WOMAN RAN WAY WITH TODDLER AFTER DISCOVERING COUSIN CAUGHT VIRUS

A Tiktok user had uploaded two separate videos on her account recently showing a scenario which she was caught in during the Chinese New Year visitation period this year.

In the first of her videos, she said that she had bet with her husband that she had a hunch that her family will do something crazy this year during Chinese New Year as usual.

True enough, it turns out that when she was visiting her grandmother who was living with one of her cousins, his wife came out to inform them that the cousin has contracted the virus and when asked about how he was feeling she said that it might be ‘Omicron’.

The wife was also supposed to self quarantine herself as advised by the doctor.

The Tiktok user also wrote that her toddler was about to go towards her cousin’s wife and she grabbed her before she could go over.

She also mentioned in her video that she did not understand why they could not have informed them about her cousin’s condition over message or when they were in separate rooms but instead choose to tell them only when they were there for visitation.

She then ended the visit and took her toddler to leave the house and added that her cousin’s wife was blocking the stairs so that they could not leave immediately.

Netizen comments

Here are some comments by netizens who have viewed the video which at the time of writing has already garnered about 218 comments and 23,600 likes and have been forwarded almost 400 over times.

  • I would be so angry. Man, props to you for keeping calm
  • That is so IRRESPONSIBLE! If it happens to me I won’t care who that person is. I would do anything to protect my baby.
  • I hope your grandma’s okay too, if she’s living with them.
  • Evee was still so innocently going “why?, why?, why?” when her relatives didn’t protect her.
  • I love that you got your little girl out of there so quickly! psa: do NOT go out and socialise if you’re waiting on the results of a test smh

GUY TRIED BOOKING GIRL ON LOCANTO GET SCAM $3,000

There are many variations of scams that target men with “needs”. Here are a few that was lost to scammers.

Locanto Girl

I came across this girl on Locanto ad.

I got tempted. I then proceeded to the place and she didn’t show up. However, another guy called me and told me to buy cards for her. I gave a copy of my NRIC as well.

He kept on coming for more but I got enough of the threaten and took it as a lesson learn. the guy told me to pay him if not he would come my house and threaten my family and I thought after giving some amount of money, he would be gone but he kept on coming so I told myself: “i am very stupid to be scammed by people online” and I would like to advise everyone to be careful of these scams.

I am a victim and I would not want anyone to be part of it as well. report to the police if he/she continues to harass you!

OKC Girl

MEt this girl online call ting on okc changed over to wechat and continued talking over said ahe provided “services”

Asked to meet up with her didn’t know what i was thinking at that time but on that day itself she asked for my contact number after a while her boss called ah long contacted me asked to transfer over the initial fee of 150 through an app that was texted over through the girl razer silver and gold than when the transfer not successful was told to buy iTunes/razer cards from 7 eleven, q50 became 400 400 became 1200 and when he asked for another 2000.

By the time I realize it was already too late and it was likely a scam. Got threatened by the guy saying he would come find my family and i straight reported to the nearest police station headquarters to lodge report. I always thought i would be smart when these kinds of things happened and I guess not.

I hope others wouldn’t fall into the same trap as i did. In total lost 1500 but gained a valuable lesson in life.

JURONG EAST ARMED ROBBERY ACCUSED GIVEN JAIL AND CANING

0

A 22 year old Singapore Permanent Resident, Tusheintar Segaran, pleaded guilty in court today (3 Feb) for armed robbery of a licensed moneylender shop in Jurong East which resulted in him being sentenced to two years imprisonment and six strokes of the cane.

Two other charges were taken into consideration in his sentencing.

Recap on case

Tusheintar and two others, Karrtik Stalniraj and Kotta Kumar Jeswanth, had went into the shop, OT credit late in 2020 to rob them of money and made off with $48,000.

The shop became a target for them as it was only staffed with two female assistants.

Tusheintar had went into the shop alone on 19 Nov 2020 during noon time with the role of signalling to his two accomplices if the timing was right to carry out the robbery.

