Disclaimer: Just sharing my two cents here, no offense to anyone.
So, let’s dive into the wild world of hookup culture, which seems to be all the rage these days. I’ve been in the education biz for a good five years, and lately, I’ve been overhearing some young bucks talking about their ‘body count.’ One time, I strolled past a group, and this gal in her early 20s was proudly declaring that her body count (approx 10?) was higher than the number of people she’s actually dated. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to be all judgmental, but it got me thinking – is that something to be proud of?
Yeah, I’m no spring chicken, but if I ever have a daughter, you better believe I’ll be drilling some good ol’ values into her. But here’s the real question: Why do folks feel the need to flaunt their body counts? Is it a self-esteem thing, like they want to appear ‘more wanted? I’m just curious, would love to hear what y’all think about this.” ????????????
Here are what netizens think:
Not much different from social media posts flouting their best lives. GenZ are more interested in what random people think of them than what really matters. Being humble and modest are not in their vocabulary.
is she an israeli sniper on the west bank?
Their mothers are prolly on their knees serving men too so I guess they birthed more meat for men.
found out that my bf secretly finds me fat and constantly compares me to slimmer girls
I feel like I kinda messed up on this one. I looked through his messages with this girl he’s friends with. she is his ex, so I was anxious and wanted to know what they were talking about.
my gut was telling me something was off. I’m not trying to justify the snooping though, I get that it was wrong for me to invade his privacy.
call it karma but I literally walked into this myself. I saw him telling her that he’s “confused about his feelings at times” and that when he sees other slimmer girls, he wished I looked like them. I can’t even face him anymore, because I know what he’s thinking about my body size.
for the record, I’m not very fat or obese. just a little plump, on the chubbier end. plus I’ve been struggling mentally for a long time, hence the weight gain. I’m at the heaviest I’ve ever been, but not obese. I already hate my body so much.
he mentioned in the text messages that he would feel guilty for thinking about me in that manner. but I guess what really messed with my mind was that he said he’s not sure if he can accept it if I gained even more weight.
now I’m not sure what to do. I really screwed up big time by looking through his messages and it’s messing me up on the inside so badly.
I Like To Pretend Sleep So I Can Hear The Sweet Things My Boyfriend Says About Me
Whenever I’m asleep and he’s still awake, my boyfriend will hold me in his arms and whisper the cutest things to me.
He tells me how much he loves me, how lucky he is to have met me, how he can’t believe he met a girl so perfect.
He does this every night that I sleep at his house and he even does it on the occasions that I fall asleep on a call with him.
Sometimes I pretend asleep to hear all of the cute things he says when I’m passed out.
It’s not that he doesn’t say them when I’m awake, he absolutely does – I just love that he tells me even in my sleep that he appreciates me.
Netizens’ comments
I think he knows and I think its awesome
Such a rare thing you have in this day and age! Hold on to him support him make sure to end fights fast and with love in your voice and the love you share will only get stronger and better
This post single-handedly restored my faith in humanity, there really are precious people like your bf out there <33
I’m not jealous… I’m not jealous… I’m not jealous… I’m not jealous…
MULTI-AGENCY ENFORCEMENT OPERATION CONDUCTED AGAINST ERRANT MOTORCYCLISTS
The Traffic Police (TP) conducted a multi-agency operation with the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Land Transport Authority (LTA) against errant motorcyclists near the Woodlands Checkpoint on 26 October 2023.
During the operation, a total of 196 motorcycles were stopped for checks. TP detected 17 motorcyclists riding without a valid licence and without insurance coverage. The offence of driving without a valid driving licence under Section 35(1) of the Road Traffic Act 1961 carries a maximum fine of $10,000, a jail term of up to three years or both. Repeat offenders are liable to a maximum fine of $20,000, a jail term of up to six years or both. The vehicle may also be forfeited. The offence of using a motor vehicle without insurance coverage under Section 3(1) of the Motor Vehicles (Third-Party Risks and Compensation) Act 1960 carries a maximum fine of $1,000, a jail term of up to three months or both.
