A traffic accident took place yesterday along Sims Avenue, involving a bus and a van, resulting in passengers having to alight.
The accident also caused a traffic jam, and the passengers had to alight from several buses at the back that were stuck because of the accident in front.
According to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), they said that one person was conveyed to Changi General Hospital following the accident.
A netizen on TikTok posted a video of the aftermath of the accident on 25 March, and he captioned the video (SIC): “Bus and van accident at Sims ave causes of Traffic jam about 2km”
In the video, it showed a bus that appeared to have crashed into the side of a black-coloured van in the middle of the road.
Both the bus and the van remained stationary in the middle of the road, as the other motorists nearby tried to manoeuvre their way around the wreckage.
Passengers from the other buses were also seen in the video alighting from the vehicles, with the buses “queuing” up at the back in a row due to the accident blocking off the whole road.
SBS Transit officers were also on site helping to guide the disembarked passengers down the street.
The netizen said that the accident between the bus and the van had allegedly caused a traffic jam that spanned about 2 km.
Another video was also shared, following up on the previous video, showing the passengers still alighting from the buses, with traffic coming to a halt.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed the accident and said that the accident happened on 25 March, and they received a call for help at about 5.15 pm in the afternoon about an accident that occurred along Sims Avenue, near Jalan Turi.
It was previously reported by several major news outlets that a road rage incident took place along Selegie Road in the early hours of 19 March, involving a man, three women and several drivers who were in the vicinity.
According to Mothership, the man seen in the video, identified in court documents as 34-year-old Lee Wei Jian, was charged in court yesterday (25 March) with causing public nuisance for stopping his vehicle abruptly in the middle of the road, as well as threatening other road users and causing danger to the public.
He was also charged with a number of offences for earlier incidents, including voluntarily causing hurt and use of criminal force.
According to the police’s preliminary investigations, it was found that Lee and the victim were a couple, and at the time of the incident, they were having a dispute.
He is currently being remanded at the Central Police Division at the Police Cantonment Complex and was denied bail because the judge noted that he had committed three alleged offences while out on bail; he is expected to return to court on 5 April, 3pm for his Pre-Trial Conference.
If convicted of public nuisance, he faces a fine of up to $2,000.
If convicted of public nuisance knowing that it will cause, or will probably cause danger, common injury of annoyance to the public, Lee faces a jail term of up to 3 months and/or a fine of up to $2,000.
New evidence surfaces showing him punching victim
Another video of the incident taken from an aerial view was shared online yesterday by the Facebook page SG Road Vigilante, documenting the full extent of the incident.
In the latest video, Lee, who was seen wearing a greenish-blue t-shirt, was seen throwing punches at one of the three women who were with him at the time.
A woman was heard in the video wailing and screaming.
The victim, donning a pair of greyish skinny jeans, was seen standing with her back against a concrete road barricade, with another woman wearing a dress, facing her and having her arms around her neck, appearing to be protecting her from Lee’s attempted punches.
However, Lee still managed to find his way around and continued attacking the woman, as seen in the video.
Woman tried to shield victim from him
A third woman wearing a dress and boots, carrying a bag, was seen using her phone and also trying to stop Lee from attacking the victim, for a few moments.
Lee was also seen running across 5 lanes on the road, heading towards Tekka Centre while pointing at something, before running out of the frame of the video.
Meanwhile, the victim ran away in the opposite direction of the video frame, while the other two women who were seen in the earlier parts of the video trying to stop the attack, remained at the scene.
One of them reached into the car for her belongings from the driver’s side of the car, despite the oncoming traffic.
Moments later, Lee was seen running across several lanes and going back to the scene, speaking to the two women before driving off and leaving the two women behind.
Recap on original post
According to MustShareNews and the netizen who shared the video with SG Road Vigilante, she was with her husband on their way to Tekka Market for breakfast on 19 March at about 6am in the morning, along Selegie Road.
