A video emerged online showing a schoolboy alighting from a car in the early hours of the morning, at what appears to be Anderson Primary School’s drop-off point.
The boy was alighting halfway and his feet hadn’t even touched the ground, and the driver already drove off, resulting in the boy losing his balance.
The student then took a tumble and fell down onto the ground, lying on his back, as he stared at the car in bewilderment.
The boy then got up and said something to the driver, and a traffic warden at the school then came up to check on him to make sure he was fine.
The schoolboy then waved goodbye as the traffic warden closed the door behind him.
A 27-year-old former Grab driver, Mohamed Razin Mohamed Omar, pleaded guilty to one charge of outrage of modesty and was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment on 20 January, as well as 3 strokes of the cane.
Another charge of kissing the victim on her lips was considered during his sentencing.
He had picked up a 16-year-old girl and asked her personal questions before driving her to a secluded area where he kissed and molested her.
What happened?
In the wee hours of 21 November 2020, Razin picked up the victim who was on her way home, sitting at the back of his car.
Razin asked her about her age, her secondary school, and her personal life while trying to strike a conversation with her.
The girl answered his questions and told him that she was 16, to which Razin asked for her number before asking her if she wanted to “go somewhere”.
The victim said “anything” as she didn’t know what he meant.
Razin then drove his car to a dimly lit, secluded area on Bulim Street and he then got out of the car, asking the girl to alight as well, to which she complied.
He then started asking the girl more questions, before re-entering the vehicle and sitting at the back with the girl.
He then asked her if she had kissed any men before, to which the girl said no.
Razin then suddenly kissed the girl multiple times on her lips at about 1.45 am, to which the shocked girl then said “I don’t want” and pushed Razin away.
Razin then grabbed her hand and placed it on his crotch, to which the girl then withdrew her hand, but Razin then grabbed her hand and forced her to perform an explicit act on him.
The victim managed to eventually pull her hand away from Razin and told him that she wanted to go home, and Razin then sent her home.
As the girl was paying the fare for the ride, Razin asked her for a goodbye kiss, which she refused and hurriedly returned home.
She then made a police report a few days later about the incident.

According to Oriental Daily (Malaysia Media), the deceased’s father said that her daughter usually spends time in shopping malls in her friends and it was the first time her daughter ever went to a river.
He added before her daughter disappearance, she WhatsApp her daughter to chat about daily life on the same day. His daughter said that she would go out to work at 7:00 am and that was her last ever reply.
The deceased was closed to her elder sister and would text daily talking about work.
Funeral
The tuition centre where the deceased work contacted her parents and said that they appreciated his daughter’s work performance. The tuition centre also paid and arranged for the funeral.
Unfortunately, her family will not be able to make it to the funeral.
The funeral home staff will deliver the ashes to his uncle in Johor on Friday, and then relay them to the eldest daughter (23) who is working in Kuala Lumpur, and then the eldest daughter will take the ashes back to her hometown.
Sister posted a message on Instagram
Each time I explain [what had happened], I can’t help but cry.
I am very grateful to all of you who had paid attention to this matter and had worked hard to help forward our appeal [to find my sister] via social media. To every person and every voice and for your concern, I am very grateful.
The local police had confirmed that she was found on 18 January 2022, 11.30pm by the waterside. She was identified from her fingerprints.
Maybe death to her was a form of release. Though she may have experienced the kindness around her, she was unable to ignore the malice in her life. She knew that she shouldn’t have [done what she had done] and she had previously sent out signals of distress. She had tried her very best, but she simply was unable to set them aside. She has chosen to end her pain in her own way. She does not want us to be sad. She is a person who will not cause trouble to others.
I still remember the last call we had, and I was talking about how I had called grandma to help her with the New Year’s groceries. Grandma told me that [the duty of looking after] the house will eventually be passed to you. My daily conversations with you were always full of these dialogues [about our family and your mental state], and it hurts to listen to your uncertainties. I feel so helpless but you were willing to share them with me, and, at least, this was better than you keeping them all to yourself.
I’m sorry that I’ve not been a good sister, but I’ll try my very best to live for you. In the next life, I am not going to live out that part of your life for you. Let’s be together [again as sisters in our next life], is that okay [with you]?