NEA also issued 37 summonses for excessive emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and noise. These offences under the Environmental Protection and Management (Vehicular Emissions) Regulations, carry a fine not exceeding $2,000 for the first conviction, and a fine not exceeding $5,000 for a second or subsequent conviction.
In addition, LTA detected 21 motorcycles with improper licence plates. The offence of displaying improper licence plates carries a fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment of up to three months or both. Repeat offenders are liable to a maximum fine of $2,000, a jail term of up to six months or both.
All vehicles, including foreign-registered vehicles, entering Singapore must comply with Singapore’s traffic laws and stipulated safety and emission requirements. The licence plates on these vehicles must conform to the requisite specifications and be properly displayed. Motorists who are found to be non-compliant may face penalties and foreign-registered vehicles may be denied entry into Singapore at the land checkpoints.
TP would like to remind all motorcyclists to abide by the traffic rules and practise safe riding as motorcyclists and pillion riders continue to be over-represented in the number of road traffic accidents. We also urge all road users to play their part by adopting good RoadSense and looking out for one another.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE 03 November 2023 @ 12:45 PM
To improve road safety, the Traffic Police (TP) will require lorries with a Maximum Laden Weight (MLW) of between 3,501kg and 12,000kg (inclusive) to be installed with speed limiters, which will ensure that these lorries do not go beyond the speed limit of 60km/h.
This will be implemented in phases. Lorries in this category can begin installation from 1 January 2024. Installation of Speed Limiters on Existing Lorries in Singapore
Based on consultations with the industry, TP recognises that some time is required to develop the speed limiters to comply with our local requirements, as well as to supply and install the speed limiters. Therefore, while installation will begin from 1 January 2024, lorries will be given two to three years to install and comply with the speed limiter requirement, as indicated in Table 1.
Table 1: Date from which Speed Limiter Requirement Applies
Category
MLW (kg)

The speed limiters can only be installed by companies that are authorised by TP (“Authorised Agents”). All lorries will be subjected to a compliance check at the point of installation by an Authorised Agent, to ensure that the speed limiter installed is functioning properly.
Companies that are keen to supply, install, rectify, or perform inspections on speed limiters will have to apply to be an Authorised Agent at https://go.gov.sg/tp-authorised-agent-application by 30 November 2023. Companies that are already authorised by TP to install speed limiters for other goods vehicles would also need to apply. TP will issue authorisation certificates to successful applicants by 31 December 2023.
Requirement for Newly-Imported Lorries
From 1 January 2026, newly imported lorries with MLW between 3,501kg and 12,000kg (inclusive) must be equipped with speed limiters in order to be approved for use in Singapore. The relevant documentation should be submitted to the Land Transport Authority (LTA) when seeking pre-registration approval, to show that the lorry is compliant with TP’s speed limiter requirements.
TP is also reviewing our laws to strengthen deterrence against speed-limiter offences such as tampering and non-compliant speed limiters, and against unauthorised speed limiter works. More details will be announced later.
ANNEX Why do I need to install a Speed Limiter
The speed limiter regime aims to improve road safety and driving behaviour. It complements other measures intended to reduce fatalities and injuries among all road users.
Under Singapore’s laws, it is mandatory for speed limiters to be installed in the following categories of vehicles:
every goods vehicle having a MLW exceeding 12,000kg and which has, or if a speed limiter is not fitted to it would have, a maximum speed exceeding 60km/h; and
every public service vehicle having a MLW exceeding 10,000kg and which has, or if a speed limiter is not fitted to it would have, a maximum speed exceeding 60km/h.
Currently, lorries with a MLW between 3,501kg and 12,000kg (inclusive) are not required by law to have any speed management devices, or speed limiters. The law to have speed limiters will be expanded to all lorries in this weight category progressively over 1 January 2026 to 1 July 2027.
Who needs to install a Speed Limiter
All lorries with a Maximum Laden Weight (MLW) of between 3,501kg and 12,000kg (inclusive).
A speed limiter can only be fitted by an Authorised Agent (AA). An AA is one who undertakes any of the following services relating to speed limiters in Singapore –
Supply;
Installation;
Rectification; or
Inspection of vehicles (fitted with an ECU-based speed limiter).
