47 Y.O S’PORE MAN KILLED AFTER BEING HIT BY M’SIA CAR @ JURONG, WAS PARTIALLY BLIND

A man was killed after being hit in a fatal car accident by a Malaysia-registered car along Jurong West on Tuesday earlier this week.

The accident took place on 21 March at about 9.20 am along Jurong West Street 65, and the deceased, 47-year-old Keow Chan Liang, was sent to the National University Hospital conscious before he succumbed to his injuries and died 2 days later on 23 March.

The driver of the white Toyota Vellfire is currently assisting the police with their investigations.

Speculation on accident

Following the virality of the video of the accident, social media users criticised the deceased for allegedly not paying attention to the traffic and assumed that he was likely to be on his phone at the time.

This is because in the video of the accident, the deceased didn’t appear to be aware that the Toyota Vellfire was approaching him at the time.

Other netizens deduced that the driver was using his phone instead when the accident happened, while some blamed the deceased for jaywalking.

Niece reveals he’s partially blind

Taking to the comments section, the deceased’s niece commented that her uncle was partially blind and relies on counting the number of steps needed to go to work.

She said (SIC): “halo everyone, he is my uncle ,is a semi-blind person who usually relies on the number of steps to go to work. Due to road construction, the road he usually walks is closed. He has no choice but to walk an unfamiliar road to work. No one thought that such a thing would happen. . Please be merciful”

Didn’t have his cane with him because of familiar route

Speaking to The Straits Times, the deceased’s 46-year-old wife, Kelly Wong, said that her husband was on his way to work and was heading towards a bus stop nearby at the time.

She said that Keow would sometimes carry a cane with him because of his poor eyesight whenever he was walking in unfamiliar places or at night, but on the day of the accident, he didn’t have his cane with him because he was familiar with the route that he was liking along.

She described him as being a hardworking husband and a filial son who wanted to provide for his family despite his partial loss of sight and was in good health working as a masseur at a massage parlour in Clementi.

Wong shared that after Keow was sent to the hospital following the accident, the doctors told her that he had suffered too much damage to his head and surgery wouldn’t help because the injury was too extensive.

She said that she was in disbelief and broke down immediately, and managed to visit him one last time before he succumbed to his injuries and passed away.

Keow leaves behind his wife, a 78-year-old mother and a 12-year-old daughter.

MAN GOT CHEATED BY A BALDY NAMED “DICKSON” NOW HE HATES ALL BALD GUYS

0

Never trust a effing baldy who says that he’s trustable (no offense to bald people).

But this A-grade a-hole really deserves a special shitmeal because he is simply full of shit. I mean, the guy literally has the alphabets DICK in his name.

Now for getting rid of snakes:

Snakes are a part of the world, and as such it is impossible to be completely rid of them unless you fortify yourself inside a solid bubble. The best you can do is keep your snake interactions at a minimum and keep any snakes as exposed as possible. Taking away the animal’s sense of security is part of the battle.

Next, how to trap snakes with a glue trap. Traps should be placed at vantage positions around the snake’s territory. Lure the snake inside through a specially designed opening. Once inside, the glue holds it firmly in place. What you do after is up to your own ethics. The downside is that you risk getting bitten.

So what would you do: avoid, expose or trap?

Here are what netizens think:

  • Bro just came back from BKK, smoked a bit too much eh?
  • You chop one head off, 2 heads come out, Oh that’s a hydra.
  • This must be Harry Potter talking about Voldemort.
  • Brother just stay away from these people, we focus on the positive and work on ourselves everyday. There is no point wasting any effort, and as they say, success is the best “revenge”. No point get affected by other people’s actions, it gets in the way of us increasing our own value to others 
  • To those born in the Year of the snake. I apologise on his behalf over such a condemnation.
  • The reason why I only get minor injuries and not major ones is that my approach to trusting people is very simple.
  • I start off neutral. And if I need to trust the person more, I proverbially “hand them the knife”, after which they can choose to stab me or not. This “knife” is not fatal, it is just a minor wound. The earlier they stab me, the less it hurts. You don’t need to worry or be angry if you have a proper method to test people. And if they fail the test and betray you early, you will have suffered nothing.

DEE KOSH RELEASED FROM PRISON, RETURNS TO INSTAGRAM & SAYS HE GOT “MUCH TO SAY”

0

Disgraced former YouTuber and DJ Dee Kosh who was sentenced to 32 weeks imprisonment last year for preying on little boys, has since been released from prison.

