A video posted by a Malaysian traffic policeman has gone viral after he showed an elderly man pushing his motorbike along the road in the scorching heat.

The policeman, who goes by the handle of @chefheroadnan, said that although many cars and motorcycles passed by, no one had stopped to help the old man.

The scene moved him to the point of tears, he said.

Malaysian media Sinchew Daily reported that the incident took place in Kota Bahru.

Elderly man reminded him of his father

In his caption for the video, he wrote:

"When you see your father struggling to push his broken-down motorcycle on the road with so many vehicles passing by, but no one is willing to pay attention or lend a hand, how would you feel as a child?"

In the reel, Adnan and his colleagues were seen pulling up behind the old man, who was pushing his motorbike along the road shoulder.

He said he then went up to the old man to ask what had happened, but the man could not see or hear very well.

Subsequently, Adnan checked the motorcycle's oil level, and tried helping the man to restart his motorcycle.

He was eventually successful.

Adnan then ended the reel with a call to viewers to do good.

"As traffic police officers on the front lines, we will do our best to provide the best assistance to road users regardless of the problems or difficulties they face on the road."

A 12-year-old boy from Guangxi, China, claimed he was an adult who suffered from dwarfism after he was caught stealing his neighbour's car and driving it along a highway for more than six hours.

According to mainland Chinese media, the incident happened at Gaotian toll station, along China's G65 Baotou-Maoming Expressway, on Jun. 15.

The boy, surnamed Luo, was caught at a toll station when he did not have enough money to pay the toll.

This aroused the suspicion of the tollbooth collector, who noticed his youthful appearance and called the police.

Investigation eventually confirmed that he was a minor who had been driving without a licence.

Continued lying when questioned by the police

While being questioned by the police, the boy claimed he was 22 years old but suffered from dwarfism.

He also lied that the car belonged to his aunt, and that he had only intended to drive to his grandmother's place.

However, upon contacting the boy's father and the vehicle's owner, they learnt that the car belonged to the boy's neighbour.

The owner had only realised that his car had been stolen upon being contacted by the police.

Learnt to drive with friends

The boy's father said he did not know that his son could drive, given that the family did not have a car.

When questioned further by the police, Luo eventually admitted that he had learnt how to drive secretly with some friends.

Early that morning, he stole his neighbour's car keys and drove off, eventually entering the expressway at about 4:45am.

As he is a minor under the age of 14, he was given a stern warning by the police and his parents were ordered to discipline him.

A Malaysian lorry driver has won praise after he used his vehicle to stop a bus that had seemingly lost control on an expressway.

After his actions saved passengers on the bus, there were widespread calls for his recognition.

But he declined to be called a hero, stating that he simply "did what [he] had to do".

Incident

The incident is believed to have occurred on Jun. 16 along the southbound stretch of Malaysia's North-South Expressway.

Dash camera footage circulating online showed the bus travelling at high speed down the rightmost lane, narrowly missing other cars in its path.

In response, the lorry positioned itself at the front of the bus to absorb the brunt of the impact, honking at other vehicles to warn them.

It was eventually able to bring itself and the bus to a halt.

According to Sinchew Daily, the bus had already collided with several vehicles on the road before the lorry intervened.

@mothershipsg The clip has since gone viral, with many online calling the unnamed driver a hero and urging for recognition. Authorities in Ipoh, Malaysia have yet to confirm details of the incident. #mothershipabroad ♬ original sound - Mothership

A hero

The lorry's driver was identified by Malaysian media as 40-year-old Wong Teck Ming.

The father-of-four said in an interview that he had acted out of instinct as he had no time to think or consider his own safety at the time.

Describing the incident, he added that he had used the safety barriers at the side of the road to reduce the bus' momentum, while stepping on his own brakes to bring the bus to a gradual stop.

"I'm not a hero, I just did what I had to do," he said, in response to the praise.

He added that the only thought on his mind was to get the situation under control, and protect the passengers and road users.

"Nothing about being a hero. I believe any driver would have done the same under the circumstances."

Three Malaysian nationals aged 22 to 24 were arrested and will be charged in court for their alleged involvement in scams.

According to a news release, the men had allegedly entered Singapore on the instructions of a scam syndicate in Malaysia.

They were told to help scam victims in Singapore.

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said that all three men were arrested within six hours of their entry into Singapore.

69 bank cards were recovered, which were used to withdraw around S$200,000 from victims' accounts, said the police.

S$200,000 in scam losses

SPF said that they'd received information that one of the men, a 23-year-old, had entered Singapore on Jun. 18.

He was allegedly on an assignment by scam syndicates to collect cash and gold bars from victims in Singapore.

Two accomplices, aged 22 and 24, entered Singapore with him. Preliminary investigations revealed that the men had received instructions from a Malaysia-based scam syndicate to perform ATM withdrawals across Singapore.

