Internet trolls SMRT Feedback Ltd have released shockingly intimate details about 22 year-old Syaikhah Izzah Zahrah Al Ansari, who besides being a minah fairing jambu and the first radicalized female citizen in Singapore to be detained, was revealed to be the daughter of 2 freelance religious teachers.

The news was first reported on Channel News Asia this afternoon, but was later hastily removed. This did not escape the eyes of netizens, who posted on social media site Reddit Singapore, asking why the article had been removed. Some netizens speculate that the news had been embargoed.

43 people at a PAP Community Foundation Sparkletots pre-school in Clementi have been infected with tuberculosis (TB). This follows shocking revelations that one of the staff members at the pre-school had been diagnosed with active TB on 3 March this year.

I send my little one to her playgroup class as per normal on Friday . When picking her up I realised that little one was not like her usual behaviour so i asked her why the next moment when i looked at her eyes directly it was red and there was a wound near it, as I was still at the school i asked the teacher what makes my little one eye with a wound.

54 year-old Anna Koh, alias Susie Koh, was sentenced to 5 months jail today after stealing cash totalling $79,136.30 from her then workplace at the PAP Community Foundation (PCF) at BLK 515, Jurong West Street 52. She was the principal of the center.

My younger daughter who is attending childcare at PCF Sparkletots preschool @ Taman Jurong Block 161 was molested in schoool yesterday during her afternoon nap time. The boy who molested her was her 6 year old malay classmate. When my daughter was sound asleep, this malay boy sneak up to her and put his hand inside of her school skirt(with a shorts attached) and started carressing her private part. The boy's action shocked my daughter up from her sleep and in a state of shock and daze, she tried to stop the boy from touching her any further but the boy kept on forcing his way through.

On Tuesday, two principals from PAP Community Foundation centres were charged in Court for misappropriating cash amounting up to $100,000. Bavani V R Kumaran was charged with 2 counts of CBT (Criminal Breach of Trust) while she was Principal of PCF sparkletots Preschool in Ang Mo Kio. Bavani had used $13,540 for her personal use. Similarly, Anna Koh aka Susie Koh was charged with 4 counts of CBT for misappropriating $79,200 of PCF funds while she was the centre's Principal.

I like to inform you besides PCF and NTUC's My First Skool, other childcare centre are also increasing childcare school fees. My son goes to YMCA childcare and look what I received on 25 September? YMCA follow in PCF and MyFirstSkool footsteps to up the school fees. All cite the same usual excuses for the increase.

It states that “During this period, all Singaporean and permanent resident children in the centres will enjoy a rebate equivalent to the fee increase amount,” PCF said. This means the new fees will only take effect from July 1 next year. “We are reaching out to all parents to inform them of this rebate,” the PCF said.” Does this not sound familiar? Increase fees and then give a temporary rebate due to the public furore over the fee increase when profits increased by 24.7 per cent over the previous year!

According to the PCF’s 2014 Financial Statement – its surplus for the year increased from $942,861 (Jan 1 to Dec 31 2013) to $1,469.575 (Jan 1 2014 to Mar 31 2015). This is an increase of 24.7 per cent ($1,175,660 divided by $942,861) compared to the previous year. With such a huge increase in the surplus (profits) – is the across the board increase in fees justified?
