GF GOT INSULTED AND LEAVE BECAUSE BF’S FRIEND ALL HAO LIAN DOCTORS

0

So for context, my boyfriend is a doctor, Most of his friends are from work and they all seem to dislike me and act distant maybe cause I’m not a doctor too? Idk and don’t care honestly, since we started dating they’ve been asking to hang out without me and they leave any event I’m at. My boyfriend said they’re just taking their time to get used to me.

Anyways, His B-day was days ago, I’d arranged for the party and paid for everything. It wasn’t a surprise since the party was held at the restaurant, and he needed heads-up so he could invite his doctor friends.

We got there then his friends started arriving, They came to greet him and started shaking his hand and hugging him while completely ignoring me though I was there next to him!.

The tension started when one of them started making remarks about the way I dressed, I sucked it up but another friend started interrogating me about my degree then implying I was ignorant of my food choice (wtf?).

An hour later another one asked if I could leave because they wanted to discuss work stuff and it’s confidential. I was so shocked I laughed asking why he thought it was appropriate to discuss work during a party and he replied that I had an “attitude”.

An argument ensued and they ‘demanded’ that I leave but I said absolutely not, My boyfriend finally spoke up after it escalated and asked that I keep the peace and go home but I refused and reminded him and let his friends know that I’d arranged for this party and paid for it and so they should leave since they’re just “guests”. He pulled me aside and begged me to go home after they said if I don’t leave then they will but I still refused. They left, all of them, and the party was cut short. my boyfriend was upset and started complaining at home that I ruined his B-day the minute I started arguing with his friends. I told him they were being disrespectful to me but he said I was wrong too cause they said they wanted to discuss medical stuff and I should’ve respected that and not made it “personal”.

He’s not speaking to me now, I was so hurt I couldn’t argue anymore, I felt like I ruined his birthday by making a scene like he said and acting pass-aggressive.

Am I wrong?

To say that the reason I refused to leave was that I figured they used the “medical stuff discussion” as an excuse to get me to leave early.

CAR PARK AT MOTOR LOT, KANA FUNNY MESSAGE FROM UNHAPPY MOTORIST

We are have our fair share of experience with drivers that are not parking properly, sometimes they are parking at completely wrong places.

A photo of a car was uploaded alongside a message.

The car was parked in the motorcycle lot of an HDB estate, paste on the driver’s window was:

“Your father should had wear …. so that he won’t have a stupid … child like you, learn to see the proper parking lot for cars, you dumb f.“

A netizen said: “Not sure if this constitutes illegal parking, if Im not wrong this one the parking fine is $50.”

Leaving a message like that is funny but at the same time rude, the man/woman who placed the message should have just reported the incident to the authorities so the man receives a fine.

Not all netizens agree with the message left behind, one of the netizen said:

“We should not talk or mentioned about parents mistakes, we have parents too, he is grown up person and should used his brain before park his car, that is his attitude and mannerisms problems.”

“DRUG LEAVES” FOUND AT WOODLANDS CHECKPOINT, 5 MEN ARRESTED FOR DRUG OFFENCES

A trash bag that contained 22 bundles of 5.8kg of Kratom leaves were found being hidden in the battery compartment of the lorry.

The Malaysian driver of the lorry, a 33-year-old, was arrested and subsequently referred to CNB.

CNB officers then arrested a 33-year-old Singaporean man, a 40-year-old Malaysian man, and another 27-year0old Malaysian man near Pandan Loop in their follow-up operations on the same day.

A 31-year-old Malaysian man was then arrested at a commercial building at Beach Road the next day.

ICA and CNB then released a statement on 5 January that investigations are ongoing at the moment.

What are Kratom leaves?

Kratom leaves are used in traditional medicine and are commonly pounded into a liquid or brewed before consuming – they can also be chewed.

The leaves are known to cause severe side effects such as damage to the liver of the heart.

The last time Kratom leaves were seized at a checkpoint was back in 2019.

Persons found guilty of importing Class A controlled drugs into Singapore face a minimum of 5 years in prison as well as 5 strokes of the cane.

EX-BANK SUPERVISOR TRANSFER OVER $620K TO SCAMMER TO GET $25,000

Nurashikeen Sinin was a branch supervisor at Bank Negara Indonesia (Singapore Branch) who became a victim of a scam.

