KK HOSPITAL SCREENING STAFF ALLEGEDLY SENDS KID WITH 40 DEGREE FEVER TO WRONG AREA

A mother shared an unfortunate experience at KK woman’s and children’s hospital. Her child had a 40 degree and was sent by the screening staff to the “covid area” instead of the emergency room despite telling the staff that both of them were tested negative for COVID.

The woman waited for almost an hour and it turns out she was sent to the wrong area after a nurse told her that the area is for COVID patients.

Here is a rough translation of the woman’s Facebook post:

This is what happened. My son i around 4 years old. He had a fever on the first day of CNY and I took him to kkh at about 9 o’clock in the evening on the second day of the first day of the new year.

Then a young woman came to the door of the emergency department and asked us about our details.

Q: Have you gone abroad recently?
Answer: No
question: Someone at home is quarantined?
A: No.

I directly said that my family has experienced it. Before this, I was worried that my English was not good. She is Chinese. Can we speak Chinese? 

Then she asked us to go to the opposite side to line up. The opposite was the parking lot and took it out to treat the virus infection point. My child and I were arranged to go to the virus infection point without knowing it.

We sat there and waited for almost an hour, and finally, it was our turn. The nurse inside was asking again to confirm, and asked if they had checked 2 lines at home, right? 

I was frightened, I said that the test was at home and was negative, and the nurse was shocked and asked what are you doing here? I said that the long-haired woman at the door told us to come here, and then the nurse took me out.

The woman didn’t apologize at all and said something, “oh, then you line up again, I’ll give you a number, You go to line up inside”, because the child’s fever is 39.6 degrees at home, and after an hour delay in the hospital, it is 40.3 degrees,

I have been worried about the child, and the child is not old enough to be vaccinated. Now it has been two days since the child is well (stomach inflammation). The more I think about it, the angrier i get, I both me and my son won’t get infected, attach the photo of this woman she has been playing with her mobile phone while working, don’t harm others if you don’t want to work properly.

事情是这样的我儿子4岁多初一发烧初二晚上快9点带去kkh然后一到紧急部门门口就有个年轻女子过来问我们质料问:最近有出国吗答:没有问:家里有人隔离吗?答:没有我直接说家里已经验了没有中这之前我担心自己英文不好看她是华人直接说我们可以说华语吗?然后一切都问了叫我们去对面排队,对面是停车场拿出来治疗病毒感染点,我和孩子就这样不知情的情况被安排去病毒感染点在里面坐着等了快一个小时,终于到我们了里面的护士又在从新问一遍确认,问到在家里验了2条线对吗?我吓到我说家里验了没中好好的普通的,然后护士吓到说这里都是中的你们没有中来这里做什么,我说门口那个长头发的叫我们来这里,后来护士带我出去那个女的也没有道歉还是什么就说了一句,哦那你从新排队我给你号码你去里面排队,因为孩子发烧在家是39.6度在医院又在耽误了一个小时后40.3度,老母亲的心可以说是崩溃了,我就想说我保护了2年一直担心孩子中,孩子不够年龄还不可以打疫苗,现在事情已经过去两天了孩子也好了(胃发炎)我是越想越气,希望我们母子俩不会中,附上这女的照片工作的时候一直在玩手机,心都在手机上了还能出来做这份工吗?不要出来害人好吗?

RICH SPOILED GIRL CHEATS ON BF BECAUSE EXPAT GUY GAVE HER GIFTS

0

My boyfriend was from NUS and cannot provide for me. I know I’m gonna get a lot of hate for this, but I need to rant and lament. Whenever I see my sister’s rich expat boyfriend showering her with expensive gifts I get very jealous and envious. I feel I deserve more. I feel I can do better than my boyfriend. I can’t help these feelings and I am overcome with anxiety thinking and overthinking it.

I come from an upper-middle-class family and we stay in landed property. My boyfriend is an average Singaporean boy staying in public housing. I don’t mind having a BTO as a starter home too. I have nothing against dating someone like him, but after 4 years together, I am tired. I want to be with someone who can provide for me all that I want. Someone witty, charming and romantic too.

My boyfriend has been unemployed ever since he graduated, and it’s been almost 2 years. He keeps on blaming covid for his unemployment. He also blames Singapore’s immigration policies for not getting a job.

So for the time being he’s doing grab food deliveries. I don’t think it’s a bad thing per se, but I think I feel I don’t want to be seen with him in his uniform. I started to feel resentment toward him.

Recently I’ve started using dating apps and been meeting new guys. I have to say, from my dates, Singaporean guys lack imagination and romance. They almost always say the same things, topics are simplistic and discussions are, not to be rude, a little childish.

There are Singaporean guys who tick all my boxes though, and I do go out with them for second and third dates too. It’s been really fun meeting new people and getting a different feel of romance.

