CHINA GOVT OFFICIAL: TAIWAN IS PART OF CHINA BECAUSE GOT 105 CHINESE EATERIES THERE

A PRC government official who is a spokesperson for China, Hua Chunying, made an earth-shattering claim that Taiwan was a part of China because there were more than 100 Chinese eateries in Taipei.

She posted a tweet on 7 August, listing the different restaurants in Taiwan, and saying that “palates don’t cheat”, drawing ridicule from online netizens.

She tried to solidify her claim by saying there are 38 Shandong dumpling restaurants and 67 Shanxi noodle restaurants in Taipei.

She said on Twitter: “Baidu Maps show that there are 38 Shandong dumpling restaurants and 67 Shanxi noodle restaurants in Taipei. Palates don’t cheat. Taiwan has always been a part of China. The long lost child will eventually return home.”

Netizens, unsurprisingly, poked fun at her reasoning, with one netizen retorting that since Taiwan has Ramen restaurants as well, that makes Taiwan a part of Japan.

Another netizen claimed that there were 8,500 KFC restaurants in China, so that means China “undoubtedly belongs to KFC”.

One more netizen added: “3,500 Mcdonalds in China. 8,000 KFCs in China. 1,200 burger kings in China. 2,500 pizza huts in China. 5,400 Starbucks in China. Your country belongs to us and soon we will come to collect.”

Another comment said that based on Hua’s logic, the whole world belongs to Italy because every town on earth had at least a pizza eater in it.

Another netizen then brought Malaysia into the drama, saying that since there are 50 Malaysian restaurants in London, it belongs to Malaysia.

WORKERS’ PARTY – S’PORE SURVIVED THE PANDEMIC, NOW WE MUST BE UNITED

The Workers’ Party (WP) shared their National Day message on Facebook, via Secretary-General and leader of the opposition Pritam Singh.

They said that WP MPs have advanced proposals in Parliament to help Singaporeans cope with the high cost of living and other concerns.

They also added that we have survived the pandemic as a nation, and we must now stay united to navigate the path ahead, with a sense of purpose, to overcome today’s challenges.

Workers’ Party’s national day message

National Day Message 2022 from The Secretary-General of The Workers’ Party

Our journey as a nation started 57 years ago, but the first stirrings of our shared identity emerged when we cast our first votes in the 1955 Legislative Assembly elections. David Marshall, Singapore’s first Chief Minister, went to London to try and achieve self-determination for Singapore. However, the British famously had reservations about our ability to survive then. Independence was thus a daunting prospect, with the odds stacked against us after separation from Malaysia in 1965.

A shortage of domestic industry, a heavy reliance on foreign businesses, and a lack of housing were all challenges that had to be overcome. Yet our pioneers overcame these through their sheer determination to make life better for their children. By the 1990s, we were one of the Four Asian Tigers, thanks to their hard work and drive.

Today, while we reap the rewards of their labour, we continue our search for solutions for our next step of development. In echoes of our early years, our over-reliance on foreign labour inputs, shortage of globally competitive local businesses, astronomical housing prices and high inflation present challenges to younger Singaporeans achieving their dreams. Working Singaporeans also have to contend with stiff global competition and all the pressures of modern life which place a strain on their financial resources and mental health.

Workers’ Party MPs have advanced proposals in Parliament to help Singaporeans cope with the high cost of living and other issues of concern. These proposals include using macroeconomic tools to mitigate inflation, making housing, medical treatment and transport more affordable, improving preventive health, breaking the poverty cycle, co-creating a stronger response to the climate emergency, empowering women to achieve their full potential and making our justice system more accessible. In our constituencies, our MPs and volunteers continue to reach out to residents to understand their concerns and help address their needs.

As a country, we have survived the dark clouds of a global pandemic, and a ray of sunlight is now shining through. We must navigate the path ahead with a sense of purpose and unity as fellow Singaporeans, even as we share many diverse aspirations and dreams. With a collective effort, we will be able to overcome today’s challenges to build Singapore into the nation we want it to be.

I wish all Singaporeans a very happy 57th National Day!

GIRL NOT HAPPY BF CHANGED HIS IG PASSWORD, CANNOT TRACK HIS ACTIVITIES ANYMORE

Admin pls assist me to post this! Seeking genuine advice.

My bf and I have been tgt for 2 years. He is currently a regular in the army and he frequently goes overseas for 1-2 mths for operations.

Last year end, I discovered his insta account password and logged in into it.

