DEAD BROTHER “CALLS” SISTER AS HER BF PEE ON HIS GRAVE

0

So in fact, my brother was born quite exactly one year before I was born and died when he was one month old due to a heart problem.

My father completely weird about these things, decided not to talk about his death. So I always assumed that he was buried. Fast forward to my twenties, I’ve had a boyfriend, let’s just call him psycho we were laying in bed a Sunday around midnight and he was telling me stories from his life.

Like the time he did a courage test with his friend when he was young. It consisted in walking into the nearby cemetery and peeing on a grave. The first to run away would lose. So they peed on a grave,

Psycho on a smaller grave which wasn’t like the normal ones, these little graves were aligned the horizontal way, the normal ones the vertical way. This night he dreamt of a little boy coming out of the grave and being angry with him because he made a mess out of “his home” Suddenly, I tell him to put his shoes on and get his jacket.

He wanted to know what was going on. I couldn’t explain it, I just knew I had to go with him. He wanted to drive his car, I said no and took the keys. Without ever having been in that cemetery, i drove there, i knew instinctively where to drive..we arrived to the main, big entry of that cemetery, and I tell him: we have to walk that way and then turn right.. pointing at some candle lights in the back of the cemetery. He was so mindblown, but told me: if you are searching the grave where I’ve peed on, I’m quite sure it was back there but on the left side. We searched and searched, in the middle of the night, more than one hour, but nothing familiar to me.

We went back home but I couldn’t sleep. Next day I’ve asked my father where my brother was burried and he answered me..it was exactly that cemetery and after I asked for the grave number I’ve found out, that psycho peed on my brother’s grave… In fact it was going on the right side, exactly where I felt I should have searched.

MAN ALLEGEDLY HIT WOMAN WITH STROLLER & PUNCHED HER FOR “CUTTING HIS QUEUE” AT MRT

0

Facebook user Kimi Vaswani shared how she was allegedly attacked by a man who repeatedly hit her ankle with his baby stroller until her sandals came off. The man also allegedly punched her in the chest repeatedly.

He claimed that she had “cut his queue” on the escalator.

Here is what she said

Today am sharing my feeling with heavy heart . My English may not be so good but my message & my intention is clear to express what kind of world we are living in I feel like I am living in a country with unhelpful people. Just 42 hours back at Bishan mrt, this man hit my ankle with his stroller, for the first time I thought he had accidentally pushed the stroller against me, but he did this again and again till my sandals came off. I turned and looked at him again when he hit the stroller against my ankle the forth time as I was annoyed and told him “can u learn basic manners”.

He told me I had apparently “cut his queue” on the crowded escalator before and it is why he was angry… he came so close to me and behaved very aggressively that I pushed him away and asked him to stay away talk and talk from a distance, he got so aggressive he punch me on my chest again and again. There were many many people who passed by but none came and help or ask if am I ok ? I am feeling ab-d mentally and physically. My family is upset stressed & angry.

Today it was me who had unknowingly walked ahead of someone on an escalator ride tomorrow it can be anyone’s mother, wife, old parents or kids.

I just want to say please stand up for each others in bad times. We cannot live in a society that allows for people like this to behave however they like and get away with it.

This case has been reported to the police. If you identity this person, please do let me know.

0

The Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council said in a Facebook statement yesterday (4 October) that a worker died after being found semi-conscious, he had allegedly collapsed and hit his head against the ground.

WSH’s statement

Worker found semi-conscious with head injury

On 2 May 2023, a worker who had completed erecting a wall in a worksite was found beside the wall semi-conscious and with head injuries. The worker was sent to the hospital where he died the same day.

Preliminary findings indicate that the worker could have collapsed and struck his head against the ground.

Construction workers may be exposed to various workplace hazards due to the nature of their work. The WSH Council calls on all companies taking on similar work activities to put in place the necessary measures to protect the health and safety of workers.

