SENIOR MOE OFFICER WHO DROVE AGAINST TRAFFIC WHILE DRUNK & HIT ANOTHER CAR, JAILED

43-year-old Edmund Lam Kiat Choong, a senior assistant director at the Ministry of Education (MOE) was sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment on Friday (11 August) after pleading guilty to one count of drink driving and another count of dangerous driving, after he was caught drink driving in 2022 and injuring another driver after crashing his car.

The incident involved a head-on collision with another car while driving against the flow of traffic, resulting in injuries to the other driver, according to The Straits Times.

Lam was also disqualified from holding all classes of driving licenses for 4 years and 6 months after his release from prison.

The Alleged Incident

On December 8, 2022, in Bras Basah Road, shortly before 2 am, Edmund Lam was reportedly driving under the influence of alcohol.

He had visited a restaurant on 7 December 2022 and consumed alcohol, before driving along Bras Basah Road at about 2am the following day.

According to court documents, he drove against the flow of traffic for nearly 320 meters before colliding head-on with another car, resulting in more than $11,000 worth of damage.

The driver of the other vehicle, a 54-year-old man, sustained injuries as a result of the accident. However, specific details about the extent of his injuries were not disclosed in the court records.

Legal Implications

The legal limit for alcohol consumption while driving is 35 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath. However, Lam was allegedly found with more than double that amount, measuring at 77 micrograms.

Lam has also since made full restitution to the victim for the damages caused.

Following the incident, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Education expressed their intention to mete out disciplinary proceedings once Lam’s court case concludes.

They emphasized that the ministry takes staff misconduct very seriously and will take appropriate disciplinary action against those who fail to adhere to their standards of conduct and discipline.

POLICEMAN WHO HIT MOTORCYCLIST WHILE DRIVING POLICE CAR & BROKE HIS FOOT, FINED

47-year-old Singapore police station inspector, Liong Hong Yeow, was fined $2,000 on Friday (11 August) after hitting a motorcyclist with his police car in an incident that took place in October 2022, resulting in the latter suffering fractures to his foot, according to The Straits Times.

What happened?

On a seemingly routine evening patrol on October 8, 2022, Liong Hong Yeow, attached to the Jurong Police Division, was maneuvering a police car around the streets of Teck Whye.

At the time, Liong was responsible for escorting an individual from Choa Chu Kang Neighbourhood Police Centre to the Institute of Mental Health, details of which remain undisclosed.

As Liong approached a junction on Choa Chu Kang North 5, with the traffic light shining green, he made a discretionary right turn.

Simultaneously at the same time, a 39-year-old part-time deliveryman was making his way towards the very same junction on his motorcycle, approaching from the opposite direction.

In an attempt to avoid a collision, the motorcyclist swerved to the left, but Liong’s police car couldn’t stop in time and hit the motorcycle, propelling the deliveryman onto the unforgiving asphalt.

In the aftermath of the collision, Liong immediately checked on the injured motorcyclist and called for an ambulance.

The deliveryman was transported to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, where he underwent a six-day stay and received 62 days of hospitalization leave.

Legal Proceedings

Liong pleaded guilty to causing harm to the deliveryman due to driving without due care and attention. The court imposed a fine of $2,000.

Furthermore, Liong also received a year-long disqualification from holding or obtaining any class of driving licenses.

A spokesperson for the Singapore Police Force said that their officers are expected to maintain the highest standards of conduct and uphold the law, and they deal with law-breaking officers accordingly, including charging them in court.

2 POLICEMEN CHARGED WITH TAKING MONEY THAT WAS SEIZED FROM SUSPECTS UNDER INVESTIGATIONS

2 POLICEMEN CHARGED WITH TAKING MONEY THAT WAS SEIZED FROM SUSPECTS UNDER INVESTIGATIONS

Two police officers, Mohamed Mohamed Jalil and Mohamad Danial Mohamad Nazali, were officially charged in court on Friday, August 11 for the serious offense of criminal breach of trust, according to a report by Channel NewsAsia.

The accusation against these officers revolves around their alleged involvement in accepting monetary payments from the suspects they were actively investigating.

Once these offenses were discovered, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) launched a thorough examination of the cases that the accused individuals were associated with, and they were also referred to the Internal Affairs Office for further investigation against them.

What happened?

