Not quite a specific news story, but ongoing piracy. I found this map and some of the reports quite interesting:

The map above are reports for just 2014 so far. I know piracy is high in the region, I always assumed it was further up the Strait of Malacca, not literally at Singapore's doorstep. I guess I now understand better why the ships parked outside my old bedroom window facing the strait always had their lights lit up so brightly even in Singapore's waters.
