A Facebook user shared how he had a problem with his aircon leaking, and that it had a month’s warranty left after being used for 2 years.

He then called the company that installed his aircon, and they were allegedly reluctant to send their technician down and told him to call Daikin instead.

They eventually sent a team to check on his aircon to check it out, and they topped up the aircon with gas and charged him $120, assuring him that all was fine.

But after 2 weeks, the aircon started leaking again and they then allegedly ignored the man’s calls and messages.

Here is what he said

Bad experience dealing with this Aircon company and till today the issue is still not resolved as they simply ignored my calls and WhatsApp!

Having problems with my Daikin system 4 which was installed about 2 years ago by this company which has quite good reviews on their service on the website, but they were so reluctant to send their technician down to check on the units as the warranty was just over barely a month, keep asking me to contact Daikin instead!

Eventually they sent a team of guys to check for leakage and topped up with gas after my persistence calling and messages and I paid $120 after they assured me everything was ok!

But the problem cropped up again after 2 wks and they sent a guy down who was totally not familiar with the installation!

The guy told me to call to arrange their technician to come over again which I did but they simply ignored me totally!

I have no choice but to call Daikin and they found out there was leakage along the piping leading to one of the rooms which was installed by this Aircon company!

I hope to relate my experience to others so don’t simply trust the online reviews which sometimes can be untrue!

Concertgoers who attended the Formula 1 outdoor concert at the Padang on 1 October, experienced a “mud bath” of sorts following a downpour.

Netizens shared videos online, showing audience members walking through the thick and heavy mud like baby kangaroos learning how to walk for the first time.

Some of them had their shoes completely seeped in the mud, with one guy even seen being completely covered in mud from top to bottom inside the MRT following the concert.

A guy with a very expensive pair of Jordans was seen soldiering through the mud, with netizen conveying condolences to his footwear.

Another woman was seen powering through the mud as she appeared to be heading towards the concert, and having mud splattered all the way up her thighs.

Netizens’ comments

• Best to get a pair of Wellies for tonight’s show, its supposed to rain again today. Have a fab time.

The Singapore Police Force warned the public in a news release about a new form of phishing scam that is surging, where scammers are targeting victims through the use of SMSes to get their Singpass information.

Victims would receive unsolicited SMSes where the ID of the sender would be similar to Singpass, with a slight change in the name, such as “MySingpass” and “SGSingpass”.

They (the victims) would be told that their Singpass would be deactivated, or has been deactivated and that a facial verification would be needed.

The victims would then be sent a URL through the SMS to get them to log into their Singpass, and they would be taken to a spoofed Singpass login site, requiring their login credentials.

They would then be led to a 2FA page and receive a prompt for their Singpass OTP, and the victims would then realise that they had been scammed after receiving notifications that their profiles had been updated.

Some of the victims reportedly received alerts that “they” had signed up for credit cards and bank accounts, as well as having unauthorised transactions charged to the cards.

The SPF added that the authorities has since taken down the phishing websites but as with all fights against scams, public and user vigilance plays a crucial role in taking them down completely.

The Police have arrested a 23-year-old man for his suspected involvement in unauthorised transactions using a found credit card amounting to more than $6,700.

On 25 September 2022, the Police received a report from a victim who discovered that several unauthorised transactions had been made with his missing credit card.

Through investigations, officers from the Commercial Affairs Department established the identity of the man and arrested him on 29 September 2022. Preliminary investigations revealed that the man had allegedly found the victim’s credit card and subsequently used it to make three unauthorised transactions amounting to more than $6,700. A pawn ticket, receipts and the victim’s credit card were found in his possession and seized as case exhibits. A bangle, which was believed to have been purchased using the victim’s credit card, were seized as case exhibits.

The man will be charged in court on 30 September 2022 with cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code 1871. The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to 10 years and a fine.

Unauthorised use of another person’s credit/debit card is a serious offence. The Police take a serious view against any person who commits fraud, and the perpetrators will be dealt with in accordance with the law.

The Police would like to advise all credit/debit card holders to call their card-issuing banks immediately if their credit/debit cards are lost or stolen, and to adopt the following crime prevention measures:

Officers from the Commercial Affairs Department and the seven Police Land Divisions conducted a two-week operation between 16 and 29 September 2022. A total of 213 men and 99 women, aged between 16 and 78, are assisting in investigations for their suspected involvement in scams as scammers or money mules.

The suspects are believed to be involved in more than 1,175 cases of scams, comprising mainly internet love scams, loan scams, bank phishing scams, business email compromise scams, Government and China Officials impersonation scams, where victims reportedly lost over $15.7 million.

The suspects are being investigated for the alleged offences of cheating, money laundering or providing payment services without a licence.

The offence of cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code 1871 carries an imprisonment term of up to 10 years and a fine. The offence of money laundering under the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act 1992 carries an imprisonment term of up to 10 years, a fine of up to $500,000, or both.

The offence of carrying on a business to provide any type of payment service in Singapore without a licence under Section 5 of the Payment Services Act 2019 carries a fine of up to $125,000, an imprisonment term of up to three years, or both.

The Police take a serious stance against any person who may be involved in scams, and perpetrators will be dealt with in accordance with the law. To avoid being an accomplice to crimes, members of the public should always reject requests by others to use your bank account or mobile lines as you will be held accountable if these are linked to crimes.

33-year-old Mohd S. Muhibullah Said Abdullah, pleaded guilty on 30 September to 3 counts of voluntarily causing hurt.

He had reportedly heard voices inside his head calling him a transvestite, and he then got agitated and slashed a passer-by with a razor blade.

A mandatory treatment order suitability report for Muhibullah has been called by District Judge Ow Yong Tuck Leong.

What happened?

Muhibullah worked as a packer and was at work in Joo Koon on 14 March when he started hearing voices in his head and got agitated before his supervisor then asked him to go home, according to The Straits Times.

He then heard the voices again when he went to the HDB blocks along Strathmore Avenue, which is near his home.

Thinking that he was being insulted by passers-by, Muhibullah took out a razor blade from his card-holder and confronted strangers who were passing him by, thinking that they had insulted him.

36-year-old John Ryan Baguistan Jimenez and his wife were on their way home when they encountered Muhibullah at the void deck of Block 59 Strathmore Avenue.

The latter had walked past the couple, before suddenly turning back and slashing the left side of Jimenez’s neck.

The victim’s wife called for help and her husband was then sent to Singapore General Hospital.

Police officers then arrived at the scene after numerous calls from passers-by, and they commenced a search for the assailant, as well as seizing the razor blade and arrested Muhibullah.

The victim, Jimenez, suffered a laceration on the left side of his neck which measured 8.5cm.

In a separate incident, Muhibullah attacked a staff member at Sengkang General Hospital – he was warded for low blood pressure when he then kicked a physiotherapist on the forearm.

He also kicked out at an auxiliary police officer at the hospital.

He is scheduled to return to court on 14 October to be sentenced.