However it did not go according to what they have planned and he came out of the shop.

The trio then went in at around 4pm to commit the robbery, with Tusheintar acting as a lookout instead.

Kotta then grabbed one of the assistants by the hair and demanded she throw cash into a grey haversack he was carrying while brandishing a karambit knife to threaten her.

The shop assistant known as Ms Candy Yang Siqi was also instructed by Kotta not to scream for help.

While Kotta was threating Yang, the other accomplice Karrtik scavenged the shop for more cash while Tusheintar stayed outside to stand guard throughout the whole process.

They then locked Yang in a small office at the back and escaped on foot with their loot of $48,000 which Tusheintar was given $14,000 for his part.

Mitigation

Tusheintar’s lawyer who acted in pro bono argued that even though it was a armed robbery, his client did not use a weapon at all during the whole process and only stood guard.

His $14,000 was also recovered by the Police and it was the first time he brushed the law.

While the judge had noted that Tusheintar had only served as a lookout, he said that his role was an enabling factor for his two accomplices to carry out the crime more confidently.

Kotta pleaded guilty last January and is undergoing reformative training currently as he was below 21 years old during the robbery.

Karrtik’s case is still pending.

NETIZENS DISGUSTED BY ATM USERS WHO THROW RECEIPTS EVERYWHERE

Many of the netizens blame the bank for not keeping it clean, partially it is the responsibility of the bank to hire cleaners to clean it up.

Responsibility should be users not the bank

But, the responsibility falls on the users. You can hire 10 cleaners but if 1000 daily users are dirty bugs who throw trash everywhere the number of cleaners won’t make a difference.

User’s comments:

  • Perhaps the cleaners are still on leave. DBS, it is quite embarrassing for your image. @ Bukit Botok near blk 154
  • DBS, it is quite embarrassing for your image. @ Bukit Botok near blk 154 ???No Sir / Mdm..Its actually embarrassing for the ppl who used the DBS outlet..Shame on the ppl who used the outlet..Even Primary sch young children are reminded to clean and care for their environments after use.

Many defend the bank and said it should be the users keeping it clean

  • It’s our social responsibilities to keep the place clean. Dun see why the blame is on DBS or the cleaners. Should shame those who dirty the places
  • People whom have transaction, should do their part, by disposing unwanted slip into the bin provided. Instead of waiting for cleaners! Or rather blaming on teller owners.

SAMBAR DEER & 70 SPECIES SPOTTED USING MANDAI WILDLIFE BRIDGE

0

The Mandai Wildlife Bridge was launched in late 2019 as an animals only crossing for them to cross the Central Catchment Nature Reserve which was cut off into two forest patches to accommodate Mandai Lake Road.

This bridge is situated near the Singapore Zoo and there have been reports of sightings of 70 different species of animals using the crossing including the rare sambar deer.

Some animals spotted include:

  • Sunda Scops Owl
  • Common-Palm Civet
  • Large-tailed nightjar
  • Lesser short-nosed fruit bat

The bridge is covered in vegetation such as native trees and trees that grow to various heights to create a multi-layered forest so as to encourage animals to use it, so as to prevent road kill when these animals attempt to cross via the road.

More commonly seen animals in forests surrounding the area like the sambar deer and wild pigs etc have adapted quite well to the use of the bridge.

Other less common species like the lesser mousedeer etc are expected to use the bridge more often one the vegetation on it grows further.

By 2025, Mandai Wildlife group expects the vegetation on the bridge to grow and form a canopy, covering the crossing.

The undergrowth area on the bridge have also been designed with bridge, logs, branches and leaf litter to create stepping stones or places for the smaller species to use and hide.

To add more to the species of trees on the bridge, saplings which were saved from nearby sites are also used.

Spotting of animals

Mandai Wildlife group installed six cameras over the area to spot if animals were indeed using the crossing.

The footage will also be used by the Mandai Wildlife group to make plans for restoration as well as make improvements to wildlife connectivity and also to study their population.

