0

TWO MEN ARRESTED FOR HOUSEBREAKING AND THEFT

The Police have arrested two men, aged 60 and 79 for their suspected involvement in a case of housebreaking and theft.

On 27 February 2023 at 5.30pm, the Police received a report that a restaurant along South Bridge Road was broken into. Cash amounting to $1,400 were purportedly stolen from the premises.

Through ground enquiries and with the aid of images from Police cameras, officers from Central Police Division established the identities of the two men and arrested them on 1 March 2023.

Housebreaking tools and cash amounting to $1,300 believed to be stolen were seized as case exhibits.

Both men will be charged in the court on 3 March 2023 with housebreaking and theft under Section 451 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries an imprisonment for a term up to 10 years and a fine.

The Police would like to advise all property owners to adopt the following crime prevention measures:

  1. Secure all doors, roller shutters, windows and other openings with good quality grilles and closed-shackled padlocks when leaving your premises unattended; even for a short while;
  2. Install a burglar alarm, motion sensor light and/or CCTVs, to cover the access points into your premises. Ensure that they are tested periodically and in good working condition; and
  3. Refrain from keeping large sums of cash in your premises

FRIEND ALWAYS SAY ‘BUSY’ WHEN I JIO HIM BUT WHEN GIRL ASK HE ALWAYS FREE

0

My friend and I had been close since childhood. We shared a lot of interests, and we were often mistaken for brothers. We did everything together, from playing sports to going out for lunch.

But lately, things had been different. Whenever I asked my friend to hang out, he would always say that he was too busy.

Always free whenever girls ask him because he is a ‘ji hong’

At first, I didn’t think much of it. I figured he was just busy with work or school, and that it was understandable that he couldn’t always make it out.

But then, I started to notice something strange. Whenever a girl asked my friend to hang out, he would always be readily available. He would even make plans to go out with them, and he would never turn them down.

I started to get suspicious. I asked a few of my friends if they had noticed anything strange, and they confirmed what I had been thinking.

The male friends have tried to ask him out but if it was not for anything interesting, he would also say that he is busy but whenever a female friend or even acquaintance asks him out, he would always say yes.

Sometimes, he would even pangseh us halfway just to go and meet whichever female asked him to meet even if it was just for half an hour.

It was clear that my friend was clearly giving the girls more attention than he was giving the guy friends of him.

Its like he think that he can get something out of the females.

Defended himself and remained delusional about his actions

I disturbed him about it one day, but he denied that he was doing anything wrong. He said that he was just being friendly, and that he is not those type of hoes over bros person.

I laughed it off and thought deep inside me that such an explanation was clearly bullsh-t and decided that this was not a worthy friend to keep.

Its worse when he cannot see that the girls are using him.

MAN WHO WAS AWARDED $20K AFTER SUING SG POLICE, ORDERED TO PAY THEM $28K IN LEGAL COSTS

0

48-year-old Mah Kiat Seng, previously sued the Singapore Police for wrongful arrest and was awarded $20,000 in damages by the High Court.

However, now he had to pay the defendants $28,000 in legal costs.

Mah succeeded in his claim back in January that police officer Mohamed Rosli Mohamed had unlawfully arrested him, but failed in his second claim that another police officer Lawrence Tan Thiam Chin had assaulted him while in custody.

On 3 March, Mah was awarded $19,320 of the legal costs, while the Attorney-General, representing the Singapore Police Force, was awarded $48,000 in legal costs.

Justice Philip Jeyaretnam said that he is of the view that Mah is entitled to the costs of his successful claim against officer Rosli, but has to pay the costs of his unsuccessful claim against the other officer Tan.

Snippet of the judgment

Lastly, I would observe that it may appear incongruent that Mah is awarded $19, 320 in costs for the issues comprising 70% of the matter while the AG is awarded $48,000 for the issues comprising the balance 30%.

However, this apparent incongruity is explained and justified by two points.

First, compensation for the time of litigants in person will ordinarily be less than the amount that the court awards to litigants for the cost of legal representation, because of the principle that litigants must not profit from costs of legal proceedings.

As an aside, litigants who engage lawyers will typically spend more on that representation than they are awarded by the court if successful against the other party.

Secondly, in this particular case I have referred to the Magistrate’s Court scale as a reference point for Mah’s costs because this case could have been brought there, even though I have not limited the amount awarded to that scale.

I have done this because of the principle of proportionality.

