MAN BOUGHT MOTORCYCLE WITH PROBLEMS FOR $15K, DEALER OFFERS $11K TO TRADE IN

A netizen on Facebook, Michelle Low Ys, shared how she bought a Honda CB200x motorcycle for $15,500 back in February earlier this year and it started stalling in only the 2nd day of usage.

The bike was then sent for repair numerous time and until now the problem is still persisting.

She added that they requested for an exchange of another motorcycle or a refund, but the motorcycle dealer offered them $11,300 to trade it back in or they will keep repairing the bike under their 1-year warranty.

Here is what she said

Does anyone have experience on purchasing Honda CB200x with stalling issue ?stall while riding, stalling while neutral.

This bike was purchased in February 2022 and started to have stalling issue since 2nd day of usage.

The bike has been sent for repair a numerous times and until now the problem is still persist.

We requested for exchange another bike or refund and the motorcycle dealer ridiculously offered $11300 (purchased @ $15500) for trade in or else they will keep repairing the bike within their so called 1 year warranty.

We will be losing nearly 7k-8k if we wanted to trade in for another bike. The bike was sent to their workshop for nearly 11 times range from 1 day -14 days for each repair.

We hope to get some advices from this group on what should we do to protect ourself -as a consumer. Lemon Law cannot help as this bike is used for Food Delivery.

P/S: anyone with the same issue under Honda CB200X. pls pm me.

GF UNHAPPY THAT BF’S FEMALE FRIEND TALKS TO HIM ABOUT SHAVING DOWNSTAIRS

GF UNHAPPY THAT BF’S FEMALE FRIEND TALKS TO HIM ABOUT SHAVING DOWNSTAIRS

How do people deal with their boyfriend’s girl best friend??

I’ve noticed over 3 years that my bf and his girl best friend talks almost everyday. He claims that because of religion, he will never date her. I’ve met her before and I do find that she’s quite nice. She does try to include me everytime she hangs out with him.

Unfortunately, I do think she oversteps her boundaries, as a single girl talking to an attached man? For example, she talks to my bf about shaving her pubic hair & also updates & complains to him constantly about her trip etc when she’s on holiday- abit like what a gf would do?

Am I thinking too much? The reason why I suddenly thought of this after 3 years is that recently we have talked about getting married. As a gf, I guess maybe I haven’t thought too much into it- but as a wife? Would I be ok if my husband has a girl best friend who keeps talking to him all the time and updating him about her life?? Is this normal? But yet I feel it’s not my position to make him “unfriend” his girl best friend…

Here are what netizens think:

  • Before being in rs with you, if he had gf or bff that’s totally fine. It means he knows how to handle & take care of girl’s feelings. Advantageous for you.But once he’s with you, he should’ve put a boundary or minimised those bff things. It’s riskier for you to let them be so free with each other.Tell your bf you’re not comfortable with him hanging out with his bff. If he listens to you, he’s yours. Otherwise just leave him.
  • Wow so many people do not trust their partners. Different people talk about different stuff. Your partner is openly sharing with you what he talks about with his best friend. You wouldn’t be worried if it’s a guy. He made a choice to be with you. If you still don’t trust him then don’t be with him.Also, people need to communicate with their partners instead of guessing or asking strangers on the internet. Go to couples therapy if you don’t know how to breach certain subjects. It’s fine. Some topics/discussion could use a third, neutral party to facilitate.
  • My husband got a lot of girls bff since I knew him. But none of them talks about their private parts. The only time I heard was when i was about to give birth, and they were sharing about their labours, and the girls were joking about the shaved area. But, you can tell by their regular conversations la. Trust your guts. Mine, even his girls bff talks rubbish, but it has becomes my friend as well, and you know they talked like that.

ONG YE KUNG – NEW OMICRON WAVE IN NEXT 1-2 MTHS, GET YOUR BOOSTER SHOTS

Singapore Minister of Health Ong Ye Kung posted a video on his TikTok account @ongyekung two days ago, warning of the next arriving Omicron wave.

He urged people to get their booster shots to protect themselves and their loved ones.

New Omicron wave in the next 1-2 months

In his TikTok video, he said “Hi guys, in the next 1-2 months, we expect a new Omicron wave – but not to worry, with vaccination we can all be safe.”

“Here is what you need to know”.

“When Covid-19 vaccines were first developed, they were designed for the wild-type virus. Now that it (the virus) has evolved into Delta and now Omicron, two doses is not enough.”

Three noses needed

“You need three doses: primary series plus booster.”