The deceased, Xu Yixuan, had been working as a tutor in a tutoring centre in Singapore for just four months. He lost contact after get off work on Sunday (16th) evening. His body was found floating in the Abi Abi River in Pasir Ris, Singapore, on Tuesday.
A woman shared how her debit card was hacked by an unauthorised user, who spent about $2,700 on numerous things, including AirBnb and Instagram followers.
The reason why I’m sharing this is to spread awareness and alert others to pay attention to their bank accounts if they are missing any money.
On 27 and 28 December 2021, because I was busy with work, I didn’t pay attention to my bank account transactions and monetary deductions.
I only noticed the money missing on 19 January earlier this year.
I called the UOB hotline and the agent told me that the debit card was used by an unauthorized user and that the bank will return the money to me within a week.”
A netizen shared how his grandfather’s motorcycle was hit by a lorry while on his way home from work along KJE, and underwent surgery.
The family of the man is now appealing for witnesses of the accident to come forward with information and/or evidence of the accident.
Here is the story:
“*Appeal for Witnesses*
Just like any other days in the last 2 decades, my grandfather would have made his way home from work via KJE route. Sadly, it did not happen on the 17/1/2022 (Monday).
His motorcycle was hit by a lorry (Vehicle No. XD4649Y) at the KJE towards Corporation Road/Jalan Bahar (opposite of Home Team Academy). The accident had occurred at approximately 5:25pm.
Consequently, my grandfather was admitted to NUH and was diagnosed with a spinal cord shift compressing on his nerves due to the impacts from the hit accident. A major spinal surgery was urgently organised,
otherwise, it would be of a potentially permanent disability case, i.e., paralysed.
We would like to express our gratitude to the Good Samaritan who had stopped by to attend to my grandfather.
We would also like to appeal to members of public who had witnessed this accident on the 17/1/2022 (Monday), at approximately 5.25pm at the KJE towards Corporation Road/Jalan Bahar (opposite of Home Team Academy), to come forward to providing the information/details/video recordings.
A netizen shared how he was out one night with his siblings to buy some snacks from the supermarket when he saw a ghost of a little girl standing under a lamp post by herself.
He then asked his siblings if they could see her and they told him “no”.
Here is the story:
Alright, so where do we begin? Simple, we start when I was graduating from poly and my family threw a graduation party for me.
We were having a blast with music, food, games, jokes, and just celebrating me taking my next steps in life. One thing to note is that I never drank until I turned 21.
Anyways, I went out with my brother and sister to buy some more drinks and snacks from a nearby supermarket and I notice this random little girl, I think about 5 to 6 years old, standing by herself with her hair covering her face, under a lamp post. Mind you it’s about 11 maybe 12 at night, so no kids should be out that late.
So, I turn to my siblings and I’m like, “Oi, you got see that girl over there? Look like ghost sia HAHAHA!”
My siblings both look and say, “what girl? there’s nobody there…” and I’m looking at this little girl and insisting that she’s standing right in front of us, plain as day.
So I asked an uncle who was passing by if he sees the little girl under the lamp post, and he says nobody is there.
I immediately ran away and abandoned my siblings. And as I was running, I turned back to look at where the girl was standing and she was no longer there.
I’m 26 now and things haven’t changed much, I still have these experiences and do see “them” from time to time.
A netizen shared how his wife and son passed away in an accident and he spent more time with his cousin, and they ended up sleeping together.
Here is the story:
I’ve been sleeping with my cousin for the last seven months.
Three years ago my wife and son passed away in an accident. My cousin who lived with her mother stayed with me for a few months to help me out.
During that time nothing explicit happened but we found ourselves snuggling while watching movies and one night we fell asleep on the couch together.
We both sort of just laughed it off.
About eight months ago my maternal aunt passed away and I offered to help my cousin sell her mom’s house for her to stay with me for a while.
We quickly fell into a home routine and found a lot of joy with each other.
One night we got drunk while watching TV and ended up kissing and making out like teenagers and slept in the same bed that night.
The next day we said we shouldn’t peruse this and just leave it alone. We then had intercourse that night and almost every night since then.
I have a vasectomy and neither of us have a desire at our ages to have babies and the only family alive other than us is her father who hasn’t been involved with her life since she was a teen.
We are looking at actually moving in together; we do wonder if this ‘secret’ will be an issue in the long run.
