CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 9 SEEN SMOKING CANNABIS IN THE STREETS OF THAILAND

0

Facebook user Kritiwat Matrong, shared photos of children in Thailand opening smoking marijuana using bamboo pipes on a beach in the Chon Buri province of eastern Thailand, according to The Thaiger.

He said that he saw the children between the ages of 9 to 10 smoking while he was on his way to see some fireworks in Pattaya.

The man said that he approached the kids and warns them against smoking, and one of the kids then purportedly told him “my father is a soldier, I’m not scared of you.”

Matrong then reported the children to the authorities.

He said in his post, “I know now ganja is free, but shouldn’t we have boundaries? I pity these children, they are still young.”

Cannabis was legalised in Thailand back in June, but there has been little to no legislation to regulate its use by young children.

One of the laws is that cannabis cannot be used or sold by anyone under 20, but the drug is so accessible that it can reportedly be bought from street vendors, resulting in some kids getting their hands on some.

0

Lin Rongxin, a 34-year-old Chinese national who worked in Singapore as a machinery technician, was sentenced on 5 December to 31 years imprisonment and 24 strokes of the cane for exploiting 20 young girls and women in Singapore via an extortion scheme.

Lin had pleaded guilty to 7 charges which included rape, making threats, and instigating a victim to make voyeuristic videos; he had another 57 charges considered during his sentencing, according to The Straits Times.

Background

Lin, who is a married man with a son, targeted girls between the ages of 14 and 19 who were from China but studying in Singapore.

He met these victims on apps like WeChat and TanTan using fake personas, making them send him explicit videos and pictures, and he would sometimes engage in self-stimulation activities with the victims on camera.

He would then blackmail the victims into sending him more obscene videos or money, threatening to upload their videos if they didn’t.

Using his fake persona, he would ask them to sleep with another man, who was actually Lin himself without the victims knowing.

Some of the victims ended up being in an intimate relationship with him.

Lin was also suffering from STDs including Herpes and Hepatitis B while he was having intercourse with 5 of the victims.

Lin lives with his wife and a 3-year-old son in a dormitory here in Singapore.

GUY HAPPY THAT JAPAN GOT KNOCKED OUT OF WORLD CUP BECAUSE HE LOST MONEY

0

An anonymous person wrote in to us to share that he is very happy that Japan got knocked out of the World Cup last night after losing on penalties to Croatia.

According to him, this was because Japan has caused him to lose a lot of money in the World Cup and when he finally decided to support Japan again, they let him down.

Here is what he said

Finally, Japan is out of the World Cup!

I know most people would want Japan to qualify because other than South Korea, Japan is the only other Asian representative in the World Cup but not for me.

All in all in Japan’s 4 World Cup games, I have lost a total of almost $8000.

In Japan’s first game against Germany which they won 2-1, I lost because they came back against Germany.

I then lost again in their second game when I thought Japan would beat Costa Rica.

Then when I decided to bet on Spain to win against Japan, they had to come back again and finally in the game against Croatia, I had bought them to qualify to the next round and they let me down again!

What’s worst is that Japan scored first and missed three penalties behind.

Pui!

If not for Japan, I would have at least break even in my betting.

As the world football tournament comes closer to the end, the enthusiasm of the public is getting higher and higher.

Many people take the opportunity to go to the betting shop hoping to get a thousand times the bonus with a small fortune. A netizen shared that he followed suit in the round of 16 and bet on the odds.

He spent TWD$200 (SGD$ 8.86) on a series of three rounds. Unexpectedly, he guessed all of them correctly, and finally won a bonus of TWD$202,800 (Almost SGD$9,000).

After the post was exposed, it sparked heated discussions.

Parlay

The man said he decided to spend only TWD$200 to bet on a series of three levels, but he didn’t expect it to be true All of them were caught by him. The United States ended 1:3 against the Netherlands, Australia 1:2 against Argentina, and Poland ended the match 1:3 against France.

