Private eyes hired to check on dads
Other News & Views
MORE Singaporean children are hiring private investigators to snoop out their fathers’ “secret affairs”, reported Sin Chew Daily.
Besides being furious with their “cheating fathers”, the children were also worried that their inheritance might get passed on to the mistresses, said an investigator in an interview.
The investigator said a woman in her 20s recently caught her father entangled in an extra-marital affair with a woman in Shanghai, China.
Using photographs she got from the affair as evidence, she helped her mother apply for a divorce.
Another woman engaged an investigator to conduct a probe on her 63-year-old father’s girlfriend from China.
It was later revealed that the 26-year-old girlfriend, who claimed to be a student, was actually working at a karaoke lounge and a foot reflexology centre.
The father, whose wife had died three years ago, has since separated from his girlfriend.
Mothers cook healthy meals for students
> Fourteen mothers came together to cook healthy meals for some 350 students of SJK (C) Chin Kwang Wahyu in Parit Jawa, Muar, reported China Press.
The mothers, who have been cooking these meals since 2007, wanted the schoolchildren
to get the best food and grow up healthy and only charged the students for the cost of the food.
Li Li Fen, the 42-year-old chef of the team, said she would buy fresh ingredients from the market according to the menu provided by the school.
The menu includes a main dish of fried rice, mixed rice or porridge, served with soya bean or Ribena drinks, desserts and fruits.