But without commitment from me, because I’m still with my boyfriend, I am not rewarded the way a girlfriend should. Sometimes after spending the night with my dates, I feel empty. I feel I’m missing out.

I am happy my boyfriend still gives me that attention albeit it’s not perfect, it kind of fills the void from my empty dates.

So recently I met an expat guy, he’s a little older than what I would call within my age range. I told him about how I feel, and what I’m going through. He admitted to me he’s married too and can’t give me the attention.

But we came to an “agreement”, that he’d shower me with gifts instead. We both get to keep our other halves and still enjoy our time together.

I know I’m going to get shamed but maybe I need a wake-up call too. But I’ve developed feelings for my expat guy. I feel pained leaving him at the end of the night. It’s affecting how I feel about my boyfriend. Now I just resent looking at my boyfriend. Everything he does wrong is multiplied exponentially in my mind. Even the way my boyfriend dresses irks me. He’s always so casual in his army singlet and flip flops. I find it so vexing that I can’t tell him I’m no longer attracted to him.

I don’t wanna break up with him, cos I think he’s gonna be broken. I’m also quite sure he can’t do better than me, but without commitment from my expat guy, I don’t know what to do.

STUDENTS RECEIVE ‘HELL NOTE’ ANG BAO FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO

Here is what the student said:

Yesterday(Feb 01,2022),in celebrating the year of tiger,grad house staff placed red envelopes for students and residents to take in the common area. However,in the red envelopes are a few 冥币(i.e.hell money/hell banknote/money for the deceased),which are paper money burnt for the dead, usually used during another Chinese festival 清明节(i.e.. Qingming Festival/Tomb-Sweeping Day). Please see the picture attached with this email, it literally prints “HELL BANK NOTE” on it! Giving 冥币(hell money) to a living person is a horrible act because you are conveying to the person that “you are dead to me” or, worse,”l wish you are dead.”

such a “mistake” is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

Judging by the Grad House website,they have several Asian-looking staff members on the team,and numerous Asian students living in Grad House.It is very clear that not only none of the students/staff from the Asian cultural community was consulted in preparation for this event,but also none of their staff cared enough to look at the things they put in the red envelopes(it literally says HELL BANK NOTE!) Therefore,this is a serious act out of,and which will maintain,cultural imperialism, white supremacy, and oppression forced upon Asian students.

Here is what netizen thinks:

I don’t understand how such ‘mistake’ could be made, even if they don’t know the real Asian currencies, it literally says HELL MONEY NOTE on the top.

Even in China you can’t find hell bills in regular store, it’s usually in stores that sell funeral related items (coffin, candles, etc). I try to convince myself that it’s simply a mistake but I do understand why there are so many people belive this is done on purpose. This tells that they simply don’t care about the asian group because this could be avoided by asking ANY asian or even google it

TOSH ZHANG CALLS HATERS OF AH GIRLS GO ARMY, “LOSERS” & “LOW CLASS”

Ah Boys To Men actor Tosh Zhang, took to Facebook and Instagram to slam the “haters” of director Jack Neo’s latest offering, Ah Girls Go Army.

The 32-year-old actor took to Facebook to voice his opinions following the announcement that Ah Girls Go Army had just exceeded the $1 million mark at the box office.

Facebook

He captioned his Facebook post:

“AH GIRLS GO ARMY has just broken the SGD$1 million mark at the box office within a few days of release.

What does this show? The haters might seem very loud online with their disdain for the film and saying it will be an absolute box office flop, but time and time again since ABTM 1 the silent supporters will always be even louder eventually by going to the cinemas and buying tickets to show their love & support.

I’m immensely proud of the AGGA cast, it has not been easy for them facing so much negativity online but results and numbers don’t lie. 

Congratulations! 💪”

Instagram

Zhang then followed that up with another post on Instagram, calling out the “haters” and saying that “what you say about others says more about you than it says about them”.

“And what are the haters gonna say now? As usual, they will say SG audiences are low class and have no taste.

But you know who are the truly low class ones? Y’all loser — haters spouting negativity constantly and putting people down.

Understand this – what you say about others says more about you than it says about them.

Stay salty and keep the mediocre hate coming while the franchise continues to be a success a decade on. #AhGirlsGoArmy 💪”

Netizens’ response

  • @kenkopite: “When everyone’s saying the same thing, it’s not being salty. It’s being honest. And those who refuse to face up to it are the real salty ones”
  • @bottled45: “Lol. I can give a long list of movies that were bad but still did well at the box office and vice versa. But I guess that’s smt a small time local actor wldnt know”
  • @iunspoken: “Respectfully, as someone in the media realm, it’s surprising to believe that you accept box office success as critical success.
    No one’s discrediting the work or hating the franchise, but your comments just shows how out of touch you are with your audiences.
    Like you said, ‘what you say about others says more about you than it says about them’”
  • @syahh.nz: “Actually, people are ironically supporting it. Most are watching just to see how bad it is. And it is.”
  • @sleepygary99: “Thing is some of the critisms were legit and instead of classifying every person who didn’t enjoy the movie into a petty hater is kind of childish and potrays a bad look to an already bland media industry in Singapore”

SCAMMER SAYS HE’S MY COUSIN, I SAID I’M HIS FATHER”

A man recently received a phone call claiming to be his cousin, even though he knew that it was a scam call her decided to entertain the scammer and waste the scammer’s time.

