SELF-ENTITLED PARENT DROVE SON TO SCHOOL, WANTS TEACHER TO OPEN DOOR FOR HIM

SELF-ENTITLED PARENT DROVE SON TO SCHOOL, WANTS TEACHER TO OPEN DOOR FOR HIM

A few netizens shared some of the horror stories that they faced as teachers when dealing with unruly and self-entitled parents.

The self-entitled one

My friend is a teacher at an atas kindergarten. Because of covid she now stands outside to take the kids temperature before going in.

There’s this woman that drops off her son in a bmw. But won’t come out and open the car door for him. Neither will she let him open it himself.

Because she wants my friend – the teacher, to do it. My friend refused to, and the woman legit sat in her car for 10 minutes until she couldn’t take it anymore. She came out and scolded my friend and complained to the kindergarten. They told her the teachers are not chauffeurs lol

The no-boundaries one

Was a contract teacher in 2012 in a primary school. I’m so glad I did not go into NIE. Anyway it’s a good thing I didn’t because I couldn’t see myself being a teacher.

One parent called my personal number at night asking whether her son needed to bring the textbook the next day. She didn’t want him to carry a heavy bag. I asked how she got hold of my personal number and please don’t call me at night except for emergencies. She proceeded to tell me as a teacher it’s my job to care for the students and especially so for her son because he’s mildly autistic. He deserves more attention than the other students.

This parent was also one annoying one that requests the school hold monthly meetings with the teachers who taught her son for updates on his progress.

The on-the-dot one

I’m working at a Student Care centre in primary schools now. Some self-entitled parents expect their kid to be punctual on the dot (dismissal 3:30pm means to their hands at 3:30pm)

Some text at 3:27pm where the centre phone will be boomed with messages. So they expect their child to fly down within 3 minutes to the gate.

What they don’t know is, when they send the msg, we forward the msg to the class teacher, then the class teacher will send them down.

Sometimes, the class teacher is preoccupied with something, imagine taking a class. If they wan their child to come on the dot, then message early lah pls.

Some parents also cannot wait, 3minutes pass the dismissal timing shouting at us, “why i message already still not OUT YET!!!!!!!”

Omg parents can come late but expect us to get the kid ready on time

WOMAN LOST HER LIFE SAVINGS OF $80K TO SCAMMER, LEFT 24 CENTS & NO MONEY TO EAT

In a heartbreaking turn of events, a woman’s attempt to recycle her old clothes online ended in disaster, with scammers making off with her life savings exceeding $80,000, leaving her with just a meagre 24 cents left, according to 8World News. This cautionary tale serves as a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in the digital world.

The Deceptive Advertisement

Chen Hongcai, a 38-year-old woman pursuing her master’s degree, stumbled upon a seemingly innocent Facebook ad. The advertisement, from a purported recycling company, promised to buy old clothes for restoration purposes. Little did she know, this would be the start of her financial nightmare.

Intrigued by the prospect of recycling her pre-loved items, Chen contacted the company. An ‘administrator’ promptly provided collection details, offering a link for her to select a convenient time slot for the pickup.

The Realization: A Web of Deceit Unveiled

Chen described the company’s website as realistic with no apparent red flags. However, her confidence shattered when she discovered that the company was involved in selling miscellaneous items, not just recycling clothes.

Reflecting on the incident, Chen expressed surprise at the absence of a physical address for the company. She admitted that, at the time, she overlooked this crucial detail and focused only on the convenience of having her old clothes collected from her home.

The Unraveling Nightmare

On November 7, a day after scheduling the collection, Chen received a shocking call from her bank. A DBS bank account had been opened in her name, and her life savings of over $80,000 were drained from this new account.

In disbelief, Chen recounted the elaborate scheme. The scammers had not only infiltrated her bank account but had also manipulated her phone to disable notifications during the large sum transfer. The trap was set, and she fell right into it.

A Desperate Plea for Help

Devastated and seeking assistance, Chen visited a POSB branch. To her dismay, the bank manager attributed the incident to her “carelessness” and offered little hope of recovering the substantial sum. In an unexpected gesture, the bank credited a mere $500 to her account.

While acknowledging her own lapse in judgment, Chen criticized the bank’s lax security measures. She questioned how scammers effortlessly used her identity to open an account and transfer funds without proper verification or notifications.

