Woman Admit To Hitting Mother & Verbally Abusing Police Officers: 6 Topics S’poreans Talked About Today (20 Apr)

You know, there’s a couple of rules that, no matter how badass you are, can never be broken.

Thou shalt not hit women (for men), thou shalt not abuse kids (for both sexes). And finally, thou shalt not hit your parents (same, both sexes) because they’ve gone through hell to bring you up.

But that’s exactly what this 33-year-old Singaporean lady, Cheryl Sng Yu Qin, did.

On 11 May 2017, the police received a distressed call from a 68-year-old man.

His daughter was quarrelling with his wife (her mother).

When the police officers arrived at their Toa Payoh north flat, Sng hit the back of her mother’s hand.

Staff Sgt Ng asked her what she was doing and Sng replied, “I am hitting my mother.”

Then she started scolding vulgarities at the officer.

When the officer asked for her personal details, she refused to give them to him and was sent to her room to cool down.

But when she heard her mother giving her personal details to the police officers, she totally lost it. She stormed out of the room and tore up the statement

On 18 Apr 2018, Sng admitted to assaulting her mother, verbally abusing police officers and obstructing them from their duties.

Her lawyer has asked for the judge to sentence her to mandatory treatment, where she’ll receive treatment for her mental condition instead of serving jail time.

This one not scared lightning strike, or that her kids will hit her back in the future geh.

HCI: Our Own Teachers Will Not Have To Pay For Parking

Image: straitstimes.com

Before the Caltex saga, teachers having to pay for parking in their school’s parking lots made the internet news.

And by that, I mean got netizens up and marching in arms.

Just a refresher, the Government announced that schools have to charge their teachers parking fees because it is a taxable benefit.

And everyone was like, these are teachers. C’mon, they’re educating our kids, give them a break, will you.

I don’t see you paying them OT pay also even though they stay back late almost every day.

Then yesterday, Hwa Chong Institute (HCI) hit the news by announcing that they won’t be charging their teachers any parking fees.

Instead, money for the parking will be taken out of an individual professional development fund for the teachers.

In a 2-hour negotiation, the school managed to reach this compromise with the Ministry of Education (MOE) because they own the land the school sits on, and two, they hire their own teachers and so, they are not considered civil servants.

So you’d imagine that supporters of Teachers Don’t Need To Pay will be happy, right? After all, it’s a show of support for teachers, no matter that it’s only one school.

Nope.

Still got mixed reactions from our lovely netizens.

 

But hey, this non-HCI teacher said it best.

TL; DR: Not my taichi. Good for you, I’m not going to wish you die together with me.

Kindhearted Foreign Worker Gives Own Lunch To Needy Elderly in Commonwealth Crescent

We all know that foreign workers don’t earn much. They have to send money back, pay for food, lodgings and whatnot.

But this foreign worker, Cleaner Kalam Mohd Abu, showed us that when you give, it’s not about how much you have.

It’s about how much you’re willing to give.

On 15 Apr 2018, Queenstown NPC uploaded a few pictures of Mr Kalam and several police officers.

His wife, who saw the Facebook post, thought he got into trouble with the police.

But he didn’t. Quite the opposite, in fact.

An elderly lady on the sixth floor of Commonwealth Crescent asked him for some food. Without hesitation, he went to bring his own lunch box, curry and rice which he had cooked himself the night before, and gave it to her.

The police officers noticed his kind act and wanted to give a shoutout for him.

His supervisor said that this isn’t the first time he had done something like that. He had seen the residents in the estate grow older, weaker and passed on.

He was given an official certificate of commendation by the Tanjong Pagar Town Council for his kind act.

So kudos to Mr Kalam Mohd Abu for showing us that it’s possible to give even if you have little yourself.

Maybe it’s time to look at what we can give, instead of always taking, eh? #BeingAMapoti

Here’s the cardinal rule of stealing: sell the stolen goods as fast as possible. Either that or wait till the whole incident blow over before selling it.

Allegedly, this 32-year-old man tried to do the former.

On 19 Apr, it was reported that a man approached two passers-by and tried to sell them his e-scooter.

The man looked like he was desperate for money, so 42-year-old Muhd Sairi decided to buy it off him for $80.

But half an hour later, the pair saw a post in the Facebook group, BWSS, that the e-scooter was a stolen good.

The description of the thief matched the man who sold them the e-scooter, and it looked exactly like the lost e-scooter in the post.

At around 5.40 am, they saw the same man again and chased him down on said e-scooter.

They also notified the original owner and got him to come down to the area.

The police confirmed that they’ve received a call about a case of theft at Geylang Lorong 10 and a 32-year-old suspect was arrested.

Investigations are ongoing.
