However, in the eyes of the law doing so could get them into a lot more trouble.

Penalties:

Providing bank accounts to facilitate illegal moneylending is equal to assisting in the operation of running an unlicensed money lending business.

  • First-time offenders found guilty of carrying on or assisting in a business of unlicensed moneylending shall be punished with imprisonment term of up to four years, a fine of between $30,000 and $300,000, and caning of up to six strokes; and
  • First-time offenders found guilty of committing or attempting to commit any acts of harassment on behalf of an unlicensed moneylender shall be punished with imprisonment term of up to five years, a fine of between $5,000 and $50,000, and caning of between three and six strokes.

GUY SAYS DECEASED ON TOMBSTONE “CHIO SIA”, GHOST FOLLOW HIM HOME

0

A netizen shared a story about how he was at Choa Chu Kang cemetery with his family visiting the grave of an ancestor when he made some rude comments about a stranger’s tombstone.

Things then took a turn for the worse after that.

Here is the story:

“I was with my family at Choa Chu Kang cemetery visiting one of the graves of our ancestor for Qing Ming festival a few years ago.

We were cleaning the grave and sweeping the leaves and dirt off the tombstone.

After that, me and my brother wandered off and we went to look at the other graves around us.

We came across this grave of a woman whose photo was black and white, and very old.

I muttered out loud to my brother: “Wah bro, see this chiobu, she damn chio sia!”

My brother smacked my head and told me not to talk rubbish.

That was that and soon we went home.

The weeks that followed were very strange to say the least.

I had a recurring dream of a woman standing by my bedside groaning at me.

In the dream I couldn’t make out her face as she was always looking away or down at the floor.

I would always wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.

And then things escalated, I started seeing figures in my kitchen when i wake up to use to the toilet.

I would see a figure from the corner of my eye and when i turn to look at it, there would be nothing there.

I also kept feeling something or someone touching my leg when im sleeping.

Eventually i told my mother about it and she brought me to the temple to see a master.

The master told me that the spirit that was following me was from the cemetery and she thought I was interested in her, so she followed me home.

The master gave me a talisman and told me to burn some offerings and apologise.

My mother then brought me to the cemetery and we did as we were told, I said sorry for talking rubbish and my mother asked the spirit to leave me alone because I didn’t know what I was doing.

Eventually the “haunting” stopped and I never saw the spirit again.”

JOBLESS FATHER STEALS SON’S ALLOWANCE TO BUY CIG

0

A woman shared her story online after discovering that her husband has been stealing money from her 10-year-old son.

Here is the story:

My son (10) recently started receiving an allowance from me since his dad is unemployed and also because my son likes to have his own money to spend on stuff he wants.

The problem is that I discovered by accident that my husband has been taking the money from our son to buy his own stuff like cigarettes or a drink. He’d approach our son whenever he has money and tell him he’ll buy him what he wants but ends up spending the money on something else, something for him, not our son. Our son obviously can not drive by himself and buy his own stuff so my husband offers to buy stuff for him using of course his allowance. I’m a nurse working long shifts most of the time so I’m not always home

Every time our son wants something my husband would be like:

“Hey boy, you want a few bags of Doritos?. I’ll go to the supermarket and get them for you then. That would be $$$”

then our son gives him the money but never receives his Doritos. Rinse and repeat. This went on for 2 months till my son told me.

Turns out my husband asked not to tell mommy because she’d get mad at him and he’ll be in trouble and promised to get him his stuff but he never does.

Fight

I had a big fight with my husband about it. He said it wasn’t big deal since he always end up getting our son the stuff he want 99% of the time. He told me to consider this as “petrol money” since he travels to the supermarket to buy what our son wants.

I shamed him for taking advantage of our son and taking the money that was meant for him and said he was acting like a thief but worse when stealing from his own son.

I then said I won’t be handing our son any allowance anymore and my husband said I was overreacting and punishing our son for no reason. I said I’ll handle our son’s needs from now on but he argued that I can’t when I’m busy working all the time. I said it was none of his business and walked out of the room. He kept negging me saying my son will resent me if I stop handing him money but I refused to engage any further in the argument and the guilt-tripping.

