    Husband Of Alleged MRT Seat Hogger Set The Facts Straight

    Am the Husband of the lady whose pic has been posted without her permission . Am the guy sitting right next to her . Let me get the facts straight .

    For a major portion of the journey my Son was sitting on the seat . He felt sleepy and climbed into her mothers lap. During the entire journey no one , absolutely no one came and asked for the seat .

    There were other empty seats available , intact on my left . So my question is why did Whing want to sit on a seat that’s reserved for kids , physically handicapped ppl and elderlies . Whing never came and asked for the seat and she is blatantly lying here . There were many seats available .

    We are involved in multiple charities in Singapore and stupid racial comments is the last thing we want to hear.

    This post violates the privacy of my family and is made with malicious intent only to get eyeballs. To all those who are Jumping to conclusions ,it’s my humble request to please read this message and let truth win. My Wife and kid are being victimised unnecessarily .

    I request this post to be taken off immediately and I am going to report this matter to police .

  • Briton Who Stopped WannaCry Attacks Failed IT

    Briton Who Stopped WannaCry Attacks Failed IT

    The British computer expert credited with halting the global WannaCry cyber attack failed IT in school.

    Speaking to The Daily Mail in an interview published on Monday, Mr Marcus Hutchins, 22, said he was suspended in 2010 after being accused of hacking into his school’s system.

    “The school server had been attacked and the network was down. I was online at the time and I saw the network slowing down. They handed me some papers which showed I was online then and chatting with my friends on the school network.

    “Then that was it, I was suspended for something I never did,” said Mr Hutchins, who is from south-west England. He is a researcher at Kryptos Logic, a Los Angeles-based threat intelligence company.

    After that, he was banned from using Internet-connected computers, which meant he had to complete his GCSE, the British equivalent of O levels, in IT on paper – which he failed.

    The self-taught cyber security expert is also working with the UK government’s National Cyber Security Centre to prevent a new strain of the malicious software from emerging.

    The attack stopped spreading when Mr Hutchins, helped by Mr Darien Huss from security firm Proofpoint, accidentally triggered a “kill switch”.

    In an interview with Associated Press on Monday, Mr Hutchins said he does not consider himself a hero, and fights malware because “it is the right thing to do”.

    Kryptos Logic chief executive Salim Neino said Mr Hutchins took over the “kill switch” on Friday afternoon (European time) before it could fully affect the US.

    MCE Fire-Fighting System Accidentally Activated, No Fire Or Accident At The Scene

    The fire-fighting system along the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) tunnel was accidentally activated on Wednesday afternoon (May 17), causing a slowdown in traffic.

    “At 12.57pm today, the water-based fire-fighting system along the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) eastbound tunnel, before the exit to Fort Road was accidentally activated,” said a spokesperson from the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

    “After verifying that there was no fire, the system was immediately switched off, and normal traffic condition resumed at about 1.06pm,” the spokesperson added. “LTA is investigating the cause of the incident. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.”

    A photo sent in by a Channel NewsAsia reader showed lines of stationary vehicles in the tunnel, with what appear to be sprinklers going off overhead across all lanes.

  • Malaysia A ‘Dumping Ground’ For Deported ISIS Fighters

    Malaysia A ‘Dumping Ground’ For Deported ISIS Fighters

    Malaysia has become a dumping ground for foreign fighters prevented from entering Syria to fight alongside the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), according to the New Straits Times daily.

    Citing intelligence sources, it said yesterday that some of these dozens of “unwanted tourists” were only flagged as high-risk individuals by the deporting country after they had entered Malaysia, a choice destination because it is predominantly Muslim and offers visa-free entry to many nations.

    These sources revealed that there were about 30 such individuals who had entered Malaysia after being detained at airports in other countries for their potential risk to national security.

    Malaysian intelligence operatives have tracked down most of these individuals, who they say were not supposed to be sent to Malaysia in the first place. “The problem is that these foreigners departed from all parts of the world before being arrested in Istanbul, Turkey. Instead of being deported to their last port of disembarkation, they were given the ‘option’ to be deported to Malaysia,” a source said. “We have become a dumping ground…”

    Counter-terrorism chief Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said it was possible that these deportees “would look for a chance to plan an attack (in Malaysia) since their aim to go to Syria had been foiled”.
