MAN ARRESTED IN QATAR FOR WEARING KEDAH FC’S TEAM JERSEY – LOOKED LIKE LGBTQ+ FLAG

0

A Malaysian man from Muar, Johor; Zulfadli Ahmad Tajudin, was denied entry into the Al-Byat Stadium in Qatar during the World Cup.

He was wearing a football jersey of Malaysia’s Kedah FC, which the authorities thought was the LGBTQ+ community’s Pride flag.

He spoke to Dari Tepi Padang and shared that he flew all the way from Muar to Qatar to watch the World Cup, and was disappointed with Qatar’s security.

He was detained after being denied entry into the stadium.

He was wearing the jersey of Kedah Darul Aman Football Club, which had a colourful checkered design, and he had no idea why he was being questioned at first.

He was detained by the security officials for more than 30 minutes before they told him that he was being suspected of supporting the LGBTQ+ community because of his jersey.

The security then took photos of his jersey and sent it to the management, before interrogating him further.

He had to Google the Kedah FC football team’s jersey and show the security to prove that his jersey was legit and that he was not representing the LGBTQ+ community.

But the security was still not satisfied with it as they asked him to continue waiting, and he was eventually released and given permission to watch the match later that night.

INFAMOUS BEOW TAN HAS CHARGES AGAINST HER WITHDRAWN, GETS “STERN WARNING”

0

The now-infamous Tan Beow Hiong, who made the headlines last year for making insulting remarks towards other races in public, was previously charged in June last year with public nuisance and committing acts that jeopardise racial and religious harmony in Singapore.

The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) said on 14 December that after “careful consideration of the facts and circumstances,” she has had all three of her charges withdrawn and given a stern warning, according to The Straits Times and Channel NewsAsia.

Tan was granted a discharge amounting to an acquittal on 13 December, meaning that she cannot be charged again with the same offences.

The AGC said that they decided to give her a stern warning and withdraw the charges against her after considering the circumstances.

Tan was found to be suffering from a delusionary disorder that impaired her social judgement and amplified her prejudices.

She also refused treatment under a mandatory treatment order, lacking awareness of her own condition.

AGC also added that Tan had spent 2 weeks in remand, which would’ve been considered by the court during her sentencing if she had been convicted.

LOANSHARKS SET FIRE TO DEBTOR’S HOME, END UP SET FIRE TO THE WRONG HOUSE

A Johor woman who is working in Singapore had allegedly owed money to loansharks, and the loansharks wanted to teach her a lesson but apparently got it wrong.

The incident happened in Johor Bahru.

They petrol-bombed what they thought was her house in JB, but it turned out to be her neighbours’ home instead, according to China Press.

The family suffered damages worth about SGD$3.000 and their car, electric front door and aircon compressor were damaged.

They are also not able to return home because their home has been cordoned off by the police, and the electricity supply has also been cut off.

The wife of the innocent owner of the home, Hu Qiushuang and her son Chen Zibin, held a press conference about the incident.

The 18-year-old Chen said that at the time, he was at home with his 15-year-old brother while his mother was overseas.

They were sleeping when they suddenly house an explosion and saw the front of their house on fire, before escaping through the back door because they couldn’t open the electric front door.

A neighbour then called the authorities after noticing the commotion and the fire was then put out.

Their CCTV footage was then reviewed and it showed a man who was believed to have been sent by loansharks, setting fire to their Johor home.

The family also found a piece of paper that was left at their house by the loanshark, who was actually targeting their neighbour instead.

The neighbour’s family didn’t admit that their daughter owed money to the loansharks, until they went to the police station, where she revealed that she had borrowed a huge sum of money.

She claimed to have paid off her debt but was still being harassed.

MAN JAILED: THREW BICYCLE FROM 14TH FLOOR HDB AFTER ARGUMENT WITH HIS WIFE

0

On the evening of January 23, 2021, Mohammad Noor Iszuan Noordin, 26, got into an argument with his wife about the attire for their upcoming wedding reception.

