CAR SPLITS IN HALF DURING FATAL ACCIDENT ALONG CTE, 26 Y.O MALE PASSENGER DEAD

In the early hours of August 11, 2023, a fatal car incident sent shockwaves through Singapore as a vehicle met a tragic fate on the Central Expressway (CTE).

The incident, which occurred just past midnight, left a car split into two harrowing pieces.

Unraveling the Tragedy

According to the Singapore Police Force (SPF), the preliminary investigation suggests that the car involved in the incident had self-skidded along a slip road on the CTE.

The details of what led to the skid remain unknown, but the aftermath painted a haunting picture of devastation.

Videos of the incident, shared on social media platforms such as Facebook and TikTok, revealed the horrifying aftermath.

The impact had torn the car into two clean pieces, leaving the front portion of the vehicle lying exposed on one of the lanes.

The back seats and wheels of the car, however, had been violently flung some distance away, coming to a rest on a road divider.

Swift Response and Ongoing Investigation

Multiple personnel from both the Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Civil Defence Force were deployed to the scene to provide immediate assistance.

A blue tent normally used to cover dead bodies was seen erected on the grass patch.

1 dead and 2 injured

According to Shin Min Daily News, a 26-year-old male passenger lost his life in the ordeal. The impact was so severe that he was flung out of the backseat of the vehicle, succumbing to his injuries at the scene.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

First responders were able to rescue another conscious man who had been trapped in the driver’s seat. The Singapore Civil Defence Force employed hydraulic rescue equipment to free him from the wreckage.

Beside the trapped driver was a female passenger, also 26, who was found unconscious in the front seat as well.

Both the male driver and the female passenger were then transported to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

Police investigations into the fatal accident are currently underway.

WOMAN EATING HER CHOCOLATE BAR, FOUND A HUMAN FINGER INSIDE WHILE CHEWING

In a bizarre and unsettling incident that has sent shockwaves through Sri Lanka, a woman’s innocent enjoyment of a “fruit and nut” chocolate bar took a horrifying turn. What began as a simple treat turned into a perplexing encounter that left her reeling in astonishment and disgust.

Unwrapping a Disturbing Surprise

A woman in Sri Lanka unwrapped a chocolate bar to eat, and as she savored her chocolate, she encountered an unexpected crunch.

What should have been a delightful mixture of fruit and nuts turned out to be an abnormally hard and resistant object.

Upon closer inspection, her shock and horror became evident as the supposedly innocuous object she had been attempting to bite into turned out to be a part of a human finger.

Unraveling the Mystery

The woman, a staff member of the Mahiyanganaya hospital, recounted her disconcerting experience. She had purchased the ill-fated chocolate bar from the hospital canteen, completely unaware of the disturbing contents concealed within, according to The Daily News.

The incident unfolded over a span of days. After initially taking a few bites of the chocolate, she stowed the remainder in her fridge. Days later, she went back for the leftover chocolate to finish it.

Curiosity led her to inspect a peculiar bump in the chocolate bar. Believing it to be a nut, she attempted to exert more force, hoping to break it down. Despite her efforts, the object remained unyielding.

With a growing sense of unease, the woman decided to investigate further. Holding the bump under a tap, she watched in disbelief as the truth emerged. The object she had been grappling with was, in fact, the severed tip of a human finger.

As the shocking incident came to light, disturbing photographs circulated on social media. The images depicted the dismembered finger, complete with an attached nail, and skin that was visibly peeling off.

Consumed by a mix of emotions including horror and disgust, the woman promptly reported the unsettling discovery to health officials in her area. The incident triggered a chain of events that would uncover even more troubling details.

Seeking Accountability and Answers

Public Health Inspectors (PHI) stepped in, conducting a thorough investigation into the incident. They seized other chocolate products manufactured by the company responsible after examining the affected chocolate bar and the hospital canteen.

In a bid to contain the potential fallout of the incident, the variety of chocolate implicated was swiftly recalled from store shelves in Mahiyanganaya town.

POLICEMAN SHARES HIS ENCOUNTER WITH PONTIANAK DURING PATROL, CAUGHT ON CAMERA

A 29-year-old auxiliary policeman from Malaysia, Ikhmal, shared a video of his purported encounter with a pontianak on TikTok, along with an eerie audio that sent shivers down viewers’ spines.