What companies should do

Companies should assess and ensure that their WSH management system includes the following measures or checks:

  • Worker health: Before starting work, check that workers: (i) are fit to carry out the assigned task; (ii) are feeling well; and (iii) have enough time for meals and medication needed to manage chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. These conditions may cause dizziness or loss of consciousness if not well-managed with medication.
  • Workplace housekeeping: Ensure that the worksite is kept as dry as possible and free of materials/ debris to prevent slips and trips.
  • Protect against falling objects: Loose materials and tools should be removed from height or otherwise, properly secured to reduce the risk of being struck by falling objects.
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Instruct workers to put on their safety helmet with chin strap while at all work areas where head injuries are possible. Equip workers with anti-slip safety shoes.

For more information, refer to the WSH Council’s Code of Practice on WSH Risk Management, and WSH Guidelines on Workplace Housekeeping from the following links

GIRL PUKED ON HUSBANDS ‘2IC’ WHILE HAVING SOME FUN

0

A girl shared a story on how she had accidentally puked on her husband’s ‘2 IC’ while they were having some fun with each other one night.

They had just taken some food and drinks before she suddenly got into the mood and decided to have some fun by using her mouth to have a go at the husband’s ‘2 IC’.

Here is the story

“This happened a few weeks ago but I’m still freaked out by the incident. Hubby and I decided to have a chill night drinking mixed drinks and watching a movie and well one thing leads to another and we start getting into the mood.

At this point I’m already pretty gone and high and I had just ate a quarter of a subway sandwich about 15min earlier.

In the state of my drunkenness, I thought it would be a wonderful idea to try and please my hubby and attempt to have a go and his ‘2 IC’ with my mouth ( something I’ve been working on getting better at ) and it didn’t end up too well.

Everything was going so well at first and we were both really getting into it and enjoying it until I went a little too far and before I knew it I puked all over his ‘2 IC’.

Still drunk and high I froze and just stared at him while he looks shocked and asked me if I just puked on him. I couldn’t even talk but rushed to get a paper towel to wipe him up.

I ended up making it worse by smearing it everywhere and not doing a good job cleaning up.

Hubby was a Trooper about it and went to take a shower while picking on me.

I learned a very valuable lesson about not eating before attempting to have a go at his ‘2 IC’ and I’m still very shocked and embarrassed about the situation.”

PRIME MOVER DRIVER KILLED AFTER BEING CRUSHED BY TOPPLED STEEL GATE AT WAREHOUSE

0

The Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council said in a Facebook statement yesterday (4 October) that a worker was killed after being crushed by a toppled steel gate at the entrace of a warehouse in Singapore, earlier this year.

WSH’s statement

Driver crushed by toppled gate

On 9 June 2023, a prime mover driver was closing a steel sliding gate at the entrance of a warehouse when the gate travelled beyond its stopper and toppled onto him. He was sent to the hospital where he died the same day.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the stopper affixed at the top of the gate was worn, which could have resulted in the gate travelling beyond its guide bracket.

If sliding gates are not properly designed, installed, operated, or maintained, they can topple and lead to serious and even fatal workplace injuries. The WSH Council calls on all companies with such gates at their premises to put in place the necessary safety measures to prevent gate toppling incidents.

What companies should do

Companies should review and make sure adequate safety measures have been made and implemented for sliding gates at their workplaces. Some of these measures include:

  1. Design of gate stopper: Stoppers should be designed and sized to prevent derailment during operation. Corrosion, weathering and repetitive use may make the stopper ineffective and the gate unsafe. Seek the manufacturer’s advice on replacing the stoppers in such cases.
  2. Gate inspection and maintenance: Gates should be inspected and maintained based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. If the stopper needs to be removed during maintenance, the gate must be properly propped and supported to prevent toppling. Warning signs and barricades should also be put up to warn and keep others away from the unsecured gate.
  3. Gate repair: Only trained and authorised personnel can carry out repair work on the gate.
  4. Gate modification: Do not modify any part of the gate and its components unless approved by the gate’s manufacturer.
  5. Report defects: Stop using the gate immediately if any defect is spotted on the gate. Report the defect to the gate’s manufacturer as soon as possible. Work with the manufacturer to develop safe work procedures for handling defective gates.

