DELIVERY RIDER DIED FROM EXHAUSTION, COLLAPSED AFTER DELIVERING PARCEL TO CUSTOMER

A delivery rider in Indonesia was so badly overworked that he ended up dying from exhaustion after delivering a parcel to a customer’s home in Jakarta.

Twitter user @arifnovianto_id shared about the tragic incident, tweeting that the rider had died while in the midst of delivering a parcel.

The friends of the deceased said that he had died from exhaustion after working long hours under the scorching sun.

Arif tweeted that the harsh working conditions and lack of protection made them vulnerable and exposed to danger.

A photo of the rider was also posted, showing him collapsed in a heap on the ground in front of the customer’s home, next to his parked motorcycle.

Netizens sympathised with the deceased’s plight, appealing to the public to be more considerate of riders and offer them food and drinks if possible.

“Thank the delivery riders for working hard for us by offering them a drink and encouraging them.”

“If you have money to spare, give them a tip to make things easier for them, they are all working really hard just to make a living.”

A restaurant owner also commented that most of the riders that he meets are friendly, and they always offer them food whenever they’re at his restaurant.

Another netizen said, “for those people who complain about their packages not arriving, please look at this post and have a heart, make their job easier by writing your address clearly if your house is difficult to find.”

ACTOR BRUCE WILLIS DIAGNOSED WITH DEMENTIA, NO CURE OR TREATMENT FOR IT

Actor Bruce Willis has been confirmed to be suffering from dementia, as his family said in a statement confirming his diagnosis.

The 67-year-old actor was previously diagnosed with aphasia back in March last year, and he had to give up on acting.

Aphasia is a disorder stemming from damage in a specific area of the brain that controls language and comprehension abilities.

His family added that his condition has deteriorated since his diagnosis last year, and shared that there are no available treatments for the disease.

Statement from the Willis family

A Statement from the Willis Family

February 16, 2023

As a family, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for the outpouring of love and compassion for Bruce over the past ten months. Your generosity of spirit has been overwhelming, and we are tremendously grateful for it. For your kindness, and because we know you love Bruce as much as we do, we wanted to give you an update.

Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.

FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone. For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know. Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead. As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research.

Bruce always believed in using his voice in the world to help others, and to raise awareness about important issues both publicly and privately. We know in our hearts that – if he could today — he would want to respond by bringing global attention and a connectedness with those who are also dealing with this debilitating disease and how it impacts so many individuals and their families.

Ours is just one family with a loved one who suffers from FTD, and we encourage others facing it to seek out the wealth of information and support available through AFTD (@theaftd, theaftd.org). And for those of you who have been fortunate enough to not have any personal experience with FTD, we hope that you will take the time to learn about it, and support AFTD’s mission in whatever way you can.

Bruce has always found joy in life – and has helped everyone he knows to do the same. It has meant the world to see that sense of care echoed back to him and to all of us. We have been so moved by the love you have all shared for our dear husband, father, and friend during this difficult time. Your continued compassion, understanding, and respect will enable us to help Bruce live as full a life as possible.

GRAB DRIVER SCOLDED BY PAX FOR WAITING @ MAIN ROAD INSTEAD OF ENTRANCE

GRAB DRIVER SCOLDED BY PAX FOR WAITING @ MAIN ROAD INSTEAD OF ENTRANCE

A Grab driver in Singapore shared an unsavoury episode that he experienced with a passenger, where he was scolded by the passenger.

He said that he was picking up a passenger when the security told him to wait for the passenger by the main road instead of the entrance.

However, when the passenger boarded his car, she started scolding him for waiting by the main road and not at the entrance.

The driver then cancelled the trip and asked the woman to get out of his car.

Here is what he said

First time I ever cancelled someone after they had boarded my car.

Quick summary, it was just like any other trip. Before I reach, I got a message of ‘here’. So after I arrived, I looked around the whole stretch before pressing ‘I have arrived’.

But since you are not around the main entrance so I just turn in and ask the security where to wait. Security told me to wait along the main road so I said sure, and proceeded to u – turn.

I just did my u turn, checking traffic before turning out, I heard loud banging of my rear left car door window.