Everyday, I would enter to see the accounts he has searched, his DMs on his account and also view his friends’ profile.

Sometimes, I see that he searched for accounts of girls (influencers) on his insta, usually those girls who are wearing very revealing.

I do feel a bit uncomfortable about this, but understand that guys like to see these stuff.

Also, he is treating me well, always updating me on his whereabouts and making time to text me although he is overseas.

Recently, he changed his password and I have been logged out of his account and cannot enter it again.

I am now feeling insecure, because I cannot track his activities on insta while he is currently overseas on another operation.

I have crazy thoughts that what if he hooks up with other girls while he is overseas, text other girls online etc.

I feel irritated with myself for being insecure just because I cannot trace his social media activity now. Seeking for help thanks ????

Netizens’ comments

  • This is sick.
    Nothing wrong with your bf.
    It’s you. Get a life. There must be some mystery in the relationship. Don’t ever try to know every minor details of him, coz someday that’ll only make you bored of him. Don’t end it before the ends.
  • You wouldn’t have any healthy relationship with anyone when you have trust issue
  • See a therapist and seek professional help

WOMAN UPSET WITH POOR SERVICE @ SWENSENS, APOLOGISES AFTER FINDING OUT STAFF WAS AUTISTIC

WOMAN UPSET WITH POOR SERVICE @ SWENSENS, APOLOGISES AFTER FINDING OUT STAFF WAS AUTISTIC

Facebook user Sindhu RK Johnson, shared how she was with her son at Swensen’s for lunch where she experienced poor service from the server.

However, she later found out that the diner employs staff members who are youths with high functioning autism from the APSN, and apologised.

Here is what she said

PS : Please read till the end

My heart broke a little yesterday..

It was half day for my son n the nearest Child friendly restaurant/cafe was Swensen’s as such we went to Clementi Mall Swensen’s for lunch.

So when a table was ready, a waitress called us both in.. not ushered in but hand gestured like u know how u call a cat n pointed us to the table at the corner.

So we went, the table was wet.. like how the water condensation from the drinks were smeared across the table.. not dirty. So i gestured to a waitress to wipe it as my son is starting to play on the table with his cars.. to which the waitress went like “Dirty ?”.. n literally bend down to the surface of the table to look n than looked at me in a judgmental way n went to get a soaking wet towel to make it even worst..

At this point.. i just took my own tissue n wet wipe to clean the table. Following that i try gesturing a few time to the servers just standing ard and they weren’t busy. Couldn’t get any1 n i didn’t leave my seat because son was seated on their normal chair.. not highchair (wasn’t offered).. but that’s ok.

So i had a free drink coupon on Swensen’s app which i wanted to redeem. So i told myself nvm, I’ll wait for the food to be served. The guy came with food, i told him abt the drink coupon.. he completely blanked me off, put the food down n walked away(Zero interaction).. than i thought, maybe he is getting a server since i saw him walking out from the kitchen with my food earlier.. No, he straight went back in to the kitchen

N there were no cutleries for me.

Ok that is it.. I burst !

I went to the counter n got the manager n told him to follow me to the table since my 3yrs old was there n said i need to speak to him. I didn’t raise my voice or make a scene but i was very upset.

To be honest, i assumed i got this treatment because it was only me n my son. So technically what I would spend would be lesser than 2 paying adults.

I started voicing my grievances n the manager Oh so patiently heard me out. N than when i stopped what he said next broke my heart

90% of the staffs there were mid to high functioning autistic teenagers from APSN School

I profusely apologised to the manager n coveyed my suggestion to atleast make it known to patrons like what KFC does. Not a badge on them but some sign before they enter the restaurant.

N like what i suspected, Google reviews on Swensen’s were brutal

I’m writing this to just make known how wonderful it is for Swensen’s to be inclusive and give an opportunity but also be patient with the servers. N do support them and not boycott due to poor services if u ever had any. It isn’t intentional.

I also would like to give a shout out to the manager managing everything.. it really isn’t easy.

N please don’t jump the gun too quickly like myself.

Lately I’ve seen quite a few post with photos n videos floating ard on social media abt misbehaving kids.. how parents can’t control them.. we will never know their story.

If u see any kids acting out of the norm n being unruly or ‘naughty’ or uncontrollable.. don’t be too quick to judge the parents that they are bad parents or it’s poor upbringing.. there are more than meets the eye..

