HK ACTRESS AMY YIP OPEN TO ONSCREEN COMEBACK, BUT REFUSE TO BARE HER SKIN ANYMORE

0

Amy Yip, a notable Category III screen goddess from the ’80s, achieved fame as one of the era’s biggest icons. However, her presence in showbiz waned in the mid-’90s, leading to a prolonged low-profile life. Recently, the actress has made a public appearance, sparking interest in her potential return to the entertainment industry.

Recent Appearance

On Wednesday, December 13, Amy Yip attended a wine tasting event, sharing the spotlight with other ’80s celebrities, including actor Chin Siu Ho. During the event, Hong Kong media seized the opportunity to inquire about Amy’s interest in returning to acting after years of relative seclusion.

Acting Offers and Conditions

In response to queries about a potential comeback, Amy Yip revealed that she has been approached with numerous acting offers. However, she emphasized that she hasn’t found a script or role that aligns with her preferences. Amy expressed openness to the idea of a comeback but asserted that the conditions must be met.

“I’m not against making a comeback, but I will only act if I find a suitable script. I’ve rejected those that want me to play sensual and seductive roles again. I won’t do something that I don’t like,” stated Amy.

Creative Expression

For Amy, the decision to return to acting hinges on the script’s uniqueness and the potential for creative expression. She stressed the need for a departure from her previous sultry image, highlighting the importance of a role that allows her room for personal and creative growth.

“It has to be different from what I used to do in the past; there needs to be room for me to express myself creatively, and the plot is very important,” she explained.

Diversifying Talents

Amy Yip is not limiting herself to acting alone. Recent online praise for her singing at a party prompted her to express interest in exploring diverse opportunities. She envisions a career that includes singing, appearances in advertisements, and even roles in TV dramas.

“I think it would be nice to sing too. I feel like I don’t have to stick to acting in movies. Sometimes I’ll sing, other times, I’ll appear in advertisements and also TV dramas. I actually enjoy doing them all,” shared Amy.

Responding to Body Image Comments

Addressing recent viral photos that triggered comments about her being “too skinny,” Amy Yip displayed a resilient attitude. Familiar with the ebb and flow of public opinions, she remarked, “People are strange. [The comments] are contradictory, so I don’t bother about what others say. I’m happy being myself.”

WOMAN DIED AFTER EATING EXPIRED SANDWICH THAT WAS SERVED TO HER AT AN R&R

0

Food hygiene is a matter of utmost importance, with even minor oversights carrying the potential to cause harm. Recent events in Malaysia highlight the severity of such lapses, as an allegedly expired sandwich claimed the life of an innocent consumer. This tragic incident underscores the critical need for food operators to prioritize and maintain stringent food safety standards.

Viral Facebook Post

In a viral Facebook post, a Malaysian woman shared the heartbreaking story of her aunt’s demise after consuming sandwiches purchased from an R&R in Terengganu. The sandwiches, believed to be expired, not only affected her aunt but also caused harm to her nephew.

Consequences of the Consumed Sandwich

The consequences of consuming the allegedly expired sandwich were severe. The woman described how her aunt experienced multiple episodes of vomiting and diarrhea, indicative of a severe case of food poisoning. The distressing effects prompted immediate action to seek medical assistance.

The situation escalated rapidly, leading to the aunt’s hospitalization and placement in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Despite the efforts of medical professionals, the unfortunate outcome occurred, and the woman’s aunt passed away on December 18. The gravity of the incident prompted the hospital to report the matter to the Ministry of Health.

Report to the Ministry of Health

As of December 23, there had been no response from the Ministry of Health regarding the reported incident. The lack of official acknowledgment raises concerns about the responsiveness of regulatory bodies in addressing such critical matters related to public health and safety.

The woman’s viral post serves not only as a tribute to her late aunt but also as a fervent call for awareness about food hygiene. She emphasizes the need for food operators to be responsible and vigilant in ensuring the quality and safety of the products they offer to consumers.

In a poignant plea, the woman calls on food operators to serve only edible food and refrains from selling leftovers. This tragic incident stands as a stark reminder of the potential consequences when hygiene standards are compromised in the food industry.