Arguably, the most disconcerting aspect of this case revolves around the alleged misappropriation of funds that had been confiscated or reclaimed from the suspects in question.

Both Mohamed Mohamed Jalil and Mohamad Danial Mohamad Nazali stand accused of utilizing funds that were garnered during the course of their official duties as law enforcement officers.

In the case of Mohamed Mohamed Jalil, the allegations are tied to an incident that occurred in 2012. He is charged with the misappropriation of restitution funds that were collected from a particular suspect over a span of four years, specifically between 2013 and 2017.

Following his arrest on July 13, 2020, Mohamed Mohamed Jalil was subsequently suspended on July 16 of the same year. At present, he faces a total of four consolidated counts related to the criminal breach of trust as a public servant.

In stark contrast, the charges against Mohamad Danial Mohamad Nazali are notably more extensive. He is confronted with an overwhelming 23 counts of criminal breach of trust, in addition to 18 charges of forgery, and a staggering 74 counts of evading parking charges.

The breadth of these alleged offenses spans multiple cases that he presided over between the years 2017 and 2020.

He had allegedly misappropriated restitution money from the suspects and forged acknowledgement receipts to make it look like the restitution processes were being followed.

In response to the gravity of the allegations, both Mohamed Mohamed Jalil and Mohamad Danial Mohamad Nazali have been referred to SPF’s Internal Affairs Office for a comprehensive investigation.

While Mohamad Danial Mohamad Nazali’s conduct during his suspension, such as moonlighting as a taxi driver, has been brought to light, internal disciplinary measures are poised to be initiated once his criminal cases have concluded.

Furthermore, the police have affirmed their commitment to addressing the matter of compensation for the victims who have been adversely affected by the actions of these errant officers.

GIRL DOESN’T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS, BUT CAN’T EXPLAIN CHILDHOOD INCIDENT

GIRL DOESN’T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS, BUT CAN’T EXPLAIN CHILDHOOD INCIDENT

A netizen shared how she doesn’t believe in ghosts but still can’t find an explanation for something that happened when she was a child.

Here is the story:

I don’t believe much in ghosts, and many ghost encounters I hear of or experience myself. I count them as my hallucination or any coincidence etc.

But still this childhood event doesn’t makes sense to me. I tried to make many assumptions proving it could be my own imagination, but it seemed soo real.

Me and my sister were in our room playing and my father was watching TV and mom was in kitchen area.

It was fine when suddenly my sister saw a white translucent being with a beard and a grin on his face leaving our bathroom (which was inside our room) and moving to the living room.

My sister called me as I was facing backwards to the bathroom, I didn’t clearly see the whole figure just a white part of clothing at the brink of our door so I didn’t completely believe her. After 5 – 10 minutes my father started choking very badly and the creature returned our room this time I left the room earlier but my sister was there.

The creature this time made very evil loud laughter that I heard and my sister then ran out of the room after hearing that. My father after this laughter, started choking badly fainted and mom was outside calling the ambulance on phone.

It’s been years, everything is fine now. My parents are still unaware of any creature or a sound. But if only it was me or my sister alone, I could call it as some imagination. But we both at different place heard it and saw it (although I saw just a part of the creature’s clothes).

We changed our room after that and never used the bathroom. I did use it sometime in daylight but nothing happen. After we left home, the room and bathroom were not in use. Just during monthly cleaning.

One day my mother told us that while they opened the room there were hundreds of lizards on the walls, so many that the wall was barely visible and all in a blink of an eye rushed in a small hole outside like there was nothing before.

WIFE KPKB THAT HUSBAND SCOLD VULGAR, BUT OTHERS SCOLD IT’S OKAY

WIFE KPKB THAT HUSBAND SCOLD VULGAR, BUT OTHERS SCOLD IT’S OKAY

I’m just really confused by this… if I curse or use any vulgar language she gets visibly upset and tells me to stop doing it because she doesn’t like it all. Even if I’m talking to my friends or coworkers she tells me to stop doing it.

Well, this weekend her uni friends came to visit us and they were cursing up a storm. My wife’s friends husband (who she also went to uni with) was telling extremely vulgar stories and my wife was laughing hysterically. Every time he cursed my wife would giggle… She didn’t seem offended at all.. in fact she seem to love how he talked and told stories. If I were to ever say the things he said she would be upset about it for a week straight.

