DRIVER TRAPPED INSIDE AFTER TREE FALLS ONTO CAR DURING HEAVY RAIN

Large parts of Singapore experienced heavy rain yesterday (20 February) afternoon, with the thunderstorm causing a tree to fall onto a car.

The incident happened at the driveway of a carpark at Block 289C Punggol Place, with the tree falling onto a car and trapping the driver inside.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was seen at the scene trying to free the trapped driver from the car by using equipment to cut through the tree.

A large tree branch was also seen puncturing through the windshield of the car, but thankfully it missed the driver.

The SCDF said that they received a call for help at the abovementioned location at around 3.15pm and when they arrived, they found someone trapped inside the driver’s seat of the vehicle.

The driver was eventually rescued by SCDF personnel and there were no injuries sustained.

CPF: ELIGIBLE SPOREANS CAN GO TO OCBC ATMS TO WITHDRAW GOVT PAYMENTS

CPF: ELIGIBLE SPOREANS CAN GO TO OCBC ATMS TO WITHDRAW GOVT PAYMENTS

The Central Provident Fund (CPF) through the launch of the GOVCash in a partnership with OCBC and GovTech is in the process of replacing cheques and has started since November 2021.

Due to this initiative, it will allow Singaporeans who are unable to have money directly credited to withdraw payouts from the government through the OCBC ATMs.

Beneficial for over 40,000 Singaporeans

This initiative will also be beneficial for close to 40,000 Singaporeans as they will now escape queuing at the bank’s branches with their cheques in hand.

Banks in Singapore pay out about 500,000 cheques annually.

The CPF Board has also assured that GovCash is as safe as cheques when it comes to receiving of payments.

Those eligible under this scheme can withdraw their payments from over 500 OCBC ATMs around the island.

To simply put it, GOVCash is designed to be user friendly.

Security features of GOVCash

Security measures include using facial recognition technology which will be able to verify the identities of users as well as a liveness detection capability.

The latter works in a way where it can sense if the user is trying to use photographs, videos or masks to skim through the identification process.

Saves time

Previously when it comes to receiving payouts from the government, Singaporeans will have to drop their cheques in the drop-off boxes or go over the counters to exchange them for cash.

Now with GOVCash, Singaporeans can just withdraw payouts via OCBC ATMs at any time of the day without needing to rush to the banks during their operating hours.

They can also use the scan and pay function or PayNow function to receive their payouts through the LifeSG mobile application.

SINGLE TEEN MUM WITH 5-MTH OLD BABY, FOUND OUT SHE’S PREGNANT AGAIN

A single teenage mother who has a 5 month old baby, just recently found out that she is pregnant again and wants to keep the baby.

Here is the story

Hi, just asking for advise.

I’m a single teen mom of 5mnth old baby and recently found out I’m pregnant again. Should I contact baby father to let him know I’m pregnant and see what he do?

Everyone’s telling me to abort but deep down I really want to keep this baby.

Sorry if I offended some of y’all, I know everything like I dream too big, I’m selfish, why never use protection all.

Netizens’ comments

  • Yes, you should tell the dad. Maybe you should speak to your parents and discuss about it too. Hugs.
  • Otherwise u can give birth & put up for adoption. Alot couples who wants kids but unable & oso better financial status than u wich is gd for the baby future
  • If is the same dad, do let him know. If he can’t responsible, ask urself are u ready to be 2 kids mum& dad. Is not easy BUT if you are willing, there way for sure. If he is not responsible, I hope that you will grown up after this. . Don’t fall for the same mistake
  • If you cant raise one properly dont bother raising another one. Many children out there suffered alot having to work part time at 14 bc of their irresponsible parents that keep producing when they got no income. Social worker doesnt give u much, just bare mini to survive.

MAN GROPED WOMAN BEFORE COLLEAGUE DEFILED HER, JAILED & CANED

MAN GROPED WOMAN BEFORE COLLEAGUE DEFILED HER, JAILED & CANED

32 year old Yong Chun Hong who previously worked as a bouncer was given eight months of imprisonment and two strokes of caning for his role in outraging the modesty of the 24 year old victim.

He previously joined a group of men who took advantage of her while she was drunk.

The 24 year old victim was then brought to a room in D’Resort at Downtown East where she was groped by them and recorded on film before they proceeded to defile her.

What happened

It all started at Club V5 at Ming Arcade along Cuscaden road where the victim was having drinks with her friends at about 3:35am on 17 Sep 2018.

The victim had consumed a lot of alcohol and was left at the club by her friends after they ‘settled’ some issues with another group at around 5:20am.

While left there alone, she continued to drink with Yong and his accomplice, 43 year old Yeo Wei Chieng and another 29 year old Tay Boon Huat.

Around 6am, Yong accompanied the victim to the ladies, before bringing her to the gents for about 15 minutes where they hid behind closed doors.

It was unclear if they did anything behind those doors.

Around 6:35am, the victim was brought down by Yong to the ground floor of Ming Arcade where she was handed over to a fellow bouncer and manager of V5, Yap Chun Chieh.

Yap was instructed by Yong to hire a cab and send the victim back home.

After V5 closed at 7am, Yong and his accomplices took a car wanting to return to their room at D’Resort and they spotted Yap and the victim still waiting for a taxi.

They persuaded Yap to join them and Yong pulled the drunk victim into the car by her arm.

Six of them including Yong, the victim and Yap were in the car which headed to the D’Resort.

The victim was not conscious throughout the journey and while on the journey, three different guys took the opportunity to grope her including Yong who squeezed her mammary glands.

