52 Y.O MAN BROKE INTO TEMPLE @ BEDOK TO STEAL MONEY & DONATION BOX, ARRESTED

0

A case of housebreaking and theft took place on 12 July and occurred at the Seu Teck Sean Tong Yiang Sin Sia, a temple situated along Bedok North Ave 3 in Singapore and a 52-year-old man was arrested by the Singapore Police Force, according to a police statement.

The incident came to light when the temple caretaker, Mr. Yu, arrived at the temple on Wednesday morning at approximately 7:00 am. To his dismay, he discovered that a 200kg safe box, meant to serve as an offerings box, was missing from its spot outside a temporary tent, according to Shin Min Daily News.

This tent, housing thousands of spirit tablets, was set up during a recent expansion and renovation project undertaken by the temple in June 2023.

In addition to the missing safe box, Mr. Yu noticed that one of the offering boxes on the left side of the temple had its lock picked, and the money inside had been stolen.

Furthermore, a damaged trolley was found at the scene, presumably broken while the culprit transported the safe box away from the temple grounds.

While it was difficult to ascertain the exact amount of money stolen, given that the temple had not yet tallied the total offerings for two weeks due to the non-peak season, Mr. Yu estimated the loss to be between S$3,000 and S$5,000.

Police Response

The Singapore Police Force was promptly alerted to the case of housebreaking at around 7:20 am on the same day. Officers from the Bedok Police Division, using images obtained from CCTV cameras and police surveillance, launched ground enquiries to identify the suspect.

Following the man’s apprehension, the donation safe box, the trolley, and cash amounting to approximately S$90 were successfully recovered.

The suspect faced charges related to housebreaking and theft, offenses that carry severe penalties under Singaporean law.

If found guilty, he could face up to 10 years of imprisonment, a significant fine, and caning as part of his punishment.

Temple

The Seu Teck Sean Tong Yiang Sin Sia is a revered temple with deep historical and cultural significance in the community it serves.

The temple’s recent expansion and renovation project aimed to provide enhanced facilities for its growing number of devotees.

WOMAN ATE AT MOOKATA AND LEFT WITHOUT PAYING, FLED WHILE STAFF NOT LOOKING

0

On a seemingly regular day in Bugis, a restaurant encountered an unexpected incident. A diner enjoyed a buffet meal at Mr Mookata and left without paying for her S$35 bill, fleeing the premises while the staff was not looking, according to Shin Min Daily News.

Dine and dash

A middle-aged Chinese woman arrived at Mr Mookata alone at around 5 pm. She blended in with the other diners and showed no signs of any financial constraints.

The diner spent a leisurely two hours savoring her meal at the restaurant. During this time, the staff was occupied with attending to other customers, and they didn’t take any special notice of the woman.

At 7 pm, the store manager realized that the diner had already left the restaurant without settling her bill. Reviewing the CCTV footage, it was evident that she had quietly left with her belongings while the staff were too busy to pay attention.

Upon discovering the incident, the store manager decided not to make a police report and chose not to pursue the matter further. Instead, he saw it as an opportunity to remind fellow F&B owners of the risks associated with their line of work.

The manager acknowledged that such incidents, though undesirable, occasionally happen in the F&B industry. He already accounts for such losses in his business operations and prefers not to investigate further, opting to share the experience publicly instead.

Despite having her image captured on the restaurant’s surveillance cameras, the manager refrains from revealing the woman’s identity to protect her from potential harassment online.

Sadly, this was not the first time such an incident occurred since the restaurant’s opening two years ago. Several other diners have also left without paying their bills, including both individual diners and groups.

While the restaurant has faced multiple dine-and-dash situations, the most significant financial loss amounted to more than S$100 when a group of customers walked out without paying, having also ordered alcohol.

The incident at Mr Mookata sheds light on the challenges and realities that F&B owners face regularly. Dealing with dine-and-dash cases is an unfortunate part of the industry, but it highlights the need for vigilance and caution.

CUSTOMER PAID $100 FOR $9.60 TAXI RIDE, THANKS DRIVER FOR PLAYING OLD SONGS

On a regular day, a ComfortDelGro taxi driver in Singapore, Ann Wong had the pleasure of driving an elderly Indonesian Chinese couple on July 12. In an attempt to create a pleasant atmosphere, Wong decided to play some classic Chinese tunes during the ride.