I approached her about it and she said that it’s not her job to correct her friend’s language and that she holds me to a higher standard that’s why she doesn’t want me to curse but it’s ok for her uni friends to use that language.

I completely understand that but that doesn’t really explain why she is visibly upset when I use vulgar language. If you don’t like it when people curse then anyone that curses around you should upset you or at the very least annoy you.

It just seems so weird to me that she is not only ok with her friend’s language but she actually finds it funny and entertaining.

I kept pressing the issue and my wife said that it’s also because she’s known her uni friends longer then she’s known me.. really??? We’ve been together for 4 years.

Is there a 10 year buffering period before I can curse around my wife? …. I’m just confused about all this.

PRC MAN SCARE HIS GF GETS HEART ATTACK AS HE QUITS JOB & BALEK KAMPONG

PRC MAN SCARE HIS GF GETS HEART ATTACK AS HE QUITS JOB & BALEK KAMPONG

I’m from China and my wife got a job offer in China so we’re very excited to move back home for a new adventure. But it doesn’t seem so for my manager who depends on me a lot at work.

She is sort of a pathological liar. I started working with her two years ago and everyone warned me about it. She really likes me and according to her “I have never trusted anyone I worked with as much as I trust you”. Being in a small department, it’s just the two of us handling all the work and she could be very controlling. Plus all the lies here and there really annoy me on a daily basis and I’m actually very glad that my wife gave me this excuse to resign and leave the company.

The Problem:

She had COVID during Christmas and is currently suffering from some side effects. I forgot the name for it but she has a heart infection with some liquid building up which is pretty dangerous and needs rest so she has been working from home for the past few days.

Yesterday I called her to tell her I quit and before bringing up the subject, naturally, I asked how she was doing and if she was feeling better. She told me that she was still feeling sick and that her chest hurt. Her doctor told her to stay in bed and out of stress for a couple of days.

Then she proceeds to give me an example: “if I get a phone call right now with some bad news I could actually get a heart attack.”

As you can imagine, at that point I started to panic, imagining how my bad news was gonna kill her through the phone.

“So what’s going on? Why are you calling?”

“No no no reason! I just wanted to check on you and see if you were doing any better! Byeeeeee!”

I’ll wait until she gets back maybe next week to tell her in person so I can at least call an ambulance if she does get a heart attack.

GIRL HAD EXPLOSIVE LAO SAI ON PANTS, PAI SEI UNTIL GHOSTED HER DATE

“i had a bad stomachache when my date sent me home on grab and we alighted at a bus stop near a petrol station

But I couldn’t reach the toilet in time. I ghosted him after that day but to my surprise, he is still asking me out. Valentine is coming. I don’t know if I should go out with him again. To be honest, I don’t know how to face him… he is from NTU and his results are really really good.. he is a good guy and I really really like him but I don’t know how to face him after that day”

Here are what netizens think:

  • Perhaps you are so tasty that even if you are covered in sai you are still edible.
  • When he has seen you at one of youe worst situations and still wants to go out with you, he’s a keeper. Proceed.
  • Don’t worry too much about it. If he’s asking you out again, it should mean that he understands you are only human and that nature calls can’t be controlled. You are no longer primary school kids.Of course, if he asks you out for the purpose of teasing you, it’s also good because you can conclude that he’s not mature enough to be a keeper.But from what you described, it feels he’s more like the former. Give it a try.
  • He likes your smell. Go for it
  • If he has seen you at your worst situation and still asking you out… then he is a keeperIf you get married and grow old together, you guys will surely say a lot of shitty stuff when fighting, and clean your partner’s shit when they are bedriddenSo yeah.. it’s a good thing you have started early on your first date
  • Things got off to an explosive start

GIRL DESPISE MEN WHO SPEAK SINGLISH AND THINKS SHE ROYALTY

GIRL DESPISE MEN WHO SPEAK SINGLISH AND THINKS SHE ROYALTY

I have gone on 2 dates with a guy whom I met on a dating app and I’m not sure if I should continue going out with him.

We are of the same age and can click reasonably well, and share some similar interests. However 2 aspects of him bother me.

Firstly – he doesn’t behave as is expected of a gentleman. For instance, he doesn’t hold open the door for me, pull out the chair for me at the restaurant and say ‘please’ or ‘thank you’ to the waitresses. On the second date, I brought a big-sized item but he did not offer to help me carry it at least.

