A game of “Truth Or Dare” will be a nightmare if she heard of the phrase ever again. A 15-year-old girl was raped at the foot of HDB after she got drunk.

The man who committed the crime pleaded guilty earlier today (31/10/2019) for one count of rape.

The incident involved a group of males ranging from 18 to 19 years old and one 15-year-old female. The incident happened on the 17 of October 2017, One of the males in the group bought strong beers from a shop to play the “Truth or Dare” game.

Whoever fails to do the “dare” will have to drink the beer. Soon the game’s topic started to involved sex. It started out with love bites and the girl soon got drunk as she failed to do most of the dares in the game.

The boys started to discuss if they wanted to rape the drunk 15-year-old girl and take advantage of the situation. One of them bought 3 condoms from a shop nearby using the girl’s money.

As the girl was too drunk to go home, the rapist carried her to Blk 557, Pasir Rist Street 51 during the wee hours (Approximately 4 am). The girl stopped to pee at the blk and she needed to puke so she rested on the ground.

One of the males started to touch her upper body and later assaulted her further by touching her lower body. The rapist later put on a condom and raped the girl. The incident happened at the foot of the HDB.

The male could not sustain his erection and later used the victim’s mouth to continue the assault on the victim.

Although the girl was drunk, she knew what was happening to her. She was too weak to stop the rapist as she was too drunk.

Later that day, she confronted the rapist and slapped him. The rapist, claims that he did not do anything to her. Patrol police later spotted the victim crying and the full story came to light and lead to the arrest of the rapist on the same day.

The rapist, now 21-years-old, will be sentenced at a later date and could face a maximum jail penalty of 20 years and rotan.

According to a media release by the Police, an incident was reported to the Police on the 24th of October 2019 at around 10.44 am in the morning.

The reported incident is related to a loanshark harassment incident that happened at an HDB unit along Woodlands Drive 62. The perpetrator left behind splashes of paint on the front door and leave behind graffiti writing. The usual “O$P$”.

The police were able to identify the person behind the loanshark activity after ground investigations and Police CCTV. An 18-year-old was arrested, the police were able to find further information on the young man’s other loanshark activities which happened island-wide.

Anyone convicted of Loanshark harassment can face up to 5-years-old of jail and up to 6 strokes of the rotan.

Saw this from a fdw fb group and hope this can reach out to the boy’s parents. Friends please help to share.

This happened at the busstop outside Greenwich mall at about 630pm yesterday. Helper was furious at this 6 yr old boy because he wasnt listening to her. Could tell that he was not easy to manage but how the helper responded was appalling.

She shouted over and over again

‘I will go home and leave you all alone’, ‘I am the only one stay your house so long, all the aunties left your house’, ‘no one likes you, even your teachers dont like you’, ‘I make sure daddy go home and cane you’

The boy started crying and begged her not to leave him alone. The helper then stood very far away from the boy and kept shouting at him these same things. The boy kept begging her. I walked over after cannot tahan her loud shouting at the boy and these abandonment statements and told her to stop shouting and speak to her employer if she is having a tough time.

Told her that I would try and reach out to her employer and that what she is doing is not acceptable. She was quiet for awhile and then started shouting loudly at the boy again.

She then called someone and spoke in Indonesian loudly complaining over the phone. The boy seemed scared, embarrassed, angry, and teary. By this time my bus came and she too boarded the bus 50 back to sengkang with the boy.

Poor boy seriously needs help. Helper does too i am sure. I will post her picture in the comments section in hopes of reaching out to the employer. I am apprehensive to post it as #badfdw because I am sure there is more to it but hope this attempt might be helpful for this boy especially
