0

Mockridge Philip Richard, a 54-year-old British national who is a Singapore PR, was charged in court earlier today after a warrant of arrest was issued against him.

He was originally supposed to be charged in December for not wearing a mask at a few locations, but he failed to show up in court.

The arrest warrant was then issued on Tuesday and he was then remanded and showed up in court today via video link.

Mockridge was charged with failing to wear a mask on 3 occasions, namely:

  • At Sengkang MRT station on 26 November at around 10.15om.
  • At Serangoon MRT station on 19 Demceber 2020 at around 10.50pm
  • At 180 Kitchener Road on 16 May 2021 at around 8.50pm.

The prosecutor then asked the judge for a week’s adjournment to complete investigations as well as for the Attorney-General’s Chambers to submit additional charges – Mockridge had also allegedly committed further offences on 11 January.

Mockridge asked the judge if he could pay his bail himself, to which District Judge Lorraine Ho told him that he couldn’t, he needs to find a Singaporean bailor to do so.

His case has been adjourned to 19 January.

The four customers were:

  • Muhammad Ariffin Sahdan,
  • Shehzel Selamat,
  • Nyla Muhammad Kamal and

WOMAN TOOK IN 16 Y.O GIRL WHO RAN AWAY, PROSTITUTED HER FOR 4 MONTHS

0

A 34-year-old woman pleaded guilty to one count of intentionally aiding multiple men to obtain adult services of the victim, instigating someone to destroy electronic records that contained evidence against her, and indecent behavior in a public place.

She also pleaded guilty to two counts of Covid-19 breaches, with another 6 more charges being considered during her sentencing.

She was sentenced to 3 years in jail on Monday (10 January).

The identities of the parties involved cannot be named due to a court order protecting the victim’s identity.

What happoened?

The girl had run away from a children’s home on 3 July 2018 and the woman met her through her goddaughter – the victim then stayed with her in a flat in Chai Chee with a few other women.

The people who lived in the flat addressed the woman as “mama” because she bought necessities and food for them.

The woman was working as a prostitute and she advertised the victim’s services on Locanto between December 2018 to April 2019, claiming that she was 21 years old when she knew that she was only 16.

The victim was also a virgin at the time.

Prospective customers would contact the woman, who then sent them photos of the girl and arranged for them to meet.

She would then accompany the girl to the meet-up locations, including hotels and their flat where she provided explicit services for $100 for 30 minutes, $200 for an hour and $500 for 2 hours.

Some of the services were provided without condoms.

The woman also slapped the victim on at least one occasion over a customer dispute.

The victim handed all her earning to the woman (she earned up to $700 a day) and received an allowance.

It is unclear how the offences were discovered, although court documents did mention someone calling the police.

The woman was then arrested in May 2019 and she told her flatmate to delete evidence on her phone linking her to the victim.

She also broke Covid-19 rules on two occasions by providing service as a staircase landing.

WOMAN’S HUSBAND LOST $1.8K TO SCAMMER PRETENDING TO BE FROM GUCCI

0

A netizen shared how her husband fell victim to a scam where he was promised a commission for helping them to transfer money.

Here is the post.

“My husband saw a post on Facebook about earning money by transfering money, with each transaction paying a 6% commission.

1st time and 2nd time they will pay back you the refund + commission 6%. ( all below $200 ).

3rd time : they will ask you transfer above $400.

After your transfer is done, they ask you need to do it 3 times.

After you’ve done it 3 times. They ask you need to pay total of 7 times to get back refund and the commission of 6%.

And my husband believed and transferred a total of $1760 before he realized he was cheated. 

We then made a police report.

I only hope people don’t believe anymore about transactions that can earn money. 

=> All people have money, if they are real businesses they will have money to transfer, don’t need you to help transfer.

=> If the job was easy they will ask their family, their relatives do. Don’t need strangers. “

GIRL DATES 4 GUYS, MAKES THEM BUY HER THE SAME WALLET TO SELL 3 AWAY

0

A girl shared a story online on how she was dating four guys at a time during a period of her life and what she made them do for her.

The four guys were oblivious to each other’s existence and all of them doted on her and loved her.

On her birthday a particular year, she fancied a wallet and made all four of them buy her the same one, with the idea that she would take three of them to sell away to keep the money and use one of them.