The lady, in her 40s, opened the door and started to shoot her mouth off. Treating me like a kid who made a lot of mistakes. It was the most degrading moment of my life.

So I suck it up, turn around and press ‘cancel trip’ before turning back around asking to get out of my car as I have cancelled her trip.

And man, everyone should have seen her face, it was in complete shock as apparently she was heading somewhere.

Hence she was cursing and swearing at me as she disembarked from my car saying will complain about me and stuff to grab.

Thanks all for reading my rant. Drive safe my brothers and sisters on the road and happy Valentines day to all!

BUS DRIVER SCOLDS 6 Y.O BOY FOR USING CHILD CONCESSION CARD, SAYS INSIDE NO MONEY

BUS DRIVER SCOLDS 6 Y.O BOY FOR USING CHILD CONCESSION CARD, SAYS INSIDE NO MONEY

Facebook user Fadillah Ramthan shared how her 6-year-old son and their maid were scolded by a rude bus driver for using a child concession card when boarding bus service 969 at Tampines Interchange.

Here is what she said

On 31 Jan 2023 at 2.03 pm, my helper and 6-year-old son boarded bus service number 969 from Tampines Interchange.

My son tapped his child concession card which he has been doing all these while without any issues, when the bus driver (a Chinese lady wearing a ponytail) suddenly began scolding him for using a card with zero value (in her words).

My helper explained that he had just started primary 1. Being just the beginning of the school term, obviously he has not gotten his primary school concession card yet and we all know that the child concession card can be used until 30 April of the year the child turns 7 because of this exact reason.

As it was only January, I don’t understand why was she questioning him as if he was a fare cheat! Even after she knew my son was in Primary 1, she still insisted that he should be paying for his fare.

When my helper further told her that she doesn’t know and that she would check with me, the driver retorted rudely, “what don’t know, don’t know, you better check!”

Adding on to their embarrassment, the bus driver continued her scoldings even as the bus was already leaving the interchange.

Both my son and helper who were clearly helpless had to endure her rude scoldings in front of so many passengers! It was humiliating and uncalled for as they did no wrong!

Brought it up to the bus company (before I even decided to post it here) but they sided with their bus driver as usual.

FATHER FEELS INFERIOR AS HE EARNS LESS THAN HIS SON’S GIRLFRIEND, CALLS HER A “LOSER”

FATHER FEELS INFERIOR AS HE EARNS LESS THAN HIS SON’S GIRLFRIEND, CALLS HER A “LOSER”

How should I resolve this?

Something is giving me a big headache. My gf earn much more than my dad and during cny when my dad met her & found out about it, he secretly called my gf a sore loser.

But deep inside I just know it’s because he feels inferior that a lady can earn so much.

He couldn’t accept the fact that a fresh graduate could earn much more than what he had taken over 20 years to achieve.. How do I make my dad more open minded? Also I do not want my gf to know this mindset that my dad has, it’s really embarrassing.

Please help, need some advice.

Here are what netizens think:

  • He should be proud that his son can find such a talented gf. Not everyone can be so gifted. Tell him that if someone is doing well in life, we should feel happy for them instead of being jealous. That’s a loser mentality.
  • Aging parents… We should try not to take their words into heart. Sometimes, old people gets too emotionally unstable. They may blame us as a thief when they misplaced their items, or unappreciates our cooking…
  • Hope your gf is matured and understanding enough to ignore your dad at the same time respects him, for -bringing you up.
  • Why don’t you laugh and call him the sore loser? And if he doesn’t like it, ask and explain why he shouldn’t think so. After all, your father takes pride in his experience – so reassure him that his experience is still far more valued, it is just unfortunate that time has changed. He is valid to his feelings, but remind him that although your gf earns more, she has a future full of bills to pay for too. And so do you. “Isn’t her paycheck more beneficial for you in the long run, hmm Dad? Rising medical costs are a concern for the pockets you know.” Did he really expect the world to be the same in his generation? Let’s be realistic dad
  • If that is his mindset for the past 50 60 years, I doubt anything can change it

WOMAN CALLS OUT DINER FOR FEEDING DOG WITH RESTAURANT’S SPOON, ASKS STAFF TO THROW SPOON AWAY

TikTok user @abigailng posted a video on 13 February showing a woman using a restaurant’s spoon to feed her dog at Hort Park, according to MustShareNews.

