PARLIAMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS PRITAM SINGH TO BE PROBED FURTHER

Following a series of hearings that were held last December, the parliamentary committee has recommended that Pritam Singh, the Leader of the Opposition, to be referred to the Public Prosecutor for further investigations, according to a report released earlier today (10 February).

They have also recommended that former Workers’ Party (WP) MP Raeesah Khan be fined a total of $35,000 for telling lies in Parliament.

The Parliament’s Committee of Privileges said in their report that Mr Singh’s referral was to investigate if criminal proceedings can be instituted in relation to his conduct before the panel.

The Committee was chaired by Parliament Speaker Tan Chuan Jin, along with six PAP members and the WP’s Dennis Tan.

They have recommended that Raeesah Khan be fined $25,000 for the lie that she told in parliament on 3 August about accompanying an assault victim to a police station, alleging that the police made the victim cry with their handling of the matter.

They also recommended another fine of $10,000 for her repeating the lie on 4 October.

The committee also recommended that Faisal Manap, the vice-chair of the WP, to be referred to the Public Prosecutor for further investigations as well, for his refusal to answer questions that were deemed “relevant” and to see if they can institute criminal proceedings.

Pritam Singh responds

Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh has since released a statement on the COP report on his Facebook, saying:

“I have looked at the COP report and its recommendation to refer Faisal Manap and I for prosecution. I will speak more extensively on the COP report in Parliament when it is tabled for debate, expected to be sometime next week.

Assuming Parliament adopts the Committee’s recommendations, there remain a number of unknowns. These include the eventual decision of the Public Prosecutor to prosecute, the intervening time before the matter goes to trial, the eventual verdict and any sentence meted out, and the prospect of both Faisal and I losing our parliamentary seats and stepping down as Members of Parliament if either of us is fined $2000 or more.

Until there is some resolution to these matters which may take some time yet, Faisal and I will continue our work – including but not limited to MPS, estate walks, house visits and other parliamentary commitments – as per normal. The same goes for Team The Workers’ Party and its activities, including our outreach efforts in previously contested constituencies.

As always, Sylvia, Faisal and I are grateful to the public for their support of the Workers’ Party, and all three of us, like our party colleagues will continue to serve to the best of our abilities. Finally, we thank the public for your encouragement and support towards the efforts of The Workers’ Party in building a more democratic Singapore, one that all Singaporeans can be proud of. That work will continue.”

CAR RAMS INTO SINGPOST MAILBOX ALONG HOUGANG AVE 10

CAR RAMS INTO SINGPOST MAILBOX ALONG HOUGANG AVE 10

Photos of a minor accident has emerged on social media today and it is regarding an incident where a car had rammed into a Singpost mailbox along Hougang Avenue 10 yesterday on 9 February 2022.

A closer look at the pictures showed a Singpost mailbox lying on the grass patch after the motor vehicle had allegedly rammed into it.

A bicycle was also seen trapped under the car who had already mounted and went up the kerb and on the grass patch beside a sheltered walkway.

Another motor vehicle, a Traffic Police motorbike and some onlookers were also seen at the scene of the accident.

It was not known as to what caused the driver of the vehicle to mount up the kerb but the road however seemed to be wet and slippery after the rain yesterday and we are guessing that the driver had probably skidded on the road and then ended up on the grass patch, knocking the Singpost mailbox down in the process.

We are reaching out to relevant authorities for more information on the incident yesterday.

Netizens’ comments

Netizens in the comment section have commented on the happenings with some of the comments seemingly showing that they have witnessed the whole incident.

Here are what some of the netizens have to say about the incident:

  • The mailbox absorbed the force before the shelter collapse…
  • It’s so dangerous. He could have knocked innocent pedestrians using the covered walkways if not for the post box. Suspension and fine warranted
  • There was another car that exited the car park and knocked into the car which spun the car. The mailbox halted more spins which could have resulted into a more serious or if not fatal accident.
  • Why is this caption so negative? Why not “Singpost mailbox sacrificed life to protect pedestrian against errant car” 🤣🤣
  • What this post didn’t reveal is there was a car that came out of the carpark and stopped half way between the 2 sides of the road. It is more likely that the car that exited the car park dashed out and this car jammed brake causing it to skid and knocked onto the the post box. I was driving into my car park just after this happened. And I saw a woman sitting in the car that exited the car park. She should be leaving the car than sitting in such a dangerous position.

‘IN BETWEEN’ SHIFU TEACHES HOW TO INCREASE WINNING ODDS

‘IN BETWEEN’ SHIFU TEACHES HOW TO INCREASE WINNING ODDS

A video has recently emerged on Tiktok uploaded by a Tiktoker who is trying to impart his skills of the In-Between card game that is played by millions, usually with a bit of wagers involved.

The Tiktoker shares some of his tips on what is the right move a player should go when faced with certain cards and he also calculates the odds and probabilities of getting a successful ‘in between’ in these scenarios.

He first comes out with a scenario where the player draws an ACE and a SEVEN and says that most people will think that getting these two cards leaves the player with quite a good chance to gain an ‘in between’.