In a fit of anger, Noor threw his 25kg yellow bicycle down from the 14th floor of a Housing Board block located in Choa Chu Kang Crescent.

An argument over wedding attire

According to CNA, Noor pleaded guilty to one count of committing a rash act endangering the personal safety of others and was sentenced to a month’s jail on December 15.

After a person who witnessed the incident contacted the Police for help.

During the investigation, Noor initially lied to the investigators.

The prosecutor argued that the potential harm caused by throwing the bicycle from such a height and at a time when foot traffic has high warranted a sentence of six weeks’ jail.

The court also took into account Noor’s diagnosis of borderline intellectual functioning.

For penalties of rash act, he could have been jailed a maximum of 6 months and/or fined a maximum of S$2,500.

Previously the Police said:

“The police have zero tolerance against acts that endanger the lives or safety of others and will not hesitate to take action against those who blatantly disregard the law,”.

MAN CALLS UOB TO REPLACE HIS CARD, BUT LINE GETS CUT OFF, SAY WILL CALL BACK BUT NEVER

UOB hotline was disappointing…

My bank card information was stolen by foreign websites in the middle of the night, and then kept receiving a one-time verification code, it should be that someone kept trying to use it again.

So I immediately called the hotline of UOB, waited for nearly 10 minutes, and finally got through the manual customer service (voice prompt manual customer service is busy), you can freeze the card, but if you need to replace the same card number, you have to transfer to another department, and wait, about 10 minutes.

The computer voice prompted twice manual busy and directly hung up?!

Well, the next day to the nearby UOB bank, the counter lady is very gentle, the service is also very good, helped to replace a temporary card, because the frozen card has to pay insurance and children’s tuition, so it needs to be replaced, but the bank counter cannot

Still have to call the hotline, and it is a long wait, and it is transferred to other departments, and it is manually busy and hung up directly!!!

After applying for a temporary card, opening another credit card, and failing to call the hotline for more than two hours, the counter lady couldn’t stand it and used the internal phone to call in, and the person on the phone said to call me back within a day.

Well, leave the bank and wait for the call, Friday to now Monday, no one called back, got up at six o’clock this morning to call the hotline, this time the manual answer is relatively fast, also said to call me back, however, I don’t know wait until when???

I think that UOB is such a big bank, the system setting is very strange: go to the counter in person can not handle business.

The authority on the phone is actually greater than the authority to go to the person to do it? What is this operation?! Since there are such strange regulations, but the hotline cannot be opened, is this deliberately causing trouble for people?

Even the employees of the bank said that they did not understand such a practice of UOB, it is said that the operator complained, but it is complained about, and the operator who complained by the person who is provoked by the phone is so innocent, but the rules of the bank itself are too unreasonable!

UOB’s counter-service attitude is very good, but the bank’s unreasonable and bizarre rules are really disappointing!

So far, I haven’t received a call, I’m really worried about how I pay the insurance, fortunately, the tuition fee will be deducted next month…

VENDOR’S GOODS DAMAGED & SOAKED, J&T EXPRESS ALLEGEDLY REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

Those sending items via courier beware!

EasyParcel Singapore and J&T Express refuse to take responsibility for damaging my parcel.

The customer received the item and the entire parcel was wet and the item inside was soaked with water. The box was torn and the item was damaged.

Wrote it to them and they refuse to compensate saying that the packaging was improper, I need to affix a fragile sticker, bubble wrap everything and ensure there is no space in the box.

I am also told to pack in a double-walled box with further padding.

