Teens Resorting To Illegal ADHD Drugs To Study For Exams

Secondary school students are taking mental stimulants meant to treat people with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) during exam periods.

They believe the drug methylphenidate boosts concentration and keeps them awake, so they have more time to prepare for exams.

Secondary 3 student Jason says: “It is no different from an ultra strong coffee.

“It is a temporary discomfort and it screws up my sleep cycle, but it is worth it because I get more time to study.”

He is from a top school here.

But healthcare professionals caution against the misuse of these drugs as it could lead to addiction and dependency issues.

Dramatic CNB Drug Bust In Boon Lay

Stompers Emily and Jurong resident thought that they were looking at an accident scene at Boon Lay Way at around 5.50pm yesterday (May 01).

But what they both saw was the aftermath of a Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) drug bust.

According to Emily, the accident involved a Honda Civic and Hyundai Getz.

Stomper Jurong Resident told Stomp that she had heard a loud thud from her flat and noticed that a blue car had crashed into the road divider.

In a phone interview with Stomp, the Stomper said:

“I saw a blue car crash into the middle fence, strangely in the opposite direction. The driver of the blue car immediately opened the door and started running.

“Then four men from the grey vehicles ran out of the car and started chasing the man. They managed to catch him and dragged him back and put him into one of the grey cars.”

Here is the CNB statement which sheds light on the incident:

“Earlier this evening (May 01), a 26-year-old suspected male drug trafficker who was trying to evade arrest, crashed his car into CNB Officers’ vehicle along Boon Lay Way, before hitting a member of public’s car.

“Both the suspect and the family of four in that car were sent to the hospital for checks.

“The suspect was related to an earlier case on 30 Apr 2015 where about 312 gm of heroin and 3 Erimin-5 tablets were found in a car.

“Suspect is now under CNB’s custody and will be investigated for drug trafficking.”

First Singaporean Charged Under PHTA Faces 18 More Charges For Recruiting Prostitutes And Sex With A Minor

The first Singaporean to be charged under the new Prevention of Human Trafficking Act (PHTA) now faces 18 charges for recruiting prostitutes, including minors, having sex with a minor and paying for sex with a minor.

Muhammad Khairulanwar Rohmat was yesterday slapped with 16 charges following police investigations. He has been in remand since he was first charged last week with one count of recruiting a child for exploitation, and for having sex with the girl, who is 15 years old.

Today (April 29), Khairulanwar was charged with recruiting another 16-year-old for the purpose of sexual exploitation. He is said to have done so at Cuppage Terrace on March 15.

Khairulanwar also faces charges for soliciting customers who paid him for sexual services by minors.

He is accused of being paid S$350 and S$450 on two separate occasions between March and April this year, in exchange for arranging for customers to have sex with minors.

He is also accused of paying S$70 to a minor to have sex with him in a male toilet on March 27, and faces another charge for having sex with a minor on April 13.

Five of the charges Khairulanwar faces are for living on the earnings of prostitutes between February 2013 and April this year, while he also faces six charges for procuring women for the purpose of prostitution.

Both crimes could earn him jail sentences of up to five years, with fines up to S$10,000.

The PHTA was passed in Parliament last November and implemented in March. It serves to deter human trafficking, including the sexual exploitation of individuals.

The Act states that any person who recruits, transports, transfers, harbours or receives an individual by means of threat, force or coercion, abduction, deception, abuse of vulnerability, or using money or any other benefit will be found guilty of trafficking.

For receiving payment for trafficking individuals, a convicted person can be jailed up to 10 years, fined up to S$100,000 and receive up to six strokes of the cane.

A harsher sentence will be imposed if he is discovered to have committed the offence more than once.

The maximum sentence for sex with a minor is up to 10 years in jail, or a fine, or both, while the maximum punishment for paying for sex with a minor is up to seven years in jail, or a fine, or both.

Khairulanwar’s case will be mentioned in court again on May 20.

Dzar Ismail: Jangan Rosakkan Lagi Nama Baik Budak-Budak CD, Hantar Culprits Gi Nepal

Pikirkanlah blood brother korang yg bertungkus lumus bantu mangsa gempa kat Nepal. Jangan sebab segelintir, sebar video rosakkan harta bende, semua nama jadi busuk. Aku pun dulu SCDF jugak.

Dulu-dulu pakcik-pakcik pandang hina kat aku beb. Nak tackle anak dia, tanya army ker SCDF. Bila sebut SCDF, dia pandang atas bawah.

Last bila jumpa masa jemputan, cakap dia selalu dengar aku, dan berkenan sangat dengan aku. Well its too late pakcik, sapa suro ko pandang hina kat SCDF! Tapi mungkin selepas hari nih, dia akan senyum! Dia akan cakap, “Aku dah cakap dah!” Aku tau dia tengah senyum! Aku tampar kang. Jadi, hargailah mereka yg mengharumkan nama SCDF. Jangan amek sambil lewa, bila pakai uniform, sebab yg lain, yg tak bersalah, semua akan terbabit.

Dan kepada SCDF, janganlah sampai buang mereka, tapi, hantarlah mereka ke Nepal, baru mereka tau hargai kehidupan susah, cari mangsa pakai tangan, angkat batu bata, jadi rescuer, jadi medic, baru tahu menilai erti pakai uniform biru tuh.

Nih dah lemak sangat nih.

Policeman Fine $4000 For Illegally Accessing Police Computer System To Check On Mistress

A married cop who illegally accessed the police computer system to check on a woman he had been having an affair with was fined $4,000 on Tuesday.

Senior station inspector Rick Goh Fu Yuan, 39, had wanted to lodge a police report against 28-year-old Joice Rosiana as he had suspected her of making nuisance calls to his wife.

He carried out an unauthorised search using the Frontline Officers’ Computerised System (Focus) by keying in her identity card number in the search field on Nov 11, 2011.

The system enables authorised officers to lodge police reports and carry out searches on reports filed by members of the public.

Goh, who was deployed as a court officer, pleaded guilty to one of three charges of computer misuse at Central Police Division headquarters.

Goh’s lawyer Michael Chia said in mitigation that his client had Ms Joice’s details as she had been a very close friend for some time. He wanted to make sure the information he had was accurate before he lodged a report against her.

He said the officer of 18 years is likely to face further disciplinary proceedings and lose his career in the SPF.

Mr Chia added: “He actually had a bright future ahead of him and he would have had the opportunity to serve the nation had this one foolish act not occurred. Of course, he should have known better.”

Goh got to know Ms Joice, an assistant admin executive, when he was studying at the Singapore Institute of Management University in 2010.

Mr Chia said that by June 2011, he had begun to distance himself from her as he felt their relationship was developing into an improper association as he was still married at the time.

He said his client committed the offence “in a moment of absolute folly and desperation to protect his then wife from harassment”.

He did not benefit from the act, nor cause any damage.

Goh could have been fined up to $5,000 and/or jailed for up to two years.
