GIRL ACCUSES MAN OF “STARING” AT HER, BUT MAN WAS ACTUALLY WATCHING TV

0

A girl posted a video onto TikTok alleging that a man was “staring” at her in the gym, and netizens soon came to the defence of the man.

The TikTok user, Michelle Lim, had posted the video onto her TikTok account @michxlim on 19 January, showing the man in a white T-shirt allegedly “staring” at her.

She captioned her video “filmed to confirm my suspicion because he kept staring at my direction”.

Lim then included the hashtag #gymcreeps in her video, and added the caption “Exercise: 10 sets of staring at girls in the gym”.

She then purportedly referred to the man touching his nose in the video by adding a line “remember to santise before using machine guys,” in her video.

The girl then added “watch how he slowly checks out the girl” in her video, showing the man pacing around the gym and stopping for a short while to “look at her direction”.

Man was actually watching TV behind her

A TikTok user by the name of @dontanyhowrecord, posted a video showing a television right above the gym equipment where Lim had likely placed her camera to record the man.

Lim then turned off the comments on all of her videos and posted a statement to explain and apologize to the man.

Here is her statement:

“Hi, my name’s Michelle and I go by my social handle: @michxlim. You probably have seen the video where I have filmed and uploaded a particular gym user who happened to be at the gym the same time as me on Tiktok. I have since deleted the video.

I remember feeling uncomfortable while doing my walking lunges as we made eye contact frequently. I felt unsafe at that point of time and when I switched to my next exercise at the cables, I decided to film him for evidence (in case anything happened to me). It was getting late, I left the gym shortly after and looked through the video while I was on the way home. Hence, approaching him or the staff didn’t come across my mind.

While I was editing the video, I just wanted to get my point across that everyone should feel safe at a public space that is commonly dominated by the males. And females should be free to choose their outfits based on their likes and preferences and shouldn’t be judged for it. That’s all.

I’m fully aware of the consequences now and I should have handled the situation better. I had no concrete evidence to show to the public that the guy was staring at me as the video was filmed discretly on ground level and at an awkward angle. Additionally, posting one’s personal privacy to the public is illegal and could have serious damage on one’s future aspects such as reputation tarnishing.

I’m sorry to the guy I’ve posted in the video – Also, I don’t have your contact. Please reach out to me so I can apologise to you personally too.”

ILLEGALLY IMPORTED M’SIA BAK KWA STOPPED BY ICA FROM ENTERING S’PORE

0

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) posted on their Facebook about illegal imports of Bak Kwa and pork floss being stopped from entering Singapore by officers from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

Here is ICA’s statement:

“Looking to get your favourite bak kwa (Chinese sweet meat jerky) from overseas this CNY? Check that it’s allowed before purchasing! Meat and meat products such as bak kwa and pork floss can only be imported from approved sources. (Yes, even if it is for personal consumption)

Over the past two weeks, Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers at the land checkpoints have foiled attempts to illegally import a total of 169 cartons and 11 packets of unapproved assorted bak kwa, and 3 cartons of pork floss from Malaysia. Thus far, there are no establishments in Malaysia approved to export bak kwa and pork floss into Singapore. SFA is investigating these illegal imports.

Illegally imported food products are from unknown sources and can pose a food safety risk. Consumers are advised to purchase from established retailers. When in doubt, ask for more information from the supplier about the source before purchase.

Offenders who import meat products illegally are liable to a fine not exceeding $50,000 and/or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, and in the case of a subsequent conviction, to a fine not exceeding $100,000 and/or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years.

Safeguarding Singapore’s borders remains top priority for ICA. ICA will continue to conduct security checks to detect and deter illegal importation attempts so as to keep Singapore safe.”

FATHER DONATES 9 Y.O DAUGHTER’S ORGANS, WHO DIED AFTER BEING PUSHED BY STUDENT

0

A 9-year-old girl in China reportedly passed away after she was accidentally pushed by her classmate and hit her head into a wall, resulting in brain damage.