Sporting a new botak head, he took to Instagram via a new account and shared that he has a lot to say since his prison release.

He previously bade farewell to his followers on his old Instagram account, which has since been deleted, before going to jail.

He posted an Instagram reel video on Friday featuring multiple news reports and other YouTubers reacting to his conviction of preying on little boys, captioning it “finally home”.

At the end of the video, Kosh turned around with his new botak head and looks at the camera.

In one of his Instagram stories, he says that he is going to address the “elephant in the room”, asking “so covid no more already is it?”

He said that in jail, they still had to wear masks and he didn’t know that the rule has since been relaxed in the world of freedom.

He added in the next Instagram story that he has “so much to say”, presumably about the crimes that landed him in prison and his life in jail, who knows?

Recap

Former radio deejay, Darryl Ian Koshy, or Dee Kosh, pleaded guilty to three criminal charges last year and was sentenced to 32 weeks imprisonment on 5 August 2022.

The three victims were between the ages of 15 to 23 at the time of his offence.

The 33-year-old YouTuber pleaded guilty to offering cash to an underaged boy for explicit services, as well as the attempted exploitation of a young person.

He had offered between $400 to $2,000 for explicit acts with the victims after reaching out to them on social media.

None of the underaged boys accepted his offer, but he also secretly filmed a man who had accepted his offer of explicit activity.

Dee Kosh pleaded guilty to one charge of communicating with an underaged person to obtain explicit services, one charge of attempting to exploit a minor, and one charge of making an obscene video.

Four more similar charges will be taken into consideration for his sentencing on 28 July, including making an obscene video.

Dee Kosh will also be examined at the Institute of Mental Health after his lawyer obtained a psychiatrist report on whether Dee Kosh is a paedophile and what are the risks of him reoffending.

Fall from grace

Dee Kosh’s alleged offences first came to light after numerous people claimed on social media that he asked them for explicit pictures and favours.

He had allegedly tried to ask a 15-year-old boy if he could perform explicit acts on his in exchange for money between March and June 2018.

Separately, he is also being accused of offering up to $2,000 to two 17-year-old boys in July and August 2020 to perform explicit acts on him.

Dee Kosh was also charged with offering $2,000 to a 16-year-old boy in February 2017 to perform an explicit act on the boy.

He is also being charged for possession of obscene videos after 23 such materials were found in his home along Woodlands Street 31 on 5 October 2021.

He also purportedly made two videos titled “00001” and “00007” between 2016 and 2017, and the police said that some of the videos that Dee Kosh allegedly possessed showed him performing explicit acts with others.

The videos were allegedly taken without the knowledge of the other party.

The identities of the alleged victims cannot be revealed due to a gag order.

GIRL WANTS TO BREAK UP WITH BF CAUSE HE IS HOMOPHOBIC

0

Should I break up with my boyfriend because he homophobic?

I have a few closeted lgbtq+ friends and am also consider myself to an ally of the community. However, my boyfriend of two years isn’t and he thinks it’s unnatural. So much so that he sends me shorts with anti-Lgbtq rethoric. I feel really conflicted when he sends me things like that.

After talking with him to understand where he comes from, it just came down to that we have different viewpoints. I guess Im just seeking advice as to is it really worth sticking it out. I sort of rationalize it by telling myself that a lot of people in Sg are still pretty conservative.

I haven’t told any of my other friends about his viewpoints. And honestly apart from this, I am really happy with him. And it only comes up occasionally. I guess I’m really just seeking advice, as to is this really something that one breaks up over? Can it change in the future?

Here are what netizens think:

  • If there’s a chance, introduce him to a good queer friend of yours and hopefully his opinion will change. Based on exp, met a number of (mild) homophobes, including family members, who had no prior interaction with gay people. They slowly changed their opinion after interacting with us and realising that gay people isn’t what they thought we are.
  • Everyone is entitled to their belief system. But one thing u MUST DISCUSS – U shld discuss what happens if ur kids turn out to be lgbtq+ If that one cannot agree, then dont continue. It’s just a breakup waiting to happen.
  • Is this a life and death situation? LOL I find it stupid to even discuss breaking up over this. Are you converting to being a les? Are your friends trying to convert you? If not, what is the big issue? Just learn to respect each other viewpoints and friends….Very hard meh?
  • I was just thinking this. I am all for respecting each other’s viewpoints and friends but it hits closer to home if it is one of your children grappling with this issue. I am an advocate for couples to talk through ALL issues. So nothing is off the table and everyone knows each other’s positions and agree to disagree on specific issues. It’s only fair to both.

