Woman slammed for using restaurant chopsticks to feed pet dog
Photo: Freepik (for illustration purposes only) SINGAPORE: A woman has come under fire online after she was seen using restaurant chopsticks to feed her pet dog during a meal at a hotpot restaurant in Bugis. The incident reportedly occurred on the evening of June 7 at around 7pm at Bugis BBQ and Hotpot, located at Bugis Cube. A diner, who witnessed the interaction, captured the moment on video and submitted it to citizen journalism platform Stomp. In the video, the woman is seated at a booth with her dog standing on its hind legs next to her. According to the eyewitness, the woman was seen attempting to feed the dog using her chopsticks. 'I even saw the lady trying to feed the dog with her chopsticks. I think it's kind of inconsiderate,' the witness told Stomp. The act drew backlash from members of the public, many of whom expressed concern about hygiene and etiquette in shared dining spaces. A spokesperson for the restaurant clarified the establishment's pet policy and told Stomp, 'Pets are allowed in the outdoor areas of our restaurant. However, regarding the customer feeding the dog with her chopsticks, our staff were not nearby and had no knowledge of the incident.' The spokesperson added that due to the size of the restaurant, it is not feasible for staff to monitor every customer closely. 'As our restaurant is quite large, it's not possible or appropriate for our staff to constantly watch every customer, as that would be considered impolite,' they explained. Following the incident, the restaurant has taken steps to remind staff of hygiene expectations and customer conduct. 'Our manager has informed all staff members to make it clear to customers that they are not allowed to use our utensils to feed their pets,' the spokesperson added. While some online comments defended the woman's affection for her pet, many others called for stricter enforcement of dining etiquette, particularly in shared dining environments like hotpot restaurants, where utensils often come into contact with communal dishes.

Another Stomper receives scam call from fake SGH staff, urges more awareness for elderly
Another Stomper receives scam call from fake SGH staff, urges more awareness for elderly Welcome to Stomping Ground - a space where Stompers share reflections, personal essays and social commentaries that spark conversation and insight. Yet another person has come forward about receiving a suspicious call from someone claiming to be from Singapore General Hospital (SGH). Stomper GC wanted to share her own experience after reading an earlier Stomp report on how a 71-year-old retiree outsmarted a scammer claiming to be from SGH. The 69-year-old said she received a call on her landline on June 5 from a man speaking in Mandarin and claiming to be from SGH. "I kept asking him to speak in English, but he insisted that in Singapore, the majority can speak Mandarin," recounted the Stomper, who is semi-retired. "I told him, 'No, you called me, so you speak English'. "He was unable to so I raised my voice to tell him to stop asking me to speak Mandarin." Before hanging up, the caller made a remark in Mandarin: "这么激动干嘛" ("Why so worked up?"), which the Stomper called "a great joke." GC said she later contacted SGH's official hotline to check if similar scams had been reported and was told that the hospital was aware of such incidents. She was asked if she had shared any personal information with the scammer. "I told SGH that I did not give them the chance to ask me anything as I had insisted throughout that I wanted to communicate in English only," she said. "My objective in calling SGH was not just to check, but to urge them to raise more awareness among their patients. "Many elderly people at home, who may only speak Mandarin, are their patients and can easily fall prey to such scams."
