A youth was caught on video smoking an e-cigarette on board a public bus.

Several Stompers alerted Stomp to the video that has been circulating online. It is unclear where or when this happened.

However, some netizens noticed a building that looks like Yishun Park Hawker Centre in the background.

In the video, the young man wearing a Hello Kitty sweater is seen blowing out smoke seated on the bus.

He shows the ‘peace’ sign to the person recording the video.

“This immature young punk was acting cool and vaping on public transport,” said Stomp contributor Allen.

“This kid should be arrested for vaping on a public bus,” another Stomp contributor said.

According to the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act, first-time offenders caught importing, selling, buying or using and possessing tobacco products like e-cigarettes may face up to six months’ jail and/or a fine of up to $10,000.

Repeat offenders may face up to one year’s jail and/or a fine of up to $20,000.

A van driver got passers-by worried after stopping his car by the roadside and falling asleep for at least nine hours.

The incident occurred along Serangoon Avenue 3, near Block 253 Serangoon Central Drive, at around 6am on Tuesday (Dec 17).

According to Shin Min Daily News, residents and workers in the vicinity had first noticed a white van parked by the roadside. A man in his 30s was seen sleeping in the van.

Around five members of the public tried waking the man up by hitting the van windows throughout the day, but to no avail.

Among them was Mr Lin, a 60-year-old bakery employee, who said they were worried about the driver inhaling too much carbon monoxide.

Mr Lin recounted: “We knocked on the van driver’s window three times at 8am, 10am and 11am. Although he woke up for awhile, he appeared in a daze and went back to sleep again not long later.”

At first glance the works of Singaporean artist Qixuan Lim have a familiar, edible appearance.

But upon a closer look at the sardine tin – and it’s packed with tiny human hearts made of clay, cherubic arms and legs or other human body parts.

“I think my art has always been about that combination of things that people find sort of traditionally, typically cute, but having a darker twist and a darker element to it,” says Lim, who is known by her social media accounts and by her fans as QimmyShimmy.

“There are still a lot of aesthetics and ideas of beauty that are tied onto our perceptions of what is beauty.”

The 28-year old studied in the Netherlands is now a full-time information designer. She first showed her works in 2017, while still a student.

Since then her Instagram account, where she posts pictures of her art, has attracted a following of more than 100,000.

It’s no secret that Singaporeans love their food — so much so that they would go great lengths for them.

It’s no wonder, then, that indie studio General Interactive Co. (GI) have decided to ‘Singaporeanise’ their game, Chinatown Detective Agency (CDA), a little further by incorporating Singapore’s local cuisine in pixelated glory.

For the uninitiated, CDA is a game that will be set in 2032 “retro-futuristic” Singapore, where you’ll be playing as a private detective Amira Darma, who just opened CDA in a world where the global economy is on the verge of collapse and governments are struggling to keep law and order.

Players will take Amira across the world in hot pursuit of criminals, leads, and objects of value. But they’ll also have to manage the business at home, including paying bills, keeping the staff paid and upgrading the office. Think of it as a cyberpunk-ian Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?

Get Out!! is a bi-weekly video series where our hosts go out and discover new things around Singapore.

This week, Le En and Marcus head to a restaurant in Singapore where it feels like Christmas all year round!

Christmas is almost upon us and feasting is probably at the top of everyone’s minds. Next to gifting, of course. 

But why slave over the stove when you can enjoy a Christmas feast in cool, calming environs — otherwise known as restaurants?

And what better place to do that than one that’s all decked out in traditional Yuletide revelry to give you all the Christmas feels: Stuttgart Blackforest Boutique S-Cafe.

Long name notwithstanding, S-Cafe serves up the best cuisine of Swabia, a cultural region in southwest Germany of which Stuttgart is its capital.

In case you’re wondering, the ‘S’ in S-Cafe stands for ‘Sonder’, which means ‘special’, in German.

Several wheelchair users were left stranded at the train platform of Novena MRT Station after a lift broke down on Tuesday morning (Dec 17).

Stomp contributor Clarice alerted Stomp to the incident as her mother was one of those affected.

“I was taking my mother to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) to see the doctor that morning but when we reached Novena MRT Station at 9.40am, we were informed the lift was spoilt,” she said.

Soon, many other passengers using wheelchairs started to gather in front of the lift as well.

“We were all stuck at the train platform, including my mother who is handicapped as both her feet have been amputated,” Clarice said.

“We approached station staff for help and were told that we could take the train to Toa Payoh and take bus service 143 to TTSH or alternatively, change our medical appointment.”

“Some staffers helped other wheelchair users who were able to walk and take the escalator and stairs by carrying their wheelchairs for them.

FORT LAUDERDALE, United States – A Chinese national trespassed at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club on Wednesday (Dec 18) and was arrested when she refused to leave, police said, the second time this year a woman from that country has been charged with illicitly entering the Florida resort.

Jing Lu, 56, was confronted by the private club’s security officers and told to leave, but she returned to take photos, Palm Beach police spokesman Michael Ogrodnick said in an e-mail.

Palm Beach officers were called and arrested her. It was determined she had an expired visa, Mr Ogrodnick said.

Lu was charged with loitering and prowling and was being held late on Wednesday at the Palm Beach County jail.

The President and his family were not at the club – he held a rally in Michigan on Wednesday as the US House voted to impeach him. The Trumps are expected to arrive at Mar-a-Lago by the weekend and spend the holidays there.

Lu’s arrest is reminiscent of the March arrest of Yujing Zhang, a 33-year-old Shanghai businesswoman, who gained access to Mar-a-Lago while carrying a laptop, phones and other electronic gear.
