Singapore, 14 March 2022 – In line with the simplification of Singapore’s Safe Management Measures

“With Singapore’s progressive reopening, it is timely for us to review the entry measures at Sentosa’s
beaches.

We are pleased to observe that the large majority of our guests have been socially responsible, and we are therefore removing the requirement to book beach visits during peak periods.

As we mark Sentosa’s 50th anniversary this year, we look forward to welcoming more Singaporeans
and guests as they enjoy our beaches and various Golden Jubilee commemorative experiences,” said
Ms Thien Kwee Eng, Chief Executive Officer, Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC).

To avoid over-crowding at any area of the beaches, beachgoers may be directed to another area if
necessary.

Charles Law Chang Teck, 38-years-old, pleaded guilty to one count of voluntarily causing hurt using a heated substance.

He was sentenced on 14 March to 12 weeks imprisonment for throwing hot porridge at a 66-year-old hawker.

Law was angry that the egg that he got in his porridge order was raw, and threw it at the victim, causing the victim to suffer 2nd-degree burns.

What happened?

Law was at Whampoa hawker center sometime in early 2020, when he ordered porridge with an egg to takeaway.

He then discovered that the egg that he got was raw, and he then told the hawker that he wanted it cooked.

The hawker then told him that he should have told her earlier, and Law then got unhappy because the porridge was for his son.

Law then removed the lid on the takeaway container, and there the hot porridge at the hawker; causing her to be scalded on her face, arm, and chest.

An eyewitness told Law to leave because he was scared that he would create more trouble, before telling the victim to call the police.

Girl I’m seeing likes married men

I’ve been seeing this girl for the past 6 months. I think she’s a nice person and we have good chemistry and I am very attracted to her. I want to take things slow because I am very interested in her. I come from a broken family so I also want to make sure we are compatible before getting serious.

We are not teenagers anymore so I understand that she’s been in relationships before me. She did not talk much about her past but recently she revealed 2 of her previous bfs were actually married men.

I was kind of taken aback by this information. I try to be objective and asked her how did she get into it and how did it end. Long story short, I didn’t like her answers.

In summary she was interested in them while knowing they are married. She also made the first move. The relationships ended because the affairs were exposed. She was dumped.

I sensed a hint of triumph when she was describing the relationships.

I grew up watching my father cheating and abandoning us. So I am rather triggered to hear her reveal that she had been the other woman. Not once but twice. A part of me is telling me this is not going to work. Another part of me is telling me I should give her a chance.

She say she will not do such things again because it was mental torture and she has grown out of it. She wants to have an open and honest relationship from now on.

Should I continue to see her? Do people really change? I don’t want to invest and get hurt later on. Before knowing this I actually think she could be the one. Now I feel lost.
