FORMER BUKIT BATOK MP PASSES AWAY, PM LEE PAYS TRIBUTE

0

Singapore’s Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong paid tribute to Former Bukit Batok Member of Parliament (MP) Chai Chong Yii upon his passing.

Mr Chai served as an MP for 16 years, after joining the People’s Action Party (PAP) in 1972.

PM Lee also shared about the contributions made by the late Mr Chai to Singapore, notably his efforts in promoting bilingualism in the country.

Here is what PM Lee shared on his Facebook

“Deeply saddened by the passing of former Bukit Batok MP Chai Chong Yii. He did much to promote bilingualism in Singapore.

Chong Yii joined the PAP in 1972 and served Bukit Batok for 16 years. He saw it transform from a rural kampong area housing granite quarry labourers and re-settled farmers, into a modern township. He was much loved and respected by his residents, and served as MP for four consecutive terms.

He also served in several Ministries, including the then-Ministry of Culture and then-Ministry of Communications. As Senior Minister of State for Education, he played a crucial part in launching the Special Assistance Plan schools in 1979. After politics, Chong Yii was an auditor for the PAP until 1996, making sure the party accounts were in good order. He also served as Singapore’s Trade Representative to Taiwan from 1991 to 1994.

Chong Yii will be deeply missed. I wish his family much comfort in this time of loss and grief.”

MAN’S MOTHER DIED IN CAR CRASH, WIFE TELLS HIM TO “GET OVER IT”

0

I’m F32, married for 4 years to “Andy” (M37).

Andy’s mother passed away in a car accident last year. It was totally unexpected. He was super close to her, and it hit him hard.

I tried my best to stay strong for him and offer comfort whenever he needed it, but it has been so hard being his emotional crutch. Andy stayed at home all day, quit his job and barely paid attention to me. I had to pay all the bills.

Soon, I realised that our relationship was dying. Intimacy was long gone and Andy rarely talked to me. I begged him to go to a therapist, and tried all ways to help him. He refused all of them. It broke my heart to see the man I love fall to pieces.

Yesterday, Andy and I had an argument. I came home from a really bad day at work and found him surrounded by rubbish on the couch. I tiredly asked him to please clean it up, but he refused. Something just snapped in me, and I yelled “I think it’s time you get over your mom!”

Andy looked at me like I was crazy, and said “How could you say such a thing? My mother is not like some crappy ex, it’s my mother! And she’s dead.” I apologised, but told him to look at himself – no job, throwing away his life and relationship with his wife.

He said “It’s already so hard, don’t make it harder. I don’t need you scolding me at the hardest point of my life!” I tried to get my point across but he abruptly got mad then left.

I’ll admit – what I said was horrible. It was unfair to him. But I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel burnt out and I desperately need someone too, just like him. I feel so alone every minute of the day.

FAMILY RENTS FLAT AT CLEMENTI, LANDLORD ALLEGEDLY SPIES ON THEM

A Facebook user, Ya Mone Oo shared a horror story about her landlord from hell, who allegedly spied on her family, among other things.

Here is what she said

“I’ve never done this and wish to not do it again. So I was tenant of this particular unit in Clementi BLK 329 (I’m not sure if I’m allowed to expose the address) and was faced with a landlord from hell for the the first time in my life.

We took up the unit and leased for a year. Less than half a year, the landlord asked her agent and my agent to check the unit to see if there were any illegal people staying AT 10PM when there were nobody in the whole unit except us, a family of 3. WE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TOO.

Both the agents came knocking loudly at 10PM and accused us without any prior notice which was a breach of contract.

A few weeks later, another issue happened. My mom invited her friend in the afternoon and when her friend went home. We bumped into the landlord at the lift. Instead of a ‘Hi’, we got “who was that coming out from the unit??”

First of all, why is it your business? Second, we’re paying money and it’s our choice to bring our friends for a visit. (mind you, we rarely bring friends home) From then on, we found out she’s been spying on us like who came in and out of the house. We were horrified. We didn’t have any privacy.

