GUY’S “HIGH VALUE PACKAGE” MARKED AS DELIVERED, BUT IT NEVER CAME TO HIS HOME

0

Facebook user Aathiq Muhammad shared how he had a “high value package” that was supposed to be delivered from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore.

However, his package never arrived and it was even allegedly marked as “delivered” by the courier.

Here is what he said

Why is Singapore Post continuously riddled with issues with no end or solution?

On the 24th of June, we had a high-value package sent from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore via Post Laju Express. With a tracking link given, we were expected to receive delivery within the next 5 working days. Confident that we will get the delivery soon, with a signature when it arrives, we did not worry about anything.

On the 29th of June, the package was handed over to SpeedPost for local delivery, scheduled for the 30th of June. On the 30th of June, no doorbell came. No knock on the door, no person visited our house, no mail in our mailbox. We thought that probably it was delayed, but to our shock, the tracking link was updated to “Delivered” on the 30th of June, 04:57pm.

We thoroughly checked everywhere for the delivery, even with our neighbours, but there was no evidence of a box delivered to our doorstep or to our level on that day and even at that time. It was puzzling so I contacted SingPost to figure out what was going on. Customer Service was utterly useless, with the hotline and chat always busy, or they will drop your call or chat out of nowhere and no sign of anyone helping you.

I then decided to visit SingPost Centre personally, and they only gave me an option to complain to Customer Service. Fortunately, after that, a person came to our doorstep the day after I complained. This person who supposedly was the “driver” checked and asked if there was any package delivered. We said no and we told him about everything that happened, and he said he will check and left promptly. No identification was given, but I received a WhatsApp the next day.

Apparently, Speedpost has entrusted deliveries to third-party providers, and they only take a photo of the door when making the delivery, and the Signature was done by the driver and not by the receiver.

After that, we received no reply, no contact information, and were told to try the Customer Service hotline again, which brings me to a dead end, again. This brings me to the following questions:

  1. Why does SpeedPost entrust deliveries to Third-Parties, which does not ensure deliveries are done correctly and does not have a Signature given by the receiver?
  2. Why does SingPost continuously have ridiculously bad customer service?
  3. With all the bad reviews, does Singpost even want to try to improve? I am not the only one faced with these issues, yet nothing is being done to fix them?

At this rate, I need to set up cameras just to ensure Singpost does a decent job. And that is just sad.

W.H.O – REDUCE MEN-MEN INTERCOURSE TO LOWER RISK OF MONKEYPOX

0

Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said during a media briefing on 27 July to address the current monkeypox outbreak.

WHO’s statement

More than 18 thousand cases of monkeypox have now been reported to WHO from 78 countries, with more than 70% of cases reported from the European Region, and 25% from the Region of the Americas.

So far, five deaths have been reported, and about 10% of cases are admitted to hospital to manage the pain caused by the disease.

This is an outbreak that can be stopped, if countries, communities and individuals inform themselves, take the risks seriously, and take the steps needed to stop transmission and protect vulnerable groups.

The best way to do that is to reduce the risk of exposure. That means making safe choices for yourself and others.

For men who have sex with men, this includes, for the moment, reducing your number of sexual partners, reconsidering sex with new partners, and exchanging contact details with any new partners to enable follow-up if needed.

The focus for all countries must be engaging and empowering communities of men who have sex with men to reduce the risk of infection and onward transmission, to provide care for those infected, and to safeguard human rights and dignity.

Stigma and discrimination can be as dangerous as any virus, and can fuel the outbreak.

As we have seen with COVID-19, misinformation and disinformation can spread rapidly online, so we call on social media platforms, tech companies and news organizations to work with us to prevent and counter harmful information.

Although 98% of cases so far are among men who have sex with men, anyone exposed can get monkeypox, which is why WHO recommends that countries take action to reduce the risk of transmission to other vulnerable groups, including children, pregnant women and those who are immunosuppressed.

In addition to transmission through sexual contact, monkeypox can be spread in households through close contact between people, such as hugging and kissing, and on contaminated towels or bedding.

It is believed that the man is a courier and he had some unhappiness with his employment which lead him to literally “kick a fuss” and made a mess at the void deck.

The Police were later spotted talking to the man.

Netizen who contacted Singapore Uncensored said:

From what I know is that he should be employed but in the end, he got played out and he went on a rampage against the employee that suppose to hire him. The rest I am not sure… So not know the details but the way he behaves I think it’s not fair to the ppl that purchase items online…

1)It’s at Serangoon area.
2)It’s on the 12/07/2022

Was arrested by police and went into lockup for 1 night…

How did the story end I am not sure too maybe the police took over the case as a public nuisance or what I can’t comment.

