A netizen shared a story of reconsidering her boyfriend after realising that he has health issues. Well, Let’s look at marriages vows:
“I, _____, take you, _____, for my lawful wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. I will love and honor you all the days of my life.”
The girl probably will never be happy if she don’t understands in “in sickness and in health”.
Here is the story:
Hi all, I am writing to seek for genuine advices. Would appreciate if you do not judge and reply in a nice manner. I have been single for the longest time ( previous relationships were short-lived and had been dating with potential suiters that didn’t have mutual feelings).
I am the kind who “falls in love too deep, too fast” and am always the one who “woo” guys. Would linger for a while (like stay and hang out as friends with them) even after being rejected due them “not ready for a relationship”. I was often heartbroken after they eventually got into a relationship.
This happened twice and I finally realised that guys will always be “not ready” for the one they have no interest in. I learned my lesson to “cut off” in a hard way. Long story short, I finally met a guy who treats me well and embraced my imperfections. However, am writing to seek for advices if I should carry on knowing that he has serious health concerns.
I have feelings for him but my mum keeps asking me to reconsider our relationship and said that I will “suffer” in future if I eventually want to settle down with him (like, our offsprings might have poor genes/ he might pass on early etc…).

During his speech, he touched on many topics, including the recent spate of racist incidents and the racial harmony in Singapore.
He said that several racist incidents have gained wide publicity and “amplified by social media”, but they are “not the norm.”
He said that the negative incidences do not mean that Singapore’s racial harmony is failing.
He said:
“It is helpful to air and acknowledge these sensitive issues. We need to do this candidly and respectfully.
It took several generations of sustained effort to bring our races and religions together, and grow the common space that we now share.”
He added that Singapore’s racial and religious harmony was borne out of the “fruit of mutual understanding and compromise by all parties”, and not by “every group stridently insisting on its identity and rights”.
He added:
“Our social norms evolve with each successive generation, shaped by different life experiences and aspirations. These norms are also influenced by external trends, because we are so open and connected to the rest of the world.”
Finally, he further added that the racial harmony in Singapore needs to be “refreshed, reaffirmed and reinforced” with every new generation, he said:
“We must not lightly give up this hard-won and delicate balance. As our society evolves, we have to continually adjust this balance to maintain our social harmony.
It is the government’s duty to manage these issues on behalf of all Singaporeans, regardless of race, language or religion. To do this, we will need your cooperation, support and trust.”

He urged people to be wary of fake news and shared that he is working with lawyers to set the records straight.

A group of YPs were captured on CCTV stealing slippers from a low-income family at Block 499C Tampines Avenue 9 on 31 July.
Their actions drew the ire of Tampines GRC MP Baey Yam Keng, who highlighted that the block is a rental block, and that the YPs were possible adding to the “unnecessary financial burden” of the family.
He said that “this is not funny”.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the homeowner is a 47-year-old delivery driver, who noticed his slippers and sandals missing when he was leaving his home for work that morning.
Before that incident, his family had their footwear stolen at least 10 times, including school shoes for his children, who sometimes had to wear slippers to school or skip the day as a result.
He then made a police report.
Baey shared an update about the incident on 3 August, that the identities of the 5 YPs were established.
According to Lianhe Wanbao earlier today, the older brother of two of the boys involved, brought the whole group down on 1 August to the homeowner’s flat to apologise in person.
They said that they were “feeling bored” at the time and decided to prank the family.
A 64-year-old woman passed away on the same day after getting her first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, and her daughter took to Facebook to share the alleged discrepancies surrounding her death.
She highlighted that her late mother has been leading an active life and apart from having controlled hypertension and mild diabetes, she is mostly healthy.
She asked what could have happened during the vaccination that “robbed her of her life?”
She further questioned: “Was it just pure coincidence that she has to return to Jesus on the day where she received her first dose of vaccination?”
The 64-year-old woman allegedly collapsed 8 hours after taking the vaccine sometime in July.
Her daughter revealed that she used to be an advocate for the vaccination and even helped to debunk rumours that the vaccine was not safe.
MOH responds
According to Mothership, MOH said that they were made aware of her death by Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.
They revealed that she was assessed to be suitable for the jab, and received her Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty vaccine on that very day.
She was observed to be well during the 30-minutes post vaccination observation.
MOH added that her certified cause of death is hypertensive heart disease and coronary artery disease, according to findings from the autopsy; which is consistent with the woman’s medical history.
They said that about a thousand strokes and heart attacks are seen in public hospitals monthly, and that coincidental strokes and heart attacks are bound to occur because of the country’s vaccination in huge numbers.
MOH reiterated their desire to help the family through the healthcare system.