SON CALLS MOTHER ‘KAREN’ AFTER SHE DEMANDS TO GET REFUND FOR TIPS

0

So my mom and I went out for dinner at a restaurant and became Karen. She paid for both of our food. When she went to pay, she accidentally tipped 20% on the card machine ($5.62 tip).

The two guys working were younger and weren’t sure how to cancel the payment. My mom told them it was a mistake and requested the money back. When the employees said they didn’t know how to cancel the payment after it had gone through, she got visibly irritated. She never insulted or raised her voice but was condescending to the workers.

Ultimately they called a manager who wasn’t there and the manager told them to reimburse her out of the tip jar.

After we sat down with our food I told her that it was humiliating that she was so adamant about getting the money back since it was such a small amount and was a tip to the employees to who she was talking down to. She then got mad at me saying that I get mad at her for everything she does.

I never actually called her a “Karen” to her face. It was just the best way I could describe it.

2) Money isn’t tight at all in our house. My parents have shared finances.

Am I wong for telling my mom she humiliated herself and me after demanding the tip back?

Here are what netizens think:

  • since the tip was her mistake. If it hadn’t been her error I could have gotten behind her on this, but it was on her so, imo, she just needed to live with it and take it as a reminder to be more careful next time.
  • I think it is great that you told her. Growing up, I never would have said that to my father because I “respect your elders.” Well, now we know that respect goes both ways, no matter the age.
  • I frequently enraged my family by telling them respect was earned not automatically given when I was in my teens and twenties (1970s-1980s). I would have definitely called a family member out on behavior like this. 

35 Y.O MAN DRUNK UNTIL HE FORGOT HE GOT STABBED IN THE FACE, REALIZES 5 MONTHS LATER

0

In a bizarre and shocking incident in Vietnam, a 35-year-old man recently discovered that he had been living with chopsticks lodged in his skull for a staggering five months. The revelation came when he sought medical help at Cuba Friendship Hospital in Dong Hoi due to persistent intense headaches, and fluid discharge, according to a report by Fox News.

Hospital Visit and Diagnosis

On November 25th, the man’s visit to the hospital led to CT scans that indicated a life-threatening condition known as tension pneumocephalus, characterized by an alarming increase in intracranial pressure inside the skull. What unfolded next left both the medical staff and the patient astonished.

Upon further examination, doctors made a surprising discovery – a pair of chopsticks had penetrated the man’s nose and reached straight into his brain. What made this revelation even more astounding was the fact that the man himself had no recollection of any situation involving chopsticks entering his nose.

Drunken Brawl and Memory Recall

As the man grappled with this shocking revelation, fragments of memory started to surface. Vaguely recalling a drunken brawl he had been involved in five months prior, he remembered being stabbed in the face. However, the specifics of the object used during the altercation remained elusive.

In a twist of events, the man had visited the hospital the day after the brawl, seeking medical attention. However, during the initial examination, doctors found no evidence of chopsticks and deemed his nose to be unharmed.

Endoscopic Surgery

With the source of his condition identified, doctors proceeded with endoscopic surgery to remove the lodged chopsticks. Surprisingly, the discovered object turned out to be a singular chopstick broken in half, adding a layer of peculiarity to the already astonishing situation.

Fortunately, the surgical intervention was successful, and the man is now in stable condition, awaiting discharge from the hospital. The removal of the chopsticks marked the end of a five-month period during which he unknowingly lived with a foreign object lodged in his skull.

GF’S FIANCE PASS AWAY AND TOLD NEW BF HE IS A REPLACEMENT

0

Will you date a girl that’s not over her ex?

I am dating a girl and everything is amazing. We decided to go exclusive abt 2 months ago. One day she sat me down and explained that she wanted to be 100% honest before we carry on. She’s not over her ex but promises her ex will never come between us.

I probed la, cos I dont want to deal with some crazy ex. Turns out her ex passed away right before they were about to get married and she explained that he was perfect. She has dated after but none of the other guys came close. She firmly believes that no one will ever replace her ex and that her ex was “the one”. She is willing to build this relationship with me, but she wanted me to know how she really feels.

