PRC MAN HOLDS WOMAN HOSTAGE @ MBS FOR 12 HRS, WANTS HER TO PAY HIS DEBTS

A woman was held hostage by a 25-year-old man Huang Yang from China for 12 hours, and robbed of $70,000, according to Zaobao.

Huang Yang was sentenced to 3 years and 2 months imprisonment on 28 March 2022 as well as 12 strokes of the cane.

What happened?

The two had met up at the MBS hotel on 20 March 2021 and had intercourse, and when the woman walked out of the shower without any clothes on, Huang tied up her hands and legs with tape.

He had planned to rob the woman before their meeting so that he could pay off his debts from his failed business and gambling in China.

He managed to get the woman to reveal her phone’s password and pin and he then accessed her bank account after forcefully pushing her.

He then transferred money from her account to a few other third-party bank accounts throughout the night and the next morning when she woke up, he told her to make some transactions using her credit card.

She reportedly lost a total of SGD $72,800.

Huang then kept the victim tied up throughout the night and watched her when she used the toilet, and when he was releasing her, he threatened to leak her explicit photos and information to her family.

The woman tried to cancel the recent transactions with her bank after she was released but failed, and she then filed a police report.

Huang was then arrested on the same day.

NICKI MINAJ DEFENDS WILL SMITH – HE’S GOT A FRONT ROW SEAT TO WIFE’S PAIN

Rapper Nicki Minaj weighed in on the Chris Rock and Will Smith fiasco that happened at the Oscars and defended Will Smith’s actions.

She also said that had Chris Rock known about Jada’s condition, he wouldn’t have made that joke, but asked that between him and his whole team, no one told him about her condition?

Here is her full statement

The husband gets a front-row seat to his wife’s pain… he’s the 1 consoling her… drying her tears behind closed doors when those cameras go off. Social media has made ppl feel that these “husbands” won’t ever run into them in real life.

ACADEMY – WILL SMITH REFUSED TO LEAVE CEREMONY AFTER SLAPPING CHRIS ROCK

Actor Will Smith could be expelled from the Academy following his very public assault of comedian Chris Rock, as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said that they have begun disciplinary action against the actor.

A statement by the Academy said that “while we should like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognized that we could have handled the situation differently”.

“The Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Will Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy.

Mr. Smith is being provided at least 15 days’ notice of a vote regarding his violations and sanctions, and the opportunity to be heard beforehand by means of a written response.

At the next board meeting on April 18, the Academy may take any disciplinary action, which may include suspension, expulsion, or other sanctions permitted by the Bylaws and Standards of Conduct.”

Will Smith has since apologised publicly to Chris Rock via Instagram and the Academy during his acceptance speech, but has yet to address the latest statement by the Academy.

HUSBAND ACCUSED OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT WORKPLACE, WIFE DONO HOW TO RESPOND

A woman shared her story online after her husband was accused of harassment at the workplace.

Here is what she said:

My husband told me 2 women at his workplace have accused him of sexual harassment and he needs my support.

My husband denied everything and said he was being set up. He said the 2 women tried to seduce him, and wanted to take revenge for being skipped from the last promotion exercise. We had some other issues all along but I don’t have any inkling that he would do such a thing. I’m thinking that I should support him but at the same time I find it may also be true. I don’t know how to digest this news. Being a victim of a similar situation during my younger days, I don’t believe a woman would lie about this and I feel quite triggered to hear this.

How can I find out if this is true or not? I think if this were really true I would be so devastated that he could do such a thing.

Here are what netizens think:

  • I’ll talk to the two women to assess what they are saying and review any evidences they may have. (Like inappropriate messages etc) anyway HR will launch an investigation as well. I find it far fetched ppl will accuse someone of this over a promotion, but hey who knows right?  actually both their versions could be true.It could be that he promised them promotion, took sexual advantage of them and went back on his words. Hence they are upset now and reported sexual harassment. Anyhow I wouldn’t blindly support him just cos he’s my husband.
  • Not one but two.. that’s quite telling.Support does not mean denial .. it means to forgive.
  • The truth could really be either way but I think let the HR investigate if it’s a formal case.Everyone usually will side the accusers but I have seen an ex-boss at work face sexual harassment accusations from colleagues that turned out to be false. A lot of these reports happen because employees are unhappy with their colleagues or bosses and its easy to throw such accusations now that cancel culture and equality are such a big thing.

‘KAREN’ TOLD BUS DRIVER TO’GO BACK TO CHINA’ WHEN THEY ARE IN CHINA

We have all seen our fair share of Karens but some of them are embarrassed not themselves but also “wherever they come from”.

In a video that has recently resurfaced, a Karen told a Chinese bus driver to go back to China while they are both in China.

Even after telling her that “We are in China”, she kept repeating as if she is right.

Neitzens were embarrassed of her behaviour and said: “My goodness I’m horrified at her behaviour in a country that she is obviously not a native of! I would have had a piece of her had I been a passenger”

USA WILL ALLOW TRANSGENDERS TO MARK ‘X’ IN PASSPORT APPLICATION UNDER GENDER

0

According to a report by CNA, the United States of America (USA) will start to allow their transgenders to mark an ‘X’ on their passport applications under the gender section.

This was announced by the US government on 31 March 2022 and will take place from 11 April 2022.

This will allow Americans who see themselves as Transgenders to choose an ‘X’ on their gender regardless of their gender in previous official documents.

The White House said that this decision was made because for way too long, Americans who identify as gender neutral were not able to travel safely within the country and around the world and they were also not getting the respect which they deserve.

It added that this move is a major step in the President’s commitments to expand access to identification documents which accurately mark the genders for the non-binary people as well as the transgenders.

The TSA is also working closely with airline companies around the country to promote the use of the new ‘X’ gender identifier and for it to gain acceptance so that passenger processing can be more accurate and efficient.

There are currently two major domestic airlines who have a third gender marker option for their customers in their reservation systems with another airline to join the two in offering this option later in the year.

Procedures were also changed by the TSA so that gender considerations can be removed when checking out a traveler’s identity at airports and checkpoints.
