S’pore confirms first case of more contagious Covid-19 strain from the UK

Singapore – The first case of the B117 infection, a more contagious variant of the Covid-19 virus currently spreading in the UK, was confirmed in Singapore by the Ministry of Health (MOH).

In its Wednesday (Dec 23) update, the MOH announced Case 58504, where a 17-year-old female Singaporean who had been studying in the UK from August 2020, was confirmed to be infected with the B117 strain.

The student returned to Singapore on Dec 6 and served her stay-home-notice (SHN) at a designated facility upon arrival. The woman had developed a fever the next day and was confirmed Covid-19 positive on Dec 8.

According to MOH, all her close contacts have been placed on quarantine and tested negative for Covid-19 infection at the end of their quarantine period. “As she had been isolated upon arrival in Singapore, we were able to ringfence this case so that there was no further transmission arising from her,” said MOH.

The agency noted that the National Public Health Laboratory is performing viral genomic sequencing for confirmed Covid-19 cases that arrived from Europe recently.

A total of 31 imported cases from Europe, who arrived in Singapore between Nov 17 and Dec 17, 2020, were confirmed Covid-19 positive in Dec 2020. Amongst them, 12 were not infected with the B117 strain. Five samples could not be sequenced due to the low viral load. Another 11 cases are waiting for confirmatory results while the remaining two cases have not been tested thus far, said MOH.

“There is currently no evidence that the B117 strain is circulating in the community,” added MOH.

As a precautionary measure to reduce the risk of spread of the B117 strain to Singapore, the Multi-Ministry Taskforce announced on Wednesday that from Dec 23, all long-term pass holders and short-term visitors with recent travel history to the UK within the last 14 days would not be allowed entry into Singapore or transit through Singapore.

Returning Singapore citizens and permanent residents will be required to undergo a Covid-19 PCR test upon arrival in Singapore, at the start of their 14-day SHN, added MOH.

On Dec 23, MOH confirmed 21 imported cases, 20 of whom are asymptomatic.

Amongst the imported cases, three are Singaporeans and five are Singapore permanent residents who returned from Canada, India, and the UK. Another nine cases are foreign domestic workers who arrived from Indonesia, India, and Myanmar. Meanwhile, two cases are Student’s Pass holders, while the remaining two are Short-Term Visit Pass holders.

All individuals have been placed on SHN.

Felicia Teo murder update: Accused in remand for another week, best friend posts heartbreaking letter

Singapore—In an update to the case of Felicia Teo, who disappeared at the age of 19 in 2007, one of the men accused of her murder, Ahmad Danial Mohamed Rafa’ee, has been remanded for one more week pending further investigations.

Meanwhile, one of Ms Teo’s best friends, Siti Raihanah, posted a heartbreaking letter that has gone viral on social media.

Mr Ahmad’s family hired Mr Shashi Nathan, Ms Laura Yeo and Ms Tania Chin from Withers Khattarwong to represent him in court. The accused appeared via videolink from Central Police Division at the State Courts on Thursday morning (Dec 24).

Mr Nathan told the court that he will meet with Mr Ahmad, 35, once investigations are over.

The case is scheduled for its next mention next week, on Dec 31.

Along with Ragil Putra Setia Sukmarahjana, 32, Mr Ahmad was charged with the murder of Ms Teo just last Thursday, Dec 17. The two men were allegedly the last people to have seen the victim alive.

Ms Teo went missing on June 30, 2007 when she was only 19 years old. The charge sheet against Mr Ahmad said that she was killed at a unit in Block 19 Marine Terrace between 1:39 am and 7:20 am.

No other details about the murder have been revealed.

The victim’s body has not yet been found, and the police, who believe that Messrs Ahmad and Ragil disposed of it, are still searching for Ms Teo’s remains.

Mr Ragil is currently not in Singapore and authorities are endeavouring to locate him.

From 2002 to 2004, Mr Ahmad studied at the Lasalle College of the Arts, where Ms Teo had also gone. Since April 2020, he has worked as a  Creative Manager at Razer.

A press release from the Singapore Police Force reads, “On 3 July 2007, Felicia’s mother lodged a police report informing that her daughter had gone missing since 29 June 2007. Investigation officers conducted extensive investigations, but were unable to locate her then. Police investigations ascertained that she was last seen at a male friend’s residential unit at Marine Terrace. The Police interviewed the friend and the suspect who were believed to have last seen Felicia at the residential unit at that point of time. Both men maintained that Felicia had left the residential unit at Marine Terrace in the wee hours of 30 June 2007 on her own accord.”

