46 Y.O MAN ALLEGEDLY CAUGHT TAKING UPSKIRT VIDEO @ BALESTIER, CHASED BY THE PUBLIC

A man was observed pursuing another individual on foot in the Balestier area on Sunday, June 11. The incident eventually led to the involvement of the police and the subsequent arrest of the pursued individual.

The chase was initiated due to allegations that the chased individual had engaged in the unauthorized capturing of upskirt images.

Interestingly, the person doing the chasing also recorded the entire sequence of events.

While running in the car park, he mentioned off-camera, “So, this person is suspected of taking upskirt videos.”

The pursuit concluded when the suspect was apprehended in the covered car park of Balestier Plaza.

A compilation video of the incident, merging footage from at least two different cameras, was later uploaded on TikTok on June 12.

The video displayed a member of the public dressed in black chasing after a bespectacled individual wearing a face mask and a striped grey t-shirt.

Resolution of the chase: As indicated by the video’s caption, the individual in the grey t-shirt eventually ceased running as he seemed fatigued and low on stamina after a few minutes of pursuit.

He was only wearing one slipper and appeared agitated and tearful by the time the person filming caught up with him.

The individual off-camera, dressed in black, inquired, “Why were you running?” to the chased individual.

The person doing the chasing was seen holding the suspect’s phone while questioning him about his actions.

The individual in the grey t-shirt offered an apology.

At one point, he mentioned, “I was just taking some shots (with my camera).”

A text-to-voice caption in the video stated that a food delivery personnel present at the scene assisted in alerting the police.

Displaying signs of fear, the suspect was then instructed to sit on the ground after being apprehended by the member of the public.

The suspect expressed, “I really can’t go to jail.”

He was subsequently questioned about whether stress motivated his actions and whether he had captured images of other victims on his phone.

The suspect admitted to having taken images of multiple victims in various locations, citing his lack of a girlfriend and an inability to alleviate stress as reasons for his actions. He acknowledged the wrongdoing of his behavior.

After the suspect remarked, “You know, it’s a guy thing,” the person who captured him retorted, “There’s the internet.”

Before the video concluded, two police officers arrived at the scene.

The police confirmed the incident and said that they were alerted to a voyeurism case along 352 Balestier Road at approximately 6:30 pm.

A 46-year-old man was subsequently arrested for voyeurism.

Ongoing investigations are being conducted by the police.

M’SIAN POLICE ASKING INTERPOL FOR HELP TO TRACK DOWN JOCELYN CHIA

0

According to a recent report by Bernama on June 13, Malaysian authorities are planning to seek assistance from Interpol to obtain comprehensive information about Jocelyn Chia’s full identity and current whereabouts.

Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani, as quoted by Bernama, mentioned that an official application would be submitted to Interpol with the intention of acquiring the complete details of Chia, including her identity and present location.

The specific reasons behind the Malaysian police’s decision to take this course of action, as well as their objectives in obtaining this information, have not been disclosed in the local media reports.

As per the New York Times, Chia recently performed in New York City during the week of June 5 and has upcoming comedy gigs scheduled.

Made fun of tragedy

Chia, aged 43 and originally from Boston, USA, held dual citizenship of the United States and Singapore until she reached adulthood, as reported by the New York Times. Transitioning from her previous career as a lawyer, she ventured into stand-up comedy. However, Chia became involved in an international controversy after a clip from one of her shows was shared by Comedy Cellar USA.

During her performance, Chia made a reference to the unresolved MH370 flight incident and used offensive language towards an audience member who claimed to be Malaysian. Clips of this particular show were also uploaded to Chia’s social media platforms.

This incident sparked significant backlash within Malaysia, with Malaysians expressing their strong disapproval of Chia’s actions, as well as criticizing both Singapore and the United States through online channels.

In response to the controversy, Singapore’s High Commissioner to Malaysia, Vanu Gopala Menon, issued an official statement apologizing to all Malaysians on behalf of Chia’s remarks. Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Vivian Balakrishnan, also extended his apologies to the Malaysian public, emphasizing that Chia’s views did not represent the sentiments of Singaporeans and highlighting the importance of the relationship between the two countries.