Oh yes, I forgot to add on. She also forced us to use the same Aircon serviceman as hers. Basically to stalk us through the Aircon service man.

Just to reiterate, the whole unit only had our family of 3 and we were paying $2.3K/month. Besides the horrible landlord, we also had a horrible property agent(not sure if I’m allowed to expose her name, again I would gladly expose if I’m able to). We paid so much money for her to take the landlord’s side and always blamed us.

During the handover of the unit, the landlord checked every single tiny details like a mad woman. After living for a year, there will definitely be minor wear and tear. Worst part, there was a statue she claimed to hv left in the unit but it wasn’t. She kept accusing me even when I denied. As I was denying, she said I’m pissing her off???

When we immediately moved into the unit, I messaged the agent to pass the information but she failed to do so. The messages were even lost. Now it looks like it’s our fault when the fault is theirs.

Luckily, we’ve moved out and hence the story.”

GUY DOESN’T WANT GF TO WORK, BUT GIVES HER ALLOWANCE OF $50/MONTH

0

My family was oppressive and strict and when I met my boyfriend, he helped me. He helped me realize I was being treated horribly and I left. They disowned me and I moved in with my boyfriend. It’s been 2 years. Things were good but it got weird.

He doesn’t want me to get a job but he gives me an allowance, but it’s not much. It’s $50 a month.

I like to paint and I can only afford some painting supplies because it’s expensive. I know I shouldn’t complain because it’s his money but I don’t have leftover money to buy anything else.

Sometimes he takes me shopping for clothes but he only buys me like one thing and that’s it.

He always goes out with his friends and doesn’t invite me anymore. He used to bring me along. Well, he invites them over sometimes. But I get bored and lonely at home when he goes without me

A few days ago, I went to see some old friends. I came home at 3 am because we were having fun and I didn’t want the night to end.

When I came, he was awake and angry at me because I left without washing the dishes and I came home late. I was confused why he was so mad I came home late and

I was also drinking so I spoke to him rudely without realizing my tone and he twisted my arm for being disrespectful

I’m bored. I paint or watch Netflix all day and when I told him that, he just asked if I want to have a baby. I’d want to get married before having children. And I don’t want a baby right now.

Sometimes our intimacy is bad and he doesn’t do the stuff I like anymore. We had a talk about it and he promised he would give me more attention but we did it today and he didn’t change at all. He had to go to work but still.

I feel like he doesn’t love me anymore. We don’t cuddle or have nice moments like we used to

He doesn’t like leftovers and wants fresh meals every single day

MAN’S DYING WIFE HAS STAGE 4 BRAIN CANCER & HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

0

My wife (30) and I (M31) have been married for 7 years but together for 10. We met when we were in school and fell head over heels for each other.

She’s my best friend and the better half of me. Her smile brightens up the room, her laugh gives me chills and her eyes are so beautiful they make me tear up. She’s my world. My everything.

About 7/8 months ago she started losing weight, complaining about really bad headaches and just not feeling good in general. She didn’t want to go to the doctor but it got to the point she couldn’t work anymore.

Come to find out she has stage 4 brain cancer. As I’m writing this my wife is getting ready to be moved to hospice care.

She doesn’t have long left to live and we’re making her as comfortable as possible. I stay by her side every day/night, her eyes are still as beautiful as they always are. She doesn’t laugh anymore but she does smile a little.

I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to go on without her, we don’t have kids. she’s all I have. We should be planning our lives together, vacations, starting a family but now I’m planning a funeral.

I can’t show her that I’m scared and heartbroken. I don’t want her to suffer anymore and when the time comes I will tell her it’s ok to let go and be at peace.

She’s not even gone yet and I miss her already. I don’t know what to do, I feel so numb from all of this. It doesn’t feel real, I feel like I’m on loop in a bad bad nightmare that isn’t going away.

I don’t want her to leave but it’s selfish to want her to stay when she’s suffering. She’s my everything, I don’t know if I can live without her. I miss her already. I miss her so much.
