  • Animal Cruelty: Man Wrapped Up A Stray Cat In Masking Tape, Another Woman Abandoned Her Cat

    Animal Cruelty: Man Wrapped Up A Stray Cat In Masking Tape, Another Woman Abandoned Her Cat

    A man was fined S$6,000 for animal cruelty, after he wrapped up a stray cat in masking tape, the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) said on Wednesday (Aug 23).

    Li Xiaojing, 30, admitted to wrapping the stray cat in masking tape after it entered his home.

    He claimed the cat had urinated in his home, and that he had taped it so that it could be taken away.

    The cat – with its entire body taped up tightly – was found by a member of the public at Ubi Avenue 1, community group Yishun 326 Tabby Cat said in a Feb 1 Facebook post appealing for information.

    The cat was taken to a veterinary clinic, where it had to be anaesthetised before all the masking tape could be removed.

    The cat did not sustain any physical injuries from the incident and has been rehomed.

    In a separate case, Noorfazanah Abdul Salam, 32, was fined S$3,000 for abandoning her pet cat.

    Noorfazanah said she had taken the cat to the vet on Nov 22, 2016, but took it back home as she could not afford the treatment for it.

    Later that same day, she abandoned the mixed-breed cat in a pet carrier at Sumang Walk in Punggol.

    A member of the public found the cat and AVA was alerted to the case the following day.

    The cat was in need of urgent veterinary attention at the time, AVA said.

    The cat has since been treated and rehomed, it added.

    Those who abandon their pets could be fined up to S$10,000 and/or jailed up to a year. Anyone found guilty of animal cruelty can be fined up to S$15,000 and/or jailed up to 18 months.

  • Singaporean Indian Subjected To Racist Abuse By 3 Chinese Man Who Thought He’s From Bangladesh

    Singaporean Indian Subjected To Racist Abuse By 3 Chinese Man Who Thought He’s From Bangladesh

    Tonight, as I cycled home from my girlfriend’s place, a van slowed down ahead of me, and a young Chinese man stuck his head out of the van to yell “Fucking Bangla” at me.

    Of course it immediately made me mad so I stopped to look at them, and as the van approached I saw that there were at least 3 men in the vehicle. I was fuming, but I knew I was outnumbered, and this could turn south quickly, so I continued cycling. As I cycled away, the same young man shouted, “Stare, what stare”.

    This rant won’t do much, but as I sit at my desk, shell shocked at what transpired tonight, I want you to know that shit like this still happens.

    If you think racism doesn’t occur anymore think again. Shouldn’t anyone in Singapore have a right to feel safe? Tonight, I certainly didn’t.

    Edit: In the heat of the moment, I forgot to get the plate number.

  • Uncle’s Friend Dirtied Car With Vomit, Uncle Unfairly Takes It Out On Valet Driver, Boasted To Attending Police Officers That He Got Money

    Uncle’s Friend Dirtied Car With Vomit, Uncle Unfairly Takes It Out On Valet Driver, Boasted To Attending Police Officers That He Got Money

    You needed a driver (even from East Coast Park lagoon to CCK n Jurong West), we provided one. You needed to drop a friend home, we followed your instructions. But we didn’t tell your friend to vomit in your car!!

    You wanted us to drive you to nearest car wash near your house and we did. Along the way you couldn’t stand the smell of vomit in your new car and got angry with your friend, why take it out on our driver? Why be vulgar and aggressive with Uncle Kumar?

    Upon reaching the petrol station you refused to pay and even challenged a bystander who tried to mediate after seeing you verbally abuse our driver? You even boasted you had money to the police but refuse to pay unless our driver washed the car for you??!!

    Uncle Kumar is one of our most humble, obliging and patient drivers we have. He came to work on a Sunday night to earn a little more to support his family and to ensure drinkers get home safely. Why pick on him when it’s your friend that dirtied your car?!

    We will be lodging a police report against you not for the $38.00 you refuse to pay but for the way you took our driver for granted and for your bullying act.

    To all other drive home valet service providers, this may happen to your drivers as well. Don’t ever let this or any other bullies take our drivers for granted. We are only providing a service to keep our roads safer and to ensure drinkers get home safe.

  • Man Angry With Estranged Wife Bantai Children, Sentenced To 4-Months Jail

    Man Angry With Estranged Wife Bantai Children, Sentenced To 4-Months Jail

    A father hit his young children with a fabric belt and even held an ignited lighter near them.

    The 33-year-old father of five did it because he had insisted his children were not telling him the truth about his estranged wife’s whereabouts.

    The man, who cannot be named to protect the identities of the children, had lost contact with his wife after she left the flat in Boon Lay some time before January last year.

    Yesterday, the unemployed man was sentenced to four months’ jail for two counts of ill-treating his 10- year-old son and nine-year-old daughter.

    He was also jailed for a day and fined $1,000 for a separate offence of stealing $41 worth of cigarettes from a minimart in Boon Lay.

    Four other charges – ill-treating his 10 year-old son, causing hurt to the boy’s stepmother and two counts of dishonest misappropriation of property – were considered in sentencing.

    Deputy Public Prosecutor Sarah Ong said the abuse happened on Jan 29 last year. The accused was home with four of his children when he asked the victims if they had any information about his estranged wife. Both said they did not.

    He became angry, accused them of lying and grabbed a folded fabric belt to hit his son.

    The boy was struck on the shoulder and was in pain, but his father continued to hit him as he tried to dodge the blows. In all, the boy was struck about 10 times all over his body. The man then turned to his daughter and hit her about five times with the same belt.

    Later, the accused approached his son with an ignited lighter and held it near the boy’s left arm. It was close enough for the boy to feel the heat.

    The man did this while quizzing his son about his wife’s whereabouts, and also did the same thing to his daughter.

    When his daughter cried and said she was not lying, he kept the lighter and walked away.

    Multiple bruises were found on both children, with red marks on the boy’s arms and chest.

    The accused also stole cigarettes on April 17 last year at 4.13am.

    His jail term will start after the expiry of his current sentence of three years and six months for taking drugs.

    The accused could have been fined up to $4,000 and/or jailed for up to four years on each charge of ill-treating a child which caused the child unnecessary physical pain.

    The maximum penalty for theft in dwelling is seven years’ jail and a $30,000 fine.
