According to the media release, A 66-year-old man was arrested after he started a fire at a building along Ubi Road.
At 4.05 p.m. on July 11, police were notified of a fire that had broken out in a unit of an industrial building on Ubi Road 1.
The fire appeared to have been started on purpose, according to the initial inquiry.
Before arresting him on Friday, police conducted extensive ground investigations and used photos from police cameras to determine the man’s identification.
He could face a lifetime in prison as well as a fine if convicted of mischief by fire with the intent to destroy a building.
The photo invited a bunch of hilarious comments from netizens:
“No big deal. Its just another Toyota to his father”
“He can drive Good car but handle like poor driver….”
“Ferrari owner better buy Myvi car to drive”
The car cost
A Ferrari in Singapore can cost between SGD$880,000 to over SGD$1.4 million. It is unclear which model this Ferrari is but it appears to be Ferrari 812 SuperFast which cost over SGD$1.4m.

A man shared a story of his needy girlfriend who claims to have depression and need her boyfriend to be beside her 24/7 or she will start cheating on him as she is addicted to the magic hotdog, it is more likely she has an itch than depression:
Full Story:
I feel like in a dilemma. I have a GF and she has depression and I have been by her side making sure she is recovering well and spending all my time with her.
Recently I found a full-time job and I am working for our future so I can buy a house and she can stay in with me but because of work, I spend lesser time with her as compared to previously where I am with her from morning till night and she is saying that I am neglecting her and she says “this is why I need another guy to take care of me so that when you are busy with work, I still receive love from someone else.”
I feel so hurt and stuffs, why does her depression goes up and down like the stock market?
Sometimes I just wish I am a millionaire and not worry about work.
Minister of Education Chan Chun Seng posted a Facebook post yesterday(July 30), highlighting feedback he received from parents about home-based learning. While some parents are worried of their child and wishes to have 100% full home-based learning, there is also a group of them who are against it due to arrangements and environment.
Here is what he posted on Facebook:
I have received feedback from some parents who are keen on transiting to Full Home-based Learning (Full HBL) and others who are against this. Such mixed views are understandable.
Singapore is unlikely to see zero community cases in the short term, and vaccination for younger children is currently unavailable. At the same time, we recognise the impact that Full HBL has on all of us:
Full HBL on a prolonged basis comes at a significant cost to our students’ learning, and socio-emotional and mental well-being. In addition, not all of them have conducive home environments for HBL.
There are many parents who have to scramble to make alternative care arrangements, which may not necessarily be better for their children.
Teachers are juggling the additional demands of preparing and conducting online lessons while taking care of their families. We all know that disruption to normalcy can cause fear, stress and despair, which has serious and real consequences in the long term. What then would be the sustainable solution going forward?
As a parent myself, I would like to reassure fellow parents that our schools remain safe places for learning. We have implemented Stringent Safe Management Measures (SMMs) to minimise transmission risks. Surveillance measures are in place to detect potential COVID-19 positive cases as soon as possible, and we are using ringfencing measures such as Ministry of Education, Singapore’s Leave of Absence (LOA) to keep potential cases out of schools.
Over the last 3 months, 129 students and 17 school staff have tested positive for COVID-19. This represents 0.03% of our total student population, from Primary to Pre-University levels. We would like to thank parents for working closely with our schools, to manage the risks of #COVID19, and enable continued learning. With our collective efforts, the average attendance rate of our schools has consistently remained comparable to pre-COVID.
Based on currrent science and what we understand about the virus, MOE will continue to adopt a targeted approach to deal with COVID-19 cases in our schools. This means that when we have a school case, we will isolate those who are close contacts of the positive case through LOA or a Quarantine Order. In exceptional cases where the situation is unclear, we may put the entire school on HBL to break any possible transmission as well as give Ministry of Health, Singapore time to test and investigate thoroughly before re-opening the school.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and review if any adjustment is needed in line with national guidelines, especially as we transit towards managing COVID-19 as an endemic disease.
A 33-year-old woman shared how she has been married to her husband for 3 years but is unhappy.
She reasoned that it was because her s*xual life is dull and she feels lonely.
She says that they have s*x on average, once every two months.
She feels that her husband has zero interest in her and she had requested to split up.
Here is the story:
“I’m a 33 yo lady married to my husband for 3 years and dated for 10 years.
To him, we are having mostly happy, friendly, and supportive relationship.
To me, I am not happy with the dull s*xual life, in average once in 2 months. While the relationship seems fine but I feel extremely lonely, rejected, angry, and helpless, especially I have no explanation for why this is going on.
I have talked to him about this multiple times, telling him my feeling and wanting to understand his too. He always just simply brush off with lame excuses e.g. he forgot.
After several attempts of discussions, I have resigned myself to the fact that he has zero interest in me. So, I requested to split up a few times, he always reject. I don’t understand why is he so mean for dragging me down like that. Why can’t we just move on. I am stuck I don’t enjoy my marriage life.
If I am to take the chance, I have to try to accept that I will always be unfulfilled, feeling rejected by his lack of affection.”
