A 32-year-old man will be charged in court on 13 July 2022 for his suspected involvement in money laundering.
In July 2021, the man had allegedly used a corporate bank account of a locally incorporated company and other personal bank accounts belonging to others to acquire at least S$100,000. These were believed to be illicit proceeds from fraud perpetrated overseas. He allegedly transferred most of the proceeds to other individuals in Singapore and overseas and used part of it for his own benefit.
The man will be charged under Section 47(2) and Section 47(3) of the Corruption Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act (“CDSA”) for allegedly transferring and using the criminal benefits of another person.
Anyone found guilty of acquiring, using, transferring, or assisting another to retain benefits from criminal conduct under the CDSA faces imprisonment of up to 10 years, or a fine up to S$500,000, or both.
The Police take a firm stance against any person who may be involved in money laundering, 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 their bank account as they will be held accountable if the bank accounts are linked to crimes.

Boss is being a toxic b—-. My official working hours is at 8am and she love to comes in so much earlier like 7.30am etc.
I reached office at 8.00am or 7.50am, she will still comment that I am late and reports it to our Manager.
I don’t understand why people love to make life difficult for others when we are just trying to put bread and butter on our plate?
Can’t we just work peacefully and head home to our loved ones?
Don’t wish to change job because it reflects badly on my resume but I feel that she is being a bit*h to find fault in every aspect. She’s only 29 years old, shouldn’t younger people be easier to get along with?
Any advises on how to “get along” with this thing? I don’t want to step on her tail.
Netizens’ comments
Just tell ur manager u reached before your official time of 8am.Better if u can prove it with employee pass tap in or tell ur manager to confirm with CCTV.
Maybe there is a misunderstanding – can try letting her know you understand your working hours starts at 8 am so you have been aiming to get to work at the time, so not sure why you are considered late.Maybe consider what other issues there are also that’s leading to this.
u confront about your timing with her and your manager involved. it might not solve everything but at least u have people aware what time you reported to work.

A 25-year-old student from NUS, Luke Levy, who held up an anti-death penalty sign during his graduation ceremony, is being investigated by the police following the lodging of a police report.
Levy has posted a series of tweets documenting his actions at the graduation ceremony on 11 July.
Here is what he said on Twitter
“Gather round, folks. Here’s a story on the sign I held on stage at my graduation, calling for the abolition of the death penalty in Singapore. And how NUS tried their hardest to erase it.
Gather round, folks. Here’s a story on the sign I held on stage at my graduation, calling for the abolition of the death penalty in Singapore. And how NUS tried their hardest to erase it.
BTW, the death penalty should be abolished. It ignores how deliberate state violence and ignorance forces many into poverty and crime. It unjustly kills the poor. It is not an effective deterrent of ‘crime’. And there’s no acquittal for those found innocent after execution.
When I went up on stage, I unfolded this sign from my gown pocket. It read “Abolish the death penalty. No to state murder. End poverty, not life. Blood on your hands”. I held that sign as I walked on stage, took my on-stage photo, and left the stage, sign in hand.
It was a small act that I knew could inspire others to take similar action. To stand against violence, to fight for those disproportionately affected by the death penalty. To recognize how power drives violence. To stand in solidarity, love & empathy with everyone.
An act NUS wants to erase. NUS took down the live recording of my commencement ceremony, only to reupload it later with an edit. If you go to around 1:14:54 in this video, you’ll see the most obvious jump cut in the world, omitting my time on stage. https://youtu.be/uRxP_xRhjlU?t=4494…
In the official stage photograph (that I paid for, for my own private display), the photo studio actually took time to try and edit the words on my sign out. You can still make some words out though, thank goodness they didn’t do a good job with it.
NUS (and others) went through the EFFORT to crop the sign out. To erase the message from existence. To pretend nobody who studied there thinks this way and is taking action on this. To say ‘all is well’ by excluding something uncomfortable to their institution.
Thing is, NUS could’ve just… not acknowledged it. But by taking the EFFORT to do that, they’re trumpeting that they would silence anything that threatens their power, even if it’s a call against violence.
It makes them complicit in maintaining hierarchies of power in society. Hierarchies that neglect, that exploit, that turn people against each other, that kill. They’re an institution with state ties, after all. They dare not go against what that grants them academic power.
I gave my space on stage to Kalwant. To Norasharee. To those on death row now. To those already executed. A small, A4-sized disruption, to acknowledge that even taking the stage is a privilege built on a system of violence that oppresses many in society.