Endangered animals in Singapore have been frequently spotted using the bridge like the Sambar deer which had less than 20 of them in 2010 and even species like the Sunda pangolin and lesser mousedeer have been seen looking for food on the bridge.

Other animals have also been using the bridge for various other reasons other than crossing such as the monitor lizard basking in the sun and changeable hawk-eagles perching there.

Long-tailed macaques were also seen with their young there.

Mandai precinct development

It is also said that when the development of the Mandai precinct is ready, five parks will be housed there and they are the upcoming Rainforest Wild, Bird Paradise along with three others which are already there such as the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and the River Wonders.

A resort which is eco-friendly will also be built there.

HUSBAND MADE HIS BOSS PREGNANT, WIFE TOLD TO SUE HIM FOR ALIMONY

Husband cheated, mistress said she’s pregnant, I think they are still messaging – what should I do?

At the end of 2020, I found out that my husband of 5years cheated on me with his female boss. After all the hoohaa that lasted for about 7months, my husband and I decided to let go of everything and start afresh.

It’s easier said than done – things didn’t go smoothly for me. I started to have nightmares about him cheating and constantly having doubts in him. I’ve tried to put aside all the negative thoughts in me but still tend to suspect him.

Firstly, at the end of the hoohaas the mistress messaged me to tell me that she’s pregnant. She said that she can do a DNA test but would rather not as she didn’t want anything from us. She has a bf from China and the affair started when the bf went back to China and ended when he came back, so she left me with questions – does the baby belong to her bf or my husband.

Secondly, I’ve been checking their last seen and found out that they would go online around the same time and go offline a few mins apart. The worst is that on some days, my husband would bring his phone to the toilet and I see them go online and offline together. Coincidence on 2 or 3 occasions might still be by chance, but this happened almost everytime I checked.

Need some advice on what to do. When I confronted him, he said he did not message her but the coincidence is too much. What can I do?

Here are what people advise her:

Accumulate evidence, divorce him. File for alimony and move on with your life. Since he took your love and youth, all you can do now is take his money out of spite, not need. Don’t come and oh I don’t need his money I’m independent blablabla. Money is money. You deserve better.

i will be very petty. I will go and tell their bosses. Like I will make a big fuss in their office, make sure everyone knows about it, and their industry circle. Is not like he divorced and then such thing happen.

GIRL CHAT WITH LOVE OF HER LIFE ONLINE, TURNS OUT TO BE A BOT

0

“This dude I met on a random website looking for friends, he is 21. And I saw that he used to text at 1+am, 2+am, 3+am, and 4+am. He also texted at 10+am, 12+pm, 4+pm, 6+pm and also 10+pm. He is still like this after half a year. And he is ultra-thin, but not anorexic, just quite thin, and very tall. He looks very youthful and very healthy. And also incredibly handsome.

But, like, is there something amiss? Are 21-year-old guys all like that? When I was that young, I think I also never sleep until like 3 am but only for a short time before I became looking anorexic, unhealthy, pale and disastrous. Is he ok? Is this normal? I understand that guys don’t need to sleep but like I’ve never really known they are 24hours alive type until now. What could possibly be happening? Does he sleep at 1 am on Monday, 2 am on Tuesday, 3 am on Wednesday and 4 am on Thursday?

Should I be kaypoh and ask him about it. Why? Is he going to you know, peg out? Is he facing some problems? Is it normal?

And, is he trying to prove a point to me that he is nonchalant and he doesn’t sleep, all around the clock? Like he must reply to me exactly after one and a half-day. It used to be like that half a year ago as well, but his math is always correct. Exactly 1.5 days in the wee hours of the morning? What does it mean? Should I ask him?”

Here are what netizens think:

Guys no need sleep, they only need ***

We operate by shifts. Usually I take the night time and hand over the account after 6am.

