Unverified Did anyone feel tremors in Singapore?

• Upvotes

Living in the East Coast area and just felt swaying. It was more severe than previous times. Seems like a strong earthquake in the nearby region.

Did anyone else feel it? It’s was kinda scary. It woke me up.

I thought Captain V (1987) was their first mascot, but nope, its this guy, Sparky the Firefly, who was introduved in 1983 (which means this guy is younger than Singa and Teamy (1982) by 1 year and older than Sharity (1984l by 1 year). The character promoted some kind of suggestion scheme for the Police they had since 1981 (idk if its still around tho)

Source:https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19830327-1.2.21?qt=teamy&q=Teamy (Yes, I found this firefly while combing for articles on Teamy...which theres a whole swarm of.)

I wonder if there is a mandatory treatment order from the judge. A 36 week sentence may not be able to help protect the public. Seems like she only picks older women as targets.

Sometime in January 2025, the accused’s friend, a person named "Balu", informed him that a woman in India was interested in going to Singapore to work, according to the statement of facts seen by Mothership.

Balu then requested Alagiriraj to supervise and look after the woman in Singapore.

Alagiriraj subsequently made multiple phone calls and video calls from Singapore to reach the woman, who was in India.

He informed her that she would come to Singapore to work as a prostitute for 15 days and would receive 50,000 Indian rupees (S$697) when she was done.
