What you need to know about the road closures for F1 Singapore: Singapore live news

Imagine trying to get lunch as a university student but discovering that the tourist before you wiped out all the rice.

It sounds incredulous but that's one of the gripes a student at the National University of Singapore had about the tourist surge.

The local university has become a tourist hotspot but the surge is putting a strain on the students. In a video, they share some of the inconveniences faced – from an overcrowded bus (packed to the door) to stalls running out of food.

To cope with the situation, some students have resorted to leaving for class 30 minutes earlier so they don't miss their lesson or having lunch after the peak period.

Watch here to see what other issues NUS students face with the influx of tourists.

An American tourist missed his flight and what did he do? Cry and kick the airplane door.

A video of his antics was recorded and shared on X (formerly Twitter) where it's going viral.

According to Columbian media, the passenger showed up late for a flight that was scheduled to fly from Bogotá to Cartagena on 23 Aug. Crew members denied him entry but he bypassed them and attempted to board the plane.

When he found out that the aircraft door was closed, he threw a tantrum right outside and kicked the door. He even attempted to use the joystick on the boarding bridge to gain access to the plane.

The situation was only resolved when security and the police came to apprehend him.

It seems like horny Hong Kong teens have to play with shuttlecocks instead of something else.

Hong Kong authorities have reportedly asked young boys and girls to play badminton in an effort to curb their sexual urges and other "intimate behaviours".

Hong Kong’s Education Bureau published a 70-page document on sexual education for both students and teachers. The document stated that sexual fantasies and desires are normal, but "we must recognise that we are the masters of our desires" and control them.

The document also shared examples of what teens can do to distract themselves from sexual urges. One example stated that a boy and a girl can "go out to play badminton together in a sports hall" if they get aroused.

Local blogger, mrbrown, even took a jab at the news and quipped, "This would never work in Singapore. Have you ever tried booking a badminton court in Singapore?"

In any case, seems like "badminton friends" might be the new "friends with benefits".

With the Formula 1 racing back into town this September, there will be road closures around the Marina Centre and Padang area from 18 Sept

The roads will close from 12.01am, 18 Sept, till 5.30am, 24 Sept.

In order to facilitate morning and evening peak hour traffic, certain road corridors will open at selected hours on four of the seven days of closure.

Motorists can still access the Marina Centre area via Rochor Road to Temasek Boulevard, or through a single lane along Raffles Boulevard via Nicoll Highway or Temasek Boulevard, but only during selected hours.

Taxis and motorcycles can use the single-lane access at all times, except during race hours.

Members of the public and F1 ticket holders are strongly encouraged to take public transport during this period.

To help with that, train services will be extended during race days, from 20 to 22 Sept.

The last trains on the North-South Line (NSL) and East-West Line (EWL) will depart from City Hall MRT station at 12.30am on 20 and 21 Sept, and 12.45am on 22 Sept. Operating hours for the other train lines (except for the Bukit Panjang LRT service and Changi Airport service) will also be extended.

To complement the extended train service hours, selected bus services connecting to MRT stations will also have extended operating hours.
