AMOS YEE REMANDED BY US COURT FOR CHILD P*RN, “ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY” REVIEW

Infamous Singaporean Amos Yee, who has been remanded in the US under child pornography charges, appeared before a court in Chicago earlier today (8 May) dressed in an orange jumpsuit and a face mask for a review in his case because of an “additional discovery”.

Yee, 22-years-old, pleaded not guilty to all his charges in November last year.

His public defender, Ali Ammoura, a lawyer who is employed by the state in a criminal trial to represent a defendant who is unable to afford legal assistance, said that he needed to visit Yee in remand to discuss some matters.

Ammoura said: “We did get an additional discovery that I was able to review and I need to go over that with Mr Yee. But I do believe we will likely have a disposition to this matter.”

Yee is due to return to court again on 2 June, expecting a disposition (where the court’s final determination in a criminal charge is given).

WOMAN WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE ALLOWED TO ENTER SHOPPING MALL

Image source: Screenshot of YouTube video by SHOUT

Social Experiment

A social experiment conducted by SHOUT, tried to ascertain the possibility of entering a shopping mall with a high temperature.

A girl intentionally raised her temperature as part of the experiment, by placing heat packs on her forehead.

She then tried to enter a shopping mall, and was allowed to go through, despite her temperature presenting a reading of 37.7°C at the entrance’s temperature scanner – She was let in by the temperature screen staff despite the scanner emitting an alarm to indicate a high temperature.

TikTok more important

The SHOUT team then continued their experiment at other malls, where the staffs were seen visibly distracted at the temperature screening booths, with one of them even watching TikTok videos on his phone as people waded through the entrance.

The girl then tried to enter another mall, with a “high temperature” of over 40°C, and she was still allowed entry despite the alarm going off.

Not all screeners are apathetic

However, not all the malls were as lax as the previous ones, with one security guard at an unspecified mall, following protocol and denying her entry, telling her to wait by the side for a while.

SHOUT has since come out and clarified that the video was filmed during the early onset of the pandemic and isn’t current.

SPA WITH MANY CHIOBU XMMS, FINED FOR NOT INFORMING POLICE OF COVID-19 CASE

The police said that a massage outlet at Holland Drive had been issued a notice of composition, which requires a payment, like a fine.

This was because the establishment had failed to inform the police that one of their staff members had tested positive for Covid-19.

The afflicted staff member was reported as positive on 1 May, but the Police Licensing and Regulatory Department (PLRD) were reportedly not informed about it.

Although the police stopped short of identifying the spa, the MOH previously reported a 22-year-old female Malaysian who worked as a “spa therapist” at Spa 9 at 41 Holland Drive, had tested positive for the coronavirus.

The police reiterated that if any staff or customers at massage establishments tests positive for the virus, their operators must stop operations immediately and inform PLRD.

Failing to do so will be an offence under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act.

He summed up his post with a heartfelt message to the staff of TTSH, asking them not to lose heart, and that Singapore is with them.

S’PORE PASSPORT VALIDITY TO BE INCREASED FROM 5 TO 10 YEARS

The ICA said that the validity period of Singapore passports will be increased from 5 years to 10 years for all citizens aged 16 and above.

ICA said that this is to reduce the frequency ot passport renewals and provide greater convenience to Singaporeans.

However, the passport application fee will still remain at $70.

Persons under the age of 16 will still have their passports valid for 5 years, this is to allow photographs to be updated more often, as children’s facial features change at a faster rate.

Singapore’s passports were previously valid for 10 years but reduced to 5 years after the introduction of the biometric passport, which contains embedded microchips containing the holder’s facial and fingerprint identifiers.
