The problem first surfaced on Tuesday at about 4:30pm, and was only fully restored on Wednesday night at around 9pm. So, I really don't understand why the news outlets reported the outage as being about 23 hours or 24 hours. This clearly showed that the problem persisted for more than 24 hours! Apart from individuals affected, some businesses were also affected, with some effectively having to stop their business for the day altogether. While this is clearly not the fault of the telcos in Singapore, but who is going to pay for loss business revenue of at least one day? IMDA is currently investigating the incident. Hopefully, affected users can be adequately compensated.

The Jurong West internet outage that affected customers in the area since Tuesday afternoon, is still not solved yet. In a most recent update, fibre network operator NetLink Trust discovered two new damaged cables, and services are expected to resume only this afternoon, instead of by 4 am today which had been announced earlier. Apparently, the fault was found to have been confirmed at a Boon Lay Avenue worksite, caused by a third party contractor doing piling works. Customers affected are from all three telcos, Singtel, M1 and StarHub, as well as MyRepublic.

The void deck at Jurong West St 24 has been plagued with lots of rubbish and looks like a garbage dump. Our reader has reported this to the town council multiple times but said that nothing has been done as inconsiderate people continue to discard things there.

A lady was shocked to find her car damaged by what appears to be a deliberate act of splashing acid. She had parked her car at the car park of her estate at 546 Jurong West Street 42.

First we have drivers who drive against the flow of traffic. Now this? Who can explain? This happened at Jurong West.

In our interviews, the average costs to restart a hawker stall averages $8-10K. We hope to raise $100K to support them in their restart efforts or even if it would help supplement lost income for the journey ahead.

Look at this photo taken at Blk 498 Jurong west ,St. 41 #01-482 .Walking past this shop on my way home daily and seeing this huge pile of goods outside the shop made me worry. The irresponsible owner of this unit left its goods unattended overnight. This shop is just opposite the market which was engulfed in the recent fire . Luckily, the fire that day never spread to this shop or it might have endangered the residents staying above these shop units.

Stallholders affected by the fire that gutted a coffee shop and wet market in Jurong West on Tuesday will each be receiving S$500 in financial aid.

It was most unfortunate that the market at Blk 493 Jurong West St 41 was engulfed in fire this morning at about 2:30am. It was fortunate that no one was injured.