Among the songs that he played in the taxi were classic hits like “My Choice” by George Lam and Sally Yeh (選擇), “As Long As You’re Better Off” by Kenny Bee (只要你过得比我好), “Cut My Heart” by Jacky Cheung (心如刀割), “Goodbye Kiss” by Jacky Cheung (吻別).

To Wong’s delight, the elderly couple appreciated the nostalgic playlist and started to engage in conversation about the songs. They even sang along to some of the tunes together, reminiscing about the good old days when these songs were popular.

As the ride came to an end, the wife handed the taxi driver a S$100 note for her taxi fare, which amounted to about $9.60.

However, Wong politely expressed his concern about not having change for such a large denomination. He asked if they had a S$10 note instead, trying to ensure he could provide the correct change.

In response, the wife insisted that the S$100 note was intended as a gift for Wong. She thanked him for playing “the wonderful songs” and explained that the music had brought back cherished memories from their youth.

The heartwarming encounter between the ComfortDelGro taxi driver and the elderly couple exemplifies the power of music to create connections and bring joy to people’s lives. Beyond just a ride, it became a shared experience that touched the hearts of all involved.

Wong’s Facebook post

Another incident where music captures the heart of people kindness.

Fetch an elderly Indonesia Chinese couple, along the way I played the following Chinese songs:
只要你過得比我好
選擇
心如刀割 and
吻別

Beside talking about the songs, we sing along.

The trip cost $9.60. The wife passed me a $100.00 note.

Me: Auntie, this is a $100.00 note. I have no changes, do you have a $10.00?

Auntie: yes, I know, the $100.00 is for you.

Me: Thank you so much.

Auntie: Thank you for playing the wonderful songs. It bring back our memories when we are young.

Me: thank you again.

GIRL’S HOMOPHOBIC AUNT FOUND OUT ABOUT HER RELATIONSHIP FROM TIKTOK

0

A girl shared a story of how her partner’s aunt was going through Tiktok one day and found her account which then led to the discovery that her partner and her are same gender partners.

The aunt then told her sister which is the girl’s partner’s mother who then decided to lecture them not to be so open on social media about their relationship as tongues might wag and there are people who are still not open enough for this.

After the big hoo-haa, the girl then decided that she could not care less and blocked her partner’s mum on social media which made the mother feel guilty.

Here is the story

“My girlfriend and I, we’re a same gender couple.

We live together, away from our families ever since we both went to start work in the society.

my gf’s aunt (while visiting my gf’s mom) was going through tik tok and found my account. most of my videos were about our relationship, purely normal stuff with nothing dirty.

She obviously found out we were together and went to tell her mom about it. her mom calls my gf to tell her that she found my videos and started talking about how i should be “careful” because a lot of people are homophobic.

she also explained that it was dangerous for me to post about it because of other family members who might find out as well.

none of this was said to my face so i’ve been mad since. i private every single video, even videos that had nothing to do with my relationship at all just in case she wanted to talk more rubbish. her mom then felt bad because she couldn’t stalk me anymore. i also private all my social media accounts just in case she decided to be nosy in other ways.

my gf isn’t mad at me about the whole situation which i’m very grateful about, but I’M upset because even though it’s OUR relationship her parents want to control every aspect of it.

at the end of the day, it was a good thing to private anything because although it’s my account, i wouldn’t want to cause problems between my gf and her family.”

ATTACHED GIRL STILL DESIRES TO FIND MARRIED EX-BF

0

I’m 31 this year. I was 15, he was 16 back then. I was in Express first class, he was in Normal A. We knew each other through some schoolmates. I was into singing and dancing, he was into sports and cycling, he was an outdoor person). He woo me for a while and I started dating him. Though academically he’s not very good with his studies, he’s a very nice partner. He treats me well, and he’s understanding. He showered me with love and care, accompany & send me back home on

CCA days so that we can spend some time together, Even though it was just the journey back to home from school, I felt that it was sincere. Back in the day, though he was only 16, but he had a much matured thinking than peers of his age group. He took up part time job at fast food restaurant on weekends to earn some extra allowance and to learn some skills.

When we dated, my friends and classmate would question me. Hey, why did you date him? Don’t you think that you and him belong to different status in life? That was because when he was courting me, there was actually another guy from Express stream of his level was also courting me. But end up I chose the latter. And because of these negative questioning from my surrounding, I started to feel that he wasn’t right for me.

