SINGAPORE - Love, says Rachel Lim, shaking her head, is not violence. Love and violence cannot co-exist.
It is advice she wants to dispense to every woman who is in a violent or abusive relationship. Get out. No one should live with violence, says the 29-year-old content strategist.
Her conviction is borne out of experience - she was involved with a brutal man who almost killed her.
In August 2017, when she refused the demands of her former boyfriend - a doctor - for sex, he became so enraged that he smashed her face with his fists, breaking her nose, leaving multiple fractures and causing her brain to bleed.

On April 15, an Instagram user by the name of plusian don posted a black-and-white photo of himself and Ha-na, with the caption: A nice, young child who dreamed of becoming an actress. At the young age of 23, she turned into a small flower bud and flew up to heaven.

Chinese authorities are investigating after a truck driver took his own life after he was allegedly fined 2,000 yuan (S$410) because his satellite navigation had become disconnected.
The incident has highlighted problems encountered by domestic users of theChinese-made BeiDou Navigation Satellite System , which the Chinese government hopes will rival the US’ Global Positioning System (GPS).
The truck driver, surnamed Jin, killed himself on Monday (April 5) afternoon during a routine transport check-in at Tangshan, Hebei province, the local government said on Weibo on Tuesday. The local police and medics had rushed to the scene, but the driver passed away in hospital.