For more information, refer to the Circular on Safety Considerations in Gate Design and Operation at https://www.mom.gov.sg/…/circular-20120301-safety…

Under the WSH Act, first-time corporate offenders may be sentenced to the maximum fine of $500,000 whilst individuals can either be sentenced to the maximum fine of $200,000 and/or an imprisonment not exceeding 2 years.

WOMAN DEMANDS DOWRY, MAN INSIST ON MODERN MARRIAGE

0

I’m asking you please to engage in cultural relativity here. You don’t have to like our practices, just temporarily accept them to understand this post.

We are from a culture where it’s customary that a dowry is paid when a woman is married – this a customary marriage(CM) and what one must do in order to start a life.

The CM serves many purposes:

  • it shows you that a man is serious about you
  • he’ll have worked to save and declare his commitment to you and your family
  • it joins your family to his; its the right way to marry a woman
  • it honours a womans parents, family and community, and it let’s the ancestors know you’re leaving the home.

The CM is one of the core principles of my tradition: we’re a family-oriented people and that’s how families are forged.

Now my sister decided to marry a man who’s not from our culture. He refused to marry her customarily because it was “demeaning”, “barbaric” and “backward”.everyone advised her not to marry a man who viewed her that way but she stuck to him and had a modern marriage ceremony. Our parents weren’t supportive but they did attend the church ceremony.

This is already a huge faux pas in our culture. To add insult to injury, her husband is consistently rude and disrespectful to our culture.

He comes into my parent’s home and refers to them by their first names. This is not done with anyone older than you, especially not your in-laws. My parents try to look beyond the absence of customary marriage and treat him like their own anyway, but he throws it back in their face each time.

He rejected core parts of someone’s culture, and then expect to gain full acceptance in a traditional family and expect to be invited to their customary/traditional practices.

GUY DOESN’T WANT CHILDREN AT HIS “ADULTS ONLY” BIRTHDAY PARTY

0

So during my 30th birthday, I was planning my birthday party for a while.

I was inviting my family and friends and had a table booked at a restaurant with Asian cuisine. When discussing the birthday reservation I have mentioned i would like to keep it adults only.

Simply so we don’t have to watch our language and my friends and family kids are all younger than 8, so spicy/Asian food will not be suitable and they will get bored. The place also doesn’t have kids menu.

This all went well and since the booking was for the noon on a weekend my friends didn’t have a problem to leave the kids with their partners.

However my sister demanded to know why I don’t want her kids at my birthday and refused to accept that it’s my birthday and the food is not suitable for kids.

I got annoyed and told her I would of considered to have her kids(5 and 8) around if she actually educated them instead of being on her phone, since her youngest doesn’t have any manners and throws tantrums whenever the kid doesn’t like/get something.

By tantrums I mean screaming and crying for hours and up to throwing food or running at other guests or members of staff in public, while she keeps being on her phone.

My sister and part of my family scolded me and she said she won’t come to my birthday or talk to me until I realise what I said was wrong.

My friends believe she is overeacting and are on my side, since a lot of them have younger kids and they behave a lot better.

14 Y.O GUNMAN WHO KILLED INNOCENTS @ BANGKOK MALL, CHARGED WITH MURDER

0

The 14-year-old boy responsible for a recent shooting at the Siam Paragon Mall in Bangkok that killed two people and injured several others has since been charged on 4 October with premeditated murder and illegal possession of a firearm, according to Channel NewsAsia.