2 Y.O TODDLER RETURNED FROM CHILDCARE, LAOSAI 12 TIMES IN 24 HRS

0

A netizen shared how her 2-year-old son had diarrhoea 12 times within 24 hours after coming home from the childcare centre.

She ended up having to take him to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital on 14 July, where he was hospitalised for 3 days and was diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis with dehydration.

In layman’s terms, it is an intestinal infection commonly known as stomach flu, where the most common way of getting it is by consuming contaminated food/water, or coming into contact with another infected person’s fluids.

The mother said that her son allegedly got food poisoning after consuming food from Jeewa Catering Services, which caters the food for Jamiyah Childcare Centre.

She said that her son went to sleep after coming home from the childcare centre but started having diarrhoea at 3am.

After being hospitalised for 3 days, he was discharged on 16 July but readmitted to the hospital again three days later for acute gastroenteritis.

The mother said that she had since withdrawn her child from the childcare centre, citing “negligence in welfare” and “poor hygiene practices”.

She has also reported the matter to the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).

The SFA and the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) said that they are investigating a report of suspected food poisoning.

They added: “Food safety is a joint responsibility. While SFA puts in place and enforces the regulatory measures, food operators must play their part by adhering to good food hygiene and preparation practices. SFA conducts regular inspections of food establishments to ensure compliance with hygiene standards, and will not hesitate to take enforcement action if food safety and hygiene violations are detected.”

MAN HEARD HIS 18 Y.O SON PIAK PIAK WITH MALE FRIEND INSIDE ROOM

0

I accidentally heard my 18yo son and his buddy having intercourse. I didn’t even know he was gay.

So my son’s 18 and graduated this year I’m super proud of him and he’s working at a good job and he plans to move out soon which honestly is bittersweet.

Well anyway I just got home from work about an hour ago and my son and his best friend let’s call him Josh came in shortly after and said hi and chilled with me for a bit then went to his room to hang out like always.

His mom is working late tonight so it was gonna be just us and Josh now I guess but that’s fine. I hung out watching TV for a while maybe 30 mins and started getting hungry so I walked upstairs to see if the boys wanted delivery since I was gonna order some.

Well as I was about to open the door I could hear, well… “noises”. Very obvious grunting noises from my son’s room.

I stood there for a second listening out of shock. I’m not upset or mad, I just honestly had no idea. I know he’s never had a girlfriend at least not one I know about but I always just kind of assumed he was straight I guess just because it’s more common? I don’t know I just never really thought about it.

Honestly if anything I’m kind of hurt that if he’s actually into guys, he never felt comfortable enough to talk to me about it.

I know I’m not an expert on this type of stuff but he could’ve talked to me about it or his mom. We both love him so much no matter who he is. After coming to my senses I got in my car and drove out to get dinner and clear my head. I sent him a text saying,

“Hey son I just headed out to get a bite to eat and I’ll be gone for a couple of hours. If you or Josh need anything I’ll be down the road.

By the way, if I never mentioned it before I think Josh is a great guy and he’s welcome in our house any time. If there’s ever anything you want to talk about I’m here. Love you.”

He hasn’t responded yet since they might still be busy which as his dad I definitely don’t need details about that or I embarrassed the crap out of him since subtlety isn’t really my strong suit.

The whole thing is definitely kind of weird and awkward but he’s my son and I love him and I want him to feel like he can talk to me about anything.

WOMAN’S DRESS CAUGHT INSIDE ESCALATOR @ MBS, RESCUED BY SECURITY

TikTok user @herziantyy__ shared on her TikTok page on 26 July, documenting how she got her dress caught in an escalator at MBS.

She said that she knew something was amiss when she felt something pulling at her as she was getting off the escalator.

She then shouted at her friend to press the emergency stop button of the escalator before the situation took a turn for the worse.

An MBS security guard and front office personnel then noticed her situation and rushed forward to help her, as they gave her a bottle of water and asked if she was okay.

A maintenance worker then arrived at the scene soon after, and eventually pulled out the woman’s dress from the escalator, freeing her after about 15 minutes.

She added that she was “totally okay” and that the only thing that was bruised was her “pride”.

GUY GOT HAPPY ENDING MASSAGE WHILE GF WAS AWAY, END UP WITH STD

0

My boyfriend got a happy ending massage and a STI

As per title yesterday my boyfriend of 4 years confessed he got a happy ending massage; while I was away on holiday.

Long story short we went on holiday but he went back home before me because I had more holidays and wanted to spend extra time with my family.. 4 weeks go by, I get home a few days ago and yesterday he dropped the bomb.