The incident prompted members of the Umno youth group to organize a protest outside the United States Embassy in Malaysia.

Despite the widespread backlash, Chia appeared largely unaffected by the criticism. In an interview with CNN, she defended the clip, asserting that it was part of a longer routine, and she stood by the joke in its entirety without offering an apology. However, she acknowledged that viewing the clip outside the context of the comedy club could be perceived as “risky” upon reflection.

WOMAN PRONOUNCED DEAD, CAME BACK TO LIFE & WOKE UP AT HER OWN FUNERAL IN COFFIN

0

Typically, the pronouncement of death by a physician marks the definitive end of a person’s life. However, one Ecuadorian woman defied expectations when she regained consciousness inside her coffin during her own wake, according to the Associated Press.

The incident occurred after doctors declared 76-year-old retired nurse Bella Montoya deceased at a hospital in Ecuador. Montoya had been admitted the previous Friday due to a suspected stroke and cardiopulmonary arrest, according to CBS News.

According to her son, Gilberto Barbera, she was unconscious upon arrival at the emergency room and did not respond to resuscitation attempts. Consequently, the doctors conveyed her identification documents and a death certificate to Mr. Barbera.

Subsequently, Montoya’s family and around 20 relatives assembled at a funeral home to pay their final respects. However, approximately five hours into the wake, peculiar noises emanated from the coffin, sending shockwaves through the gathering. Mr. Barbera described the incident as deeply unsettling.

Wrapped in sheets, Montoya had been vigorously striking the walls of the coffin with her hands, leaving her family astounded. Upon closer examination, they discovered that she was breathing heavily, prompting an immediate call for an ambulance to transport her back to the hospital. Montoya was subsequently intubated and is currently receiving care in the intensive care unit of Babahoyo’s Martín Icaza Hospital.

The Ecuadorian Health Ministry has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding this extraordinary event, including the conduct of the doctors who prematurely pronounced Montoya deceased. They are also overseeing her ongoing treatment and conducting a review of the hospital’s procedures for issuing death certificates. The ministry issued a statement on Sunday, acknowledging the formation of a technical committee to address these concerns.

According to Mr. Barbera’s interview with Ecuador’s El Universo newspaper, as reported by CBS News, Montoya remains on oxygen but her condition is steadily improving. He expressed his desire for his mother’s health to continue progressing, emphasizing his hope to have her alive and by his side.

AIRCON TECHNICAN STOLE $1.2K FROM ELDERLY COUPLE’S HOME AFTER SERVICING AIRCON

0

In today’s world, it’s disheartening to learn that not everyone can be trusted, even those we invite into our homes or offices. Such was the case for an elderly couple in Singapore who recently experienced a theft committed by an aircon technician.

The unsuspecting couple hired a technician to service their air conditioning unit, expecting a routine visit. Little did they know that their trust would be violated. After the technician’s departure, the couple made a shocking discovery: S$1,200 was missing from their drawer.

The couple’s plight gained attention when it was shared on TikTok by a user named @airconscammer. Initially, the aircon company denied the theft allegations, creating further distress for the couple. However, their hope for justice was rekindled after they filed a police report.

The turning point in the investigation occurred when the technician admitted to stealing the money. His confession vindicated the elderly couple’s suspicions, validating their decision to involve the authorities. Despite this admission, the investigation is still underway to gather all the necessary evidence.

The victim’s daughter, who goes by the username @airconscammer on TikTok, shared her parents’ ordeal in an emotional video. The video revealed that the couple had received a bouquet made of banknotes worth S$3,000. They decided to store the cash in a drawer below the aircon unit.

Following the technician’s visit, the victim’s mother planned to deposit the cash into the bank. To her utter shock, she realized that S$1,200 worth of banknotes had vanished from the drawer. Even the three torn ones from the dismantling process were nowhere to be found. This discovery left the family feeling violated and betrayed.

The victim’s daughter took it upon herself to contact the boss of the aircon company, hoping for a resolution. Unfortunately, the boss denied all the theft allegations and showed no intention of investigating the matter further. Moreover, he assured the family that they would be refunded for the remaining servicing sessions but failed to fulfill his promise.

