According to the media release, a part-time helper was caught red-handed for stealing money from her employer on multiple occasions. The incident happened at Block 459 Yishun Avenue 11.

According to the employer, they had engaged a woman for her service through an advertisement posted in the lift of their block. They were charged $80 for 4 hours of her service to clean their apartment.

However, the employer noticed that they start losing money after they have engaged the woman for her service. In the beginning, the employer thought that they might have misplaced the money. As time goes by the situation became worse and more money goes missing. The employer begins to suspect the helper for stealing and decided to set up a trap to catch her.

On 22 May 2020, the employer had prepared a total of $800 in a different denomination and place it in his handbag in his room when the helper is around. All the money was marked beforehand. Just before the helper left for the day, the employer went to check on the money and noticed that $400 was stolen. The helper admits of stealing the money after the confrontation.

As of 26 May 2020, 12 pm, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has preliminarily confirmed an additional 383 cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore

The vast majority of whom are Work Permit holders residing in foreign worker dormitories. There is one Singaporean/ Permanent Resident case.

The lower number of cases today is partly due to fewer tests being conducted.  

MOH is still working through the details of the cases, and further updates will be shared via the MOH press release that will be issued tonight. 

A woman believed to be a foreign talent/worker wrote a post in her Facebook stating why Singaporeans are only allowed to visit their families but this is not applicable to foreigners.

She said that as a foreigner in Singapore she should be given the same treatment and she should be able to visit her friends. She further stated that the reason why she should be allowed to visit her friends is due to the fact that she does not have any family in Singapore.

A video has been circulating on “Reckless Driver.SG” Facebook page, showing an accident between two cars. The accident most probably happened when the white car tried to overtake the silver car by cutting into his lane without checking his blindspot.

The car is observed to have been tilted to the right. Traffic police was spotted at the scene as well. The accident happened along Gambas Avenue near Yishun Ave 7.

A CCTV footage of two HDB residents, presumably to be neighbours, were seen quarrelling over the man’s pet bird. It was uploaded yesterday night(May 25) to “SG-Share Together” Facebook Page.

In the beginning, they quarrelled over the bird, but things escalated and the auntie started to shout racial slurs at the man. The man questioned the auntie on what she meant on her racial insult and another lady came out from the man’s unit and joined in the dispute. Both parties started to hurl vulgarities at each other.

As Singapore is a multi-racial country, racism and xenophobia should not be happening in our country. We should always believe that racial cohesion is possible between neighbours and practice love instead of hate.
