I still can’t believe it happened to me. I trusted my friend and he deceived me in the worst way possible. He scammed me out of $10K and told me to invest in a pub. Little did I know, his shares were worth nothing.
It all started when he approached me about investing in a pub. He was excited about the opportunity and said he had a great deal for me. He said the pub had the potential to make a lot of money and he wanted to give me the chance to get in on the ground floor of the investment.
He promised that if I invested $10K, he’d give me shares in the pub that could one day be worth much more.
I trusted him and decided to invest in the pub. He told me he was going to put the money in a safe place and he’d give me the shares as soon as the pub was up and running. I was excited about the potential of making money through the pub, so I handed over the $10K without hesitation.
A few weeks later, He told me the pub was open and he was ready to give me my shares. I was excited and couldn’t wait to start making money. But when I went to the pub, I soon realized something was wrong. The place was empty and there were no customers. When I asked him about it, he told me not to worry and that the pub would start making money soon.
Weeks went by and the pub remained empty. I started to get suspicious and decided to investigate. I soon discovered that he had been lying to me. He had taken my $10K and had never actually invested in the pub. He had simply pocketed the money and had been using my trust in him to scam me.
I was devastated and angry. I had trusted him and he had betrayed me in the worst way possible. He had scammed me out of $10K and had told me to invest in a pub, but his shares were worth nothing.
To make matters worse, I couldn’t get my money back. He had already spent it and there was no way to get it back. I had lost $10K and my trust in my best friend.
A video emerged online showing two women fighting it out among each other at Orchard MRT, with a lot of hair-pulling going on.
A video of the incident was uploaded online showing the two women fighting on the floor, although not much was revealed about the incident.
In the video, a woman wearing a short pink dress was seen pinning another woman wearing a black shirt and orange shorts down onto the ground, in full view of the public.
She was seen pulling and tugging on the black shirt woman’s hair as passers-by passed them by, before a group of public members then stepped in and tried to separate the two of them.
However, despite their efforts to break up the fight, the woman in the pink dress refused to let go and continued pulling at the woman’s hair.
A few passers-by could be seen in the foreground with the phone cameras on, recording the incident as the kind samaritans who stepped in tried their best to stop the fight.
Potential penalties
According to Chapter 224 of the Penal Code, anyone who disturbs public peace by fighting in public is guilty of committing an affray.
Upon conviction, offenders could face a jail term of up to one year and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
According to Chapter 321 of the Penal Code, anyone who performs an act that causes hurt to a person is guilty of Voluntarily Causing Hurt.
Upon conviction, offenders could face a jail term of up to 3 years and/or a fine of up to $5,000.

LiHo’s recent $1 promotion on their iced tea caused quite a buzz in Singapore, with many customers taking advantage of the deal. One particular customer, however, caught the attention of social media with her unique approach to maximizing the promotion.
TikTok user Nothingaboutsteven shared a video on the platform, showcasing her use of a large wine glass to purchase LiHo’s $1 Da Hong Pao Tea. In the 20-second video, Nothingaboutsteven can be seen approaching the LiHo store with the oversized wine glass.
The video captures a LiHo employee pouring the regular order into the massive glass, but only managing to fill it halfway. Despite this, Nothingaboutsteven received her order in the giant glass, beaming with delight as she held it with both hands.
A giant glass
It’s understandable that some netizens might feel upset about Nothingaboutsteven’s creative approach to getting the most out of LiHo’s promotion. Some may see it as a way of exploiting the promotion, which could be seen as unfair to other customers who may have missed out on the deal due to the high demand.
On the other hand, it could be argued that Nothingaboutsteven was simply being resourceful and making the most of the promotion within the rules set by LiHo. It’s also worth noting that the promotion was open to all customers, and there were no specific terms and conditions that prohibited the use of large glasses.
Ultimately, whether or not Nothingaboutsteven’s actions were appropriate is subjective and open to interpretation. It’s important to consider the perspectives of all parties involved, including LiHo and other customers, and to act in good faith when taking advantage of promotions or discounts.
A traffic accident took place yesterday along Sims Avenue, involving a bus and a van, resulting in passengers having to alight.
The accident also caused a traffic jam, and the passengers had to alight from several buses at the back that were stuck because of the accident in front.
According to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), they said that one person was conveyed to Changi General Hospital following the accident.
A netizen on TikTok posted a video of the aftermath of the accident on 25 March, and he captioned the video (SIC): “Bus and van accident at Sims ave causes of Traffic jam about 2km”
In the video, it showed a bus that appeared to have crashed into the side of a black-coloured van in the middle of the road.
