Despite winning the elections for Aljunied, Sengkang and Hougang, Workers' Party MPs still have to hold their Meet-the-People's sessions in make-shift cubicles at the open-air void decks. Contrast this to the PAP losing candidates, who still get the role of 'grassroots advisors' and are freely allowed to use the CCs and RCs for their grassroots activities.

A netizen is looking for the owner of a lost cat that was found unhappy and cowering at a void deck at Clementi West. Will the owner please stand up?

SingPost will be taking disciplinary actions against the postman who left residents' letters at a void deck table in Jurong instead of in letterboxes. It apologised for the lapse and explained that its staff was only 5 months into the job. It also clarified that the postman merely left a bundle of letters behind, and that it was "a member of a public (who) likely undid the bundle and went through the stack before leaving them on the table". All the letters have since been delivered.

Our reader who stays at Jurong East told us about an irresponsible postman who allegedly left residents' letters lying around at the void deck. What's so difficult about putting them into letter boxes? You only had one job.

Why pay conservancy fee when nobody bothers to clean up the HDB areas? Our reader complained about the increasing fees at Woodlands, Marsiling Yew Tee Town Council, even though the rubbish bins are always seen with piles of rubbish and no cleaner.

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 CHINESE FUNERAL & A MALAY WEDDING: I was having lunch at the void deck of Blk 256 Pasir Ris when I saw a funeral procession passing by slowly. Some wedding guests were standing along the side of the void deck to show respect. THIS IS SO SINGAPORE! But the van carrying the deceased was about to pass there, with family members on foot. I stood still to show respect. A few of them noticed and nodded. I nodded back.

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

A nine year old boy was playing football with a friend at a void deck when the ball accidentally hit a girl on her shoulder. The 6 year old girl who was on her skate scooter lost balance and fell. She burst into tears. Her father, Keith Tan Chee Siang, pacified her. After she stopped crying, Tan ordered the boy to stand still (near the wall) as Tan kicked the ball against the boy's legs thrice. The first three shots were aimed at the boy's legs but the fourth bounced off the wall and hit his face. The impact caused the boy's nose to bleed.
