WOMAN TOLD GROUP UNDER HER BLOCK TO QUIET DOWN, RECEIVES A BAG OF URINE INSTEAD

0

Living in a peaceful neighborhood is a dream for many, but for one Beach Road resident, tranquility turned into turmoil as she found herself in a distressing situation involving a group of rowdy men causing a ruckus down her block

The Unsettling Noise

For 45-year-old Lily, the source of her distress was a group of middle-aged men who had been congregating at the void deck of Block 6 Beach Road since the previous year, according to Shin Min Daily News.

Their nightly music sessions that extended until 10pm had robbed her of peaceful sleep, and their daytime activities disrupted her work routine as well.

A Plea for Quiet

With her patience wearing thin, Lily decided to address the issue directly. She ventured downstairs to request that the group lower their volume and be considerate of their neighbors. However, her attempt at communication took an unfortunate turn.

Lily’s well-intentioned plea for peace was met with hostility. Instead of a reasonable discussion, she faced verbal threats from the group who even threatened to kill her. The situation got even worse when one of the men followed her to her doorstep, turning a mere disagreement into a confrontation.

On August 8, tensions reached their peak as Lily found herself in a physical altercation with one of the men. This individual not only subjected her to verbal harassment but also resorted to violent behavior, banging on her door and causing damage to her property.

The disturbing turn of events took an even darker twist when Lily stumbled upon a bag of liquid left suspiciously at her doorstep. The fluid, leaking and emitting a foul odor reminiscent of urine, left her deeply unsettled and fearing for her safety.

Faced with this alarming series of incidents, Lily took the necessary step to ensure her safety by filing a police report, documenting the harassment and the potential threat to her well-being.

Insights from the Neighborhood

In the quest to shed light on the situation, Shin Min Daily News spoke to local shop owners in the vicinity. Their accounts provided a broader perspective on the group’s behavior, with reports of public urination and defecation, with another shopkeeper revealing that his shop had been robbed before, raising concerns about the safety and well-being of the neighborhood.

S’PORE MAN WHO KILLED HIS TWIN SONS IN INFAMOUS BUKIT TIMAH CASE, JAILED 14 YRS

0

50-year-old Xavier Yap Jung Houn, who strangled his 11-year-old twin sons to death in a case that shook the nation back in 2022, was sentenced on 15 August to 14 years in jail, according to a report by The Straits Times.

This horrifying act was driven by his belief that killing his 11-year-old sons, who had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, would alleviate his wife’s burdens and protect his children from potential suffering in the future.

The Unthinkable Act

Xavier Yap’s tragic story unfolded on January 21, 2022, when he carried out his plan to end his sons’ lives. He took his twin boys, Aston Yap Kai Shern and Ethan Yap E Chern, to a playground near their condominium in Toh Tuck Road. After a brief playtime, Yap led them to a nearby canal.

Yap believed that by ending his sons’ lives, he could relieve his wife of the challenges they faced due to their autism spectrum disorder.

He also feared that his sons would suffer at the hands of others, leading him to believe that their deaths would protect them from future harm.

The Tragic Events

Yap’s disturbing actions unfolded as he used a stick to press hard against Ethan’s neck. When the stick broke, he resorted to strangling him with his forearm, ultimately submerging Ethan’s face in the water of the canal.

Aston, who had been watching his brother’s distress, also fell victim to Yap’s violence. Yap strangled Aston, pressing his forearm against the young boy’s neck until he ceased to move, then submerged his face in the canal as well.

Deep-Seated Struggles

The court revealed that the twins had been formally diagnosed with global developmental delay and autism spectrum disorder in 2017.

Despite recommendations for specialized education, they were enrolled in a mainstream school at the age of nine, struggling with communication barriers.

Yap’s deepening concerns for his sons’ future and his wife’s inability to accept their conditions led to his deteriorating mental state.

Claims wife was cheating on him

Xavier Yap is legally represented by a team comprising Patrick Nai, Choo Si Sen, and Choo Yean Lin, all associated with the law firm Tan Lee & Partners.

During the plea for mitigation, Yap’s legal team advocated for a maximum sentence of five years, asserting that the circumstances surrounding the case are undeniably tragic. They further elaborated on Yap’s situation.

According to his legal representatives, Yap’s defense rests on the assertion that his wife ceased to provide adequate care for their children and even subjected them to mistreatment.