Both the bus and the van remained stationary in the middle of the road, as the other motorists nearby tried to manoeuvre their way around the wreckage.
Passengers from the other buses were also seen in the video alighting from the vehicles, with the buses “queuing” up at the back in a row due to the accident blocking off the whole road.
SBS Transit officers were also on site helping to guide the disembarked passengers down the street.
The netizen said that the accident between the bus and the van had allegedly caused a traffic jam that spanned about 2 km.
Another video was also shared, following up on the previous video, showing the passengers still alighting from the buses, with traffic coming to a halt.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed the accident and said that the accident happened on 25 March, and they received a call for help at about 5.15 pm in the afternoon about an accident that occurred along Sims Avenue, near Jalan Turi.
It was previously reported by several major news outlets that a road rage incident took place along Selegie Road in the early hours of 19 March, involving a man, three women and several drivers who were in the vicinity.
According to Mothership, the man seen in the video, identified in court documents as 34-year-old Lee Wei Jian, was charged in court yesterday (25 March) with causing public nuisance for stopping his vehicle abruptly in the middle of the road, as well as threatening other road users and causing danger to the public.
He was also charged with a number of offences for earlier incidents, including voluntarily causing hurt and use of criminal force.
According to the police’s preliminary investigations, it was found that Lee and the victim were a couple, and at the time of the incident, they were having a dispute.
He is currently being remanded at the Central Police Division at the Police Cantonment Complex and was denied bail because the judge noted that he had committed three alleged offences while out on bail; he is expected to return to court on 5 April, 3pm for his Pre-Trial Conference.
If convicted of public nuisance, he faces a fine of up to $2,000.
If convicted of public nuisance knowing that it will cause, or will probably cause danger, common injury of annoyance to the public, Lee faces a jail term of up to 3 months and/or a fine of up to $2,000.
New evidence surfaces showing him punching victim
Another video of the incident taken from an aerial view was shared online yesterday by the Facebook page SG Road Vigilante, documenting the full extent of the incident.
In the latest video, Lee, who was seen wearing a greenish-blue t-shirt, was seen throwing punches at one of the three women who were with him at the time.
A woman was heard in the video wailing and screaming.
The victim, donning a pair of greyish skinny jeans, was seen standing with her back against a concrete road barricade, with another woman wearing a dress, facing her and having her arms around her neck, appearing to be protecting her from Lee’s attempted punches.
However, Lee still managed to find his way around and continued attacking the woman, as seen in the video.
Woman tried to shield victim from him
A third woman wearing a dress and boots, carrying a bag, was seen using her phone and also trying to stop Lee from attacking the victim, for a few moments.
Lee was also seen running across 5 lanes on the road, heading towards Tekka Centre while pointing at something, before running out of the frame of the video.
Meanwhile, the victim ran away in the opposite direction of the video frame, while the other two women who were seen in the earlier parts of the video trying to stop the attack, remained at the scene.
One of them reached into the car for her belongings from the driver’s side of the car, despite the oncoming traffic.
Moments later, Lee was seen running across several lanes and going back to the scene, speaking to the two women before driving off and leaving the two women behind.
Recap on original post
According to MustShareNews and the netizen who shared the video with SG Road Vigilante, she was with her husband on their way to Tekka Market for breakfast on 19 March at about 6am in the morning, along Selegie Road.
Nearing the junction, she saw a stationary vehicle on the left lane without its hazard lights on, and she claimed that they saw a Chinese lady allegedly crying helplessly and running around a BMW while trying to get away from a man who was chasing after her.
The netizen said that there were many drivers who stopped in front of the commotion, and claimed that whenever the passing drivers stopped to check out what was happening, the man would allegedly open their car door and hurl vulgarities at them, as well as allegedly trying to meddle with their dashboard camera.
The netizen wanted to be a “good samaritan” and called the police for help, and was filming the incident when the man reached into her car and allegedly tried to grab her phone.
However, he failed and the netizen claimed that the man allegedly pulled her hair and scratched her chest, resulting in her dress buttons “popping out”, and her arms being scratched.
She added that her husband then drove away from the scene to avoid further damage, and that the man had allegedly punched their back mirror and continued to attack their car.
Her husband then drove towards Tekka and eventually stopped at Sungei Road, and the man allegedly saw their car and ran from where his car was to their vehicle and allegedly hit their rearview mirrors and bonnet, damaging it.