She was faced with personal debts of over SGD$83,000 and tried to secure a loan from moneylenders who turn out to be scammers.

She transferred $628,000 from the bank she was working at to the scammers.

Her job as a supervisor empowered her to take control of the money and was in charge of putting the money into the bank’s vault. The City Plaza bank tellers would entrust her with the cash each day.

While she was stressed with the debt she was facing, she searched online for a money lending service, and little that she knows that it was a scammer’s website. After she contacted the “money lending” website she was contacted via Whatsapp and she was given instructions to pay an admin fee of $2,500 for the loan.

She was then contacted multiple times to transfer a few thousand dollars at a time for different kinds of “fees”.

The scammers even send her fake documents from other banks and she continued to transfer more and more to the scammers until the amount reached $735,000.

38-year-old Nurashikeen was jailed four years after she pleaded guilty to one count of criminal breach of trust.

MOH AWARE OF “HEALING THE DIVIDE” GROUP DISRUPTING VACCINATION CENTRES

0

The Ministry of Health(MOH) has published a Facebook post regarding the group “Healing the Divide”.

Previously, MOH urge the public to get info from reputable sources such as the local authorities.

This is the second time “Healing the Divide” is in the news. Previously, MOH shares that Koh’s channel has a long history of sharing information and content which are falsehoods and misleading with regards to Covid-19 vaccination.

Here is what MOH said:

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐓𝐃’𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬

The Ministry of Health (MOH) is aware that a group called “Healing the Divide”, founded by Ms Iris Koh, has exhorted parents through a message on their Telegram channel on 27 December 2021, to visit the paediatric vaccination centres to overwhelm on-site medical staff with questions.

Such an act will greatly disrupt operations at our paediatric vaccination centres, and amount to an instigation of harassment of the medical staff. It is a very serious matter, and MOH has therefore made a police report. We urge everyone to exercise social responsibility and not be misled by the promptings of the group, which has a history of sharing misleading information about COVID-19 and its vaccines.

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and other regulatory authorities around the world have approved the Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine for use in children aged 5 to 11, after comprehensive clinical trials. This is no different from how other drugs have been approved for use. Designated paediatric vaccination centres have been set up island-wide to administer safe vaccinations for children.

WORKER CAUGHT STEALING BY EMPLOYER, GIVEN 2ND CHANCE – THEN GOT CAUGHT AGAIN

Charlene Ashby Clay, 24-year-old, pleaded guilty on 4 January to 3 charges, including criminal breach of trust, and was sentenced to 16 months and 2 weeks imprisonment.

Four more charges that included cheating and falsifying accounts were considered for her sentencing.

She was previously caught embezzling money but her employer gave her a chance, and she then got caught again after she continued stealing money from the clinic’s earnings.

What happened?

Charlene was working as a dental assistant at Dr Smile Dental Clinic at Clementi Avenue 3, when the dentist Dr Hsu Wei Cheng, who is also the owner, was alerted to discrepancies in his clinic’s earnings.

About $44,861 was missing from the clinic’s system.

Dr Hsu then confronted Charlene, who admitted to embezzling and stealing the money paid by the clinic’s patients.

She would take the money paid to her by the patients and key the transaction into the system as electronic payment, intending to make the transaction harder to verify immediately.

Charlene pleaded with Dr Hsu not to cancel her work permit and he then gave her a chance, with the two agreeing that the sum of $44,861 will be paid via deductions of about $650 to $1050 from her monthly salaries.

A year later, Dr Hsu asked a patient to make a payment of $200 to which he was then told that the patient had already paid $3,700 for the entire operation.

This was against his clinic’s policy of charging the patients after their visit.

Dr Hsu then confronted Charlene, who admitted to stealing from the clinic again, this time stealing $113,520 by getting patients to transfer full payments to her PayNow account for a “discount”.

Charlene would then transfer small amounts of the money back into the clinic’s bank account for the treatment packages to avoid any suspicion.

Here is the story:

“I recently matched with a guy who lives at Pasir Ris while I live at Bukit Batok. I need advice from LDR couples.

How can we make this LDR work? What are some midpoint locations/activities that we can do? How do you distribute travel time?

How often do you meet? Thanks in advance!”