Allegations put forth by Yap’s lawyers included the discovery of physical evidence, such as bruises and marks from a cane, on his sons’ bodies.

Yap’s defense also highlighted his claim of uncovering evidence indicating that his wife had engaged in an extramarital affair since the year 2021. Remarkably, on the very day of the tragic incident, Yap purportedly learned that his wife had “checked into a local hotel with her lover.”

The legal team emphasized that Yap’s intention was to liberate both himself and his sons from what he perceived as overwhelming suffering. The motivation behind his actions was rooted in a desire to be eternally united with his beloved twin sons, thus alleviating them from earthly tribulations.

Yap’s legal representatives underscored that the unfortunate offenses were committed during a period of severe impairment of judgment, primarily due to his ongoing struggle with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

Legal Proceedings and Sentencing

During the trial, Yap’s defense argued that his major depressive disorder, aggravated by his wife’s behavior and infidelity, played a significant role in the tragic events.

However, the prosecution emphasized the seriousness of the crime and its impact on vulnerable victims.

Ultimately, Xavier Yap was sentenced to seven years’ jail for each charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, totaling a 14-year imprisonment.

GIRL’S BF MAKES HER WAIT 2 HOURS FOR HIM ON THEIR DATES WITHOUT REMORSE

0

A netizen shared how her boyfriend is “too stubborn to listen” and that he is always late for their dates and makes her wait for more than 2 hours on their dates without letting her know earlier that he is going to be late; among other things.

Here is the story

They always say communication is the key. But my bf is too stubborn to listen. He has been always late and just let me wait for more than 2 hours without letting me know earlier that he will be late due to XXX reason. He just doesn’t bother to let me know earlier and sometimes doesn’t even say sorry. I don’t know if he doesn’t feel sorry or what. I have been communicating with him nicely so many times. No, he didn’t come back late due to OT or work. He just went out to have dinner or hang out with his close friends, and I’m sure he is not cheating with other girls.

Just to give some examples –

For some weekend nights, even he always promised to come back home around 10-11pm but every time will be late for more than few hours, he might come back around 2am. Sometimes he even will tell me he is not coming back, maybe he will come back the next morning around 10am. But the next day he didn’t come back at 10am, even until 8pm I still haven’t heard from him. I will be waiting anxiously and sometimes can’t even fall asleep because I’m worried of him.

I don’t know if he has a punctuality problem or he just doesn’t respect me as a person don’t respect my time.

They say you should give some space and freedom to your bf, that’s why I didn’t ask too much at first. I will send him WhatsApp texts and ask him where is he now but since he didn’t reply, I don’t want to call him and annoy him.

But now it’s getting worse. He didn’t even tell me who is he hanging out with, when i ask him ” which friend? Tell me the name and the address pls ?” He will just say some male names and tell me those are his colleagues. But he just doesn’t bother to let me know the details. All I know was “he went out to meet friends, meet colleagues

“but I didn’t even know ” why he went to meet them? For what? What time coming back? And where ?”

I’m definitely not a controlling gf as I respect his space and never check on his phone. But what he is doing now is killing me. I told him I’m very upset because of this issue he said ok he will change but still behave the same.

But when it comes to me, I will let him know who im hanging out with,  where am I and I even send him my live location. If i didn’t tell him, he will ask me cause he wants to know. I never hide things from him and always willing to inform him earlier if I’m gonna be late or if there is any changes.

Is it normal for guys to behave like him? I don’t want to make a scene as I’m trying my best to understand the problem and looking for a solution for both of us. Please advice.

Netizens’ comments

  • You sound more like his mom than his gf…
  • Good lord. Demanding to know the names and addresses of the people he goes out with?That explains everything. You don’t know how psychotic you sound like because you think this possessive and clingy behaviour is normal. It’s not.

GIRL REFUSES TO RETURN $60K ENGAGEMENT RING AFTER BREAKUP, WANT TO PAWN IT

0

A netizen shared how her “cheapskate” ex boyfriend texted her to ask her if she could return the engagement ring he gave her.

Here is the story

Need to rant. My ex-boyfriend is so cheapskate. Today he suddenly texted me and asked me if I could return him the engagement ring that he proposed to me with.

