I do not think he did this on purpose; but on an impulse, he could not get across what he really mean to deliver.I noticed that this is fairly common amongst those whom are educated in Spore. (Yes, I am blaming the education system). Even our journalists, when on live reporting, many simply cannot express the situation (sometimes opinion) in a natural way without being painful.

JEFFJEFF Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 SINGAPORE: A gynaecologist on Tuesday pleaded guilty in a district court to having sex with a minor -- despite knowing she was more than 40 years his junior when he met her for the first time.63-year-old Ong Theng Kiat pleaded guilty to two charges of having sex with a minor and agreed to have 11 other charges that included oral sex taken into consideration.Ong has temporarily stopped practising as a gynaecologist, as of July.The court heard that Ong got to know the girl in 2011 through a dating website -- when she was 14 years old, and he, 61. She had indicated on her profile that she was 18 as that was the minimum age required to register an account on the website.Ong sent the girl a lengthy message and the pair then exchanged phone numbers and began texting each other. It was through these texts that the girl informed Ong that she was 14 years old. After he had asked her to meet up, the court heard that the pair eventually met four times -- in September 2011 and sometime in early 2012.The court was told that at their first meeting in September, Ong drove her to Bukit Brown Cemetery, located along Lorong Halwa, where she changed out of her school uniform.Ong told the girl that he was 40 years old and that his work was related to stocks. Later, he took her to a hotel where they had sex. He then asked her to take two morning-after pills.Then in early 2012, Ong picked the girl up from school and proceeded to the cemetery, where they had sex in the backseat of his car.Ong's lawyers, Mr Subhas Anandan and Ms Diana Ngiam, submitted a psychiatric report to the court to show that there was a causal link between his offences and his major depressive disorder.However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Sharmila Sripathy-Shanaz said that there were several aggravating factors -- such as the wide age disparity, and the evidence that Ong had intended to engage in sexual activity from the first meeting.She also pointed out that Ong had taken the girl to the cemetery for the trysts -- which would be far from the public eye -- and had given the girl contraceptives, which would not have been readily available to her.Ong is likely to be sentenced on November 11.

Guest Guest Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Third year communications undergraduate Toh Ee Ming, 21, was on the second floor at clothing store H&M with her friends at about 10:15pm when she noticed a commotion and a lot of people rushing downstairs."The panels had fallen and there were a lot of pipes on the floor and wires dangling (from the ceiling)," she told Yahoo Singapore, adding that the section of ceiling that had fallen took up a whole walkway that spanned approximately three stores in length. "We couldn't access the area and were at a spot where we couldn't see properly which shops were affected… we were told to evacuate very quickly."She added that the mood among the crowd wasn't panicky, however — in fact, people were "quite excited" by what had happened."The staff kept raising their voices at us to stop taking photos and leave quickly, but a lot of people continued to stand there and take photos," Toh said. "A lot of people were quite excited by what had happened; they were joking about how the place was flooding and they had to run for their lives!" :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY IS THE POLICE STILL NOT THERE YET? how efficient. thirdly, look at the staff over there, non of them are even trained to handle such situation. instead of just going through this rat race in Singapore, ppl shld actually educate themselves, how to handle such situation. wad for your take videos like that? to embarrass them? makes you happy? at the very least, the public should at least have a sympathetic heart right? wad have you learnt in schools???

gongtang Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 "This is why mental illness should be a public health concern and the general public should be properly educated on what mental illness really is. It is quite unfortunate to see that not one person in this supermarket had minimal knowledge on how to respond and react to this situation... Instead, they just kept on filming her and saying that she's "crazy" like she's a wild animal prancing around its habitat.

Suddenly because something happened to change you, you suddenly become more morally upright and are allowed to criticise them? Ask yourself why it had to take a similar situation happening to your friend for you to begin to have the ability to empathise instead of you having the ability to be considerate to other people right from the start. And now you are criticising others for not having the ability to empathise when you didn't have any when it came to a stranger. I don't think you have the right to criticise. I agree that the situation could have been handled much better. But ranting and criticising really helps nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how reading your post helps the situation any. Were there any constructive advice on how to improve the situation that we can send to the mental health awareness council or something? So according to you, if it is not mental illness means it's ok to take videos of other people without their consent? How do you verify whether they have mental illness or not before taking video of them? So what happened to caring about other people's feelings? So hypocritical. I know it's very convenient to push the blame away by saying oh you were just a kid and you're ignorant. Well ignorant or not, you still did it. So heavily criticising others when you are just as bad is just lame. You say that I can't say what I said when I don't know you. Then what gives you the right to say those things about other people when you don't know them? If you were really sympathetic, you should be able to see that. Come on, you're just full of irony la.

Guest Guest Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/assistant-pastor/836452.html Assistant pastor sentenced to jail for sex with underage girl An assistant pastor who had oral sex with a 15-year-old church-goer has been sentenced to 16 months' jail. SINGAPORE: An assistant pastor who had oral sex with a 15-year-old church-goer has been sentenced to 16 months jail. The 46-year-old, who cannot be named to protect the girl's identity, admitted to having the girl -- who was 15-years old at the time of the acts -- perform oral sex on him on two occasions. The first was at a park along Bartley Road between end-September and early-October 2011. Then again in mid-October 2011 at the fourth level of the church, located in central Singapore. A third charge was taken into consideration. At the time of the offences, the father-of-three was planning programmes for church members, among other administrative duties. He met the girl in 2010 in the course of organising activities for the church's youth members. They got closer after an overseas mission to Myanmar. The pastor started contacting the girl via calls, explicit emails and mobile texts -- where he would ask her for sex and said he loved her. The court heard how he initiated the oral sex at the park and the victim pushed him away after a few seconds. Court documents showed that the accused asked the girl to help him out at the church with some chores. He brought the girl to the fourth level to have oral sex, while the other pastors were on the ground floor. The victim only made a report after realising what he had done was wrong. In its submissions, the prosecution said the accused was 29 years older than the girl. Prosecutor Ng Yiwen said the pastor not only abused his authority and the trust placed in him, but his actions also undermined the public's trust in the church. Mr Ng pointed out that the girl was "nothing more than a sexual plaything" to the accused, and that there was a certain degree of "moral corruption" involved. The fact that the act was performed within the church is also an aggravating factor. Thus, Mr Ng urged for a range of 12 to 20 months jail per charge. However, the defence argued that the pastor's judgement was impaired because of his work and personal environment. Lawyer Wee Pan Lee said circumstances led to him being in a depressed mood and addicted to sex. These conditions, he said, were untreated. Mr Wee asked for a jail term of between 10 and 15 months per charge, since his client was a first offender. The accused, who last worked as a hourly-paid dishwasher, could have been jailed up to 10 years, fined, and caned on each count.- CNA/ac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