Ng said that she had finished her Valentine’s dinner at the time when she noticed the incident, and added that the restaurant staff apparently didn’t see the incident.

She didn’t manage to record a video of the woman feeding her dog with the restaurant’s spoon, but she did take a video of a table of five diners who had two dogs with them.

She captioned in her video, “how can she do that it’s disgusting oh my god” as she exclaimed how “gross” it was for the woman to be doing that.

Ng also asked the restaurant manager to throw away the spoons that the woman used to feed her dog.

Update: Ng has since taken down her TikTok video.

Against the law

Under the Environmental Public Health (Food Hygiene) Regulations, it is illegal to feed a pet using a restaurant’s utensils.

Animals that are brought into a licensed premise where pets are allowed, are not allowed to feed them using any utensil that are meant to be used for human consumption.

Persons found guilty face a fine of up to $2,000.

Netizens’ comments

  1. Many people cannot act in a decent manner. Not even telling them to be a great person, just act considerably also cannot.
  2. that’s an inconsideate and hopeless trash
  3. wash with detergent will do lah, no need so paranoid
    • (OP) I’m a dog owner too. I know where else dogs lick: their butts and sometime eat their own poop.

TAIWAN SINGER LIU WEN-CHENG NOT DEAD, FAKED HIS OWN DEATH TO AVOID ATTENTION

Earlier on 15 February, news broke about veteran Taiwanese singer Liu Wen-Cheng 刘文正 passing away from a heart attack at the age of 70.

However, it has since been revealed that Liu is still alive and that he had faked his own death in order to avoid attention.

His former manager, Tsia Yu-Shun told media outlets that the singer was still alive and well, and that he was asked to leak the fake news about his death, according to ETtoday on 16 February.

Tsia was the one who leaked the news about Liu’s death a day before, claiming that Liu had died after suffering a heart attack.

Tsia told reporters that Liu had been pestered by someone from mainland China to return to the entertainment industry, offering the singer an incentive of about SGD $38.9 million.

Liu, however, was not interested in returning and asked Tsia to spread the news that he had died, not wanting to be bothered by the requests anymore.

However, Tsia’s statement was not entirely untrue – Liu had indeed suffered a heart attack, but he has since recovered and is well.

The singer’s second aunt also told star.udn.com that her nephew is still alive and well after verifying the news with him through a phone call on 15 February.

It has been about 30 years since Liu retired from the entertainment industry, and he has been elusive and reclusive, not wanting any public attention on himself ever since.

GIRLS SAY SHE GOT ‘STANDARD’ NOT A GOLD DIGGER, NETIZENS SAY “PUI!”

Everything wanna split 50:50. Pregnancy, childbirth, all the household chores & taking care of kids you do 50%?? If not then where’s your 50% contribution?

Want to split everything 50:50? Get a housemate.

No wonder fewer and fewer women want to get married nowadays.

Have to work full time, have to do all the household chores, take care of children, shoulder the burden of pregnancy and childbirth alone, have to take shit from in laws if you’re unlucky…. what do men bring to the table exactly for us to take on all these burdens?

And having any standards at all and wanting to be treated well apparently makes us “gold diggers” and “leeches”. Yucks. No thanks!

Here are what netizens think:

  • Pui chao nua la! What standard you have? Double F cup, Ling Zhi ling body, angela baby face ah.
  • Why? Your ex, partner or the girls you meet don’t wanna split 50-50 with you that’s why you come here and cry ah?
  • Eh, people’s choose to be taitai also your issue? Live and let live man. Paragraphing would be a good way to communicate the points in your message across. Why must need to prove oneself for the family? What happens if the family is the toxic one? Lol
  • I can see a lot of angry women being keyboard warriors for this post and I’m starting to wonder if it is a troll post just to trigger women
  • You said it like you can give birth, skilled in chores, bake cakes and muffins!
  • Looks like u are hurt, u need hansaplast? Dont need to analyse that much. All it takes is for both to discuss it through. If it works great, if it doesnt move on.
  • Y ur love only about money? What about care and concern? Can she also take care of you halfway then go shopping? What about your child? Also she take care 1,3,5 and you take care 2,4,6, Sunday half day each?

