GUY STOLE $2 FROM HIS MOTHER EVERY DAY UNTIL HE GOT MORE THAN $2K

0

A netizen shared how he used to steal money from his mother when he was a child and accumulated more than $2k.

Here is the story

I used to steal $2 from my parents piggy bank every day when I was 10

A kid has no sense of responsibility and yet still selfish wanting more of literally everything they see.

When I was little, my parents only gave a $5 a day as pocket money and at first, it was fine to me. But as I aged a little, I notice I couldn’t buy things my classmates had and I always have to borrow it from them.

It was exhausting always have been told “why not buy it yourself” or “you could afford that, just buy one.”

So being pressured and with no discipline at all, I started to steal $2 (which is a really high amount of money for a ten yr old kid). They didn’t notice it though, AND IT’S FREAKING ME OUT SINCE I AM ALREADY 27 NOW AND THEY HAVEN’T QUESTIONED IT YET. geez.

Should I tell them?

Btw, I steal money from them almost every day for 3 whole years, all the way until i reached secondary 1.

The money accumulated is in the low two thousands, although I did spend some of it on toys when i was younger, the rest of the money still sits in my room lol.

Netizens comments

I stole thousands from my father as an older kid, young teen. He’d hand me his debit card and say go take out $20 and I’d take $40 or eventually even more.

I used to steal coins from my dad’s car when I was a kid to buy candy, many many years later I told him about it and he told me he put the coins there on purpose…lol

0

Earlier today The Ministry of Health said that they are investigating the death of a 103-year-old woman who was given a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by mistake.

The woman who resides at ECON Healthcare (Nursing Home located in Chai Chee) was given an additional dose of COVID-19 vaccine by a mobile vaccination team from PanCare Medical Clinic. when she had already received three. The incident happened on 13 December 2021.

She was admitted to Changi General Hospital 3 days later for pneumonia, hyponatremia, and later suffered a stroke and died on 10 January 2022.

The autopsy report revealed that the main cause of her death was pneumonia, with other contributing factors being cerebral infarction (or stroke) and coronary artery disease, which are natural disease processes common in seniors. The Coroner has not determined whether these causes of death were linked to the vaccination. 

MOH investigations

MOH said that they are taking a serious view on this incident and investigations are expected to be completed in Feb 2022.

MOH said that preliminary findings were that the vaccine was erroneously administered due to possible irregularities in vaccination procedures and poor communication between the nursing home and the medical service provider handling the vaccination. This is the first case of mistaken identity leading to erroneous vaccination by a mobile vaccination team in over 152,000 vaccinations to date. 

Both ECON Healthcare and PanCare Medical Clinic have reviewed their processes to prevent a recurrence. 

MAS: DON’T EXPECT GOODWILL PAYOUTS FOR SCAM CASES TO BE A GIVEN

0

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), said today (4 Feb) that recent goodwill payouts given by OCBC to cover their customers losses to scammers are only a one off, and the public should not expect the same gesture from them for future cases.

There were hundreds of customers who fell prey to these scams last month and the bank had said that all those affected will get full payouts.

The bank had considered that their customer services were not up to standard when they decided on these goodwill gestures.

Stronger security measures

Banks have strengthened their security measures to prevent more scams from happening and these include:

  • Removing links in SMS phone messages or emails sent to customers
  • Setting a default amount of S$100 or lower for funds transfer transaction notifications
  • Downtime of at least 12 hours before the activating a new soft token on a mobile device.

MAS is also working with banks to progressively roll out new measures in the coming months.

There will also be loss sharing in cases such as scams.

Losses sharing

MAS has chaired a Payments Council to come up with a framework targets to provide clarification on how much should consumers and banks pay for losses through scams.

The frame work will mean that both parties will need to play their part to be vigilant to prevent scams, banks will need to do their part to protect their customers and customers also have to play their part to not fall prey to phishing links.

The party who did not do their part to be vigilant will have to bear more proportion in the losses.

MAS plans to release this framework for the public to air their views and concerns within the next three months.

GANGSTER IN VIRAL CHINATOWN RIOT WITH PARANG, GETS ROTAN AND JAIL

0

24 year old Muhammad Syukri Muhammad Iskandar was convicted today (4 Feb) on two counts of rioting with a deadly weapon, a count of being a member of a gang and a count of breaking pandemic rules on gatherings in a social setting.

He pleaded guilty to all four of the charges and there are another five more that will be taken into consideration.

What happened

Syukri had gathered four other men on 10 May 2020, 3:30am at People’s Park Complex as he wanted to fight with another gang.

He did so to confront the rival gang because they were accused by them of holding one of the co-accused, 29 year old Muhammad Roslan Mohamed Rumli’s girlfriend against her will.

The group accompanied Roslan to find his girlfriend at one of the units in People’s Park Complex, and were prepared to fight if the situation calls for it.

A fight between the two gangs eventually broke out, with those in Roslan’s gang wielding knives and Syukri using a helmet in the fight at a certain part of it.

A video had emerged online of the fight previously and the footage seem to come from a CCTV in the area where it happened.

Events in court

Documents stated that Syukri, Roslan and two others Noor Najat Alwi, and Muhammad Farid Surian, both 20 years old had gathered at Roslan’s place before and after the fight broke out which broke the pandemic rules during the Circuit Breaker period.

All four of them were also members from the same gang.

A jail term of 32 months and five weeks, and five strokes of the cane was asked for by the prosecutor who said that the fight was pre-planned.

Casualties from the fight also suffered severe injuries with one man lying in his own pool of blood.

Syukri and some of the accused also tried to hide from the Police which caused a manhunt before they were finally arrested on 18 May 2020.

Syukri had no defense lawyer in court and spoke via a translator to express his regret and apologised for his doings.

He asked for an eight weeks deferment for whatever the sentencing will be as he has to see to his two children’s schooling arrangements.

He will need to be back in court on 29 March for sentencing and in total, 12 of those involved in the fight have already been charged other than Roslan whose case is still pending.

Recap

HIGH VACCINATION RATES COULD SEE THE END OF COVID PANDEMIC IN EUROPE

0

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said on 3 February that with a growing list of European countries lifting almost all of their restrictions on Covid-19, there is hope for a long period of “tranquility” and “enduring peace” in the war against Covid-19 in Europe.

Hans Kluge, the director of WHO Europe, said that with the high vaccination rates, the milder Omicron variant and the end of winter coming, Europe could see a “ceasefire that could bring us enduring peace”.

Hans said that “this context leaves us with the possibility for a long period of tranquillity,” adding that this is an opportunity to take control of the transmission, but that is not to say that the pandemic is all over.

He further added that “Even with a more virulent variant (than Omicron), it is possible to respond to new variants that will inevitably emerge – without reinstalling the kind of disruptive measures we needed before.”

Sweden joined the list of countries lifting their curbs, as the pandemic enters a “whole new phase”, setting 9 February as the date.

Stockholm will see the 11pm closing time for bars and restaurants to be lifted, along with the mandatory limits on the crowd numbers.

Face masks will also no longer be recommended to be put on in public transport.

The Prime Minister of Sweden Magdalena Andersson said that the pandemic isn’t over but they are entering a whole new phase.

Their Health Minister also added that although the curbs will be lifted, they are still vigilant about the progress of the pandemic.
