Only in Yishun: TV that falls in upright position leaves netizens puzzled

There’s a reason why the #onlyinyishun hashtag exists, as it’s a place where unusual incidents can occur.

A few years ago Yishun North took first place in the list of least safe places in Singapore, having the highest overall number of crimes and money harassment cases for Singapore in 2016, but that’s another story.

Just this year, Yishun has been home to a person who threw tacks all over the PCN, a hoarder auntie who hung rubbish from trees, uncles who played mahjong at the stairwell of an HDB block till past 4 am, and a wild boar at Yishun Ring Road and monkeys in a primary school.

And on Sunday, a TV that fell perfectly on its side joined the #onlyinyishun hall of fame.

Twitter user Anthony Becker posted a photo of the TV on Sunday, Nov 6.

“What’s going on in yishun today?” he asked, writing “Yishun is generally a safe place over the photo.”

His tweet has gone on to be retweeted and liked multiple times, with fellow Twitterers having fun with the unusual image.

“Nothing good on tv these days,” wrote one.

Another joked that it was an “entrance to Hogwarts.”

Yet another netizen called the fallen TV a “shuriken” or a bladed weapon, usually in the shape of a star, that Ninjas use. Screen Shot 2022 11 07 at 3.01.38 PM

The photo was also shared on the Wake Up, Singapore Facebook page, where it was also widely commented on and shared.

Another called it a “very smart TV” since it was still standing despite having fallen