“It makes a difference whether you have taken 0, 1, 2, or 3 shots. if you are a senior 60 years old and above, the chance of you ending up in ICU or dying is:

If you have not taken the first two shots, 4 in 100.
If you have taken the first two shots but not taken your booster, 1 in 100.
If you have taken all three shots, 3 in 1000, that’s more than 3 times less chance.”

80,000 still yet to take boosters

“Currently for seniors 60 years old and above, there are still 80,000 of you who have not taken your boosters. You need to take your boosters.”

So don’t delay anymore, go get your booster shots. You can walk into any vaccination centre and MOH will also be sending our mobile vaccination teams soon.”

ELDERLY WOMAN KEPT SON’S DEAD BODY AT HDB HOME FOR OVER A WEEK

An elderly woman in her 80s kept her 54-year-old son’s dead body at home for more than a week after he passed away, as she was believed to have been reluctant to give up her son.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the incident happened at an HDB unit on the fifth floor of Block 85, Commonwealth Close.

Speaking to SMDN, a neighbour of the mother and son pair said that the man was emaciated and would usually come out of his home at 8 or 9am to water the plants and hang the clothes out to dry.

The resident hadn’t seen the man for about a week, not expecting him to have passed away.

Body removed

The deceased’s dead body was removed by the police at about 6.45pm, and another neighbour told SMDN that the elderly woman reportedly has a son and daughter.

The Singapore Police Force confirmed that they were alerted to a case of unnatural death at 12.38pm, and that they have ruled out murder in their preliminary investigations.

However, the police are still investigating the case.

Strong stench

Another neighbour shared that a strong stench could be smelled from the house earlier in the week, but they dismissed it at first, before calling the police after the smell got worse.

They were worried that something bad had happened to their neighbours.

The police reportedly waited outside the flat for an hour after arriving because nobody was answering the door, and a locksmith was then brought in to open the door.

Body rotting and covered in houseflies

The deceased was found lying face down in the living room and was in a state of decomposition, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

A neighbour told the Chinese paper that the old woman started crying after the police officers entered the home, probably because she was unwilling to let her son be taken away.

SMDN reported that the deceased’s body in the living room was covered in houseflies.

TOP STUDENT WHO FILMED WOMEN IN TOILETS JAILED 1 YEAR AND FINED

A student at a top UK university has pleaded guilty and has been sentenced to jail and a fine.

Chua is jailed for 1 year and fined SGD$2,500.

According to Today News, His defence lawyer stated that: “He has a good future ahead of him. He has got the propensity and interest to further his studies. He may still yet be able to contribute to the community at large when he grows older.”

This reminds us of the previous case of Terence Siow Kai Yuan.

Background:

In the course of 3 years, 23-year-old Colin Chua Yi Jin was convicted of insulting a woman’s modesty by filming 12 women.

In court, Chua pleaded guilty and admitted after facing 7 counts of insulting a woman’s modesty and one of possessing obscene videos. Initially, there was a gag order which was used to protect the identity of the victims.

But 11 of the victims all wanted the gag order removed and the perpetrator behind the films was exposed.

A string of offences 2015 – 2019

Filmed 18-year-old JC student showering in a hotel room at a hotel party, so footage later got viral and the woman was informed by the principal about it. The footage lasted 14 minutes.

In 2016, Filmed a 19-year-old woman who was using Chua’s toilet during a Christmas gathering.

In 2018 filmed two other woman urinating in his home at another party.

Filmed a student at a university in UK, offered the victim a tour of the school and when she was using the toilet, Chua filmed her urinating.

His home was eventually raided by the Police and they found over 16 videos and another 124 upskirt footage in his possession.

PARKROYAL PICKERING HOTEL REJECTED 2 WOMEN’S WEDDING BOOKING, APOLOGISES

Parkroyal Collection Pickering Hotel rejected a same-gender couple who wanted to book their hotel for their wedding.

The hotel later issued an apology on Instagram, posting a photo of the words “we are sorry” and apologising in the caption.

They said in their caption “Thank you for your patience as we seek to understand this unfortunate mistake and misinformation from one of our team members at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering.

We are an inclusive hotel, and we are truly sorry for the disappointment and inconvenience this may have caused.

We have since reached out to the couple and will do our best to assist them with their special occasion at our hotel.

Exposed

The incident was first brought to light by Prout, who shared a screenshot of an email from a “5-star hotel that neighbours Hong Lim Park” on 20 June.

A hotel representative had told the couple “I am sorry to inform you that the hotel does not allow same-sx couples to have wedding ceremony and celebration due to the regulation.”

Prout called the incident “particularly disappointing”, as members of the LGBTQ+ community often patronised their hotel.

The platform added that the hotel “clearly has no issue capitalising on the annual pride event held at Hong Lim Park”.