Unveiling the Mysterious TikTok Video

As the TikTok video gained swift notoriety, viewers were introduced to the protagonist of this otherworldly tale – Ikhmal, an auxiliary policeman.

Ikhmal’s 14-second video, uploaded on July 31, quickly became a viral sensation, amassing an astonishing 4.5 million views and counting. But what exactly does the video reveal?

In an attempt to share his spine-tingling experience and perhaps offer a word of caution to the curious souls out there, Ikhmal opens up about his motivation behind sharing this eerie encounter, saying that his intention is to share about his experience and warn others not to be afraid.

The audio accompanying the TikTok video added an extra layer of intrigue. Described as resembling the bleating sounds of an animal, the audio heightened the uncanny atmosphere of the encounter.

Ikhmal insist that the video was real and that he recorded it on his mobile phone.

The Unveiling of the Paranormal Encounter

The incident took place at about 2 am, where Ikhmal and a colleague found themselves on a routine patrol. As they meandered through their designated route, they heard a sound and it appeared like someone had went into the forest, according to Harian Metro.

The unexpected disturbance led Ikhmal and his colleague to investigate further. Their pursuit of the source of the disturbance would take them into the heart of a densely forested area.

Amidst the shadows and foliage, the duo had an astonishing encounter. A fleeting sight of a pontianak, a legendary figure in Malaysian folklore, sent a shiver down their spines.

Armed with his mobile phone, Ikhmal then tried to capture the supernatural entity on camera to prove it’s existence.

FAMOUS S’PORE BRAND LEE PINEAPPLE TO CLOSE DOWN BY END OF THE YEAR – END OF AN ERA

The beloved Singaporean homegrown brand, Lee Pineapple, renowned for its delectably tangy pineapple drink and an array of pineapple-infused canned offerings, is set to bid a fond farewell and close down by the close of 2023.

The news initially emerged in a Facebook group dedicated to gastronomic delights on August 3, 2023. The disheartening revelation illuminated that the factory nestled in Johor, Malaysia, would be putting an end to its manufacturing operations.

The Lee Pineapple factory, stationed at Jalan Skudai, Johor Bahru, stands as the sole manufacturer for this iconic brand.

The Echo of Confirmation

Subsequent to the Facebook post, various Malaysian Chinese media outlets corroborated the impending closure, echoing the news as early as August 8.

Among them, China Press reported that the factory had observed a temporary shutdown from July 30 to August 6.

The company, facing unfavorable farming conditions for pineapples, has decided to embrace a new chapter. Reports suggest that the company is now venturing into the cultivation of palm oil, a staple cash crop in the Malaysian landscape.

While the factory’s doors remain open, a significant shift is underway. The production lines are gradually reducing their output, and a solemn decision has been made – the factory is slated to halt the production of its signature canned pineapple products for good by the end of 2023.

A Sentimental Farewell

The announcement of Lee Pineapple’s impending closure elicited an outpouring of sentiment from ardent patrons.

Flocks of devoted enthusiasts, spurred by the news, converged upon the factory in a final bid to secure their treasured Lee Pineapple canned products.

From motorcycles to minibuses and even lorries, a parade of individuals embarked on a pilgrimage to stock up on their favorite pineapple-infused delights.

In Retrospect

As the final chapter of Lee Pineapple’s illustrious journey approaches, it’s a poignant moment to reflect on the brand’s enduring legacy.

For 92 years, it has delighted taste buds, etching memories of sweet and tangy indulgence. Though the factory may soon close its doors, the taste of Lee Pineapple will continue to linger, a reminder of a cherished era that has enriched the culinary landscape.

S’PORE SHOP CHARGES EXTRA 20 CENTS FOR CASHLESS PAYMENTS, NETIZENS ASK “IS THIS ALLOWED”

In recent times, the realm of consumer complaints in Singapore has been dominated by reports of stalls imposing steep prices for meals, generating waves of public outrage.

However, a fresh concern has emerged, this time in connection with contactless payments. The spotlight is now on a particular shop in Singapore that has garnered widespread attention for levying a S$0.20 charge on customers opting for cashless transactions, sparking a vigorous debate on the subject.