The girl’s father, Huang Qin, made the painful decision to donate her organs in the hope that she can live on in other people.

What happened?

According to the South China Morning Post, the 9-year-old girl, nicknamed Tongtong, was attending a primary school in the Qinzhou, Guangxi Zhuang region of Southern China.

A classmate had run out of the classroom to go to a physical education lesson and knocked into the girl, causing her to hit her head against a wall – the girl then fainted.

CCTV footage showed the physical education teacher helping the girl, who had lost consciousness and whose arms and head were hanging down.

He then gave the girl some red sugar water after she regained consciousness and asked her if she was comfortable, to which she shook her head.

The student who pushed Tongtong was then summoned to the form teacher’s office, and Tongtong was asked if she forgives the student.

The teacher then told Tongtong’s father that she forgave the classmate who accidentally pushed her.

The girl’s father said that his daughter was too young to realise the seriousness of her injury when she ran out to rejoin the PE class.

Failed to inform father immediately

Huang said that he wasn’t informed about the incident until a few hours later despite the seriousness of the injury that saw her faint on the spot.

He recalled the last thing that his daughter said to him was that she forgot to have her lunch, “those were the last words my daughter ever said to me”.

He scolded the teachers and blamed them for not detecting the problem sooner.

Huang noticed an egg-sized lump above his daughter’s ear and he then called the ambulance, but the ambulance didn’t come so he drove her himself to the hospital, by which time the girl couldn’t swallow anymore.

The doctors then found blood in the girl’s brain and decided against operating on her, and the girl then died from brain damage about 9 days later.

Donated organs so she could live on in others

The grieving father cried when he signed the paperwork to donate his daughter’s organs, deciding to donate 7 of her organs including her heart, corneas and kidneys.

He said that he just wanted his daughter’s heart to continue beating and hopes that she could stay in this world in another way, as well as motivate others to live on.

Prior to the reinstatement, travelers were previously required to just isolate for one night.

Thailand’s Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) also announced the presumption of the Test & Go scheme, and they have said that all nationals are welcome to participate in the programme.

However, they have also added that the rules are subject to change.

Regulations

The CCSA said that under the test & Go programme, travellers must:

  • Provide proof of payment for two RT-PCR tests for their application
  • Stay in a SHA Extra Plus hotel that’s partnered with a hospital on the first and fifth day of their visit.
  • have insurance that covers both quarantine and hospitalisation, should they test positive for the coronavirus.

MONITOR LIZARD FOUND WITH CABLE TIE AROUND ITS NECK @ SUNGEI BULOH

0

A netizen, Loke Peng Fai, shared a photo onto the Facebook group Singapore Wildlife Sighting, of a monitor lizard with a cable tie around its neck.

Here is the story:

“It pains my heart to see this picture.

The monitor lizard is suffering and dying of slow death. Its neck was tied and it is choking on its own food.

Did someone do this on purpose? Or is it trapped by the litter we throw? We will never know the answer. One thing for sure is that it is caused by humans.

Please don’t litter. Treasure our nature and save our environment.

Nparks have been informed. I understand that they are aware of this and trying to get to the lizard for some time now but have not been successful

Just want to clarify one point, I didn’t notice the ‘clamp’ when I took the photo. Only much later at night after I downloaded the photo then I realized what happened.

The main purpose of this post is to educate the public and to create awareness.”

“WELL KNOWN” CATHOLIC FIGURE CHARGED FOR EXPLICIT ACTS WITH UNDERAGE BOYS

0

A man in his 60s who is described as being a “prominent” and well-known figure among Singapore’s Catholic community, was charged earlier today for offences against at least 2 underaged boys in 2005 and 2006.

He cannot be named because of a gag order protecting the identities of the victims and the school where the crimes allegedly occurred.

The man is facing two charges of carnal intercourse against the order of nature under section 377 of the 1985 revised edition of the Penal Code, which has since been repealed in 2007.

The man is also facing two more charges of exploitation of a child under the Children and Young Persons Act.

What happened?

