A netizen shared how she refused to make dinner for her husband anymore after he took out his frustrations on her.
Here is the story:
I make dinner for my husband pretty much every night.
I recently took a break from working after having a baby. I stay home with her while my husband works.
He gets home usually around 8:30pm. If he’s running late or if the kids need to eat earlier (we have two others), I’ll put his dinner in a tupperware and refrigerate it.
Tonight he texted me while I was making dinner that he had some errands to run for his work and would be late.
I guess his errand took longer than expected. I had put his dinner on the counter, thinking he wouldn’t be super late. And went to the bedroom to feed the baby.
Well he stormed in the bedroom at 10:30pm where both me and the baby were sleeping and asked if I had left the chicken on the counter for two hours.
I didn’t know what time it was but said it should be fine. He told me he wasn’t eating food that had been sitting out for 2 hours, that this was a great way to end a 9 hour day, and then scraped it into the rubbish bin.
I told him he was being very mean to me and told him not to take his bad day out on me, and that if he was going to treat me this way, he could make his own dinner from now on.
He said he will, that he will pick it up on his way home… and that it will be warm.
SWIFT INTERVENTION BY STANDARD CHARTERED BANK AND ANTI-SCAM CENTRE PREVENTED MORE THAN $260,000 IN LOSSES IN A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL IMPERSONATION SCAM
On 5 December 2023, the Anti-Scam Centre (ASC) partnered and worked with Standard Chartered Bank to seize more than S$260,000 in a Government Official Impersonation Scam case.
In this case, a 79-year-old victim had received an unsolicited call from a first scammer who impersonated a bank officer in September 2023, alleging that the victim’s account had been frozen for investigation. The first scammer then transferred the victim to a second scammer who impersonated as a Singapore Police Force official. The second scammer then instructed the victim to report her whereabouts four times daily and not to divulge details about the investigation. In November 2023, under the instructions of the second scammer, the victim sold her Unit Trust investments held with Standard Chartered Bank, amounting to more than S$260,000, to transfer the monies to a third-party bank account provided by the scammer, purportedly to assist in investigations. The transaction was detected by a Standard Chartered Bank relationship manager, who noticed the victim’s unusual banking behaviour and outgoing transfers to a suspected mule’s bank account. He promptly escalated the case to the Standard Chartered Bank anti-fraud team, who reached out to ASC for intervention.
The ASC immediately worked with Standard Chartered Bank’s anti-fraud team to conduct fund flow tracing, which led to identifying and freezing of all the scammer-controlled accounts. This prevented the loss of over S$260,000. ASC officers also swiftly followed up with the victim to alert her of the deceptive scheme.
The ASC collaborates closely with the financial institutions and stakeholders to combat scams. To protect its customers from fraud and scams, among other measures taken, Standard Chartered Bank’s anti-fraud team regularly conducts training for frontline teams to step up vigilance in fraud detection and prevention measures. The rigorous emphasis on anti-scam training and the close collaboration with the ASC has led to the timely intervention.
Protect yourselves
The Police would like to alert members of the public to the variant of Government Official Impersonation Scam, where scammers would impersonate officers from government organisations and accuse victims of their involvement in criminal or money laundering activities overseas. The scam occurs in the following way:
Members of the public would receive unsolicited calls from a scammer, who would impersonate as a bank officer. The scammer would then allege that the victims have outstanding credit card charges on their cards that are linked to criminal or money laundering activities.
The scammer would then transfer the victim’s call to another scammer purporting to be a Government official. The second scammer would inform the victims that they were under investigation for criminal or money laundering activities. The communication between the second scammer and the victim may subsequently move to messaging applications such as WhatsApp and Telegram. The second scammer would then instruct the victims to do any of the following:
relinquish bank account details;
transfer money to a third-party bank account purportedly to assist in investigations;
report their whereabouts and told not to divulge details about the investigation.
Members of the public are advised to adopt the following precautionary measures:
ADD – ScamShield App and security features (e.g. enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), Multifactor Authentication for banks and set up transaction limits for internet banking transactions, including PayNow).
CHECK – For scam signs with official sources (e.g. ScamShield WhatsApp bot @ https://go.gov.sg/scamshield-bot, call the Anti-Scam Helpline on 1800-722-6688, or visit www.scamalert.sg). Never install software from unverified sources as they may be remote access software allowing others to observe what you do on your device or even take control of it. Additionally, you should never allow others to watch you enter your personal particulars or bank login details.