The Aftermath: A Student in Crisis

Chen, who had diligently saved for her master’s program, now faces an uncertain future. Having recently quit her job to focus on studies, the loss of her life savings leaves her in a state of helplessness. Her financial stability shattered, she contemplates borrowing from family to sustain her living expenses.

Expressing her anguish, Chen revealed having a mere 24 cents left in her account. The scam not only stripped her of her savings but also left her struggling to afford basic necessities, including meals during school days.

With a police report filed, Chen remains determined to explore alternative means to fund her education, emphasizing the need for greater security measures to prevent such scams.

GF INSIST THAT WEDDING RING MUST BE MORE THAN 1 MONTH OF BF’S SALARY

GF INSIST THAT WEDDING RING MUST BE MORE THAN 1 MONTH OF BF’S SALARY

In a world where people like to show off, people often spend more than they can afford in buying luxury items just because it is expensive and helps boost their ego.

But deep down they are just shallow people and manipulated by marketing and advertisements.

A man recently shared how his girlfriend demanded a wedding ring from him based on the price of the ring and not based on design or other reasons.

Here is what he said:

My girlfriend insists that her future wedding ring should cost at least 1 month of my salary (3k and above). I personally don’t think it’s worth to spend so much on a diamond ring. Would love to hear your opinions.

Hmm i’ve not thought about it that way, cutting the marriage budget for the ring. I have tried telling her how the money can be put to better use but she still wants 1 month salary worth.

Here are what netizens think:

  • on one hand you would want the ring to last a long time, on the other hand, no i don’t think setting a minimum price for how much your wedding ring should cost should be a hill to die on
  • We got cheapo rings back then. This year we are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and she has been my pillar of strength when the going gets tough.
  • Get married when you’re unemployed so your monthly salary at that time is $0. 5head
  • I think it’s definitely reasonable to suggest lab grown diamonds. There is no practical difference (besides the price) for the most part and most people won’t be able to tell them apart. Using value as a reason for your worth is nonsensical to me, you should already know your worth from day to day interactions with your partner. And, there are better things you can do with that money to feel your ‘worth’. And wanting a natural diamond ring essentially only benefits the corporations that have been marketing it for years, i think it’s nice to have a conversation diving deeper into it

M’SIAN SAY EARNING MONEY IN MALAYSIA IS TOO SLOW, SG EARN MORE

M’SIAN SAY EARNING MONEY IN MALAYSIA IS TOO SLOW, SG EARN MORE

At present, more and more young Malaysians choose to work hard in Singapore, thinking that they can earn more here. Is this really the case?

Recently, a female netizen asked on a social account, “Can Singapore really make a lot of money in a short period of time? Is it too late for me to go at the age of 29?” The news immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens.

3 Times More

She said, “I feel that it is very slow to make money in Malaysia. Many friends have gone to the other side. They can earn RM9350-RM15580 a month. I am so envious…”

“Although every time they come back, they say that the work there is very tiring, but they came back after a few years of work and bought a house, a car, and various luxuries… Now I also want to go to Singapore to work. I am 29 years old, is it too late? ?”

After the post was published, many netizens commented, and their opinions can be divided into positive and negative.

Positive netizens said:

“Working in Singapore is an important way out for young Malaysians. Although the pressure is relatively high, they can indeed make a lot of money in a short period of time.”

“Although the pressure is relatively high, it can make you better. 29 is not too late. I only came after graduation. As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded!”

Netizens with negative views said:

“Singapore is not as good as you think. When you come, you will know that every day is very hard and living expenses are high. If you don’t have technical skills, let alone making money to buy a house, life is a problem!”

“Singapore’s work is so stressful and overwhelming, I repeat the same life every day.”

Some netizens said in surprise, “How does one with a 3-5k salary buy cars and luxury goods?”

What suits you is the best

Of course, some netizens hold a neutral attitude towards this, saying that no matter where they are, as long as they work hard, they can achieve their goals.

At the same time, someone warned the netizen, “Don’t let your thoughts be controlled by others, it’s best to find what suits you!”

