KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 — Hey night owls and 3am shoppers, get ready to rejoice! Mustafa Centre, the iconic Little India hotspot in Singapore, is flipping the switch back to 24/7 mode starting September 6!

That’s right, The Straits Times reported that after a pandemic-induced curfew, Mustafa Centre is returning to its regular programming. A giant sticker proclaiming “We’re Back to 24/7!” has been plastered on the entrance.

Since its debut in 1995, Mustafa Centre has been the go-to destination for late-night shopping for Singaporeans (and Malaysians), offering everything from urgent household supplies to a bit of retail therapy at any hour.

During the pandemic, its hours were reduced to 9.30am to 11.30pm, and later extended to 2.00am.

The Straits Times said that netizens are already buzzing with excitement.

“Yaaas! I can finally grab those last-minute kitchen gadgets or snag some midnight meds!” cheered Jess Thia on Facebook.

A partial bridge collapse in eastern Germany disrupts traffic. No one was injured
Officials are investigating why a concrete bridge partially collapsed in eastern Germany early Wednesday, disrupting a major traffic artery in Dresden and interrupting the heating system for a city nicknamed "Florence on the Elbe” for its Baroque architecture. No one was injured when a section of the Carola Bridge fell into the Elbe River, the Dresden fire department said on its website. Police are treating the collapse as an accident, because there are no signs of foul play, according to German news agency dpa.
