A woman in Cambodia reportedly survived a fall from a building.

The incident occurred in Sihanoukville in the early hours of Sep. 27, Sin Chew Daily reported.

Residents heard loud noise

TNB News reported that the woman had fallen from the eighth floor of the building and landed on the zinc roof of a nearby house.

Residents were startled by a loud noise and went over to investigate.

They initially feared that she had been seriously injured or had died, Sin Chew Daily reported.

However, about half an hour later, the woman regained consciousness and sat up.

She then took out her phone and used it for around 20 minutes.

The woman subsequently made her way down from the roof on her own and left the scene.

Neither report provided further details about the woman's condition after she left.

A traveller at Changi Airport says he could not use most of his S$3 vouchers at The Shilla Duty Free, a cosmetics shop, and ended up letting them expire.

The store says the vouchers work differently from how he supposedly understood them, and that three were redeemed that day.

What he was trying to do

The traveller, identified as Ky, was shopping at The Shilla Duty Free at Changi Airport Terminal 2 before a flight on Aug. 22, Stomp reported.

He wanted to buy L’Oréal facial cleansers priced at S$7 each and was told that buying two would entitle him to an additional 30 per cent discount.

Ky also had more than 10 of these S$3 vouchers, which he said his family had accumulated from travelling several times a month.

He said: "I made a purchase and attempted to use several $3 vouchers with no minimum spending requirement."

He was told 1 per passport

When he tried to use several of them, he was told at the cashier that only one voucher could be redeemed per passport.

According to Stomp, The Shilla Duty Free clarified that each S$3 voucher could be used for one transaction, with each transaction tied to an individual traveller's passport.

As there were three travellers at the point of purchase, three separate transactions were processed and three S$3 vouchers were redeemed.

Why he was unhappy

Ky complained that the restriction was supposedly not stated on the vouchers and was only made known to him at the cashier.

He said he “could not find any such limitation in the terms and conditions printed on the voucher”, and that he had used several the previous month without being questioned.

He told Stomp:

"A restriction that is not stated on the voucher's terms and conditions should not, in my view, be imposed at the point of payment without prior disclosure."

He felt such conditions should be "clearly and prominently communicated to consumers before they make their purchase".

Stomp noted that a photo shared by Ky showed the voucher directing customers to the store for additional terms and conditions.

The vouchers expired

Ky said the remaining vouchers subsequently expired on Aug. 31, despite him making two overseas trips before then.

He said this meant he had missed the chance to use vouchers that had been issued without a stated minimum spend.

S$30 offered

The Shilla Duty Free told Stomp it had since reviewed the matter and been in touch with Ky.

The company said his feedback would be taken into account when communicating voucher redemption conditions in future.

The Shilla Duty Free also offered Ky a S$30 voucher as a gesture of goodwill.

Ky, however, felt the compensation did not adequately address his experience.

“I initially have around 10 pieces of $3 voucher to spend,” he told Stomp. “And after going through all the trouble and got into argument, I am getting back only that $30 in compensation.”

A 30-year-old Myanmar man has been charged after sending an AI-generated, digitally edited image of a crocodile at Pandan Reservoir to a colleague and later deleting it from his phone.

Ye Lin was charged in court on Sep. 29.

He was given an agency bail of S$5,000.

His next court date is scheduled for Nov. 10, 2026.

Fake crocodile picture

According to a police news release on Sep. 28, preliminary investigations revealed that the man had created an AI-generated image depicting a crocodile at Pandan Reservoir and sent it to his colleague.

Chargesheets seen by Mothership said Ye sent a message with the doctored picture on Aug. 20 at about 3pm.

Ye subsequently deleted the images and the Gemini AI application history log records from his handphone.

He was charged with the offence of communicating false message under the Miscellaneous Offences (Public Order and Nuisance) Act 1906 and obstructing the course of justice.

The offence of communicating a false message carries a jail term of up to three years, a fine up to S$10,000, or both.

The offence of obstructing the course of justice carries a jail term of up to seven years, a fine, or both.

Background

On Aug. 20, 2026, national water agency PUB was notified that a crocodile had been sighted at Pandan Reservoir.

Members of the public were advised to exercise caution in the area while water activities at the reservoir were suspended, the police said.

PUB and the National Parks Board (NParks) also deployed resources to conduct search and capture operations in the area.

Subsequently, PUB discovered that the photograph provided in relation to the reported sighting was fake and the matter was referred to the police on Aug. 21.