Only TP can issue authorisation certificates and appoint AAs.
What is a Speed Limiter
Speed limiters limit the maximum speed of a vehicle. In Singapore, it is already a requirement for goods vehicles with MLW above 12,000kg to be fitted with speed limiters and for goods vehicles with MLW not exceeding 3,500kg to be fitted with Speed Warning Devices (SWD). An SWD alerts the driver that he/she has exceeded the speed limit imposed on the vehicle that he is driving.
There are two types of speed limiters – mechanical and Electronic Control Unit (ECU)-based. The ECU-based speed limiter is a newer type of speed limiter. It is estimated to cost less than the mechanical speed limiter. Lorry owners are strongly encouraged to install an ECU-based speed limiter, and should check with AAs on whether their lorry is suitable for installing one. Should the lorry specifications not allow for the installation of such an ECU-based speed limiter, the lorry owner can opt to install a mechanical speed limiter instead.
When to install a Speed Limiter
You are encouraged to install a speed limiter at the earliest opportunity from 1 January 2024 onwards. The timeline is shown in the table below.

I have been with my girlfriend for 4 years. I am about to get married, we set a deadline with her parents and if we did not hit it we would have to separate.
one thing that I can’t get focus on is losing weight. With our pre-wedding photoshoot and dress selection coming up soon.
My life has always been hectic and I’m always stressed, by work, by my relationship with my fiancé , by her dissatisfaction and disappointment with my inabilities to do better.
It came to the point where she would always point out that I’m fat in every conversation.
She doesn’t care if I’m working on losing weight because she said if I don’t change my ways and on my deathbed, she would be saying, “you deserved it”.
I feel like a loser most of the time because of failure and defeat. I have lost 20kg on a keto diet in 3 months but gained 10kg back when I stopped.
It wasn’t encouragement that I got when I lost weight but the only disappointment that I didn’t hit my goal of a 100KG, and even if I’m 100kg, I would still look like a fat person to her.
I have no idea how I can work out and manage this at the same time.
Netizens’ comments
She is toxic, but I agree that you should keep a healthy BMI for health reasons.So leave her, work on your BMI (using healthy methods), then find someone better
She has zero respect for you and hence the harsh words. No words of encouragement? No working out together? Since she’s so disappointed then let her go find someone else lohDitch her lah. The best way to live your life is to live it for yourself first and foremost before living it for someone else that matters.
Last night I had my boyfriend and a few of our mutual friends over to my apartment to drink and play games. Well after a few hours we were all pretty wasted and playing truth or dare. When my boyfriend picked truth, I couldnt think of a good question so I asked jokingly which one of my friends he would sleep with. I’ve always been secure in our relationship so I wasnt asking because I was suspicious.
I was 100% sure he would say “none of them” or give a joke answer, but no. Without hesitation he pointed to our friend Stephanie and said “probably Stephanie,” then looked at her boyfriend Jacob and said “no disrespect, man, but damn you’re lucky you get to piak that” and looked her up and down
The room went silent. Stephanie had a disgusted look on her face. She crossed her arms to cover her chest and looked like she was about to blow up at him. He picked up on the fact that everyone was shocked by his answer so he said “What? Asked and answered. Come on. Lets move on”
Stephanie got up out of her seat and went outside to have a smoke. Her boyfriend followed after her. I got up too and he started to look panicked saying “what did i do wrong?? You asked me a question and I answered truthfully! You shouldnt have asked if you didnt want to know the answer” I just said “You’re right. I shouldnt have asked”
I went outside and apologized profusely to Stephanie and Jacob for putting them in that position. Stephanie said its not my fault, but I felt awful. If I had known he would give a real answer I never would have asked him that.
I went back inside and all of my guests were packing their things and leaving. When they were all gone, my boyfriend said he wanted to break up because I’m too dramatic.
I was emotionally numb in that moment so I said “oh good. I love when the trash takes itself out”. He started crying and saying he didn’t mean it. I ordered him an Grab and let him stay inside until the Grab got here. I held it together until he was gone and then finally cried
Are you an avid traveler seeking the ultimate road trip experience? Picture this: driving from the bustling streets of Singapore, climbing up to the breathtaking heights of 4,200 meters, and braving everything from freezing cold to sweltering heat.
