A Singapore Muay Thai fighter was left critically injured after competing at the Fight for Hope amateur Muay Thai tournament at the National Stadium, raising questions about just how dangerous amateur combat sports can be. 🥊 While the word “amateur” might sound less intense, it doesn’t mean light sparring — fighters can still compete in full-contact Muay Thai, with punches, kicks, knees and elbows. So what actually separates amateur Muay Thai from professional fights? We look at the rules, protective equipment and safety measures used in amateur competition, as well as research into how common serious injuries are in the sport. Here’s what you should know about the risks of amateur Muay Thai — and we’re wishing the injured fighter a safe and full recovery. 🙏🏻👊🏻 #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #muaythai #sgtiktok #sgviral

Seen drinks going for up to 67% off around Singapore? 🥤 You’re not imagining it. Retailers including Don Don Donki, K-Market and other shops are discounting non-BCRS drinks as they clear old stock ahead of the Beverage Container Return Scheme starting on October 1. Some retailers are offering steep discounts on drinks without the new “10c SG Return” logo, while others are clearing thousands of old-label cans and bottles. But why are these drinks suddenly so cheap, and how big of discounts could you possibly find? Let us know if you are getting in on the action! #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #sgtiktok #sgviral #beveragecontainerreturnscheme
