A girl took to Instagram to celebrate her parents' long-draw out divorce, relief that her beloved mother can now focus on her cancer treatment.

This happiness was juxtaposed against a darker secret. According to the girl, her father, an NUS IT Manager, was a sexual deviant with a fetish. He allegedly preyed on her and her young brother, had a sexual affair with the maid, and also used his position to prey on impressionable or vulnerable church mates.

If her allegations are to be believed, her father has supporters who would back him up and guilt trip the girl and her brother.

What's sad is that the adults around the girl and her siblings, did not take her allegations seriously. They were dismissed to be part of their mother's divorce strategy to discredit the father. 

According to the girl, the police were allegedly similarly dismissive of her allegations. Credit to the girl, her persistence may finally be paying off.

From the girl's revelations, it appears that the father cultivated an image of god-fearing, trustworthy, family man who dotes on his children. He used his position as an active volunteer with New Creation Church to prey on vulnerable women, such as those who were facig marital problems.

Not only that, the girl also found evidence of sex toys and costumes, revealing much about her father's fetishes. This man emotionally blackmailed his wife to have indulge his fetishes, threatening to find other women to satisfy his sexual desires.

These allegations are very severe.

In the past, these allegations were dismissed as the acts of a young girl angry with her father for divorcing her mother. Now that the divorce is over, that argument des not hold.

The authorities need to look into these allegations and ensure that the girl, her younger sibling, and her mother, are protected from this manipulative man.

After 13 years evading the authorities, James Nalla Rajan Naidu was finally arrested and jailed for 18 months.

An inebriated Naidu was first arrested in 2006 for a dispute but he hid from the authorities before he could be charged in court.

Later in 2017, he had to seek medical treatment at Sengkang Polyclinic after falling from his bicycle. As part of his attempt to keep his identity a secret, he used a photocopy of a NRIC belonging to Chandran Sinathanmby, who was in prison at the time. It was not known how Naidu managed to obtain the latter's NRIC.

It was only when he was referred to Changi General Hospital (CGH) that his ruse was uncovered. A police report was made but he was still evading arrest.

Subsequently, Naidu used the samepo tactic when he sought medical treatment at Singapore General Hospital (SGH). He left without paying,

Naidu's luck finally ran out after he bumped into Naidu when he when he went to Sengkang General Hospital (SKGH) for a follow-up treatment for his earlier injury. Chandran, who by then was out of prison, received an SMS notification regarding the same appointment. 

It was the that Chandran realised that someone was using his NRIC details to pass off as him.

Fortuitously, he bumped into Naidu, who was in a wheelchair, and tried to help Naidu get around the hospital. He then realised that the person he was helping was the one who has been using his identity all along.

This time, Naidu could not evade arrest any longer.

You can run, but you cannot hide. 

A samaritan going by the name 'Callistar Dynara' on Facebook, is seeking for donations to ease the burden of a family.

This is her post in full:

Salam friends,

We will start a fundraising project for a family of 8. A wife, who is also the mother of 6 kids age 15, 11, 9, 8, 7 and 2 needs help URGENTLY.. Her husband who is the sole breadwinner to the family had 3rd degree burnt affecting 80% of his body due to escooter explosion @ his mum's place and he was trapped inside the room, unable to escape the fire.

Wife is the sole caregiver as husband is depending on her alone to assist on his needs. Family has ZERO income for now as SSO's assistance is still pending for renewal as she could not leave her husband alone at home.

(URGENT!!)

She is currently in need of MEPILEX 17.5cmx17.5cm, STERILE CREPE 6 inch and STERILE CREPE BANDAGE 4inch for her husband's dressings.. His wound is raw and huge, and if it's not properly care, it might lead to severe infections which could lead to complications or death.

The family comprised of 8 people - a husband, a wife, and their six children aged between 2 to 15.

The husband was the sold breadwinner until recently when he suffered 3rd degree burns on 80% of his body. He was in a room when an e-scooter exploded.

At present, the family has no income but plenty of needs that they require. 

If you are interested in helping the family, please contact Callistar Dynara on Facebook for more details on how you can help.

A man who lives in Jurong West could arguably be waking up to some of the best sights and sounds in Singapore.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, he saw a couple engaging in a sex act of a multi-storey carpark near block 517B, Jurong West. 

The man and woman went their separate ways after they were done.

According to the man, such acts were a common occurrence.

It goes to show, no matter how early you think you are, there's always someone watching.

In Punggol, a notorious 51 year old woman has prompted six neighbours to move out from their HDB flat, in the past two years.

Exasperated neighbours had to take drastic measures after finding out from the Police that what she allegedly carried out were non-arrestable offences.

These acts include stomping on the floor, playing the music loudly, splashing oil on their doorsteps, and leaving a bloody pig's ear on a shoe rack.

The woman countered these claims, and suggested that it was her neighbours who were ganging up on her, making her life a misery.

Whose story do you believe?

Regardless, it is important that residents have a way of seeking redress for such harassment, without having the need to file a civil lawsuit. Otherwise, whoever that moves in will also feel harassed.

A distraught son took to Facebook to question the alleged unprofessionalism of Tan Tock Seng Hospital, in their handling of his mother, a patient there.

The son was livid with the flippant response from the staff, after they had caused his mother to dehydrate after injecting the wrong fluid into her by mistake.

Her mom had also suffered injection bruises when an inexperienced staff tried, but failed to draw blood from her, about five to six times. 

Also, the attending Lung Specialist was also almost two hours late for an appointment with them, but only told them that she wasn't able to come on time after they contacted the specialist.

Apart from an apology, they did not offer his mother any further medication for the swelling. They even had the audacity to ask him to remove the earlier post.

The son is clearly exasperated at the treatment.

Whoever was monitoring TTSH's social media should have been more considered and ask the son what else they can do to make things better, rather than be so besotted with the bad press.

The patient should be prioritised. Not your reputation. If you had taken good care of your patients, your reputation will take care of itself.

What are they going to do about the administration of the wrong fluid to her mom. Mistakes happen but it should not be glossed over with a mere apology.

The outcome could have been much worse than a dehydration. An apology wouldn't have been enough.
