FAMILY NOT ENOUGH CHAIRS FOR HARI RAYA GATHERING, NEIGHBOURS TO THE RESCUE

A video emerged online showing the graciousness of a Singaporean family after learning that their neighbours were short of chairs for their Hari Raya gathering.

The video, shared by @kindnesssg on TikTok, shows the neighbors sharing their stools with a family who lived on the same floor.

The other family then returned the favour by giving out bread to their kind hearted neighbours, as netizens applauded their kampung spirit.

The neighbors apparently have a telegram group chat for everyone on the 17th floor, with the resident asking if anyone could rent out stools.

Their neighbours then called themselves their stool support team and started collected whatever stools they could find.

SINGLE GUY – I CAN’T FIND SOMEONE TO LOVE ME BECAUSE SOCIETY IS MESSED UP

0

To frustrating singles,

Why does life feel so unfair to me sometimes.. it’s getting frustrating that sometimes u just wanna be loved yet u can’t because the society now is kinda messed up.

Everyone’s ideal dream is to get in a relationship and then after get married right? But yet it seems almost impossible, throwing away other factors such as incompatible blah blah.

But why do girls divert their attentions to messed up bois and expect things to go well? Like are single, finding for marriage kinda guy expected to clean up your “ex situation”.

U can’t even get over the trauma and learn to love yourself why bother going to find guys to break their heart just because he is nice and he deserve better when he is already there for u, willingly to commit but u on the other hand just runs away (doesn’t the cycle repeats?)

And is it me or like finding a actual relationship is hard in this society?

It’s so frustrating to the point where I felt that maybe I’ll just die single coz nobody appreciates u despite the amount of effort u put in

Netizens’ comments

  • Being single is also good! Learn to love yourself first. Anyway the more fixated you are looking for the right guy, the harder it is to get him. Focus on yourself and the rest will flow nicely, whether single or attached.

GUY SAYS HIS “MICRO” 5CM MANHOOD IS RUINING HIS LIFE, CAN’T PLEASE WOMEN

0

A netizen shared how the small size of his manhood is ruining his life and affecting his mental health, and is causing him to lose the motivation to look for a woman.

Here is what he said

I’m a 24 year old male with a 2″ erect manhood, this has had a detrimental effect on my mental health.

I have no motivation to look for a woman that will eventually cheat on me like the last one did. It’s made me never want to try again, also I know I’ll never be able to give a girl a wild night.

I feel like my life has no meaning, some of you may read this and think it’s silly, but it’s hurting my mental state to a point where I don’t know how to live my life anymore.

Netizens’ comments

  • There are 2 components to good intercourse for most women. Intimacy and “coming”. Neither requires your manhood at all. Research how to use your hands and mouth and you can leave a woman satisfied. I think a lot of people have trust issues after they are cheated on, its something you need to work to move forward, not the end of dating for you
  • You have more than 2″….You have hands and a mouth. Invest in toys and things. Women LOVE these things! When you care about someone they are enough. You work with what you have and creativity.

MONEY CHANGERS SEEING LONG QUEUES AS SGD HITS RECORD HIGH VS RINGGIT

The Singapore dollar hit an all-time high of SGD$1 to RM3.1984 on Tuesday as of 3.30pm, prompting long queues to spawn at many money changers across Singapore.

Money changers spoke to The New Paper and said that they are expecting the high demand for the ringgit to continue as it weakens against the SGD, and with many people keen to shop across the border.

However, they (the money changers) added that business is still not back to the pre-pandemic levels despite the increase in business, although it is helping the industry’s recovery.

They added that recovery for the industry is still some time away.

The money changers also said that demand for currencies such as the Thai baht, Japanese yen, Indonesian rupiah and Vietnamese dong are also increasing.

This is because of the resumption of travel across the region.

GUY SAYS GIRLS IN S’PORE HAVE ADVANTAGE BECAUSE NO NEED SERVE NS

0

To local women, I’d really like to know how in today’s culture, women are disadvantaged in SG? Cause to me, it seems that being a girl is more advantageous in SG than being a guy. Let’s list a few examples ya.

NS – the BIG one. For all the talk about gender equality by feminists, this is an area that most local women would be happy not being equal in. Meanwhile, guys have to sacrifice 2 years of their prime and the opportunity cost is immense with regards to potential income earned, career progression, relationships, etc. I completely disagree with what Ng Eng Hen said recently in Parliament about compulsory enlistment for women.

Dating – Once again, women talk about equal rights but a lot of them (I didn’t say ‘all’) would happily let the guy pay for all their dates (even if they are earning a similar amount or higher), plan everything for vday and anniversary, be the one to propose, etc while not putting in as much effort. I mean think abt it, if not for the women who want a picture perfect vday celebration of a rose bouquet and candle-lit dinner, most men wouldn’t even care to rmb 14 Feb.

