pub or café ? owner/operator trying to pull a fast one... Hood Vibes pub at Yishun HDB void deck draws complaints of noise & patrons smoking outside A newly-opened pub at the void deck of a HDB in Yishun has apparently drawn complaints from residents and caught the attention of a Member of Parliament (MP). Hood Vibes is located at 468A Yishun Street 43. It seems that the pub started operating around a month ago, according to when their business hours were last updated on Google. Goh shared that he was accompanied by officers from the Housing Development Board (HDB), who informed him that a café license had been granted to the business, and who "were also surprised to see what was clearly a liquor joint". HDB told Goh that they are investigating into the potential breach of licensing conditions. Goh assured residents in his post that HDB is looking into the matter, and highlighted that the agency "will do its part to prevent dis-amenities, and mitigate disturbance to the peace and safety of our neighbourhood". A resident of 469A Yishun Street 43, a neighbouring block from the pub, spoke to Mothership under condition of anonymity. She is part of a WhatsApp group chat which includes residents of the area, and shared that there have been complaints of pub patrons smoking outside the place and creating noise. Some have also said that apparently, the music from the pub is quite loud. Since the pub opened, residents with children also "have to walk a longer route away from the area" when heading to or leaving their home to avoid the patrons smoking there. The resident shared that the pub was still operating as of Aug. 16.

Police Bike Spotted At HDB Void Deck, Netizens Wonder How It Got There source: https://mustsharenews.com/police-bike-void-deck/ Police Bike Spotted At Ang Mo Kio HDB Void Deck Traffic police officers are very often seen patrolling our roads and expressways, keeping them safe for motorists. On Wednesday (27 May), however, a traffic police officer was apparently seen at the void deck of an HDB block in what appears to be a rather bizarre incident. While netizens couldn’t help but wonder how he ended up in the predicament, one witness apparently said that the officer had skidded and crashed while chasing after another bike. Police bike apparently skidded at Ang Mo Kio void deck Based on the pictures, the incident apparently happened near Block 619 along Ang Mo Kio Ave 4. In one of the images uploaded on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook group, a traffic police motorbike was seen toppled over at an HDB void deck. A man wearing the traffic police attire was seen nearby, appearing to be speaking and gesturing to another person. The surroundings were filled with streaks of water, which could’ve contributed to the incident. A crowd had also formed at the scene, presumably of people staying around the area. At least 4 police cars and motorcycles were also seen parked near the HDB block. Police officer apparently gave chase to another bike A witness who stays near the block told MS News that she heard a “loud acceleration noise” followed by the sound of glass shattering. According to her, the traffic police officer was chasing after another motorcycle at around 4pm on Wednesday (27 May) when he skidded at the void deck. She added that the vicinity was wet as there were allegedly cleaning works going on at the time.

MS News has reached out to the police and will update this article when more information is available. Hope the officer didn’t suffer serious injuries Regardless of what had happened, we hope the traffic police didn’t suffer any serious injuries. This goes to show the very real dangers that traffic police officers are putting themselves in whenever they don their uniform for work. We hope this encourages Singaporeans to be more appreciative of their hard work to keep our streets safe. Featured image adapted from Facebook and Facebook.