In this regard, many people responded, “It seems that there is a well-calculated guessing method, congratulations”, “You should thank the referee in France for saving you in the end”, “You are a professional veteran if you can play like this”, “Ben Xiao, smart betting method!”, “The most fun thing about the lucky lottery is to play games”, “It’s amazing, let’s get a batch of year-end first.”

According to the Taiwan Lottery official website, although the original PO received a bonus of 202,800 yuan on the surface, due to legal regulations, bonuses exceeding 5,000 yuan should be taxed at 20% of the full amount of the bonus. 0.4% stamp duty will be deducted, so the original PO will actually get back 161,429 yuan.

0

Minister of Health Ong Ye Kung said that with the expected increase in travel due to the year-end holidays, the number of Covid cases is expected to spike.

He also warned that there will be potentially new variants emerging, as he used the Covid situation in China as an example.

Ong was speaking at an event by the Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC) at Nanyang Junior College on Sunday.

He said that Covid cases might increase due to the end-of-year travel but added that it isn’t something that Singapore hasn’t experienced before.

He added that the government will continue to monitor the developments overseas, citing Beijing’s Covid situation.

He said that more and more people are infected in China, and given their huge population and density, there will be new variants of concern.

On Singapore, he said that our direction has been very clear for the past year, and that we would open up further whenever possible.

He said that “we are left with few restrictions and life has pretty much returned to normal, but we should take another step forward where we can.”

GIRL INSIST THAT SHE GETS IPHONE FOR HER CHRISTMAS PRESENT, BF TELLS HER TO “SELL BODY”

0

My girlfriend treats me like a cash cow every time.

We have only been together for about three months and while I am okay to pay for meals and dates, I seriously dislike the fact that every time she sees something she likes and wants to get it, she would not want to get it by herself and would instead pester me to buy it for her.

In these three months that we were together, I have already bought her an LV bag, a YSL wallet, a few Chanel accessories and even her lingerie and all these are branded.

All in all plus food and dates, I have already spent more than 10 thousand SGD on her in these three months.

Been recently pestering me for an iPhone 14

Recently, she has been starting to pester me to get an iPhone 14.

At the initial stage when the iPhone 14 came out to the market, she has already been talking about its features and shown that she is very fond of it.

At that time, I already started to act blur and pretended that I don’t know that she wants the iPhone 14.

She must have known that I am acting blur which was why she has been more direct recently in telling me that she wants the iPhone 14.

She also used the upcoming Christmas as an excuse, saying that I can always get her the iPhone 14 as an advance Christmas present.

Even though I could afford to get her an iPhone 14, I am sick of her always taking things for granted and treating me like a cash cow.

Out of anger, I told her in her face that if she really wants to get an iPhone 14, she can always sell her body to others to raise money for it.

I might sound very harsh but I think she really deserves it.

WOMAN FINDS FISH HOOK INSIDE HER FISH SOUP FROM HAWKER STALL @ BISHAN BUS INTERCHANGE

A woman bought a bowl of fish soup from a hawker stall at Bishan, and when she tucked into her food, she found a huge fish hook inside.

Shin Min Daily News reported that the woman had gone to the hawker centre on the 2nd floor of Bishan Bus Interchange to buy lunch on 1 December.

She was shocked to find a pointy fish hook inside her fish soup, which was buried inside a piece of fish meat.

She then brought the food back to the stall and confronted the stall owner about the fish hook, and the stall owner allegedly tried to brush off the incident and was purportedly unapologetic.

The stall owner even allegedly pointed out that the woman had already eaten half of the food when she returned it.

The woman then raised her voice as the confrontation got heated and the stall owner then eventually relented and agreed to cook another bowl for her.

However, the customer requested a refund of the $6 that she paid for the food.

Stall owner responds

The stall owner, Mr Chen, then spoke to SMDN to share his side of the story, saying that he gets his fish meat from a supplier.

He added that the supplier would cut the fish meat before sending it over to them, but they didn’t notice the fish hook.

He added that they will be more careful next time.

Chen also added that the customer had requested another bowl but they ran out of fish heads and couldn’t do so, and that they had already refunded her.
