  • Watch Out! Someone Hacked My DBS Debit Card And Used It Overseas

    Watch Out! Someone Hacked My DBS Debit Card And Used It Overseas

    Dear ASS Editors,

    These few days someone else unknown kept using my debit card to purchase online games. I suspected someone had hacked into my Debit card account.

    So now it seems that this case was really serious to get reported on newspaper. As the amount being embezzled illegally from my debit card kept on balling and now already balled to sum of SGD 400plus dollars. And all transactions are in Euro and USD.

    And I am not guaranteed that this transaction will be stopped yet as the DBS bank just blocked my card on 14 Oct. The current transaction were dated on 11 Oct as some only to passed thru on these few days. So I really worried that there are still transactions will be balled again btw 12 to 13 Oct.

    I also reported to police. I also spent these few days kept checking my bank account thru ibanking worrying that there are somemore new transactions coming in. Kept calling the bank too. As this dispute had much amount to investigate according to bank, they need 14 to 21 days in order to get back my returns.

  • Woman Climbed Out Of Window And Fell, To Hide From Abusive Boyfriend

    Woman Climbed Out Of Window And Fell, To Hide From Abusive Boyfriend

    She was so afraid of her abusive boyfriend that she risked her life to hide from him.

    Madam Zahirah Mohamed Sultan, 40, climbed out of a kitchen window of her fourth storey flat of Block 182 Rivervale Crescent in Sengkang at around midnight on March 7.

    Her boyfriend, 34-year-old Muhammad Shaiful Hassan, had become enraged. She saw the window as her only means of escape.

    While trying to lower herself to her third-floor neighbour’s parapet, Madam Zahirah slipped and fell to the ground.

    Fortunately, she survived, with fractures to her left arm and leg.

    Instead of helping,  Shaiful, a 34-year-old trailer driver, went to the ground floor to scold her before leaving the scene.

    He was jailed for 20 months and two weeks yesterday (Oct 19) after he was convicted of two drug-related charges, and one count each of housebreaking at night, committing a rash act, and an offence under the Bankruptcy Act — failure to submit to the official assignee a statement of affairs.

    Madam Zahirah, who has two young sons, told The New Paper: “I was attracted to his caring ways. He was caring and responsible, unlike my ex-husband. He got along with my boys and they adored him.

    “But I found out that he was very possessive and got jealous easily.”

    Declining to reveal any details, she claimed that Shaiful had beaten her up in the past.

    Neighbours TNP spoke to said that they used to hear the couple quarrelling almost every day.

    At around midnight on March 7, Shaiful drove his prime mover to Madam Zahirah’s block, picked up a metal rod and marched up to her flat to look for her.

    She and her two boys were about to go to bed when he started banging on the front door. Out of fear, she decided not to let him in.

    Panicking, she climbed out of her kitchen window to hide from him.

    When no one opened the door, a furious Shaiful used the metal rod to smash a window that was facing the common corridor and climbed into the flat.

  • Drug Abusers Dumped Friend’s Body At Staircase Landing

    Drug Abusers Dumped Friend’s Body At Staircase Landing

    He died suddenly while in the company of two friends.

    But the friends did not alert the authorities about his death as they were both wanted by the Central Narcotics Bureau.

    Instead, Karim Arshad, 42, and Juwita Mohd Yusof, 36, unceremoniously dumped Mr Ramdan Ishak’s body at a staircase landing between the sixth and seventh storeys of Block 4, Dover Road.

    That was June 3.

    Yesterday, Karim was jailed for eight years and four months and ordered to receive six strokes of the cane yesterday after pleading guilty to one count each of drug consumption and dishonestly misappropriating Mr Ramdan’s property.

    Juwita pleaded guilty to two counts of failing to report for a urine test and one count of misappropriating Mr Ramdan’s property. She will be sentenced on Oct 30.

    On June 2, Mr Ramdan, 37, Juwita and Karim went to Block 4, Dover Road, to console their friend, Madam Ratnawati Samad, 38, whose husband had been arrested for drug activities.

    They decided to stay overnight in her flat. In the wee hours of the next morning, Mr Ramdan went to the bathroom and remained inside for a long time.

    When Karim went to check on him, he was sitting on a toilet bowl, seemingly asleep. He appeared weak when Karim tried to wake him up.

    As Karim was helping Mr Ramdan out of the bathroom, he spotted a syringe in the back pocket of his friend’s trousers.

    He asked Mr Ramdan about it but the latter did not reply. Karim threw the syringe away.

    In the morning, they woke to find Mr Ramdan was not breathing.

    Before carrying the body to the staircase landing, they helped themselves to Mr Ramdan’s personal belongings.