I am the “comfortable” choice. I’m at a loss now. I feel like the consolation price… but it’s true that the ex will never be an issue.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Will my life lessons taught to see everything in different perspectives . You sound to be shaken by her narrative so you really have to decide for yourself.
  • It’s painful to lost a loved one, it’s good if you can be compassionate and feel the pain with her. It’s actually an honour that she decided to share with you about her past.Everybody has their memories, she is willing to bury her past and start afresh with you. You are that special person that gave her the confidence to start afresh.Please don’t ruin this beautiful new chapter.
  • Whether or not she is able to heal, none of us will know. Obviously she don’t want to live in the past and looking forward to heal and continue with her life in a meaningful way which is why she is looking around for someone else.Ask yrself if u are willing to help her heal even if nothing comes out of the relationship. If u love her and want the best for her, u should not give up and help her even if eventually she is just a friend to u.If you treasure your time and will not want to risk yr time and effort, probably she is not the one for u. Let her go.
  • A female bestie taught me: A girl’s promise is only as trustworthy as her current emotions. She alr admitted that her ex that passed will be the best she had, so technically u are just the best out of the current choices she have. And that might change in the future lol.She promises u that her ex will not come between the rs but didnt say if another better guy along the way comes, won’t.What i can tell u is, walk away. Women with emotional baggage/scars from past rs requiries serious care and concern ….. which is fine if u have the time and money ( to not work and cater to her needs)AND the part most ppl dont talk about is if they ever managed to heal, they may realise that their new healed self deserves someone better and ur rs will end.Ive seen so many of my guy friends who fall into the stereotype of “nice guys”, trying to heal their exes who were broken, but in the end they were so exhausted and left with nothing but heartbreaks. 
  • You’re half right.Her ex may never be an issue because he’s dead; ORHer ex may be an issue forever (that can never be resolved because he’s dead).50/50… she’s got emotional baggage .Up to you whether you like traveling light or with a full 30kg of check-in luggage

Increase in Adult Card Fares

The backbone of public transportation, adult card fares, is witnessing a moderate increase. This adjustment is a response to the economic dynamics that have unfolded in recent times. Understanding the reasons behind this increase is crucial for commuters.

Surge in Cash Fares

In a digital age, the acceptance of cash for bus rides still persists, albeit with a steeper price. Cash fares are slated to go up by a notable 20 cents. We delve into the implications of this decision and its impact on commuters who prefer or rely on cash transactions.

Concession Card Fares

The news isn’t all grim, especially for vulnerable commuters. Concession card fares experience a more modest increase, ranging from 4 to 5 cents per journey. This move is aimed at providing support to those who need it most.

Factors Driving Fare Adjustment

Why are these fare adjustments happening? We explore the driving forces behind the decision, from the surge in energy prices to the impact of core inflation and the unexpected growth in wages.

Support for Concessionary Groups

Amidst the fare adjustments, there’s a silver lining for heavy users of public transport belonging to concessionary groups. Hybrid monthly concession passes, covering both bus and train rides, are reduced by up to 10%. Additionally, a new monthly concession pass is on the horizon for Workfare Transport Concession Scheme Cardholders, offering assistance to lower-wage workers.

Introduction of Monthly Concession Pass for Workfare Transport Concession Scheme Cardholders

The implementation of a monthly concession pass for Workfare Transport Concession Scheme Cardholders is a progressive step. We unpack the details of this initiative and its potential impact on the targeted demographic.

Implementation Date

Mark your calendars – the fare adjustments come into effect starting December 23, 2023. Understanding the timeline is crucial for commuters to plan and adapt to the changes.

CEO ACTS COOL TO GIRL, PRESS HAND AGAINST WALL “I DON’T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER”

0

HELPPPP what do you do with guys who try so hard to act cool in front of girls? On Friday my mentor said he will treat me to lunch to celebrate my first week at the job; I agreed to the lunch but politely declined the treat, then suddenly he pulled off a Korean CEO move by cornering me into a wall and resting one hand on the wall, saying “I don’t take no for an answer. It’s settled.”

Unfortunately, his outstretched arm featured a ginormous ARMPIT STAIN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Not only that, on my first day when I passed a comment worrying about whether I will pass probation, he knocked his index finger against my forehand and was like, “Silly girl. You have me.”

He obviously didn’t watch properly how they do it in kdramas, because instead of a light tap he Mike Tyson-ed it and my head literally snapped back and I muffled an “OOF”. Laoniang had a blue-black for two days okay.

In case you were wondering, yes he wears his jacket with the collar turned up. Oh my god.

