A MAN in his late 30s lost more than $750 in cash and valuables while he was asleep in his flat at Block 257, Jurong East Street 24.
He left two cellphones worth a total of $750, and a wallet containing cash and personal documents near a window before going to bed on Tuesday night. When he woke up the following morning, he found the window opened and the items missing.
People should not put their valubles in case someone steal it,we also must keep our own valuables in safe places.

X'mas drowning at Clarke Quay
TWO divers from the Singapore Civil Defence Force recovered the body of a 32-year-old Singaporean who apparently drowned in the Singapore River at Clarke Quay near Liang Court.
Mr Tan Beng Sien, had fallen into the river at about 5.30am and a member of the public called the police.
He was alone and was wearing a black polo T-shirt and long pants.
SCDF officers who were called to the scene used an amphibious vehicle to scour the area while two divers searched underwater for about two hours before they spotted his body. Tan was found submerged about two metres deep and three metres away from the bank near where a pub is located.
Ambulance officers pronounced him dead when he was brought ashore at 7.20am.
His China-born wife was too distraught and declined comment when approached at the couple's home in Hougang. Police are treating the case as unnatural death and are investigating said police spokesman Humphrey Sew.
This is the second drowning in the Singapore River in a week.
On Dec 19, security guard Saran Saunthara Pandian drowned near Robertson Quay after he apparently dived into the waters in a bid to save a woman whom he heard had fallen in.
It was reported he managed to pull her to safety, but he was swept away before he could climb out of the water.
Now I am thinking that maybe the Singapore river is not safe,there are two cases of drowning.

Tricked into carrying heroin
A 52-YEAR-OLD Singaporean, who accepted free air tickets from her 'benefactors' to seek medical treatment overseas, was duped into becoming a drug courier, reported China Press.
She was arrested at an international airport in Sweden for possessing 5kg of heroin in her luggage.
The drug is said to be of high quality and worth RM3.3 million (S$1.39 million) in the market.
The victim, who was reportedly suffering from haemorrhoids, had first befriended her Nigerian benefactors in Kuala Lumpur several months ago. The Nigerians then agreed to sponsor her air tickets to South America and Europe where she could seek advice from medical experts to treat her ailment.
It was reported that the victim, who worked as a security guard, did not realise that the Nigerians were actually members of an international drug syndicate. -- THE NATION
People often got tricked,because they like to save some money or trust some person too much.

Online friends to underage sex
SEX makes babies - that was all the girl said she knew about sex when she was 11 years old, the age at which she lost her virginity.Now 13, she recounted matter-of-factly how she met her first boyfriend on the social networking site Friendster last year. They started exchanging messages before taking their online relationship offline, going out in groups with other people they knew from the Internet. Then one day, weeks after their first online encounter, she found herself alone at home. Her mother and siblings were not home.
She was online, chatting with the boy, then 16, whom she laughingly described as an 'Ah Beng'. He asked her out, but she invited him to her home instead. 'He said he wanted to meet me but I didn't want to go out, so I wanted him to come to my house. My mother didn't allow me to go out,' she said.
She was worried that her mother would call home to check on her whereabouts, something her mother always did when she was out. Asked if she thought they would end up having sex, she said it never crossed her mind. But as things turned out, they did. He had a condom with him, she said.
After that day, the pair drifted apart. He was busy with a part-time job as a waiter. And he was, as she put it, 'MIA' or missing in action, for a few weeks.
I think the girl is too silly,maybe she did not know about underage sex.

Suicide act turns real
AN ACTOR slit his throat on stage when the prop knife for his suicide scene turned out to be a real one.
Daniel Hoevels, 30, slumped over with blood pouring from his neck while the audience broke into applause at the 'special effect', the Guardian reported on Thursday.
Police are investigating whether the knife was a mistake or a murder plot. They are questioning the rest of the cast, and backstage hands with access to props; they will also carry out DNA tests. According to The Guardian, things went wrong at Vienna's Burgtheater as Mr Hoevels' character went to 'kill himself' in the final scene of Friedrich Schiller's Mary Stuart, about Mary Queen of Scots, on Saturday night It was only when he did not get up to take a bow that people realised something had gone wrong.
Though bleeding profusely, Mr Hoevels survived because the knife missed the carotid artery as it sliced into his neck. Wolfgang Lenz, a doctor who treated him, said: 'Just a little bit deeper and he would have been drowning in his own blood.'
I feel if someone plan this he is very smart,but only smart in a wrong way.About the man who got hurt,he is really smart to remember to get help!

Smoking ban extended
THE short list of public places still open to smokers will shrink even further next month when a nationwide smoking ban is extended to hotel lobbies and carparks, among other areas.
The ban, part of a drive to stamp out smoking that began nearly four decades ago, comes into effect on Jan 1. It will include non-air-conditioned offices, lift lobbies, multi-storey carparks and anywhere within five metres of the entrances and exits of buildings.
The move is aimed at 'protecting the public from second-hand smoke', said Mr Khoo Seow Poh, director-general of public health with the National Environment Agency (NEA). Other places that have stubbed out smoking in public include Ireland, Sweden, Britain, India and Hong Kong.
In Singapore, smoking is already banned in all nightspots, hawker centres, restaurants and community clubs, among other places. Any smoker who ignores the ban can be fined a maximum of $1,000. Operators who fail to advise their patrons against lighting up can also be fined.
I really hate people smoking,whenever I saw people that I know smoking,I will stop them.And my grandma like to smoke so much that she can finesh a packet one or two days,but whenever I tell her not to smoke,she will say 'I already so old,so just let me smoke.'For this,I do not know how to reply her!

Final farewell to 'angel'
A TORRENTIAL tropical rainstorm beat down from darkened skies on Thursday as mourners began a funeral mass for Singapore's 'angel' killed by armed militants in Mumbai over a week ago. Ms Lo, 28, a lawyer, was one of at least 188 people, including 22 foreigners, killed in a shooting and grenade rampage by 10 militants who terrorised Mumbai for 60 hours last week. Ms Lo's death has jolted the nation, and sparked off an outpouring of grief and support for her family. Hundreds of Singaporeans, including cabinet ministers and the President, have turned out during the week for her wake.I saw the TV,many people that do not know her feel sad too.The woman is so pityful,just so young then pass away.I FEEL SAD FOR HER TOO!

Cyber-safety for kids
A CHILD can hit a wrong key while Googling, and land in an undesirable site.This scenario prompts housewife Magdalene Teo, 42, and her husband to stay vigilant when their 11-year-old son does online research at home. Parents like her who wrestle with cyber-safety for children are comforted that a government-appointed council has suggested that an agency be created to help shield minors from the Internet's dark side. The Advisory Council on the Impact of New Media on Society (Aims) said dangers will multiply and these include cyber-bullies, Web addiction and harmful content, for instance, sites glorifying hate speech. I also often hit a wrong key while Googling,and saw something weird.So whenever I surffing the internet,I always check that did I make a mistake before I press ENTER.