The adventure starts with Wang’s return to Singapore after an awe-inspiring 27-day road trip that spanned over 11,000 kilometers. The journey led them through a remarkable spectrum of landscapes, from sea level to the towering heights of 4,200 meters. They encountered freezing temperatures as low as 0°C, and then ventured into scorching heat that reached 35°C. But what truly sets this journey apart is the sheer diversity of the terrain they traversed.
From Storms to Splendor
The road wasn’t always smooth and inviting; they faced thunderstorms and snowflakes on one hand and horrible, broken roads on the other. Yet, these hurdles only added to the charm of the journey, for they were balanced by the sheer pleasure of driving on splendid, well-maintained roads.
The journey was a fascinating mix of experiences. It included long stretches of perfect tarmac highways with thrilling bends, offering a chance to test the limits of their driving skills. On the flip side, they also encountered hours of exciting B-roads, where every turn presented a new adventure.
From Valleys to Peaks
One of the highlights of this expedition was the transition from valleys to peaks. Wang took in breathtaking views as they ascended to the lofty heights, experiencing the world from an entirely different perspective.
As with any grand adventure, there were moments of frustration. But, ultimately, the journey was a testament to the boundless joy that comes with exploring new horizons.
Driving into China
Now, let’s get to the practical details. Can you drive into China with your own vehicle? Yes, it’s possible, but there are some key requirements to meet:
Provisional Chinese Driving License: To drive in China, you’ll need to obtain a provisional Chinese driving license.
Provisional Vehicle Number: You’ll also need a provisional vehicle number.
Tour Guide: A tour guide capable of handling foreigners is a must. They’ll accompany you from the day of entry until your departure.
Tibetan Local Guide: If you plan to visit Tibet, a separate Tibetan local guide is required.
Planning the Trip
The process of getting a provisional Chinese driving license and vehicle number isn’t straightforward. You can’t just apply for them and drive into China whenever you wish. You’ll need to submit an application with your fixed itinerary, including the date of entry and departure.
There are two main methods for driving to China:
Road Trip Packages: Search online for road trip packages to China. These packages typically come with fixed itineraries, departure times, and prices. Many adventure companies from China, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand specialize in these road trips. They handle all the necessary paperwork, so you can simply pay and prepare to travel. Fees are often charged on a per-person basis, with additional charges for the car application.
Custom Road Trip: Alternatively, you can gather a group of friends and contact specialized tour companies in China to arrange a custom road trip for you. If you’re not an experienced planner or familiar with China, it’s advisable to leave the trip planning to the tour agent.
Preparing for the Journey
To embark on this thrilling adventure, you’ll need to provide the following documents:
Driving License
Passport
Log Card
Road Tax
While many follow tour groups, Wang chose to plan their own itinerary for the Thailand leg of the journey, from Singapore to Chiang Khong and back. This choice allowed them to savor more time in Nan, Chiang Rai, and Mae Hong Son, relishing the beautiful B-roads and making the trip uniquely their own.
Joining the Convoy
For the China section, Wang joined a Thai adventure group. They met the group in Chiang Khong and embarked on a thrilling journey from Laos to China and back to Chiang Khong. However, they don’t endorse this option for English speakers, as the convoy leader and guide primarily communicate in Thai. For convoy travel, effective communication is crucial, especially when navigating right-hand drive cars on left-hand drive roads.
This article aims to provide a glimpse into the incredible journey of driving to China. Wang plans to share more details on their Facebook page when time permits. After a well-deserved rest, they’ll start preparing for their next auto adventure in Thailand and China. It’s clear that this journey has provided them with invaluable insights into the art of driving to China, and they’re eager to encourage others to embark on this remarkable road trip.
A Life-Changing Experience
Is it worth driving in China? According to Wang, absolutely. They encourage everyone to take the plunge while they’re still healthy. The trip’s incredible experiences are a testament to the affordability, accessibility, and diversity of destinations that China offers to road trip enthusiasts.