JJ LIN MISTOOK FAN’S CARTIER RING AS A GIFT, SHE ONLY WANTED HIM TO TOUCH IT AS A “BLESSING”

JJ LIN MISTOOK FAN’S CARTIER RING AS A GIFT, SHE ONLY WANTED HIM TO TOUCH IT AS A “BLESSING”

Singaporean singer JJ Lin recently held a concert performance in Seattle, Washington, as part of his JJ20 World Tour on 11 February.

Sin Chew Daily reported that one of the fans held up a Cartier ring to Lin as he was singing, and he then took the ring from the fan, thinking that it was a gift for him.

However, the fan had only wanted him to touch it as a form of “blessing”.

The fan took to the Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu to share about the incident, saying that she had bought the ring in Las Vegas a day before Lin’s concert in Seattle.

She believed that the ring was her lucky ring as she managed to get her hands on tickets to Lin’s concert after buying it, and wanted to get Lin to “bless” the ring further by touching it.

Lin mistook the fan’s intentions and mistook the ring as a gift, keeping it for himself and shaking hands with her to thank her.

Although the ring was expensive, the fan didn’t appear to be too upset by the incident and even said that she had a hearty laugh about it.

However, her post rubbed some of Lin’s more ardent and hardcore fans the wrong way, with some calling her out for trying to make Lin look bad.

She also shared that Lin’s team has since reached out to her to return the ring, and it was made clear that Lin would never take advantage of a fan and really treasures the gifts that he gets from them.

The fan added that JJ probably mistook her ring, which she held up to him, for a Valentine’s Day gift because he was too engrossed in his performance.

MAN SAY MOST PEOPLE LACK SELF DISCIPLINE & REMAIN FAT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES

MAN SAY MOST PEOPLE LACK SELF DISCIPLINE & REMAIN FAT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES

Lacking self discipline and need a good push.

I have been dreaming about to get slim fit and a healthy diet but I have a problem to stick to my plan. I also want to quit using handphone to cure my stiff neck and shoulders but I always end up using the phone. I have deleted social apps such as tiktok and Instagram but it always caught my attention when new posts showed up in Whispers.sg. I have been paying luxury yoga center and gym but I often find excuses to go tomorrow but when tomorrow comes, I often find another excuse.

Everything I want to do, I’m hot in the beginning, then I start to find excuses.

I don’t really enjoy freedom if I can’t live in a perfect version of myself. When I can’t say “No” to many excuses in my brains.

I don’t really have the freedom to be myself but be a slave to my old repeated patterns.

How do you discipline yourself when you want to lose weight and become fit?

What did you say to your brains when your brains give you excuses?

Here are what netizens think:

  • The secret is not to be too ambitious about this and just do a little every day until it becomes a habit. Then more ambitious goals are attainable once you have a base of good habits.
  • you need a good pull factor. something that you want bad enough and have to do these things to achieve it.
  • Haha it is the same problem for me… but when I reach my age late last yr, back aching pushes me to walk 9k steps a day at least and stiff neck pushes me to reduce screentime. I guess i am also a lazy person, waiting till Aging problems came then I started to fix it
  • first you need to tell yourself that you (your brain) is in charge of the body. Don’t let your body tell the brain what to do. You can call your body stupid if it helps. “Stupid body! Why are you so hungry all the time?”
  • Secondly, you need to accept that what normal people eat is unhealthy. They dont care. They indulge in whatever they feel like 3 times a day. You cannot afford to eat like the normal person if you want to lose weight. You need to change your eating habits. Eat like a celebrity. Eat less than a primary school kid everyday. This is the hardest of all to do. Because some people cannot give up on their food. Invest in an air fryer. Only cook what you can eat. Dont order more than you can finish. No leftovers. No wastage. Edited my post to make it shorter. Can DM me if need more tips. I can advise on taking natural supplements and a simple exercise routine daily.
