Woman Calls Police After Bus Passenger Films Her For Not Moving When Told She Was Occupying 2 Seats

Stomper Arhchun was irked when he asked to sit a woman to remove her bag so he could sit down — only to be faced with protests.

Furious that the aunty refused to do so, he took out his phone to film her. She, in turn, retaliated by allegedly calling the police.

According to the video, this incident occurred yesterday (Sep 22) 8.52am at Balestier, on board Bus 124.

Archun wrote:

“Exposing the ugly behaviour of a selfish aunty, who refused to share the double seats on a crowded bus, and called the police shamelessly for her mistakes.”

In the clip, the woman can be seen talking to what is assumed to be the police, who then persuades her to seek the bus driver’s help or alight the bus.

Bullies Punches Youth Repeatedly At Void Deck While Friends Cheer

Stomper Gerald sent in a video of three bullies punching a youth repeatedly at a void deck.

This incident seems to have occurred at a void deck in Singapore, but the location and time is uncertain.

There has been a rise in the number of bullying incidents lately, namely the recent case at Shuqun Secondary school, where a student was seen slapping his classmates on the head multiple times and hitting them with a book.

In the video, three bullies are seen taking turns to throw punches at a teenager while hurling vulgarities at him.

The teenager didn’t seem to retaliate.

The bullies’ friends were standing around cheering while they were punching the youth.

Stomp is contacting the Stomper for more information.

The Hajj Pilgrimage

Hundreds of thousands of Muslims from across the globe began the annual hajj pilgrimage on Tuesday (Sept 22).

The pilgrims began moving from Saudi Arabia’s holy city of Mecca to nearby Mina for the start of the event.

The first day of the hajj is known as Tarwiah Day, when pilgrims traditionally watered their animals and stocked water for their trip to Mount Arafat, about 10km from Mina.

Pilgrims stay in specially-built fireproof tents in Mina, a city which only comes alive during the hajj season.

At Mount Arafat, they will pray and recite from the Koran during the climax of the hajj season on Wednesday (Sept 23).

Mount Arafat, a rocky hill on a vast plain, is where the Prophet Mohammed is believed to have given his final sermon after leading his followers on the hajj.

Rugi Lebih $6000 Kereta Dipecah Masuk Di JB

Bersarapan sambil membeli makanan ketika singgah sebentar di Pasar Tani, Larkin, Johor Bahru, pada Sabtu lalu begitu tinggi harganya bagi Hajah Rokiah Bustami dan suaminya, Haji Mohamad Mohd Amin.

Ibarat mimpi di siang hari, Hajah Rokiah, 60 tahun, tauke Restoran D’Pelangi di Kelab Masyarakat Tampines North, terperanjat apabila mendapati kereta yang suaminya letakkan di bahu jalan raya utama berhadapan pasar tersebut dipecah masuk.

Sudahlah cermin tingkap tengah sebelah kiri kereta Toyota Voxy mereka hancur berderai, beg ibu Hajah Rokiah, Hajah Zaharah Abdullah, 78 tahun, yang berisi $4,800 serta sepasang subang dan cincin berlian bernilai hampir $2,000 lesap.

Namun, mereka lega kerana banyak lagi barang berharga yang ditinggalkan dalam kereta tidak dilarikan pencuri.

Ini termasuk iPad di atas ‘dashbod’, telefon bimbit dalam laci dan tas tangan berisi RM6,000 ($1,977), $1,000 dan tujuh pasport milik pasangan tersebut, Hajah Zaharah, tiga adik-beradik Hajah Rokiah dan pembantu rumah warga Indonesia.

Menyingkap kejadian itu, Haji Mohamad, 68 tahun, menyatakan mereka singgah di pasar tersebut sekitar 7.30 pagi untuk sarapan sebelum meneruskan perjalanan bercuti ke Port Dickson.

“Ada 20 kereta yang diletakkan di bahu jalan raya tersebut. Selepas duduk sebentar dalam kereta, saya kemudian pergi mencari isteri dan keluarganya untuk sama-sama sarapan.

“Saya seorang kembali ke kereta dan yang lain pergi membeli-belah. Sampai ke kereta, seorang lelaki tua menunjukkan tangannya ke arah cermin tengah kereta saya yang telah pecah.