Nearing the junction, she saw a stationary vehicle on the left lane without its hazard lights on, and she claimed that they saw a Chinese lady allegedly crying helplessly and running around a BMW while trying to get away from a man who was chasing after her.
The netizen said that there were many drivers who stopped in front of the commotion, and claimed that whenever the passing drivers stopped to check out what was happening, the man would allegedly open their car door and hurl vulgarities at them, as well as allegedly trying to meddle with their dashboard camera.
The netizen wanted to be a “good samaritan” and called the police for help, and was filming the incident when the man reached into her car and allegedly tried to grab her phone.
However, he failed and the netizen claimed that the man allegedly pulled her hair and scratched her chest, resulting in her dress buttons “popping out”, and her arms being scratched.
She added that her husband then drove away from the scene to avoid further damage, and that the man had allegedly punched their back mirror and continued to attack their car.
Her husband then drove towards Tekka and eventually stopped at Sungei Road, and the man allegedly saw their car and ran from where his car was to their vehicle and allegedly hit their rearview mirrors and bonnet, damaging it.
The netizen claimed that after the police arrived, they gave their statement but the man had allegedly left the scene before the arrival of the officers.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE 24 March 2023 @ 11:15 PM
My boyfriend’s breath is extremely bad and smell like trash.
Disclaimer: My bf has a rare throat disease that causes bad breath!!! I am fully aware of this and accept it. I know he will never not have bad breath. However…
He doesn’t properly take care of his mouth either. He never flosses, he denies tonsil stones exist despite the smell of them being strongly on his breath, and doesn’t brush his teeth daily.
I find poor dental hygiene in a relationship to be unacceptable. But because he has a disability that makes it worse, I have a hard time being stern about this, yet you’d think if he is already predisposed to bad breath, that he’d take care of his mouth…
I also think a simple mouthwash before kissing (without needing to be asked) can go a long way. He’s prone to bad breath with his disease, but that doesn’t mean he can never not have good breath if he tried.
It also doesn’t help that I have an extremely sensitive nose.
I’m more than willing to look past the bad breath which he cannot help, but he doesn’t even take steps to make it better.
And it’s so bad that I cannot even face his direction in the morning or night before brushing without wanting to puke.
Netizens’ comments
Since you asked for advice, mine is to break things off. I know this sounds extreme, but this man doesn’t respect you or those around him. He knows he’s predisposed to horrible breath, yet does absolutely nothing to rectify the situation. His condition is not a disability; it’s not even that relevant. His breath would be rancid even if he didn’t have that, simply because he does not brush every day. A grown man should not have to be babied and coaxed into basic oral hygiene. Personally, I don’t can’t imagine being even remotely attracted to somebody with habitually horrible breath who does nothing to keep his mouth clean.
You’re braver than me. I couldn’t kiss someone that might give me gingivitis from his bacteria ridden mouth.
I (33F) with my boyfriend (37M) for over 10 years.
Diagnosed with Stage 4 inflammatory mammary cancer in September. Went through chemotherapy and got left breast removed.
Treatment is going good. Pathology report shows that the chemo was 100% effective. I maybe in NED.
Obviously I wasn’t active in bed or interested at that time. That kind of happens when you are fighting for your damn life.
Now, my confidence is through the roof. My hair is slowly coming back including my limbo. We are not going to be active in bed until after I heal from hysterectomy surgery.
I am trying to figure out what to do. I am into soft-dom. My bf is into women into corsets and such. Before, he would play with my chests as foreplay before my cancer. That may be a bit difficult now.
I can do prosthetics to wear but it’s not gonna be close. It may be a bit off putting as well.
Suggestions we can try? Thanks!
Netizens’ comments
Don’t worry. Your man is likely happy to have one to play with, because of the woman it’s attached to. You are the reason he gets turned on. Not your chest. When you are ready, your play will adapt.
