A fire extinguisher was seen shooting out of a high rise skyscraper in the morning of 10 August.

It had burst and shot through the glass window on the 23rd storey, falling down onto and rebounding off the ground floor, crashing through the glass of an opposite building.

The extinguisher had apparently expired and burst before flying through the window, smashing it in the process.

According to The Straits Times, and spokesperson for the Singapore Land Group said that the unfortunate incident took place inside a vacant unit at around 10.30am during reinstatement works by a contractor.

Nobody was hurt from the incident.

Further investigations are ongoing.

On August 12, 2021, Xu Yixuan, a 26-year-old Singapore citizen, was sentenced to seven months in jail for harbouring an immigration criminal. During the sentence, a second charge of harbouring another immigration criminal was considered.

Vice

Two female PRC nationals, Huang Huoying and He Lei, were found to be participating in vice activities in a residential unit in Tampines during a combined operation by the Police and the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) on 4 November 2019.

Both of them had overstayed their visas in Singapore.

On March 24, 2020, the ICA performed additional inspections on the unit’s principal renter and arrested Xu. Xu signed the tenancy agreement for the residential unit sometime in October 2019, according to investigations. On October 27, 2019, he rented the flat to Huang and He for rental rates of $110 and $120 per day, respectively. Xu continued to live in Woodlands in his own home.

Xu had committed an offence of harbouring immigration criminals under the Immigration Act by failing to verify that the PRC nationals’ immigration permits were valid at the time when he rented the apartment to them. Both Huang and He have received warnings for their overstaying offences since then.

Punishments

Saw a few posts here related to certain religious groups which are allegedly affiliated to a Korean cult and would also like to share my experience when I was an undergrad. I was invited by my not-so-close JC friend to join a religious group when I first started out in school. I didn’t have many friends so I thought to myself, why not join this group to make more friends?

The members seem very friendly at first and I really grew to like them. However, there were a few things that felt weird. Firstly, most of the members are females, and mostly in their early twenties and are quite attractive.

Secondly, we were not allowed to tell anyone outside the group about the existence of the group and we had to come up with a list of reasons of what we have been up to, in case our family members asked.

Thirdly, we could invite our friends to join the group but only after providing a photo of them to our group leader along with a brief background of our friend. The friends we plan to invite are also encouraged to be female, in the same age group and best if they are single. Apparently, the more friends we invite, the more powerful we can be and the more we will be rewarded in our afterlife.

The last and the most alerting indicator was that the lecture materials during our sessions had very poor grammar and frequently included images with Korean origins. Sensing something was amiss, I did some research into Korean religious groups and chanced upon this group called Providence where their leader is a convicted rapist who duped the female members to have sex with him.

I got cold feet about the potential shit I got myself into and stopped attending the sessions.

The leader contacted me multiple times and told me that I will be punished for leaving the group, and that I will never be able to find a boyfriend and will be single for life. Jokes on her, I got married after graduating and am expecting a boy soon.Would like to encourage students to open your eyes big big and be super cautious when dealing with religious groups. You never know whether whether a h**ny leader lies underneath the innocent exterior waiting to prey on their foolish followers.

A photo emerged online showing a peculiar notice pasted outside a toilet/changing room.

A netizen took a photo of a toilet at NUSS, where a notice stated that the changing rooms and toilets are only for people who are vaccinated.

It is unclear how the non-vaccinated people are gonna pee.

Husband has been lying about workplace habits – often comes home about an hour or two late. His Grab bookings are sometimes strange – he works in the West side of CBD, but sometimes his Grab pickup points are at like East CBD, and I know it’s too far to walk since I work East CBD.

At least, it’s too far to reasonably walk just to get to a Grab pickup point, but he insists that he walks there because there isn’t any one responding to his booking near his office for a while and that’s why he’s late? Also, recently he’s been insisting on a paternity test for our kid, and I’m not sure why this is? So I’m not inclined to agree to it, there’s no good reason to go for it in the first place. Bit of background, I met him just as I was leaving the SAF (ended contract early) and we kinda hit it off.

So we were hanging out as friends for a while. During that time I had this on and off relationship with a guy in camp, and we had sex quite regularly. A day before my husband officially asked me out, I’d ended things with this on and off guy, but we had sex one last time, kind of like break-up sex but not really?

We weren’t really in a proper relationship I’d say, and we all know we weren’t exclusive to each other – he was most likely sleeping with other girls too. Because of that, I’ve always insisted on protection, and there was nothing different about this last time. So the next few months went by without a problem, and then my husband proposed to me (pretty fast, I know) about 6 months later. I found out I was pregnant about 2 months after, and so the whole process was kind of a rush. So I’ve no reason to believe our kid is anything other than our kid –

I’ve only ever done it unprotected with my husband. But my husband’s insisting on a paternity test despite the fact that it’s pretty impossible for our kid to be like, not his? I’m not sure what this is about, honestly, I think I should be the one asking him about his late nights and unusual Grab bookings?

Is he just deflecting the issue or something?

A man was caught after his girlfriend found out that he sneaks behind her and go find special service outside.

Here is the story:

I feel so hurt by my Malaysian ex-boyfriend who is also my co colleague currently that can break up with me without hesitation. I heard from my other colleague that he went to find prostitutes and he has always been doing that. My ex also told me before that he went to find them years ago but not anymore. I’m not sure if he did go and find when we were together for that 1-2 months.

I feel so dirty because I don’t know how many women he touches before he touched me and now touching other women again. I feel so angry and disappointed that he doesn’t know how to love and cherish his own body and let those prostitutes play with his body and he playing with theirs. No wonder he always told me that he doesn’t have much money, now I know the reason is that he spent it on prostitutes. I gave my true feelings to him when we were together yet he treats me like a fool.

I’m suffering here yet he is enjoying happily outside. I don’t know he is such a person and a jerk. Every time I see him at the workplace it hurts me. I really feel like scolding and confront him why is he such a person when I see him every time. Do you guys think he deserves a scolding from me?

Or what punishment should I give him for playing with my feelings? Now I need to learn to let go of him.