Determined to reclaim their stolen money, the family decided to file a police report. They also turned to online platforms, seeking advice and support from fellow users who might have faced similar situations. The outpouring of support and guidance gave them a glimmer of hope in their pursuit of justice.

In a positive update, the victim’s daughter shared that the technician eventually confessed to stealing “a sum of money” during police questioning. However, the exact amount he stole is yet to be confirmed.

MAN FOUND OUT SOME INSURANCE AGENTS ARE PAID OVER 7-FIGURE A YEAR

0

nsurance agent pay?

Honestly….. how much are you insurance agents paid?!

My agent is my long time friend. He is extremely talented in this line, won many different kinds of awards. Definitely over qualified for this job. I myself also works in finance, but typical employee.

He called me out recently for a lunch and introduced me to someone hiring for a family office, a gig I have been trying to get for a while. After a lunch session, I got it. The pay is also….. extremely generous.

Thats when I found out that my agent was headhunted first. He rejected the offer and thus introduced me for the job.

When I asked him why he rejected, his reason was the low pay. SMLJ?? Just how much is he getting paid as an agent? He refused to answer and just ask me support him once I get the job with pay increment. Which I will la, but damn.

Here are what netizens think:

  • The skys the limit la. Their pay is uncapped earnings.. you work hard and/or lucky etc.. you can earn as much as you can sell. Office job is fixed salary so theres a stark difference la. If you are not comfortable doing sales then stick to being an employee.
  • Your friend’s personality and character maybe suited for that job. He even happily pass his LoBang to you. Did you receive this job LoBang with gratitude or immediately that jealousy and competitiveness rises… My friend is doing much better than me. Unless you sort these out within yourself, you will not fit into roles which entails a better person. Even if you get role bigger than you can handle and pays well… Can you handle it? How long can it possibly last?
  • Sky’s the limit. I was agent before. One UL can net me 6 digit comms. At the point I was transitioning from being a FC to running my own business, I basically closed 2 ULs a year then focus on growing my own business. That 2 ULs can easily get close to 7 figures not including those chapalang shield and PA which gives comm almost perpetually. My shield and PA comms were literally giving me the average grad income already.
  • If your skill sets don’t match the pay you’re wanting to get, then it’s time to polish to get to where you want. At the meantime, take the family office job offer while you hone your skills at the same time.

“YOUR BOSS IS NOT YOUR FRIEND” MAN LEARNS IT THE HARD WAY

0

My boss is not my friend

Feel demotivated lately. Even with an excellent bonus and a just ok performance review.

I forgot that my boss thrives on being cultivated with public praise even when he does not remove obstacles in my path (or even adds to my them). I am disappointed that basic stuff that my boss is supposed to do has been “forgotten” and I have to scramble and chase people so it can happen

The most benign reason is that he is probably too swamped to do so. Or he thinks there is no penalty if he doesn’t do it (for who would complain, and I’m more junior than he is). Or that he is taking advantage of people (because sometimes he almost proudly tells me how he takes advantage of people). And maybe I am too naive because I need to play politics better.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Am i reading the post wrong? You say you have to work harder than your boss and is unhappy… but yet your performance review is okay but your bonus is very good? You flexing issit? That you are a good worker with deep pockets haha. Definitely not a team player for sure. Wah lao.. thats why he is a boss and you are the staff..what you describe is a norm leh. We are hired to support leh otherwise need staff for what? We slave then they take credit.. one day you will move up and also do the same haha.
  • Manager is not hired to do your job, he is hired to coach/train the team and to make strategic plan to steer the team to success.
  • Excellent bonus always trumps ‘just ok performance review’. Your boss sux but pay is good? Easy la! Your ‘problem isn’t even a problem’ Remove the boss which should not be hard or move to another company for 25% increase in pay!!
  • Workplace politics.. u have to be smart la. If not, will be taken for a ride 4 sure.

GUY DATES WOMAN IN HER 40s, NOT HAPPY SHE DRESS “VERY LITTLE”

0

Date dresses inappropriately.