A tattoo over the one side would be pretty damn cool adorning it in an alternate style could take it from a scar to an asymmetric work of beauty
There’s some lovely lady on here who got implants and an extravagant tattoo after she had a double mastectomy. Maybe not an immediate option, but something you can consider if you’re in the market.
If he loves you he won’t care about difference
Glad you’re feeling better. Is it possible that you’re just feeling a little self conscious right now and getting in your own head about this? I think it would be natural to, but sounds like you got a loving man, don’t think this will be an issue at all.
Hey all, So lately my gf has asked me not to pull out when we’re f-ing. She isn’t on any kind of birth control, so we’ve been relying on the pull out method.
She says she knows her body, knows when she’s ovulating, and says the day or two leading up to and the day after her period it’s really hard to get pregnant, so that’s when when she says I can leave it in, but I have my doubts.
I’m just not comfortable doing that as per the obvious potential consequences. I would never pressure her to start any form of birth control, but that would be the only way I’m comfortable not pulling out.
It’s her body and she knows it way better than I do obviously, so am I justified in thinking it’s extremely risky or is she correct?
Even if it was kinda a stupid question I just felt so inexperienced I needed to ask. She’s only the second person I’ve ever slept with and first “real” relationship
Netizens’ comments
My aunt and uncle only wanted two children. Their religious beliefs left them with the pull-out method as their only form of birth control. They gave me SIX cousins.
Welcome to parenting …!
You won’t pressure her to get on birth control, she shouldn’t be pressuring you into doing something you are not comfortable with. Consent is a two way street, if you don’t want to then don’t. She should understand and accept your choice.
‘Knowing her body’ bit is suspicious, there are calendar-based methods but she’d need to carefully track her period. Unless she shows she does actually use them, don’t believe her. Also, pull out isn’t that safe either, it relies on you correctly telling when you’re close and having enough self control to pull out before you come.
She will get pregnant. End of story. If you don’t want this, it’s your choice to use your boundaries and say no, you will be using a condom.
You’re already using withdrawl as a “method” of contraception. For me, being a “method” implies some kind of reliability and an 80% probability in a year is not reliable enough for my comfort. What she’s asking is to use a variation of the “rhythm method” which is even less reliable than withdrawal. Personally I wouldn’t do either unless I was happy for my partner to get pregnant. For example – Mrs-Norty and I used withdrawl between our first & second children, but we practiced it knowing that we were planning a 2nd child and if it “failed” the worst-case was it messed with our timetable a bit.
Sleeping with my husband’s mistress’ husband as revenge.
Quick catch up to provide some context: I found out my husband was cheating on me with another woman, and so I slept with that woman’s husband in return.
I showed my bf all the messages (I will call him bf because his official title: my “husband’s mistress’s husband” is too long to type).
He was as distraught and hurt as I was. We know what we are doing isn’t optimal but what else could we do. Two miserable, jilted hearts that found solace in each other.
It is not about the bedroom activities anymore. We have become each other’s support and coping tools. My husband’s affair killed me.
It destroyed my self esteem and everything good I knew about love and my bf helped me build this back up. I feel beautiful again, wanted and desired. Judge me all you want because you will never understand.
My bf has just started his company and divorce would be the end of his career because she will take 1/2. He is hoping to be able to buy her out later on.
My husband and I both have good and stable careers and we have built a beautiful home together. We have been great at juggling work and parenthood (and affairs obviously).
If we divorce we are gonna need to work less and downsize. But maybe once the children are a bit older and they’re in school. So we are back to square one.
We stay where we are and make the best of our situation. One thing has changed though. My bf told me that he loved me and that he considers us the main couple now.
And that he finally started looking forward to the future again. I actually love him too. More than I care to admit. It scares me because now my heart is at stake if I lose him.
About my husband and his mistress, I don’t know if they love each other or not. The messages between them are way less firey now. This is for those who asked why we wouldn’t just switch. They wouldn’t want that. Especially my husband.
