NetLink Trust confirmed today that a single third-party contractor has successfully dismantled Singapore’s multi-billion dollar "Smart Nation" dream using nothing but a rusty excavator and a total disregard for blueprints.

The cable cut plunged 5,000 residents into a terrifying pre-industrial era where they were forced to acknowledge the physical presence of their own families.

“I just hit a big grey wire and suddenly I heard a collective scream from every HDB block in the North-East,” said the excavator operator, who is currently being hunted by a mob of angry teenagers.

“I didn't know the entire digital backbone of a global financial hub was held together by a single piece of copper I could snap with a garden spade.”

Affected users reported immediate psychological trauma, with one Punggol man found sobbing because he couldn’t verify his identity on OnlyFans to see a girl eat a banana.

In Ang Mo Kio, a mother of three was reportedly seen screaming “Refresh! Refresh!” at her own children.

IMDA has vowed to take "strong action," which likely involves sentencing the contractor to explain why the internet is down to 5,000 furious Karens.

Experts say this event proves Singapore’s infrastructure is exactly as robust as a wet tissue.