Meanwhile, in a Facebook post that has been shared over 2000 times, Ms Siti Rahainah wrote a letter to Ms Teo, who had been one of her best friends for many years.

“The night before my wedding, you called me and we had a short chat. You said you were heading out and that you’d see me at home in the morning. I told you to take care and that I couldn’t wait to see you and Ana. How was I to know… that would be our last conversation?

I am so sorry Fel. I’m sorry that I couldn’t protect you like how you used to protect me. I’m sorry that I wasn’t there for you.

13 years is a very long time for you to be away. I miss you so, so much. I hope that we can find you soon so that you can be put to rest and be at peace. I love you, forever and always.”

Jaywalker spotted taking his own sweet time to cross the road

Singapore – A video of an uncle taking his time to cross the road illegally, disregarding an incoming vehicle’s honking is circulating online, spurring netizens to ask if it was his grandfather’s road.

On Tuesday (Dec 22), Facebook page ROADS.sg shared a Stomp video of a man in a grey shirt taking his time to cross the road despite an oncoming vehicle’s attempt through honking to inform him of the potential dangers of jaywalking.

“Mr Tan was driving along Jurong West Avenue 5 on Monday (Dec 21) when he noticed a pedestrian in the middle of the road taking his own time and ignoring a car honking at him,” read the caption. “Could his grandfather’s name be ‘Jurong?'”

“The old man, think his Ah Gong/Grandfather Road, he just doesn’t care,” commented netizen Bernard Soh on the incident.

To those who backed the uncle, noting he could be hearing impaired, one CH Yong wondered if jaywalking could be justified in this scenario. “Don’t know why people are defending the old man. Jaywalking is already an offence, yet he is still jaywalking, and some more take his own sweet time. I bet if it is a young dude, people would already start scolding.”

In July last year, a woman was sent flying through the air and onto another car after being hit by a vehicle while jaywalking along Balestier Road.

A similar incident occurred in April of the same year along Lavender Street near Kempas road, when a woman engrossed on her phone while jaywalking was hit by an oncoming taxi, knocking her off her feet and onto the road.

According to Rule 22 of the Highway Code, pedestrians at a light-controlled crossing must wait on the footway until the traffic in front has come to a standstill.

Pedestrians are also required to keep a lookout for errant motorists regardless of how long the lights have turned in their favour.

Furthermore, jaywalking is considered a road traffic offense with the implementation of the pedestrian crossing rules under the Road Traffic Act. Under these rules, a jaywalker is liable to be fined S$50 starting Apr 1, 2019, an increase from the previous S$20 fine.

Goo Hara’s mother gets 40% of inheritance

Goo Hara’s mother gets 40% of inheritance

Seoul — A South Korean family court has ruled that the late K-pop star Goo Hara’s inheritance be divided 6:4 between her surviving family members, after waiting for nearly nine months.

News outlet Soompi reported that the Gwangju Family Court has ordered Goo’s brother Ho-in be given 60 per cent while Goo’s estranged mother receives 40 per cent from Goo’s inheritance.

In March this year, Ho-in had filed against their mother after she claimed 50 per cent of his sister’s inheritance.

Despite being absent for most of their lives and giving up parental rights and custody, Goo’s mother claimed to be the late singer’s direct kin. Goo’s father has given his share of the inheritance to Ho-in. Based on Korean law if someone dies without any surviving spouse or offspring, their parents are able to receive their inheritance even if they did not personally raise them except in extremely rare cases such as murder or the falsification of a will.

“This meant parents who abandoned their children can return and claim their inheritance after their death.”

The lawyer representing Ho-in, Noh Jong Eon stated that they were looking into appealing against the decision.

40 per cent of her inheritance goes to Goo Hara’s mother. Picture: Instagram

“This is a very unusual judgment, so it requires thought,” Noh told the Maeil business newspaper.

According to reports, Ho-in and Hara were taken care of by their grandmother when they were young while their father worked odd jobs all over the country to earn an income for their family.

After being abandoned by their mother, Ho-in said Hara was traumatised. On Nov 24 last year, Goo was found dead at her home in Seoul. She is a former member of girl group Kara. She was only 28.

She launched her solo career after performing with Kara from 2008 to 2015. The singer had just finished a tour of Japan with the latest release of her single before her passing.