NETIZEN ON GETGO & BLUESG DRIVERS – IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD A CAR, DON’T DRIVE

NETIZEN ON GETGO & BLUESG DRIVERS – IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD A CAR, DON’T DRIVE

Dear Getgo/BlueSG P-plate drivers – if you can’t afford a car, don’t drive.

Many of my friends and myself have had numerous close shaves with your reckless driving with sudden abrupt lane changes without signalling, drifting from lane and poor driving in general.

Take some responsibility for your actions please – dont use those cars for “learning and practicing”.

One of the most facepalm moments I had was this girl who tried to park for 10 minutes in the lot (not parallel), then after she left the car looking all contented of her parking, failed to realise she parked too close to the car on the left until it can’t open….

I’ve learnt to keep a very safe driving distance from these rental P-plate drivers, their road antics are scary af.

Netizens’ comments

  • To be fair, “sudden abrupt lane changes without signalling, drifting from lane and poor driving in general” are not limited to newbie, car-sharing or occasional drivers.
  • More amused that this has anything to do with people who use rental cars. So if buy own car with P-plate, can reckless drive? 
  • Gee, I wonder how many reported traffic accidents involve P-plate drivers.
    Ever tried looking at the accident photos and see a P-plate?

DELIVERY DRIVER ALLEGEDLY LEFT MAN’S CHILLED ITEMS IN “OUTSIDE HEAT”

DELIVERY DRIVER ALLEGEDLY LEFT MAN’S CHILLED ITEMS IN “OUTSIDE HEAT”

Facebook user Tomas Adam Laslo shared how his frozen and chilled items were allegedly left out in the open by his delivery driver, under temperatures of 33 degrees (he measured the temperature).

Here is what he said

Dear Everyone!

TLDR: Please be careful with Redmart delivery food safety-wise. They leave out frozen/ chilled products in outside heat carelessly.

My delivery slot was 17:00-19:00 so I arrived home around 16:45. At that point my items were waiting in front of the elevator (technically outside, 33C°) without insulated bag or icepacks on the ground floor of my building.

No 15 minutes warning text, no call if they can leave it there, nothing.

We decided to wait as items were on trolley, we didn’t want to take it, as it was clearly not “delivered”.

So we decided to wait for the return of the driver, in about 10 minutes, (when I started to take video bellow) he returned claiming he just went for 5 minutes to the toilet (we’ve been waiting 10+ minutes there already, and toilet is like good 5-10 minutes away).

How long my half melted food items where out in the dangerous heat?

I understand driver has to go to toilet, but can’t like leave my frozen/ chilled stuff in the cold van?

Are redmart grossly overscheduling drivers, where they have to take risk with our food and health?

Are they going to pay for the treatment if my pregnant wife gets sick from dangerously handled food?

GIRL MOVES IN WITH BF & REVEALS HER TRUE COLORS & DIRTY HABITS, BF CANNOT TAHAN

GIRL MOVES IN WITH BF & REVEALS HER TRUE COLORS & DIRTY HABITS, BF CANNOT TAHAN

I’ve been dating my gf for a year. Before we got together, she gave me the impression she was a person who loves to exercise, eat well, and take great care of herself. She doesn’t drink or smoke.

Doesn’t eat junk or processed food too. She moved into my place 4 months ago and I find she doesn’t seem to be what she says she is.

She fills the kitchen with chips and chocolates. She orders Korean alcoholic drinks in cartons and has more than a can every night.

The freezer is full of frozen fried food, sweet drinks, snacks and ice cream. She tells me when it’s that time of the month she will have craving for these kinds of food. I can accept it but that time of the month can’t possibly be every day? She’s snacking and drinking every day while watching k drama. Then she will have a craving to have Korean instant noodles as supper at the same time.

She used to be dressier in the beginning and would deck out in colours that suited her, but now she wears full-on black every day and it really doesn’t sit well in my eyes.

It’s like she’s ready to go to a funeral anytime. I’m a visual person and I also make effort to look good for her. I still go for regular haircuts and I still cycle and lift weights. I brush my teeth before I kiss her but she doesn’t. She doesn’t bother about her appearance anymore and I’ve not seen her exercise for months. I find myself getting increasingly frustrated at home while I’m with her.

I still love her but I find that she’s very different from when we started to date.

Is this what it’s like living together? I haven’t even talked about chores. There are some chores that she refuses to do and she said it’s my place after all, so I’ll have to be the one to do it. I think I’m covering 80% chores while she’s only keen in doing 20%.

She has the habit of leaving washed underwear in the toilet and I would have to be the one to take it out to hang because she would forget and ask me to do it instead. There are many other instances that she would forget to do something and I would be the one finishing the chore. I cannot imagine doing this long-term.

