Man Molests & Assaults Female Escort On Paid Date, Police Unhelpful

Dear Editors,

The man in the photo Wong Hxxx Mxxx is married with a wife but has girlfriends and sugar babes. He asked girl in the photo out on a paid date. On the date, girl refuses his sexual advances, he molested her by removing her bra strap and pinching her nipples in locked car. But refused to pay her for date fee agreed upfront.

He locked her in his car and drove to the nearby police station. When she stepped out of the car, he pinned her down to the ground and attacked her. Her limbs were bruised and face bleeding. He later ask to mediate by compensating her in return for not pressing charges. But after she signed on the “agreement” paper, he coined excuses such as no bank token, has daily withdrawal limit, phone no SIM card etc to not stick to the terms of agreement.

I’m the friend of this girl. Pls publicise this so there won’t be any victims cheated by this guy anymore ! Best thing is, police actually advice the girl to mediate and settle with Wong, so they won’t have to take statements and send for IO.

More work done, and before anyone realises , all three police officers are off duty before they check if the mediation is carried out dutifully.

In the end, guy took Advantage of the situation. He made the victim sign an agreement letter not to press charges, then find some excuse to go home to take bank token and of course, never stick to his part of the agreement on compensation. Please publicise such a scammer!

Beware Of Mobile Phone Re-Constract Scam, I Ended Up WIth $15,000 Debt

<Complaint by nakedtons>

I got a phone call from an ex-colleague who first told me about earning commission by signing phone contracts. He referred me to another victim who got the mastermind scammer to contact me.

The scammer told me that to earn commission, I had to sign phone contracts and passed the phones to him and he will get a third party to cancel the contracts in office. I trusted him and by sheer desperation after losing my job, I agreed and went with him to sign 2 contracts with Singtel, 2 from Starhub and 1 from m1 with max plans with the phones coming in for free. It is a total of 5 contracts amounting to about $1000 a month with about $3000 for early termination fee for each contract I signed. All were iPhone 6s Plus 128 gb Rose Gold which he took to sell. He gave me $200 as commission for each phone I signed.

This fella assured me he will get them canceled for me and told me to wait 5 working days to process. I managed to stay in contact with him during that period but after 5 working days, the contracts are still not canceled. Only then I had a feeling that I had been scammed but that scammer had disappeared out of reach. I am now left with massive contract debts which i cannot afford to pay. I then started contacting the ex-colleague who introduced me to this offer only then I confirmed it is a scam as he told me I am not the only person who complained to him. Many victims already did. He told me to make a police report otherwise more victims will fall into the scam as well.

I had thought about making a police report but my father advised against it. He told me if I do so, I will be charged by the law and go to prison as well for collaborating with him. He told me to just ‘sucked it up’ and pay the massive bills which i surely can’t afford. I am at no wits’ end and even contemplating ending my life! What is the best I should do to get it resolve?

Bangladeshi Foreign Worker Who Instigated Robbery In Little India Sentenced To Cane And Jail

A Bangladeshi who instigated others to rob a compatriot of $75,000 in Little India almost two years ago was sentenced to the minimum three years’ jail and 12 strokes of the cane on Monday .

Sree Krishna Mondal Omar Chan Mondal, 44, the eighth and last man to be dealt with in the case, admitted to abetting Sathasivam Balakrishnan, 28, to rob construction worker Md Rashel Md Sorpan, 25, with at least two others in November 2013.

Mr Md Rashel was robbed of his laptop bag containing cash of $75,000 and other items along Serangoon Road by Sathasivam and six others at about 9.30pm on Nov 17 that year. The six are brothers Rubenkumar Lakshmanan, 22, his 25-year-old brother Sathya Kumar, Rajkamal Selvanathan, 26,Dinesh Kumar, 25, Mano Ranjan Rajendran, 22, and Vishnunad Bhaguan, 24, all Singaporeans.

A district court heard that Sree Krishna had asked Sathasivam three days earlier if he was keen to commit robbery. He said the target would be collecting money in the Tekka area and carrying more than $50,000.

Sree Krishna also told Sathasivam to bring at least two other persons along and to meet him at the open field beside Anguillia Mosque on Serangoon Road on Nov 17.

Sathasivam took Mano and Vishvunad to meet Sree Krishna at the latter’s house that evening. The four then went to the open field along Serangoon Road where Sree Krishna pointed out Mr Md Rashel, who was then with his uncle and cousin and surrounded by many other Bangladeshi workers.

Meanwhile, Rubenkumar and three others were nearby looking for a potential victim to rob when he learnt about the trio’s plan and decided to join them and share the money equally.

At about 9.30pm the robbers saw Mr Md Rashel, his uncle and cousin walking towards the traffic junction. Sathya came from behind and punched the victim, who fell. All the accomplices then tried to kick and punch Mr Md Rashel and his witnesses. Sensing that something was wrong, the victim fled with the laptop bag, chased by the robbers.

When Mr Md Rashel fell on the pavement on the opposite side of the road, Sathya, Rubenkumar and Dinesh caught up with him and began assaulting the victim. Rubenkumar snatched the black laptop bag with cash and other items inside.

Rubenkumar took part of the bundle of cash and boarded a bus. He was later arrested. Cash of $5,243 was eventually recovered.