All and all, not a perfect situation but I’m hopeful
I 24F have been with my bf (25M) for about 4 years. Since I had my baby, it’s been nonstop inappropriate comments from his dad.
They come and visit us a few times a year to see their grandchild and In the past he’s said things like:
“you look like you workout all night”,
“you look good for having a baby”
“I wish my wife looked as good as you”, and
“I want you guys to get family pictures, but beach themed so I can see you in a swimsuit”,
literally in front of EVERYONE and he sees no problem with what he says.
It gets worse, but I’ll get to that. Anyways, I HAVE spoken up and been like “ that makes me feel uncomfortable please stop that” but yet he continues.
When I talk to my bf about how his dad is making me feel it’s always things like “ it’s a compliment, just accept it. One day you won’t get them and you’ll miss it.”
Which honestly breaks my heart because you’d think he’d be outraged by hearing this.
I really don’t appreciate comments like asking to see me in a swimsuit from a middle aged man who is supposed to be my future father in law, like it doesn’t strike you as inappropriate?
If you like swimsuits so much, maybe buy a swimsuit for yourself or make your wife wear the swimsuit for you, don’t talk to me about my body.
I’ve gone as far as talking to his Mom about how I’m feeling which again, I get brushed as “ I’m sorry, that’s just how he is.”
BUT TODAY, a big line was crossed. I can’t remember what we were discussing, but I had disagreed with what his Dad had said and he said, without hesitation,”I should put you over my knee and spank you.”
The room went silent. I was completely taken aback by this and I said “ don’t you ever say anything about my body in ANY way again. That is absolutely disgusting.”
I told my bf about this and he rolled his eyes and all he said was,” it was a joke. I don’t understand why you can’t take a joke.”
I was so upset, I asked him if he thought it was okay for him to do that and he said no but to just stop taking things so seriously because he won’t say anything because “hates arguing with his dad”.
I know I’m not overreacting, cause I feel like this is harassment of some sort because this happens EVERY TIME they come to visit and I’ve voiced how I’m feeling to everyone and I’m brushed off, from the stupid swimsuit comments to wanting to spank me.
I guess I’m just asking what to do about my bf not sticking up for me when this happens because it’s gotten to the point where I wear very baggy clothes, don’t do my hair or makeup and try to avoid his dad so I don’t have to go through this, yet it still happens and I feel so alone.
I just want my bf to understand how I’m feeling and actually stick up for me instead of brushing me off leaving me to defend for myself….
Not giving my co worker the money for the shift I covered for her?
My (16m) coworker texted me and asked for the money that I got for working her shift. This is my first job so I don’t know if I’m in the wrong.
I need money and was happy to pick up my coworkers shift when she asked me to. The day after the shift she texted me and said “I think they accidentally gave the money to you even though it was my shift, do you mind sending me it?”
I think she’s just trying to gaslight me into giving her my money but I’m not 100% sure. I asked my parents and my mom said give it to her while my dad said it’s my money so I’m at a stand still.
Edit: I told her I’ll ask the general manager what to do and she said no just keep it. I asked him anyway and he said he‘ll talk to her and that’s the last I’ve heard from either of them as of now
Edit: I think she got fired. After I asked the general manager she texted me and cussed me out for telling him.

What is your mom on? It’s your money, you did the work. Your friend is acting like a pimp, maybe she is young and naïve but your mom should know better.
She wants to have time off and get paid also? She’s OK to try that with a co-worker. But if she pulled that stunt on anybody higher ranking, she’d be out of a job so fast it would make her head spin.
You worked the shift, you get paid for the shift. Covering a shift doesn’t mean you provide a free service to her and she gets paid. Why would anyone work if they could just get someone to cover for them and get the money?
NO, if you work the hours you get the money.