FRIEND WANTS ME TO LOAN HIM $8000 SO HE CAN BUY A ROLEX

0

I recently had a friend approach me asking if I could loan him $8,000 so he could buy a Rolex watch. I was a bit taken aback by the request, since I know for a fact that he doesn’t make a lot of money and I was unsure of how he planned to pay me back.

I told him that I needed some time to think about it, and he left it at that.

Since then, I have been giving this topic a lot of thought. On the one hand, I want to support my friend and I know that he has been wanting a Rolex for a while now. I also know that the watch is a symbol of status and that it would make him feel good about himself.

On the other hand, I am worried about how he would pay me back if he can’t afford it in the first place. I also don’t want to be taken advantage of, since I don’t want to be the one to pay for his watch.

After thinking it through, I decided to talk to my friend about it. I asked him how he planned to pay me back and he told me that he had some money saved up and he was hoping to use that.

I then asked him if he had considered other options, such as getting a loan from the bank. He said he had looked into it but the interest rates were too high and he didn’t want to be in debt for years.

I can understand where he is coming from and I know that he is a responsible person. I also don’t want to see him get into debt. After some more discussion, we came to the conclusion that I would loan him the money but he would have to come up with a plan to pay me back within a reasonable time frame.

I thought through the terms of the loan and I decided that I would give him one year to pay me back. If he was not able to pay me back within that time frame, then he would have to pay me back with interest as well. We also agreed that if he didn’t pay me back within the set time frame then I would take the Rolex back.

I know that I am taking a bit of a risk here, but I also know that my friend is a good person and he would never intentionally take advantage of me. I also know that he is going to be really happy when he gets his new Rolex and I am looking forward to seeing him wearing it.

At the end of the day, I decided to loan him the money and I am confident that he will pay me back. I know that it is important to be supportive of your friends and I believe that this is one way that I can do that. I also think that it is important to trust your friends and I am confident that my friend is going to do the right thing and pay me back in a timely manner.

MAN SAY HE DRIVE GRAB TO ESCAPE FROM WIFE AND BOSS, NO NEED REPORT TO ANYONE

0

It was a typical day at work, nothing out of the ordinary had happened. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the workload and was struggling to keep up with all the tasks that had been assigned to me.

When I got home, I was exhausted and just wanted to relax and unwind.

My wife, however, had other plans. She was in an uncharacteristically bad mood and began to pick fights with me about every little thing. I felt my patience wearing thin and the tension in the room growing thicker by the minute. I knew I needed to get away from the situation quickly or else things would only escalate.

That’s when I decided to take a drastic measure.

I jumped in my car and drove off to a nearby coffeeshop, I overheard some Grab drivers talking about their earnings and I ended up getting myself registered to drive Grab.

I knew that being a Grab driver would give me the freedom and flexibility I wanted. I wouldn’t have to report to anyone, and I could work when and where I wanted. I’d be my own boss, and I could finally escape from my wife’s nagging. She had been constantly telling me to find a better job, and I had reached the point where I just couldn’t take it anymore.

So I took the plunge and quit my job. I was a little scared at first, but I was also excited. I was finally taking charge of my life and taking control of my destiny. I registered with Grab, and within a few days, I was ready to hit the road.

At first, I didn’t know what to expect. I was a little nervous and unsure of myself, but I soon got the hang of it. I quickly realized that being a Grab driver was a lot easier than I thought. I was able to pick up passengers and drop them off quickly and efficiently. I also realized that I could make decent money as a Grab driver.

MAN SAYS ATAS RESTAURANT ALL TASTE LIKE GARBAGE, KOPITIAM THE BEST

0

I used to be a die-hard fan of Atas restaurants – the fancier ones, the ones with the white tablecloths, the five-star chefs, and the expensive menus. But recently, I’ve been having second thoughts.

I’ve been to a few Atas restaurants, and every single time, I’ve been disappointed. The food tastes like garbage. There’s no depth of flavor, no complexity in the dishes, and nothing really stands out. I always leave feeling like I’ve wasted my money.

On the other hand, I love Kopitiams. No matter what I order, it always tastes delicious. The dishes are full of flavor, the ingredients are fresh and vibrant, and the prices are so affordable. I’ve never been disappointed with a Kopitiam meal.

