Singapoor Maid takes sexy photos on employer's bed



After reading the recent horror story about a maid who put menstrual blood in her employers' soup, one employer did a spot check on her maid's Facebook page.

She was shocked when she saw a photo of her Filipino maid posing suggestively on the bed in the master bedroom.

The employer deduced that the photo was taken by another person, which meant that her maid was allowing strangers into the house while everyone was at work.

The concerned employer sent the photos to citizen journalism website Stomp to warn other employers to be vigilant about their maid's activities.

She added that she had only employed this maid for two months after she was transferred from another employer.

She has already sent the maid back to the employment agency.

She said: "I also have a kid in her care and it's unnerving to know these things are happening in my own house... Employers beware. She might be transferred to you next."

Earlier this year, there was a similar incident where a domestic helper wore her employer's clothes and posted the photos online.

Jobless man in Singapoor jailed for entering female toilet, peeping at student

Foo Sai Teck, 38, pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal trespass at the female toilet of CPA House at Aljunied Road and to peeping at a 17-year-old student through a gap between the door and the floor of a cubicle last month.

A Community Court heard that on Aug 3, he went to a female toilet on the fifth level of the building and stayed in the last cubicle.

Later, a 22-year-old student walked in and saw him kneeling with his head bent towards the floor and looking into a cubicle.

A week later, Foo repeated the offence by entering another women's toilet and peeping at a 17-year-old student.

Foo has convictions for criminal trespass, molestation and insulting modesty.

He could have been jailed for up to a year and/or fined for insulting modesty. For trespass, the maximum punishment is three months' jail and a $1,500 fine.

Facebook Accused of Publishing Partner’s Passwords

113910-facebook-founder-and-ceo-mark-zuckerberg.jpgAnother person is currently claiming a stake in Zuckerberg's Facebook fortune: someone named Paul Ceglia recently claimed that the social “not-working behemoth” had used some underhand tactics in the company’s legal defense.



Paul Ceglia said that he used to have a contract that would have undoubtedly made him a Facebook partner eight years ago. Ceglia is now claiming that the social network’s hired hands from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP for some reason included his personal passwords in court papers.

According to his accusations, his private e-mail addresses and passwords were extracted from the public federal court filing. Then, he claims, they were later removed. Meanwhile, Bloomberg believes that Paul Ceglia's attorneys were outraged and for some reason took a decision to use the alleged privacy violations for leverage in court. The court papers reveal that they are claiming that counsel’s baffling misconduct caused the situation where Ceglia’s e-mail accounts were accessible to the open public for a few hours. Currently they are looking for both court sanctions and attorney fees.

In respond, the most popular social network in the world denied that an individual named Paul Ceglia had any rights to its vast, vast coffers. All they were able to disclose was that Zuckerberg had agreed to work with something under the name “StreetFax” – a start-up. However, Facebook wasn’t referenced anywhere. In its turn, the corporation claimed that Paul Ceglia was engaging in fraud and therefore wasn’t entitled to any money.

Regardless of whether or not Paul Ceglia had any right to Zuckerberg's Facebook, everyone understands that he chose to target a company with very, very deep pockets. The latter, in the meantime, is a company that doesn’t wear its heart on its sleeve. If you have seen The Social Network or just learnt something about the most amazing network in the world, connecting friends and relatives in some cases tighter than any other means of communication, you would know that Facebook’s history was all over the lawsuits with claims that someone’s taken part in developing Facebook’s idea.

With the case continuing, we’ll whether this person is simply trying to turn a buck, or whether the social network is more worried than it’s letting on.

Yahoo Fired Its CEO

yahoo_logo.jpgYahoo is reported to fire its CEO Carol Bartz by phone. If some of you remember, she was hired with great fanfare, and the move was targeted at saving the search giant from obscurity. Nevertheless, she didn’t do a lot, except making a deal with Microsoft.


Yahoo has recently released a statement, saying that Bartz had been “removed” from her position. The post will be taken by Timothy Morse, chief financial officer, for now. Yahoo will then be looking for someone else.

