The Police have arrested two teenagers, aged 16 and 18, for their suspected involvement in a case of theft of motorcycle.

On 22 January 2024 at about 8.40pm, the Police were alerted to a case of theft of motorcycle at a carpark along Toa Payoh North. The stolen motorcycle was recovered by the Police on the same day along Toa Payoh Lorong 1. 

Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from CCTV and Police cameras, officers from Tanglin Police Division established the identities of the youths and arrested them within six hours of the report.

The two teenagers will be charged in court on 24 January 2024 with the offence of theft of a motor vehicle with common intention under Section 379A read with Section 34 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to seven years, and a fine.

The Police would like to advise all motorcycle owners to adopt the following crime prevention measures:

1. Park your motorcycle in well-lit areas; 
   
2. Install an anti-theft alarm for your motorcycle; 
   
3. Use a motorcycle canvas to cover the motorcycle, securing both ends; 
   
4. Use additional locking devices such as disc brake locks or install a suspension guard;
   
5. Remove the ignition key and lock the motorcycle, whenever it is left unattended; and
   
6. Do not leave spare keys inside the motorcycle storage box.

I’ve lived in my apartment for 11 ½ yrs. 6+ months ago new neighbours moved in above us. I have kids myself but as we live in condos I don’t let them do anything that might bother anyone; screaming, running/bouncing balls inside, etc.

What can I do?

My future SIL accidentally sent a text about me to me, insulting how I looked in wedding dresses I tried on.

I (28F) have been with my fiancé (40M) for 6.5 years. We got engaged in December 2020 and our wedding is in March 2023. It has always been pretty clear that his family, mostly his sisters-in-law, don’t like me. For 6 years I have been trying so hard to be accepted by them, but their disdain is obvious and they do not hide it well. That was outright proven last night.

I tried to involve them in the wedding planning process so in a group chat I texted his three SILS and his mom some favorites from when I went wedding dress shopping. His mom commented that they were all lovely dresses. SIL1 (40s F) put a “heart” emote on the dress she liked best. SIL2 (30sF) was busy at work and chimes in later, doing the same. Immediately after that, another text from SIL1 comes in: “I hate how you can see her tattoo in most of them.” (With a face palm emoji.)

I was crushed. Not even that the comment was that bad, but this just confirms that she’s been talking about me in a mean way to another family member, and that really stings. I’m not surprised, the two SILs are huge gossipers, but it doesn’t stop it from hurting. This day is so special, every bride wants to feel beautiful….and I just wanted to be nice and involve them since they are future family.

To make matters worse, she tried to say that it was meant for a different text message, where they were talking about somebody else. So not only does she think I look like crap in the dresses, but she also thinks I’m an idiot.

Both SILs tried to cover the mistake in the chat by acting more excited, asking questions and saying compliments, but that only made it worse. I haven’t said anything.

How do I move forward from this? Do I say anything at all? I can include screen shots of the texts in the comments if requested.

My son has always been fond of being his own boss. I guess that came to him naturally because I ditched my job and founded a successful business.

Through sheer luck and dedication, I made good money. Seeing me, he made up his mind of starting his own business and he asked me for a business loan.

In the world of social media influencers, Malaysian pianist Cathryn Li has carved a niche for herself as the “Piano Goddess.” Beyond her musical prowess, she has gained attention for her svelte figure, and recently, she revealed the unconventional secrets behind her physique – a strict diet that excludes desserts, barbecue, and even the beloved hot pot.

A strict diet

Malaysian influencer and pianist Cathryn Li, who is known as the “Piano Goddess,” recently shared her secret to maintaining her figure: eating a strict diet that consists of no desserts, no barbecue, and no hot pot.

Li’s meals, which she often showcases on Instagram, typically include quinoa, corn, broccoli, eggs, asparagus, and lean meats like beef and chicken. According to Li, she has been following this diet for the past five years.

In a recent Instagram post, she wrote, “Persistence for five years is no longer called persistence, it’s a habit.”

“I’m not fond of sweet foods. I only eat hot pot once every two months and barbecue once a year.”

Previously, She faced backlash for stating that women who wear a size M and above are fat.

In an Instagram Story to her millions of followers, she wrote, “In Asia, S means M, M means L. Anything above M is as sinful as obesity.

If you are size six and above, please stop eating and move your A to the gym already.”

She apologized soon after, acknowledging that her statement was “highly offensive and insensitive.” She added, “With over a million followers, I know that I am responsible for the content of the posts I share. I am deeply sorry for the hurt, anger, and disappointment I have caused you [all].”

A netizen shared how his/her sister is dating a guy who is a gold digger and making her pay for everything.

Here is the story:

“Is my sister’s boyfriend a gold digger?

Just for context, I come from quite a wealthy family meanwhile my sister’s boyfriend does not but they are definitely not poor.

My reasons for thinking he is a gold digger or the male equivalent:

When he comes over and they order food my sister is the one who pays I know this because they usually order through my account as I use my points to offset some of the balance, and still after the countless times of ordering for them I have never been paid back.

When we go out as a family and she brings him along he doesn’t bring anything and he doesn’t bother to try to pick the cheaper things in the menu, and its not like the restaurants we go to are exactly cheap.

When he comes over he is overly clingy and is quite distant from my parents, doesn’t bother to make conversation, just eats, responds to our questions and leaves.

However, around my sister’s friends, he becomes super active offers to buy them drinks and whatnot, and it’s not like he is unfamiliar with my parents as he comes over very often(3 times a week on average).

And my family usually calls my eldest sister (I have two sisters) every Saturday as she is currently studying overseas and while we were calling her my sis and her bf were busy showing each other tiktoks and laughing away.

My sister is a shopaholic so she goes to Mbs quite often and when she comes home I usually ask what she bought, and there will always be some branded item she bought for him.

I had previously attributed that to my sister being a spendthrift and while there was that I felt he was also manipulating her in a way.

For example, I tagged along on one of her shopping trips and he commented “What a nice wallet, its a shame I don’t have the money.” Followed by a deep sigh.

My sister looked at the wallet, told us to wait there, walked around some other nearby shops, then bought the wallet for him and the wallet was not cheap at all.

Usually that would be a normal comment to make, but she and him have been together for quite a while so he definitely knows her habits.

Lastly, we have a personal driver, but lately it has become my sisters bfs driver many times I have wanted to go somewhere but my driver is out driver him around or helping him buy something.

Like hello? I really want to tell my sister to break up with him but at the same time she is a very good sister and I don’t want to hurt her feelings since I am younger than her I also feel as though I do not have adequate experience to tell her but at this point I am honestly at my wits end on what to do about this whole situation.

My parents and grandparents dont like him but stay quiet as they are all generally quite softspoken.

Note: My sister and her bf are both currently university students so none of the money they are spending is their own, which makes his behaviour even more frightening”

Editor’s note: Call him out in front of everyone, embarrass him.
