More problems abound for Scoot, as its flight to Taipei was beset with some issues during landing at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport on Sunday, March 24th. It was reported that oxygen masks were activated as the plane landed.

The plane landed without any other major incidents, and all 178 passengers on board the flight did not suffer from any injuries. However, a female passenger reported that her baby had vomited during the descent. There was no reports by Scoot on why the oxygen masks was activated, but Scoot did confirm that medical assistance was rendered to the female passenger and her infant. 

The plane was grounded for investigations, affecting passengers who were booked on the return flight back to Singapore. 

Ravage Records, the organisers who brought Watain to Singapore, is bringing in a black metal band this time. They announced the tour named "eastern fire Puja tour" by the band Cult Of Fire on their Facebook page. The ticket prices and show timings are yet to be announced. But the concert will be held on 1 June 2019. The concert will be held at Ebenex Live Space.

The band, Cult Of Fire, originates from Czech Republic and specializes in Black Metal. Looking at the photo above, netizens questioned if Hindu's will take over and be the ones getting triggered by this event. Hopefully no petitions will come around and no last minute cancellations on the event will happen. Please save us the embarrassment.

Trending in Singapore: Petitions. 

Singaporeans have started yet another petition. This time, they are calling for the authorities to return a lorry driver's vehicle. The driver was involved in a fight with a cocky cyclist at Pasir Ris last year. The incident went viral a few hours after it was online, with netizens mostly criticizing the cyclist and saying that he deserved it. 

The lorry driver was investigated and had his vehicle impounded. Till this day, people continue to empathize with and help him maintain his livelihood. 

Without the lorry, the driver has to struggle to rake in an income. He used the lorry to deliver goods to earn money and still has to pay off its installment loan which totals up to $800 every month. 

His actions may have been uncalled for but netizens feel that the cyclist was also in the wrong and the driver should not be deprived of his livelihood. They are calling for the Traffic Police to return his vehicle. The petition has already gathered 3760 signatures. 

Petitions, petitions, everywhere. In this climate of petitions, do you think the Singaporean authorities will do anything or just stand idly by? The next time you feel unfair about something, will it spur you to create a petition too?

There are many kinds of people in Singapore. There are many weird kinds of people on the trains in Singapore. 

Recently, Facebook user Roco Kew posted a video of a woman's awful experience on the MRT. The woman was minding her own business with her baby on her lap when an uncouth uncle beside her started coughing loudly and deliberately at them. It seemed like he could have just been coughing in their direction at first but when the woman shouted at him to stop it, he continued coughing in their direction. It was obviously on purpose.

What is wrong with the old man? From the video, he definitely deserved to be whacked for his behaviour. Why do it on purpose when there is an innocent, clueless child? Why cough at the child in the first place? Is he mad?

Netizens have since flooded the comments to slam the uncle for being rude. A few even said that the woman should have gotten her son to pee on him. 

Just too bad. It would surely have gone more viral.

A man went on to Facebook to post a screenshot of his comments on a CNA article saying "I wanna do that to K Shanmugam. I swear" on an article talking about the egg boy, the boy who smashed an egg over a Australian Senator for his racist comments.

He also posted a photo of a yellow slip from our Singapore Police Force asking him to look for a police officer at Ang Mo Kio HQ. Is this comment worthy of the time spent to interview him over? Doesn't our police have better things to do? Or are they preparing to sue another citizen for a comment on Facebook. We hope that we can get more updates after the interview.

Exciting times are coming. Stay tuned.

Singaporeans love their petitions. A petition was started to ban and also reinstate the band Watain from playing in Singapore. Now, there's a petition going around on change.org to ban Nas Daily, aka Nuseir Yassin, from entering Singapore.

The petition, started by one Azman Samsudin, wrote:

Nas Daily has been documenting videos for 3 years with his final one being on the fifth of January, 2019. Due to the fact that his videos do contain stereotypical and also brainwashing elements and subliminal messages, we therefore wish to not have him here in Singapore to make matters worst.

He is a Muslim, but intended to have his own religion for his own benefits. What does that make him as a Muslim? Please support me by signing this petition to have him banned in Singapore, as he will be coming over and settle here starting from next month!

For those of you who missed out on yesterday's news of Nas Daily's move to Singapore, you can read it here: Nas Daily Moving To Singapore; Sinkies Not Happy.

At this time of writing, the petition has gathered over 1,400 signatures out of the targeted 1,500 signatures. One commenter summarized the reason why most Singaporeans do not like him:

Do you hope that the petition will go through and stop him from moving to Singapore? Let us know!