By contrast, I have assessed the AG’s costs against the Cost Guidelines (which apply to High Court matters) because the AG did not choose the court, and a successful defendant to a matter brought in a higher court than the one appropriate to the claim is entitled to costs assessed on the scale or guidelines of that higher court.

MAN SEES PRI SCH KIDS EATING @ ASTONS BEHAVING LIKE RICH DISRESPECTFUL SPOILT BRATS

0

I remember the time when I was a kid. Back then, we had to bring our own lunch boxes to school and eat whatever our mums packed for us.

We never had the luxury of eating out or ordering from a restaurant. We were always content with whatever we had in our lunch boxes, and none of us ever felt deprived.

Shocked to see Primary school kids having money for Astons

But today, as I went to have a meal at Astons, I saw a few children in their Primary School uniform head to Astons and it is not just one or two of them but a whole bunch of them.

I was taken aback. How could the kids afford to eat here given that the prices at Astons had also increased as compared to ten years ago?

I began to wonder how much their parents had gave them for their allowances for them to be able to come in and order whatever they want.

We are talking about a price of almost $10 a meal and that is quite a bit for a Primary School kid.

These kids were also behaving like tyrants, disrespectful to the old aunty serving them

These children were also behaving like little tyrants, making a lot of noise and disturbing the otherwise peaceful atmosphere in the restaurant.

They were running up and down and also misbehaving and making fun of the old aunty that was serving them.

I begin to wonder how would these children ever learn the proper etiquette for interacting with people if they were never taught? Will they grow up to be spoiled, entitled brats who think they can get away with anything?

I felt a pang of anger as I watched the scene unfold. This is not the kind of world I want my children to grow up in. I want them to be raised in an environment that values respect and discipline and not one where they are catered to and allowed to do whatever they want.

I walked away feeling frustrated and disappointed. How have we come to this? How can our children be so rich, yet so ignorant?

How can we allow this kind of behavior to go unchecked? How can we let these children think that the world is theirs for the taking?

It’s a sad state of affairs, and I can only hope that someday things will change.

That someday, our children will be taught to respect and appreciate the world around them, and that they will understand the importance of hard work and discipline.

LEE HSIEN YANG CONSIDERS RUNNING FOR S’PORE PRESIDENT – “PEOPLE WANT ME TO RUN”

0

Lee Hsien Yang, the brother of Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, said during an interview with Bloomberg that he is considering running for President of Singapore.

He is currently not in Singapore amidst an investigation by the Singapore police on him and his wife Lee Suet Fern for allegedly providing false evidence.

Lee told Bloomberg that “if I were to run, they would be in serious trouble and could lose,” adding that “a lot of people have come to me. They really want me to run. It is something I would consider.”

The next presidential election in Singapore is expected to be held in September this year, 6 years after current president Halimah Yacob began her presidency back in September 2017.

Lee joined the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) before the 2020 General Election but ultimately chose not to contest in the elections, saying that Singapore doesn’t need another Lee in politics.

Lee and his wife have been living in Europe for months, leaving Singapore after the police asked them to come down for an interview back in June 2022.

They had initially agreed to the police interview but asked to reschedule it, before failing to turn up and emailing the police that they won’t be attending the interview, before leaving Singapore and haven’t returned since.

The couple were being investigated for possible offences of lying under oath during judicial proceedings, with the Court of Three Judges and a disciplinary tribunal finding that they had lied under oath back in 2020 over Lee’s involvement in executing the last will of the late Lee Kuan Yew.

Lee also declined to reveal to Bloomberg about where he and his wife are currently.

50 Y.O AUNTY CHIDES ME FOR NOT GIVING HER THE RESERVE SEAT WHEN I’M HEAVILY PREGNANT

0

It was my worst nightmare come true. I had been waiting for the train after a long and arduous day at work and I was feeling exhausted and dehydrated due to my heavy pregnancy.

I was about to board the train when I noticed a 50 year old woman was also waiting for the train. As soon as the train arrived, I quickly got on and took a seat.

Nagged at me for not giving the seat to her because she’s an ‘elderly’

When I was about to get comfortable, I heard the woman’s voice scolding me for not giving her the priority seat.

I was shocked and angry at the same time, because I knew she was not an elderly, and I was heavily pregnant. I was too tired to argue, so I just kept quiet and moved to the other seat.

I was so angry that I didn’t have the energy to explain to her why I shouldn’t have given her the seat. She kept nagging me and telling me that she deserved the seat more than me because she was older.

I was so mad and frustrated that I started to cry.