According to media reports, Carol Bartz sent a goodbye letter to employees from her tablet, saying that she was very sad to tell everyone she had been fired over the phone by the company’s chairman of the board. Carol expressed her pleasure to work at the company and wished everyone the best.

Meanwhile, Yahoo has consistently lost ground on advertising within the past years. For example, even Facebook seems to overtake Yahoo in 2011 and collect the biggest slice of Internet display advertising dollars in the United States.

Carol Bartz was hired by Yahoo 2 years ago to replace its co-founder Jerry Yang, who also failed to turn the search engine around. When she joined the company, Yahoo’s shares were trading for around $12. However, when Wall Street heard of her exit, the shares jumped more than 6% in after-hours trade to $13.72. Later Wall Street lost interest in Carol Bartz, because she didn’t do that much. Moreover, she mishandled the Yahoo’s strained relationship with Chinese Alibaba Group, which had handed Alipay to the search engine. Alipay was controlled by Alibaba founder Jack Ma, most likely without the search giant’s knowledge. Meanwhile, Alibaba was claiming that the company was fully aware of the transaction.

Just in the beginning of this past summer, Yahoo chairman Roy Bostock for some reason gave his public support to Carol Bartz at Yahoo’s annual general meeting. This seems strange when compared with the decision to fire her by phone just three months later.

One of the interesting facts of Carol Bartz’s career is that she once went as far as to tell Michael Arrington, the owner of the Techcrunch service to “f*** off” during an interview at some industry event. By a coincidence, Michael Arrington quit his company at the same time that Bartz was fired. In other words, it seems that they were both “f***ed off” at the same time. Yahoo's senior executive, who later worked for AMD, claimed that the company’s building in Satan Clara has bad feng shui. It seems that Carol Bartz will now agree with him.

Lankans stealing abandoned cars in Dubai

http://chatter-fest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/hijacking.jpgSix men — four Sri Lankans and two Syrians — have been accused of forming a gang that specialised in stealing cars that had been abandoned by their owners on the streets of Dubai for months.

Prosecutors said the six men would search for deserted cars that had Dubai Municipality warning notices on their windshields.

Then they would wash the cars before breaking the locks open, cutting new keys and driving off, reported Gulf News.

When the defendants appeared before the Dubai Court of First Instance yesterday, they pleaded not guilty.

According to the charge sheet, prosecutors said the suspects, aged between 23 and 46, stole a victim’s Toyota Previa car from the Al Qusais Area.

Prosecutors said the Sri Lankan defendants washed the car and waited for the Syrian suspects to break the lock and cut a new key. Then they gave the new key to one of the Sri Lankan suspects, 35-year-old N.H., who stole the car.

An Emirati police major told prosecutors that three of the Sri Lankan suspects had been arrested.

“They confessed that they worked for N.H. Police seized large amounts of liquor bottles hidden in the stolen Toyota,” he said.

The major told prosecutors that the three had confessed that N.H. would search for deserted cars with notices from Dubai Municipality on their windshields. The notices informed the car’s owners that the cars would be confiscated if they were not moved.

“Then they would clean the cars and wait for the Syrian suspects to open the cars and copy new keys. During questioning, the suspects confessed that they had [stolen] ten cars,” the major said.

According to records, one of the Syrian suspects would collect Dh800 for supplying new keys.

Two foreign students, both 20, met, fell in love and broke up. However, Sri Lankan Mohamed Ansar Mohamed Azeem could not get over it and posted revealing pictures of his ex-girlfriend on YouTube and called her a slut.
Under the law, this is criminal intimidation and, on Monday, he was fined $2,000. He was fined another $20,000 for having 287 obscene films stored in his laptop.
The ex-student of the Singapore Institute of Management admitted to threatening to injure the reputation of his ex-girlfriend with his homemade video.
He had taken the photographs with her consent during their relationship. After the break-up, he weaved these images into a video clip on his laptop and uploaded it on YouTube at 8am on Sept 28, 2010, with a title that included her name and the words 'slut in Singapore'.