We were in the relationship for not very long before it ended. But during the times when we were together, I really enjoyed my time with him everytime we went out on simple dates. I still vividly remember the very first time i slept in his arms was in a school camp.

Yes! Indeed it was during a school camp. This was one of the sweetest memories We had together.

Ok, fast forward to today. 16 years since we dated. He’s happily married with 2 lovely kids, and for myself, I’ve been through a few failed relationships and I’m currently attached. But whenever I scroll on Facebook and happen to see him on the newsfeed, I can’t help it but I do fondly misses him. I know ethically is not right, he’s married and I’m attached, but I just can’t control the emotions at the back of my mind of missing him.

2 months ago, my family and I were out on a family outing to sea Aquarium. I happen to saw him and his family at the Aquarium too. but I did not approach him to show my presence. I just observed him from afar, and dreaming that why the one with him wasn’t me instead.

It has been 16 years, but I have yet to move on from him, even though I’ve been through a few relationships. One day I hope I’ll have the courage to delete him away from my life, and never to think of him ever again.

I do actually wish that if fate permits, I would wish that he could be my boyfriend for 3 days, just for 3 days. And I hope that I can capture as many happy memories with him as possible within this 3 days.

STEPMOTHER FEELS JEALOUS OF CHILD AND STARTS MAKING PROBLEM

0

I’m 14 and I live with my dad and stepmom. My mom passed when I was 5, and my dad and stepmom got together when I was 9, and they got me to move in with my grandma. 2 years ago my grandma had a stroke, and she had to go to a nursing home so I moved in with my dad and stepmom.

Ever since my dad and stepmom got together I couldn’t spend time with just my dad, my stepmom had to come too. I always got the vibe she didn’t really like me so I had no idea why she always wanted to hang out with me. It made hanging out with my dad really awkward.

When I moved back in with them it got worse cos every time we were having a conversation she’d come in like “what are we talking about?” and just join in the conversation even if it had nothing to do with her. If she could she would stand or sit in between us too.

I mentioned it to my dad a couple times and he said he never noticed and he doesn’t think it’s true that it’s every time, he was like “it’s her house too, she can hang out with us if she wants.” I don’t think it was getting through to him that it was every time and it was weirding me out.

So next time she did it I was like “hey why do you always come in and join every conversation I have with my dad and stand between us?” and she laughed and said “oh I’m just a bit of a jealous person” and when I asked what she meant she was like “I get jealous when my husband spends time with other girls.”

I told her that was really weird and I’m not another girl, I’m his daughter. My dad and stepmom keep insisting it was a joke but it really creeped me out and I can’t help but take it seriously. I asked her to stop butting into our conversations and she was like “oh so I need your permission to talk to my own husband in my own home?” which is definitely not what I was saying at all.

Now my stepmom is acting all hurt and upset and my dad wants me to apologize for hurting her feelings. He says I deliberately overreacted to her joke just because I don’t like her and I was taking any excuse to be mean to her and exclude her. But I really feel like it was a weird joke to make even if she didn’t 100% mean it like that, and I think I have the right to be weirded out by it, plus I think I have the right to ask to spend some time just with my dad and it doesn’t mean I’m trying to exclude her.

GUY PUNCHED FATHER IN THE FACE, SAYS IT WAS LIKE HITTING THANOS

0

A netizen shared how he punched his father in the face when he was a child and he described it as being like trying to hit Thanos.

Here is the story:

“I punched my dad in the face when I was a kid.

I was probably 8 or 9. He was caning me in the guest bedroom and I hated canings so I decided enough was enough and I balled up my fist and hit him directly in the chin.

It was like hitting Thanos. He didnt budge. Then he paused before punching me in the chest and continued spanking me.

I could tell he held back when he punched me back because I was little and he could probably break my rib if he tried. I’m 26 now.

He’s gonna pay for that someday. I haven’t forgotten. ill get him back somehow.

Netizens comments

  • Amazed by all the people saying he deserved it, why do yall think hitting kids is ok???
  • Glad you are still alive to tell this story
  • I bet you still remember what you did to get that spanking and likely have never done it again. Let it go, dude, it’s part of growing up, not worth holding onto for so long. As for punching him, you challenged him and failed, simple as that.
  • You going to hate a man who has given you his life and raised you as best he could. And for those who don’t believe in spanking their kids…. well, just take a look a round….

