Facebook user Joyce Ang shared how she took her $1,000 Louis Vuitton shawl to a dry cleaning shop at IMM, and it was allegedly returned to her in a damaged condition.

She also alleged that the shop only offered her compensation of $35.

Here is what she said

I had send a Louis Vuitton Shawl on behalf of my boss for dry cleaning at Mr Jeff IMM outlet on 17/10/22. I went to collect on 28/10/22.

During collection , I checked the shawl and found that the threads on the shawl were coming out from the shawl and there are patches where the graphic is already not in order.

The staff did not informed of the fault they had caused to the shawl. This matter has not resolve till now.

The manager of this outlet claim this is the sign of wear and tear and they can only compensate $35 for this $1000+ shawl .

If this is wear and tear , We ourselves would have know when we send in for dry clean. Although they try to put the thread back , the shawl wil not be as good as what we originally have. The thread will eventually become loose again.

Is a terrible dry cleaning service.

Seven people were charged with various offences in connection with the rape and sedation of their spouses to satisfy their sexual desires.

There are at least 7 men involved in this case and 4 of them have been sentenced to jail and cane.

One of them cannot be caned as he is above the age of 50.

There is a gag order, therefore the names of the accused cannot be named, reported CNA.

Spiking the drink

The story started in 2010, A 5th man (41-year-old) whose case is still pending, met up with Man 2 on the Sammyboy forum and they started communicating and discussed about their “desires”.

They then talked about the concept of sharing a wife.

They meet up and drugged their wives,”exchange” wives and rape them.

In 2012, the 5th man strike again this time meeting the wife of Man 1. Man 1 drugged his wife and blindfolded her before allowing the 5th man to do it to his wife and even took a video of it.

In 2013, the 5th man found out that his wife was feeling unwell and used the opportunity to give her a sleeping pill, Man 1 then came over to his home and took advantage of the 5th man’s wife.

These activities happened over and over again between each of the men that were mentioned in the article and it went on for years. They also took photos or recorded the incidents.

But it came to an end in 2017 when the second man’s wife suddenly woke up after she was drugged.

The other men who are involved still have cases are still pending.

Hello,

On October 23rd I booked a taxi through Zig (Comfort Delgro). The ride was assigned to a taxi. The taxi was quite far from our location (8-10 min), but we were ready to wait, since we were at home.

And then, for some reason, after 30 seconds upon booking the ride, while the taxi was still 8-10 min away from our home, the taxi driver marked our ride as completed, and we were charged for the ride.

But you can see on the screenshot: “Distance run: 0 km”. Trip duration: 0 minutes.

I was surprised and annoyed, but I thought this must be a simple mistake, and I will easily get a refund. I reported the problem to Comfort Delgro to get a refund, I thought this would be a piece of cake.

To my surprise, almost 1 month later, I still haven’t been able to get a refund! I have reported the issue several times through the app and by email. I had several exchanges with the customer support, they asked me for details about the trip, and after providing the details, they never followed through.

I know it’s just $7 but I feel downright robbed. How is this even possible? How does Comfort Delgro not refund this trip when it is very obviously a no brainer? I feel powerless now because I’m not getting any feedback from them. I suppose all I can do is keep reporting until they eventually refund, but it takes time and effort.

A 73-year-old man was found dead on 19 November at the Kallang River after an underwater search to retrieve his body from the water, according to Shin Min Daily News.

The SCDF said that they received a call for help on 19 November at about 1.05pm for “water rescue assistance” at the Kallang River.

Officers were deployed to the location at Kallang River near Block 38A Bendemeer Road, but couldn’t find the person when they arrived.

Divers from the Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) were then activated to the scene to perform an underwater search.

The body of the elderly man was later found and retrieved from the river, before being pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic.

The Singapore Police Force also confirmed that they were alerted to the incident at about 11.45am, and identified the body as a 73-year-old man.

Police investigations are ongoing, and preliminary investigations have ruled out homicide.

In a joint operation conducted by the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD), and Johor Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) of the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP), the SPF and RMP officers crippled one transnational scam syndicate allegedly involved in money laundering activities in a raid conducted in Johor, Malaysia on 7 November 2022.

Since July 2022, the two Forces have shared critical intelligence and information based on findings from reported scam cases. The joint investigations identified a criminal syndicate’s money laundering cell operating in Johor, Malaysia. On 7 November 2022, CCID/RMP officers conducted a raid at an apartment complex in Johor, Malaysia and arrested a 33-year-old male Singaporean for his suspected involvement in managing cross border money transfers.

He is believed to be responsible for laundering the criminal proceeds linked to scams targeting more than 50 victims of Investment Scams, Job Scams, Fake Friend Impersonation Scams, Government Officials Impersonation Scams and Loan Scams reported in Singapore involving losses amounting to more than S$3.7 million. Preliminary investigations indicated that the man is believed to have procured Singapore bank accounts through various chat platforms such as Telegram and Facebook.

The bank accounts were subsequently used to launder the syndicate’s scam proceeds.

Simultaneously, officers from the Anti-Scam Command in Singapore arrested three men and one woman, aged between 17 and 36, for their suspected involvement in aiding the money laundering syndicate by handing over their personal bank accounts or relinquishing their Singpass accounts.

Investigations against the three men and one woman are ongoing.

The Singaporean man was handed over to the SPF on 17 November 2022 and will be charged in court on 18 November 2022 for abetting by intentionally aiding unknown persons to secure access without authority to a program hosted in the server of a bank (“Computer Misuse Act offence”) and cheating. The offence of facilitating unauthorized access to computer material under Section 3 read with Section 12 of the Computer Misuse Act carries an imprisonment term of up to two years, a fine, or both. The offence of cheating under Section 417 of the Penal Code 1871 is punishable with imprisonment of up to three years and a fine.

Director CAD, Mr David Chew said, “Scams continue to be a crime of concern. I strongly urge the public to ignore offers of quick monetary gains in return for the use of your bank accounts on social media platforms like Telegram or Facebook. These illegal offers by transnational syndicates seek to abuse the surrendered bank accounts to launder the proceeds of their scams. The recent arrest in Malaysia, evidences our commitment to detect and dismantle these money laundering networks. The Singapore Police Force will continue to collaborate closely with our Malaysian counterparts to detect and deter these transnational syndicates who use the anonymity of the Internet to commit crimes. I would like to thank Johor Police Chief, Commissioner Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat and his officers from the Johor Commercial Crime Investigations Department for their strong support and commitment in tackling transnational crime syndicates that target our citizens. We will continue to take tough action against individuals who perpetuate scams even if they are based overseas”.

The Police would also like to advise members of the public to call the Anti-Scam Hotline at 1800-722-6688 or visit www.scamalert.sg to seek scam-related advice.
