OPINION: Bullshit from Pilipino Independence Day Council of Singapore (PIDCS)
The mainstream media reported on Tuesday (27 May) that the Pilipino Independence Day Council of Singapore (PIDCS) decided to cancel the celebration of the Philippines’ 116th Independence Day altogether for this year, "owing to difficulties in getting alternative locations" for the event. That's pure bull.
The real reason is that their stubborn insistence to convene the 8 June happening at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza Singapore was rejected by the Singapore Police Force (SPF) due to “public order and safety issues”.

In the incident which happened near VivoCity recently, the cyclist cruised into the middle of a traffic junction while the red light was still on.
The cyclist went on to annoy the driver by cycling slowly at the front, swerving from left to right, constantly looking back at the driver and showing a hand gesture as if asking for a fight.
When both road users finally turned right towards the shopping mall, both vehicles finally stopped and the cyclist was seen trying to confront the driver. The footage ends here.
The rule says that cyclists in Singapore are only allowed on the left side of the road unless they are overtaking another vehicle. Full story