To navigate in China, it’s essential to learn how to use Amap (高得) or Baidu Map, as Google Maps is largely ineffective in the country. These local alternatives provide up-to-date information on roads and establishments, ensuring a smooth journey.
Wang’s Facebook post (SIC)
I am back in Singapore after 27 days and 11,000km on the road. From sea level to 4,200m altitude. Freezing 0°C to scotching 35°C heat. Drove through thunderstorms and snowflakes, horrible broken roads to absolutely splendid roads. Hours of perfect tarmac highways with fast bends. Hours of exciting B-roads. From valleys to peaks. There were frustrations and happiness. Ultimately, it was joy and more joy.
You can drive into China with your vehicle. You need 1) a provisional Chinese driving licence, 2) a provisional vehicle number, 3) a tour guide who can handle foreigners will be with you from the day of entry until your departure and 4) a separate Tibetan local guide if you are going to Tibet. I will not go into the minute details here; you can go to my page.
You cannot apply for 1 and 2 hopping to drive into China and go anywhere and anytime you wish. To apply for 2, an application with your fixed itinerary, date of entry and departure must be submitted. There are 2 main methods to drive to China. You search online for road trips packages to China that have fixed itinerary, time of departure and price. There are adventure companies from China, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand that specialise in this type of road trips. They will arrange all the documents for you; just pay and get ready to travel. Normally, they charge on per person basis and fees for the car application.
Alternatively, you can gather a group of friends and contact the specialised tour companies in China to arrange a road trip for you. Unless you are an experienced planner and knows China very well, you should leave it to the tour agent to plan the trip for you.
You only need to send them 1) driving license, 2) passport, 3) log card and 4) road tax.
I planned my own itinerary for Thailand, from Singapore to Chiang Khong and back to Singapore. I drove and travelled alone in Thailand. Many asked the number of days for my trip. I did not really want to answer because it varies from person to person. If you follow the tour group, it is likely a straightforward drive to Chiang Khong and back. I have driven to Thailand for the 7thtimes already, I like to spend more time in Nan, Chiang Rai and Mae Hong Son because I love driving on the beautiful B-roads. That is why my trip took longer than the tour packages would.
I joined a Thai adventure group for the China section. I met them in Chiang Khong and travelled with them from Laos to China and back to Chiang Khong. I do not endorse and recommend because the convoy leader and guide only speak in Thai language. If you have experienced travelling in a convoy, you will know the value of the instructions from the convoy leader through the walkie talkie. Bear in mind our cars are right hand drive and that makes overtaking on left hand drive roads difficult for the inexperienced drivers without the assistance from the convoy leader.
I try to give you an understanding of driving to China. I will add more details in my Facebook page when time permit. After a few days’ rest, I will have to start preparing for my next Auto adventure for Thailand and China. I have learnt a lot about driving to China in this trip. I had lived in China for 10 years and had driven in Yunnan. I will plan my own trips (with the assistance of the Chinese guide) for China in future. Those who read my page know my plans.
Yes, it is worth driving to/in China. Do it when you are still healthy. Two old men died in Yading two weeks ago due to high altitude. My motivation for posting here is to encourage more people to drive to/in China, and it is reasonably affordable for the destinations, distance and time. I also want to dispel the often-heard rumour that only SUV is capable. That is why I often say second hand news from people who have not done it themselves are very dangerous. But do not get me wrong, not all non-SUV. I would not suggest small engine under 2L and super low-profile tyres. That is for another topic in my page.
Learn to use Amap (高得) or Baidu Map in China. Google Map is useless in China, it does not show the new roads and establishments.
I thank the admin for allowing me to post non-Malaysia road trip here. I know the rules that road trips must only start and end in Singapore, but I will not post too many non-Malaysia trips here. And thank you all for the “likes”.
If you love and enjoy driving, just do it.
PS. Allow me to dispel some false information. There is no need to pass any tests to apply for the provisional driving licence. The Chinese agent will do the conversion for you assuming you already have a driving licence from your country. There is no requirement for “right connections” and special permits for each province. The exception is Tibet where the agent will apply permit for your vehicle and you to enter the special zone. Any vehicles can enter China, not just diplomatic vehicles. Any type of vehicles can go to China, not only SUV and trucks. There is no requirement to report your income.