The man allegedly engaged in fellatio with one of the boys, who was then aged between 14 and 16, sometime between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2006.

He then allegedly made the younger boy who was then aged between 14 and 15, do the same thing between April and December 2007.

He is also accused of committing an indecent act with the victims by performing an explicit act on them in 2005 and 2007.

A psychiatric evaluation for the man was then called and he is due to return to court on 3 February.

SINGLE MOTHER-OF-ONE WHO EARNS $1.9K/MONTH, LOST $49K TO SCAMMER

0

A woman shared her experience being scammed of close to $49k, as she warns others not to fall victim to the scams like her.

Here is the story:

“Hi all,

This is my personal experience with this scam and I hope to warn more people not to fall prey to this

I believe most people have heard of scammer praying on people who wants to make more money for their family. Yes I myself fell prey to one scam.

I am a single mother. Being a PR here is not easy as we do not enjoy as much subsidy as a citizen. My son is a citizen and hence I am stuck here.

The living standard in Singapore is very high, I myself alone sometimes do have trouble keeping both of us alive. That’s why when there is a chance to earn more money, I would do it for the better future of my son.  Anyways, I’m going to cut short my introduction.

What happened was, I got to know this “GUCCI Mission” through a telegram chat group.

So what this scammer does is, they will give you a mission to verify a GUCCI product.

Thereafter, you will have to make a transfer of the amount for that product to a PayNow account allocated by the “merchant”

After a while, you will get back the money you put in, plus a small commission.

Things went on smoothly and after a few transactions, I made a mistake for not reading PROPERLY.

So I was given a task, in fact, 2 tasks to buy 1 product valued at $6,110 for 3 pieces, meaning in total I have to fork out $36,6600.

So as I did not read properly, I only paid for 1. So this is a mistake I made. The merchant then told me to make payment for another 2 more pieces, which I did. Thereafter, they told me that I did not notify them before I make a transfer, that’s my mistake number 2.

so in order to release the entire amount which I have put in, I have to complete another mission which is in total to fork out another $36,660 to fulfill the mission in order to release all my funds back.

Stupidly, I went around borrowing the sum to make payment. I was not in the correct state of mind at this point in time. And finally, I manage to beg n borrow the final $36,660 and transferred them.

Lo and behold, they said that because of the mistakes, the entire transaction was frozen !!!! Can you imagine what is going through my mind?

So then comes the thaw mission which I have to fork out another $30k to do another mission. I was shocked and my mind went blank.

After calming myself down, I feel that I might be a victim of a scam.

there is no use talking to them, I called the bank to report this issue.

The banks said that recovering the money is very slim. my heart really sank.

What started out as a mother trying to give my son a better life now landed me in a pool of debt. I am at a loss.

My income is merely only $1900 a month, how am I going to repay the loan!

I am blaming myself, for being foolish and stupid that I had just lost $48,880.00

A police report had been made, but I doubt it will be useful in recovering the funds. now my only worry is survival.”

GUY TREATS GF LIKE A PRINCESS, BUT GF TREATS HIM LIKE FREE LABOUR MAID

0

A netizen shared how he has been dating his girlfriend for more than 2 years and she expects him to do all her stuff.

She’s so lazy that she even asks him to help her charge her phone when her phone is just an arm’s length away from her.

Here is the story:

“I’m in a relationship with my partner for 2 years+ now and the problem is she expects me to do all her stuff when she’s over at my place from doing her laundry to making her breakfast, I have to fulfill everything she asks me to do.

Sometimes she even asks me to help her charge her phone when it’s just an arm’s length from her…

I know she’s tired from work as she’s working as a front liner but I myself have work too! Just because I’m working from home she assumes I have nothing important to do…

Doing all that I get nothing in return from her sometimes I just want to have a slight intimate time with her but she just shoves me away and either says she doesn’t like it or if I continue she’s going to be unhappy…

please advise me what I should do…

Isn’t there a saying ‘if you want to be treated like a princess, treat him like a king first?'”

Editor’s note: Give her a taste of her own medicine.
