Minor Issues: My son lost $15,000 to scammers in one night
SINGAPORE – In February, my son and I gave an interview on The Straits Times' In Your Opinion podcast. The topic was: 'Do Gen Zs really tackle life, work differently compared with their parents?'
My son told journalist Lynda Hong that he ended up as the victim of a scam while surfing mindlessly on the internet. I was rather surprised that he shared it. It happened in the middle of 2024 and we had been keeping it within the family to respect his privacy.

Israel's defence chief threatens to retaliate for Houthi missiles
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz vowed to retaliate against Iran-aligned Houthis after his country's military intercepted a missile launched from Yemen toward Israeli territory. "The fate of Yemen is the same as that of Tehran," Katz said in a statement, referring to last month's 12-day conflict during which Israel targeted Iran's nuclear and missile programmes. "After striking the head of the snake in Tehran, we will also strike the Houthis in Yemen. Whoever raises a hand against Israel — that hand will be cut off," the statement said. Israel has threatened Yemen's Houthi movement - which has been attacking Israel in what it says is solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip - with a naval and air blockade if its attacks on Israel persist. Since the start of Israel's war in Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis, who control most of Yemen, have been firing at Israel and at shipping in the Red Sea, disrupting global trade. Most of the dozens of missiles and drones they have launched have been intercepted or fallen short. Israel has carried out a series of retaliatory strikes. Mike Huckabee, U.S. President Donald Trump's ambassador to Israel, posted on X: "We thought we were done with missiles coming to Israel, but Houthis just lit one up over us in Israel. Fortunately, Israel's incredible interception system means we go to the shelter & wait until all clear. Maybe those B2 bombers need to visit Yemen!" Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart was known worldwide for his fiery Christian sermons. WASHINGTON - US televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, who developed a worldwide following for his fiery Christian sermons before being felled in a prostitution scandal, died on July 1 at the age of 90. Mr Swaggart's death from a heart attack at a hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was announced on the official Facebook page of his Jimmy Swaggart Ministries. 'Brother Swaggart has finished his earthly race and entered into the presence of His Savior, Jesus Christ,' it said. 'For over seven decades, Brother Swaggart poured out his life preaching the gospel, singing songs of the faith, and pointing millions to the saving power of Jesus Christ,' it added. Mr Swaggart, whose first cousins were rock and roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis and country singer Mickey Gilley, rose to prominence in the 1980s at the head of his Louisiana-based Pentecostal church the Assemblies of God. His televised sermons featuring fire and brimstone rhetoric and gospel music were watched by millions around the world and raised hundreds of millions of dollars in donations annually. At his height, Mr Swaggart joined the ranks of other leading Christian televangelists such as Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Jim Bakker, who was also disgraced in a sex scandal.

He made a tearful televised confession the next year. 'I have sinned against you, my Lord,' Mr Swaggart said, without providing details. 'I beg you forgive me.' Mr Swaggart was defrocked by the elders of his church, and while he continued to preach over the next decades his following and his influence had diminished. AFP

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs jury asks to review Casandra Ventura's testimony
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox The jury asked to review Ventura's testimony regarding a 2016 incident in which a surveillance camera captured footage of Combs kicking and dragging Ventura in a hotel hallway. NEW YORK - The jury deliberating in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial asked on July 1 to review portions of the testimony of Casandra Ventura, the hip-hop mogul's former girlfriend who accuses him of abusing her during their decade-long relationship. During the second day of its deliberations, the jury asked to review Ventura's testimony regarding a 2016 incident at an InterContinental hotel in Los Angeles, when a surveillance camera captured footage of Combs kicking and dragging Ventura, a rhythm and blues singer known professionally as Cassie, in a hallway. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. His lawyers acknowledge he was at times abusive in domestic relationships, but argue he never subjected Ventura to any unwanted sex act. Jurors saw the security camera footage several times throughout the trial. Prosecutors say that at the time of the incident, Ventura was attempting to leave a 'freak off' - Combs' term for a drug-fuelled sex marathon in which he would watch Ventura have sex with a paid male escort while he masturbated and sometimes filmed the act. Prosecutors say that conduct amounted to sex trafficking because Combs used force and threats to cut off financial support or release sex tapes of Ventura to coerce her to take part in the performances, and because the escorts were paid. Combs' defence pointed to tender and sexually explicit text messages that Ventura sent Combs throughout their relationship to bolster their argument that she took part in the 'freak offs' because she loved Combs and wanted to make him happy. They say the violent 2016 altercation stemmed from a dispute about Combs' relationship with another woman. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.