The Viral Outrage

On a fateful Wednesday (9 Aug), a concerned netizen took to the Complaint Singapore page on Facebook to share her recent experience at a local shop.

The pivotal point of her grievance was a seemingly innocuous QR code affixed to the shop’s premises, inviting patrons to make payments through their respective bank applications.

This modern and convenient payment method, however, came with an unexpected price tag – an extra S$0.20 fee.

Unraveling the Dilemma

The observant netizen couldn’t help but voice her perplexity over this peculiar practice. She raised a valid question – if PayNow, a prominent digital payment platform in Singapore, is devoid of charges, why was this particular shop burdening its customers with an additional fee?

Amidst the growing cacophony of opinions, the netizen threw another question into the ring – do businesses receive incentives or grants for adopting cashless payment systems?

This query hints at a larger consideration: if businesses are indeed incentivized to embrace cashless transactions by the government, should they then be imposing additional charges on customers who choose this mode of payment?

Netizens’ comments

  1. No it’s not true.. I run a business.. this qr code payment Is free we don’t have to pay any service charge.. pse report the shop
  2. There is no bank fee charge per transaction if QR code is UEN paynow but only charge merchant service & admin fee monthly. So this doesn’t matter with the consumers. Consumers shouldn’t pay this unknown fee while merchants have grants to claim from gov. Kindly report to MAS if you wish to. But can choose to ignore and just pay CASH
  3. Bank do charge Merchant for Paynow transactions. It’s not free
  4. I also run a business. My customers pay me via my UEN/QR code without any extra charges or fees. My bank also do not charge me any extras.
  5. Nb so free or not free?

LITTLE INDIA BAR OWNER ALLEGEDLY RAPED 17 Y.O XMM WHO RAN AWAY FROM HOME

LITTLE INDIA BAR OWNER ALLEGEDLY RAPED 17 Y.O XMM WHO RAN AWAY FROM HOME

41-year-old Raj Jumar Bala, the owner of a bar in Little India, went on trial on 10 August after being accused of molesting and raping a 17-year-old girl who ran away from the Singapore Girls’ Home and started working for him, according to The Straits Times.

The prosecution had lined up 13 witnesses to testify against Raj Kumar.

What happened?

The alleged offences took place between 21 February 2020 to 22 February 2020 at a rental flat.

A witness identified as B1, who had also run away from home, testified that she had been working and staying at Kumar’s bar in Dunlop Street after coming to know about the job opportunity from another witness, B2, who was also a runaway as well.

B1 had allegedly been assaulted by Kumar but continued staying at the bar because she was pregnant and a runaway.

The victim and a friend then learned from B2 about the job opportunity in February 2020 and went to interview for a job, and were hired by Raj Kumar who told them that she could stay at the bar with B1 and B2.

The bar was then raided on 21 February after someone acquainted with the runaway girls reported that they were working at Kumar’s bar.

He drove the three girls to a rented flat and said that they could stay there, before arranging for a staff to send their belongings over, as well as providing them with food and alcohol.

Kumar then proceeded to drink with the girls, with the victim then getting very drunk, before he allegedly engaged in obscene acts with the victim and B1 on the 2nd floor of the unit.

B1 then witnessed Kumar raping and molesting the victim, who couldn’t fend him off because she was too intoxicated.

The following morning, the victim told B2 that she was raped and left the flat, before heading to Kumar’s bar to collect her salary.

She then went to stay with a friend and told him about what had happened to her about 2-3 weeks later, before eventually turning herself in to the home (which she had run away from) on 20 July 2020.

On 5 August 2020, she then told her Ministry of Social and Family Development case worker that she had been raped.

S’PORE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, POLLING AND NOMINATION DATES, SEPT 1 AND AUG 22

Singaporeans are gearing up for a significant event that will shape the future of their nation.

On September 1, citizens will head to the polls to exercise their democratic right and cast their votes in the upcoming presidential election. However, the anticipation is not without suspense. The question of whether the election will be a contested one or a walkover will be unveiled on Nomination Day, slated for August 22. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of the Singaporean presidential election process and the factors that will determine its outcome.