Born on Jan 3, 1991, Goo Hara, also known as Hara was a South Korean singer and actress. She was a member of the South Korean girl group Kara and had also appeared in TV dramas including City Hunter. She made her debut as a soloist in July 2015 with the release of her EP Alohara (Can You Feel It?). /TISG

Food delivery rider asks customers to indicate address clearly to avoid unnecessary costs

Singapore – A food delivery rider took to social media to request customers to provide clearer address details after failing to deliver an order with “Punggol Garden, Punggol Central” as the destination.

On Tuesday (Dec 22), Facebook user Matin See took to Complaint Singapore’s page to highlight a request for customers to input their addresses clearly to avoid failed delivery attempts. “Next time, if you want to order food, learn how to indicate your address and don’t be lazy!” wrote Mr See. “Don’t sabotage rider and make him go round wasting time and petrol and in the end earn nothing.”

“Always remember that we riders are also earning a living during this tough period and we also got family to feed.”

Mr See uploaded a screenshot of the order request with a delivery address stating “Punggol Garden, Punggol Central.”

Another screenshot attached was from GrabFood noting the order was completed without successful delivery. “As we’ll have to refund unfairly charged parties, your payment for this transaction and the order value will be reversed from your wallet,” noted the feedback advisory.

In another comment, Mr See uploaded a photo of his conversation with GrabFood customer support regarding the items’ disposal, which is the protocol before tagging the order as complete.

Members from the online community who are fellow delivery riders shared the same sentiments. “I understand how you feel,” wrote one Kylie Karl. “Some customers put the wrong block and the wrong postal code. Some like yours only put a street name, no unit number.”

He explained that the rider would call the customer for clarifications, but there were instances when they did not respond. They answer, “sorry I was taking a shower or bring my dog for a walk,” the netizen noted.

“Some of these customers don’t give full address, and don’t pick up their calls at all,” said Facebook user Melissa Chia.

Others noted it wasn’t too difficult to give the actual address to allow the rider to send the order on time. “Don’t make people’s lives difficult,” said Facebook user Catherine Tay.

Meanwhile, many wondered why the GrabFood app would accept incomplete customer details. “To be honest, I feel that Grab should not accept any address that does not contain the full address such as a unit number. This would be convenient for riders, and it is also fair for riders to not get penalized for customer’s mistakes,” said Facebook user Adelynn Amy.

Some customers mentioned that they would indicate their complete address in the notes section or send a follow up message to the driver after order placement whenever the app does not accept the details in the address section.

Sulli’s official home page to be closed, just over a year after her death

Seoul — Oct 14 this year was the first anniversary of the death of South Korean star Sulli.

It has since been announced that her official home page will be closed. A notice has been uploaded on the official sites of SM artists such as Red Velvet, Taemin and BoA stating:   “The STAR Home service will be terminated on Dec 31, 2020.”

The notice adds: “Please note that news and schedules related to SM artists can be found on Naver V Live’s ‘SM ARTIST OFFICIAL FANCLUB’ channels.”

Sulli’s official site notice states: “Thank you for using STAR Home until now. We regretfully notify you that STAR Home service has been terminated on Dec 31, 2020.”

Images and videos related to Sulli’s first solo album production are known to be uploaded on the website. Fans are reported to be sad at not being able to visit the place where photos and videos commemorate her.

Sulli was only 25 at the time of her death. Picture: Instagram

On Oct 14 last year, the beloved former girl group f(x) member was found dead in her home in Gyeonggi province due to suicide. She was only 25.

Her colleagues and fans grieved as the shocking news spread around the world.

A year later, fans are still missing her as they mark through social media the first anniversary of her passing. Many post comments such as “It’s already one year. Time passes so fast” and “I miss you”.

Sulli made her debut in 2005 as a child actress in a Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS)  drama. Later, she debuted on the K-pop music industry with f(x). She received much love and rose to fame through songs such as Pinocchio and Chu.

Recently, her mother opened up about their mother-daughter relationship and her thoughts about Sulli dating Korean hip-hop Dynamic Duo’s Choiza. He was 39 at that time.

In a documentary released by South Korean television broadcaster MBC titled, Why Were You Uncomfortable With Sulli?, her mother talks about the singer’s childhood, her casting in the Ballad of Seodong, her opinion of Choiza, and her reaction to the news of her daughter passing away. /TISG

Sammi Cheng back on social media, says she has been mourning father’s death

Hong Kong — Pop star Sammi Cheng usually updates her social media regularly but fans were wondering what was going on when the singer did not post anything for about two months.

Her last post was on Oct 26 about actor Louis Koo’s 50th birthday celebration.

