This is the 6th death recorded in August 2021 due to Covid-19.
An ex-student of Temasek Polytechnic has recently shared with us about a haunting experience she personally encountered while studying in Temasek Polytechnic.
Here is her story
“About 15 years ago, I was a freshmen in Temasek Polytechnic. I did not believe in supernatural things all my life till this encounter that I faced while studying there.
I remember it was close to 7pm when I entered the female toilet to do my business. While I was doing my business halfway, the lights in the toilet suddenly went dim.
Suddenly, the smell of frangipani flowers flooded the air, and I heard a very eerie high pitch laughter.
The doors to the cubicles beside me suddenly began to slam open one by one, and the laughter was getting louder and louder.
As the doors beside my cubicle slammed open and open till it was the cubicle beside mine, I suddenly heard the spirit saying very cheekily “SATU LAGI” which meant “last one” in Malay and laughing hysterically.
I fainted after that and when I woke up, my friends were beside me and I was breaking out in cold sweat.
My friends tried to ask me what happen and I told them that I was tired and fell asleep because I did not want to scare them.
Ever since that encounter, I have never dared to step into that toilet again.”
So here I am, alive and somewhat well. I’m not going to give a detailed update/explanation as I don’t want this matter to go viral, though I think you guys really do deserve one. Long story short, there was indeed a tinder stalker who had conspired with the maid of the apartment I used to live in.
Apparently, she had a thing for SCDF guys, and I became her unlucky victim after matching with her.
She paid $20 to the maid to slip that amulet underneath my pillowcase. The maid actually gained entry into the room when my roommate was on medical leave one day and she offered to clean our room a little. After confronting her with the landlady and my grandma, she finally confessed. A police report had been made, but I later withdrew it out of sympathy, on top of my grandma asking me to avoid drama like this, and besides, I didn’t want this to drag on for long.
It’s not really much of a happy ending. Though I’ve got little to no belief in such superstitions, I believe I shouldn’t have opened up the amulet. A string of bad events and occurrences happened, and as a result, some family conflicts occured and i’ve been ditched by some family members and relatives. An imam has confirmed that it was indeed a safety/luck amulet, but somehow its powers were rebuked when I unopened it.
I would like to thank all the people who’ve contributed to helping me with this matter at that time. Especially those who had a sense of humour; you have no idea how trembling I was when I saw that picture of myself in that package. As a word of caution, please, oh please do keep yourselves safe in this day and age of digital stalking.
Thank you guys once again, and God bless. Julius.
“Long story short, woke up this morning to find an object in my pillow. It was a white small package, wrapped with multi coloured thread and sealed with a wax stamp that had a star on it.
Opening the whole thing up was tough. it felt like layers of adhesive paper one on top of the other. when i finally managed to open it up, i was horrified to find a green piece of paper with what seems to be arabic text written on it.”
A domestic helper who had stolen her employer’s cash on multiple occasions while working here for 7 months has been sent home prematurely.
Her employer decided to outsmart her and eventually caught her red-handed by using a clever ploy by marking her cash.
The employer was also kind enough to not report the matter to the police, and let the helper off by asking her to leave Singapore and go back home.
According to the employer’s son, the helper would often short change the elderly woman when buying things and also use up the household necessities quickly on purpose just to have more chances to go for shopping trips.
This eventually caused the elderly woman to suspect that the helper was stealing from her.
How the helper got caught
The elderly woman discussed with her family members and then decided to mark 4 different bills of $10 from 1-4 and placed her bag in a specific location in the house before leaving home.
When she came home, she realised that the bag had been moved and decided to confront the helper to surrender her belongings for her to check.
She eventually found one of the marked notes on the helper and even though the helper denied stealing at first, she admitted to doing it in the end.
The helper must have thought that because of the elderly woman’s age, she would be an easy prey.
A netizen has recently posted on Facebook promoting her Roasted Bak Kwa business.
In her ad, she uses the two underworld gods, Dua Li Ah Pek to promote her bak kwa business.
According to Chinese beliefs, Dua Li Ah Pek are considered two underworld Gods of wealth, and people who bump into them or seek their help are usually rewarded with wealth.
Apparently, this brand of bak kwa (Hock Wong) is also very popular and has been sold out during Chinese New Year, and people who have ordered and tasted it before have said that it is really delicious and tasty.

A netizen recounted a story about his experience during the 15th day of the Hungry Ghost Festival.
The 15th day of the Hungry Ghost Month is said to be the peak of the festival, where the hungry ghosts are at their most powerful.
Here is his story:
“It was the 15th day of the Hungry Ghost Month, and I had just returned from some drinks with my friends.
It was about 11pm, and I had an early day at work the next day, so I hurried home despite being a little bit intoxicated.
I live in a HDB flat, you know the ones with the CCTV inside the lift, and the little TV outside at the lift lobby showing the CCTV footage?
Yeap, that was the type of lift at my block.
So as I was waiting for the lift, I glanced over to the grass patch beside me and saw some families burning offerings and I realised that tonight was the 15th day of the hungry ghost month.
I didn’t give much thought to it and just waited for the lift to come, as I watched the CCTV screen.
There was nobody in the lift.
The lift doors open and I went in, pressing my unit’s floor button as the lift door closed.
I was alone inside the lift.
I smelled something foul and thought I had stepped on dog shit or something, so I looked down at my feet to make sure, but i didn’t step on anything.
I looked up from my feet and glanced at the lift door, and from the reflection, I could see that there was a woman standing behind me.
She wasn’t there before, did I miss her entering the lift with me? Am I too drunk that I didn’t notice her walking into the lift?
As the lift reached my unit and the doors open, I turned around and looked behind me.
There was nobody inside the lift.
I hurriedly ran home, quickly opening my door and closing it behind me while muttering a silent prayer.”
A netizen shared with us recently a story of how he used to be the father of many nations but now because of Covid-19 he only one people one nation.
This is his story
“Hi, I am a married man of almost 10 years with two boys.
Officially, I have two children which are legally recognised and I have three in China and Thailand which I only provide for but do not recognise.
I suspect that I have more children, but I do not know who they are.
I used to work in a big MNC, which requires me to travel around a lot. I travel mostly to China but I have been to most parts of the world.
Travelling around a lot means I do get lonely, and when I do get lonely, I decide to meet different women to have a good time.
I do not like to wear helmet when I f*ck them and sometimes accidents happen.
At the start when these women tell me that they are pregnant with my babies, I felt the need to be responsible to them. Therefore I send money to them to take care of the children.
After a while, more women from different countries that I have f*ck*d on my business trips start to message me saying that they are pregnant with my kids.
Thats when I decided that it is too much and I decided to block them and cut them off when they tell me these news.
After having the three children, I always buy a SIM card when I go to these countries and do not connect with them on social media, which is why it is easy to cut them off.
My wife is still ignorant of my doings and I never ever want to let her find out about this because I scared she cut off my kukujiao.
I never expected my commandos to be so strong.
Now with COVID-19, I do not have the chance to be a father of many nations anymore.”