Apparently, for an institution that thrives on ideas, papers and works from their staff and students (many of whom I loved to learn with), a single sheet of paper is too extreme of a push for change for them to live with, to the point where it becomes a need to redact it.
I’d just like to end this by echoing (& tweaking) a quote from the speaker at that same ceremony, Georgette Tan. “Don’t be afraid to use your voice. Know your worth. Be strong. Stand up for yourself, and [especially] others around you.” https://youtu.be/uRxP_xRhjlU?t=1908… “

The Ministry of Health (MOH) earlier confirmed Singapore’s second local case of monkeypox on Wednesday (13 July).
The infected person is a 48-year-old British man living in Singapore, and his case is not linked to the previous cases here.
With his latest infection, this takes Singapore’s total tally for monkeypox to 5 (of which 3 were imported and 2 local cases).
MOH said that the man had tested positive for monkeypox on 13 July – he found rashes in his perianal region on 6 July before having a fever on 11th July.
He sought medical treatment on 13 July and was thereafter conveyed to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) later that day.
He is currently stable and warded at the NCID, with contact tracing efforts ongoing.
Nowadays, more and more people like to put fish tanks as decorations in their homes, and among the “aristocrats” among the fish, the indispensable thing is the dragon fish (Arowana), whether it is the golden dragon fish or the silver dragon fish, in short, if the fish tank is not raised A dragon fish is like no fish. Because it is so popular, the price of dragon fish once rocketed up.
Recently in Zhengzhou, Henan, a man shared a sad story.
The thing is, the man bought a small silver Arowana three years ago, and it was only more than ten centimetres long when he bought it. After three years of careful breeding, he finally managed to raise a length of 30 to 40 centimetres.
Due to a fault with the water pump, the silver Arowana started dying, which made him sad.
The man said that when the fish was still alive, he quickly changed the water pump and changed the water, but he still failed to save the fish.
He asked the pet shop what to do? The other party suggested: “Steaming!” The man thought it was too reasonable, so he cleaned the silver arowana and started steaming, and put a lot of shredded green onions. When he entered the mouth, he boasted that the meat was fresh and tender, and ate two bowls of rice with tears in his eyes. .
It is understood that the silver Arowana has attracted much attention because of its shimmering metallic lustre-like and armour-like scales, bright light and majestic demeanour, and has become one of the precious ornamental fish. One silver arowana even sold for SGD$60,000 in the past.
So I can understand why the man was reluctant to let the silver dragon fish die, and he was even more reluctant to waste such precious “ingredients”.
Netizens were also enthusiastic about this:
“That’s okay? After my dragon fish died, we dug a hole under the tree and buried it. Seeing your operation, I actually regret it a little.”
“In this way, its body and soul nourish the cells in your body. Since then, you have been integrated and never separated, and he has been reborn in your body.”
“My house too. The power went out and Yinlong died. My heart ached for a long time. My brother couldn’t bear to steam him in the middle of the night to eat by himself. I didn’t dare to look at it.
The Singapore mann who is being accused byu a Vietnamese woman that he met at a KTV of scamming her money, marriage and accommodation, has since come out with his POV on the allegations.
(Link to the Vietnamese woman’s post is at the bottom of the article)
Here is what he said
To anyone who is here due to the slander post made by the fake account named *name redacted* , this is for you. After reading this, I hope you are able to see the truth and report the post on my behalf as Facebook has yet detected it as a post that violates privacy (my address is included in the post). The initial sharing of the post at Singapore incidents have been taken down after emailing them but she has continued to add my friends and shared it on other groups and pages.
I am only going to post this and the rest can be handled by the authorities if needed. The relevant photos will be attached.
First off, a police report has been made against her for slander and privacy violation.
The person in question is named *name redacted* , 32 years old. She is a Vietnamese “working” in Singapore, and yes we met at the KTV.
Accusation point 1 (marriage scam):
We were dating and I brought her back to my house for cny dinner (2022). The day after, she told me to meet up for dinner and said that she is pregnant. The child definitely not mine as we did not have any intercourse. She claims that she was raped while at work. Our initial plan was to date for 2 years but due to the child, we decided to hasten to marriage process.
TLDR: I did not scam her into marriage, she was carrying another man’s child and I agreed to hasten to marriage plans (probably should have seen the red flag right about now)
Accusation point 2 (scamming for accomodation):
She requested for a change of accomodation, which I took slightly more than a month juggling work and going for viewing. In total we stayed about 2 months at the condo we rented.