As expected, they find a lot of excuses to push the responsibility away.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Never ever used J & T services, they are unprofessional & inexperienced in handling parcels. I used QExpress almost the same price with J & T, reliable service all my customers praised them
  • It not delivery service fault, it sender to be blame how they pack and what kind of box quality they use.
  • Very bad service. They have insurance and should claim on it instead of blaming the shipper.
  • the packaging look worst then from Tmall send from china. spore packing standard so bad/low, services also very poor… omg
  • Keep emailing to the courier don’t give chance might happen to others….make broadcast post to aware all about this situation
  • What they said is true.. unfortunately, that’s the loophole for them to avoid responsibility.. same goes to food delivery.. any spilt food incident, it’s the provider to answer.. rider just deliver.. but out of goodwill, some rider ensure food are properly wrapped..
  • Sender has to ensure proper packaging, the small value they are earning is to cover their logistic operational cost, they cant be answerable for the many thousands of packages, not easy, else pay a premium engage dedicated delivery driver & vehicle, trained to company standard

AUNTIE REST HER LEGS ON THE BUS SEAT, STICKER BESIDE HER ARE INSTRUCTIONS

Public transport is an integral part of our lives, especially in cities. It helps us get to work, school, and other places in an efficient and cost-effective way.

However, with more and more people using public transportation, it is important for people to be mindful of their behaviour when using it.

The sign is for show?

Not only was this woman’s behaviour inappropriate and inconsiderate, it was also a health hazard. Not only did it create an unpleasant atmosphere on the bus, it also posed a risk of spreading germs and diseases.

In order to ensure that public transport remains a safe and pleasant environment for everyone, it is important for us to be mindful of our behaviour and be respectful of other passengers. We should be aware that our behaviour may have an impact on the comfort and safety of others, and should strive to act in a manner that is courteous and considerate. It is also important to remember that while our actions may seem insignificant to us, they may be very uncomfortable or even dangerous for others.

Here are what netizens think:

  • They cannot do it at home cause it will dirty their own so they do it on other people’s properties.
  • To prevent an unethical person from resting their legs on the opposite seats, perhaps they can re-position d single seat to face the opposite bus windows like those in MRT train seats. Otherwise, if possible, they can juz remove d single seat for more standing space.
  • Not siding the Aunty but sometime the bus brakes is too strong…worst if you sit at the last row and at the centre..can dive like that.
  • Yes… Is very common nowadays, I had seen many times . Who care as long there’s no enforcement no pain.
  • Thug life.. ehh but actually this seat the leg space like sitting airplane.. if I am not related or know her I won’t even seat at the space in front of her. So awkward
  • No sense of hygiene. Big and mature enough to use her brain.

WOMAN CHARGED $24 FOR NASI PADANG WITH TOFU, SAMBAL GORENG & FISH ROE

0

Facebook user Iluv Ben Ten shared how she was charged a whopping $24 for a packet of Nasi Padang consisting of just 3 ingredients.

She broke down her charges, saying that she was charged $20 for the fish egg (fish roe), $2 for the tofu and another $2 for the sambal goreng.

She purportedly bought her nasi padang from a stall at Bedok Corner.

Here is what she said

Bought this nasi Padang at bedok corner,
It consists of Fish egg, tofu and sambal goreng….. Guess how much can this meal be?
It was $24!!!!!!
The shop lady told me the fish egg is gonna be expensive… But who would taught is gonna cost me this much…
Fish egg -$20
Tofu -$2
Sambal goreng -$2

Netizens’ comments

  1. Stall owner should at least tell buyer before scooping the dish for her
  2. Fish egg/roe is already ex. Should ask the price before taking 1. Fish eggs are charged based on the size and what type of fish eggs they are.
  3. Sorry most nasi padang is expensive i agree but to scam people is not most…it could be an individual work that is working at that stall.
    But for fish roe and other dishes to add up to 24 dollars is totaly absurd. How can u pay $24 straight up front for it if its true the price being told? Don’t u ask them whats the $24 add up to? If its true to what u say next time u have the right to not buy when the price is too expensive.
  4. The owner should at least inform the price or we ask the price before we are getting it. I went to market and saw small size cost about $8 plus and fish egg eventually not cheap.
  5. Anyway thank you for sharing
  6. Kindly can share which nasi padang at bedok corner so that we can avoid in case we go down to patrol for food