Secondly – he tends to speak too much Singlish while I’m more comfortable sticking to the correct form of English / Chinese I’m using. I am a bit surprised as he holds a masters degree and works in a reputable firm. I don’t know if I’m fussy but I was brought up in a family that emphasizes a lot on courtesy and presentation of oneself.

He has asked me for a third date and I’m not sure how to reply to him. Given that I don’t know him that well yet, is it bad that I point out these issues straight up to him?

Here are what netizens think:

  • Right… The thankless waitress bit does raise an eyebrow on courtesy, but as for yourself… You looking to date a class act is it? Gentlemanly gestures like those are not an obligation, but a bonus, when you consider the typical culture of our nation.That said, the lack of gentlemanly actions are simply things to frown upon if they don’t meet your standards on what makes a man. You’re only dating now, he’s free to be himself, and so are you.Red flags are such an easy word to overuse. If you’ve already dated or started dating and his attitude suddenly changes to this, then that, is an actual red flag. Because nobody just loses their manners or upbringing in an instant and without reason.
  • Pull chair and open door? Does the guy need to call you your royal highness too?
  • Think twice what is so special about you yourself.
  • I used to work in a UK company, my boss asked “why it is when you speak to me, you speak proper english, but when the few of you (singaporean) together i couldn’t understand a single word even i know it is english. there is nothing wrong in speaking singlish with friends and family, i too have master. in workplace when we speak with clients, supervisor, doing presentation we used proper english. If you look down on him no point in going further, just stay silent and he will get the message
  • Oi! Ah girl ah, why you boh suka limpeh talking singlish leh? We are Singapore lang and should embrace our culture mah.And oso why beh tahan limpeh no move chair or is open door huh? This is 2022 lah. Woman can open own door mah. So picky one you. Aiyah, limpeh 看错了 you. So beh gum one. 算了! Limpeh not taking you out again. 算 limpeh pai mia to meet you. So sway one.

WOMAN NO LONGER ATTRACTED TO BOYFRIEND BECAUSE HE GANIED WEIGHT

WOMAN NO LONGER ATTRACTED TO BOYFRIEND BECAUSE HE GANIED WEIGHT

A woman shared how her boyfriend had gained weight and she is no longer attracted to him.

Here is the story:

I have the best boyfriend ever. He is so smart and kind, and I adore him. We have been together for 6 years, living together for 3.

For the past few years, he has been gaining weight. He has gained about 13 pounds total, and he is just on the cusp of being overweight.

I still love him and think he is the bees knees, but I am just not feeling physically attracted to him anymore.

He used to be a big runner and was very thin and fit when we first met. We used to love to run together but due to an injury I am no longer able to run.

I love working out and go to spin classes and lift weights, but my gym is women’s only (and his gym is only for employees) so unfortunately going to the gym together isn’t really an option.

I did tell him about a year ago that I would like for us lose weight (I had gained a few pounds too) and have been cooking healthy meals for us. I was able to lose 10 pounds, but he was not.

Am I totally selfish? I really don’t want to throw away an amazing relationship with a fantastic human, but I can’t spend the rest of my life with someone I’m not physically attracted to. Any advice?

Netizens’ comments

I’m not saying it’s wrong to want to be physically attracted to your partner, but consider this. Beauty fades, no matter how hard you try.

People get older, gain weight, get wrinkles, lose their hair, etc. It is inevitable that no man you date is going to remain as attractive as the day you met them for their whole life, and you will not remain as attractive either.

If he hadn’t gained weight now would you have still loved him when he starts going bald or gray? Would you still love him when his face is covered in wrinkles?

Not every love is unconditional. But if you leave him because he gained weight and he eventually loses that weight will you regret it?

If you date someone new will your relationship be in jeopardy if they stop being as attractive? And as you get older, and less attractive would you expect your relationship to weaken? Life is hard, and long.

Your relationship needs to have something deeper and stronger than looks to survive the test of time, or you wont have any partner at all. Otherwise you can expect to have nothing but superficial relationships where one of you is always ready to walk away if things arent perfect.

It all depends on what you want and where you see yourself. I’m not even saying you have to stay with your bf. Just some things to consider for any relationship you may have going forward.

I will say, if you leave him now let him be. Don’t come crawling back when he’s attractive enough for you.