TELL – Authorities, family, and friends about scams and do not be pressured by the caller to act impulsively. Report the number to WhatsApp and Telegram to initiate in-app blocking and report any fraudulent transactions to your bank immediately.
If you have any information relating to such crimes or if you are in doubt, please call the Police Hotline at 1800-255-0000, or submit it online at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness. All information will be kept strictly confidential. If you require urgent Police assistance, please dial ‘999’.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE 08 December 2023 @ 6:10 PM
In a recent incident, a girl was caught engaging in an act known as “block shopping,” a term coined for the theft of residents’ shoes from outside their homes along HDB blocks. The incident was captured on CCTV, revealing the audacious act.
The footage shows the girl pretending to casually sit down on a bench located outside a resident’s home. Seemingly nonchalant, she glances left and right, checking for any potential onlookers.
Once she deems the coast clear, she swiftly removes her own footwear and proceeds to put on the resident’s slippers.
This brazen act of swapping her shoes for the resident’s slippers suggests a calculated approach to avoid suspicion.
The thief appears to be exploiting the trust and openness of the residential environment, where shoes are typically left outside homes.
The use of CCTV played a crucial role in exposing the “block shopping” incident, serving as a deterrent and providing evidence for authorities to take appropriate action.
Netizens’ comments
????? Arent those the exact 2 same pairs of slippers
Times are really bad
Even with camera pointing. Sometimes I wonder if they even know how a CCTV looks like or they’re just too stupid to even care and just wants to be caught.
I once had a pair of black havaianas. Went to a temple and placed my pair down and noticed another pair of the same there. Came out and i swear bro took mine. It felt different. Anyway yeah this girl thats just petty.
It’s looks better then mine so I’ll take it 😂
Potential penalties
The offence of theft under Section 379 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224 carries a jail term of up to 3 years, or a fine, or both.
The offence of theft in dwelling carries an imprisonment term which may extend to seven years and a fine.
My [29F] husband [32M] of 3 years said something I can’t move on from. We have a job that requires us to wake up very early in the morning. We’ve been working a cubicle away for the past couple of years. That’s how we met.
He usually wakes up before me and makes me breakfast. He’s been doing this since we got married.
He’s sweet and caring like that. He’s also the funniest, genuine and friendly person I know. I love him and know that he loves me back. Our relationship has always been stable.
Now I’m not sure.
Today morning while we were having breakfast, he calmly asked me to kill him if I ever caught him cheating. I initially brushed it off as a joke and replied likewise.
Then he said that he’d kill me if he found me cheating. And he would enjoy it.
I didn’t know how to react. I just got chills. He’s never been like this and I can’t imagine him saying things like this.
All day at work I’ve been thinking what I did wrong. Did he read my messages (none of us keep passwords) and find something off? Did he see me talking with someone inappropriately?

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we often trust the packaging claims of the products we purchase, assuming that what’s written is what’s inside. Recently, a woman had an eye-opening experience with Sadia Frozen Chicken Fillet that made me question this blind trust and opened a can of worms about product integrity.
Mother claims quantity lesser argues with daughter
It all started with a simple disagreement with the woman’s mother, who insisted that the quantity of Sadia Frozen Chicken had been reduced. Sceptical, the woman decided to investigate, thinking, “How could anyone dare to tamper with a product’s weight when it’s clearly stated on the package?”
Weighing the Frozen Chicken
Armed with a kitchen scale, the woman weighed the supposedly 1kg bag of Sadia Frozen Chicken Fillet. To his disbelief, the scale revealed a mere 827 grams. His mother’s suspicions were validated, and he found himself shocked at the blatant discrepancy.
The woman said:
“Sadia Frozen Chicken Fillet packaging states 1kg. My Mother kept telling us for a long time that they have reduced the quantity. I had an argument with her on how would anyone dare do that when its already stated on the package. Took the weight to prove her wrong and realised she was right.”
Here are what netizens think:
Your mum is really experienced. Sometimes we really have to trust them cos they have been buying groceries and cooking them for the longest time.
did you get it on the shop itself, ohmy. that’s cheating oh my gdness. thanks for sharing it often we just trusted on them my friend will need to lookout yeah.
It was obvious when I realised it was lighter than usual
If it’s seal package, that’s a theft. The company need some explanation to do.
so today I found out my BF still sees his ex from time to time and I don’t know how to feel about it.
He says it’s nothing and that he’s just trying to break up with her easily so he doesn’t hurt her which is a nice sentiment that I can appreciate.