Cheng returned to social media on Sunday (Dec 20), uploading a photo of her father and revealing that he died in November. During the last month, the 48-year-old singer said, she and her sibling were preparing for their father’s funeral.

“During this period, I was adjusting my mind besides preparing quietly for my father’s funeral,” she wrote in Chinese. “My siblings and I are also taking care of my mother (who has lost her partner of many years).”

Cheng shared that her father, who was in his 80s, was hospitalised in October for more than 10 days. The singer and her siblings took turns to take care of him.

She also revealed that her 15-year-old pet dog Lucky had passed on earlier that month.

Sammi Cheng continues to work out to stay positive. Picture: Instagram

“I have experienced continuous pain after first losing Lucky, and then my dad,” Cheng wrote. “My tears fall uncontrollably occasionally when I think of them. We are mortals after all, and sometimes have to allow ourselves to be strong and vulnerable at the same time.”

The Cantopop star seemed to have recovered from her grief the following day. She made  three posts on Monday. She wished her fans a Happy Winter Solstice and thanked them for their concern and support.

Cheng wrote in her second post that her workout routine remained the same in the past two months as she believes that working out and sweating is the natural enemy to negative energy.

In her following post, she said that it felt good to pick up her motivation again and used the hashtags #positivevibes and #positiveenergy.

Cheng did not speak of her husband, singer Andy Hui. The 53-year-old was caught in a cheating scandal with actress Jacqueline Wong in April last year. He has not posted anything on social media since a post on Lucky on Oct 7. /TISG

Kylie Jenner shares photo of Stormi with expensive bag

Stormi, Kylie Jenner’s daughter is turning three on February 1, 2021. The 23-year-old makeup mogul shared on Tuesday that she is ‘not ok’ that her little one was growing up so fast as she uploaded photos of the mini fashionista.

The toddler posed stylishly with her cute face at Kylie’s USD36.5 million (SGD48.7 million) Holmby Hills estate as her mother took her photos. Stormi donned a white knit tank top with a pair of pint-sized brown leather trousers looking all mature.

The only daughter of Kylie and Travis Scott looked chic like her parents wearing a pair of silver and blue shoes and sporting a blue Prada bag worth USD800 (SGD1067). The young girl’s locks were slicked back into two high buns and an array of custom jewellery spruced up the outfit. Stormi looked like a girl on the go with the bag draped over her shoulder and a cellphone in hand.

Stormi clearly inherited her photogenic side from her mother as she smiled while angling her body towards the camera. Kylie captioned the series, ‘My baby is turning 3 soon and mommy’s not ok!!!!!!,’ with the crying face emoji.

As Stormi is turning three on February 1, Kylie has been known to go all out when it comes to her daughter’s birthday. A year ago, Kylie hosted the second annual  ‘StormiWorld’ where guests were treated to an over the top display inspired by Scott’s Astroworld as they entered the party through an inflatable version of Stormi’s head.

The over the top party also had themed dimensions inspired by the toddler’s love of Trolls and Frozen including carnival rides and a huge selection of food and drinks for both adults and children. Even though the pandemic has caused them to cancel their upcoming Christmas Eve bash, the family  has largely pushed the envelope when it comes to celebrating special occasions over the past few months.

Kylie will make Stormi’s next birthday a special occasion even if on a smaller scale due to the pandemic. She and Scott may not be romantically involved but the parents of Stormi have spent a large portion of quarantine together and have celebrated virtually every holiday together as a family. Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar in February this year, Kylie said that she and Scott will always make sure that Stormi is well taken care of.

‘We’re like best friends. We both love Stormi and want what’s best for her. We stay connected and coordinated. I think about [my parents] in situations with Stormi, what they would do. They were very hands-on with me, and I want the same for Stormi.’

A natural-born starlet who loves the spotlight just like her mom Kylie said being photographed just comes with the territory and Stormi seems to be acclimating accordingly.

‘I’m just trying my best, even though she’s still little, to remind her how blessed we are and that this isn’t normal, the way we live. It’s just our life. People want to take pictures. I think she would feel differently if I was always covering her face saying, “Don’t look!”‘

Wrong lane but motorcyclist shouts obscenity and shows middle finger

Singapore — A road dispute captured by dashcam footage has gone viral online. It is a quarrel between a motorist and a motorcylist, with the latter shouting “f*** you lah” and raising his middle finger at the driver.

On Monday (Dec 21), the driver took to YouTube to share footage of the incident that was captured by the car’s dashboard camera.