Here is the story of the victim:

I saw the following story online and I also received the same phone call:

The problem is he describe a scenario similar to my real cousin situation having open new bizz and lost wallet and phone needing some help to pay off some vendor. one follow by another and another. I lost 20k in 2 TRANSACTIONS before getting suspicious. I could have just asked my actual cousin to verify! 

Here is the story of a man who received the same call

The scammer called me pretending to be my cousin but don’t know my name,

But for me I did not lose any money to the scammer, I told the scammer my name is DV. He asks me what is DV. I said it’s Darth Vader also known as I am your father. Lim bei is your father.

But the scammer was obviously from overseas and did not catch what I mean and I continue to play the game. He said he needed $10,000 to pay debts to a loanshark and said if I did not help him he will be dead within a week.

I told him: “Dead in a week ah, good deal leh. Since you can’t even earn 10k in a week. Intro me the job leh”.

Then he hung up the phone.

MASSIVE, MASSIVE CROWDS AT MUSTAFA, NO SOCIAL DISTANCING

A series of photos emerged online showing the massive, massive crowding situation at Mustafa Shopping Centre.

Shoppers were seen in the photos in very close quarters with each other, with very little evidence of social distancing being exhibited.

Multiple groups were seen clustering together extremely closely while looking at the products on display at the counters.

It is also unclear when the photo was taken as the netizen who posted the photo stopped short of mentioning the date and time it was taken, only captioning it:

“Poor crowd control at Mustafa. Practically no safe distancing.”

Potential penalties

First-time offenders who breach safe distancing measures are fined $300.

For non-compliance with safe management measures under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020, offenders may be jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$10,000, or both.

MINDEF – OUR YOUTUBE SERIES ABOUT WOMEN IN THE ARMY IS THE “REAL DEAL”

Singapore’s Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) posted a trailer of their YouTube series Into The Fray: The Making of a Female Soldier onto their Facebook page.

They captioned their post:

“What’s women’s BMT like? Watch the real deal here! 💪🏻👩 If you missed our “Into the Fray: The Making of a Female Soldier” web series back in the day, catch the action here.”

And it appears as though the MINDEF’s post aims at providing Singaporeans a proper idea of what girls in the army actually go through.

The MINDEF series was released back in 2015 and follows the journey of 5 female recruits as they go through Basic Military Training.

It showcases their experiences and each episode is about less than 10 minutes long, culminating in their Passing Out Parade.

Ah Girls Go Army

This comes hot on the heels of Jack Neo’s much maligned Ah Girl Go Army movie that was released earlier this week, with many denouncing it as 2 hours of advertisement and movie cliches.

Straits Times film correspondent John Lui rated the movie 2/5 and called it “as funny as a positive Covid test,” and that it “takes effort to be this terrible”.

I personally gave it 5/5 because the movie was so terribly bad that it’s good, and that takes some remarkable talent and doing.

One movie critic (me) even said:

“My Grandfather smoked his whole life.

I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, “If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.”

Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer.

It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- ‘Don’t ever smoke. Please don’t put your family through what your Grandfather put us through.”

I agreed. All through my adulthood, I have never touched a cigarette.

I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because the movie gave me cancer anyway.”

MAN ARRESTED AFTER SPY CAM FOUND IN BANGKOK’S AUSTRALIA EMBASSY

0

A former employee of Australia’s embassy in Bangkok has been prosecuted after many spy cameras were discovered in the embassy’s women’s restrooms, according to a Canberra official on Saturday.

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade acknowledged last month’s arrest of a local former staff member by Royal Thai Police.

SD Card found on toilet floor

According to Khemmarin Hassiri, chief of the Royal Thai Police’s foreign relations branch, the Australian embassy lodged a complaint against a man on January 6. The inquiry, according to Thai police, is still underway.

According to ABC Australia, it’s unknown how long the cameras had been in the bathroom, with the situation only coming to light after a camera SD card was discovered on the toilet floor last year.

Australian defence and foreign policy expert said that this is a serious breach of security

“If security was lax enough to allow devices like cameras to be installed anywhere within a secure area, it suggests it’s not tight enough to keep the embassy secure,” said Hugh White, Emeritus Professor of Strategic Studies at the Australian National University.