GIRL HAD TO CHOOSE A MORE “LUCRATIVE” DEGREE TO HELP FAMILY’S FINANCES

GIRL HAD TO CHOOSE A MORE “LUCRATIVE” DEGREE TO HELP FAMILY’S FINANCES

I grew up in a pretty big family as well, there are 5 of us, and my family was living at bare minimum too. I got along well with my siblings, there was lots of laughter and funny moments. But we couldn’t afford some of the opportunities that we wanted. I rmb the insensible primary sch me asking my parents to let me go for piano or ballet lessons after seeing my friends performing, but was told that we cannot afford. Even for my sports CCA, I had to pull out cos of the fees incurred, and switched to a club that won’t incur fees.

Moving to sec school, I couldn’t join my friends to eat outside school cos fast food was considered expensive. My friends would go for occasional movie trips, but I did not join any cos it was expensive, plus as the eldest, I have to go home to take care of my younger siblings. I had difficulty integrating into my circle of friends since I can’t hang out.

I started doing part-time after JC and all the way through uni, in order to fund my own expenses in school. I was asked to forgo a major of my choice and opt for a more lucrative one as I am expected to help out with family finances when I start working.  In order to juggle work and studies, I couldn’t actively participate in CCAs. While others form friendships and networks in uni, I was pretty much isolated.

Having started work for a couple of years, my savings have been limited since I took over the allowance and expenses for my youngest sibling in poly, plus some other bills. My boyfriend and I has been dragging our BTO plans in order for me to build my savings.

I love my family and I know my parents tried their best to care of us. I feel very very bad for thinking this way, but I always thought about the missed opportunities and social life due to financial constraints. While I grew up with useful house-chores and babysitting skills, I would hope to have picked up some other skills ie sports, music during my childhood. I mean, who will want to spend their childhood doing chores and babysitting.

I’ll probably get bashed for this. People would say I should be contented and there are people out there who are worse off. Yes definitely, I don’t deny. I’m not saying that the children in the report will feel the same way as me; they might grow up feeling that their childhood was perfect for them. But I feel that there should be a balance between wanting alot of children for a merrier family vs being able to afford a childhood that your children want. After all, childhood is very short-lived and we won’t get to live through it again.

Just a rant.

GUY TIRED OF BEING A MAN, WISHED HE WAS A GIRL – MUM TELLS HIM TO MAN UP

GUY TIRED OF BEING A MAN, WISHED HE WAS A GIRL – MUM TELLS HIM TO MAN UP

I’m tired of being a “man”. As the oldest male in a traditional Chinese family you might think I have it easy or as the saying goes “重男轻女”. Which means boys are favoured over girls. I feel this isn’t the case at all and it feels like the other way around.

I’m tasked to do so many things which includes but not limited to: taking care of certain household expenses, occasionally being a chauffeur for my family such as bringing grandparents to polyclinic etc, do basic household chores, buy/cook food, deal with “manly stuff” like fixing sinks, computers, cabinets whatsoever, pay for my own stuff including tuition fees and personal expenses.

All these feels really suffocating and sometimes I wished I was born as a girl. My sister gets her tuition fees paid by our parents, she doesn’t do basic chores (heck she doesn’t even know how to change her bedsheets), but gets all the attention from guys and her boyfriend. Yes, she looks like a decent girl that might make some heads turn. Even had guys coming up to our house and giving things like cakes to her etc. She goes out every other day to meet her friends. Meanwhile, I’m just here trying to survive financially and try my best for this family.

I’m not sure what do I even like at this point in time, the past few years or so was a real blur to me. Even felt like I should have signed on to avoid all these issues. At least in the army, I had friends who cared about me even though we were suffering. Uni isn’t forgiving as well, I’m struggling to stay afloat in my course (it’s a competitive one)

Mom tells me to man up. Dad doesn’t do much and is focused on work and his friends, drinking etc. He basically just listens to my mom. I never felt so unloved and uncared for at this stage of life. I didn’t even know how it happened. It’s like adulthood just slapping me right in the face. I feel like I’m just another statistic/investment plan to my family.

Don’t get more wrong, I love my family and I want the best for them. But what about me? Does no one care about my feelings? Anyone in the same boat as me? Or faced similar issues?  I’m really tired of being the go-to man in the family.

