'He was jealous': Woman allegedly slashed with knife for chatting with 2 men below Jurong West block, Singapore News

AsiaOne11-07-2025
A woman suffered facial wounds after a man allegedly attacked her with a knife at the void deck of a Jurong West block.
The incident occurred at Block 965 Jurong West Street 93 at about 6.40pm on Thursday (July 10), reported Shin Min Daily News.
A reporter from the Chinese evening daily at the scene saw police officers identifying evidence, which included a fruit knife.
It was reported that the woman's face was covered in blood and sported two forehead wounds, with one cut about four centimetres long. A male victim also suffered minor head injuries.
Responding to AsiaOne's queries, the police confirmed they had received a call for assistance, and that a 64-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman sustained minor injuries but refused to be taken to hospital.
A 66-year-old man sustained minor injuries and was conscious when taken to the hospital. He was subsequently arrested for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapon and suspected drug-related offences.
Police seized two knives as case exhibits, and the suspected drug-related offences have been referred to the Central Narcotics Bureau. Investigations are ongoing. Attacker was jealous: Female victim
In an interview with Shin Min, the 43-year-old woman said she was talking to two men at the void deck when they were allegedly attacked.
"He was jealous of me chatting with other men, so he took a knife and hurt me and one of the men I was talking to," she claimed.
The other man in the trio, who escaped unhurt, said the elderly alleged attacker became angry after seeing them together and had tried to pull the woman away.
"The uncle went home, hid the knife under his shirt, and returned to attack the (first) man chatting with us before slashing (the woman)," alleged the 62-year-old, who is wheelchair-bound.
He added that it was fortunate the two victims suffered only superficial injuries and were not stabbed.
The police apprehended the attacker at his home, according to the report.
Residents told Shin Min they had seen the woman and the alleged attacker entering and leaving the same residential unit but were uncertain of their relationship. The uninjured man said he thought the two were a couple.
But the woman denied they were in a relationship, saying that they were "neighbours".

Injured dancer Lee Kai Yin shares first photo of face since Mirror accident in 2022

Find out what's new on ST website and app. Lee Kai Yin shared a recent photo of himself (left) on social media on July 23. Hong Kong dancer Lee Kai Yin has shared a close-up photo of himself for the first time in three years. The 30-year-old, also known as Ah Mo, was critically injured in July 2022 when a giant LED screen fell on him during a concert by popular Hong Kong boy band Mirror at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Lee suffered a severe spinal injury and was in critical condition for more than a month. Reports then said he faced the possibility of being paralysed from the neck down. Hong Kong media said he has left the territory to continue his treatment overseas. On July 23, Lee shared on Instagram several photos, including one of himself in a wheelchair. Although filters were used on the face, the tattoos on his chest and one of his arms matched those in old photos of him. A scar was seen near his collarbone in the latest photo, which was probably caused by a tracheostomy tube in his neck. 'It's me!' he wrote in English, before adding in Chinese: 'I was encouraged by what the daughter of an optical shop owner said yesterday, so I'm going to share some of the little things which made me feel good lately and see if I can pick up energy from you all.' Lee shared a picture of the items on his table, including K-pop girl group NewJeans' official light stick, three Teletubbies figures, two photos of a sunset and two pictures of cats.

Microsoft says some SharePoint server hackers now using ransomware

[WASHINGTON] A cyber-espionage campaign centred on vulnerable versions of Microsoft's server software now involves the deployment of ransomware, Microsoft said in a late Wednesday (Jul 23) blog post. In the post, citing 'expanded analysis and threat intelligence', Microsoft said a group it dubs 'Storm-2603' is using the vulnerability to seed the ransomware, which typically works by paralysing victims' networks until a digital currency payment is made. The disclosure marks a potential escalation in the campaign, which has already hit at least 400 victims, according to Netherlands-based cybersecurity firm Eye Security. Unlike typical state-backed hacker campaigns, which are aimed at stealing data, ransomware can cause widespread disruption depending on where it lands. The figure of 400 victims represents a sharp rise from the 100 organisations catalogued over the weekend. Eye Security says the figure is likely an undercount. 'There are many more, because not all attack vectors have left artifacts that we could scan for,' said Vaisha Bernard, the chief hacker for Eye Security, which was among the first organisations to flag the breaches. The details of most of the victim organisations have not yet been fully disclosed, but on Wednesday, a representative for the National Institutes of Health confirmed that one of the organisation's servers had been compromised.

The news of the compromise was first reported by The Washington Post. Other outlets said the hacking campaign had breached an even broader range of US agencies. NextGov, citing multiple people familiar with the matter, reported the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had been hit, along with more than five to 12 other agencies. Politico, which cited two US officials, said multiple agencies were believed to have been breached. DHS' cyberdefense arm, Cisa, did not immediately return a message seeking comment on the reports. Microsoft did not immediately return a message seeking further details on the ransomware angle of the hacking or the reported government victims. The spy campaign began after Microsoft failed to fully patch a security hole in its SharePoint server software, kicking off a scramble to fix the vulnerability when it was discovered. Microsoft and its tech rival, Google-owner Alphabet, have both said Chinese hackers are among those taking advantage of the flaw. Beijing has denied the claim. REUTERS
