Singapore Teens Pretend to be Underage on Dating Apps, Lure Pedophiles and Then Blackmail Them
Two teens pretended to be underage, looking for sexual encounters on dating apps like Grindr and hook-up groups on Telegram in an attempt to lure pedophiles and then blackmail the unsuspecting users. Last November, a 24-year-old victim showed up at a Bukit Batok void deck for a meet-up, when Shaaqir Noor'rifqy bin Mohammed Noorrizat and his 17-year-old accomplice confronted the man and extorted SGD $2,000 in exchange for not exposing him. The teens were arrested later that day. Teens Planned to Extort Money from Victims According to court documents obtained by Mothership, Shaaqir had come up with the plan to pose as underage males or females on online dating apps to lure pedophiles and extort money from them. His co-accused, referred to only as B1 in court documents, cannot be named under the Children and Young Persons Act. Both teens then posed as underage male and female individuals looking for sex on dating apps like Grindr and Telegram hook-up groups. One such victim, a 24-year-old man, was messaged by one of them on Grindr, claiming to be a 15-year-old male. During the conversation, they asked the victim to meet up for sex, and he agreed. Teens Blackmailed the Victim for $2,000, Threatened to Show Recording to His Parents, Law Enforcement On Nov. 6, 2024, at about 12:20am, the victim showed up at the void deck of 464B Bukit Batok West Ave 8 for the meet-up. There, he was confronted by Shaaqir and B1, one of whom was recording him with a phone. They asked him why he wanted to meet an underaged male for sex and threatened to show the recording to his parents or the police. When the victim asked what they wanted from him, the teens told them they would keep it a secret in exchange for money. The man agreed and went to withdraw S$2,000, with the teens following him. After he handed over the S$2,000, they deleted the recording in front of him. Prosecutors said that the teens had used the same method to extort money from at least three more victims. Teens Arrested, Shaaqir Pleaded Guilty to Extortion Charges The teens were arrested at 11pm on Nov. 6 and a sum of S$2,150 was recovered from them. Both later admitted to committing the offence in their accounts. Shaaqir pleaded guilty in court to one charge of extortion on Jul. 4, according to The Straits Times. The prosecution said in its submissions that given Shaaqir's age, it would not object to the calling of probation and reformative training suitability reports for him. Two other charges will be taken into consideration for his sentencing. B1's case is pending before the courts.

Passenger at Bangkok's Thunder Dome: start time, tickets, potential setlist and everything you need to know
Many will recognise 'Let Her Go' – a track that leans on simple yet striking images like light, sun and home to capture the emptiness that lingers when something essential disappears after love fades. It started, as these things often do, by accident. I was at a game cafe in 2012 – one of those dim, blinking places where time collapses and teenagers subsist entirely on instant noodles and borrowed Wi-Fi – when 'Let Her Go' floated through my headphones, uninvited. I wasn't looking for poetry. I was probably mid-click, halfway through some medieval siege. But then came the line: ' Only know you love her when you let her go.' It landed with the quiet cruelty of something far too true for a Tuesday afternoon. It's 2025, and Michael David Rosenberg – though most will know him as Passenger – a British folk singer with the kind of weathered sincerity that tends to sneak up on you – is finally playing a show in Thailand. A little late, perhaps, considering his biggest song has been echoing through bedrooms, cafes and breakup playlists for well over a decade. Still, there's something fitting about it. His music has always been less about arrival and more about the long road getting there. By the time 'Let Her Go' became a global phenomenon, topping charts across continents and amassing billions of views, the moment had already passed. The track had quietly entered the bloodstream of a generation not especially prone to feeling things out loud. If 'Let Her Go' ever held a place in your personal soundtrack, this might be the moment to hear it in real time. Before the lights dim and the first chord lands, here's everything you need to know. When is Passenger playing at Bangkok's Thunder Dome? Passenger is playing in Bangkok on Friday, November 28. What are the timings? The venue doors will open at 7pm. The show is expected to begin at approximately 8pm and finish around 10.30pm What's the setlist? The official setlist for Passenger's 2025 Asia tour hasn't been released yet. However, judging by previous tours and common setlist formats, it's likely to feature a blend of fan favorites such as 'Let Her Go' and 'Things That Stop You Dreaming,' along with tracks from his most recent album. Who is supporting? There's no supporting act, it will be his solo show in Bangkok. Where else is Passenger playing in Asia? Based on current information, he is scheduled to perform in three additional locations: Wednesday November 26 Singapore at Capitol Theatre Sunday November 30 Shanghai at 蜚声PHASELIVEHOUSE Wednesday December 3 Beijing at 福浪LIVEHOUSE-福 Can you still get tickets for Passenger at Bangkok's Thunder Dome? Definitely! Tickets can still be snugged online through Thaiticket Major right here. How much do the tickets cost? Ticket prices begin at B1,500 and go up to B4,500, depending on the seating and package selected. Here's the seating plan

Scientists Just Confirmed a 67-Year-Old Hypothesis About Vitamin B1
You often need a lot of patience to be a scientist, and that's certainly been the case for researchers who have now found solid evidence for a hypothesis around vitamin B1 (or thiamine) that was first put forward almost 70 years ago. In 1958, Columbia University chemist Ronald Breslow proposed that vitamin B1 performs key metabolic processes in the body by forming a molecular structure known as a carbene. The problem: carbenes are highly unstable and reactive, and usually break down instantly in water. They should, by all accounts, be incompatible with the body's high water content. But researchers led by a team from the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside) have now managed to keep a carbene intact in water for months in their lab. "This is the first time anyone has been able to observe a stable carbene in water," says chemist Vincent Lavallo, from UC Riverside. "People thought this was a crazy idea. But it turns out, Breslow was right." Key to the breakthrough was the way the researchers were able to synthesize a "suit of armor" molecule in the lab, to wrap around the carbene and keep it intact. The team was able to use high-resolution imagery to verify the composition of the carbene. Through some other chemical tweaks on top of the protective structure, the carbene could be kept stable in water for as long as six months. It shows that carbenes can be biologically feasible, and that vitamin B1 may take on that form to do its work in the body. What's more, the researchers think that the approach they've used here could have industrial applications. Being able to stabilize carbenes could allow water to replace more toxic and dangerous substances in chemical reactions in the future, making for a cleaner way to produce things like pharmaceuticals and fuels. "Water is the ideal solvent – it's abundant, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly," says chemist Varun Raviprolu, from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). "If we can get these powerful catalysts to work in water, that's a big step toward greener chemistry." There's a twist here: the researchers were investigating the chemistry of reactive molecules in general, not looking to prove Breslow's hypothesis. It's another example of the serendipitous scientific discoveries that can sometimes come from careful research. The research also acts as a reminder not to give up on a promising idea, even after almost six decades. There's plenty more to explore here for scientists – not least why the extra protection of the molecule seemed to reduce its reactivity – but Ronald Breslow would be happy to see his prediction was right. "There are other reactive intermediates we've never been able to isolate, just like this one," says Lavallo. "Using protective strategies like ours, we may finally be able to see them, and learn from them." "Just 30 years ago, people thought these molecules couldn't even be made. Now we can bottle them in water. What Breslow said all those years ago – he was right." The research has been published in Science Advances.
