Hi Everyone.

PLEASE BEWARE ABOUT THIS SCAM THAT IS GOING AROUND.

It just happened to me, so I hope it doesn’t happen to anyone else too.

I already made a Police report regarding this.

This guy by the name of Kum, posted a photo that he is blessing a sofa & there will be a delivery charged of $25.

When I told him I will transfer the money only once the item is delivered, he insist for the money to be transfered to him first. He even convinced me by saying that the transport company is reliable, he will even ask u to read reviews on carousell.

After I transfered him the $25, he blocked me from Facebook.

I just moved in to a rental flat & that small amount of money means a lot.

Here are what netizens think:

• Having paynow/payla & scan code, the police can contact the bank to help you. My husband said that never pay them by by bank transfer ;scan code. Just tell them payment by cash upon delivery.

• Thanks for informing, I suspect this might be a fake and not his FB acc and it could be a hacked, stolen and made used of. Most likely he could also be operating from outside of Sgp.

• I met before,reported to police.Only statement given,investigator in AngMokio police division said this is not against to law.No further action will be taken.We must be careful.

• As long more and more people come out to make police report, they will take action coz of the same paynow number appearing multiple times on the reports. They will know it’s not a one off thing and will investigate. Please go and make the report if you are one of the victims to stop this guy.

• That’s so horrible!!What a tainted soul!! Hope a police report lodge will put a stop to his conniving tricks on innocent victims

In a recent incident that caught the attention of commuters, a student was seen hanging a dripping wet shirt inside a bus. The incident serves as a poignant reminder that education alone cannot shield individuals from the challenges they face in their daily lives.

The incident unfolded when a young student, clad in a school uniform, entered a crowded bus. The heavy rain outside had left the student soaked, and without any other option, they decided to hang their wet shirt on a nearby railing inside the bus. This act drew curious glances and sparked conversations among fellow passengers.

Here are what netizens think:

• If the clothing belongs to the boy. He had studied in vain. He forgotten what’s taught in civic & moral education.

• Very inconsiderate! Public buses served old and handicap too. The wet floors may be slippery for these passengers! Wake up lah numbskulls.

• It’s ok. These are the FTs that SG is bringing in. Without them SG and Singaporeans will collapse.

• The government should put a dry clothes machine inside the bus … Can make money

• Airing one’s (dirty?) Laundry in a bus – not in public this time round ..

• I can sense the smell emanating from that shirt.

• The bus captain must able to react to all these situations. They must immediately stop the bus and call the police . And these clothes must be remove by police together with the owner.

• And its still water dripping wet. Won’t it be slippery to cause a passengerto slip and fall down. Then again why was the bus Captain not concerned? Why call the bus drivers as Captains?In that case, why don’t we classify drivers as ‘bus drivers’ and not bus Captains whom has no other responsibilities but to just drive the bus. The name Captains dies not fit them.

• Free air con blower from one points to another points.In future hang your G strings in the public bus.

• Everyone better watch n learn well from our talented genius scholars of. Hopefully can see more of these talents on buses showing off their boat power…

In Toa Payoh, a man has recently found himself in the center of a social media storm. Allegations have been made against him, claiming that he regularly fakes fainting spells to elicit sympathy and monetary support from passersby.

The incident came to light through a TikTok video posted by a user under the handle @user5811077002286, showcasing the man lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious. However, the man, who is jobless, insists that his fainting spells are genuine and caused by hunger. This incident has sparked debates and discussions surrounding the authenticity of his claims and the appropriate response from the community.

The TikTok Video: Unmasking Deception or Misunderstanding?

The TikTok video capturing the man in a vulnerable state quickly gained attention online. Dressed in a dark blue plaid top, dark grey pants, and olive green sneakers, the man could be seen curled up on the ground in a fetal position. The person filming the video approached him, provoking a response as the man slightly moved his left foot. A voice in the video uttered, “Uncle, uncle, mai geh liao” (Hokkien for “stop pretending”). The TikTok user behind the video claimed that the man has a history of pretending to faint, exploiting the sympathy of others to acquire money before swiftly departing.

The Allegation and its Ripple Effects

The accusations made against the man have reverberated across social media platforms, drawing mixed reactions from netizens. Some believe that he is indeed fabricating his fainting episodes, viewing him as an opportunist seeking financial gain through deceit. Others, however, have expressed skepticism regarding the TikTok video’s veracity and cautioned against jumping to conclusions without a deeper understanding of the man’s circumstances

The reactions of those in the vicinity reflect a mixture of frustration and concern. Witnessing the man’s recurring episodes and feeling that they have become familiar with his tactics, some individuals have attempted to advise him against feigning his fainting spells. They have even discouraged others from responding to his requests for help. However, despite their efforts, the man has remained steadfast in his approach and even reacted defensively when confronted by someone who questioned his authenticity.

A woman, presumably a tourist was seen occupying several seats on the MRT so that she can place her bags.

Netizens start to discuss if the bag has a backside.

Tourist

it is extremely inconsiderate of tourists to occupy MRT seats with their bags. This is not only disruptive to fellow commuters, but it also prevents others from taking a seat and enjoying a comfortable ride.

It is understandable that tourists may not be familiar with local etiquette, but it is essential that they are aware of the inconvenience they are causing. Tourists should be respectful of other passengers and show consideration by leaving MRT seats open for those who need them.

Furthermore, they should take care to ensure that their bags do not take up too much space and make it difficult for passengers to move through the train. It is important that tourists respect and adhere to local customs and not be inconsiderate when travelling in Singapore.

Here are what netizens think:

• Sometimes can’t blame them. If they put the bags on the floor then it’ll be difficult to walk. If put bags beside seats same u can’t seat too.

• That bags have there own ezilink also ……lol but the question is? Regular or student fares? Lol

• This is the problem of having common train to city . In HK , the train from airport is separate from the usual MTR routes. There is potential security issues also.

• to wherever they go. Especially most angmo not all but the younger generations. They thought is kool. Something is really wrong about the whole world educations including here…

• I been to some countries, they have a section to put luggage or big items.

• I guess this train should be heading airport. (Tanah merah, expo. Some tourist passenger will put their belongings at the seat that no one seat along this row

• Every morning time like that MRT maybe all peoples going Airport. Good idea.

• If no much passenger it’s ok. if there’s a lot you can ask them politely to remove their belongings. So easy!

• They might be a little inconsiderate but that cannot be worse than your parents giving you a mouth but you don’t use it, instead they gave you a judgmental mindset.
