INTERRACIAL COUPLE MARRIED AT TAOIST TEMPLE AFTER MAN PRAYED FOR LOVE

0

26-year-old Rishi Kumar, visited a Taoist temples at Arumugam Road a few years ago to pray for love and marriage.

His wish finally came true on 21 October 2022, when he married his 30-year-old bride Jiang at the Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple.

Speaking to Shin Min Daily News in fluent Mandarin, Kumar said that he first met Jiang at a Taoist temple a few years ago and had just finished praying for love and fortune.

He then planted his joss stick, before turning around and seeing Jiang, who was working at the temple – he said that it was love at first sight and he walked over to speak to her.

The couple first met when they were in their early 20s, Kumar was 20 while Jiang was 24.

But she was hesitant about the relationship because of their age difference and felt that Kumar might be too young for her.

But Kumar didn’t give up and continued visiting the temple where she works, to pray and spend time with her – and after 5 years of perseverance, they are finally together.

They started dating last January before deciding to solemnise their marriage at the temple.

ELDERLY MOTHER & SON WHO WERE FOUND DEAD IN TAMPINES FLAT, WERE RECLUSES

0

A 92-year-old mother and her 70-year-old son were both found dead on the morning of 22 October, after neighbours detected a foul smell coming from their unit.

Tampines GRC MP Desmond Choo, said that the pair were recluses who refrained from participating in activities despite being known to grassroots and community volunteers.

Choo said that volunteers had reached out to them over the last 7 years at least 5 times but with little success.

He described their deaths as “unfortunate and very sad,” and that they understand from the police that there was no foul play suspected, and they likely died from natural causes.

The grassroots team are also working with the police to locate their next of kin(s) and/or friends.

Choo added that the elderly mother was seen to be quite frail, but her son seemed healthy and they were self-sufficient and not on any support schemes.

TODDLER WASHES DAD’S LAPTOP WITH SOAP AFTER DAD COMPLAINS OF TOO MUCH “JUNK”

0

A father in Shandong, China, complained about his laptop having too much “junk”, and his helpful daughter decided to do something about it to help her daddy out.

She washed his laptop in a bucket of soap water.

The incident happened on 20 October, and the father was talking about his laptop having too much junk in it while the family was having their meal.

The 2-year-old girl then took her father’s laptop, wanting to help him out, and soaked it inside a bucket of soap water to wash it and get rid of the “junk”.

The girl’s mother discovered what she was doing and filmed the incident, as she captioned that the toddler “already knows how to help dad out with his work”.

You can watch the video here.

Netizens’ comments

  • I think the father wanted to change laptops and got the daughter to ruin his laptop haha
  • She washed it clean enough!
  • Why would anyone start filming when they encounter something like this happening?
  • Nice, the child has grown up.
  • You should be happy you have a caring daughter like that who is well raised

The accident was caught on the dashcam of another car nearby that was waiting for the traffic light at the junction.

The BlueSG car was seen in the video making a right turn, but after completing the right turn, the driver somehow continued turning right for whatever reason.

The car then ended up crashing into the road divider and being stuck there, with a man later seen standing next to the wreckage, presumably the driver.

The Singapore Police Force confirmed the accident, and said that they were alerted to the incident on 22 October at about 12.04pm.

There were no injuries reported from the incident, and police investigations are currently underway.

GIRL FOUND OUT BF IS 23 YEARS OLDER, LIED ABOUT HIS AGE BY WEARING MAKEUP

0

Lied about his age found out he’s 23 years older

How do I confront him?? I gave him multiple chances to come clean and he kept denying it. I had the chance to look at his IC while he was gone and saw his actual age, I wasn’t shocked but I’m just pissed how he keeps lying when he obviously knows I know something is up.

Edit- I also found makeup in his bag so this confirmed everything I already thought

I also don’t mind being with older men I prefer it but I don’t know how I feel about a man lying like this..

