Five people have called the police more than 50 times, and various government units have been found but cannot be resolved.

The mental neighbour even used a hammer to knock on the door of the victims after peaceful mediation between the neighbour was not solve.

A man who was previously jailed for touching a guy’s but in the MRT committed the offence 5 years later and this time even worse touching a minor.

How it happen?

Chew who was working for Grabfood molested an 18-year man on August 12, 2019, in the MRT, Chew wink at the victim hoping he will get the same response but he was ignored by the victim.

He got near to the victim and started playing his butt with his hands in a circular motion. The victim alighted the next station and reported the incident to the Police

12-year-old

In March 2021, Chew followed a 12-year-old boy who just finished playing football at Tampines Hub, he asked the 12-year-old if he could perform a sex act on him.

The boy ran away and told her mother about it when he got home.

A 42-year-old, male Singaporean teacher was charged with 5 counts of molestation on 9 July.

He is being accused of molesting a boy at school multiple times between 2017 and 2018.

Identities of the parties cannot be revealed due to a gag order.

MOE said that the man had been suspended since November 2018 when the police commenced investigations against him.

The teacher allegedly touched the boy’s private parts over his shorts in late 2017, before molesting him 4 more times between March to October 2018.

The case is adjourned to 5 August.

A photo of a grab food rider getting fine was captured by a netizen.

However, many food delivery riders have complained about the difficulty to complete delivery within the grace period of the carpark.

Netizens who commented on the post said sometimes the unit to deliver might even request an exchange of visitor pass and the car parks grace periods are not enough.

Another point that is mentioned is that car park rates at Orchard road is notorious, and sometimes the delivery might even be lost. Typically a delivery rider makes between $5 to $7 dollars and the petrol is not exactly free.

Sometimes it becomes so bad that the parking rate could go from $1 to $3 for a 30min parking rate ending with the rider spending over 30 mins and making a dollar or next to nothing.

Is there something the authorities can do to help the riders, they are just trying to make a living, the pavement is wide enough for pedestrians and the bike that is already parked at the edge.

Compassion is something we need

Some netizens even belittle the job of riders but they did not realise these riders are the heroes who bring groceries and food to your home or office during the circuit breaker.
