12 Y.O BOY SPENT DONATED MONEY MEANT FOR DAD’S CANCER TREATMENT ON MOBILE GAMES

0

A 12-year-old boy spent the money that was donated by his relatives for his father’s cancer treatment on mobile phone games, according to the South China Morning Post.

The incident happened in Fuchun county in Sichuan, China.

Took the money while visiting sick father

The boy spent about 3,800 yuan (or SGD $775) at the Xiaomi Game Centre, a mobile gaming platform, back in July.

He took the money when he was visiting his father, who has late-stage brain cancer, at the hospital and used his dad’s phone.

Sole breadwinner

The father, who is the sole breadwinner of the family after his wife died 10 years ago, suffers from late-stage brain cancer and doctors opted for a cheaper treatment method after considering the family’s financial resources.

Before he got sick, he worked in construction while his 15 and 12-year-old sons stayed home.

Their relatives pooled monetary donations for his cancer treatment, and they only realised that the money was stolen by the 12-year-old boy after a relative went to make payment for the medical bills after the father died.

As a result, the relatives had to raise some more money to pay the hospital fees.

Gaming company didn’t believe the family

The uncle of the boy, asked the game company for a refund, but they initially didn’t believe him – it was only after a journalist made inquiries and they conducted background checks, did they agree to return the money to the family, which will be put aside for the two boys in the future.

Following their father’s death, the two boys have been placed in an orphanage, according to the local government.

The 12-year-old boy who stole the money said that he feels “sorry for (his) father” and his relatives who pitched in to help.

PROPERTY AGENT SCAMMED 200 FOREIGNERS OF MORE THAN $300K, JAILED 4.5 YEARS

0

54-year-old property agent, Ramanathan Sujithran, pleaded guilty to 11 charges including multiple counts of cheating, and was sentenced to 4.5 years imprisonment on 22 August.

He had scammed nearly 200 foreigners of $308,815 over a series of rental scams.

Background

Ramanathan was under investigation for a series of rental scams in 2017 and was out on bail when he continued his scams until 2019.

He was a property agent for PropNex Realty before he was fired in 2017 and re-registered as a property agent, but he continued to scam his victim via his own real estate company, TSR Logistics.

He would attract his victims by claiming in advertisements that he had rental units available in Singapore, and when his victims responded to his ads, he would then enter into tenancy agreements with them.

Ramanathan was aware that he was “in no position to satisfy the tenancy agreements that he had entered into and would not be renting out the units” to the victims for the periods listed in his agreements.

However, he went ahead and asked them to pay him a deposit to confirm the rental, and would give them repeated excuses on and around their moving-in date, saying that they were not allowed to move in yet.

he would then cancel the “tenancy agreement” and keep the deposits for himself.

For instance, he listed an advertisement in May 2017 about a unit in Hougang Avenue 7 being available for rent without the homeowner knowing about it.

The homeowner had engaged Ramanathan to rent out his master bedroom only.

The victims, three Indian nationals, responded to the ad and he cheated them of $1,400 each, with all three victims not being able to move into the unit that he advertised.

He used the same modus operandi to cheat other victims, and only about $29,000 was instituted to some of the victims.

I recently had a root canal in *clinic’s name redacted* in Tampines by Dr *name redacted* from Hong Kong. Later my face swells up and I get a burning pain. It’s difficult to open my mouth to eat.

I called the clinic who said this is normal. Has anyone else has a similar experience? I want to warn anyone before visiting this clinic as you could be next.

Please help me to warn others. The pain is horrendous

Update: I went back to see Dr *name redacted* today, he laughed at me and said not his problem. I have to stay at home with a bruised face for weeks, I can’t go out looking like this.

He is such a horrible man, made me cry. I wish there was some way I can warn other people about this horrible human being.

COUPLE ARGUES AFTER GF WANTS TO TAKE PRE-WORKOUT SUPP TO DO CLEANING

0

My gf(F24) and I (F32) have been together since 2 years. We live together. She has been quite lazy and low lately, mostly because of her work not being great. She sometimes has these phases where she decides to do everything in one day and change her life. Today it was “i will clean my office today and start working from tomorrow”

We woke up, had coffee and breakfast and I started working with my colleague in our living room like I do every day. And she went back to bed watching tv like she has been doing this past week.

She then came to me asking me for my carnitine supplement. For those who don’t know, it’s a pre-workout supplement that converts fat into energy which is usually used before heavy workouts to get a boost of energy.

I asked her if she was going to the gym and she said “no i just want to clean my office and i really have no energy” I told it’s not what the supplement is for, and it’s for heavy workouts. She cannot use it for basic things. She still argued saying “but it does give energy, and i want it” I told her it does but it’s the wrong mindset, she cannot use a supplement to get basic things done. I told her not to argue and I am not giving it to her. And that she should go clean as much as she can and I will help her after work.

This was all in front of my colleague/friend.

5 mins later she went to the closet to find my gym bag in which the supplements are. She found it and went to the kitchen to get her shaker bottle, I heard the rumbling and knew what she was doing. I went to the kitchen and lost my mind looking at her preparing the supplement. I was upset that she has come to this stage of laziness that now she needs supplements to get out of bed and do the dusting. I yelled at her and told her not to touch my supplements. The yelling might have been pretty harsh and my friend could hear it.

She has been upset since the morning that I yelled at her in front of my friend for using a completely non-harmful supplement.