It’s been 2 years since my son died and I still cry every day at least 10 times. I will never be better. I’m sure this feeling will never leave me. It’s constant fear and sadness that lives in my chest. It’s like I’m both going up to the top of the rollercoaster and seeing my son’s body for the first time. I actually don’t remember the first time I saw his body. I had a full body shock and collapsed and got a concussion on a corner of a table. Not a good week.
I didn’t have anyone to cry with. His dad left when he was only 3 months old. My mother was there, but emotions haven’t computed with her right since her stroke. She was a shoulder, but there wasn’t a lot of heat coming from it, if that makes sense.
His death was meaningless and empty. I cry so much. I’m crying now. Little sobs. It’s gotten easier to see through tears. I’m a barista now. What a joke. A 29 year old barista. He was only 5. He liked marvel and the Flash, but none of the other DC superhero’s. He’d always say that he was a marvel hero, and he’d draw him with Spider-Man and would jump with happiness when I’d look at his pictures. And at night when he’d finally want to go to bed he could never fall asleep if I wasn’t in the room, preferably in bed next to him. He’d throw fits in toy stores if I didn’t look at what he wanted. He’d apologize in the car and draw me a picture when we’d get home. He would run around the yard for hours, just in laps.
I didn’t go to his funeral or anything. I was in bed. People visited me. They said stuff. It didn’t matter. Like really it didn’t. They didn’t know what it felt like. It was crushing. It still is crushing. It’s like a whole planet on top of me.
I’m so full of sadness and hate and anxiety and fear. I’m very aware of my emotions, my therapist says that’s good. But it doesn’t make anything easier.
This was good to type out though. I’m not crying right now, not anymore. I don’t have work tomorrow. I cleaned my room tonight while crying. My mom brought me some cookies and tea. That’s how she shows her love. No words, just warm food. I have those dumb strip lights. My rooms purple right now. I just want to hold him again. I’ll never ever ever hold him again. I miss him so much. I would take anything. I’d take the week he and I were terribly sick and he threw up all over me and I had to clean up while sore and sweating and holding back vomit. I’d take that, just a minute of that. Of pain and illness. Just to see him again. I never got to say goodbye. I wasn’t e en the one who took him to the bus stop that day. My mom did. I don’t remember if I even said good night to him the night before. Everything’s on fire around me. I don’t know how to put it out.
In an incident that has taken over the headlines in both Singapore and Malaysia over the last weeks, a 25-year-old Malaysian man, Xie Zhiyu, was killed in a fatal stabbing, that resulted in 2 Singaporean men and a Malaysian woman being arrested in connection to the murder.
All three of them were caught after crashing the Singapore-registered Audi that they were in, into the fence of the Johor Royal Palace and hitting two other vehicles along the way.
They were also found to have tested positive for the consumption of methamphetamine.
Timeline of events (so far)
The whole incident kicked off in the wee hours outside a KTV nightclub on 27 October, in Taman Sentosa.
The victim left the nightclub at about 3am that morning, and witnesses reported seeing him being chased by a man dressed in black, before stabbing him several times on his chest, abdomen, ribs, shoulders, back, hand and face, according to China Press.
The victim then managed to escape and found himself at a shop nearby, sitting himself down on a chair along the corridor at about 3.11am, according to footage captured on CCTV cameras.
He remained conscious and alive for a few moment, before he eventually slumped over and collapsed onto the ground.
Following that, the police began their manhunt for the suspects after being alerted to a fight that had broken out, involving sharp weapons at about 3.41am.
At the same time, three suspects were found by the police inside a car along Jalan Tanjung Puteri at about 5.28am when police tried to conduct checks on the vehicle.
The driver then sped off and fled from the officers along Jalan Tun Dr Ismail, before losing control of the vehicle and crashing.
The car also hit two other vehicles and eventually ended up crashing into the Johor Royal Palace, or the Istana Besar.