An eight-year-old Japanese girl, Hirata, who was an idol trainee, died from myocarditis on Sep. 25 after contracting the flu.

She had been part of a Japanese pop idol agency, Dianna Project.

The entertainment agency posted a notice on its website on Sep. 28, announcing the eight-year-old's passing.

According to Sin Chew Daily, the girl was born on Apr. 16, 2018.

She had participated in performances on Sep. 20, just five days before her passing.

According to a post on her X account, she passed on Sep. 25 at around 4am.

After news of her passing was made public, Hinata's family wrote a post on social media thanking her fans and staff from the agency for their support, Sin Chew Daily reported.

The family shared that she had spent a third of her lifetime as a trainee and had cherished those around her.

They also expressed the hope that Hirata would remain in everyone's hearts as a "forever idol".

At least S$18,000 has been lost to social media impersonation scams involving payments of fake youth exchange programmes via compromised WhatsApp accounts.

At least eight cases have been reported since September 2026.

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) released an advisory on Sep. 28 to alert members of the public against this scam variant.

Modus operandi

In this scam variant, scammers would gain access to students’ WhatsApp accounts to impersonate them, police said.

They would pose as the students and contact the students’ parents, claiming that they have been selected for a youth exchange programme or AI-related course.

They would then claim that payment was required to secure a place.

To lend credibility to these claims, victims were provided with consent forms bearing different institutions and agencies’ names and logos, police said.

Some victims were told that the fees are subsidised and will be refunded.

The victims will also be told to make payment through a PayNow QR code.

Some were also asked to make additional payments, as the scammers claimed that the initial payment had been processed incorrectly and would be refunded.

SPF said the victims only realise they have been scammed after verifying these requests with their children or receiving alerts from their banks.

At least eight cases have been reported since September 2026, with losses amounting to at least S$18,000.

The police asked the public to take precautionary measures, including enabling two-step verification on WhatsApp and checking for scam signs with official sources such as the ScamShield Helpline (1799).

Suspected scam victims should also contact their bank immediately to report and block any fraudulent transactions, and lodge a police report.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim was also present and shook hands with Mahathir before he paid his last respects to Hasmah.

She died at the National Heart Institute in Kuala Lumpur at about 9:25am on Sep. 28, according to Free Malaysia Today.

The news was confirmed by her son Mokhzani Mahathir, The New Straits Times reported.

Mahathir also posted about his wife's passing on his Instagram.

On Facebook, the Malaysian Agong (king) Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar expressed condolences to Hasmah's family for their loss.

Born in 1926 in Klang, Selangor, Hasmah was one of the first Malay women doctors in Malaysia after studying medicine at Singapore's King Edward VII College of Medicine in the 1950s.

That was also where she first met Mahathir, who is now 101.

Under Malaysia's Ministry of Health, Hasmah became the first woman to be appointed the State Maternal and Child Health Officer in Kedah in 1974.

Later as the prime minister's wife, she continued to advocate for family planning, mental health, drug abuse prevention, and more.

Following the announcement of her passing at Malaysia's Parliament, a brief Islamic prayer was held in her honour, the Malay Mail reported.

A Singapore-registered car was caught on video ramming into a food stall in Johor Bahru, and Malaysia police are tracking down the driver.

In a widely-shared video from Facebook group Community Roda Johor, a Mercedes-Benz hatchback with a Singaporean licence plate was seen driving recklessly in the parking lot of a Malaysian food street in the late hours of Sep. 27.

Allegedly swung pipe at bystander

According to the New Straits Times, the Johor Bahru police confirmed that they received a report on Sep. 28 at 2:27am.

The 41-year-old person who lodged the report claimed that he was eating at a porridge stall when a man approached him and allegedly swung an iron pipe at him.

He managed to dodge the blow.

He told the police that the man appeared to be intoxicated and got back into his car when members of the public tried to intervene.

The suspect then rammed into the stall's tables and chairs, prompting onlookers to run out of the way.

He then drove off.

The Johor Bahru police stated that the case is being investigated under Section 279 of the Penal Code for reckless driving, which carries up to six months' imprisonment or a fine of up to RM2,000 (S$625), or both.

It is also being investigated under Section 324/511 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous means.

Under those provisions, if the suspect is found guilty, he could be jailed for up to 10 years, fined, or both.

The suspect is still being tracked down, and the Johor Bahru police urged members of public with information to contact their headquarters.
