AUNTIE SHOUTING AT OLD MAN EARLY IN THE MORNING UNDER HDB BUILDING

A video emerged online showing a woman shouting at an old man early in the morning on Christmas eve, as the two had a heated argument.

The woman was heard shouting at the man, saying something along the lines of “no need to respect,” – the first part of what she said was unintelligible.

It is unclear what they were fighting about or where the incident happened.

Potential penalties

Anyone who makes any noise in excess that is likely to cause annoyance or inconvenience to others in the vicinity or in any public setting could face fines of up to $1,000.

S’PORE REPORTS NO COVID DEATHS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN 3 MONTHS

0

Singapore reported zero Covid-19 deaths on 24 December, the first time in more than 3 months since 19 September.

As it stands, the death toll remains at 820.

Covid cases

There were 265 new cases of Covid-19 on Christmas eve, with 177 of those being in the community and 79 being imported.

The weekly infection growth rate has also dropped to 0.52 to 0.57, and it has been below 1 since 13 November.

Omicron cases

There were also 82 new Omicron cases on Christmas eve, with 17 being local cases and 65 being imported.

MOH said that Covid-19 cases who test positive for the “S-gene target failure (SGTF)” will be categorised as Omicron cases, without the additional whole genome sequencing (WGS)

MOH said:

“From today, COVID-19 cases tested positive for the S-gene target failure (SGTF) will be categorised as Omicron cases, without additional whole genome sequencing (WGS).

Based on our local experience, if a person tests positive for SGTF, it is very likely that it is an Omicron variant. This is aligned to the practice in other countries, and does not change our existing public health actions which are already triggered on the basis of detecting SGTF.

Due to this change, the number of Omicron cases will see a one-time substantial increase from the last update, as samples pending WGS have been included in today’s count.”

S’PORE POLICE REFUTE ALLEGATIONS ABOUT OFFICERS MANHANDLING ELDERLY WOMAN

0

The Singapore Police refuted allegations that their officers had manhandled a 55-year-old woman at Ang Mo Kio Hub, and they issued a statement to clarify the situation.

The allegations first arose online via the accounts @sgnewsdaily and @robinhoot.sg on Instagram, among many others (the allegations that they posted have since been removed).

Here is the police’s statement in full:

“ONLINE POST ACCUSING POLICE OFFICERS OF MANHANDLING A WOMAN IS UNTRUE

1. The Police are aware of a post circulating online alleging that Police officers had manhandled a woman when responding to an incident at Ang Mo Kio Hub on 22 December 2021 at 9.19am.

2. These allegations are categorically untrue.

3. The Police had responded to an incident where a 55-year-old woman had repeatedly refused to put on a mask in a public place. Upon arrival, the officers were informed that the woman had allegedly refused to wear a mask when she was in the supermarket. Despite repeated reminders by the supermarket staff, the woman continued to refuse to wear a mask and was purportedly shouting in the supermarket.

4. The officers subsequently spotted the woman at the Ang Mo Kio bus interchange and advised her to wear a mask. Despite the officers’ continued and repeated advice for her to wear a mask, the woman refused to comply, and spoke to officers in a hostile manner. Officers offered the woman a mask as well, but she refused to accept it. The woman then started shouting loudly, and attempted to walk away.

5. The officers had engaged the woman for more than 15 minutes before arresting her as her conduct posed a risk to herself and to public health. During the arrest, the officers supported the woman to the ground as she was resisting arrest and appeared to want to sit down. The woman was later referred to the Institute of Mental Health for assessment.

6. Strict compliance with Safe Management Measures (SMMs), including wearing a mask in public places, is key to safeguarding the health and safety of our population. Mask-wearing in public places is important to mitigate the spread of infection to others, especially with the Omicron variant spreading rapidly all around the world. We urge members of the public to continue to abide by the prevailing SMMs, to do our part to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Police looking into the falsehoods

7. The Police would also like to urge members of the public to be responsible when posting or sharing any information online, and not spread unverified information or misrepresentations on any incident.