We dated for 4 years before he proposed to me in August last year. A month later, he quit his job because he wanted to start a business with his friends. I then broke up with him as I felt very disappointed with his stupid start-up dreams. Fortunately I met someone new at my workplace who’s way more mature and financially stable than him so I managed to quickly move on.

So today he told me he would like to sell the engagement ring as he would like to expand his business. I asked him why bother selling this ring as it’s not that expensive anyway. He then said that this ring costs alot to him as he saved up for 2 years to buy it because he knew that it was my dream to own this ring. Playing the sympathy card. Yikes.

To be honest this ring is not really super expensive, at most $60k? So I don’t understand why he is so determined to take it back. I am seriously disgusted with how thick-skinned he is, how he tries so hard to convince me to return him the ring. Somemore he already know that it is my dream to own this ring.

But when I told my friends about this, they all told me I should return him the ring and support him in his start-up dream and then ask my current boyfriend to buy me a new one. Seriously how to support such stupid dream? So should I return him the ring or not? I have the right to reject him right?

Netizens’ comments

  • What is your problem? Just return the ring if you think it is not expensive, you Sméagol. You can have your dream, he cannot have his? Theres nothing wrong with start-up dreams and it has nothing to do with one’s maturity. But your action and thinking are definitely cheapskate, disgusting, and immature. You were the one that found someone else and moved on, so you totally dont deserve the ring at all. You want the ring? Ask your current bf to buy lah.
  • this could also show how pathetic and desperate you are by keeping the ring when you are no longer attached to him.
  • So entitled and judgmental. Wonder why he even wasted 4 years with you or proposed to you. He really dodged a bullet there. He deserves a girlfriend who will support his dreams. He’s trying out something meaningful, not like he’s doing drugs or gambling.

FT WHO MOVED TO S’PORE SAYS HE LIKE TO SNITCH ON ANYONE WHO BREAKS THE LAW

0

I indirectly cause someone’s life to end. And I have 0 regrets.

This happened about 15 years ago and, before I moved in to Singapore. I won’t say which country I was in but it’s definitely the neighbouring country, and most like you can guess which.

Very important info for this story : I’m a snitch. Like a heavy, professional snitch. It doesn’t matter how small or insignificant it is, if it’s wrong, againts the rules or law, or simply immoral, I will snitch on you. I snitched on my friends cheating in exam, people recording in cinema, my friend cheating on his gf, etc. I never get caught, cause that’s how good I am at snitching. So I will never get those stitches. As for why I snitch? For fun. I simply feel joy seeing people’s plan got ruined for breaking the rules. It’s a guilty pleasure that I couldn’t explain.

So when I was in university, my bestfriend invited me to study together with his friends for our finals. So I agreed, but I’ve never been to his friends’ place before. When we reached there, I was shocked. They were doing drugs in their house. Ketamine, heroin, meth, you name it. I only know it cause I studied these things in my course. What’s dissapointing is that my bestfriend is involved and also doing drugs and deal with them too. I was extremely uncomfortable and dissapointed finding out about this.

I played it cool and act chill. After awhile, I pretended to have a phone call and told my bestfriend and his friends that I got to go back. They were so into the drugs that they barely even responded to me nor notice me. I went back home, took a heavy shower. And started my plan to snitch on them.

I put on some gloves to prevent my fingerprints being exposed, wrote down the address of their home, with a small note saying there’s something suspicious there, in a different writing style than mine so no one will know it’s me. Wore my medical mask, and prop glasses, went to the police station, and I pretended to give one of the police something they “dropped” behind, which was the paper I printed. Once he took it, I immediately walked away as the police got distracted reading the paper I gave. I then simply went back home and sleep.

The next day, I went for my finals but noticed my bestfriend isn’t present. Night falls, I decided to go to his house to check. But he’s not there. His parents was there and invited me inside. They told me everything that happened from last night till afternoon on that day.

Apparently police raided the house I gave the address to while they were still on drugs. They got caught, and sent to jail. I asked my bestfriend’s parents how did the police know, and they say the police “received a paper printed with the address of the house, from a stranger”. Apparently, police didn’t bother to investigate who sent that paper, they simply look at this person as a form of harmless vigilante.

But here’s what shocked me. After few days, my bestfriend’s friends got the death sentence for owning those drugs. But my bestfriend only got jail time for decades since he doesn’t own the drugs but consume it. I’m not sure about how the technicality of the laws work really. But, 3 people’s life ended, and 1 got decades of jail time, all because of me.