Netizens’ comments

  • Ok. What is your age. Age he tells you. And his actual age?
    • (OP) I just turned 21. He tells me he’s 30. His IC says 43
      • Ok 100% red flag. Why are you even trying to make it work. Run
  • Um please run. I’m 43, too, and the idea of dating a 21 year old, no matter how lovely a person, is squicky to me. No matter how mature you are, you are still barely an adult and in completely different life spaces. Someone my age who wants someone young, impressionable, and easy to manipulate is a problem. And then he lied on top of it. Abort mission.
  • OK, here’s the deal:
    You don’t mind dating older people. His age wouldn’t have necessarily been a deal breaker. HOWEVER, he still chose to lie about this to you and has gone out of his way to hide this. Not to mention that it’s 13 years older than what he was saying initially. If he’s going to lie about this, he will lie about other things – and likely has already. He’s already showing that he doesn’t have your best interests in mind, only his.
    The fact that you don’t see this as an immediate deal breaker is also concerning, as this should be an automatic deal breaker. People who would abuse, manipulate, and exploit you will see this as an opportunity to hurt you. They’ll assume – possibly rightfully so – that you will put up with awful behavior because you either don’t know any better or because you won’t think you deserve better, if not a bit of both.
    I personally don’t think it’s great to date with such a huge age gap, but if you do, go in with extreme caution. You only get one life and it’s not worth wasting your youth on creeps. These types of people are present in any dating population and age range, but they will be more numerous and visible when it comes to age gaps because it’s so ripe for exploitation.

DAD BANKRUPT OVER CREDIT CARD DEBTS, COURT TAKING AWAY HIS THINGS FROM FAMILY’S HOME

Dad’s debt is implicating the family even after moving out and cutting contacts

Hi, kinda lost in this situation so I wanted to post in this subreddit for extra opinions.

For context, I’m 19F living with my brother 17M & mom and my parents are not divorced however they have stopped talking more than a decade ago and he moved out on his own in 2020. But his address didn’t change because he merely rent a place or something outside we are not sure.

His credit card debts are accumulating from different banks and they are sending many lawyers letter to our address, recently we received a letter from States Court that they will be coming to our place to remove all the items under his name. This is damn infuriating for me because its really causing a inconvenience for all of us.

Another thing that made me super angry is that when my parents were still dating, my mother cleared a 10k+ debt for him before and he still haven’t learnt his lesson until now and even cheated on my mother with many different women and asking for a divorce right now and asked for our current house to be sold and split ways.

Besides that, I just wanna add that I have supportive friends around me but I wouldn’t wanna burden them with my problems whatsoever so I don’t really say much about my personal life.

I have a very loving boyfriend too but he is currently in NS and I definitely don’t wanna tire him with my repetitive stories every week. And he mentioned before that he had the feels to sign on just so to help me out financially, I was damn touched of course because the fact that this thought even crossed his mind just showed me how much he cared for me.

Everyday is a struggle, I have to put on a facade and act like everything is fine but the truth is it feels like everything is falling apart in my life. I know this is gonna be temporary, I can’t wait to grow and get out of this environment but sometimes it gets to me and I take it out on my boyfriend.

Honestly don’t know what kind of help or advice I need but I just wanted to post it here and read what ppl has to say lol I’m badly affected by this whole thing if I have to be honest. Plus I don’t tell anyone the things I go through and have been crying myself to sleep everyday and even resorted to alcohol and cigarettes as a coping mechanism.

RESIGNING STAFF NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE LEAVE DURING NOTICE PERIOD OR ENCASH IT

0

Need advice on employment contract terms regarding notice period

I’ve given a notice to my employer and I’m currently serving the notice period. In my contract, there is no clear indication on how the leaves would be cleared out during this period. I was told by HR that I wasn’t allowed to take any leaves during the notice period, so now I had assumed that I could encash those leaves. Note, my contract doesn’t mention anything about encashing. I’ve attached the clauses regarding leaves in the image.

When I searched on MOM website, it clearly says that I could either take or encash my paid leaves. However, when I had a casual brief chat with HR a while back, they mentioned that this doesn’t apply to us as per the employment contract. I’m not sure how to proceed now, and I’m not able to understand as to why singapore employment laws wouldn’t apply to my contract. It’s rather stupid to not allow to take leaves during notice, plus not able to encash them as well.

MOM website clause:

“You can either encash or clear your annual leave if your employment was terminated.

If the unused leave is encashed, it should be calculated at the gross rate of pay based on your last drawn salary.

However, if an employee is terminated for misconduct, any unused leave will be forfeited.”

Could anyone suggest what I should do here ? Shall I have a proper legal advice for my employment contract? Any lawyer/legal counsel over here who could comment ? (Thanks in advance)

Edit1: happy to pay by hour if this needs a detailed evaluation by a lawyer

Edit2: Thanks for all the replies. I’ll be contacting HR and try to understand why they said what they said. I’ll point them to the employment laws here, and see how they respond. To be honest, it’s likely they themselves are not aware and might have just copied the clause from the country the company is headquarted in into the employment contract. If things go south, I’ll bring up the employment contract to MOM and make the HR amend the contract for future employees.