While I was away (roughly a week before I got home) he visited a massage parlor while still a bit drunk from the night before, not only that but as the person was rubbing him out, he started to give her some oral too and that’s how he contracted an STI, even though he says he retracted from it cause he didn’t want oral.

He didn’t tell me straight away because I was back home with my family and he didn’t want to ruin my holiday and our relationship while I was having a great time, and also not to put me in the situation of being on a plane for 20+ hours sitting in my own thoughts worrying.

He’s definitely feeling like crap because of it, he can’t explain WHY he did it, he says that this is the first time in 4 years that he does something behind my back and he wants forgiveness.

Now, something I was so sure of was that he’d never cheat on me cause he’s always been an advocate for a monogamous honest relationship and this honestly destroyed any trust I had in him.

I told him that I have no idea how to process this mentally so the best thing is to try and keep it neutral until we go see a psychologist for some couple counseling, he’ll be paying for it and he says he’s willing to do anything in his power to make this right and that he doesn’t want to lose me for something stupid that he unfortunately did.

He seems very apologetic and willing to fix this, he says he’s sorry for the pain he’s causing me and for jeopardizing our relationship.. but now all those words feel empty to me.

Any advice? Thank you! 🙏

9 KUEH MANUFACTURERS SUSPENDED AFTER HIGH LVLS OF BENZOIC ACID FOUND IN FOOD

0

Suspension of 9 local kueh manufacturers’ operations for improper usage of food additives

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) suspended the production of various kueh products by 9* local kueh manufacturers due to the improper use of food additives. The suspension takes effect from 26 July 2022, until further notice.

2 Under the Singapore Food Regulations, the use of benzoic acid/sorbic acid is not allowed in kueh products, except for its filling, which should not exceed the maximum permissible limits. Since the detection of benzoic acid in locally manufactured kueh products in Mar 2022 (https://go.gov.sg/kuehproducts10mar) SFA has been closely monitoring local kueh manufacturers. Benzoic acid/sorbic acid was detected at high levels in the kueh and components (e.g. dough) of kueh, manufactured by 9 kueh manufacturers.

3 In the interest of public health, SFA is taking enforcement actions against the implicated manufacturers and had suspended the production, distribution, and sale of the implicated kueh products which were found to be non-compliance with the Singapore Food Regulations. Food manufacturers should adhere to the Singapore Food Regulations and ensure that only permitted food additives within the permissible levels are used. As a precautionary measure, SFA has also directed the kueh manufacturers to recall the implicated kueh products. The recall is ongoing.

4 Based on the levels detected, consumption of the affected products once or twice is not of food safety concern. Consumers should not consume food containing high levels of benzoic acid/sorbic acid over a long period of time. This is because even though benzoic acid and sorbic acids are common additives which are safe when used in small quantities, studies in animals fed with high doses of benzoic acid had shown disorder of the central nervous system as well as changes in their brains. Animals fed with high doses of sorbic acid had shown effects like reduced growth. Consumers who have consumed the implicated products and have concerns about their health should seek medical advice. Consumers may contact their point of purchase for enquiries.

5 Food safety is a joint responsibility. While SFA puts in place and enforces the regulatory measures, food manufacturers should ensure that their products adhere to all the requirements in Singapore’s food related laws. SFA will take enforcement action against food operators who do not adhere to these laws and would not hesitate to prosecute offenders in Court.

WOMAN LOST HER BABY, HEARTLESS MUM WANTS HER TO TRY AGAIN RIGHT NOW

0

I (19f) lost my baby earlier this year. My husband (27m) is fine waiting to try again. My mom (45f) is pressuring me to start right now.

Earlier this year I lost my baby eight months into the pregnancy and it was really, really tough. Coming home from the hospital without my baby was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

All I wanted to to way lay down in her nursery and cry. My husband was so amazing. He would hold me for hours while I cried, make sure I ate, helped me shower, got me dressed.

He told me that we can try again when and if I’m ready again. I know he wants more but I know he won’t get mad if I tell him that I don’t want to try again (but I think I do, I’m just not sure when).

My mom on the other hand thinks just because I got medically cleared I should be trying again, because she says it’s going to be a lot harder to get pregnant this time.

She also said having another baby will help me heal emotionally, and she says that’s why I’m still having a hard time, and that I might not have as long as I think I do to have kids (she had to have a hysterectomy in her early 30s).

Last night she sent me a list of things that I should be doing. It said stuff like not to drink cold beverages to promote a warm womb and not to eat things that were too spicy.

She said she was going to ‘make sure I was doing these things to make sure nothing else happens to another one of her grandchildren’. My husband got really mad when I told him she said that and now he wants to cut her off completely.

I just feel bad cutting her off because she’s my mom and I know she doesn’t realize how she’s coming off. And I think she just wants to help in her own way.