The Presidential Elections Committee holds a pivotal role in shaping the election landscape. This committee is tasked with meticulously screening all individuals aspiring for the presidency. Their decision holds immense weight, as it will determine whether the election will witness a single candidate or a field of contenders.

The Countdown to Nomination Day

All eyes will be on August 22, the much-awaited Nomination Day. On this day, the nation will learn the outcome of the committee’s deliberations. Will there be multiple qualified candidates vying for the presidency, or will Singaporeans see an uncontested election? The answers lie in the hands of the committee.

The One-Candidate Scenario

In the event that only one eligible candidate emerges, Nomination Day will herald their formal declaration as the President of Singapore. This scenario simplifies the process, but it also reflects the uniqueness of the democratic system in Singapore, where the viability and popularity of potential candidates play a crucial role.

The Prime Minister’s Announcement

The Elections Department made a significant announcement through a press release, revealing that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had issued the writ of election. This act sets the wheels in motion for the upcoming election and signals the beginning of a period of heightened political activity in the nation.

In his Facebook post Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said:

“Today, I issued the Writ of Election for the Presidential Election. Nomination Day will be on 22 August.

A few individuals have already declared their intention to run for the Presidency. The media have widely reported on them, and I’m sure we will hear more from the candidates themselves during the campaign period.

The President represents all Singaporeans, and stands as a symbol of our unity and aspirations. Listen to what each candidate has to say, and assess them and their views carefully. I hope everyone will vote wisely for the best candidate for this important role. – LHL”

Recap

55-year-old Phoon Chiu Yoke, otherwise more famously known as the MBS Badge Lady, was handed new charges on 7 September for failing to wear a mask when it was still required.

She was charged with two counts of failing to wear a mask, as well as one more charge of not complying with an officer during investigations.

She is being accused of failing to wear a mask over her nose and mouth while strolling along the Mandarin Gallery at Orchard Road on 6 March at about 3pm.

She was seen without her face mask on by Xiaxue on that day, who was filming a video when she spotted the Badge Lady.

The Badge Lady is also charged with failing to attend an STB investigation for not wearing a mask, and she told the court that she plans to submit a plea with “mitigation factors” and is set to return to court on 14 October for a pre trial conference.

Unrepentant repeat offender

She was previously sentenced to 16 weeks imprisonment in September 2021 after pleading guilty to 9 charges of Covid-19 regulations breaches, with 13 other charges taken into consideration during her sentencing.

She has since been spotted by members of the public for failing to put on a mask after her jail sentence, at a time when wearing a mask was still required under the law.

GUY DUMPED BY GF BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BE “YOUNG AND WILD”

GUY DUMPED BY GF BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BE “YOUNG AND WILD”

A guy shared how he thinks he fgured out why his girlfriend dumped him, that it was because she hasn’t partied enough and wants to be young, wild and free.

Here is the story

I think I figured out why gf (22) dumped me.

She said, she wanted a break (I declined) because she hasn´t partied enough, wasn´t spontaneous enough, didn´t travel enough, hasn´t been single for long and needed to feel free.

She also said she was worried she was gonna miss out on being young and wild and all that.

Well I recently discovered FOMO (fear of missing out) and I think it fits this situation pretty well. Happens a lot from what I´ve read online.

Plus near the end she was meeting a lot of new people, who were pretty much all single, sleeping around shamelessly, clubbing all the time and I think she just started to crave the same.

AND when we met (2.5 year long relationship) she was kinda fat, which I didn´t mind at all, but throughout the relationship, she started to work out a lot, watched what she was eating and she lost a lot of weight, became hotter and I think she was getting more male attention, which I´m pretty sure she enjoyed.

Is it FOMO or am I missing something?

Netizens comments

Often when we’re grieving, we try to figure out why something painful happened because we think it understanding it more will make it hurt less. It doesn’t. Unfortunately it is a cruel reality of this world that we can not control anybody but ourselves, people can break up with us for any reason they choose, and no amount of logic can bring back feelings once they’re gone.

Get out of your head, go do something nice for yourself. You can only control yourself, and you can only truly know what you are thinking at a given moment. And that’s plenty.
