Aye Aye Than, 26-years-old, reportedly spat on, hit and forcefully grabbed the neck of a 72-year-old stroke patient under her care.

The Myanmar national pleaded guilty to one count of voluntarily causing hurt to a vulnerable person and was sentenced to 10 weeks jail yesterday (3 June).

Another 3 charges of using criminal force against the victim were considered during sentencing.

What happened?

The victim lived with his wife and daughter, and he was bedridden after suffering multiple strokes.

He was unable to perform daily tasks on his own and he choked easily on food, resulting in him needing to be fed through a tube.

The victim also found it difficult to speak because it was painful.

Aye Aye Than was employed to take care of the victim from 1 Jan 2020 to 7 Feb 2021.

She was tasked with changing his diapers, feeding him 5 times a day as well as removing his phlegm.

Than underwent training at Ren Ci Community Hospital during the first few days of her employment, where the victim had undergone rehabilitation.

On 5 February this year, at around 8.30am, she hit the victim’s arm with excessive force while feeding him.

She then spat on his face a while later.

Later that same day, she grabbed the back of the victim’s head forcefully while helping him up from his wheelchair.

The abuse was then reported to the police 2 days later on 7 February, by the victim’s daughter.

Unable to defend himself

CCTV footages of the abuse were played in court, and Deputy Public Prosecutor Jotham Tay said that the victim was bedridden and had difficulty communicating, hence he was particularly vulnerable.

Aye Aye then mitigated for herself and said that she was sorry and that she was the breadwinner for her family.

She pleaded for the shortest possible sentence, explaining that she wanted to return to Myanmar.

The judge then said:

“The only thing that can be said in favour of the accused is that she has pleaded guilty so there is no need for the victim to testify in court, if that is even possible.”

“I hope that after this is over… (such) things will not happen with you again. You should really reflect on what you’ve done.”

A guy was caught red-handed on CCTV stealing money from a convenience store at Yishun (Jeya Spices).

Happening yesterday (3 June) at about 11.58am, the guy was caught on camera stealing the money when one of the staff had gone to the toilet, and another was busy with a coconut machine.

The guy then swept the plastic container containing the money clean, stuffing the money into his bag.

He even used the stolen money to make a purchase at the same shop that he stole from.

The owner of the mama shop said that he understands that life is not easy and had the guy explained his situation to him, he would’ve given it (the items?) to him for free.

He is appealing to the perpetrator to own up because he “don’t want to make a police report yet” and leave a “permanent stain on his record”.

The alleged perpetrator is described as being in his 20s and having a visible tattoo on his right forearm, and was seen with a woman believed to be his wife/girlfriend.

Kelmen Wong Yew Hui, 24-years-old, pleaded guilty to 2 charges of voyeurism and was sentenced to 16 weeks jail yesterday (3 June).

He had taken upskirt videos of multiple women.

He was previously sentenced to 12 weeks jail in 2019 for the same offence of taking upskirt videos, and he reoffended after he was released.

The identities of the victims cannot be named due to a gag order.

Wong took an upskirt video of a 13-year-old girl in her school uniform at Chinese Garden MRT on 11 March last year, at around 7.45am.

He stood behind the victim as they went up an escalator and used his phone to film her.

A passerby saw the incident, and station manager Ahmad Ghuzali Rashid was only alerted about the incident the following morning.

Ahmad then went to the open ear in the MRT station at the same time that day and saw Wong recording another upskirt video of a second victim, a 27-year-old woman.

He then called the police and Wong was then subsequently arrested.

A Facebook user, Douglas Chow, shared how he was browsing through Lazada when he stumbled upon a very peculiar listing.

It appears to be a listing of cow dung, and it is being priced at $8.99 instead of its usual price of $9, a 0.1% discount.

We’re not sure why it’s listed on the platform but that’s some good sh*t man!