The accomplices have each been sentenced to between three years and 41/2 years’ jail plus caning.

Family Escapes Fire Seconds Before Blast At Bukit Batok Flat

He was hungry after his night shift and wanted to eat some fries.

After leaving a pan of oil to heat on the stove the man, who wanted to be known only as Mr Ali, stepped out of the kitchen and went to the living room to rest.

The civil servant in his mid 20s dozed off and the next thing he knew, his stove was on fire.

After his attempts to put out the growing fire failed, Mr Ali and his family fled the Bukit Batok HDB flat.

Seconds later, they heard what sounded like a gas cylinder exploding.

The fire happened just before 11.20am yesterday at Block 350, Bukit Batok Street 32.

Twenty-seven other residents living on the first to fourth floors of the block were also evacuated.

A man in his 20s was found with minor burn injuries but declined to be taken to hospital, said a spokesman for the Singapore Civil Defence Force.

Singaporean Helps Fight Indonesian Fires With Solutions

Many Singaporeans have taken to donning masks or staying indoors as the Pollutant Standards Index climbs to unhealthy levels.

But not Mr Judah Jay, 60.

Instead, he headed straight for the forest fires in Jambi, a province in Sumatra, to help firefighters put out the blaze that has been causing the haze.

The Singaporean owner of a company that manufacturers eco-friendly fire extinguishers also donated about 1,000 litres of a special fire-fighting solution to the Indonesian firefighters.

When asked why he chose to help Indonesia fight the fires for free, Mr Jay said he felt a sense of responsibility.

“It’s like I am a doctor and I see someone getting hit by a car. I won’t ask if he can pay me, I would help him immediately.

“In the same way, I have all this knowledge and resources, and it is my duty to help people who need it.”

The managing director of Fire Terminator International (FTI) and his team arrived in Indonesia three months ago to market a product called JN1010, a fire-fighting solution that not only extinguishes blazes, but also rapidly cools surfaces, removes oxygen, and stops combustible gases from igniting so that the fire does not start again.

Plans to meet potential clients were cut short two months in, after Mr Jay realised the severity of the haze and forest fires.  He then shifted his focus to helping the Indonesians deal with the fires, instead.

He said: “I knew that this was beyond earning money. People there needed help, and I had the means to help them.”

For four weeks, he donned fire-fighting gear and battled the fires shoulder-to-shoulder with others in Jambi, working day and night to extinguish the blaze.

Recounting his time there, Mr Jay said: “The heat from the fires was intense. Visibility was so bad that I could not see who was beside me. It was terrible.”

Although he shipped 1,000 litres of JN1010 for the fire fighting efforts, it took less than a month to use it up.

“Even though the firefighters were so busy and tired, they gave their all and kept on fighting, so I gave them what I could too,” Mr Jay said.

MEDIA ATTENTION

His efforts caught the attention of Indonesian media, with TV network TVRI interviewing Mr Jay and showing him putting out fires during a news clip.

He returned to Singapore about a week ago to attend the Fire and Disaster Asia 2015 exhibition, which was held at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre.

When The New Paper spoke to Mr Jay at the exhibition last Thursday, he said that he was raring to return to Indonesia to help again.

“We only brought 10 per cent of our  supply that time. When I go back in three or four days, I am prepared to bring the remaining 9,000 litres to help fight the fires,” he said.

Mr Jay added that he would be heading to Kalimantan, in Borneo, this time, and would stay there for as long as he could.

His wife, Mrs Davina Jay, who is the director for FTI, will stay in Singapore to look after the business while her husband is in Indonesia.

She said: “I have confidence that he will exercise due caution there.

“He has been blessed with wisdom and know-how to help minimise human suffering. It must be shared for a good cause”.

10 firms declare no links to those causing fires in Indonesia

Ten companies which manufacture paper products sold in Singapore have pledged that they do not use raw materials from the five Indonesian firms believed to be responsible for the ongoing forest fires.

A joint press release by the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) and the Consumers Association of Singapore (Case) yesterday said that all 10 firms, which are certified under the Singapore Green Labelling Scheme (SGLS), have signed declarations forms.

SEC and Case also revealed that they were awaiting declaration forms from seven other third-party manufacturers.

The list of all the companies which have signed will be updated regularly on both agencies’ websites.

SEC is also encouraging other paper companies which have not participated in the SGLS to contact it for certification.

However, certified firms which are found purchasing wood, paper or pulp products from companies suspected to be involved in the haze pollution are bound by the declaration to inform SEC. They will then be removed from the list.

STRONG SIGNAL

Meanwhile, Case has issued a reminder urging consumers not to support companies using such products unless they have pledged to be socially responsible.

“This will send a strong signal to the errant companies that consumers’ goodwill should not be taken for granted and consumers will not support companies which are environmentally irresponsible and/or have contributed to the environmental disaster year after year,” it added.

Last month, Singapore started legal action against five companies which it believes are among the culprits behind Indonesia’s pollution-causing fires. Four are Indonesian companies which have been told to take measures to extinguish fires on their land, not to start new ones and submit action plans on how they will prevent future fires.

The fifth one is Singapore-listed firm Asia Pulp and Paper. It has been served a legal notice to supply information on its subsidiaries in Singapore and Indonesia, as well as measures taken by its suppliers in Indonesia to put out fires on their concessions. – The Straits Times.