While at the chalet, Yap defiled her while Tay did a explicit act on her and all these were caught on film by a third person, Gan Soon Chai.

Sentenced

Apart from Yong who was sentenced, Yap was earlier sentenced in 2021 March to imprisonment of 12 years and three months plus 10 strokes of caning.

Gan was imprisoned for one year and three months with a fine of $20,800 while Tay was given 10 years and three months plus 5 strokes of caning in 2020 August.

GUY’S DATES ALWAYS GIVE HIM FALSE HOPE, DISAPPEAR AFTER FIRST DATE

GUY’S DATES ALWAYS GIVE HIM FALSE HOPE, DISAPPEAR AFTER FIRST DATE

A guy shared how he has been on dating apps and going out with girls but they always give him false hope and stop replying him after the date.

Here is the story

Just a bit of a rant, but I would also like to hear your thoughts on this. I’ve been on dating apps and met some girls for dates.

The thing which I’ve noticed happen is that some girls would agree for a subsequent date (after one or few dates), only to not get back to me (when they said they’ll check which days they’re free and get back to me etc.) when they said they would.

Wouldn’t it make more sense for the girl to just say that they don’t see it going further, and let the guy know that they would not want to meet again?

It is quite disrespectful, and gives false hopes (especially when they reply with much positive energy when agreeing to meet again).

I see them not getting back to me as a sign that they’re clearly not interested so I wouldn’t want to send follow-up messages asking if they know when they’re free already etc.

But I would had much rather they be more respectful and not do things like this.

Not all girls are like that of course. I’ve had some girls who let me know when they didn’t want to meet again, and I really appreciate that.

MAN WITH 2 KIDS CHEATS ON WIFE & FINDS IT “HARD” TO LEAVE MISTRESS

MAN WITH 2 KIDS CHEATS ON WIFE & FINDS IT “HARD” TO LEAVE MISTRESS

A man was cheating on his wife, who found out about it and now he is finding it hard to leave his mistress.

Here is the story

I’m in my early 40s and have 2 young toddler kids. Flame of romance died out when kids came into the picture, had an affair and wife found out etc.

Now we are apart and living separately while trying to figure out what we want.

For her she isn’t keen to give another chance out of fear that this will repeat (this is not the first time).

While everyone is asking me to do the right thing for children, I’m having trouble letting go of the affair.

Almost every thought I have, activity reminds me of what I had with the other party. And it feels like I could be vulnerable and honest with the other party while with the wife I always couldn’t and always keep secrets from – for fear of being judged or seen to be disgusting or perverse.

Wondering if there are people here who have divorced and have children and whether it’s as bad as it sounds in terms of children’s growth.

Bcos the other party seems to be my “Twin Ray”.

GIRL’S BF WOULD RATHER PLAY MAPLESTORY THAN GO OUT WITH HER

GIRL’S BF WOULD RATHER PLAY MAPLESTORY THAN GO OUT WITH HER

A netizen shared how she recently got engaged to her boyfriend, but he spends more time on the online game Maplestory than with her on dates, claiming that he can “earn money” from the game.

Here is the story

Recently got engaged to my boyfriend and although I love him a lot, theres 1 thing which I can’t stand about him because usually after work he is always very busy playing an online MMORPG called MapleStory,

He is always at home and only takes me out on dates usually between once or twice a week, and one day we had an argument because I called him selfish for always playing his games,

He told me that he earns between 1k-2k a month extra from playing maplestory, hence that is why is he always so busy with his so-called ‘extra’ work.

So I am unsure whether he is lying to me or telling the truth.

Assuming he is telling the truth, should I break up with him? Because I feel that he is not giving me enough of his personal time, however if he is lying to me i will definitely break up with him.

Looking for any relationship advice on how to fix such problems, thank you!

MAN CANCELS FRIEND’S FLIGHT AFTER FRIEND BECAME NUISANCE AT AIRPORT

MAN CANCELS FRIEND’S FLIGHT AFTER FRIEND BECAME NUISANCE AT AIRPORT

Hello all. So I pour Diet Coke in the sky for a living and it comes with pretty cool perks, such as free air travel. A cool part is that I can sometimes bring friends with me. There is a caveat that you have to be professional when you travel and can risk losing your job.

With that being said, I recently went on a trip with a good friend of mine. When we were leaving to head home, we had two flights to take. Upon landing, we had to clear customs and pick up our bags and recheck them. When we get to the recheck spot, we got informed that our bags were lost. My friend proceeds to go nuts. Like absolutely lose it, which is not okay. My friend knew about the fact that they had to show decorum because I could quite literally lose my job for it but they continued to go be beserk.

I asked them to calm down and they didn’t and instead, they lashed out at me. So, I went to the agent, told them to get security and had them cancel their flight on my benefits. Why did I have them call security? Because you’re causing a scene at an airport and a security officer is better than the police. Anyway, I left them to their tantrum and went on my merry way.

Obviously weren’t not friends anymore. So and so is also attempting to take me to small claims to refund them their alternative travel expenses. I’ve received mixed responses from our mutual friend group.

So what do you think guys?

Here are what netizens think:

All of these fools acting out at airports should get their flights cancelled. Full-on timeouts until they remember how to behave like civilized adults.

So sometimes when you fly somewhere you need to do it in two or more steps. You fly to one airport to catch a flight to another airport. In some cases the time you have to catch the next flight is not enough for the ground crew to take the luggage out, separate and sort it and get it on the next plane. In this case your suitcase is considered “lost”.