A Day Turned Tragic: The Siam Paragon Shooting

The Unfolding Tragedy

The incident occurred on Tuesday at the Siam Paragon shopping centre, a popular destination in Bangkok known for its upscale shops and bustling atmosphere. The tranquil setting was shattered when gunshots rang out, sending hundreds of shoppers into a panic.

Tragically, two innocent lives were lost in this senseless act of violence. Among the victims were a Chinese and a Myanmar national, who had likely come to enjoy a day of shopping, completely unaware of the danger that awaited them.

The Suspect: A Troubled Teenager

Psychological Breakdown

According to the police, the suspect had suffered a psychological breakdown in the days leading up to the shooting.

Despite the psychological issues, a court decided against detaining the teenager at a mental health facility. Instead, he was ordered into juvenile detention.

The teenager now faces a series of charges, including illegal possession of a firearm, carrying a firearm in public without authorization, and discharging a firearm in public.

This incident once again highlights the pressing issue of gun control in Thailand. The ease with which the teenager acquired a modified pistol raises concerns about the accessibility of firearms and the need for stricter regulations.

Recap

According to the timeline of events provided by the Thai police via The Bangkok Post, the shooter entered Siam Paragon via BTS Link 2 at 3.35 pm, appearing as an ordinary visitor, carrying a shoulder bag, and blended into the crowd.

Security camera footage revealed that five minutes later, he made his way to M floor, where he walked into a restroom. It was during this time that he began to prepare for the horrifying act he was about to commit.

Video and still images shared on social media showed a long-haired Thai male dressed in a black shirt and camouflage pants. He was wearing a baseball cap adorned with the American flag and, alarmingly, carrying a handgun.

At 4.10 pm, gunshots resonated from inside the toilet, instantly transforming the mall’s atmosphere into one of terror and chaos. The shooter, now out in the open, continued to fire at unsuspecting shoppers.

By 4.25 pm, he had moved to the mall’s second floor, continuing his shooting spree without restraint. Panic gripped the mall, and people were desperately seeking shelter.

A few minutes later, the shooter took the escalator to the third floor, where he continued his rampage. Shoppers and staff were trapped.

He was eventually cornered by the police into a furniture shop on the 3rd floor and he then surrendered to the police, putting down his weapon.

Hundred of shoppers were seen in videos circulating online, fleeing the mall and going to the Rama I Road in the Pathum Wan district.

The mall’s entry and exit points were also locked down and the BTW Skyway was also shut down, with the Skytrain bypassing the Siam BTS station on its travel route.

Police officers were seen inside the locked down mall, along with VIPs who had arrived for a briefing, including the Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.

The deputy interior minister Chada Thaiset was also seen at the scene interrogating the 14-year-old in front of the media.

Reports revealed that the suspect was a student at a private school in Bangkok, with parents who were working as teachers.

A search of his home unveiled a stash of ammunition, including 49 9mm bullets and 15 spent shells of various sizes.

The authorities also went through his phone and found videos of his practising with a gun.

17 Y.O GOT HIS FIRST PAYCHECK AND BROUGHT MOTHER OUT TO EAT

0

I (17m) got my first paycheck and took my mom out to eat

We decided to go to one of those nice seafood restaurants by the beach where appetizers are like almost $20, but I wanted to treat my mom!!

I was so excited because it’s my first job so first paycheck, my mom always does stuff for me so wanted to do something nice for her.

We tried calamari for the first time ever (it was da bomb). It even felt good to tip the waiter a lot.

I kno eating out is normal but when you’re the one paying for someone and they have a good time, it just made me feel really good. My mom was happy so it was worth it

Netizen’s comments

  • This is the mark of a good young man. Actions like this are things your mother will never, ever, forget.
  • That is really sweet of you! Make sure to save as much as you can, I wish I would’ve done that when I was younger!
  • Truly a great feeling. I went through the same feelings and once I could afford more was able to redo my parents bathroom at no cost to them. Also nice going back “home” and seeing the joy my hard work brought my parents even years later.