I regularly visited my bestfriend in jail before and he said he regretted everything about drugs. But what he doesn’t know, is that I did this to him and his friends. His parents spent so much money on some legal stuff to lower the punishment. They managed, but, it was only lowered by few years.

I still couldn’t believe that I indirectly cause someone’s life to end and made one of them stay in jail for so long. But, I have no regrets. Laws are laws. I don’t discriminate

You don’t want to get in trouble, then simply don’t break the law

Have a nice day everyone

MAN FEELS LIKE CALLING POLICE AS BROTHER AND FATHER GETS INTO FIST FIGHT

0

Should I ever call the police on my own brother?

The arguments between my brother and dad is starting to get overboard to the point that both of them are about to get physical with each other soon and I dunno what will happen next.

He has been out of job for 2 years, took a course in crypto coding kind of stuff to change jobs, and now cannot be bothered to get a job, everyday just leaching off parents at home, demanding for his meals and stuff, and giving a lot of stress to my parents.

He has other selfish spoilt brat comparison tendencies such as always trying to make sure he orders more expensive food and having more than me each time we go restaurant as a family. My parents has been catering to him the whole time everyday and things havent been going well at home.

Its getting to the point of too much on them and they are really tired of pampering this 37 year old grown ass at home who does not know how to cook his own meal at least, buy food and groceries for the family, boil water, do housework, or to make himself even the least useful for the family. He even steals my dad’s credit card to buy his own games, even though he have his own savings from working 10 years ago. Each time my dad tries to tell him off to go and get a job, they will argue big time. My brother claims hes trying to build up by self learning things at home . But we dont see it. All of us sees that he totally cannot be bothered, everyday eat sleep and play games and has not even applied for a single job. Dad and brother has been having countless of arguments recently

My brother has violent tendencies and cannot control himself when he gets mad, and since I was a kid and he had previously scratched and hit me over things when young, the scar on my chest still remains till now even 20 years later. And just now there was an argument over a small matter, brother got triggered because Dad told him off not to ask stupid questions regarding my aunt being in hospital now. And brother yelled at him first and not even respecting my dad.

No doubt he got triggered but he doesnt even have basic respect for my dad and yelling at him was clearly wrong to begin with. And they argued really badly till the point that my brother had his fist up and looked as though he wanted to punch my dad. It was really scary and emotionally traumatising for me because I really dont want anything to happen. Now dad wants to stop buying lunch, cancel his card to prevent him stealing stuff, and stop tending to him already to teach him a lesson on basic respect, after the latest argument just now.

I told my parents I would really call the police if things goes overboard. Dad was okay with it, but mum strictly refused me to do anything of that sort and told me not to get involved. And that if I call the police it would ruin his currently already ruined state of life forever. But how am I supposed to not get involved if its going to end up punching or even knives next??

I have been really emotionally worn out over this on top of all this work stress that is still ongoing with colleagues and stuff, my workplace future and stuff. I am clinging on to this stressful job so tightly because I cannot afford to lose my job or anything in this family mess as I am the only one supporting the family. I really want to walk out of all this totally.

MAN SAYS HE WORRIED HE CANNOT GET A GF BECAUSE HE DOES NOT HAVE A CAR

0

I see most girl have a boyfriend with car. I am currently single, travel by public transport most of the time, I have no intention of buying a car in Singapore, but I see most girl seem to be attracted by guy with cars. Is having a car essential for dating? what are my chance of getting a girlfriend, if I just meet the girl in mrt station? I am in my 30s btw. Is it a must for guys to have car in my age?

Here are what netizens think:

  • I have no car, I think a car boosts your chances to get a gf especially if you are young, Good luck.
  • No car better, so you know at least the girl likes you for you and not your expensive materials.
  • Come to think of it, there was this hype for guys to have the 5Cs in the past. But nowadays I hardly hear ppl talking abt 5Cs already.
  • The problem is you’re in your 30s and still asking this kinda questions.
  • No need. Find girls that drive will do.
  • Find a gf who don’t need you to have a car, not a princess who has legs but can’t walk
  • Girls on mrt also has bf. Just that their bf don’t need to chauffeur her around. They commute on their own.
  • I prefer someone who has savings and without a car RATHER thn someone who has no savings and living with a car. If you have the means to get it also doesnt mean you need to get it unless its a neccessity such as your job requires you to have one or the workplace is out of the way. Perhaps you could start with getting a license and you could rent a car on special occassions. 
  • That’s the facts now, your generation and younger generation all looking at practicality … If you no car, just stay at home and play games … you will feel better .
  • Left kar and right kar. If your middle kar long enough then you can have 3 kar 

