Singaporean stalker of Taiwanese singer Olivia Tsao gets six months' jail
A Singaporean woman has been sentenced to six months in jail in Taiwan after she stalked and harassed singer Olivia Tsao.
On Jun 5, Cassandra Low was found guilty by the New Taipei District Court of endangering the personal safety of Tsao, stalking and harassing her, as well as publicly insulting the singer.
The published court judgment, which Low posted on her Instagram and Facebook pages on Jun 11, cited how Low had been frequently sending messages to the 38-year-old multiple Golden Melody Awards winner through emails and social media since Nov 2023.

After Tsao blocked Low, who was identified as in her 30s, the latter began intimidating, stalking and harassing the singer.
Low had also entered Taiwan on Feb 2025 and followed Tsao to Banqiao High Speed Rail Station in Taipei, where she pulled Tsao, her suitcase as well as an accessory attached to her mobile phone. Low also stopped the singer from calling the police and forced the Tsao to unblock her on social media.
Low was sentenced to six months in jail, or a fine of NT$1,000 (S$43) for each day of imprisonment. She will be deported from Taiwan after either serving her jail term or paying the fine.
Tsao also shared her relief over the outcome on Instagram that same day.

Three injured in multi-vehicle accident on Bedok North Road after truck crosses divider
SINGAPORE: A traffic accident involving multiple vehicles occurred on Bedok North Road on Friday afternoon (June 20), leaving three people injured and several others shaken. The incident took place at approximately 2:20pm along the stretch of Bedok North Road heading towards New Changi Road. According to initial reports, a small truck lost control, believed to be due to slippery road conditions caused by rain, and veered across the central dividing embankment into the opposite lane, colliding with several vehicles in its path. Dashcam footage provided by a motorist who witnessed the aftermath shows the truck initially travelling in the left lane before suddenly skidding and mounting the central embankment. It then collided with a car in the right lane before crashing into an oncoming vehicle on the opposite side of the road, where it finally came to a stop. Speaking to Channel 8 News, the driver who submitted the footage said he had been on the way to Bedok Mall when he heard a loud bang. His view was momentarily blocked by other vehicles, but upon reviewing his car's dashcam, he discovered that the accident had just occurred behind him. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed that three individuals were conveyed to Changi General Hospital for treatment. Another two people sustained minor injuries but declined hospitalisation after being assessed at the scene. In a statement, the police said that those sent to the hospital included a 46-year-old male driver and a 39-year-old passenger of a minivan. The 28-year-old driver of the same minivan is currently assisting with police investigations. Investigations are ongoing.

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.