Out of the two months, I stayed less than a month and she had a friend coming over to stay at the house which I willingly agreed because she claims that her friend was chased out by her own ex husband. (Another red flag which I should have heeded)
She claims that she paid for the rent and I did not.
I personally paid the deposit of 6.8k and one month rent of 3.4k. she paid for a month rent.
TLDR: she claims I did not pay for rent but I was the one to put down 6.8k deposit along with a month rent while she paid 1 month rent. I stayed less than a month and she was staying there with her friend for two months.
Accusation point 3 (scamming her money):
I did not take a single cent from what she earned. The OCBC card was applied for her so she could have her own card to use for transport for online payments. She did deposit her earnings inside for a week but stopped. Later on, she requested to withdraw all the money which I did for her. Subsequently, any money inside the card was deposited by me with my own money for her expenses and transport which she used to shop instead. Also, everything from daily expenses to utilities and even gynae was solely paid by me.
Money is most probably the reason she is doing all these. While we were dating, she has shared with me that there were people accusung her of cheating their dad’s money, I defended her throughout but admittedly I was too dumb to see the truth.
TLDR: She withdrew all the money but claims that I have took her money. In fact she has been spending my money.
Accusation point 4 (impersonating a police officer):
I worked as a forensic officer and quit my job on 30th June for other jobs to pay off the debt that she has left me with.
Relevant points to note:
After about a week of staying at the rented house, she was pretty much ignoring me while I was staying there. And yes, I actually did apply for marriage, our solemnisation date was in April. I thought her character change was due to pregnancy and stress from family financial problems so I endured the way she treated me and only ranted to my friends for comfort. It was mentally and emotionally draining.
As the solemnisation date drew near, we were still in the same state and I asked if she still wanted the marriage and her only reply was “just do what you want to do”, it was never a yes or no. I was serious about the marriage so I didn’t want to give up. At this point, we were already planning to transfer the lease of the house, I wanted to forgo 1 month deposit and approach the agent (at least I still get one month deposit back) but she suggested the she could find new tenants and we agreed she could have the one month deposit.
Good news is we did find new tenants. But it is also around this point that things got really ugly. I have already moved out way before so I contacted her through phone to ask her and her friend to move out she she refused until I passed her the deposit. I told her that the documents have to be signed and the house has to be back to the original state before I could do that. She started accusing me of cheating her money although I promised.
Closing in to the last date of our rental, I demanded that she and her friend to move out in a few days or I will call the police, of course it was an ugly situation. I waited a few days and went over to the house with my friends.
What we found was the lights and all the water was kept running, fish sauce was poured all over the house including beds and sofa. Bottles of coke opened and left on the floor till it became goo. Damage to the sink and other appliances. Tell me honestly, at this point, who would still give her the deposit, and I had to pay for cleaning of the house and repairs. being 32 years old, she also hide the keys and remotes controllers at random corners of the house.
Till this date, she is still convinced that I owe her the deposit. And recently she added the part where I scammed her money.
I have said my part, I hope you guys see the truth to this matter including the photo evidence that I will be providing in this post.
The Internal Security Department (ISD) said in an annual terrorism threat assessment report that the terrorism threat to Singapore remains high.
And with the relaxation of pandemic restrictions and resumption of cross-border travel, terrorists may “become more active and revisit plots that had been put on hold. “
ISD’s statement
• The terrorism threat to Singapore remains high. There is currently no specific intelligence of an imminent terrorist attack but Singapore continues to feature as a target on terrorist propaganda. With the relaxation of pandemic restrictions and resumption of cross-border travel, terrorist elements may become more active and revisit plots that had been put on hold.
• The threat from Islamist terrorist groups and their violent ideology persists. Their virtual network of supporters continues to disseminate propaganda, raise funds and plot attacks.
• The spread of radical ideologies online has fuelled the self-radicalisation threat in Singapore. Since 2015, 45 self-radicalised individuals – comprising 33 Singaporeans and 12 foreigners – have been issued with Orders of Detention or Restriction Orders under the Internal Security Act. 13 of them – three Singaporeans and 10 foreigners – have been convicted under the Terrorism (Suppression of Financing) Act for terrorism financing offences.
• Ongoing developments abroad, such as in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Ukraine, could also affect our security landscape. Extremist elements can exploit such conflicts and tap on grievances to promote their radical narratives and recruit supporters. It is important to maintain a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of hate speech and extremist rhetoric.
• Public vigilance and preparedness are key components of our defence against terrorism. Anyone who knows or suspects that a person is radicalised should promptly contact the ISD Counter-Terrorism hotline 1800-2626-473 (1800-2626-ISD).