However, he explains and shows that the chances of getting an ‘in between’ in this scenario as you only can draw 5 numbers to gain an ‘in between’ but have 10 numbers not to qualify because drawing an ACE or SEVEN will mean that you lose twice the amount.

With the odds of winning at five and the odds of losing at 10, it is no wonder why he says that the odds of securing an ‘in between’ are very very bad.

He then claims that having at least eight numbers between the two drawn cards is the least that you should have before you wage a bet as the chances of winning are much higher than losing with as the odds are 8 numbers for a win compared to 7 numbers for losing.

To make it simple to remember, he says that the player just have to remember the combinations ‘ACE-TEN, TWO-JACK, THREE-QUEEN, FOUR-KING’ to maximise chances of securing a win and anything else that has lesser than 8 numbers in between the two drawn cards, the player should skip his turn and not call.

Netizens’ comments

Netizens in the comments section however, beg to differ from the guy’s explanations.

Here are some of the comments seen in the comments section:

  • k** i 2 and king also can get ace
  • Instructions not clear I lost everything including my clothing
  • I don’t think that’s how probability works… but ok
  • i all in 2 and Q, kena double on Q
  • Scared don’t play la. 5 & 7 can play already. Just a matter of dare or not
  • i just count the number of pictures/10 and ace that come out already so when a 2-4 and picture come out i can count the probability
  • my probability of having a Ace and King tiang is 100% 😭

WOMAN GOT BILL SHOCKED FOR CNY DINNER BILL OF $800 AT BUONA VISTA

WOMAN GOT BILL SHOCKED FOR CNY DINNER BILL OF $800 AT BUONA VISTA

Imagine going out for a nice meal with friends or family only to get a bill shock and charged almost $400 for a fish and the bill total was almost $800.

A woman shared her experience dining at a restaurant located in North Buona Vista, 1 plate of fish alone cause $396 and with the tax it is going to be over $400 just for a fish.

The service charge for the meal is enough to eat a good chilli crab at other places.

The amount on the receipt…

Some say rip off while others blame the customer

  • The responsibility is on the customer to ask because the restaurant is in a difficult position. If they ask you whether you are ok with this price, some customers may get insulted and ask them whether they think they can’t pay. It’s a no-win situation for restaurants.
  • Actually everyone so focused on the fish. Only a few realised the spinach is $42. If i go into this restaurant and saw the spinach at $42. I stand up and leave immediately
  • I went Peach Garden at Clarke Quay before. Super bad experience! Boycott ever since. We should really share our bad experiences so that no one else should suffer. And thanks for sharing. And guys… I honestly feel if you can’t appreciate the victim’s kindness to warn you, just don’t comment anything. If every victim gets shamed, no one else will share and more ppl will have bad experiences in many areas/places. And it could be you. Do put yourself in their shoes.
  • If you have a budget, don’t order fish. Or ask directly the price before ordering. Don’t need paiseh one. Tell them you only willing to spend a certain amount and ask them recommend. Sadly, you walked into an Crystal Jade Grand Palace standard restaurant wanting to pay like eating at Crystal Jade Kitchen price? You can only blame yourself.

SPIRIT PRETENDED TO BE WOMAN’S SON, REAL SON ARRIVES 30 MINS LATER

A netizen shared how he heard someone calling his name one night when he was working late, and then later when he got home, his mother was surprised to see him.

Turns out that his doppelganger was at his home earlier and told his mother that he won’t be coming home that night.

Here is the story

I was working by myself in the office on Saturday. Was closing up the place when I heard someone calling my name in Chinese.

It was kinda weird as I go by my English name in the workplace and there’s no one else in the office.

Got spooked and cycled home as fast as I could. Then when I got home, my mother asked me “eh how come you are back again? I thought u said you’re not coming home today?”

Turns out “I” appeared at the door 20-30 mins earlier and told my mother “I won’t be coming home” before walking away.

Btw, I work in a wood workshop environment so injuries/seeing blood is not uncommon.

P.S true story bros.

Doppelgangers

Doppelgangers are essentially an apparition of a living person, an exact lookalike of a person and they are usually portrayed by a spiritual entity and are seen as a bringer of bad luck.

The folklore and myths surrounding doppelgangers are creepy, to say the least. Legend has it that doppelgangers are considered bad omens and that if you happen to see a doppelganger of your friend, it symbolizes impending bad luck and/or illnesses.

And if you happen to see your own doppelganger, it is an omen of death.

Netizens’ comments

  • Could be glitch in the matrix
  • OMG.. That final part……..
  • Wah cheebs that last sentence

SG LAUNCHING SATELLITE INTO SPACE ORBITS AT 250KM FROM EARTH

SG LAUNCHING SATELLITE INTO SPACE ORBITS AT 250KM FROM EARTH

A space project led by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) was announced by Minister for Trade and Industry Mr Gan Kim Yong at the Global Space and Technology Convention.

The satellite will be launched into space in 2025, the satellite will orbit 250km over earth for at least 1 year. Typical satellites orbit at a distance of around 500km from earth.

The satellite is known as a Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) and it will be the size of a refrigerator weighing around 100kg.

