  • Female Teacher Under Stress, Commits Suicide

    Female Teacher Under Stress, Commits Suicide

    A female teacher who could not bear with the stresses of her job decided to end it all – by slitting her wrists and jumping off the 13th storey of her flat.

    The incident took place this morning at 4AM at a HDB flat along Marsiling St 17. The female teacher was identified as 28 year-old Malaysian Luo Pei Wen. She lived alone in a room she rented from her landlady. She had been working as a Mandarin teacher at a local secondary school.

    According to her landlady Luo had rented her room for over half a year. Her appearance had become increasingly frail in recent weeks.

    “I chatted with her yesterday, she complained that the stress was very great and that she was feeling tired. I didn’t expect her to commit suicide,” the landlady said.

    She said that she had brought her eldest daughter shopping when the suicide took place. When she arrived at her block, she realized that someone had committed suicide but did not suspect that it was Luo.

    When she returned home, she realized that Luo had not left her room and decided to check on her. After knocking her door to no response, they opened the door and realised that there was a large pool of blood. After calling Luo’s school to check if she had gone to work, she realized what had happened.

  • He Smuggled Seven Puppies, Now He Will Be Jailed 8 Months

    He Smuggled Seven Puppies, Now He Will Be Jailed 8 Months

    A 25-year-old Malaysian man was sentenced to a total of eight months’ jail on Thursday (Apr 16) for smuggling seven puppies into Singapore, the Agri-food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) and Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in a joint news release.

    For importing the dogs without relevant permits, he was slapped with a jail term of five months, and for subjecting them to unnecessary suffering or pain, he was sentenced to 3 months’ prison. The sentences will run consecutively.

    The man was stopped by ICA officers at Woodlands Checkpoint for routine checks at about 8.20pm on Mar 30.

    ICA officers found seven live puppies hidden underneath the front passenger seat. One of the puppies was found dead, while the remaining six appeared to be sedated, the agencies said.

    AVA said after investigations that the puppies did not have food or water during their journey. Five of the puppies subsequently deteriorated in condition and died due to to illness, while the remaining puppy is under quarantine at AVA’s Sembawang Animal Quarantine Station (SAQS), where it is being observed for signs of infectious or contagious disease.

    AVA highlighted the danger of smuggling animals into Singapore. AVA prosecutor, Yap Teck Chuan, said: “The danger of the introduction of diseases, such as rabies, into Singapore is real. The efforts of AVA and other authorities in regulating importation and enforcing quarantine measures, in order to ensure the safety of Singaporeans, will be futile if offenders continue to import puppies from dubious sources through illegal means.”

  • Former Malaysian National Footballer Jailed 24 Months For Corruption And Immigration Offences

    Former Malaysian National Footballer Jailed 24 Months For Corruption And Immigration Offences

    A former Malaysian national footballer was sentenced to 24 months’ jail for corruption and immigration offences, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said on Thursday (Apr 9).

    Thana Segar S Sinnaiah (Thana Segar), 40, had earlier pleaded guilty to four charges. These include one count of abetment by conspiracy with Selvarajan Letchuman for corruptly giving gratification a sum not more than RM15,000 (S$5,600) to referee Shokri Bin Nor to fix the Malaysian Super League match between the LionsXII and Sarawak on May 22, 2012.

    He also pleaded guilty to two counts of abetment by conspiracy with Selvarajan and Shokri to cheat Singapore Pools, and for one count of failure to present his passport when leaving Singapore.

    Four other charges of abetment by conspiracy to cheat Singapore Pools were taken into consideration for the sentencing, according to CPIB.

    Thana Segar was first charged on May 24, 2012, for one count of engaging with Shokri, in a conspiracy to corruptly agree to receive gratification to fix the Malaysian Super League match on May 22.

    While out on bail, Thana Segar failed to turn up for the pre-trial conference scheduled for Aug 7, 2012. He was later apprehended in August 2014 with the assistance of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, CPIB said.