Do not give her the money. Do not even give her half as a compromise which she may try to ask you for. That’s just not how things work. You worked the shift, so you get paid. She’s delusional.
Your mom is kinda insane. That’s not how it works. They are trying to scam you. Now that you understand the person you’re dealing with, DISTANCE yourself. They are trouble.
Being paid is compensation for your time and effort. As it was YOUR time and effort, it’s YOU who should be paid. The person you covered didn’t use any of their time or any of their effort, so they don’t get paid. Simple as that.
Hi, this happened some time ago but it made me wonder whether people take advantage of young people/teenagers because of their age and supposedly “lack of life experience” that people like to target for.
About 2 months ago, my friend and I went bowling at a nearby SAFRA and we got a bowling lane beside some “professional” bowlers (they had their own bowling balls and shoes etc?).
So basically we were in lane i.e. 22, they were in 23 and a group of middle-aged adults were in lane 24.
Everything was fine until this 40-50 year old man came up to us and said we should lower our noise level and take turns to bowl, because apparently we were a distraction to their “professional” bowling.
I really don’t understand how we affected them, because lane 24 people were much more disruptive and the bowling alley in general is noisy af, I don’t know what else they were expecting because they went to a public bowling alley during peak hours.
We didn’t comply and the old man came back to us and said “i thought i asked you to bowl alternatively?” and my friend replied with “how are we distracting you?”.
He told him to open his god forsaken eyes, asked my friend to shut up and threatened to slap him.
We were two broke students trying to have fun during the holidays and he decided to intimidate us into complying although he didn’t make the same request to the other lane beside him.
Are there any other cases of adults taking advantage of young teenagers?
Netizens’ comments
Bowling etiquette is a thing. However, they booked a lane for themselves, not the whole alley. Hence, they are entitled to that lane, and not the other lanes. Distracting? Too bad, this is not their private event.
The short answer is yes, some older folks will try to “assert dominance” using their age, especially if they see that you’re young and less likely to talk back to them. As you said, there was a larger group of middle-aged bowlers in the lane beside them that was making more noise, yet he chose to pick on you and your friend instead. My guess is that he was frustrated by the distractions around him, but couldn’t confront the group of middle-aged bowlers, thus he went for the easier targets, i.e. 2 teenagers, then boosted his ego by telling your friend to shut up and threatening to slap him. A typical narcissist, in my opinion.
It’s actually normal bowling etiquette to alternate (let the guy on left or right, I can’t remember which, throw first if there’s conflict) so you don’t distract each other
If uncle want to fight, tell him come outside we settle
I was looking forward to catching up with my friend over a cup of coffee. I had known him for a few years and we had grown close over time.
We had been through a lot together and I always enjoyed catching up with him.
Told me that he broke up with his girlfriend because she was too immature, keep finding fault and creating problems
When I arrived at the coffee shop, I could tell something was wrong. My friend had a sombre look on his face and he seemed distant. He was usually the optimist in our group, so this was very unusual.
I asked him what was wrong and he told me he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
I was surprised because his girlfriend seemed so perfect for him. She seems mature, understanding and supportive.
They had been together for a few years and I had been expecting them to get married soon. I asked him what had happened and he told me that she was too immature for him.
He said that she was always finding fault with the smallest things and was always nagging him. She was always trying to control him and was not supportive of his dreams and ambitions.
He said that it was draining him emotionally and he had to make the decision to break up with her.
I felt so bad for him. He had told me how he was hoping to find someone who would be supportive of him and lift him up, not bring him down. I knew how important it was for him to have someone in his life who would be a source of love, strength, and support.
He told me that he felt he had done the right thing and that it was important for him to be with someone who was mature and understanding.
He also told me that it was important for all men to have a woman in their life who was supportive and understanding.
He also said that all men deserved to be with someone who could accept them for who they are and help them achieve their goals.
Of course he said that there is a need to be realistic in what we want also and not just pick on women who pick on us for the smallest things.
