatGPT the same way. Define your goal, audience, tone and format right at the start. 4. You're the director here, not GPT You're the director, and GPT is just the actor. Unless you tell it who it has to act like, it may keep on disappointing you. ChatGPT can take on plenty of roles, copywriter, critic, coach, even a therapist, but you need to spell it out. As simple as an 'act as…' prompt can instantly shift its tone and direction. But don't stop there. Set the scene, define the tone and lay down the rules. The clearer your briefing, the better the result. 5. ChatGPT is not your creative replacement Yes, ChatGPT is powerful. But can it get the same creative spark as a human? No. So, let it help you brainstorm, structure ideas or rework messy drafts, but the final judgment, taste and polish should come from you. The magic doesn't come from the tool. It comes from how you use it. 6. Stay emotionally detached It might sting a little, but here's the truth: ChatGPT is not your friend, mentor or therapist. It's just a machine predicting the next best word. And when you're stuck, stressed, or feeling low, it's easy to lean in and over-trust its answers. That's where it gets risky. Treat it like a tool, not a voice of wisdom. The moment you start assigning it feelings or authority, you lose the clarity needed to use it well.

(Video) Local Man Suffers Seizure In Moving Car; Hits Mother & Children At Cameron Highlands Market
When living with a medical condition, it is important to be aware of your responsibilities when doing crucial tasks such as taking care of your health or even driving. It's important to note that the choices that you make on the account of your safety could also protect the people around you. Yesterday (15th June 2025), a mother and her children were struck by a moving vehicle while they were shopping at Kea Farm, Caemron Highlands, which left them with minor injuries. The driver of the vehicle was reported to have suffered a seizure attack while driving and lost control of the vehicle. The incident, captured by bystanders and CCTV footage on the scene, showed a harrowing unfolding of events as the vehicle approached the market area and struck the mother and her 4 children. One of the children was unfortunately seen trapped under the vehicle, and quick-thinking bystanders worked together to lift and move the vehicle out of the way to save her. Cameron Highlands District Police Chief Supt Azri Ramli has since issued an official statement on the incident, which states that the driver suffered a serious seizure attack while in a moving vehicle, which caused injuries to 4 pedestrians. Fortunately, all victims received medical treatment at the hospital and have been discharged with no serious injuries. Police investigations revealed that the driver had no traffic violation records prior to the incident, and initial urine screening tests also came back negative for substances. However, the incident calls for the Cameron Highlands City Council to consider a relocation of the market as the gaps between roads and sidewalks pose a serious safety hazard for the public.