He keeps calling me heartless and financially controlling to take away the allowance.

MAN VISIT PROSTITUTE AT GEYLANG, BUMP INTO AH LONG THAT HE OWES MONEY

0

A netizen shared a story about how he owes Ah Long money and was on the run from the loanshark when he bumped into the loanshark that he owed money to.

Here is the story:

“Suay until laosai ah, really.

I borrowed about $10k from an Ah Long and had no money to return, so I was hiding from them.

I was heavily in debt at the time and out of desperation, I went to borrow money from them.

They are really bloodsuckers, the interest rates were sky high and it ballooned until the interest became more than the initial loan.

I had no way of returning the money so I hid from them.

Then one day I was at Geylang visiting some “chickens” at a house.

I was very excited and wanted to destress, but as soon as I walked in, I saw a familiar face.

There he was, the ah long that I owe money to.

He shouted at me and I immediately bolted out and ran for my life, and he was hot on my heels chasing after me.

I ran across traffic and through shophouses and purposely ran through crowded places and eventually I got rid of him.

Suay right?”

0

A girl shared her horrific experience with her boyfriend and said that it is the most “worse experience in her life”.

Here is the story:

Before you guys say bad things about me, I want to be clear that both my boyfriend and I are in healthy mental condition. Maybe just me, not my boyfriend.

This happened a couple of nights ago, he said he wanted to try something new in bed and went to the kitchen and took a bottle of Thai fish sauce.

I asked him what is he trying to do, he then poured some of the fish sauce onto a few pieces of tissue and rub it over his “sausage”. I was shocked, he then ask me to taste it.

“NO WAY I’M DOING IT!”

He then sat on me and I could not escape, I tried to push him away and he pinched my nose till I can’t breathe.

I had no choice but to breathe from my mouth and he took the opportunity to stuff it in my mouth before releasing his pinch on my nose.

It was so disgusting as I not only taste him but also taste the pungent fish sauce.

I started to gag and I almost vomited. He laugh and asked me “if it’s fresh”

OMG, I don’t know what to do. Should I just break with him or accept who he is.

24 Y.O LEAVES GIRLFRIEND FOR 41 Y.O ‘TAI TAI’

0

A story was shared on a forum after a girl posted her unhappiness after finding the reason for her relationship’s downfall.

Here is the story:

I am 23 y.o this year, I work as an admin in a local office and I draw about 2.3k after CPF. It’s not a lot of money but the reason I state my salary is important.

My boyfriend recently broke up with me after he said that “our relationship is not working”, he gave me various reasons that left me in heartbreak such as “I’m immature, I can’t cook” and many more.

A month went by and I heard from my friends that my ex-boyfriend has gotten together with an older woman. I was curious and asked my friends about it, they told me that the woman is 41-years-old! That is 17 years older than my ex-boyfriend and 18-years-old more than me.

The reason

After I CSI the woman’s online profile for a long time I finally found information on her, she don’t have an Instagram or Facebook account.

But she has a Linkedin account, she seems to be working some kind of job in a Bank and draws much more than me.

I stalk my ex’s Instagram and found out that he has been posting a lot of new branded clothes and even a car on his Instagram. When he was with me he was making slightly lesser money than me. It is not possible to even afford an Addidas T-shirt and now he has Givenchy and so much more branded stuff.

Obviously, his sudden showing of wealth on his social media attracted some attention. One of his close friends posted a comment on his Instagram photo “Good hor have a rich girlfriend”.

Confrontation

I confronted him and he told me that he don’t love the woman and the only reason he is being with her is money.

She said that she wanted to be together with me and take the woman’s money wealth at the same time. But it was not fair for me so he broke up with me.

He said that he has plans to patch things up with me once he has secured a good amount of money.

I was so pissed off and said

“hello?! You sold our relationship for money. That shows your priorities”.

I blocked him after that and we never got in contact anymore, last I heard he went from that older lady to another even older and richer one.