There were people around me but no one bothered to help me or stand up for me, everyone was busy glued to their phones.

She stopped nagging at me but continued to mumble under her breath

The woman finally stopped scolding me after noticing tears in my eyes but continued to mumble to under her breath about me.

I was so exhausted and angry that I just wanted to get off at the next station. I got off and tried to calm down, but I was still shaking with anger and frustration.

I was so angry and frustrated for the rest of the day. I felt like I was treated unfairly, and I was sure that the woman was wrong to scold me.

It was such a horrible experience that I will never forget. I was so angry and upset that it was all I could think about for the rest of the day.

S’PORE MAN HIRED INTERIOR DESIGNER TO RENOVATE HIS FLAT, FINAL RESULT KANASAI

0

Would like to bring awareness to people who are looking to engage this person known as *name redacted*, to be their Interior Designer for the flats. We were contacted by *name redacted* previously introduced himself from *name redacted*, but subsequently gave us a quotation from *name redacted* (de registered as of today) when we sent in our RFQ on Renopedia website.

We engaged him as our “Interior Designer” for our resale flat. He overpromised, under deliver.

1. Designs are very old school and basically, we tell him what we what and designed ourselves

2. Project management fail – poor time and coordination (will have to always manage ourselves and repeatedly remind him to inform contractors to come up to do certain works)

3. No integrity – our resale package comes with hacking and supply of tiles for living and all rooms. But when choosing tiles, he insisted that we will have to pay extra $10k minimum for tiles, and instead pushed us to get vinyl overlay (this part was overlooked till we decided to go through Small Claims when we went through the quotation thoroughly)

4. Changed our design without asking – I.e we agreed to cove lighting, but he removed it saying we changed our mind but it was him who forgot about it and have to show him WhatsApp proof. (This is just one of the many)

5. Agreed on a handover date with at least 90% done as we have to handover our old unit. (Already given 3 months to do the reno) But we moved in with carpentries without doors, non functional kitchen for 2 weeks.

6. Paintwork fail – as it’s a resale unit, it was agreed upon to redo all paintwork and do what it’s necessary. But his contractor or rather his instructions to his contractor was to paint over without scraping off old paintwork and applying sealant. That cause our paint to peel off and crack even before we moved in. Suspected that the contractor added water to the paint as the paint we purchased ourselves did not chip off. *name redacted* highly recommended us to use Momento Paint and assured that his painter was very experienced in this area, but the end result was totally different from what it should be. Had to chase multiple times to do touch up but still unable to rectify many paintwork

7. Tiles in the kitchen and toilets were not later properly. Uneven floorings and “holes” between tiles.

8. After the works are almost done, which was 1 month after move in, we chased him to go through the final invoice with us as we had quite a few changes (many omissions). But he kept delaying and refused to refund us the omissions saying that “he did not owe us anything, what is to be done were done”.

9. Contractors coming to us saying that he did not pay up, thus, the carpenter was not willing to install the remaining fixtures. Painter unwilling to touch up as he did not receive payment. And *name redacted*’s excuse was that we did not pay, but in fact, we made full payment 1 month before our agreed handover date. (We made full payment before handover was because upon work commencement, he said that he has to pay for materials etc and may have delay, and was too late for us to find a new ID by then we realised something was amiss. Moreover, we’ve already paid deposit which was what he said as non-refundable. In order not to delay our reno, we made full payment progressively by then in hopes to speed up our reno)

We went through Small Claims Tribunal (SCT) to get a refund on our omissions and works not rectified since he was not responding to our messages and calls. His partner, who was the sole proprietor of the company, *name redacted* attended the consultation. His side of the story from *name redacted* was that he has completed the works but we weren’t satisfied, so at first, he insisted on only doing rectification works to our satisfactory but not to refund us money. After showing him the proofs in front of the mediator, we agreed upon an amount for refund in instalments.

GIRL SAYS SOME MEN LIKE TO SAY THEIR ‘KKJ’ VERY BIG, BUT SMALL AF

0

Growing up, I heard many men boast about the size of their ‘kkj’. I used to believe the stories they told and the exaggerated descriptions of their manhood, thinking that men with larger ‘kkj’ must be more confident and successful.

As a woman, it was easy to be taken in by the bravado of these men and to be impressed by their claims.

Realised that many of them say until very big but actually much smaller

However, as I got older, I started to realize that many of these men who boasted about their ‘kkj’ size actually had much smaller ‘kkj’ than they claimed.

