SINGAPORE - A lovers' quarrel turned violent when a man dragged his girlfriend by the hair and kicked her head repeatedly as she laid on the ground outside Rumours Beach Club in Sentosa. On Wednesday (June 23), Rahiman Rahim, 31, was sentenced to two months' jail for the four-minute assault which left the 32-year-old with injuries, including a black eye and a suspected nose fracture. One charge of not wearing a mask during the incident was taken into consideration for his sentencing. The couple have since broken up. In closed-camera television footage played in court, Rahiman can be seen kicking and stomping on the woman's head and back as well as throwing her belongings at her head while she was on the ground. Deputy Public Prosecutor Kwang Jia Min called the assault "particularly cruel" as Rahiman targeted vulnerable parts of the body and "did not relent even when the victim was lying on the ground defenceless". The court heard that the pair went to the club on July 29 last year for a drinking session with friends and got into an argument at about 8pm. Sometime between 8pm and 8.59pm, they went outside the club where he assaulted her for at least four minutes. At least seven memb...

SINGAPORE - A youth was at his mother's home last year when he instructed one of his two half-brothers, aged eight and 10, to perform a sex act on him. On another occasion, he got the other boy to do it too. The offender and the two victims have the same mother but different fathers. The 20-year-old pleaded guilty in a district court on Wednesday (June 23) to two counts of procuring the commission of an obscene act by a child. He cannot be named, as there is a gag order to protect the victims' identities. Deputy Public Prosecutor Bryan Wong said the offender went to his mother's home some time in August or September last year and played a video game with the older boy. The 10-year-old child was about to walk out of a room after losing a game when his half-brother grabbed his hand. The victim was then told to touch the youth's private parts as he had lost the game. The offender also offered to give the boy $5 to perform the act. The court heard that the child relented as he felt that the youth looked intimidating. The boy, who felt "disgusted and scared" after performing the act, declined to take the money when offered. Instead, he ran towards their mother in the living room and tol...

SINGAPORE - All new travellers arriving from high-risk countries and regions must be placed on a 14-day stay-home notice (SHN) from Wednesday (June 23), instead of 21 days, at dedicated facilities. However, they must take an antigen rapid test using self-test kits on the third, seventh and eleventh day after arriving in Singapore. The Ministry of Health said in a statement on Wednesday that while there is increased transmissibility with the new variants of concern, it found no evidence - from both overseas and local data - that these variants come with longer incubation periods. It added that since the 21-day SHN for all travellers with recent travel history to higher-risk countries or regions was implemented from May 8, there were 270 imported cases among such travellers as at Tuesday. "All of them had incubation periods well within the 14-day window. As such, we will reduce the SHN period from 21 days back to 14 days," said MOH. However, to identify potential infection cases early and provide infected travellers with appropriate medical care as soon as possible, travellers will be required to test themselves regularly with antigen rapid test kits on days three, seven and 11 of th...

SINGAPORE - Delivering quality and sustainable infrastructure has been made more challenging with the pandemic, and will be even more complex due to climate change and rapid urbanisation. But there are opportunities for partnerships and co-creation among governments, multilateral development banks and private sector, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Indranee Rajah.

Bitcoin bounces back after tumbling below US$30,000 threshold

NEW YORK (BLOOMBERG) - Bitcoin whipsawed investors by tumbling below US$30,000 for the first time since January and erasing gains for the year before recouping the day's losses. The original cryptocurrency closed out the New York trading session on Tuesday (June 22) marginally higher at around US$32,900, after falling as much as 12 per cent. The wild ride continued subsequently, since Bitcoin trades around the clock, with the digital token tracking slightly lower again. It has lost more than 50 per cent from its mid-April high of almost US$65,000. The coin started 2021 trading around US$29,000 following a fourfold increase last year. Such trading signals "that Bitcoin traders could find themselves in choppy waters for weeks to come", said Mr Sean Rooney, head of research at crypto asset manager Valkyrie Investments. Chart-watchers said Bitcoin, which failed to retake US$40,000 last week, could have a tough time finding support in the US$20,000 range following its drop below US$30,000. Still, Bitcoin had prior to Tuesday breached US$30,000 during at least five separate instances this year but recuperated to trade above that level each time.