Counter argument to this is that perhaps women need to put in more effort after marriage, especially when children come into the picture. But even then, it’s no denying that women aren’t exactly helping themselves because a lot of local women still adhere to traditional views of gender.

Workplace – the gender pay gap is bull pls.. Justifiably, if you’re the same level as a male colleague doing the same job but getting paid a bit lesser, pls note my 1st point abt local guys having to sacrifice 2 years of their life to NS, whether willingly or otherwise…

And for those who say that not enough females are represented in STEM jobs, erm… maybe do consider that perhaps in the 1st place not as many women are entering these fields compared to men?

A trend I notice at the workplace is how for the sake of diversity, a woman is selected for a managerial position even though there is a more qualified man for the role. I won’t have an issue with this if both the man and woman are similarly qualified, but if the man happens to be more qualified, shouldn’t merit/expertise for the job take priority compared to trying to score diversity points in your annual report?

You may call me bitter (and yes I do admit partly that I’m bitter abt this) but at the end of the day, some of the stuff I say do have grains of truth in them. Some of you may like to bring up how the majority of sexual assault and domestic violence cases are women, but I’d argue that these are not exactly things happening at a systematic level compared to the stuff I’ve mentioned.

MAN ALLEGEDLY HAD 39K GRAB POINTS DEDUCTED, TOLD SUPPORT CAN’T DO ANYTHING

A Facebook user, Muhammad Max, shared how he ordered $137 worth of food via Grabfood and allegedly had his 39,000 Grab points deducted.

He said that he reached out to Grab support for help and they told him that they can’t do anything, and would have to escalate the issue.

Two days passed and he still didn’t receive any emails from Grab.

Here is what he said

Dearest Grab,

I ordered food via your app recently. Costs $137 and some change. I noticed the option to use some of my GRAB points to offset this cost. 39,000 points for $78, to be exact. Noticed, and contemplated, but at the end of the day decided to just keep my points.

Grab,

You charged my card the full sum of $137 and some change for the food. And you also deducted my 39,000 points.

Grab,

I raised this issue via your Chat With A Grab specialist. My Q number was #39. So I left my phone on my dashboard and went on my merry way while waiting for the 38 people to settle their issues.

Grab,

I waited almost 45 minutes before it was my turn, and your Grab Support Specialist ended the chat because I hadn’t responded to the chat within 1 minute.

Grab,

I had to start queuing again, and this time I was #28 in line. I again waited, but this time I waited 25 minutes. Or should I say, wasted 25 minutes, staring at my phone and keeping the screen on by swiping every minute, because apparently your support specialists had no problems making us wait 45 minutes, but couldn’t wait a minute for us to respond.

Grab,

I finally got Rizza online, but upon showing all my screenshot and evidences, told me they couldn’t do anything but had to escalate this issue.

Grab,

It has been 2 days, but not a single e-mail from you.

Grab,

All I want is my 39,000 points back. Please, return me my hard earned points.

Grab,

I’m beggin’…

UNCLES ATTACKED MEN THAT THEY THOUGHT WERE CUTTING QUEUE, JAILED

Two men were charged and sentenced to jail for assaulting two other men at a taxi stand at Boon Keng MRT station, after mistakenly thinking that they were cutting their queue.

Xie Fubao, 66-years-old; and Chen Taiqing, 59-years-old, pleaded guilty to one charge of voluntarily causing hurt, with the latter facing 4 more charges for gambling at an illegal gathering.

Xie was sentenced to 4 weeks imprisonment, while Chen was jailed 7 weeks and fined $4,000.

The incident happened on 20 November 2020 at about 11.10pm, with the two victims, a 52-year-old Sri Lankan man and a 56-year-old Caucasian man waiting for their private hire car, according to Shin Min Daily News.

The private hire car arrived and the two men were trying to board their ride, when Chen mistakenly thought that they were cutting their queue to get into the taxi.

They got into an argument and Chen then punched the Sri Lankan man in the face, resulting in the man falling down.

Chen then threw a punch to the Caucasian man, who tried to retaliate but missed and eventually ended up on the ground as well.

The two Chinese men then continued to rain blows on the Caucasian man on the ground.

A passer-by witnessed the incident and called the police, who arrived at the scene a short while later, and the Sri Lankan man was found with a bloodied head and sent to the hospital.

He was given 5 days MC and billed $479 for treatment.

The Caucasian man suffered from a bleeding nose and his face was covered in blood as well.