Here are what netizens think:

Hahaha! That blue black super turned off!!!Seriously, the act cool is more to haolian.If u prefer humble guys, that’s obviously not your cup~~

HAHAHAHAH main point is, how handsome he is.

Watch too much Tele liao then want act like Korean actors.

Important qns is does he look like a korean oppa or korean opps? No picture hard to comment

2 MEN & 3 COMPANIES CHARGED FOR ILLEGAL EXPORT OF GASOIL TO NORTH KOREA

0

On 21 December 2023, Kwek Kee Seng (“Kwek”), his accomplice Low Eng Yeow Justin (“Low”), and three companies related to them were charged in court for their alleged involvement in the shipment of gasoil, a prohibited export item, to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (“DPRK”), in contravention of the United Nations (Sanctions – DPRK) Regulations 2010.

Charges relating to supply of prohibited export item to the DPRK, related financial transactions and falsification of documents.

Investigations by the Commercial Affairs Department revealed that Kwek had allegedly conspired with five other individuals based overseas to supply gasoil to the DPRK from September to November 2019 using the vessel MT Courageous, an oil tanker, via ship-to-ship transfers on six occasions and at the Nampo Port, DPRK on the last occasion. The gasoil supplied amounted to approximately 12,260 metric tons. Arising from this, Kwek was charged with seven counts under Regulation 5(a) read with Regulation 16(1) of the United Nations (Sanctions – DPRK) Regulations 2010.

Kwek also allegedly used the bank account of a company he had control of to receive and make payments in relation to the abovementioned offences. He transferred funds on four occasions for the purchase of gasoil which were eventually supplied to the DPRK. Kwek, who was the majority shareholder and director of the company, also allegedly falsified documents belonging to the company on two occasions. Arising from this, the company was charged for four counts under Regulation 12(1)(b) read with Regulation 16(1) of the United Nations (Sanctions – DPRK) Regulations 2010, while Kwek was charged with two counts under Section 477A of the Penal Code.

In addition, Kwek also allegedly used another company on five occasions to receive payment for the prohibited supply of gasoil to the DPRK, in contravention of the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act (Cap 65A, 2000 Rev Ed) (“CDSA”). Arising from this, this other company was charged with five counts under Section 47(3) of the CDSA, while Kwek was charged with five counts under Section 47(3) read with Section 59 of the CDSA. 

Low allegedly conducted nine financial transactions through the bank account of a company he has control of, for the purchase of gasoil, which facilitated the prohibited supply of the same to the DPRK. Arising from this, Low and his company were each charged with nine counts under Regulation 12(1)(b) read with Regulation 16(1) of the United Nations (Sanctions – DPRK) Regulations 2010.

Charges relating to obstruction of justice and failure to report

Kwek also faces two charges in connection with obstructing the course of justice. He allegedly lied to the investigation officer and disposed of a phone which contained evidence pertaining to his involvement in the prohibited supply of gasoil to the DPRK. He also allegedly failed to inform the Police about the prohibited supply of gasoil to the DPRK by another vessel, MT Viet Tin 01, in February 2019. Arising from this, Kwek was charged with two counts under Section 204A(b) of the Penal Code and one count under Regulation 14(1)(c) read with Regulation 16(1) of the United Nations (Sanctions – DPRK) Regulations 2010

If convicted, an individual faces:

  1. For each charge under the United Nations Act, an imprisonment term of up to 10 years, a fine or both
  2. For each charge under Section 204A of the Penal Code, an imprisonment term of up to seven years, a fine or both;
  3. For each charge under Section 477A of the Penal Code, an imprisonment term of up to 10 years, a fine or both
  4. For each charge under Section 47(3) of the CDSA, an imprisonment term of up to 10 years, a fine or both.

In the case of a corporate entity, offenders can be given a fine not exceeding $1 million if convicted for each charge under the United Nations Act and Section 47(3) of the CDSA.

The United Nations (Sanctions – DPRK) Regulations 2010 of the United Nations Act give effect to sanctions imposed by the United Nations Security Council on DPRK to curb the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Singapore takes its obligations under the United Nations Security Council Resolutions seriously and implements them fully and faithfully. We will not hesitate to take action against any individual or entity that breaches our laws and regulations.