“Ketika itu, saya tak tahu apa barang yang hilang sehinggalah isteri dan ibu mentua saya datang. Ibu mentua saya kata begnya yang diletakan di tempat duduk tengah dah hilang,” cerita Haji Mohamad ketika ditemui di rumah mereka di Jalan Singa semalam.

Dalam keadaan kelam-kabut itu, Hajah Rokiah segera memeriksa barang lain yang ditinggalkan dalam kereta itu.

“Saya bersyukur kerana nasib baik iPad dan telefon bimbit yang menjadi nyawa perniagaan saya tak hilang. Segala maklumat dan kontak bisnes ada di dalamnya.

“Alhamdulillah juga pencuri tak larikan tas tangan saya kerana dalamnya ada tujuh pasport. Kalau hilang bingit dibuatnya. Allah punya kuasa tak nampakkan tas tangan saya kepada si pencuri,” tambahnya.

Ibu empat anak itu bersyukur kerana keretanya yang berharga $180,000 itu tidak dilarikan pencuri.

Namun, beliau terpaksa menunggu tiga minggu bagi mendapatkan cermin tingkap pengganti dari Jepun.

Selepas membuat laporan di Balai Polis Larkin, mereka meneruskan perjalanan dengan hati lara ke Port Dickson.

“Pegawai penyiasat polis menyatakan kepada kami mereka syak pencuri mungkin menggunakan bahan kimia bagi pecahkan cermin kereta saya. Ini kerana cermin kereta saya pecah berderai halus keadaannya.

“Pegawai berkenaan juga menasihatkan kami agar jangan tinggalkan beg plastik sekalipun dalam kereta kerana ia menarik perhatian pencuri,” kata Hajah Rokiah.

Single Father Of 3 Kids Unable To Work After Getting Cancer

First his business failed, then his wife abandoned him with three kids and now, Mr Wu Yunchong has been struck with esophageal cancer, reported Shin Min Daily.

Mr Wu, 44, met his wife over 10 years ago at a friend’s wedding. At that time, he was also trying his hand at a garment business with his friend.

The business only lasted three years and raked up $20,000 to $30,000 in debt.

He had to sell his three-room flat to clear the debts and ended up moving into a rental flat with his Vietnamese wife and family, according to Shin Min Daily.

Unable to take the hardship, his wife abandoned him with three young children. To support the family, Mr Wu took on two jobs.

“I started working as a cleaner,” he told the Chinese daily, “and I would bring the kids to school and fetch them home after.” His sons are now 13 and 10 years old, and his daughter is seven.

After doing the housework and tucking the children in bed, he will head for his second job as a dishwasher. He earned about $1,000.

Mr Wu revealed that he found a high-paying cleaner job three years ago. He thought the job could turn his life around, but this year, he found out in May that he has cancer.

“At first, the doctor thought I had acid reflux and gave me pills to take. After three months, I didn’t feel better so I went to see a specialist and found out it was esophageal cancer,” he said in the Shin Min Daily report.

“I nearly collapsed when I found out as I was worried about my kids’ future,” he added.

Weight loss of 12kg

After the diagnosis, Mr Wu said the tumour was about 4.5cm in size and he was scheduled for surgery in October. His weight dropped from 63kg to 51kg.

Now, he is unable to do the operation as he is underweight.

He has already had 26 treatments of chemotherapy and four radiotherapy sessions. The costs are deducted from Medisave and his savings are nearly exhausted, reported Shin Min Daily.

He still has over $2,300 in bills to be paid.

Children worried about father

When his kids were informed of his illness, they got so worried and started to cry.

Mr Wu said he tried to cover up his illness but his second son kept on asking him questions and eventually found out the truth.

When interviewed by Shin Min Daily, the second son said he was really afraid of losing his father.

Mr Wu said he receives $1,000 of financial assistance but insists on not using the money for his medical bills. He wants the money to be used for his kids’ well-being.

In July, he applied for assistance to support his family. His 10-year-old son even saves up his $2 pocket money to keep for his family’s expenses, but Mr Wu refuses to accept it.

He makes sure every dinner has one vegetable and one meat, and that his kids get adequate nutrition.

Ministry of Social and Family Development said they have been providing financial assistance to Mr Wu since 2012 and the amount has been increased in July 2015.

He also received funds for his medical bills and his children are also aided by the Ministry of Education.
