I got a text from ‘sgpost’ (no number) that I had a failed delivery attempt. i went to the website and it asked me to pay $2 for re-scheduling the delivery. i did. i put in the otp. after some time, it said payment failed.

Another otp was immediately sent to my phone when I generated it. it was so quick that i failed to see that a transaction of $3200 had already occurred and that you (my credit card bank) had sent the usual text to call them if unauthorised. I put in the new otp and the same process happened again. but this time, i saw the unauthorised transaction oF usd2000 above the new otp generated.

I called uob within 3 minutes.

It was only during this phone call that i was informed of the earlier transaction i missed. my police report was filed immediately that night and within hours an officer was assigned to my case.

i’m still trying to resolve these transactions with the bank.

My boyfriend nearly cheated on me with another guy (yes a guy). My boyfriend isn’t gay and he claims that he isn’t bi too. We agreed on having no physical intimacy until we are wedded.

Many months back when he went for his routine swim at the Safra in Toa Payoh, he saw a guy hanging around in a shower cubicle and felt the guy was looking for more. My boyfriend says the guy tried to hint him which got him curious and through easy google he found a forum called Blowing Wind where men were openly discussing and searching for these activities.

By sheer luck, my boyfriend saw a posting about a “missed connection” and the description matches the guy. My boyfriend reached out to him and they chatted. My boyfriend confessed over time the chat turned S in nature as that made him very curious and the guy was slowly making his move.

(My boyfriend found out from one other member in that forum that this guy swims regularly there and had regularly tried to get guys into his shower cubicle before and made posts in the forum for missed connections. Are such incidents not prohibited?)

A few weekends ago the guy made his ultimate move and dated my boyfriend to meet near a boardwalk in Macritchie Reservoir to show him how to have ‘fun’ but it was a no-show. Although he was a no-show, he continued to make relentless attempts and moves on my boyfriend, including sending photographs of his parts. It was before their second planned appointment that I found out. My boyfriend had left their telegram chat open on his computer and I saw their conversation.

I tried to confront the guy on the Blowing Wind forum but was met with hostility such as threats that I was harassing and doxxing (I suspect some of the hostility might be from him anonymously). He removed all his contacts so I had no choice but to confront him there in a public sphere, I wanted to do it public to shame him for the hurt he has done to me. He has not apologized till this date and the owner of that forum has also blocked the topic. I am so shocked that he was in the wrong but I am ridiculed and they condoned his wrongdoing.

What should I do next to get the apology and warn him not to come near my boyfriend again? He actually has a girlfriend himself and I pity the girl whom likely have no idea what her boyfriend is doing behind her back.

Singaporean activist Gilbert Goh shared how he saw an uncle eating leftovers at Waterloo hawker centre, and he then decided to buy him a chicken briyani meal.

Here is what he said

Felt sad to see this man eating leftovers at Waterloo hawker center and decided to buy him a yummy $5 chicken briyani meal which he quickly finished.

He looks homeless with his bags and speaks incoherently. He doesn’t really look familiar to us as we ply Waterloo area frequently.

I was happily tucking in my own briyani when I saw him sitting down and consuming some leftover food and teh tarik.

Our eyes met and he signalled me to purchase for him some fresh food – maybe he recognized me.

It’s a simple request to meet as we have being distributing lunch packs weekly at Waterloo.

We just wish that hawker stalls are kind enough to pass him a simple meal if they happen to see leftover-food consumers plying the area.

Waterloo also has one of the highest leftover food consumers and though we are there regularly to distribute free meals weekly, we may have miss some along the way.

It is estimated that Singapore has close to 100 leftover-food consumers mainly concentrated in elderly matured estates such as Chinatown, Bendemeer, Beach Road, Toa Payoh, Redhill, Ang Mo Kio, Waterloo among others.

If you happen to see someone eating off the table, please buy them a meal – that will do wonders for them and restore their faith in humanity.

Do something good for Singapore – a charity movement to alleviate the hardships of displaced elderly Singaporeans.

In a video sent to us by a reader, a woman was filmed shovelling what appears fertiliser along a pedestrian walkway.

The netizen who posted the video said: “Woman equipped with tool and a trolley bag, scooping and made away fertilizer from plants along the pavement.“

Here are what netizens think:

• The fertilizer got the smell she like that’s why she take them home

• Some people obviously are not poor and they want to save every cent they can.

• Maybe there is something wrong with the woman’s mind?

Potential penalties

Taking soil or fertilisers from the roadside is not legal, this is considered theft. The jail term for theft can go up to 3 years.
