A 27-year-old man allegedly gave a 14-year-old girl cash, cigarettes, and alcohol in exchange for a handjob while her 12-year-old friend acted as lookout. The accused, Hazim Bin Yazid, pleaded guilty on June 2 to one charge of obtaining sexual services with a person under the age of 18. A second charge will be taken into consideration during sentencing. According to Shin Min Daily News, court documents revealed that Hazim frequently used Telegram and other social media platforms to message netizens, offering motorcycle hitching services and seeking out sex workers.   In September 2025, a 14-year-old girl contacted Hazim via Telegram to enquire about a motorcycle hitching service. Although she had already found another rider by the time he replied, the pair continued chatting. The teenager later told Hazim that she and her friend needed money to buy cigarettes and alcohol. She also disclosed that both of them were under the legal age of 18 and asked whether he could help purchase the items for them.   Hazim then asked whether the two girls would be willing to provide sexual services — he offered to give them between $100 and $200 to buy cigarettes and alcohol in exchange for performing oral sex on him.   The 14-year-old said she was willing, adding that her friend would accompany her and decide upon meeting whether to take part in the arrangement. The trio subsequently met on Sept 17, 2025. Teen gives 27-year-old man handjob That afternoon, Hazim drove a white company van to a multi-storey carpark near Block 293C Bukit Batok Street 21. He parked the vehicle on the 6A level, which was relatively secluded, and arranged a private-hire vehicle to ferry the two girls from Hougang to the location.   After the girls arrived, Hazim invited them to sit in the front passenger seat of the van and asked for their ages, thereby learning that both of them were underage. He then asked if they were willing to perform oral sex on him, which they refused. However, the 14-year-old girl proposed to give him a handjob in exchange for money to buy cigarettes and alcohol, while the 12-year-old offered to keep watch. After they did so, Hazim gave them $100, cigarettes, and a bottle of alcohol. He also arranged for a private-hire car to drop them off at a mall in Serangoon. Prosecution argues for at least 5 months’ jail The prosecution argued that a fine alone would be insufficient punishment for the offence and urged the court to sentence Hazim to at least five months’ imprisonment. Hazim was arrested on Nov 4 last year, although court documents did not disclose how the authorities became aware of the offences. The prosecutor stated that the defendant knew the girl was a minor, but insisted on soliciting sexual services from her. The second charge involved the 12-year-old girl, whom Hazim allegedly attempted to entice with cigarettes, alcohol, and cash. The prosecution argued that Hazim’s act of providing cigarettes to minors was an offence under smoking laws and should be considered an aggravating factor during sentencing.

A restaurant owner is sounding the alarm on an alleged food delivery scam after she was left with almost $300 worth of food undelivered — and unpaid for. Stomper Evon, who operates Forture Seafood Steam Boat at Bukit Timah Road, said she received a pre-order for collection at 7pm on May 16. “We have a lot of customers calling for pre-order or bulk orders, and this (operates on) pure trust,” Evon told Stomp over the phone.   When she received a call from a man named B, she said the restaurant “took the order as normal”. B ordered an array of dishes such as grouper fish, cereal prawns, Mongolian style beef and pork ribs, which amounted to $298.   B ordered many items, including a fish that cost more than $90. B then called at around 7.15pm to request a delivery to his home instead, claiming that his car had broken down and he was unable to drive to the restaurant. Evon said she agreed to it as the restaurant was less than a five-minute drive away from the destination that B had provided, which was at the Floridian, a condominium along Bukit Timah Road. “He said he had transferred money to his father, so his father would be paying us,” the Stomper added. Evon had no problems with this, as there were previous instances where the restaurant collected payment upon delivery. ‘Could not pass the guardhouse’ However, Evon’s troubles began when she arrived at the condominium.   “When I reached there, the security guard said he needed to check as the unit in question has had a few issues with delivery,” Evon said. The Stomper was told that there had been at least two or three occasions that food delivery riders have turned up at the condominium, even though the unit’s occupants had not ordered food. “I called the person and he insisted that his father was waiting for the food,” Evon recounted. “I demanded that he paid me via PayNow immediately, but he refused and said he had transferred his father the money.” Based on a WhatsApp text chain seen by Stomp, Evon had asked B to make payment minutes before 8pm. However, B continued to insist that he had transferred the money to his father for payment upon delivery. “Eventually, I had no choice but to make a police report,” the restaurant owner lamented. By sharing her experience with Stomp, Evon hopes that the public — especially food and beverage businesses in the Bukit Timah area — will be more aware of the alleged scam. “I believe he will do it again,” she said. Stomp understands that the condominium has explicit instructions from residents of the said unit to reject all food deliveries unless otherwise specified. As of June 3, Evon has not heard from B or received any payment for the order. In response to a Stomp query, the police confirmed that a report was lodged.