The three occupants inside the car; a 26-year-old Singaporean man, Fu Yiming; a 29-year-old Singaporean man, Pan Xuanyao and a 33-year-old Malaysian woman Yang Yiwen.
They were subsequently found to have tested positive for consuming methamphetamine.
The police then later pieced together information and connected them with the murder of the 25-year-old Malaysian man, Xie Zhiyu, at the nightclub.
Could possibly get death sentence
The three suspects were then brought to court on 28 October.
29-year-old Singaporean Pan Xuanyao, was charged with being the driver of the Audi that crashed into the Johor Palace and driving while under drug use.
He was offered an RM12,000 bail release for his charges and required two guarantors in Malaysia, as well as being required to report to the police once a month before his next court hearing.
It was reported that he is allowed to get his Singapore passport back.
The third suspect, 33-year-old Malaysian woman Yang Yiwen, was also reportedly allowed a verbal bail release as well.
On 31 October, the primary murder suspect, 26-year-old Singaporean Fu Yiming, was charged with murder and drug consumption, where he denied his drug charge despite being found to have tested positive.
It was reported that he faced the charges with a sense of defiance, raising eyebrows in the courtroom.
The gravity of the situation and the potential consequences did not seem to deter his audacious demeanor, as he shouted at the media outside the courtroom to “film me!” while asking them “you never cover a murder case before is it?”
He was also filmed telling a friend to ask for help from someone called “Rayner” to “settle” all his problems quickly, as he was being escorted away from the courtroom by the police.
The funeral proceedings for the victim commenced at the same time as the suspects faced legal action on 28 October, Xie’s family and friends bid him farewell at his funeral.
He was subsequently cremated at the Nirvana Kulai Memorial Park, as his father told the media that his son died a wrongful death, and that he didn’t recognise the Singaporean suspects.
According to Sin Chew Daily, Xie worked as an electrician at a university in Skudai, Johor. Those who knew him described him as a filial son who never found himself in trouble or stayed out late.
Zhiyu’s parents shared their heartfelt sentiments during his wake, painting a picture of a son who was not only responsible but also deeply caring.
He was the type of person who would go home promptly after his work shift and, at most, enjoy tea with friends. Such responsible behavior led his parents to have absolute faith in his safety and well-being.
What remains a point of confusion for the grieving family is Zhiyu’s reluctance to confide in them about any problems he might have been facing.
On the night of the incident, Zhiyu left his home without disclosing his destination to his parents. This departure raised alarm bells when the family received a call from one of Zhiyu’s friends around 3 a.m.
It was then that they learned of the grim situation. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived at the scene, it was too late.
The father expressed that he does not recognize the Singaporean suspects, and he’s also not sure if his son had a girlfriend at the time or not.
Malaysian woman comes into the picture
In the latest development, the 33-year-old female Malaysian suspect, Yang Yiwen has since been categorised as a tainted witness, with the police investigating the murder being caused by jealousy between Fu and the deceased, centred around her.
According to numerous reports and online accounts from people who are allegedly known to the suspects, Fu was in an on-and-off relationship with Yang that resulted in the murder of Xie.
Yang was purportedly in a relationship with the murder suspect, 26-year-old Fu Yiming, and they allegedly got into an argument and broke up.
She then declared that she was single and went to the nightclub to seek solace and have fun.
The deceased, Xie, met the girl and they soon slept together, after she allegedly told him that she was single and was not seeing anyone.
Weeks later, Yang got back together with her ex-boyfriend, the murder suspect Fu, and she allegedly claimed that Xie had molested her.
She then allegedly demanded a compensation of RM5,000 from Xie as well as letting them slap him 3 times. Fu then threatened the deceased if he didn’t agree to their terms.
Fu also allegedly said that he was a wanted man in Singapore and was not afraid to “add a few more charges” to his name.
The deceased then asked them to give him one day to prepare himself, purportedly agreeing to their demands.
However, when the deceased went to pick up his car outside a KTV nightclub later that night; Fu, who had purportedly been on drugs, then confronted him and stabbed him repeatedly with the knife, causing the now-infamous headline-grabbing murder case.
At the time of writing, the murder case is still being dealt with in the Malaysian courts and is still ongoing.
