According to a court hearing, a widow sued her husband’s sister for defamation during awake and at a car dealership demanded SGD$4.1 million in compensation but she only receives SGD$40,000.

48-year-old Lim Siew Ling sued 57-year-old Neo Choon Sian after Neo called Lima “rotten woman” and said that Lim had misappropriated funds from the company. At a wake, Neo also described Lim as “was an immoral woman who has many sexual partners”.

Lim’s lawyer breakdown the SGD4.1 million by saying that SGD$100,000 for general damages, SGD$100,000 for aggravated damages and $3.9 million in punitive damages

Punitive damages are legal recompense that a defendant found guilty of committing an offence and is ordered to pay on top of compensatory damages.

The case was used to compare with the high profile defamation suit between Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Leong Sze Hian which only accumulated a total of SGD$133,000 in damages. The judge said that the higher damages, in that case, was due to their high standing in Singapore and devotion to public service.

Therefore the $4.1m in damages does not quantify.

According to a media release, Dream Cruise’s World Dream ship had to return to Singapore after a Covid-19 case was found onboard.

The itinerary of the cruise was 4 days 3 nights to nowhere and the ship left Singapore on Sunday( July 11) and returned to Singapore earlier today(July 14) at about 6.30 AM earlier by 2.5 hours.

The ship was forced to return after one of the passengers was found to be in close contact with a recent case and later the passenger was tested positive onboard.

Even though the passenger was tested negative before the departure it does not mean the passenger is covid free.

While the person was undergoing testing all passengers had to remain in their cabins and all entertainment facilities on board had to be close. Imagine after paying for a cruise and only to be told to stay in the cabins until the test results were out.

Passengers who were told to stay in doors was delivered with food that is less than satisfactory for the price they are paying for.

A photo emerged online showing a foodpanda rider carrying his fellow foodpanda rider.

An accident occurred at Block 201 Yishun Street 21 between an e-scooter and an e-bike.

One of the riders was injured from the crash and couldn’t walk, another rider passing by then immediately stopped and carried the injured rider to the shelter.

More and more riders came to his aid and rendered assistance.

Here is the full story:

“One rider who was injured lay on the ground as he was unable to get up and walk. Another rider who passed by saw this, and immediately came to help the injured rider by carrying him to the shelter.

It wasn’t long before more riders came by and rendered assistance to the injured rider.

It was a very heart warming scene indeed!

👍☺️🌞”