Apology accepted

The couple then said via Prout that they had accepted the hotel’s apology and appreciated their move to “allow for such celebrations moving forward”.

They also understandably highlighted that they no longer wished to hold their wedding at Parkroyal Collection Pickering.

S’PORE MAN SPENT 7 LONG HOURS JUST TO DRIVE BACK TO S’PORE FROM JOHOR

A Singaporean man, @v.raj___ shared on TikTok about how he was stuck in traffic on the Second Link for three hours after reaching there at 2pm on 19 June while trying to return to Singapore.

He then gave up waiting and made a u-turn, and decided to re-enter Singapore via the Woodlands Checkpoint.

He finally cleared immigration and returned to Singapore at 9pm.

The heavy jam took place in the afternoon and he was stuck with mother motorists who were also trying to return to Singapore.

He replied to a netizen in the comments saying that he was at the Second Link land crossing at 2pm where traffic was crawling for hours.

Needed to catch a breather

The jam was so bad that the man and his friends alighted from their car to catch a breather, eating a packet of putu ayam on the hood of their car.

Some of the motorists also allegedly urinated at the grass patch at one point after waiting for so long, and he helped to direct the traffic.

He eventually gave up waiting and u-turned, driving to the Causeway to enter Singapore through the Woodlands Checkpoint.

He said that the jam at the Causeway was not as bad as at the Second Link and he managed to return to Singapore by 9pm, after 7 hours.

LAWRENCE WONG – 2% INCREASE IN GST WILL GO AHEAD AS PLANNED

LAWRENCE WONG – 2% INCREASE IN GST WILL GO AHEAD AS PLANNED

Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said on 21 June that the 2% GST increase will go ahead as planned due to an increase in Singapore’s spending needs, in part largely due to rising costs in healthcare and an ageing population.

Wong highlighted that the increase was debated heavily during the Budget and he noted that the government has already made alternative measures such as income tax, property tax and luxury car taxes.

However, GST still has to be raised because those are still not enough.

Additionally, Wong said that Singapore is not only facing inflation and cost of living, but also climate change, an ageing population and an increasingly divided world.

He said that for Singapore to be in a strong position fiscally, we must press ahead with the economic reforms to address the problems.

Wong also said that the GST increase was pushed back as late as possible, and also staggered the GST increase in two steps.

Under the budget, a package to offset the impact of the GST increase was also put in place, with most Singaporean households not feeling the impact of the GST increase for at least 5 years.

Low-income groups will also not feel the impact of the GST increase for a decade.

The GST hike, from 7% to 9%, was originally meant to take place between 2021 to 2025, and was first announced by Heng Swee Keat back in 2018.

Heng announced in 2020 that the hike would not take place in 2021, after taking into consideration the projections of revenue and expenditure, as well as the economy.

Heng then provided more details in Budget 2021, saying that the GST hike was likely to be implemented sometime from 2022 to 2025, and that it will happen sooner rather than later.

WOMAN WRONGLY ACCUSED BY JOB INTERVIEWER OF LYING IN HER CV

WOMAN WRONGLY ACCUSED BY JOB INTERVIEWER OF LYING IN HER CV

Today in a job interview I was told that I’m lying in my CV.

This started with them opening the website of a formal job and finding a name I did not mention, and I had to tell them that if they look up that name they will find that this person left that job, and is no longer there, their LinkedIn can show that. They told me that I’m lying about it.

They undermined everything I did, and all my experiences and told me that I’m not trained to do them.

Even though I packed up each and everything in that cv with proper resources and reasons of why i ended up learning x or y. And reasons why a certain job was demanding more than my role.

They ended up telling me that I’m lying about it and that they do not buy my story.

I do not understand it, is that the standard way of interviewing nowadays? Being extremely disrespectful and undermining my skills.

Why do they talk about inclusion if they do not understand that some of us had a different work environment and had to work our way up doing multiple roles..? Or if they would tell me that I’m making up things.

I just needed to vent. I’m not lying or making up things in my cv. I do not need to do so.

Netizen’s comments

You dodged a bullet. Take it as a blessing and walk away. If they can treat you like that when you are NOT an employee, imagine how they will treat you when you are one.

Fix the links and info in your CV and get ready for the next one.

Good luck!

This effectively means that who he thought was his son, is actually his uncle.

In his video, he said “Found out my son was really my uncle, my granddad was f—— my girl the whole time we were staying with him.”

“Can’t believe I expected more from a man that had a whole other family around the corner from my granny house.”

The netizen then shared how he found out about the affair after looking through her phone while she was playing with their son (or now-uncle).

He described how he found “years’ worth of messages and pictures and explicit stuff”.