I was able to observe this firsthand when I would see them at the beach, or when I would date these men. The discrepancy between what they said and what was real was huge.

I started to think about the reasons why men might be inclined to boast about their ‘kkj’ size. I came to the conclusion that men who are insecure about their ‘kkj’ size feel the need to exaggerate and make themselves appear more attractive.

It’s like they’re trying to compensate for their lack of confidence by talking up their size.

Probably show off to make themself more ‘attractive’

These men are also likely trying to boost their self-esteem by making themselves feel more desirable and attractive. They think that if they can make themselves seem bigger and better in the eyes of others, then it will make them feel better about themselves.

It’s also possible that men who boast about their ‘kkj’ size are trying to impress other men. They may be trying to show off their manhood and prove that they are more masculine than other men. It’s a way of one-upping the competition and asserting their dominance.

Whatever the reason, the fact that many men boast about the size of their ‘kkj’ when they actually have small ones is a big problem. Not only is it dishonest and misleading, but it can also lead to unrealistic expectations in relationships.

When women hear these exaggerated claims, they may expect more than what’s actually there. This can lead to disappointment and relationship problems. It can also be damaging to a man’s self-esteem if he’s not able to live up to the expectations he’s created.

It is not about the size, but how they use it

The truth is, ‘kkj’ size doesn’t really matter as much as men like to think. It’s all about how you use it and how confident you are in the bedroom.

So for all the men out there who are tempted to boast about the size of their ‘kkj’, remember that it’s not the size that counts, it’s how you use it.

MAN TORTURED STRAY CATS TO DEATH, GETS AMBUSHED BY CAT LOVERS & FORCED TO EAT POOP

0

A man in China, surnamed Lee, had allegedly tortured a number of cats to death, before being ambushed by a group of cat lovers who slapped him, forced him onto his knees and made him eat faeces, according to Mothership.

Videos of the incident are circulating on Chinese social media platforms.

The Global Times reported that the man had apparently pretended to adopt several cats, bringing them back with him and torturing the helpless animals.

Lee, who works as an office worker in Suzhou, also recorded himself torturing the cats and uploaded the videos online, as well as making provocative comments.

Some of the cats that he tortured reportedly died.

Ambushed

He was found after someone saw a video that he posted about going to a commercial plaza to adopt a kitten.

The person who saw the video, alerted a group of cat lovers, with 8 of them coming together to confront Lee at the commercial plaza in Suzhou on 25 February, surrounding him.

Lee was then taken to another location where they slapped and kicked him, before he confessed to torturing the cats.

They also forced him to kneel on the ground before smearing poop on his face and forcing him to eat some of it, which is believed to be human faeces, according to some netizens on Weibo.

Another video of the incident surfaced online, showing Lee being restrained by two men and admitting to killing 5 cats.

The punishment lasted through the night and went viral online, and on 1 March, the police from the Wuzhong district in Suzhou said that they are investigating the incident.

They said that they will be dealing with both Lee and the group of cat lovers who ambushed him according to the law.

GIRL THINKS MEN & WOMEN CAN’T BE PURELY FRIENDS, SURE GOT SOMETHING ON

0

It’s a question that has been asked for centuries – can men and women ever truly just be friends? I’m a young woman and I’ve been pondering this for a while now.

I believe that men and women can never purely just be friends and I think there’s always some underlying feelings for each other.

Sure have some sparks somewhere

I think that men and women can never be just friends because of the natural attraction between them. There’s always a certain spark that ignites when two people of the opposite gender interact and it’s hard to ignore.

The flirting and banter, the chemistry – it all adds up and it’s hard to deny that there’s something more than friendship going on.

I also believe that men and women can never be just friends because of the typical gender roles that are expected.

Men are expected to be the pursuers and women are expected to be the pursued. Men are expected to make the first move and women are expected to wait and see what happens.

This dynamic creates an imbalance that makes it hard for the two to just be friends.

Finally, I think that men and women can never be just friends because of the emotions that come with being friends with someone of the opposite gender.

Confirm got something more than just liking as a friend

Friendship is a complicated emotion and it’s hard to deny the feelings of love and affection that come with it. When two people of the opposite gender are close, it’s hard to deny that there’s something more than friendship going on.

This is why I believe that men and women can never purely be just friends. There’s always an underlying attraction and emotion that come with being friends and it’s hard to ignore.

I think that it’s important to recognize these feelings and confront them instead of trying to deny them. I believe that by being honest with each other and recognizing these feelings, men and women can form meaningful and lasting relationships.