8. The Police take a serious view of such malicious and false allegations, and the authorities are looking into the circulation of the falsehood.”

0

A woman shared how she is married with two kids and her combined income with her husband is $11k/month, she is considering becoming a stay home mum.

Here is the story:

“Hi hi, I am 38f this year with 2 young kids. The elder one will be entering primary school the year after next.

I am currently fully employed and is having thoughts if I should become a stay at home mother when my kid enters primary.

The responsibilities will then to guide them to have good character and also if they need help on homework, I can be there.  M

y spouse is ok with me giving up my job to do this and we are middle income family (11k combined). So it will be an obvious income loss if I stay at home.

Would like to get a sensing from the younger community here .. based on your childhood, did having a stay home parent help you become a better/stronger person?

Or if having both parents working, made you more independent/self confident etc.

Thank you.”

Editor’s note: Would be beneficial for the kids to have someone at home with them but there are always pros and cons.

WIFE NOT HAPPY WITH HUSBAND THROWING ALL THE HOUSEWORK TO HER

0

A woman shared how her husband throws all the housework to her and sleeps, and that she is feeling tired and alone.

Here is the story:

“Just a rant.

I guess most husbands are like that. They don’t want any problems. As long as things appear to be smooth they don’t care what happens behind the scenes.

Even if baby cry during motn feed, also not their problem as long as they don’t need to be the one to wake up to feed. They continue to sleep.

CL cook what do what, how they do is also not his problem. As long as get one CL to come in can already. Whether the wife got get the proper confinement is not his concern.

Maid not clean, clothes, toilet not clean also not their problem. As long as got maid to do housework can already. Son also throw to maid to have breakfast, bath. Ownself sleep, watch show at night. 

Left with mummies the one to catch the slack. Wake up motn to watch over CL, wake up in the morning to breakfast with #1 and watch over everything in the house. If we sound out, we are thinking too much or too fussy. Feels tired and alone.

Rant over. Jiayou to all mummies who face the same as me. We are strong.”

Editor’s note: Hang in there sister.

BROKE GIRL WITH MONEY PROBLEMS CAN’T STOP ANYHOW SPENDING MONEY

0

A netizen shared how his online friend has been complaining about having very little money but still continues to spend money recklessly, like buying game items and lottery.

Here is the story:

“I am privileged to have come from an upper-middle-income family, so I never had to worry about food, shelter, or even my school fees (I’m highly thankful for that). From young, my parents have always stressed the importance of saving up and not overspending, so my siblings and I have learned the importance of money management.

Recently my online friend of 2 years (we only game together and have never met) revealed to me that she was not doing well financially and she always rants to us about how even grocery money is tight and she’s surviving on her bursary to pay the water bills, etc. It sounded like she was really struggling to get by. But at the same time, she’ll also ask me things like “Should I get these $200 wireless earbuds?” Which I asked back ‘oh your old one spoiled?’ And she’ll say nope and the next moment she really bought it. Or I’ll see her whacking $50 on the lottery and buying tons of in-game cash items. When I see her spending like that, I get really worried and also kind of confused. Not to say that you can’t get nice stuff when you’re not doing well, but I seriously don’t think these frequent spendings are justified??

Sometimes I want to lightly advise her to rethink her spending choices but I’d hold myself back because I feel like such advice will only feel like it’s from higher moral grounds. I’ve never faced the same issues as her so who am I to judge or advise her, right? Interestingly, there’s also a theory about savings and impulse to spend. For eg., if you only had $1000 savings, you would think twice about spending $200. But if you’re already in a -$1000 debt, spending $200 would not mean much to you as you’re already in debt. Similarly, if you’d never had much expandable money in the first place, it’s hard to learn about money management which results in even more impulse spendings. It’s a vicious cycle.

At the end of the day, this whole thing is online and doesn’t impact my life but I feel some sort of guilt over being more privileged than others. Yet at the same time, there is no way around this other than being thankful and trying to contribute back to society.”