    “The popularity of football and the lucrative business of football betting have made the matches susceptible to illegal practices including match-fixing. These practices must be eliminated to protect the integrity of the sport and to keep the local sports scene clean,” the agency said.

    “Singapore has always adopted a zero-tolerance approach towards corruption, and match-fixing of any form is not condoned in Singapore. The CPIB investigates into match-fixing through bribery cases and will not hesitate to take action against any parties involved if they had given or received bribes to fix a match.”

  • Malaysian Sex Blogger Alvin Tan Prefers Malaysia Over Singapore

    Malaysian Sex Blogger Alvin Tan Prefers Malaysia Over Singapore

    PETALING JAYA: Malaysians who rave about how good life is in Singapore have probably never ever lived in the city-state and have a distorted view of the reality there, said controversial Malaysian sex-blogger Alvin Tan, who is living in self-exile in the US now.

    In a Facebook posting on April 1, Alvin wrote, “They (Malaysians) have this utopian, idealistic view of the city-state, and they even think that the high GDP per capita actually trickles down to ordinary folks like them (har har har).

    Listing six “truths” about Singapore, Alvin slammed the cramped quarters that Singaporeans called housing, saying their flats were “smaller than even the upstairs area of your terrace house”.

    He also talked about how tough it was to own a car and how Singaporeans had to depend on “riding trains that break down” despite the fares being pricey.

    He said many became “bitter, cynical individuals early on in life” due to the compulsory national service they attended in Pulau Tekong and spent their working lives “competing fruitlessly” with foreigners who stole their jobs.

    Noting that monthly commitments were sky-high, he said many simply resigned themselves to their corporate lives and paid chunks of their salaries into a “compulsory saving scam” called CPF that he likened to a Ponzi scheme.

    In comparison, he said life in Malaysia was relatively better.

    “Our day-to-day cost of living is high, but at least the biggest things – transportation and housing – is more affordable. Hell, you can rent a room for RM250 in Kuala Lumpur (instead of S$700 in Singapore); what more do you want? And lastly, our EPF isn’t a Ponzi scheme to fund god knows what,” Alvin said.

    He argued that the clean, safe streets of Singapore did not make up for all that was wrong with the country and that so many could not gain access to their “world-class education system” that Singapore boasted of and had to obtain an education overseas instead.

    “I was offered Singaporean Permanent Residence (status) in 2007. I tossed the letter into the rubbish bin. I had no intention of becoming a cog in the wheel to fund the CPF, Temasek Holdings, and your ministers’ million-dollar salaries.”

  • Malaysia Construction Worker Jailed Three Weeks For Taking Upskirt Video

    Malaysia Construction Worker Jailed Three Weeks For Taking Upskirt Video

    A construction worker was jailed for three weeks on Wednesday for taking an upskirt video of a woman on an MRT station escalator.

    Cheong Chap Mun, a 38-year-old Malaysian working in Singapore, turned on his mobile phone’s video recorder and placed it facing upwards in a bag which he put between the woman’s legs.

    The incident, on June 1, 2012, came to light after he was caught 11 days later.

    Cheong had been travelling on a bus when a fellow passenger spotted him taking a photograph of her upper body with his mobile phone.

    She confronted him and approached the bus driver for help. The driver then alerted the bus service staff who called the police.

    They seized Cheong’s mobile and found out he had taken upskirt videos.

    Deputy Public Prosecutor Lin Yinbing said there was a risk that the videos could have been circulated, causing his victim further humiliation.

    She noted that he had also been convicted and fined for possession of an obscene film in 2007.

    Three other charges were taken into consideration during sentencing.

    Cheong, who was not represented, asked for a lighter sentence, saying that he had realised his mistake and will mend his ways.

    He added that he is getting married in May and has to take care of his elderly mother.

    District Judge Crystal Ong said she agreed with the prosecution, adding that he did not commit the offence in the spur of the moment as he had plans to conceal his phone to avoid detection.

    For insulting the modesty of a woman, he could have been jailed up to a year and fined.
