Facebook user Shilin Chiu shared how she engaged a cleaning company to help her clean her home, but the cleaning quality was not up to standards.

She said that she hired their weekly cleaners to help clean her home, and her mirrors and glass windows ended up being blurry after the cleaning.

She also added that after the cleaners had mopped her floor, they left her dining chairs messily arranged and didn’t place the chairs back.

Chiu added that she sent feedback to the company but hasn’t received any response from them.

Here is what she said

Luce maintenance group cleaning services.

I tried their weekly cleaners and this was their standard. My mirrors and glass windows were left in blurry state, after mopping the floor my dining chairs were messily arranged and not placed back. Cleaner does not show basic knowledge of cleaning methods.

I sent in a feedback on the standard of cleaning job. It has been more than 24 hours and they have not been able to respond to my query.

Use their services with caution. There are many other cleaning agencies out there.

Facebook user Catherine Ang Seow Leng shared how she visited a Swensen’s outlet at Tampines mall for lunch and received a tray of dirty cutleries.

She noticed that the tray of cutleries were dirty was she received it, and she was “extremely put off by this disgusting sight.”

There were visible grimy food stains on the forks, and some dried up stains on the spoons.

Ang revealed that she asked to exchange the dirty tray of cutleries for a new one, and she ended up receiving cutleries that were even dirtier.

She added that when she returned home later that day, she had diarrhea and was pooping her “brains out”, adding that she assumes it was because of the food that she ate there.

Swensen’s Tampines Mall

Received this cutlery tray today at Swensen’s. I was extremely put off by this disgusting sight. Went to exchange it for a new cutlery tray and I received more dirty cutlery (4th pic, spoon)

Now it’s 4pm and I am at home sh*tting my brains out, not sure if it is because of the food we ate there but I assume so.”

Netizens’ comments

1. Swensens standard has dropped terribly! Had a bad experience over at Causewaypoint’s oulet and service was terrible at Plaza Sing
2. Could be when they stack the cutlery basket on top and the basket on the top has sauce/food residue at the bottom. Baskets need to be checked daily and washed weekly.
3. I think it is high time now to display the phone nos of the govt dept in charge on this matters on the wall of all restaurants .
4. Nowadays we bring our own plastic forks and spoons because I have encountered many times of dirty cutleries.
5. Yeah. Went to swensens causeway point too. My god. The ipad to order was sooooooooo dirty with fingerprints of 50 customers before me. Had to tell the servers please help to clean up the ipad. Still didn’t make much difference. LOL. Oh well. But those cutleries are another level.

A 49-year-old former teacher from a “top school” in Singapore pleaded guilty on 28 February to showing explicit adult videos to his 17-year-old ex-student, according to The Straits Times.

He had heard that the student was hurting himself to cope with stress, and he introduced the adult videos to him as a form of coping mechanism to help him de-stress.

He is set to return to court on 28 March for his sentencing, and faces up to 1 year of imprisonment and/or a fine if he’s convicted.

Background

The teacher was tutoring the victim at the time of the offence, helping him with the subject “civics”.

He received an email from the student’s mother on 28 January 2021, who told him about her son struggling with his negative thoughts and emotions.

The teacher then reached out to the mother and told her that the boy was also falling behind in class, and he also went to speak to the boy personally.

The victim revealed to the teacher that he was hurting himself as a way to cope with his stress, and the teacher then gave his phone number to the boy and told him to save it under a different name, saying that it was because their conversation was “not exactly legit”.

The boy trust the teacher and told his mother that he was thankful to have an adult that he could trust (referring to the teacher), to speak to about his problems.

On 2 February 2021, the man gave the victim a self-help book and asked him why was he hurting himself, to which the boy said that he needed a coping mechanism.

The man then told the boy that males of his age only have 2 ways to de-stress, taking medication or “stimulating” themselves.

He then asked the boy if he had ever watched adult videos, and introduced him to some websites.

On 6 February 2021, the teacher invited the boy over to his home for dinner and before eating, he complained about the heat and asked the boy if he wanted to take off his shirt.

The boy then changed into a singlet that the teacher offered him, as the latter watched him change.

He then kept pressuring the boy to drink alcohol with him during dinner, as he shared his personal experiences with intercourse.

He soon got himself drunk and started crying, placing his hands on the boy’s arm and chest, and moving them around for about 10 minutes.

He also showed the victim 3 adult videos on his mobile phone.

The next day (7 February 2021) the boy told his mother about what happened, and she then immediately told the school about it as well as filed a police report.

The teacher then resigned from his job that same month.

Photos of a block of Build-To-Order (BTO) flats in Tampines have been circulating on social media, with many netizens being creeped out by the fully-red paint job.

The walls, ceiling, floors and even the letterboxes of the estate were painted blood red, accompanied by dim lighting all around.

The development of the BTO flats, Tampines GreenVines, is a block newly built in Tampines North, with its TOP (temporary operation permit) being issued back in 1 June 2022.

The eerie-looking Block 640B which was painted red, stands out from the other block lobbies that were painted yellow and blue, and looks like it’s dripping with blood when viewed from afar.

The block looks warm and vibrant enough in the day, but come nightfall, the eeriness of the red walls and ceiling come to life, looking like a scene from a horror film.

The letterbox area was also seen to be painted in a similar red theme, although the incomplete paintwork on the floors made it look like a bloodstained murder crime scene.

Netizens’ comments

• New red light district 😂
• My block is the one in yellow. When i saw the red one, i was like “you’ve got to be kidding me”
• @Desmond_Lee_SG @Baeyyamkeng Hello sirs, hope you’ll have a look and have HDB review this. It’s really scary, how will residents go home every night..
• Going home late at night is so damn spooky
• If you look at basic colour theory, red has more positive connotations than negative ones
  • Colour theory your grandfather head ah