MAN NOT HAPPY BROTHER-IN-LAW KEEPS PAYING FOR HIM, SAY “NO FACE”

0

My brother-in-law 45m often demonstrates a lack of respect for personal boundaries in various ways. For instance, he insists on paying for every meal we share, even though my wife and I would prefer to split the bill. Additionally, he often engages in preaching, using grand gestures and behaviors that he cannot consistently maintain.

Recently, I organized a birthday celebration for my wife and invited nine guests, including my brother-in-law. During lunch, he offered twice to pay for the meal. He even asked again as the meal was coming to an end, and my wife also declined. Despite my explicit request not to pay, he went ahead and paid the bill of $458 at the end of the meal.

I was pretty angry and frustrated and I refused to engage in conversation with him, walking off to my car and leaving a family chat group we share in case my anger got the better of me.

Later, my wife texted him and repaid the amount through a bank transfer after some discussion with him and without discussing my feelings with me.

Since that incident occurred a month ago, my brother-in-law has been acting as if he is oblivious to the situation, calling my wife daily for casual chats. Today, I reached a breaking point and asked my wife to stop enabling this charade. I’m unsure whether he feels guilty and calls daily to see if he will learn something or if he is simply oblivious to the impact of his actions.

A few years ago, he evicted my wife from his house because she fell in love with someone he didn’t know (me, duh). This behavior was extremely egotistical and contradicted his supposed care for her (evicting someone for dating someone he doesn’t know). Since then, our relationship with him has been strained, and he often treats us in a patronizing and condescending manner, as if we are socially inferior to him.

I need advice on how to manage this guy and navigate this challenging situation. His mom and wife haven picked his side and they’re calling us names. Very immature.

GIRL COMPLAINS SHE CANNOT FIND THE RIGHT GUY, WANT THEM TO OBEY LIKE DOGS

0

Hi all, in my late 20s now and with my current bf for a year plus or so and it’s getting really depressing. I don’t know why guys put in so much effort at the start only to act like this as the relationship progresses, literally only doing the bare minimum to keep the relationship alive. I have talked to him about this multiple times and it’s getting sooooo tiring. He always changes for awhile before reverting back to his usual self with work as an excuse.

Question is should I break up with him? I feel like almost all the guys are like this and it’s also very tiring to change bf so many times. I’m so lost as to whether should I give him more time to change or should I just be decisive and break up with him?

Guys if you see this and your girlfriend is complaining that you are not loving enough please take it seriously, maybe one day we will just give up and stop complaining and that’s it.

Here are what netizens think:

  • If you changed bf so many times and the end result is still the same, the problem might lie with you. It’s the choices you made and you’re probably attracted to the same category of guys. Don’t believe in words but in actions, if a man truly loves you he will show you via his actions. You won’t even need to ask if you should break up.
  • when you ask question like that it is already in your mind to break up.. perhaps you should ask yourself if you want to be with a guy like that instead..if you’re tired of relationships then stop for a while a year , two years or more and rebuild yourself then when u found a good one then you start again.
  • Sounds like you are the problem, why don’t you stop complaining, manage your expectations and be the loving gf that your bf deserves
  • Perhaps you could work with understanding each others love languages. How he wants to love you might not be how you want to be loved. How you WISH to be loved might not be how he shows as well. since you are at your 20s, you still got a wide selection to choose from but if you take too long, you will end up also selecting the remains from the lot. End of the day, red flags being red flags jus require both parties communication, listening, working tgther to make the relationship work. Lower your expectations will allow you to have less disappointment. Sometimes the things in your head are just nonsense and stop overthinking and keep yourself busy when you are away from each other. Love yourself as much as you would love to be loved. Dont hurt your mind. Also, have a btr approach when telling him things you like or dont like, no need for lady tantrums. After some time, the guy also sian.
  • It’s obvious you are demanding and you expect every single one of them to abide to your orders, you sure your father not adolf ah?