The netizen claimed that after the police arrived, they gave their statement but the man had allegedly left the scene before the arrival of the officers.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE 24 March 2023 @ 11:15 PM
My boyfriend’s breath is extremely bad and smell like trash.
Disclaimer: My bf has a rare throat disease that causes bad breath!!! I am fully aware of this and accept it. I know he will never not have bad breath. However…
He doesn’t properly take care of his mouth either. He never flosses, he denies tonsil stones exist despite the smell of them being strongly on his breath, and doesn’t brush his teeth daily.
I find poor dental hygiene in a relationship to be unacceptable. But because he has a disability that makes it worse, I have a hard time being stern about this, yet you’d think if he is already predisposed to bad breath, that he’d take care of his mouth…
I also think a simple mouthwash before kissing (without needing to be asked) can go a long way. He’s prone to bad breath with his disease, but that doesn’t mean he can never not have good breath if he tried.
It also doesn’t help that I have an extremely sensitive nose.
I’m more than willing to look past the bad breath which he cannot help, but he doesn’t even take steps to make it better.
And it’s so bad that I cannot even face his direction in the morning or night before brushing without wanting to puke.
Netizens’ comments
Since you asked for advice, mine is to break things off. I know this sounds extreme, but this man doesn’t respect you or those around him. He knows he’s predisposed to horrible breath, yet does absolutely nothing to rectify the situation. His condition is not a disability; it’s not even that relevant. His breath would be rancid even if he didn’t have that, simply because he does not brush every day. A grown man should not have to be babied and coaxed into basic oral hygiene. Personally, I don’t can’t imagine being even remotely attracted to somebody with habitually horrible breath who does nothing to keep his mouth clean.
You’re braver than me. I couldn’t kiss someone that might give me gingivitis from his bacteria ridden mouth.
I (33F) with my boyfriend (37M) for over 10 years.
Diagnosed with Stage 4 inflammatory mammary cancer in September. Went through chemotherapy and got left breast removed.
Treatment is going good. Pathology report shows that the chemo was 100% effective. I maybe in NED.
Obviously I wasn’t active in bed or interested at that time. That kind of happens when you are fighting for your damn life.
Now, my confidence is through the roof. My hair is slowly coming back including my limbo. We are not going to be active in bed until after I heal from hysterectomy surgery.
I am trying to figure out what to do. I am into soft-dom. My bf is into women into corsets and such. Before, he would play with my chests as foreplay before my cancer. That may be a bit difficult now.
I can do prosthetics to wear but it’s not gonna be close. It may be a bit off putting as well.
Suggestions we can try? Thanks!
Netizens’ comments
Don’t worry. Your man is likely happy to have one to play with, because of the woman it’s attached to. You are the reason he gets turned on. Not your chest. When you are ready, your play will adapt.
A tattoo over the one side would be pretty damn cool adorning it in an alternate style could take it from a scar to an asymmetric work of beauty
There’s some lovely lady on here who got implants and an extravagant tattoo after she had a double mastectomy. Maybe not an immediate option, but something you can consider if you’re in the market.
If he loves you he won’t care about difference
Glad you’re feeling better. Is it possible that you’re just feeling a little self conscious right now and getting in your own head about this? I think it would be natural to, but sounds like you got a loving man, don’t think this will be an issue at all.
Hey all, So lately my gf has asked me not to pull out when we’re f-ing. She isn’t on any kind of birth control, so we’ve been relying on the pull out method.
She says she knows her body, knows when she’s ovulating, and says the day or two leading up to and the day after her period it’s really hard to get pregnant, so that’s when when she says I can leave it in, but I have my doubts.
I’m just not comfortable doing that as per the obvious potential consequences. I would never pressure her to start any form of birth control, but that would be the only way I’m comfortable not pulling out.
It’s her body and she knows it way better than I do obviously, so am I justified in thinking it’s extremely risky or is she correct?
Even if it was kinda a stupid question I just felt so inexperienced I needed to ask. She’s only the second person I’ve ever slept with and first “real” relationship
Netizens’ comments
My aunt and uncle only wanted two children. Their religious beliefs left them with the pull-out method as their only form of birth control. They gave me SIX cousins.
Welcome to parenting …!
You won’t pressure her to get on birth control, she shouldn’t be pressuring you into doing something you are not comfortable with. Consent is a two way street, if you don’t want to then don’t. She should understand and accept your choice.
‘Knowing her body’ bit is suspicious, there are calendar-based methods but she’d need to carefully track her period. Unless she shows she does actually use them, don’t believe her. Also, pull out isn’t that safe either, it relies on you correctly telling when you’re close and having enough self control to pull out before you come.