Atas restaurants don’t seem to care about the quality of their food. They’re more focused on their decor, their service, and their prestige. They’re not interested in creating great food, just in creating a great atmosphere.

Kopitiams, on the other hand, are all about food. They’re passionate about creating delicious dishes, and they put a lot of effort into sourcing the best ingredients and perfecting their recipes. They know that their food is what keeps customers coming back.

Atas restaurants also tend to be overpriced. They charge more for the same dishes that you can find in Kopitiams for much cheaper. Sure, the atmosphere is nice, but you’re paying a premium for it.

Kopitiams offer great value for money. You can get a satisfying meal for a fraction of the price of an Atas restaurant. And you’ll still get the same great quality. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared.

In my opinion, Kopitiams are the way to go. You get great food, great value, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Plus, you don’t have to worry about overpaying for mediocre food.

Atas restaurants can be nice, but they just don’t compare to Kopitiams. The food at Atas restaurants all tastes like garbage, while the food at Kopitiams is always delicious. I’m sticking with Kopitiams from now on.

MAN MAKING $3K A MONTH IS FORCED TO BUY A5 WAGYU BEEF FOR GF EVERY MONTH

0

I make a decent living for myself. Working as a software developer, I make around three thousand dollars a month. I’m not rich, but I’m comfortable and I’m able to save up for the things I want.

Recently, however, I’ve been in a bit of a financial pickle. My girlfriend has started asking me to buy her A5 Wagyu beef every month. It’s not that I don’t want to make her happy, but this beef is incredibly expensive! A5 Wagyu is the highest grade of beef, and it can cost up to $100 for a thin slice.

That means that I’m spending at least $300 a month just on beef!

I understand why she wants it. A5 Wagyu is incredibly tender and flavorful, with a unique marbling that sets it apart from other cuts of beef. It’s also incredibly difficult to find in Singapore, so it’s a rare treat for her.

But is it really worth it?

I’ve tried to talk to her about it, but she’s adamant. She says that she deserves to enjoy the best and that I should be more than happy to provide it for her. I get where she’s coming from, but it’s still a lot of money for me to be spending every month. I don’t want to be a miser, but I can’t afford to keep spending this much money on beef every month.

I’ve tried to compromise by suggesting that we buy a cheaper grade of beef, but she’s still not happy. She insists that she deserves the best and that nothing else will do. I’m at a loss, and I’m not sure what to do. I want to make her happy, but I don’t want to put myself in a financial bind.

So, I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. I want to make my girlfriend happy, but I also want to be financially responsible. I’m not sure how to reconcile these two competing desires, but I’m determined to find a way. I’m sure that there must be some middle ground that we can find, so that we can both be happy.

Until then, I’m stuck buying A5 Wagyu beef for my girlfriend every month. It’s expensive and I am thinking what I should do.

MAN FOUND OUT MULTIPLE FOREIGN MAN VISITS HIS GF, WORK PART-TIME “POK-POK GEI”

0

It all started when I saw her. I had known her since I was a kid, but ever since she started university, she had changed.

She had dyed her hair, dressed differently and started going out more. I wasn’t sure what she was up to, but I knew I had to find out.

I followed her for days, trying to figure out who she was meeting and why. That’s when I found out that she was seeing multiple foreign men. I didn’t know how long this had been going on, but I was furious. I felt betrayed and angry.

I confronted her about it and she just laughed it off. She said it was none of my business and that I should just mind my own. I told her that she was wrong, that I cared about her and that I wanted to know the truth.

Unfortunately, she refused to tell me. I told her that I wouldn’t stand for it, that I was going to get to the bottom of it. I was so angry and frustrated that I threw a tantrum. I started to yell and scream, telling her that I wouldn’t stand for her seeing multiple foreign men.

She just stood there, not saying a word. I knew that she was scared, but I didn’t care. I was too angry to think straight and I just wanted answers. Eventually, I calmed down and she explained what was going on.

She told me that she had been seeing multiple foreign men because she was trying to find a way out of her current situation.

She had been struggling financially and she thought that if she could find a wealthy man to marry, she’d be able to make her life better.

I was still angry, but I could see why she had done it. She had been desperate and it was the only option she had. I told her that I would help her in any way I could, but that I would never accept her seeing multiple foreign men.

So my childhood sweetheart became a chicken, its time to move on.