The driver used the YouTube handle “Eski Schitzer” to upload the video, explaining what had happened at the junction of Central Boulevard and Marina Gardens Drive at about 12.20 pm on Sunday (Dec 20).

The post said the motorcyclist kept in the right turn lane but rode straight ahead not once but twice. The first occasion was at the junction of Central Boulevard going into Marina Gardens Drive and the second was at the next junction going into Bayfront Avenue.

“Tried to reason with him but he just started getting abusive, hurled vulgarities and flipped the bird,” said “Eski Schitzer”. “Should keep arrogant and oblivious punks like these off the roads for the safety of others,” the post added.

The original, trimmed clip has been circulating on numerous social media platforms such as Singapore Uncensored, ROADS.sg and SG Road Vigilante.

“Eski Schitzer” uploaded the full video clip on Wednesday (Dec 23), including captions on what was going on.

The full video shows the motorcyclist going straight from the right-turn lane. The driver rolls down the window to inform the motorcyclist and his pillion rider that he was signalling to turn right. However, he received the middle finger and a “f*** you lah”.

The motorcyclist can be seen going straight on another right-turn lane, posing a danger to  another motorcycle and a van.

The driver said the incident had been reported to the traffic police and the video submitted as evidence.

Ah Boys To Men actor Maxi Lim’s wedding reception may have breached Covid-19 rules

Singapore — The wedding reception of Ah Boys To Men star Maxi Lim on Sunday (Dec 20) is being investigated by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) for allegedly flouting Singapore Covid wedding rules.

Photos of the event circulating online suggest Covid-19 safety measures had not been followed by the guests.

Lim and his wife, influencer Lizy Teo, registered their marriage towards the end of March and found it the “most socially responsible thing to do” to postpone the wedding reception as the pandemic worsened.

The couple eventually held their reception at One Degree 15 Marina in Sentosa Cove on Sunday. However, it appears that some of the people there did not comply with the Covid-19 safety rules.

Photos and videos circulating on social media platforms such as Instagram show those at the wedding reception intermingling and not wearing face masks.

In addition, Ah Boys To Men cast members Joshua Tan, Noah Yap, Charlie Goh, influencer Nicole Choo, comedians Fakkah Fuzz and Jai Kishan, and emcee Justin Misson, among others, were spotted playing games and performing on stage without masks or face shields.

A member of the public complained to the STB after seeing the posts, reported tnp.sg (The New Paper) on Tuesday (Dec 22). The reader, who tipped off the publication, spoke about the importance of following the Singapore Covid wedding rules.

“I held my wedding recently, and I am aware how the guidelines may put a damper on the joyous occasion,” said the reader. “However, just like other couples who got married during this period, we know the importance of these guidelines and many of us, with constant reminders from the venue provider, followed (them) despite all the inconveniences.”

“To see a public figure ignoring such guidelines blatantly is disheartening. It is also ironic to see public figures breaking the rules when they had been advocating the public to observe safe management measures.”

The STB’s director of hotel and sector manpower, Ms Tan Yen Nee, told TNP that it was investigating the matter.

“STB… takes a serious view of any breach in safe management measures within hotel premises… Strict enforcement action will be taken against errant businesses or individuals, which may include fines, temporary closure and prosecution to the full extent of the law,” said Ms Tan.

The rules currently in place note wedding receptions cannot exceed 100 attendees split across multiple zones of up to 50 people each. Furthermore, receptions with more than 20 attendees are required to be split into a designated core wedding party of up to 20 people, including the bride and groom, and groups of up to five people for the remaining guests.

Attendees should also maintain a safe distance of at least 1 m between the core wedding party and other groups at all times. This includes photo-taking.

Meanwhile, event emcees and people delivering speeches on stage are required to wear masks or face shields. Live performances are prohibited under the Singapore Covid wedding rules.

According to One Degree 15 Marina’s acting general manager, Mr Jonathan Sit, its operations team is required to brief the couple and wedding coordinators on the necessary safety measures. It also goes through the programme to ensure there are no games, singing or shouting.

“Should there be breaches during the wedding, our staff and managers will immediately tell the guests and even the wedding couple to stay in their seats,” said Mr Sit. He did not, however, provide a statement on the allegations made, TNP noted.

First-time offenders of the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act will face a fine of up to S$10,000, imprisonment of up to six months, or both. Repeat offenders could be fined up to S$20,000, imprisoned for up to 12 months, or both. /TISG