She will get pregnant. End of story. If you don’t want this, it’s your choice to use your boundaries and say no, you will be using a condom.
You’re already using withdrawl as a “method” of contraception. For me, being a “method” implies some kind of reliability and an 80% probability in a year is not reliable enough for my comfort. What she’s asking is to use a variation of the “rhythm method” which is even less reliable than withdrawal. Personally I wouldn’t do either unless I was happy for my partner to get pregnant. For example – Mrs-Norty and I used withdrawl between our first & second children, but we practiced it knowing that we were planning a 2nd child and if it “failed” the worst-case was it messed with our timetable a bit.
Sleeping with my husband’s mistress’ husband as revenge.
Quick catch up to provide some context: I found out my husband was cheating on me with another woman, and so I slept with that woman’s husband in return.
I showed my bf all the messages (I will call him bf because his official title: my “husband’s mistress’s husband” is too long to type).
He was as distraught and hurt as I was. We know what we are doing isn’t optimal but what else could we do. Two miserable, jilted hearts that found solace in each other.
It is not about the bedroom activities anymore. We have become each other’s support and coping tools. My husband’s affair killed me.
It destroyed my self esteem and everything good I knew about love and my bf helped me build this back up. I feel beautiful again, wanted and desired. Judge me all you want because you will never understand.
My bf has just started his company and divorce would be the end of his career because she will take 1/2. He is hoping to be able to buy her out later on.
My husband and I both have good and stable careers and we have built a beautiful home together. We have been great at juggling work and parenthood (and affairs obviously).
If we divorce we are gonna need to work less and downsize. But maybe once the children are a bit older and they’re in school. So we are back to square one.
We stay where we are and make the best of our situation. One thing has changed though. My bf told me that he loved me and that he considers us the main couple now.
And that he finally started looking forward to the future again. I actually love him too. More than I care to admit. It scares me because now my heart is at stake if I lose him.
About my husband and his mistress, I don’t know if they love each other or not. The messages between them are way less firey now. This is for those who asked why we wouldn’t just switch. They wouldn’t want that. Especially my husband.
All and all, not a perfect situation but I’m hopeful
I 24F have been with my bf (25M) for about 4 years. Since I had my baby, it’s been nonstop inappropriate comments from his dad.
They come and visit us a few times a year to see their grandchild and In the past he’s said things like:
“you look like you workout all night”,
“you look good for having a baby”
“I wish my wife looked as good as you”, and
“I want you guys to get family pictures, but beach themed so I can see you in a swimsuit”,
literally in front of EVERYONE and he sees no problem with what he says.
It gets worse, but I’ll get to that. Anyways, I HAVE spoken up and been like “ that makes me feel uncomfortable please stop that” but yet he continues.
When I talk to my bf about how his dad is making me feel it’s always things like “ it’s a compliment, just accept it. One day you won’t get them and you’ll miss it.”
Which honestly breaks my heart because you’d think he’d be outraged by hearing this.
I really don’t appreciate comments like asking to see me in a swimsuit from a middle aged man who is supposed to be my future father in law, like it doesn’t strike you as inappropriate?
If you like swimsuits so much, maybe buy a swimsuit for yourself or make your wife wear the swimsuit for you, don’t talk to me about my body.
I’ve gone as far as talking to his Mom about how I’m feeling which again, I get brushed as “ I’m sorry, that’s just how he is.”
BUT TODAY, a big line was crossed. I can’t remember what we were discussing, but I had disagreed with what his Dad had said and he said, without hesitation,”I should put you over my knee and spank you.”
The room went silent. I was completely taken aback by this and I said “ don’t you ever say anything about my body in ANY way again. That is absolutely disgusting.”
I told my bf about this and he rolled his eyes and all he said was,” it was a joke. I don’t understand why you can’t take a joke.”
I was so upset, I asked him if he thought it was okay for him to do that and he said no but to just stop taking things so seriously because he won’t say anything because “hates arguing with his dad”.
I know I’m not overreacting, cause I feel like this is harassment of some sort because this happens EVERY TIME they come to visit and I’ve voiced how I’m feeling to everyone and I’m brushed off, from the stupid swimsuit comments to wanting to spank me.
I guess I’m just asking what to do about my bf not sticking up for me when this happens because it’s gotten to the point where I wear very baggy clothes, don’t do my hair or makeup and try to avoid his dad so I don’t have to go through this, yet it still happens and I feel so alone.
I just want my bf to understand how I’m feeling and actually stick up for me instead of brushing me off leaving me to defend for myself….
