Singaporean gets surprise help from Malaysian police after flat tyre, Singapore News
We may be from different countries, but a flat tyre, it seems, is a common plight that we can all sympathise with. A Singaporean tourist who had a flat tyre was able to receive assistance from Malaysian police at Johor Bahru (JB), according to a Facebook post by the South Johor Bahru District Police last Friday (July 4). In photographs uploaded with the post, officers from the district can be seen assisting a Singaporean woman replace the rightmost tyre on the rear of her vehicle. Amid their efforts, the woman places her hand to her chest and shoots the camera with an endearing, grateful look. A separate, 51-second video post also shows the woman looking on anxiously, occasionally snapping pictures as at least four officers offer her assistance. Describing the actions of these officers as "good examples", the post also praises the officers for taking "quick and sincere actions". "The quick and sincere actions of the members on duty in helping change tires not only reflect the value of humanity, but also reinforces the positive image of [the Malaysian police] in the eyes of the community — regardless of borders," the post reads. Stranger travels from JB to Singapore to return wallet This isn't the first time our neighbours across the border have helped Singaporeans in times of need. In 2023, Stomp contributor Yen Sim shared that a good Samaritan had left a note at her neighbour's door in July asking if the neighbour had lost his wallet in JB. The stranger had also left their contact number so that the neighbour could retrieve the wallet. "There is still hope left in this world," Sim reportedly said. "My neighbour lost his wallet in JB and a local who was there picked it up and came all the way to leave a note at his gate. "He won't realise it until the weekend because he only comes to his unit on weekends." [[nid:719630]] khooyihang@

Musang King durians for $1.99? Beware of such scams where victims have lost $48,000
Advertisements promoting cheap food items on social media might be phishing scams, according to the police. PHOTO: SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE Musang King durians for $1.99? Beware of such scams where victims have lost $48,000 Beware of advertisements promoting cheap food items on social media as they might be phishing scams, warned the police. Unsuspecting victims would be lured by these ads offering heavily discounted prices on popular goods like Musang King durian for prices as low as $1.99. They would click on URL links in the ads to purchase the goods, only to be redirected to phishing websites requesting their personal information and banking details. Some would even receive SMS requests to key in their YouTrip login code, before being notified of a 'new' login to their YouTrip account. At least $48,000 has been lost to phishing scams from food-related advertisements since June 15, with over 77 cases reported. Victims would realise that they have been scammed when they discovered: (a) Unauthorised transactions with merchants in their bank accounts or credit cards; (b) Unauthorised transactions and a takeover of their YouTrip accounts; (c) Unauthorised top-ups to YouTrip wallets from unknown parties, with some transactions made in foreign currencies. Members of the public are also advised to adopt the following measures to avoid falling for scams: ADD - Add the ScamShield app and set security features (e.g. set up transaction limits for internet banking transactions, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), multifactor authentication for banks and e-wallets, use the money lock feature of your bank to "lock up" a portion of your money so that it cannot be transferred out digitally by anyone, further protecting your savings from scams). Do not disclose your personal information, bank/card details and one-time passwords (OTPs) to anyone. CHECK - Check for scam signs with official sources such as the ScamShield app. Call and check with the 24/7 ScamShield helpline at 1799. Look out for tell-tale signs of a phishing website. Do not click on dubious URL links provided in social media advertisements. Be cautious of attractive deals that seem too good to be true. Always check the transaction amount and merchant details before keying in the One-Time Password (OTP). TELL - Tell the authorities, family, and friends about scams. Report any fraudulent transactions to your bank immediately and report any suspicious advertisements to the company or platform.
