AUNTIE SCOLD GIRL IN MRT FOR HAVING TATTOOS, CALLS HER A “BAD INFLUENCE”

0

A girl shared how she was on her way to school in the MRT and minding her own business when suddenly an auntie who had a child with her, scolded her for having tattoos.

She asked the girl to “move elsewhere” because she doesn’t want her child to “grow up and ruin his body like your arm”, and that she doesn’t want any “bad influence” around him.

The girl then relented and moved away from the crazy woman.

Here is the story:

So today when I was on MRT on the way to campus, there was this Chinese lady mid-30s (not sure) and her kid, he was a small boy sitting next to her on the reserved seat using an iPad. He was wearing primary school uniform I think. Well cause there was no seat, I stood leaning at the glass pane area next to the reserved seat.

I was wearing spag top and jeans, so my arm tattoos were visible. On my arm I had many anime tattoos, the bigger one being a sukuna tattoo (from jujutsu kaisen). Well, long story short the kid saw my tattoo through the glass panel and was pointing at my tattoo, telling his mum pretty loudly “mummy its the sukuna from the anime, so cool”

I heard it but cause awkward af plus he wasn’t really talking to me, so I pretended like I didnt hear and continued using my phone while the kid was poking on the glass looking at my tattoo, and talking to his mum about it.

Well, honestly I didnt mind that much, I chose to do tattoos on visible parts of my body so I was prepared to get judged/looks, etc. And I guess in SG, people, especially women with many and/or sleeve tattoos are a stigma, much more its fucking anime tattoo sleeve.

What kinda surprised me was that her mum changed seats with the kid, tapped me and kinda whispered to me “can you move elsewhere, I dont want my kid to grow up to ruin his body like your arm so I dont want any bad influence around him”

… I didn’t wanna make a fuss so I said “er ok sorry” and moved to another side. But BRUH, inside I was thinking to myself, how am I a bad influence when the tattoo is on ME… plus I dont know them at all. T_T

Can’t believe there are people still like this in 2022….. Kinda sad even till now there’s a stigma around tattoos, much more especially if you’re a woman. Honestly, a really crappy way to start off 2022. :/

Meh, just wanted to share a bad experience. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

edit: didn’t expect this to kinda blow up :O please dont give me awards here because it’s an alt, a throwaway!! save the $$ to buy yourselves some food 😀

also noticed a few asking for my tattoo picture, I’m not very comfortable posting here. but you can dm me and I dont mind sending it there!”

Editor’s note: Should’ve told the woman any children with a mother like her is doomed.

MAN BOUGHT AIRPODS FROM LAZADA, RETURNED 4 TIMES STILL SPOIL

Lazada sell damaged device in LazMall official Apple store, and refuse to return the device despite Apple proof that the device is damaged!

I bought an AirPods Max on September 27, 2021 from the LazMall official Apple store in Lazada, after I used it for less than 2 weeks, it stopped working completely, then I sent it to the Apple Genius Bar for repair, about 2 weeks later, I got my device again, however, it broke within a week, this was repeated 4 times in total, until Apple put me in touch with phone support, They think the device is eligible for a refund, but since I bought it at Lazada, I need to contact Lazada.

Because the return period has expired, I contacted customer service, they helped me start the return process, I asked them several times if I need to provide other materials such as Apple’s repair record, they either didn’t reply, or they said no need, only “Item is physically damaged” is written in the reason for return, which I don’t think is very appropriate, but I can’t change it.

On January 3, 2022, they received my returned device and said they would reply within 3 business days, however, it took 8 days, and they didn’t get in touch with me or even ask me The problem of the device, directly said “item not damaged as claimed by buyer” and refused my refund. In fact, I have Apple’s official test report and repair record, which can prove that this device is damaged.

I contacted customer service more than 10 times after that, but they still didn’t give me a chance to submit any proof or even description about the problem at all, just said that it had been escalation, made me wait for a email from the “relevant team”, and refused to tell me when I would get a reply, I have not received any reply from the “relevant team” to this day.

Another thing worries me is I’m not in Singapore now and if they send the device back to the original address, no one can pick it up. Although the customer service said that the device will not be sent back for the time being, for the sake of insurance, I still provided the address of a friend, and they said no worry, as a result, I received a photo from the courier this morning, the device was placed at my door.

This is my worst shopping experience, I won’t believe Lazada anymore because the products they send you are just what they think is “normal”, even in the official Apple store, this is total fraud. They believe in themselves so much that they don’t accept official test reports from Apple. I just want to get my money back and uninstall it right away

THIEF FLED TO MSIA IN 2003 BUT GUILT STRUCK SO RETURNS TO SURRENDER

0

62 y.o Haron Ismail, who was 43 at the time of the crime he committed 19 years ago, came back to Singapore to surrender for his doings in 2017 as he was apparently ‘living with the guilt’ all this while.