Casually seeing this older lady online. Each time she dresses very little. Initially it don’t bother me. She often complain that sg weather is hot so she prefers to not be “covered in rugs”.

Sometimes I noticed people will look at her, maybe because of how little she wore. Sometimes I am also distracted as it was to the point of vulgar. .She’s not that bad as a person to talk to but I wouldn’t say that she’s pretty. I can tell she loves to dress up and spends a lot of money on grooming. She’s not in a good shape as she doesn’t exercise or seem to take care of her health and is in her 40s. I’m in the personal grooming business so I noticed these things.

Chemistry wise I think we are ok? We don’t reply quickly to each other and she seems fine with it. She’s a foodie like me so we talk about food often. She doesn’t seem to mind that I’ve not mentioned her to my friends and family. We never really established our relationship anyway.

I find myself more willing to talk to her online than meeting her in person. I like her wit and humor. But the moment we meet, it just doesn’t feel the same. I don’t know how to describe it. She dresses in a way that you wouldn’t want to be seen with her by friends?

I know it’s not my business what she wears. But would it be rude of me to ask her to cover up herself a bit more when we meet? How do I put it diplomatically? I would like to respect her more, but I find that I can’t help but judge her for her dressing. She wears shorts so short that it exposed her butt cheeks and cellulite. She doesn’t care that her bra straps or bra is showing out on her low cut tops. I suspect mentality wise, she’s still stuck in her 20s. Not noticing that it was 20 years ago.

WOMAN MARRIES BF BUT SISTER-IN-LAW EXTREMELY TOXIC, CALLS HER ‘DEAF’

0

Toxic sister in law

Just seeking a place to rant it out. I am a semi deaf woman in my 30s ( deaf in one ear). I am an infant care assistant teacher working in a childcare centre.

I just got married last year and currently staying with my in laws as husband and I are trying to ballot for a HDB flat. We have failed to get the ballot twice.

Tonight I heard my sis in law mentioned about me to my husband after dinner. She told my husband: ” are you sure your wife is working as a teacher? She’s deaf you know? How can a deaf person teach? I don’t believe she’s working as a teacher, most possibly a cleaner at the centre. Cleaners are smelly and disgusting, that suits her better as she’s deaf. I think you married the wrong woman.”

I heard her, calmly I walked out of the bedroom and i told her this: You are a uni graduate from Australia, yet you don’t have the basic manners or humanity. Your parents ( my in laws) wasted their money grooming you. I hope that when you are old, you won’t need a job as a cleaner”.

My husband told her: ” please land yourself a job first before commenting on others. Who I marry is none of your concern as well”

My sil is currently not working and slacking at home.

Just a thought that I want to share. Just because one is a university graduate doesn’t mean he/she can make fun of people whom are handicapped, whom are not well off or working at simple jobs such as food delivery or cleaners.

SAD GIRL WEARS HER EX-BF’S SWEATER TO FEEL HIS HUG, “CAN’T TURN BACK TIME”

0

It’s been half a year since we broke up, but I can’t really find closure. At times, I thought I have moved on, I was happy to finally get you off my chest.

But then one day, I found your sweater in my closet (which I purposely did not return to you), and I turned my aircon temperature down just so I could put it on. It felt like you were holding me again, and all of a sudden, I was back to last December again. I know all the reasons for the break. I know feelings are no longer mutual, and that you no longer feel what I feel. Despite all that, I can’t move on.

If only I could turn back time to when we first met, when things were still new and fresh, and you still believed in me, I would change the way I carried myself. I wouldn’t get angry at you so often, and I would always remind you how much I value you.

But I know these are things ppl say when they no longer can do anything and regret the times they could still do something, and I’ve only realized now that whatever I was worrying about didn’t matter. You were what mattered most to me.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Well realistically this is prob one of the many breakups you will experienced in your life before you find the one. Half a year of mourning is enough. Pls learn from past mistakes and move on. Life is a journey of experiences, self discovery and learning. No point dwelling on past mistakes, putting your head down and missing the best scenery ahead. 
  • Take time to grief for the loss. Learn something from the past. Live your present mindfully, be a better person than you were yesterday. Have faith that you will be a better partner in the future.
  • i hope you will be happy.