  • 3 Dangerous Assumptions About Being A Singaporean

    3 Dangerous Assumptions About Being A Singaporean

    If you are a Singaporean born and bred in Singapore, you may have been inculcated with “Singapore values” during your growing up that distinguish you from new citizens or basically anyone not brought up in Singapore. These values however have wrongly impressed upon Singaporeans and have caused severe consequences. Here are 3 dangerous assumptions about being a Singaporean:

    1. “Singapore is a nanny state, it will take care of me”
    This is a dangerous, if not the most dangerous, assumption many Singaporeans fell victim in life. Although the secondary textbooks taught us about sacrificing our freedom and rights for “pragmatic progress”, the Singapore government is anything but a nanny state.Impressionable young students are the first generation of victims believing in the government’s gospel that “every school is a good school”. Going to ITEs and Polytechnics sounds awesome, until you see your pay cheque and the jobs you (don’t) qualify. The truth is that the Singapore government’s population strategy contradicts with the growth of local graduates. Having too many Singaporeans who are well-educated will have them leaving for greener pastures in droves or making “sophisticated” demands like freedom and democracy. It is no coincidence that an articulated person with a critical mind knows how to word his demands and point out that his problems are encircled by the lack of freedom and democracy. The middle aged who once believe that you will never go hungry in Singapore now join the tens of thousands under-employed as taxi drivers, cleaners and security guards. The elderly who once believed in the CPF are now working into their 70s and never get to see their retirement. These Singaporeans are sure well taken care of.

    2.“Singapore is an equal society”
    Being an unequal society in income gap with a very high GINI coefficients may not be enough to prove equality doesn’t exist in Singapore. Many Singaporeans are one of the densest breed who could tell you Singapore is a very equal society despite facing a wall of inequality. Never mind that new citizens are exempted NS. Never mind that foreigners get equal job opportunities either. Never mind that the government leaders are the most well-paid in the world. Never mind equality but we are still equal, so they say. Some, especially from the majority Chinese race, can tell you there is equality because there is no racism.If you believe in equality, Singapore is going to break your heart.

    3. “Singapore is a safe country”
    Low crime rate, they say. So why the climate of fear in a “safe” country? There is this saying in Singapore: “there is no gangsters in Singapore because the biggest gangster is PAP”.Singaporeans live in fear of offending the ruling party in this “safe” country. Standing up for what is right will land you in bankruptcy if you are lucky, while the unlucky ones get slapped with Sedition Charge and Internal Security Act facing detention without trial.You can’t do this, you can’t do that, you can’t do a lot of things in this “safe” country. The extensive rules and limitless power of the authority is the noose around their neck. Singaporeans live in fear of becoming an ex-convict in this society which doesn’t offer second chance, with the exception of a famous local restaurant that hires ex-convicts as chefs.

  • Singapore Citizen Cheated Of Money By Company Set Up By Young PAP Member

    Singapore Citizen Cheated Of Money By Company Set Up By Young PAP Member

    To Whom It May Concern,

    Thank you for your emails even as the various other agencies (MAS, ACRA and SPF) have been passing on this buck one to another.

    For the record, my friends and I were approached by 2 individuals, Mr Chan Wai Meng and MK Chin of Boss Singapore Pte Ltd and Cuffz Holdings Pte Ltd respectively on 12 May 2012 to contract a fix deposit with them for a maturity term of 3 years.

    Hence, we headed down to their offices at then 52 Boat Quay and were given assurances by the companies that Mr MK Chin and Chan Wai Meng were their staffs and that proper licensing was being obtained by a Mr Harold Fook who is an assistant director of MAS and the chairman of some government internet regulatory in addition to hailing from Young PAP.

    All these were being conveyed to us at the point of our contracting.

    But in March last year, we were informed by fellow victims that the companies have absconded with our monies to reopen new branches in Indonesia and Philippines.

    When we went to see Mr MK Chin and Wai Meng to give us an explanation, they told us that our monies were already “burned” by then and further challenged us to make police reports as they charged that loopholes in the current system protects their business interest and prevents any guilt from being administered on them.

    As it goes, it turned out to be so with Mr Pritam Singh informing me at his MPS that CAD had informed his office they will be closing this case with no further updates, accountability or transparency throughout the process.

    I also do not dream Mr Victor Lye who promised he will help me during the course of hustings but disappeared soon after as I cannot expect those who scratch each other back to be “checkmating” themselves too.

    The only recourse according to my MP, is to go the legal route.

    As it is more often than not a draconian and lengthy process coupled with my entire life savings wiped out, I have no other alternative but to turn to Legal Aid and I hope the ministry will be impartial and “compassionate” in light of the landslide mandate trumpeted by PM Lee.

    I have previously seen Fatimah Lateef for help before moving into my current premises but her letter did not aid much either.

    I hope the ministry will look into this with a fresh perspective, thank you.

    Ms Lim
