Singapore car driver filmed getting into brawl with man at parking lot in JB, Malaysia News
The incident occurred around 4pm at the car park outside Aeon Mall Bukit Indah on Thursday (May 1), China Press reported.
According to China Press, the conflict began when the Singaporean driver of a white Toyota allegedly blocked the road and was honked at by another vehicle. Enraged, he then exited his car and approached the aquamarine-coloured vehicle behind.
A 41-second video clip, which appeared to be filmed by a passenger in the car behind, showed the Singaporean in green pinning another man against the latter's open car door.
After the two men were separated, the Singaporean driver was seen aggressively pointing his finger and yelling at the other man before walking back to his car.
In the original Facebook post, which has been made private, the user appeared to mock the driver, writing: "Singaporeans are more powerful?"
She added that he'd asked the man to "wait for the police to arrive", to which he said it "depends on his mood".
In a media statement on Friday (May 2), the Johor Iskandar Puteri police confirmed the incident and said investigations are ongoing.
They added that the two men involved in the incident were a 49-year-old Singaporean and a 21-year-old Malaysian.

China's DeepSeek ramps up hiring with job posts on LinkedIn
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox DeepSeek's US rivals like ChatGPT-owner OpenAI and Facebook-parent Meta Platforms have been racing to lure top AI talent. – DeepSeek is ramping up its recruitment on LinkedIn, suggesting the Chinese artificial intelligence start-up may be looking to lure talent from outside its homeland. The Hangzhou-based company posted 10 positions on the Microsoft-owned jobs and networking platform over the last week, its first listings for several months. The jobs, posted in Mandarin along with their descriptions, included three roles focused on artificial general intelligence, or AGI. The positions are based in Beijing and Hangzhou. DeepSeek did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Similar jobs were posted earlier in 2025 on popular Chinese recruitment sites. In 2021, LinkedIn shuttered a localised version of its platform in China, meaning many potential job candidates viewing the listings would be based outside of the country. DeepSeek's rivals in the United States like ChatGPT-owner OpenAI and Facebook-parent Meta Platforms have been racing to lure top AI talent in a quest to dominate what could be world-changing technology.

Singapore six-month T-bill cut-off yield tumbles from 2% to 1.85%
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox This is the eighth consecutive T-bill issuance since March for which yields have declined. SINGAPORE - The cut-off yield on Singapore's latest six-month Treasury bill (T-bill) has tumbled to 1.85 per cent, based on auction results released by the Monetary Authority of Singapore on July 3. This is a decline from the 2 per cent offered in the previous six-month auction that closed on June 19. It is the lowest level that yields have hit in the year to date, and marks the eighth consecutive issuance since March 26 for which yields have declined. T-bills are sold at a discount to their face value. The yield or interest is what you earn from purchasing the T-bill at a discount and holding it until maturity, when you receive the full face value. This is expressed as an annualised percentage. Demand for the latest T-bill tranche rose slightly. The auction received a total of $16.1 billion in applications for the $7.5 billion on offer, representing a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.15. In comparison, the previous auction received a total of $15.9 billion in applications for the $7.5 billion on offer, representing a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.13. The median yield for the latest auction stood at 1.76 per cent, down slightly from 1.95 per cent in the previous round. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.
