According to a media release, a primary school girl was about to have PSLE exams and her family hired a 43-year-old tuition teacher to help her with her exams. But instead of just tuition on her school work, he raped her three times.
Earlier today(05 Feb 2020), The man was sentenced to 10 years 10 months Jail and 12 strokes of the Rotan.
The incident happened back in 2017, the tuition teacher get to know the girl in a mathematics tuition class in a tuition centre, she was still a primary 5 student then, by April 2018 she became the 43-year-old’s girlfriend.
They started hanging out and have meals together and visited shopping malls.
When the girl was primary 6, the girl recommends her 43-year-old boyfriend as a private tutor to her parents. At that point of the time, their relationship remains a secret.
Somewhere in May 2018, he took the girl to a shopping mall in Woodlands and perform indecent acts in a public handicapped toilet.
Months later, they had sex at a handicapped toilet at Bukit Panjang Mall, one week later they had sex at the girl’s home and also another encounter in the month.
How the parents found out?
The girl was on a holiday trip with her family when the mother noticed that she was busy texting on the phone.
Her parents took the phone from her and found out about the relationship she had with her teacher.
A Facebook post that was published by NUS whisper has infuriated Facebook users for a woman’s irresponsible behaviour. The thread starter claims that he knows of a friend’s mother who refuses to visit the doctor despite having symptoms.
A friend of mine was very frustrated and told me how his mom refused to see the doctor, after apparently developing a cough and flu last night. She did not travel overseas for the past few months, but she is working at a pharmaceutical store and admitted that there are quite a number of customers from China that visited her store from time to time.
As you guys know, Singapore just reported her first case of human to human transmission to a local citizen who was working at a TCM store and interacted with many customers from Wuhan. The possibility of such an indirect transmission has been proven.
My friend told her to go and see a doctor just in case. He even offered to take urgent leave to accompany her to the doctor. However, his mom refuses to see a doctor and kept insisting and consoling him that it is not the virus. She has a habit of not visiting the doctor (like all Asian boomers, I guess) but in this current situation, I think such habits should be dismissed. It is the very fact that she knows there is a possibility of her having the virus that scares her from going to the doctor.
When he asked her why she is so afraid, she just ignored his question. Telling her that her actions are irresponsible and may cause more chain infections to seem to have not deterred her as well.
To the young people out there who has family members of such boomer mindset, I urge you to be aware of their health and to the best of your ability, encourage them to see the doctor. This is not the time for anyone to be selfish and pretend to play doctor to self-heal. One person’s actions may cause catastrophic consequences and result in many other people getting infected as well.
TLDR: Mom refused to see a doctor despite showing symptoms due to boomer mindset.
Researchers have confirmed that the Wuhan Corona Virus can be transmitted through surfaces from a person that is infected with the virus.
China Diseases Control and Prevention Center found that the Coronavirus was found on a door handle in the home of an infected patient. The Chinese media also stated that the virus can survive on surfaces for several hours.
There have been local media reports(Not Us) stating there is no reason to avoid places of those that have been infected. More research should have been done before releasing such information to the public.
So avoid or no need to avoid the places? It’s better to be safe than sorry.
An example would be, a person with Corona Virus sneeze or cough while covering the mouth with the palm and followed by opening a door, turning the lights on or pressing a button in the lift.
How to fight?
Researchers state that the way to fight is by washing hands and staying away from people that are sick.
Believe it or not, regular hand washing can reduce the risk of getting sick.
