In an open letter by a Singaporean father who was disappointed that his own daughter finds it hard to go to a local university, he questioned on what basis are the foreign students deemed good enough to attend the local universities under a bursary, denying locals who has good grades to study at said university.

A Singaporean man's post have gone viral, in reminding everyone that their role models need not be a celebrity, an athlete or some rich movie superstars. Instead, their role models can be closer to home and even closer to heart. That role model he was talking about is his own father, who just happened to be a man who works as a cleaner.

On the morning of Aug 9 last year, the man threw a plastic bottle at his daughter's face when she would not stop crying. He left the flat and was in a foul mood when he returned that evening as he had no money to buy drugs. He scolded his wife and startled their young daughter, who started to cry. Unable to pacify the baby, he then proceeded to forcibly shove the baby's head against a wall, knowing it to be likely that the baby would sustain grievous hurt. The back of her head hit the wall and she fell to the mattress below, and was quickly carried away by her mother. The man was carrying the baby at around 9 am the next day when he started to bite the child all over her left forearm and upper arm. The man also bit her ears at around 7pm that day. It was the wife's father who alerted the police about the abuse done by the man. Extensive injuries were noted all over the baby. Besides a fracture to the back of her skull, she also had multiple bruises and cuts to her face, torso and limbs.

A netizen hasn't seen his father since 2 days ago and is asking for help to find him. The old man was last heard saying he wanted to go to either Changi or Pasir Ris beach.

Hambali's 54 year old father is still mourning his son's death, visiting his grave about twice a week. His half-sister, local singing celebrity Sarah Aqilah, also said that in the two to three months after his death, his school mates still continued to send phone text messages to his mobile phone, and also posted messages on Instagram in remembrance of him. Ms Sarah said that at first, she replied to all the messages, but eventually had to stop because she could not take the sadness of missing him anymore.

A father complained that his daughter's school made her do a Malaysian flag for craft work during Singapore's national day period. This is at Brighton Montessori at Clementi Arcade. What logic is this? Or did someone get the flags wrong?

A 5-month old baby boy was left in the car for almost 20 minutes and had to be rescued by the Singapore Civil Defence Force. A neighbour's video showed the SCDF examining the car before the baby's father came to unlock the door and pull him out. It was uncertain why the father simply left his baby there for so long.