All three were arrested by officers from the Anti-Scam Command and Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) within six hours of arriving in Singapore.

To be charged in court

The suspects will be charged in court on Jun. 20.

The 23-year-old man will be charged for assisting others to retain criminal proceeds, which could result in up to 10 years' jail, a fine of up to S$500,000, or both.

His two accomplices will be charged for unauthorised access to computer material, an offence punishable by an imprisonment term of up to two years, a fine of up to S$5,000, or both.

"The police continue to observe an increasing trend of Malaysian nationals

travelling to Singapore to assist scam syndicates in collecting cash and valuables from scam victims, as well as making cash withdrawals from ATM machines using relinquished bank cards," SPF said in its news release.

Since Dec. 30, 2025, scammers and members or recruiters of scam syndicates face between six and 24 strokes of mandatory caning under Singapore's laws.

Scam mules who help scammers launder scam proceeds also face discretionary caning of up to 12 strokes.

HarbourFront Centre will cease operations on Jul. 27, the shopping mall announced in a Facebook post on Jun. 19.

The mall will be redeveloped into a 33-storey mixed-use building, with office and retail spaces and an elevated park.

Meanwhile, the Singapore Cruise Centre will be relocated to the new HarbourFront passenger terminal at 5 HarbourFront Avenue, with effect from Jul. 15, 2026.

Ferry services and routes unaffected

Earlier on Jun. 15, the Singapore Cruise Centre said in a statement that Batam Fast Ferry would be the first operator to begin operations at the new location on Jul. 7.

The remaining ferry operators — Horizon Fast Ferry, Majestic Fast Ferry, Sindo Ferry and Indo Falcon Shipping & Travel — as well as cruise operations, will follow from Jul. 15.

The Singapore Cruise Centre added that no changes will be made to ferry routes, destinations and scheduling as a result of the move.

HarbourFront Centre has been the location of Singapore Cruise Centre's international terminal since 1992.

33-storey building

HarbourFront Centre is expected to reopen in the first half of 2031, following redevelopment works.

It will become a 33-storey mixed-use development featuring office and retail spaces and an elevated park that stretches towards the waterfront.

The new 123,000 sqm, 33-storey "flagship commercial project" will complement the development of the "Greater Southern Waterfront", said Mapletree Investments last October.

The building will boast a verdant facade, with greenery stretching from the office tower down to a 13,000 sqm elevated park.

Actress and livestream host Joanne Peh has shared more details regarding the cancellation of a livestream sale with a Chinese merchant on Jun. 17.

She'd previously gone on TikTok to announce the decision, accusing the merchant of having "zero respect".

What happened

In response to Mothership's queries, Peh said that she'd already felt something was off from the first time she held a conference call with this brand, in the lead up to the cancelled livestream.

"I already didn't have a good feeling, didn't have a good vibe and then... when we met face-to-face in Guangzhou, again the vibe was really off," she added.

"The disrespect was already there, but again, you know, sometimes we give ourselves excuses, maybe people had a bad day."

Subsequently, on the day of the livestream, at the area where they had set up their equipment, they were told off by a man who was smoking in the room, claiming that it was his office.

Peh said:

"It is really not one isolated incident that triggered it. It was a series of interactions that all pointed to one thing, which is the lack of respect for us, for our team, for myself, and my commitment to wanting to do a good job of this.

And so that is pretty much the the final straw where I decided that, you know, self-respect is more important than all of that, so I called it off."

Brand management apologised

The merchant, who is also the brand founder, did not reach out to her on the evening of the scheduled livestream.

But the next day, the senior representatives of the brand — one from Sichuan and one from Shenzhen — came to Guangzhou, where she was at.

They wanted to personally address the issue, with the brand founder.

According to Peh, they wanted to apologise and brought flowers, an apology letter, truffles, rice dumplings and a gift from Louis Vuitton.

They had also insisted on doing so, even when she told them it was not necessary.

Accepted their apology

Peh acknowledged that they were "very sincere" and that they also acknowledged their attitude had been poor.

They said they had since conducted an internal review with their employees.

"They agree that this is not the right way to treat a guest from overseas who is coming here to do a stream with them," she added.

Peh then said she accepted their apology, letter, flowers and dumplings because it was the Dragon Boat Festival.

However, she returned the truffles and Louis Vuitton gift.

"Given what has transpired, I think this is case closed. I have accepted their apology, they have also explained and that's it," she said.

Not an easy decision to take in cancelling the livestream

Cancelling the livestream was not an easy decision to make, she added.

Despite the cancellation, she still had to pay for her entire team's airfare, hotel costs, time taken to shoot and edit the video, and the time they spent informing followers about the stream.

"All of this is cost already sunken in, and to call off a stream means nobody gets paid," she said.

But she added that livestreaming takes "a lot of time, effort, and hard work" and that she does not take the work lightly.

