Ang Siu Yen, 22 year old Singaporean Permanent Resident, has been given three weeks jail on Wednesday (Sep 1) for breaching her Covid-19 stay home notice after she has been told to stay home till she receives a negative swab test result.

She was diagnosed with respiratory symptoms but shortly after, went to take public transport multiple times and met her boyfriend for shopping in various malls.

The story

Ang visited Healthway Medical Clinic along Yishun Avenue 11 on Oct 24 last year as she was experiencing runny nose, cough with phlegm and a dry sore throat.

She was issued a four day MC after being diagnosed to have upper respiratory tract infection and had to go for a Covid-19 swab test and stay home till the swab results came out.

She acknowledged this but left her Yishun flat several hours later after being swabbed.

She also took public transport like buses and trains to various places like Junction Nine in Yishun, Yew Tee Point and National Library in Bugis and also mingled with her boyfriend and her friends while still on her Stay Home Notice.

Offence came to light

Ang’s swab results came back inconclusive, the doctor went to her residence to inform her but she was not home and therefore contacted her through her housemate to remind her not to leave home.

She did not bother and still continued going out the next day.

The authorities subsequently traced her movements via her EZ-link card records.

She ultimately tested negative for Covid-19 but in her sentencing, the judge said that it was irrelevant whether she was still symptomatic or not as those who have Covid-19 might also be asymptomatic.

Ang could have been given up to six months imprisonment, fined up to S$10,000 or both for breaching the Covid-19 laws in place.

A photo emerged online showing 2 cyclists lying on the ground with their bicycles in a heap.

They were seen on the ground writhing in pain as their legs were still on the pedals.

One of the cyclists had visible scratches on his right calf.

A driver spotted a bunch of “tour de France” cyclist at Punggol and not only block the traffic but also violate the “rules of 5 pax”.

Many of the tour de France monkeys think that they are above the law and continue to gather in large groups and becomes a nuisance on the road by block traffic.

They probably have low self-esteem and want to be featured in the media in order to get a sense of accomplishment, like a child purposely doing something wrong to get attention from their parents.

Let’s hope these monkeys get fined.

First-time offenders who breach safe distancing measures are fined $300.

For non-compliance with safe management measures under the COVID-19 offenders may be jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$10,000, or both.

A photo has went viral after a man was spotted not wearing a mask properly and sitting in the MRT like his uncles house.

He put his leg on the handles and relax as if he is at the beach.

Netizens said:

“His parents have done a great job bringing him up. He should be reported to SMRT and the police for appropriate actions.”

“Maybe he handicap. No backbone”

“These sort were never taught from young how to sit properly. I have seen kids being chased by domestic helpers during meal times instead of being seated at the dining tables, eventually they will grow up to be like this idiot.”

“See the leg kena scratch by pontianak already still dont want to put down”

Any of you been to Dunman Food Center lately? Today is first day of ` clear your table or else ” at hawker centers. DFC there’s only one tray reform station situated at the front.

I thought there will be sufficient stations as stated by the authorities so as not to inconvenience patrons. A bigger problem I have here is that there is a cleaner supervisor who acts like a tyrant. He shouts at patrons and acts like he is the tai kor in the hawker center, but in reality he’s the janitor.

Does he have the right to tell people off especially with such an aggressive tone? Don’t they have Sgclean ambassadors and enforcement to do that job? I believe he’s just trying to reduce his own workload so he can sit in the corner and smoke.

Why is smoking allowed in a hawker center in the first place? He makes the environment really toxic and turns customers off. I think NEA needs to reign him in.

A man with a history of criminal records worked as a safe distancing ambassador and use physical violence against two individuals which resulted in a 3 weeks jail.

40-year-old Aloysius Hoe Wei Peng and his ex-GF beat up a GrabFood deliveryman at Punggol Mall, he kicked the man in the stomach and even crushed his spectacles by stepping on it. His ex-girlfriend 33-year-old Wan Farah Shireen Abu Hassan slapped the man.

They were unhappy with the delivery man as he overtook them with his bicycle.

He was eventually jailed 3 weeks and issued a fine of SGD$800 last year.

Months later at Yishun, Hoe assaulted a pet shop manager at Yishun for not wearing a mask and was fined SGD$2,000

Aloysious was previously convicted of a drug offence and a member of a secret society.

A netizen shared a story with us of how he actually lent money to his close friend because the friend did not have enough for living expenses but kept seeing his friend live a good life on social media while he slogs it out.

Here is his story

“I have known an ex colleague who became a friend, lets just call him ‘K’ for story’s sake, for almost three years.

K is someone who to me had no drive and ambition when I first known him but because of the pandemic, he actually started maturing and improving himself.

He got together with a more career successful girlfriend during the pandemic as well.

One day K approached me to lend him $250 as he said that he was a little tight on living expenses and needed some money to make ends meet.

He said that he needed three months to pay me back as he calculated that his salary for the next two months will not be enough as he had to pay his rent etc.

Out of goodwill and as I had some extra money from working another job at that time, I agreed to lend him.

From the time when he borrowed money from me, he did not really contact me anymore and I have been seeing him on social media living a high life, eating good food and going to pubs with his girlfriend and another few loaded friends.

Side track a bit, I feel that he is trying very hard to keep up with his girlfriend’s spending capabilities and his girlfriend probably does not know he is struggling.

I asked him before to be honest with his girlfriend about his finances as they are planning to get a Condo and get married, but he say that his girlfriend knows how much he earns but he will never let her know that he needs to borrow money here and there to settle his expenses.

Even though I did not want to nit pick on his private and social life, I feel very uncomfortable seeing him lead a life as if he is very loaded when he claims that he is broke.

To me it is super unfair as I slogged to earn extra money and do not even lead a high life while he borrows money from me and acts like he has alot of money.

He tried to borrow another $150 to make it a total of $400 but I am glad that rejected him because if I lent it to him I don’t know how long it will take to get back my money.

I asked him back for my money on the third month, and he transferred me half back, saying that he has not enough and needs another month.

I had enough and told him that I urgently needed it, to test if he treats me like a friend but he simply did not even read my message or give me a blue tick and continues living his high life with his girlfriend and another few friends who simply does not mind if he owes them money etc.

Probably once he returns me my money, I am gonna cut off all contact with him.”