He is busy flirting u please don’t kacau.If you really like to kacau, make sure you can be vibrant brilliant jovial for every single millisecond of your life because this person is used to getting high and happy all the times if you show a little sign of insecurity and getting sulky,he will ditch you and get high again:)

You didn’t sleep that’s why you could stalk himBUT… maybe he does sleep in the day like 3am to 8am, and nap

7 PEOPLE EVACUATED AFTER YELLOW SMOKE EMIT FROM CHEMICALS @ LOYANG

0

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that they were alerted to a hazardous chemical leak incident at 51 Loyang Drive at around 5:05 PM on Tuesday (Feb. 1).

SCDF said that they saw yellow smoke coming out of a container on the premises.

Here is what SCDF said on Facebook:

On 1st February 2022 (today) at about 5.05 pm, SCDF received a call for assistance at the above-mentioned location.

Upon SCDF’s arrival, yellow smoke was emitting from a chemical waste container measuring 4 metres by 2 metres within the premises’ compound.

Firefighters from Changi Fire Station donned breathing apparatus sets and proceeded cautiously with a water jet to disperse the harmful vapours. Concurrently, detectors were used to confirm the presence of Hazardous Material (HazMat).

SCDF’s HazMat specialists, from Tampines Fire Station, in fully encapsulated High-Performance Suits (HPS), entered the chemical waste container to further mitigate the incident.

The leakage originated from bottles and drums stored in the container and they were sealed in HazMat bags to prevent further leakage.

There were no reported injuries. About seven persons from the premises self-evacuated before SCDF’s arrival.

Latest readings from the SCDF’s HazMat detectors confirmed no traces of hazardous vapour in the surrounding atmosphere.

WOMAN TIRED OF HER FIANCE WHO DOESN’T CARE ABOUT EVERYTHING

0

A woman shared how her fiance doesn’t care about their marriage proposal, wedding and house hunting, and is asking others if they would stay in they were in her shoes.

Here is the story

Bf does not care about proposal, wedding, house – suggestion and help needed for a lost lady here

I have been with my bf for 4 yrs. We are in our early 30’s. I am now not sure if this man is serious and if we should continue this relationship.

So he proposed to me in Dec 2021, because of a deadline he had promised my dad about one year ago.

He asked me about my dream proposal – location, ring design, proposal day details. He ended up picking glamping even though I had previously commented that glamping only looks glam but is not to my liking. He also got the ring design wrong, despite us visiting 10 shops to show him my ideal design. For dinner, the package we booked was bbq but he did not clarify with them carefully – it turned out to be DIY bbq instead of them bbq for you. So after all the hiccups, we just decided to go nearby for dinner.. Which we ended up eating at 10PM? I was starving. I am so upset with the proposal, but am I asking too much? What’s the point of asking what I want when he didn’t deliver on anything?

Secondly, we have been house hunting for a resale flat for about one year now. But I feel he hasn’t been serious in finding a house. He will always distract me with other plans and I will forget it. So basically, every month or so I will have to check back with him if he has found anything. I will always send him potential listings but he lacks involvement. Sometimes, I would even ask him to WhatsApp the agent to check on the listing, but it would slip his mind. It seems I will have to be the one finding the house on my own. He would keep sending my listings that do not meet our previously discussed criteria, let alone ethnic quota, which he has done so many times.

3rd rant. We are looking to get married in June. An intimate-style wedding. As the deadline is tight, I thought it is OK to start planning ASAP. I have already started doing research on the venue, photography, videography, which are the main things I suppose. He just lepak and let me do all the work. We want something more affordable and it definitely requires some effort and research. At some point of time, he even mentioned that he wanted to get it done and over with.

I’m just sad about his lack of involvement in almost everything. He seems like it just does not bother him as much? Especially after he often makes it known what he wants but does not actually take any action on his part. He doesn’t seem to care about what is important to me despite me actively sharing it with him way too many times. I am tired. I’m not sure if I am expecting too much from him.

What should I do? Would you stay if your partner treats you like this?

Netizens’ comments

Oh get use to it. It will get worse after you married to him. Like you want some appreciation of what u did, he will give you nothing but silence treatment.

This is life.

If u really want something, get it yourself. You dun need a man to give u what u want.