Peh elaborated:

"The decision to go public about (this) was really to highlight, sometimes, the importance of drawing boundaries.

You know, when someone is obviously and clearly disrespecting you, there is a need for us to draw the boundaries for ourselves, because if we don't do it, nobody is going to respect us."

At least one person has died and 89 others injured after two passenger trains collided near London on Jun. 19.

According to the BBC, the crash occurred at about 5:15pm (UK time) around Bedford, 80km north of central London.

Both were travelling towards London's St Pancras station.

The cause of the collision is still under investigation.

One of the train's drivers died at the scene, while eleven people suffered very serious injuries and 22 others sustained serious injuries, first responders told BBC.

British police have declared the collision a major incident.

Like a bomb explosion

One passenger, who said he had been traveling in the front carriage of the train that collided to the one ahead of it, said he "felt like [he'd] been in a bomb explosion".

He described scenes of chairs strewn everywhere, bloodied faces and broken limbs, and smoke all around.

"Some people are spitting out blood," he said.

Another passenger said she saw people fly from their seats upon impact.

In a statement, British prime minister Keir Starmer offered his thoughts to "the family of the person who has sadly lost their ​life, and with those who have been seriously injured", Reuters reported.

Train services were reportedly cancelled for the rest of the day and are expected to continue facing disruptions on Jun. 20.

Chinese film "Dear You", which landed in Singapore's cinemas on Jun. 18, will see eight additional local screenings in its original Teochew dialect.

It will be screened from Jun. 25 to Jun. 29 at GVmax, Golden Village VivoCity, said the cinema operator.

A spokesperson from Clover Films, the movie's Singapore distributor, cited "overwhelming audience response" for the decision.

It also thanked the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) for allowing the additional Teochew screenings.

Ticket sales will commence from 3pm on Jun. 22 via all Golden Village box office counters and online sales channels.

Overwhelming demand

Previously, Golden Village and Clover Films announced on Facebook that there would be limited screenings of the film in the original Teochew version at VivoCity from Jun. 18 to 21.

4,800 Teochew-version tickets were released on Jun. 16, and reportedly sold out within two hours, according to The Straits Times.

While mainly filmed in the Teochew dialect, the film is dubbed in Mandarin for its general release in Singapore.

IMDA explained that full-dialect films can be screened at festivals or niche events, to provide access to those who wish to view the film in its original language.

"This continues to support the bilingual policy which aims to promote Mandarin as the main language amongst Chinese Singaporeans," IMDA told Mothership.

Films that feature dialect content are allowed only on a case-by-case basis, ST reported.

Dialect heritage

The move to dub local screenings of the film has since sparked conversation online about Singapore's dialect heritage.

In a Facebook post, Workers' Party's Hougang MP Dennis Tan called for the preservation of the nation's dialect heritage, citing dialects like Teochew and Hokkien as the language of communication among many of his residents at Hougang.

"I have come to believe that our dialect group heritage is as much a part of our Singaporean Chinese cultural heritage as any of the customs we more readily celebrate."

Meanwhile, PAP's Bishan-Toa Payoh MP Cai Yinzhou wrote in a Facebook post that in the light of many residents' disappointment about the dubbing choice, he had filed parliamentary questions to the Ministry of Digital Development and Information to clarify the decision.

"I ask this as language carries culture. Dialects and language nuances are part of how stories are told and remembered," he said.

The film

The movie, which features primarily Teochew dialogue, is director Lan Hong Chun's third such feature film.

It follows the story of Xiaowei, who travels to Thailand to find his "billionaire grandfather," who has been out of contact due to debt problems.

Lan and his team interviewed more than 120 seniors in the Chaoshan region who migrated to Southeast Asia to ensure the movie was historically accurate, ST reported.

As of Jun. 17, it has grossed 1.6 billion yuan (S$303.5 million) in China despite its modest budget of 14 million yuan (S$2.66 million) and largely unknown cast.

Two men, aged 32 and 40, have been arrested for the theft of a diamond valued at more than S$235,000.

Replaced the real diamond with a fake one at the jewellery store

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said they received a call from a jewellery store along Kreta Ayer Road at 3:40pm on Jun. 19.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the two men had shown interest in purchasing the diamond. While they were examining the diamond, they replaced it with a fake one.

The pair subsequently left the shop without making any purchases, which aroused the suspicion of the shop assistant.

Upon conducting a check, he discovered that the genuine diamond had been replaced with a fake.

Through follow-up investigations, ground enquiries, and with the aid of images from CCTV and police cameras, officers from the Central Police Division and Police Operations Command Centre established the identities of the two men.

Both of them were arrested at Changi Airport Terminal 3 within three hours of the report.

The stolen diamond was recovered and seized as a case exhibit.

The two men are scheduled to be charged on Jun. 20 with theft in dwelling with common intention under Section 380 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code 1871.

If convicted, they face an imprisonment term of up to seven years and a fine.
