An Ah Long (loanshark) allegedly sent $1,000 worth of food delivery orders to a HDB unit at Block 468C Fernvale Link.
The police were made aware of the case of intentional harassment yesterday (31 May) at around 1.30pm, after several delivery riders were sent to the unit with orders marked “cash-on-delivery”.
The orders were made by a man under the alias of Saju Man on Foodpanda.
More than 10 delivery riders were directed to the same unit; one of the riders, a 23-year-old, said that such a debt collecting method is despicable.
The man was hospitalised on 28 April after he developed a fever and other symptoms.
He was later diagnosed on 28 May as having the H10N3 avian influenza virus.
Close contacts of the man were put under observation, and no other cases were found, although NHC didn’t provide details on how the man got infected with the virus.
He was eventually stable and discharged from the hospital.
Globally, no other cases of human infection with the H10N3 were previously reported.
What is H10N3?
The H10N3 is a less severe strain of the virus in poultry.
It is low pathogenic and according to NHC, the strain is not a very common virus and the risk of a large scale spreading is very low.
They occur commonly in wild birds and waterfowl in Asia, as well as some parts of Northern America.
Although none had been detected in chickens so far.
Genetic data analyses will be required to determine if the virus is a novel mix of different viruses or an older virus.
Singapore’s Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said in a statement yesterday (1 June) that the operation was a result of intelligence sharing between us, Malaysia’s NCID and the Johor police.
CNB said:
“Motivated by profit, drug traffickers and syndicates will continue to take huge gambles to smuggle illicit drugs into Singapore, and will stop at nothing to evade detection from the authorities,” said CNB.Â
“The recent arrests in both Malaysia and Singapore are a testament to the close cooperation between the drug enforcement agencies in both countries.”
About $850,000 worth of drugs were seized and 7 people arrested on 18 May.
A 54-year-old man pleaded guilty last Thursday to one count each of harassing his 45-year-old ex girlfriend and threatening to distribute her intimate photos.
He was reportedly unhappy with her and threatened to spread her n*des, trespassed into her home and using a knife to threaten her.
The parties cannot be named due to a gag order protecting the victim’s identity.
The man had taken the photos while the two were will in a romantic and sexual relationship, where he convinced her to pose naked in compromising positions for him to take pictures, which the victim consented to.
She didn’t consent to the distribution of the pictures though.
The man then threatened to distribute the photos in a text to the woman on 14 September last year.
He then armed himself with a knife 2 days later and trespassed into her home, questioning her about the alleged loans he made to her and jewellery that he allegedly passed to her about 5 years ago.
The victim knew nothing about the loans or jewellery and the two then got into an argument, with the man threatening to slash her
Another woman then stepped in and told him to stop, which he complied, and the police were called in.
The man is due to be sentenced on 5 July 2021.
