Shared car was being driven to repair shop when it caught fire: GetGo
SINGAPORE: A shared car that caught fire along Upper Changi East Road on Thursday (29 May) was not available for public rental at the time of the incident, car-sharing company GetGo clarified in a statement today (30 May). The grey vehicle, which bore GetGo's branding, was seen engulfed in flames near a bus stop, prompting concern among members of the public and users of the popular car-sharing platform. According to a video shared by SG Road Vigilante, the car's trunk was open and heavy smoke and flames were visible. The driver's side of the vehicle appeared extensively burned. In response to media queries, GetGo confirmed that the vehicle involved was not listed for rental on its platform. Instead, the car was being driven by a staff member from an authorized repair shop at the time of the fire. The vehicle had been undergoing servicing. No one was injured in the incident, a GetGo spokesperson confirmed, adding that investigations into the cause of the fire are currently underway. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the incident at around 11:05am on 29 May. Firefighters were deployed to the scene and successfully extinguished the blaze using water jets. Founded in 2021, GetGo is one of Singapore's largest car-sharing platforms, offering users access to vehicles through a mobile app. Its pay-per-use model appeals to drivers who prefer not to bear the high costs of car ownership in Singapore, including the steep Certificate of Entitlement (COE) prices. As Singapore moves toward a 'car-lite' future, platforms like GetGo have grown rapidly. These services offer flexibility, especially for residents who require occasional access to a car without the commitment of long-term ownership. While Wednesday's incident may have alarmed some, GetGo's swift clarification has helped to reassure users that the vehicle was not in circulation for customer use.

In a LinkedIn announcement, Micklin added that in her new roles she'll support the company's plan to open over 1,000 new stores in the next five years. Micklin officially joined 7-Eleven on May 12, the company said in a statement.

Micklin joins 7-Eleven after spending the past two years as president of GetGo Café + Markets, the c-store arm of supermarket chain Giant Eagle. Micklin left GetGo this past March as the Pittsburgh-based retailer prepares to integrate its 270 c-stores into Alimentation Couche-Tard, parent of Circle K, which agreed to acquire GetGo last August for $1.6 billion. The deal is expected to close sometime this year. In her new role at 7-Eleven, Micklin will find herself back in familiar territory. She served as GetGo's SVP of development and strategy for over a year before being named president. For 20 years prior to that, Micklin worked in various construction, store design, engineering and acquisition roles for Wawa. She was also a project engineer for ExxonMobil earlier in her career. Micklin's hiring is one of numerous executive changes 7-Eleven has made at the SVP level over the past several weeks. In early April, the retailer shuffled the roles of several of its top executives, naming new leaders for its franchised stores, vault and proprietary beverages, center store and field merchandising, and tobacco and services.

'You betrayed me!': Woman throws man out with bolster, pillow
A video clip of a dramatic dispute between a couple has caught the attention of netizens. In the clip uploaded on TikTok on May 19, a woman standing at the stairwell of an HDB block is heard shouting at a man standing at the ground floor. She accuses him of cheating in a tirade a commenter described as "so loud, it can be heard in Batam". "Office people call each other baby. What is that?" she yells. The man tries to hush her, but she fires back, "You scared people hear ah? You betrayed me!" He tries to explain himself: "She calls everyone baby, everyone!" But the woman isn't buying it. "She calls everyone baby? You sure?" The woman throws a pillow and a bolster over the railing, shouting, "Get lost from my sight! I don't want to see you tonight!" The man says "siao cha bor" (Hokkien for crazy woman) before picking up the bolster and pillow. He loads the items into a GetGo car. The TikToker who shared the clip wrote: "Marry wrong wife is finished… quarrel everyone knows…" Others were quick to weigh in with strong opinions. "It's not marry wrong wife, it's marry wrong husband," one commenter said. Another wrote, "He calls someone else baby and we expect the wife to be calm? Come on." There were TikTokers who took a more jaded view. "Don't get married. Listen to uncle. Stay single, keep yourself busy. Don't get yourself into girl issue - messy, complicated," advised one of them. And in a surprisingly wholesome take, someone wrote: "At least she still had the heart to give him a pillow and bolster." Of course, there were sceptics who wondered if it was a stunt to promote GetGo cars.

Kyzo said: "There was lots of shouting and things escalated to the point where the wife kicked the husband out of the house with just a pillow and bolster for the night." It appeared that the woman was angry with her partner, who was called "baby" by his female colleague. She screamed from above: "Office people call each other baby? What's that?" The man asked her to lower her volume, which made her angrier. "Shhh what? You scared people hear? I want to let everyone hear," she yelled. "You betray me." Defending himself, the man said: "She calls everyone in the office baby." But the woman did not believe it and replied: "She calls everyone baby? You sure?" He pleaded for her to stop. She continued: "You don't tell me what to do. I tell you what to do," she shouted, before throwing a bolster and pillow to the ground floor. "Go, go get lost from my sight. I don't want to see you tonight." The man remarked, "Siao char bor," eliciting more screaming from the woman. He picked up the pillow and bolster, and placed them in the back of a GetGo car parked nearby as the video ends. One Instagram user commented: "Perfect GetGo ad, to be honest."
