MAN FALSELY DECLARED TO MOM IN WORK PERMIT OF MAID, JAILED

0

34 year old Hafizuddin Jaafar was sentenced to six weeks of imprisonment today (11 Feb) for falsely declaring to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in the application for a work permit of a foreign domestic worker.

He had stated in the application of his intention to hire the 36 year old foreign domestic worker, a Filipino to be employed at his home.

However, this was not to be the case as none of them had the intention to stick to this arrangement and they had planned for the domestic worker to find other forms of employment in Singapore.

Application made on Jan 2018

MOM said that the initial application made by Hafizuddin was on January 2018 and he later applied to renew the permit again in Jan 2019.

The domestic worker also paid Hafizuddin $9,380 during the period between January 2018 and February 2020 for the successful application and renewal of her work permit.

She did not live with him or work for him during the same period of time.

She has since been sent back to her country and barred from working in Singapore permanently after being given a stern warning for her false declaration in her permit application.

Fined for his offences apart from imprisonment

Other than being slapped with six weeks of imprisonment, Hafizuddin was also fined a total of $50,750 for receiving money from the domestic worker to aid in her application and also to keep it up to date.

He could have been jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to $20,000 for falsely declaring work pass applications.

Employers will also have their work pass privileges suspended and the applicant will also be permanently banned from working in Singapore.

For receiving money for aiding applications, he could have been imprisoned for up to two years and/or fined up to $30,000.

TAXI DRIVER BREAKS COLLARBONE OF FELLOW DRIVER IN ROAD RAGE

0

53 year old Lee Chee Kiong was handed a fine of $4,000 today (11 Feb) for his role in breaking a fellow driver’s collarbone after he had struck the other driver who was older than him.

This was during their spat over a dispute while on the roads.

Lee pleaded guilty in court to disturbing public peace with fellow driver Lim Cher Boo but that charge was amended in the end to voluntarily causing hurt that turned out to be grievous hurt.

There was another charge that was taken into consideration during Lee’s sentencing as he had committed mischief by hitting the right wing mirror of Lim’s taxi.

68 year old Lim was also slapped with a fine of $1,200 for his part in the spat.

Lim had drove off after exchange of words

It was mentioned in court that Lim had actually drove off after the traffic dispute which occurred between the both of them.

They had not known each other before the dispute on 20 Jan.

While driving along Jurong West Street 93, Lim and Lee had got into a dispute and they had stopped their vehicles beside each other at a nearby signalised junction.

After a conversation exchange, Lim drove off but was pursued by Lee.

When Lim noticed Lee following and stopped his vehicle along Yunnan Drive 2, Lee followed suit and approached Lim hitting his right wing mirror first.

An argument ensued when Lim got out of the vehicle and it resulted in a fight when Lim walked up to Lee angrily and pushed him.

Lee fought back by pushing Lim to the floor and when Lim tried to get back on his feet by lunging towards Lee, Lee smacked him on his face causing him to fall again.

The whole incident was caught on camera by Lee’s dashcam.

Lim reported incident to Police

After the fight, Lim called the Police and was subsequently taken to Ng Teng Fong Hospital (NTFH) where he was diagnosed by the doctor to have suffered from a collarbone fracture, abrasions over his elbow and knee, and a minor head injury.

He was given 14 days of hospitalisation leave and discharged from the hospital.

Lee compensated Lim eventually

A fine of $4,000 to $5,000 was asked for by the prosecutor to be given to Lee due to the harm he had caused to Lim.

Lee’s defense mitigated that Lee had tried to play down the issue a few times and did not intended for the matter to escalate to a fight.

He had also compensated Lim for fees incurred for his medical expenses.

SNAKE SPOTTED ON AIRASIA FLIGHT FROM KL TO SABAH

0

A snake was spotted in an overhead compartment on board an AirAsia flight from Kuala Lumpur (KL) to Tawau, Sabah on Thursday (10 Feb) which caused the flight to be diverted to Kuching, Sarawak.

The flight’s captain made the decision to divert the aircraft after the incident was made known to the captain.

Diversion was done to fumigate plane

According to CNA, who spoke to AirAsia to confirm if there was really a snake found in the plane, AirAsia said that the plane was diverted as the company wanted to take precautions by doing fumigation of the plane.

Chief safety officer of AirAsia said that this is an isolated incident which rarely occurs and it can happen to any aircraft at anytime.

He also commended the captain for taking the correct measures and said that the crew and guests wellbeing are always the top priority for AirAsia.

He ended off my saying that at no point of time during the incident were any of the crew or passengers safety compromised.

The plane subsequently departed for Tawau, Sabah, from Kuching later on Thursday.

Footage of the snake appearing inside the overhead compartment were also seen circulating around on social media platforms like Tiktok.

3 PERSONS CHARGED FOR UNLICENSED PAYMENT SERVICE, $2.4 MILLION

3 individuals were charged in court yesterday (Feb 10) for their suspected involvement in providing unlicensed cross-border inward money transfer payment services. The three suspects are a man and two women, aged between 34 and 52 years old

Investigations revealed that from January to March 2021, the trio had allegedly provided cross-border inward money transfer payment services involving cash amounting to more than S$2,440,000 from abroad.

The trio did did not possess any licence issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to provide payment services.

All three persons will be charged with two counts under Section 5(3)(a) of the Payment Services Act 2019 each.

If convicted, the accused persons can be fined up to $125,000, or jailed for up to three years, or both.

The Police would like to advise members of the public to engage banks or licensed cross-border money transfer agents instead of unlicensed payment service entities to avoid the risks of losing their money. The Police will not hesitate to take action against any individuals or entities involved in conducting unlicensed cross-border money transfer services, as they pose the risk of being conduits for money laundering and terrorist financing.

11 Feb 2022 Dear boss,

Please accept this letter as a formal notification that I am leaving my position with effect from today.

Thank you for the opportunities that you have provided me during my time with the company.

If not for Singapore Pools, I believe I would continue to stay in the company until I retire. Fortunately or unfortunately, I won slightly more than $16million today. I was shocked that my career life with the company has to end like this.

Let’s meet for kopi sometimes, but make it soon, because when travelling restrictions are lifted, I will be doing quite abit of travelling around the world. Anyway, please continue to work hard, do not be like me, taking any opportunity during work to queue up at Singapore Pools betting booth, as a result, I never made it to be a manager. You are not going to be as lucky as me.

Your’s Sincerely
