30 Y.O MAN MOLESTED 14 Y.O GIRL, JAILED 10 MONTHS

Xavier Lee Wei Jie, 30-years-old, pleaded guilty to one count of outrage of modesty of a 14-year-old girl and was sentenced on 15 November to 10 months imprisonment.

Lee is a recalcitrant offender who was previously jailed for s*xual offences against minors.

He was previously jailed for a year in 2015 for engaging in s*xual acts with a 12-year-old girl, before reoffending in 2019 after his prison release and jailed again.

His latest offense represents his third time in jail for offences of the same nature.

What did he do this time?

He met his latest victim via one of the girl’s friends and was fully aware of their age.

He communicated with her on Instagram and on 30 July, he requested a meetup at a playground near Block 283 Bukit Batok East Avenue 3.

The victim was in her school uniform with her friend when they met the man at around 4pm.

They sat with him and he then pinched her cheek and touched her chin, telling her that she would soon get raped.

He then stood up and went behind the girl, touching her hair and cheeks as the girl pushed his hand away.

The girl was uncomfortable with what he just said because she was aware of his criminal past.

Lee then brushed the girl’s chest with his hand and asked her to perform s*xual acts on him, as well as asking her to follow him to his home or to a staircase nearby.

The victim refused and they then left at around 5pm.

The victim then texted him later that evening and told him that she was uncomfortable with his actions, to which Lee said that he wouldn’t do anything from then on.

He asked her to be his girlfriend, wanting to “take responsibility” and told her that he loved her.

The girl then told her mother about the incident and they filed a police report the next day.

EXPAT CALLS $25K MONTHLY SALARY “MID LEVEL”, NETIZENS ANGRY

An expat shared about the animosity directed at them by locals before boasting of a monthly income of about $20k to $25k.

However, he then went on to describe the salary as mid-level, which drew the ire of netizens who called him out.

Here is what the expat had to say:

“Disclaimer: This post is not targeted at causing any racial tension or calling out either Singaporeans or Expats.

A little about me: I am an expat living in Singapore for just over 4 years in my early 30’s with my spouse and young child (also expats).

Both of us work in Tech at relatively mid-level jobs bringing in about 20-25k total a month.

We believe we live fairly modest lives, came from very average families and very average education.

Context: Of late, it feels like there is a lot of disdain and hate targeted at expats.

While these feelings have always been there and we have faced them, it’s never been as open and blatant as it is currently is.

Question: Do Singaporeans really feel threatened by expats that they will take your jobs, or are more preferred in the workforce?”

Editor’s note: $20k to $25k mid-level? What are you working as? Iron-Man?

39 Y.O M’SIAN MAN SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING

Munusamy Ramarmurth, was sentenced to death for drug trafficking after being found with a bag of drugs along Harbourfront Avenue in his parked motorcycle.

He was convicted on 10 November by the High Court of being in possession of 6.3kg of a granular substance.

The substance was found to have contained 57.54 grams of heroin following an analysis, which is more than the 15g required for a death sentence to be passed.

Judge explains her decision

Justice Audrey Lim explained her decision to convict Munusamy, saying that she didn’t believe his story that he thought the bag contained a bunch of mobile phones that were stolen.

She also didn’t believe his claim that he allowed the bag to be stored in his motorcycle box temporarily for another man to collect.

What happened?

Munusamy was arrested on 26 January 2018 at Harbourfront Centre Tower 2, inside the cleaners’ room.

He was brought to his motorcycle parked at Keppel Bay Tower and they found a red plastic bag that contained bundles of drugs in his rear box.

Improper conduct of investigation officer

In her written grounds, Justice Lim also called the conduct of Investigation Officer Derek Wong “inappropriate and unacceptable” with the latter prompting a witness who was on the stand during the trial.

She said:

“Attempting to prompt a witness who is testifying, even on a point which may turn out to be immaterial or inconsequential, is improper and unbefitting of an enforcement officer.”

Wong had twice signaled to Sergeant Mohammad Nasrulhaq, picking up a field diary to show it to the latter when he was being asked questions relating to the handover of a duffel bag.

Nasrulhaq was being asked what “heroin” refers to, to which Wong then mouthed the word “diamorphine” to him.