He had fled to Malaysia in 2003 after committing housebreaking while his accomplices were arrested.

In Malaysia, he remained a free man for 14 years.

His crimes

Haron, together with two more accomplices, broke into offices at Yen San building in Orchard Road back in 24 Nov 2002 to steal cash.

One of his accomplice stole $20,000 from a safe while Haron acted as the driver and the other accomplice acted as a lookout.

They escaped in a van and they split the loot amongst themselves.

On 5 Jan 2003, they committed a second crime.

This time, they went to Adelphi Building on Coleman Street where one of his accomplice broke in to an office using a chisel and stole $500 from a safe, $10,000 in foreign currencies and two gold coins worth about $2,000.

This time, Haron acted as the driver again while the other accomplice acted as a lookout.

On 29 April 2003, they reenacted their modus operandi again at Great World City where they took $127.25 and several documents.

Fled to Malaysia

Upon knowing that his accomplices were arrested, Haron fled to Malaysia and never returned for 14 years until 3 July 2017 as he was guilt stricken and had ‘no peace of mind’ being at large.

When he returned to Woodlands Checkpoint, he was arrested but release on bail one day later.

His accomplices were already sentenced to six years jail and another for 12 years preventive detention together with 24 strokes of the cane.

Both of them have already been released as of today.

Prosecution findings

The prosecutor asked for between four years and nine months of jail to six years for Haron, with the aggravating factor being he fled and only returned to face the music after 14 years.

As Haron is above 50 and cannot be caned, the prosecutor asked for another three to six months of jail to replace the strokes of cane that he should have received.

Haron pleaded in mitigation for leniency, claiming that he came back to surrender because he did not have a peace of mind everyday while he was at large and is suffering from diabetes and heart problems now.

While waiting for his court case, he also took the initiative for a change and took up licenses in security and transport.

Penalties

Under the law in Singapore, he could have received a jail term of two to 14 years with caning for housebreaking by night to commit theft.

For housebreaking to commit theft, he could have received a jail term of up to 10 years and caned.

He was ultimately spared caning due to his age.

MAN BOOKED “GIRL” END UP ASKED TO BUY ITUNES CARD

A netizen shared the story online about how he took action with his “little brother” and almost lost $100.

It is never safe to randomly book this kind of service and always be wary when it involves money. Doing so could get you in trouble as most of these services are obviously illegal.

If your caught in the act you will be faced with multiple “kopi sessions” with the authorities.

Here is the story:

Got to know a contact number online on a 23 girl providing special service $100/90mins.made an appointment & the Address was given at a Location near 7-Eleven. Upon reaching the location, Need to take a photo of the exact location of the girl.

She claimed that someone would call to verify my identity.

In less than a minute, a Chinese guy call to buy an iTunes card ($100) and pass it to the girl later when met. I told him to cancel the appointment and hung up. Thereafter, I received many threatening messages and photos.

Nothing was lost except for the unknown call coming in at least 10 times a day.

 Friends, out there, please stay safe & always think of your family before you regret it!

Scams

This kind of technique is common and one who did not think with his brain but use his primal instincts for decision making often get scam.

The best way to avoid getting scam is educating yourself.

GIRL “DOING IT” WITH BF AT SCHOOL CAMPUS, NOTICED SOMEONE WATCHING THEM

0

A girl shared how she was misbehaving with her boyfriend in campus and noticed someone watching them doing it.

Here is the story:

“Hi, I really need suggestions!!

I have been staying in campus for more than a year and occasionally , my boyfriend would come by to “chill”. 

One afternoon during the act, I noticed a pair of eyes looking through the window curtains . The person ran off as I spotted him/her and we were unable to identify the person.

As my BF is an influencer, we are worried that someone recognised and followed him to my room. We are worried that our acts were recorded and leaked online, especially since he is an influencer. 

I also think I would get evicted if I report to the management! What can we do?”

Netizen’s replies:

  • Unless your boyfriend is Xiaxue’s or Mr Brown’s level, I wouldn’t worry too much.
    Also, I’m pretty sure if you get caught by the school authorities, the consequences can be bad. Maybe you should consider meeting in other places. Since your boyfriend is an influencer, I’m sure he can afford to pay for other places.
  • Are you Titus gf?
  • Next time you do it, and you see the pairs of eyes, just shout, “Don’t just look, come join in.” Then you will know the identity of the person who peeped.