This way, she could keep her boyfriends satisfied as they will all thought that she is using the wallet that they have bought for her.

Here is the story

“I am a girl who is dating four different guys at the same time.

All four guys are officially my boyfriends or so they thought, and they do not know of each other’s existence.

On my birthday a particular year, I requested that all four of them buy me the same purse which I had been eyeing for a long time.

I was in need of some cash and that time and had hatched an evil plan to earn some money from selling three of the wallets and keeping one for my own usage.

This plan works beautifully since all of them did not know of each other’s existence, and they all thought that the wallet that I was using was the one ‘they bought for me’ and so was very satisfied

Thankfully, all of them complied to my request.

Now I am thinking of what should I ask for for my next upcoming birthday.”

GUY CHEATS ON GF REPEATEDLY & EVEN HAS FEELINGS FOR ANOTHER GIRL

0

A guy shared a story online on how he has actually been constantly cheating on his girlfriend during their short ‘breaks’ from one another and even sometimes on normal occasions.

His girlfriend actually found out about some of his cheating incidents but still believes that he will change.

Even though the guy still has feelings for his girlfriend, he loves the thrill of talking and spending time with another girl.

Here is the story

“Cheated on my girlfriend a bunch of times. Some were during “breaks” (1-2 day periods of no contact), some were when things were going just fine. She found out about some of these incidents, but still insisted that I could change and that we can still be happy together. The times when I cheated, I never felt emotionally attached to the girls AT ALL, it was purely carnal.

A month or so ago, I went on holiday with some male friends and cheated on her again, this time with a girl who had a boyfriend. There was no full service, we stopped at mouth exercise and decided that it was probably best not to go all the way.

The horrible thing is this is the first time I’ve gotten kind of emotionally attached to one of these girls, and she’s also constantly telling me that she misses me. It’s a pretty messed up situation. I still have feelings for my girlfriend, but sometimes I feel like I would be happier to talk/spend time with the other girl than her.”

MAN THINKS HE RUINED HIS PARENT’S MARRIAGE FROM A MISTAKE HE MADE IN PRI SCH

0

I think I ruined my parents marriage and feel guilty.

I’m 30+ this year and was a bully back in primary school. No excuses. I was an ahole, etc,etc… Back then, I made the unlucky mistake of picking on a rich boy, whom we shall refer to as Q. I didnt know Q is rich, which primary school kid knows the concept of rich/poor? Q accidentally fell and broke his arm.

The school called both sides’ parents down for counseling. Q’s dad is some high flyer in the private sector and did not have any intention of mediation. He came to inform my parents that he intends to file a civil lawsuit, claiming medical expenses and damages to the family, he also showed us copies of medical reports. My parents pleaded on the basis that

1. They were willing to pay for the medical bills (private hospital somemore)

2. If the verdict is in Q dad’s favour, my parents wont have money to pay him anyway, they would be bankrupted and Q dad wont get the money either way.

3. My mum was an office admin and my dad was a taxi driver, they don’t earn much.

Q’s dad looked straight at me and said “I’m not after the money, I have money. I’m trying to teach you a lesson.” It has been 20 years but I will never forget his look. He was out for my family’s blood. My dad caned and screamed at me that night.

The lawsuit ruled in Q dad’s favour. We had to pay for our own lawyers fees, his lawyers fees, the medical bills and Q’s dads loss of income (he had to take off work few days to counsel Q). Thank god it didnt bankrupt us but it devastated my parents’ finances.

They controlled me extremely tightly after in sec school, which contributed to the strained relationship between my parents and me. Their relationship also began to change. My mum began calling my dad “useless” or not being able to earn money or “have connections” or being “only a taxi driver”. Parents divorced almost 10 years ago.

This guilt is eating me. Had I not been bad, maybe money will be ok. Maybe my parents will still have their marriage. I am not the same person I was 20 years ago, but my family is still feeling the effects of that “punishment”. Isnt the punishment disproportionate? my family is broken up over what some stupid primary school students did? How is this fair? just because the other side has money? Q is prolly over it and leading a good life.

I cant help but think the rich really know how to turn every situation into their advantage and bully us normal people.