LAO HERO SEEN IN VIRAL VIDEO HACKING PYTHON TO DEATH @ BOON LAY, KENA SAMAN $1K

A man recently faced repercussions for his actions towards a python, resulting in a S$1,000 fine imposed by NParks. The incident, captured in a viral video that circulated in April, depicted the man using a cleaver to end the snake’s life after hitting it multiple times with buckets at Boon Lay Place Market, according to Channel NewsAsia.

The widely circulated video sparked public outrage, with viewers expressing shock and concern over the man’s actions. The incident prompted a swift response from NParks, drawing attention to the need for addressing such cases promptly.

Investigated

Following the public uproar, NParks launched an investigation into the incident. The outcome confirmed the man’s actions, leading to the imposition of a S$1,000 composition fine. NParks’ group director for wildlife management, Ryan Lee, affirmed the decision and highlighted the legal consequences of such actions.

In response to the incident, NParks has urged the public to report any similar situations to their Animal Response Centre. This emphasizes the importance of public participation in preserving wildlife and ensuring the proper handling of encounters with animals.

Contrary to public condemnation, the man involved asserted that his actions were driven by compassion. He claimed that the snake was in distress and pain, leading him to make the difficult decision to end its suffering by using a cleaver, according to 8World News.

Despite the man’s justification, NParks maintained a firm stance, emphasizing the legal consequences of taking matters into one’s own hands. The imposed fine serves as a deterrent and highlights the importance of adhering to established protocols when encountering wildlife.

Recap on the incident

In the video, the man was seen picking up a python that had wrapped itself around his ankle, unravelling the snake before hitting its head with a bucket.

The people who was watching and filming the incident could also be heard laughing at the scene and throwing more things at the snake.

The man who picked up the snake, was seen in another video being bitten by the snake on his forearm before trying to pick it up again, this time holding the snake by its head and bringing the reptile into the market.

He then used a chopper to hack at the snake’s head, killing it.

ACRES’ statement on Facebook

APPEAL FOR EYE WITNESS: GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING

On 18th April 2023, 11:25pm, ACRES hotline received this screen recorded video from a concerned member of public from a story that is no longer available – the video shows a man and five others violently hitting a protected species Reticulated python, using crates at the bicycle stand of Boon Lay Place market.

They later bring the python to notice board area beside a food stall and use a cleaver to chop the snake’s head until they confirm that the poor snake is dead.

Our investigations and interviews at 7am onsite today (19 April 2023) indicate that there are police cameras and some recollected a snake sighting at 1:30am 18 April 2023 (Tue) .

ACRES is shocked and disturbed by the celebratory tone and all the cheering in inflicting suffering and death to a voiceless protected native species, with no indication of calling someone for help (NParks or ACRES).

ACRES has submitted all the relevant information to NParks, who is now investigating this further.

It is alarming that despite many educational efforts, violence towards the voiceless still lurks in our society.

Such incidents involving killing/hurting snakes have been happening repeatedly, and we hope that this case will result in prosecuting the individuals involved, serving a severe deterrence for the future of our animals in the community – whether a cute cuddly animal or a scaly reptile that many of us may be fearful of.

If you know of any individual in this video or have witnessed this act, please reach out to us at our 24-hour hotline 97837782 or email [email protected] by whatsapp/email/call. All information will be kept confidential.

M’SIAN MAN TURNS DOWN NURSE WHO WANTS HIM “MY RM8K SALARY IS TOO LOW”

M’SIAN MAN TURNS DOWN NURSE WHO WANTS HIM “MY RM8K SALARY IS TOO LOW”

A Malaysian man submitted an anonymous post to share his recent story of being pursued by a girl.

The man mentioned in the article that the other person was a friend of his colleague, very beautiful, elegant, and 8 years younger than him. However, the man ultimately rejected her. Just because the other party is a nurse, and the man is just a salaryman with an “ordinary” salary.

My monthly income is RM8,000, so I turned her down.

The man said that his salary was only RM8,000 and he was worried that he could not give her happiness. He also felt that she should be able to find a better boy.

She even revealed that his previous relationship couldn’t go on because of the salary issue, so the man felt that no matter how good he was with her, it would be fine, but he didn’t deserve her, so he chose to reject her.

Giving up on oneself after being rejected

But unexpectedly, after the woman was rejected by him, she started drinking excessively, giving up on herself, and even stopped going to work.

