Legend meets Legendary: Chow Yun-fat warms up for Singapore's Star Awards with a bowl of ‘bak kut teh'
SINGAPORE, July 6 — Hong Kong film icon Chow Yun-fat is in Singapore today for a very special appearance at the Star Awards, returning as a presenter for the show's 30th anniversary. And for long-time fans, it's a full-circle moment: Chow was there at the very first Star Awards back in 1994, all charisma and movie-star glow. Before hitting the red carpet, though, Chow did what any self-respecting foodie would: he made a beeline for bak kut teh. This time, it was Legendary Bak Kut Teh at Rangoon Road, where he was spotted casually tucking into a bowl of the good stuff — black tracksuit and all, like he just stepped out for a stroll rather than being one of Asia's biggest stars. But this isn't his first bak kut teh pit stop either. Back in 2016, he paid a visit to Founder Bak Kut Teh at Hotel Boss, delighting diners and staff with his famously down-to-earth vibe. Clearly, it's not just the Star Awards Chow keeps coming back for — it's the comfort food too.

Driver chases down lorry that damaged parked Audi after its rear doors swung open in Little India
After witnessing a Malaysian-registered truck driver damage a parked Audi, a man was determined to hold the truck driver accountable. Driver chases down lorry that damaged parked Audi after its rear doors swung open in Little India After witnessing a Malaysia-registered lorry driver damage a parked Audi, a man was determined to hold the lorry driver accountable. Stomper Alvin shared that he was driving past the junction of Townshend Road and Syed Alwi Road at 10.40pm on May 15. Suddenly, as shown in Alvin's video footage, the rear doors of the lorry ahead swung open in front of him. "The driver forgot to lock the back door," he said. "The left-side of the back door swung out and hit a white Audi car parked on the left side of the road. It was badly scratched and dented." The lorry driver continued driving after the incident, prompting Alvin to give chase. "I chased after the lorry, trying to stop it, honking and blinking my lights, but the driver drove off quickly towards the Hotel Boss carpark," Alvin recalled. "I was considering following it up, but I was worried about the safety of my wife and myself, as the confrontation might become violent." Instead, Alvin placed a note under the windshield wiper of the Audi. "I wrote a note, but I have not received a response yet, so I just reported it to Stomp," he said. "My main concern is the swinging back door. If it had hit a pedestrian who was walking along the road or waiting to cross the road, it might have caused a fatal injury."
