RAEESAH KHAN TESTIFIES THAT WP LEADERS TOLD HER TO STICK TO HER LIE

0

The Committee of Privileges heard that Raeesah Khan was advised by three senior Workers’ Party (WP) MPs to stick to the lie that she had told in Parliament on 3 August.

Khan had testified that she was advised on 8 August by Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh, WP Chairman Sylvia Lim and WP vice-chairman Faisal Manap to “take the (secret) to the grave”.

Khan was testifying and giving evidence to the Committee of Privileges, chaired by Speaker Tan Chuan Jin; along with her former assistant Loh Pei Ying, volunteer Yudhishthra Nathan and former legislative assistant Lim Hang Ling.

She had resigned from the party and her position as MP for Sengkang GRC on Tuesday.

The committee then said in their report that “if Ms Khan and the WP could get away with it, there was no need to clarify the lie. If the matter was brought up again, there would also be no need for her to clarify and there was no need for the truth to be told”.

Disputed Pritam Singh’s statements at press conference

Following the press conference on 2 December where Singh said that the party leaders gave Khan time to deal with the matter as she had not told her family about her own assault experience, Khan disputed his comments that he advised her to admit to her lie in Parliament and take responsibility for it.

Khan said that no one from WP advised her to tell the truth and that she wasn’t ordered to clarify herself.

She replied, “I’m hearing this for the first time” when told by the committee that Singh had ordered her to clarify the matter (about her lying) in Parliament.

The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in a statement on Facebook that the ICA, Police Coast Guard (PCG), and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) intercepted an Indonesian registered tugboat named “Maju Daya 87” on 25 November.

The boat was within Singapore’s territorial waters and suspected of smuggling prohibited items into Singapore.

A check was then conducted on the tugboat and officers found a total of 1,534 cartons of duty-unpaid cigarettes that were hidden under a hatch that was blocked by a green cabinet.

The case was then referred to the Singapore Customs for follow-up investigations.

The ICA then highlighted that their top priority remains to safeguard Singapore’s borders and that similar concealment methods might be used by terrorists to smuggle security items into the country.

GIRL ASKS IF SHE SHOULD STOP DATING 1.7M TALL GUY BECAUSE HE LOOKS SHORT

0

A netizen took to Facebook to share how she met a guy from the dating app, Tinder, and that he is charismatic, intelligent and “pretty buff”.

She said that he is 1.75m tall, above her expectation of 1.7m, but because he “appears” short due to his muscles, she is considering stopping dating him.

Here is the story:

“I’m not sure if I’m considered a superficial or realistic woman but there is something that has been bothering me ever since I started using dating apps.

I recently matched this guy on tinder. He doesn’t look tall or at least above average height but what caught my attention was his serious look, charismatic/distinctive look, his intelligence and he is pretty buff too.

After chatting with him for some time, I noticed that we have a lot in common and what’s more important is that he not only does pretty well in his field of expertise but he also has some side hustle that generates passive income.

So when we first met each other, he indeed doesn’t look tall, which I already expected but then when we were standing closer, I noticed that he is actually much taller than me (I’m 1.55m), like legit above 1.7m.

so I just casually asked him how tall he is, and he said he’s 1.75m. I was like wow, it’s unbelievable cos my expectation is just 1.7.

Cares about how others view him

For some reason, he really looks short from far. I’m not sure is it due to his muscular arms, huge upper body frame, and bulky legs. I mean who doesn’t want a muscular bf right, but as much as I enjoy being with a buff dude, I sometimes care about how others view him cos even I find him short.

We actually met up a few times. I’m not gonna lie, but he really looks short when he’s in shorts.

Should I continue dating him cos I really like a lot of his qualities and his height probably won’t matter much to me later in life, or should I stop wasting his time since he looks short but isn’t actually short?”

Editor’s note: I think you should stop dating him because you’re wasting his time and you don’t deserve him, or anyone.