The man felt deeply guilty. After making an appointment to talk, he found that the woman still wanted them to be together and said she didn’t mind that the man’s salary was only RM8,000. After hearing this, the man rejected her again; the other party added that he didn’t mind a poor boy like him.

Finally, the man couldn’t help but ask netizens: “Should I accept this girl’s pursuit?”

Original text:

最近有一位女生向我表白，她是我公司一位同事的朋友。她非常漂亮，气质优雅，年龄比我小8岁。然而，我最终拒绝了她。原因在于，她是一名护士，而我只是一个薪水普通的工薪族。我担心自己无法给她幸福，觉得她应该找到更好的男生。我的月薪只有8,000元，而且我之前的感情也因为薪水问题而分手，因此我觉得自己不配她。虽然我对她有好感，但无奈之下还是选择了拒绝。不久后，我的女同事告诉我，这位女护士因为被我拒绝而陷入自暴自弃，开始过度饮酒，甚至不去上班。听到这些，我感到非常愧疚，于是约她出来谈了一次。

她表达了希望我们在一起的愿望，表示不介意我的薪水只有8,000元，她愿意和我在一起。我仍然认为她应该找到一个更好的男生，比如富二代，而不是像我这样的穷小子。然而，她坚持认为薪水并不重要，她愿意和我共度未来。我想请教大家的意见，我应该接受这位女生的追求吗？

UNLICENSED “BEAUTICIAN” USED ALIBABA PRODUCTS TO DO FACIAL INJECTIONS ON CLIENTS, JAILED

In a shocking revelation, Siti Palilah Ismail, a 52-year-old Singaporean beautician, recently faced legal repercussions for providing invasive facial aesthetic procedures without a valid medical practitioner’s license, according to TODAY.

Overview of the Case

Siti Palilah Ismail, operating as a self-employed beautician, conducted invasive facial aesthetic procedures for approximately two years, serving around 300 clients. Her actions came to an abrupt halt when she was sentenced to eight weeks in jail for four counts of practicing without a valid certificate.

Procuring equipment and products from the e-commerce giant Alibaba, Siti Palilah offered procedures ranging from skin-whitening jabs to placenta injections. The consequences of her actions became apparent as she faced charges and legal proceedings.

Background

In 2019, Siti Palilah underwent a three-month aesthetic course, gaining knowledge in providing invasive facial procedures. This laid the foundation for her subsequent illegal activities.

Sometime in 2020, Siti Palilah decided to venture into the beauty industry as a self-employed professional, setting the stage for her unlicensed practices.

To execute her aesthetic procedures, Siti Palilah rented a small salon space where she conducted her operations.

Utilizing social media, particularly Instagram, she promoted her services, attracting unsuspecting clients who would soon become the victims of her unlicensed procedures.

Unlawful Procedures

Timeline of Invasive Procedures

From November 2020 to November 2022, Siti Palilah performed various invasive aesthetic procedures, exposing clients to significant health risks.

Specific Procedures Performed

  1. Skin-Whitening Jabs
  2. Placenta Injections
  3. Filler Injections
  4. Botox Jabs
  5. Thread Lift Injections

Legal consequences

Siti Palilah faced four charges related to performing invasive procedures without a valid license. Her guilty plea resulted in an eight-week jail sentence.

In addition to the jail term, the court considered seven similar charges during the sentencing process.

The gravity of the case was underscored by the consideration of additional charges, highlighting the severity of Siti Palilah’s actions.

Investigative Process

The Ministry of Health (MOH) played a crucial role in investigating and exposing Siti Palilah’s illegal activities.

Andre Tan, the prosecutor from MOH, provided insights into the case, emphasizing the dangers posed by unlicensed practitioners in the beauty industry.

Customers, unaware of Siti Palilah’s lack of proper credentials, underwent various invasive procedures, risking their health.

Siti’s modus operandi involved instructing clients to lie down, cleansing their faces, applying numbing cream, and then administering the beauty products.

Each session ranged from S$200 to S$800, lasting approximately half an hour.

Health Risks

An expert report highlighted the potential risks, including allergies, infections, haematoma, and swelling, associated with the unlicensed procedures.

The report emphasized the serious health implications of Siti Palilah’s actions, underscoring the need for proper licensing in the beauty industry.