When I try to talk about it she would get upset and binge snack and drink. I’m not even arguing with her. It’s just talking in a calm tone.

Is that time of the month that bad that it becomes close to almost every day? Or she’s not what I think she is? How can I improve the situation?

Here are what netizens think:

  • It’s your place anyway…as she said, then kick her out of your place. I would reconsider whether this is the kind of person to fall in love and be with. Seem the compatibility is very low now. If one has to change from what she said, it should be for better not worse. I’m not you, but I can’t tolerate with this kind of behavior and I don’t think she would be a good mother for my kids at the end.
  • You two are a big mismatch! It’s sad to see she doesn’t love herself much, and not taking care of her fitness. Likely this is true herself, which you can’t change much. Just leave her. Breaking up this toxic relationship is beneficial for both you and her. She’ll find someone who’s as messy as her.
  • LOL after dating for only a year and she’s completely let herself go already. DUMP HER

FLOOD IN SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, 8 DIED 6 OTHERS MISSING

Travelling to South Korea can be fun but the country is currently facing the dangers of the flood.

Hold back your horses if you are thinking of taking an impromptu flight to South Korea.

Flooding and deaths

At least eight people have died in the flood disaster in South Korea. The Korea Broadcasting Corporation reported that at least six others were missing. Floods flooded houses, roads, fields and subways in the metropolis of Seoul, in the north of the country, and its adjacent areas, and many roads and stations had to be temporarily closed.

Rainfall hits highest in 80 years 

Since Monday (August 8), the Seoul region has been hit by heavy rain. The Meteorological Department forecasts more heavy rain in the next few days. The Korea Meteorological Agency reported that in Namseong, Seoul, the heaviest rainfall in 80 years was recorded, with rainfall exceeding 141 litres per square meter per hour at one point.

South Korean President Yoon Seok-wyeh has ordered the authorities to evacuate residents in the most dangerous areas urgently and safely.

North Korea also issued a heavy rain warning. According to North Korean state radio, the warning involved southern North Korea. The largely internationally isolated country has yet to report any damage.

New Zealand and Australia came in n4th and 5th with 32% and 29%, while Thailand and Malaysia came in 6th and 7th with 27% and 26%.

The chief executive of a Tokyo-based travel agency, Aw Wanpingn, was quoted by CNBC as saying that Singaporeans want to visit Japan because of a shift in seasons.

She added that Singaporeans love cherry blossoms and snow a lot, and that spring and winter are the peak seasons for Singaporean tourists/

GIRL WANTS TO DUMP BF AFTER MEETING “INVESTMENT GUY” WHO HAS A LUXURY CAR

GIRL WANTS TO DUMP BF AFTER MEETING “INVESTMENT GUY” WHO HAS A LUXURY CAR

I’ve been together with my boyfriend for 3 years. Last year he graduated and found a job that pays him $3.5k a month. To be honest I was shocked that his salary is quite low. Because some of my friends and cousins are earning much higher than him. I often encouraged him to find a better job. I also asked him to take up some courses to improve his chances. He already took up a few courses but he still couldn’t find a better job.

Recently, I was bored and downloaded a dating app for fun. Surprisingly, I matched with a lot of guys who seem quite eligible. I even matched with a lawyer and an investment associate. I have been chatting with the investment associate for two weeks now. He would text me only a few times a day because he’s a very busy guy. Yesterday was his birthday so he told me he celebrated his birthday with his family at home.

After his birthday celebration, he suddenly said he wants to see me. At around 3am, he snuck out of his house and drove to my house to see me. I went down to the carpark to meet him and was quite surprised to see that he drives a luxury car and he looks even better in real life. We chatted for 2 hours in his car. He then walked me to the lift and even kissed me on my cheek. Although we barely know each other, I actually feel quite happy that he kissed me. When he reached home, he texted me to say that he enjoyed talking to me and he would like to see me again.

He seems like a really nice guy. I know I shouldn’t compare but my bf isn’t even that nice. And my bf is unable to find a decent job so I’m worried about my future when we get married. But my bf and I have been together for 3 years so our relationship is very stable. I feel like if I break up with him now, 3 years of my life would be wasted. What should I do? Should I just stick to my bf because he is obviously a safer choice? Or should I continue to go out with the investment guy and then break up with my bf when the investment guy confess to me?

Editor’s note: You should break up with your boyfriend, definitely – because he deserves much better than you.