HUSBAND KPKB BECAUSE WIFE COOKING NOT UP TO STANDARD

0

I’m 30 and live with my husband and three children (m8/ f5 / and m2). I work as a freelance artist from home and my husband works long hours driving. As a result, I do the majority of housework and look after our three children. Though when he’s off work and home, he takes on his fair share. Our lives mean that we don’t have much free time.

I enjoy cooking and as a mum, I make sure to give my children a wide variety of foods to eat. I want them to appreciate different cultures, flavours and different types of cuisine from all around the world, and to grow up kind and respectful of others, so a few days a week, (3 out of 7 )my children and I cook together and make a recipe from another country. We all enjoy this and it gives a perfect segue into learning about a foreign country.

My husband on the other hand has a more plain palette and prefers simple dishes that he grew up with, such as fish and chips, bbq chicken etc. We eat plenty of meals like this too.

A week ago, we hired a babysitter and went to a friend’s house for dinner. (All Covid tested and negative) They cooked a beautiful vegetarian pie, with mashed potatoes and vegetables.My husband turned to them and said “Oh god, finally! A decent meal for once! My wife is always cooking these awful smelly dishes.”

Hurt, I looked at my husband and asked him what he meant, and he said that ” he only puts up with it, because he doesn’t have time to cook something decent for himself”.

The meal was a little awkward after that, but neither of us brought it up again while there, until we came home. I told him that I “wouldn’t stop cooking foreign food with the kids and if he didn’t like it, he would have to cook something for himself.” He once again said that ” he didn’t have time for that, and I should just cook him something he likes at the same time, ” which I refuse to do, mainly because when he comes home after work he spends all his time, up until bedtime, gaming (this is around 4 / 4 1/2 hours of time after he comes in.) and has plenty of time to cook a quick, but decent meal for himself and enjoy his hobby.

Once again this week, I cooked with my kids and like I told my husband, I didn’t leave him any. He was pissed, but ordered take out. The second time he went around to his parents house and his mum cooked for him. The next day, I got a phone call from my mother in laaw saying I was ” a bad wife for not cooking for my husband, and that I spent all day doing my hobby (my actual job) and why shouldn’t he enjoy his hobby? ” Which again, he still can and does do. I also still cook for him on the days I’m not cooking anything foreign.

So am I in the wrong? He need to bring his mother out to settle small things like this. I think i married a child.

GRANDMA TOLD GRANDSON’S GF TO COVER UP, TOO OPEN

0

So my GF and I have dated for just barely 3 years. She has met my immediate family and but she has never met my extended family.

So we have a tradition where once a month my grandmother hosts a Sunday dinner for the entire family at her home. We all show up and if you’re old enough to use a stove you cook.

My girlfriend has never attended until very recently, the first time she did was in December prior to Christmas. This is because my grandmother would prefer to not have non family and partners that haven’t been around for a while present.

When she attended in December, I got word that my grandmother didn’t approve of her choice of clothing and won’t welcome her back if she doesn’t dress better. My aunt told me that grandma thought she dressed, “whorish”. Now I fully disagree and so did my family and my aunt. My girlfriend was admittedly dressed slightly less conservative than the other women but I wouldn’t call what she was wearing immodest at all.

So I told my girlfriend and asked her if she would dress more conservatively next time. So come January the dinner is this Sunday. I wanted to not have a repeat of what happened last time as I want her to get FaceTime with my family.

I asked my girlfriend to show me her dress before this weekends. She did and the dress was less conservative. Again, it wasn’t immodest, but just less conservative and I know it’d piss my grandmother off again. She said no as she really liked the dress and it was modest. I told her that what’s modest to her isn’t going to be what’s modest to a 89-year-old woman. I told her if she wanted to buy a dress I’d pay for it.

She refused. After some arguing, she proved that she was not going to budge. I told her that I’d she didn’t change it would be better if she just not show up and we try to find a solution for next month. She then said she wasn’t getting a different dress and I told her that it’s best she not come and I’d go without her.

She told me I was being unreasonable and putting an old woman’s outdated views over her freedom. I feel like I was being very reasonable.

There is this saying, both sides of my palm is my flesh. whichever side i got pinched is gonna hurt.

What should I do?
