POLICE: NEW SCAM VARIANT FROM EMAIL & SMS

According to the Police media release, a new scam variant that involves job and online gambling is out.

The messages are typically sent from an email address ending with “@163.com”

Job scams

The victims would receive an SMS promising a high salary, the job entails performing a simple task such as adding items into online shopping carts, liking social media posts, and performing bank transactions to receive commissions.

The victims would be promised a fee for tasks performed and the scammers would lead the victim into installing an application for “receiving commission payments”. However, no payouts are ever made.

Online Gambling scams

Victims received messages that promises high bonuses for opening an account on the online gambling sites, after depositing money on the website. The victims would be informed that their account has been frozen.

The victims will be told to deposit again to unfreeze the account.

By then the money is long gone.

TRAFFIC LIGHTS OUT OF ORDER, KIND MAN STAND IN MIDDLE OF ROAD TO CONTROL TRAFFIC

A video emerged online showing a man standing in the middle of the road and trying to control the flow of traffic at the road junction.

He was seen in the middle of the road waving his hands to tell the cars when and when not to go.

Apparently, all the traffic lights at the road junction had stopped working, and the kind samaritan then took matters into his own hands to help out the drivers.

The incident happened at the road junction of Yishun Central near the Yishun Pond Park.

It is unclear who the man in the video is or when the incident happened.

Editor’s note: Much respect to the kind man for doing his part to help the other drivers get to their destinations safely.

MAN ALLEGEDLY INTOXICATED, CRASHED CAR ONTO KERB THEN KEEPS GOING IN & OUT OF CAR

A video emerged online showing a man crashing his car onto a kerb outside Sengkang General Hospital.

He had allegedly hit a car before turning to the hospital and crashing into the kerb, he was then seen going in and out of his vehicle repeatedly after the accident.

After a while, the driver then alighted (again) from the car and walked away from the scene of the accident.

Allegedly intoxicated

The voice of another man could be heard, seemingly appearing to be talking to someone else (presumably making a police report on the phone).

The man was heard describing the scene that he was witnessing:

“He is intoxicated, erm… The driver is here but then he keep on going in and out, in and out, then he- he is very drunk now”.

0

A netizen shared how she was recently caught cheating and lying to her boyfriend, but she reasoned that her intentions for lying are good and wants him back

Here is her story:

“Hi, me and this guy had been dating for 3 months. I was recently caught for cheating and lying to him and we had a huge argument.

He eventually accepted me back into his life and we were in the process of recovering from this cheating. I know I’ve hurt him as he is very sensitive and overthinks a lot.

But I was caught lying about the details of the cheating during our recovery period.

I was lying about the details so he would not leave me. He feels that he is being betrayed and is breaking up with me.

My intentions are good. I lie so he would not feel disgust. I’ve been working on myself and our relationship, ever since I am caught.

I really like him and want him back. What should I do

Please keep me anonymous”

Editor’s note: I think you should leave him alone and go away.

MOH: NO MORE DAILY PRESS RELEASES ABOUT COVID-19 NUMBERS FROM 7 DEC

0

The Ministry of Health (MOH) said on 6 December that they will stop issuing daily releases on Covid-19 infection statistics from 7 December onwards.

The daily updates will be provided on MOH’s website instead, where the public can access the information such as hospital capacity, infected patients’ statuses, the progress of vaccination, and the number of cases.

MOH said that they will continue to use the week-on-week infection growth ratio as an indicator of the virus growth speed in the community.

If the aforementioned ratio rises very quickly above 1 on a sustained basis, it would indicate that infection is spreading at a faster rate and potentially the start of a new wave.

At the moment, the present wave is subsiding and infection numbers are stabilizing, MOH said that we can expect the ratio to trend towards 1.

MOH will continue on their updates to the public on significant developments and information that includes the Omicron variant through the regular media statements.

THAILAND DETECTED 1ST CASE OF OMICRON COVID-19 CASE

0

Thailand reports the first case of the Omicron Covid-19 variant on arrival from Spain.

Bangkok Post reported that the man is a 35-year-old U.S citizen who arrived in the kingdom from Spain via the United Arab Emirates.

The man arrived in Thailand on November 29.

Thailand Health authorities are currently conducting tracing and finding out who and where the man has been to.

The man had only received 1 dose of the vaccine and he was found to be in contact with multiple airport staff and 17 hotel staff.

Although Thailand has banned entry from Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe due to the Omicron variant.

It is still evident that the variant has spread across the world.

Thailand is the 47th country to detect the variant, blocking individual countries does not seem to be a very effective counter measurement against the new variant.

To date, Thailand has more than 2 million confirmed cases but experts believed that the number could be higher due to rural areas and those who are not displaying any symptoms.

NEIGHBOUR DRIPS WATER FROM UPSTAIRS CAUGHT ON CAMERA

Singapore – We all have our fair share of neighbors that behave like they own the whole HDB block. A man recently posted on social media to highlight the problem.

Facebook user Les Littleyellow posted on Facebook to share how his neighbors would often do some washing at the Balcony area and let water drip downstairs near the laundry area.

This is the same as those who hang wet clothes that are still dripping wet outside the window.

“Whoever live in West Plain Block 467C, unit xx-559 and find out your laundry never dry, this is why…”

West Plain is an HDB estate located in Bukit Batok.

The man attached a video in a Facebook post, with a woman carrying a pot of water and sounds of water pouring down could be heard.

Netizens who saw the video commented and said that they face similar situations in their units

“It’s very common with such problems if you are staying in HDB flats. Complain also no use. Just have to bear with it. My top unit crazy woman every day will pour a big pail of water out from the kitchen window. All my clothes wet. I complained until siah liao. TC said they will advise the woman. But nothing improve till today.”

It seems that this is a very common issue in HDB estates and there should be penalties for such inconsiderate people

RICH GF REFUSE TO COVER UP WHEN STRANGERS VISITS HOME

My girlfriend comes from a wealthy background and grew up with maids, chefs, chauffeurs etc. I was raised in a completely opposite environment and still adjusting to dating someone like her.

When we’re not with her parents, we spent a lot of time at one of her apartments. Here’s the issue: my GF likes to walk around home barely wearing anything which is fine (awesome even) BUT she does this even when the ‘help’ is around.

For example last month her family hired a new driver for her. He stopped by the apartment to introduce himself. She was only wearing underwear. Keep in mind, this is the FIRST time they’ve met in person. I felt awkward, he was visibly awkward and she didn’t give a shit at all. She was casually chatting to him while scrolling away on her phone.

She does this all the time. She doesn’t think she needs to wear any decent amount of clothes at all when people that work for her are around. She will casually walk around wearing just a thong OR a tiny crop top (just a crop top, nothing else).

She even does this with complete strangers! One time she opened the door for the delivery guy wearing only a see-through gown. You could see everything. Afterward, I talked to her about it and she was utterly confused as to why I felt uncomfortable. Then she laughed and told me to “stop being a jealous baby”. She even said that I’m unreasonable.

We had another discussion about this yesterday and I told her that she probably wouldn’t feel comfortable if I did the same. She said that she doesn’t understand why I care what her staff thinks and that it never even crossed her mind that this is inappropriate. She told me that she only does this in the comfort of her home and not in front of“actual people” i.e. people that don’t work for her.

She got kinda mad at me and vented to her friends. According to all of them, I’m “weird” for having a problem with this and an a-hole for telling my GF to cover up.

Somehow I’m the villain of this story. Am I really wrong?
