Jalan Besar voters, is this the type of MP you want to represent you? Do you really think that Josephine Teo can be your voice when she doesn't even have the patience and respect for her voters to listen to their concerns and just walk away from you?

First she never wear her mask when going shopping for groceries at a wet market. Then a few days back, she again never wear her mask on at Shunfu mart and still can confront passerbys who advise her to wear her mask. Today, another photo of her has popped up on social media showing her going out buying food without a face mask again. Who does she think she is that she is above the law?

Things backfired for Sungei Rd market vendors who planned to relocate to the carpark at Golden Mile Tower. The owner of the carpark announced that there is no agreement for them to set up stalls there. Turns out Golden Mile Tower and its carpark are owned by different people. Getting the green light from Golden Mile does not mean they can use its carpark space. According to URA, they will also need to seek planning approval before setting up an outdoor market. Thanks to this confusion, Sungei Rd vendors will now be treated as trespassers. Authorities have already started putting up signs with the words 'No Trespassing' to prevent contractors from demarcating the space.

The Sungei Road Market association have secured a new site for the vendors to operate similar to Sungei Road, the sixth floor of Golden Mile Tower's carpark. According to association chairman Koh Eng Khoon, about 100 of 200 vendors have expressed interest in moving there. The market has also been renamed Golden Mile Tower Sungei Market, he added. Mr Koh had been trying to find a place for all the Sungei Road vendors to peddle their wares for the past two years. The new site is set for a relaunch on Saturday.

A woman who works at a vegetable stall at Jurong West market threatened her debt collectors with a 10cm-long chopper. The 4 debt collectors had approached her to claim her $20,000 debt when she brandished a knife at them and dared them to stab her. When asked by police, she said she was using the knife in self defence as she was "bullied" by the debt collectors who even threatened to kill her husband. Not sure if the debt collectors were being "nice", but they actually went to her stall with a sign that read "debt collection in progress, do not panic". Who bully who, like that? Auntie so daring siol!

The Singapore currency has been appreciating against almost all currencies during the last decade. As such, there are billions in unrealised forex losses. The government has tried very hard to prevent its disclosure. The PAP government would of course insists this is merely speculation. Why then doesn’t it quash the speculation with transparency at GIC? The answer is ‘it cannot’ because transparency will prove the above is not speculation!
