Founded in 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley in Cricklewood, London, the Bentley motor company quickly established a reputation for exceptional performance and engineering, famously dominating the 24 Hours of Le Mans throughout the 1920s with the help of the legendary 'Bentley Boys'. Following financial difficulties during the Great Depression, the company was acquired by Rolls-Royce in 1931, moving production to Derby and later to its iconic factory in Crewe, Cheshire, in 1946. After decades of being closely associated with Rolls-Royce, Bentley was purchased by the Volkswagen Group in 1998, a transition that sparked a significant revitalisation of the brand's identity as a manufacturer of luxury, high-performance grand tourers that continues to define its legacy today.

SINGAPORE: A supposedly relaxing experience turned into a nightmare when a woman was accidentally hit by an infrared lamp in a traditional Chinese medicine clinic while having a massage. The lamp was hit by the masseur, leaving a second-degree burn in the shape of a  ‘spider-web.’

The 57-year-old victim reported to Shin Min Daily News that on January 23, she went to have a massage at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic located at City Square Mall. According to her narrative, the staff used an infrared therapy lamp to help relax her muscles, but when the staff moved the lamp away using her food, the lamp accidentally fell onto her back. She immediately went to a nearby clinic to see a doctor, especially since she was in so much pain at that time. 

The victim declared: “The doctor said I had second-degree burns and gave me a painkiller injection and prescribed pain medication.” 

She then admitted that the staff immediately apologised and gave her S$1,000; however, she claimed that the damage should be paid by the company, so she returned the money to her. 

“After the incident, the owner of the Chinese medicine clinic contacted me. Although he said he would take responsibility, he pointed out that I did not have the clinic’s doctor examine me at the time. He also said that he would only consider compensation after his doctor or a doctor he designated examined me,” the victim further added. 

With this, the victim was encouraged to complain to the management and the police. 

No compensation given yet 

The victim then demanded S$7,000 compensation from the company, but was unsuccessful. She revealed that she had spent more than S$560 on medical expenses and would need to spend more on lasers to completely remove the scars. 

The clinic responded that they are willing to cover the relevant medical expenses, given that the victim would allow them to know her treatment plan. The victim said that she did not want to sign any treatment packages until the compensation issue was resolved.

SINGAPORE: A customer has taken to social media to share what she described as a stressful encounter with a durian seller in Geylang, warning others to be cautious.

In her post, she said she and her mother were buying durians from a stall near Block 113 Aljunied, opposite Geylang East Market & Food Centre.

According to her, she first selected a durian and asked the seller to open it for inspection, which he agreed to. Satisfied with the fruit, she then requested two more.

However, she claimed the seller later insisted she take a different durian he had chosen instead.

“I picked a small one for him to open, but he put it back and asked me to choose the one he picked, which was bigger. I was sceptical, but he reassured me it had more flesh,” she wrote.

She said the durian turned out to have hard flesh and large seeds, and she told the seller she did not want it.

The situation then escalated. She alleged that the seller raised his voice and insisted she pay for the fruit as it had already been opened.

She also claimed the seller had earlier said he would taste the durian and give it to them for free if the flesh was hard, but later refused when asked to do so.

Feeling pressured, her mother eventually paid $100 before they left.

The post drew responses from other netizens, some of whom urged consumers not to give in to such situations and to report similar incidents to the authorities. Others thanked her for sharing the experience and said they would avoid the stall.

It is unclear what the stall’s policy is regarding open durians. The seller has not publicly responded to the claims.