The satellite will be equipped with a camera designed by a local tech firm, LightHau Photonics.

Next Generation Development

The Satellite will be run by an engine built by Aliena (A local company from NTU). The engine is designed to generate thrust at low power to maintain the course of the satellite’s orbit.

The satellite will orbit the earth for a year before descending to earth’s atmosphere, it is designed to burn out during its course of reentry leaving no space trash behind.

Professor Lam Khin Yong from NTU said the satellite is a milestone for the country and the university.

“Satellite technologies are always multidisciplinary and complex, requiring the best minds in various fields, from power systems engineering to aerodynamics and software design, to work together as a team to develop new solutions that do not exist today. NTU is also proud to partner our own spin-off company Aliena and joint venture company ST Engineering Satellite Systems, both great examples of how NTU’s space technologies have successfully made it from lab to market, contributing to the nation’s rising reputation in the global space industry,”Professor Lam said.

GIRL MAKES ‘AH GOU GO ARMY’, PARODY OF AH GIRLS GO ARMY

GIRL MAKES ‘AH GOU GO ARMY’, PARODY OF AH GIRLS GO ARMY

A video has recently emerged on Tiktok posted by a Tiktoker who has decided to create a parody of the Ah Girls Go Army movie by Director Jack Neo.

In the parody video which the Tiktoker has titled, ‘Ah Gou Go Army’ which translates to ‘ah dog goes to army’, the Tiktoker first starts with a same scene as the original series, playing a ‘politician’ speaking in parliament about the declining birth rate situation in Singapore which leaves the state with no choice but to enlist dogs into the army.

The Tiktoker said:

‘Because there is a lack of BTO and hence there are lack of people which are willing to procreate, we will now have to enlist not just girls but also dogs.’

The video then cuts to the Tiktoker exclaiming to her pet dog that it now has to enlist into the army dramatically with the dog ‘exclaiming’ that it is so unlucky that it has to go to the armuy.

Fast forward a little bit more and we come to a scene where the ‘dog recruits’ are now forming up for a live grenade throwing exercise.

The Tiktoker who is now playing as a ‘commander’ now takes out the dog’s stuffed toy as the ‘grenade’ and warns them not to run after the ‘grenade’ saying that they are not playing ‘FETCH’ today.

The ‘dog recruits’ then echoed out the instructions of the ‘commander’.

After the ‘dog recruits’ are ready, the Tiktoker then throws the stuffed toy to which the dog runs after it and the Tiktoker exclaims out to the dog ‘No recruit we already say don’t go after the grenade!!’

The scene then ends with the Tiktoker going near the dog and shouting ‘NO RECRUIT NO’, before the ‘grenade’ explodes.

After the explosion scene, a parody song of the AH GIRLS GO ARMY movie is also sung in the sound of the ‘dog’ and that is the end of the parody.

MAN HAUNTED BY GHOST, KEEPS FINDING HANDPRINTS IN HIS TOILET

MAN HAUNTED BY GHOST, KEEPS FINDING HANDPRINTS IN HIS TOILET

A netizen shared how he has been haunted by a ghost and finding handprints in his toilet after acknowledging the ghosts.

Here is the story:

You know when you take a shower, and the mirror is all steamed up. And the shower glass door is all steamed up when it’s hot.

So, I felt like somebody watching me while I was showering, and when I got out of the shower, there was a handprint on the mirror and a handprint in the steam on the door.

And I put my hand up against it and it was like way bigger than my hand, it was like not a normal-sized hand.

So that was scary, to say the least.

So I didn’t learn my lesson from the first time where I kept picking up rubber bands and acknowledging the ghost.

So the ghost kept messing with me, you would think that I would learn but I didn’t.

So I kept wiping the handprints away, every day there’d be a new handprint. So after like 3 days of me just leaving the handprint on the door, I didn’t mess with it.

And I get out of the shower one day and there are two handprints, I was like that’s it, I’m done with this ghost nonsense.

Editor’s note: I would’ve noped out of there in an instant.

18 Y.O POSTED TEACHER’S UPSKIRT PHOTOS ONLINE, GETS 18 MONTHS PROBATION

An 18-year-old boy was sentenced to 18 months of probation on 8 February for uploading screenshots of his teacher onto Tumblr, social media site.

He pleaded guilty to one charge of transmitting obscene images, with another 2 more similar charges considered during his sentencing.

He had apparently chanced upon upskirt videos of her and shared screenshots of the videos online, captioning it: “upskirt pictures, can all of you guys reblog, like and share this… enjoy the pictures”

The teenager and the secondary school that he attended cannot be named because he was under 18-years-old when the crimes were committed.

His mother has been bonded for $5,000 to ensure his good behaviour and he must remain indoors from 10pm to 6am, as well as perform 80 hours of community service.

What happened?

Between April 2019 and May 2019, the youth had discovered at least 2 upskirt videos of his teacher and took a screenshot of the videos from his schoolmates.

He then edited the photos and created several variations of the pictures, changing the colour and orientation of the photos and uploaded them onto Tumblr, along with photos of her at the school and with her family.

The teacher then made a police report on 21 May 2019.