Editor’s note: If she doesn’t want to listen, then let her learn the hard way.

GUY ASKS HOW MANY DATES NEEDED BEFORE HE CAN TAKE NEW GF TO MAKAN @ HAWKER CENTRE

0

A netizen shared that he started dating online and asked how many dates he needs before he can bring his date to eat at a hawker centre.

Here is the story:

“Hi, I’m a male working adult in my 20s, decent income and have my own car, haven’t been dating since broke up with my ex in uni, just thrown myself into work since I grad…

Recently COVID wfh got more time so back on dating apps, just wondering how many dates do working adults go on before it’s appropriate to suggest eating at a food court/hawker centre? Or do y’all do it after getting together? 

Also is it rude to ask the girl to go dutch on the first few dates?

Cos working adults have different expectations when dating as compared to students on a budget right?

But also can’t be eating restaurant/cafe food all the time right? Haha…

And also I got a few favourite tze char / food stalls that I like that so far no restaurant can beat

Love to hear what you all think about this (esp ladies who’re working)!”

Editor’s note: I don’t think your date will mind, there is no right or wrong when it comes to date locations.

35 Y.O MARRIED MAN CHEATED ON HIS WIFE WITH VIET WOMAN, NOW FEELS GUILTY

0

A 35-year-old man shared how he cheated on his wife of 9 years with a woman from Vietnam and is feeling guilty.

Here is the story:

“I’m 35m, very rich because of investments, and quite good looking with a Hoyas’s gym bod, I know my wife since 17, and have already been married for 9 years with a beautiful 3 years old daughter.

As usual we men do go outside and have some fun and anyhow sleep around (women who think your husband doesn’t… I tell you, if he’s not a loser, he definitely does…),

anyway… I have never fallen in love with any of the flings, up until this year, I met this extremely pretty 21f who’s here from Vietnam on work pass, and we both totally hit it off and fell in love,

I mean… how is it possible to talk for 15 hours on end? And she has so many suitors too, but from my CSI, she also didn’t want to have a relationship since her last boyfriend 3 years ago,

Anyway… Even my intimate life is a daily thing now? Compared to once a week in the past, everything feels so magical…

anyway I admitted to my wife because I don’t want to lie to her, but it’s tragic that I have a daughter and she doesn’t want a divorce, I know it sounds selfish and I get scrutinized because of the social construct of marriage.. but I dare say I am 1000x now more happy that I was in the past,

I’m still guilty to my wife, and I keep giving her money and assets throughout these months. Easily a few million already,

Can advise me on how to overcome this guilt? Because sometimes it just kills me inside, I know I can’t go back to her, because I would be unhappy.

But I still love her, just not in a romance way anymore, I can’t be there for her physically anymore, but emotionally and financially I’ll always be there.”

Editor’s note: You’re a disgrace to men.

MAN WITH “UNDER PERFORMING KKB” SEEKS ADVICE TO SAVE HIS MARRIAGE

0

Please help a man out here. This is really awkward but I’m too shy to ask my friends about this. My drive has gone down a lot over the years.

And even though my wife doesn’t complain about it, I know her drive is much higher than mine. I feel bad not meeting her needs. I’ve tried many supplements like maca/tongkat etc but I don’t feel like it’s of much help.

On top of that, we’re staying apart in our own parents’ house as we’re still waiting for our bto. My wife tried staying over with me but circumstances wasn’t in her favour as my parents changed 360 degrees on how they treated her after we got married. Before was nice but after she’s seen as outsider blamed for every single thing. It’s been very hard on her and she moved back to her parent’s house last year. Because of this, we did the deed only few months once. It’s been emotionally and mentally hard on her and I feel terrible as the husband as I’m not meeting all her needs. ????

I tried to book some staycations this year to make it up to her. But sadly my drive isn’t going to help when we got the opportunity but I just don’t have the drive.

Howwww? Help me please. Are there good supplements that really help?
