  "account": "A 28-year-old woman, Tang Pei Si, filed a false police report against her boyfriend, a 60-year-old bus driver, after he did not spend time with her while on duty. According to Shin Min Daily News, Tang claimed her boyfriend had stolen money from her and physically assaulted her. Her actions disrupted the passengers on the bus, forcing her boyfriend to stop the vehicle and wait for the police. Tang pleaded guilty to one charge of filing a false report on August 21, 2024, and was sentenced to four days in jail. Investigations revealed that the false report was made on October 6, 2024, just a few months into their 10-year relationship. Her boyfriend, who commuted daily from Malaysia to Singapore by motorcycle, would bring lunch for Tang as she faced financial difficulties. On the day of the incident, she arrived at the interchange at 2pm for him to bring her lunch, but he only arrived at 2:25pm due to bad weather. After lunch, he was ready to go to work, but Tang prevented him from leaving, angry that he did not have time for her. She borrowed S$400 from him earlier, which he refused to give back, further upsetting her. She boarded the bus he drove at 2:43pm, sat on the front seat, and called the police, falsely accusing him of theft, assault, and twisting her hand. Three passengers had to disembark while the bus waited for officers to arrive. During police investigations, Tang admitted to filing the false report due to a personal relationship dispute.",