But when he spends nights over at her place it kinda bothers me. I’ve had issues with jealousy previously so I’m sure it’s just me but it’s still annoying for me.
They were in a long relationship before me and him started dating so obviously I understand it can be hard to break up, but I just wish he would’ve told me that he was still breaking up with her when we started dating because then I probably wouldn’t even have started dating him in the first place.
She knows he’s dating me as well it’s just me who didn’t know they were still seeing each other.
I wonder if she knows that he’ll break up with her which also is something that bothers me, I’m feeling really bad for her and if I could contact her I think I would tell her what he was gonna do.
I’ve never personally broken up with someone over such a long period before, usually it’s a faster thing and a breakup has never really gone on for a year for me so I’m just curious whether this is usual.
Obviously I respect that he needs time and doesn’t want to hurt her but it would’ve been nice to know that they were seeing each other.
I have two biological daughters “Cara” and “Daisy” and a stepdaughter “Emma”
I married Emma’s dad when they were all in their early teens. I’m going to be honest, and I’m not trying to get slammed for being a bad mom, but Daisy was a bad child.
she threw temper tantrums well into adulthood, snuck out at night, talked back to teachers.
I did take her to multiple therapists, but it didn’t help.
Cara was a very easy child, and Emma didn’t get in trouble but can be very rude, selfish, and when she was older she slept with a boyfriend of Daisy’s (Emma’s dad refused to put her in therapy and claims she’s fine)
Emma and Cara are best friends. They do literally everything together. Daisy is not close to either of them.
I would also like to say Daisy has grown up to be a lovely young woman. She does still struggle with emotional regulation but she is 85% better.
Cara got married 4 years ago and Daisy was pretty jealous. Emma was the maid of honor and was not nice to Daisy.
Daisy ended up dropping out of the wedding the day of because she had been in the bathroom for a while (crying I think) and when she came out, Emma said if she did anything to mess up the wedding, she would push her into the cake.
Everyone laughed and Daisy left and turned her phone off for 3 weeks.
Daisy got a boyfriend about a year later and got even better with her emotional issues, and I’m very proud of her.
Daisy is now getting married, but is embarrassed because she only has one best friend and he had a lot of people to be groomsmen, so she asked Emma and Cara.
Emma declined because the dress didn’t match her hair. Cara said she didn’t want to do it without Emma.
This annoyed me because Cara literally doesn’t do anything without Emma. it borders on co-dependence.
I snapped at Cara that her hair matches everything, so she doesn’t have an excuse and it is pretty sad that she is more concerned with her step-sister than her real sister.
I told her I was disappointed. Daisy began tearing up and asking me to stop because I was embarrassing her.
Cara yelled back that I always prioritized Daisy’s issues and she feels Daisy was mean to her and she can’t move past it and hopes Daisy’s fiancé cheats (I found that awful because Daisy is so in love, I’ve never seen her like this)
Where we are right now is Cara is hardly talking to me, Daisy is saying if she was mean to Cara it was only because Emma was mean her, and Emma is saying if she bullied Daisy it was because she was being ill treated at her mom’s house and we weren’t helping her (unfortunately we didn’t know)
I hate how divided we are, and I hate that Cara thinks I love Daisy more and doesn’t want to talk to me because I lost my temper with her.
We (32m and 33f) were called the golden couple back in school And she is a legit 10 on any day while I am 8.5/9 on my best day.
We have been together for 7 years now married for 2. There has never been any whiff of infidelity in our relationship but after the birth of our daughter 5 months ago my wife has been really insecure about going out with me, saying that people will say I am with my mother.
She has been trying to lose her pregnancy weight but its hard with a 5 month old.
Now I am not a flirty person and the only one with whom I flirt with is my wife, but last night we were coming back after our post dinner walk and we met our neighbor in the lift.
She stuck up a conversation with us and it was literally about garbage collection in our apartment complex.
But when we came back home I noticed my wife was a little sad and I asked her why and she said that the neighbor couldnt keep her eyes off me.
I tried to tell her that was not the case but she just gave a sad smile.
It just breaks my heart, she is still the most beautiful woman in the world but she wont accept it.
Today morning when I was getting ready for work she was smiling at me so I asked why and she said she hoped I didnt run into any beautiful woman today so I told her that its too late because I am already looking at the most gorgeous of them all.
But seriously, please give me ideas on what else can I do to make her feel beautiful again? What can I say and do to show how desirable she is? Really appreciate some advise.
