NS $1000 credits unavailable for PRs

Hi everyone. Know this horse has been flogged to death and back, but knowing that PRs wouldn’t be getting it really stings.

No concrete source apart from the NS HOME page stating that it’s for Singaporeans only, and the fact that me and countless other PRs haven’t received anything despite those that ORD in the same time did.

Call me a clown, but really did my best in NS for I actually saw a purpose in doing some of the stuff, and would say I decently enjoyed my time despite all the bs and nonsense.

And yes of course Singaporeans deserve the benefits and etc (I mean PRs fundamentally are not SGporeans at the end of the day), but after releasing the article saying for all NSFs and not specifying the nationality, and the fact that we all go through the same shit together for 2 years, I just feel quite cheated?

Planning to convert too, but really confused and sad by this decision. And worst part for matters like this is that it seems no amount of public attention/letters to ST/MP would be of use lol.

$1k cash credits

It was previously reported that with effect from 1 April, all full-time NSFs will receive an additional $1,000 in cash after they ORD, with this only being applicable to those who enlist into the army on or after 2019.

Yes I’m an escort and no I wont apologize for making money this way, I’m proud of my success

I’ve been working as an escort for several years now, I’ve never been super into social media until I started posting online about my experiences.

And while I can say a lot of people do find my posts interesting or like my no bs attitude I still get thousands of comments calling me every name in the book simply for being paid for my work.

Well you know what? I’m not sorry in the slightest, I’m proud of the work I do I make over seven figures a year that’s more than anyone I went to school with,

ironically I actually have a degree myself but could have never even have dreamed of making this much with it.

So call me what you want but I’m more than happy I’m living my best life.

I have injured my boss while playing football.

Hello everyone, today is my worst day ever. Every Tuesday we play football after work. Today was the same day, we started to play, i was goalkeeper, and my boss was striker,

In the mid of the game , i saw the ball coming to my boss, i just ran there and cleared the ball and in the process, accidentally kicked his leg.

he was screaming in pain and my mind went blank, and after that he blamed me for trying to injure him and told me that he doesn’t want to see me anymore.

I offered to send him to the hospital but he rejected me and said he doesn’t want to see me anymore.

He rejected my calls and ignored my messages.

I just wanna know your opinions, is it my fault that he got injured in the game? it was an accident and is he overreacting? He’s accusing me of doing it on purpose…

What do you think about my situation???

Today my(21M) friend(22F) told me my body odour was attractive. (She came extremely close to me and smelled me)

We have known each other for 4 years and it’s been 1 year since she got married.

We are not close friends and do not talk often. But she has been flirting with me somewhat aggressively for the past few days. Her husband moved overseas because of his work and she couldn’t go with him because of commitments.

She asked me out on a date but I told her that we shouldn’t because she is married…

• She wants to cheat on her husband and enter into an affair with you. It’s up to you what kind of person you want to be from here, but if you’re a good one then you should stop seeing her for any reason at all.
• It’s a trap! She’s married.. bad karma if you do.
• Better not get too close to that girl… You might get attention but she is young, lonely and MARRIED, which is a recipe for disaster. Be vigilant!
• Good call. Don’t get in that mess. She’s married and if she’s acting like that, you certainly don’t want to go on a date with someone who does such things behind her husband’s back. That’s not a trust worthy person

I told my partner he can sleep with someone else

So I’ve been with my current boyfriend for only a few months, it’s still a new relationship but my libido is not really high, i’m affectionate and love cuddles and kisses but intercourse doesn’t appeal to me,

I wouldn’t say I’m totally not interested in it, as occasionally I’ll be “in the mood” but that is honestly a once in a blue moon type occurrence.

last night i told my boyfriend if he really wanted, he could sleep with someone else. He went all funny about it and sort of stopped talking…

i said “I’m not interested in anyone else so i wouldn’t do the same, it’s for you. if you want to sleep with someone and you’re not getting it from me, go ahead, i give you 100% permission to sleep with someone else”

he asked if it was a one-time thing and i asked what he thought it should be, he didn’t answer and said he need to think about everything and he will talk to me tomorrow.

I’m wondering if what i said wasn’t appropriate or if it really upset him, i think he’s contemplating it, as if he didn’t want to he would of just laughed at the idea and said no.

I really didn’t mean to upset him

I would like to ask some advice about couple finances. Married with 1 kid and another on the way.

I’m 30F with 8 years of working experience,  working in civil service drawing 90-95k per annum.

My partner is 31M with 7 years of working experience in private sector. He earned less than me (20%~) for about the first 5 years, before drawing similar to me for the next 2 years after switching jobs for the first time. He is getting a new job soon (signed contract and all), with the annual offer to be about 150-160k per annum. However most of this is in shares and on a 4 year vesting schedule (50k) and he plans to take up the company share purchase plan  so 10% of his base salary is set aside every month, bringing his real take home pay to be about the same as mine.

Previously we had an agreement to  share our expenses 50:50 as our income levels are the same (he did 50:50 even when he was earning less than me). However with the recent job change, I said now he should be paying 2:1 cause his income is way higher than mine, however he argues that it should still remain as 50:50 as realistically his take home salary would be equal or less than mine with the amount of taxes he is paying.

In terms of investments, he is actively investing (lost quite a bit due to market downturn ~20%) while I don’t do investments at all. So he says that as another justification for the status quo to remain as 50:50.

In terms of what he is saving for, we are currently living in a 5rm BTO that is about to MOP. He wants to move and buy a new condo or EC but I’m happy to stay in our current place cause it’s comfortable and we have got used to it.  He says that it is just going to depreciate in value past the 8-10y mark, so he wants to find a new condo so it won’t depreciate as much. Because I’m against buying the condo, he says that with his pay increase, he will be footing the cost for the entire place, so all the more reason not to increase the current 50:50.

Would appreciate if anyone has some advice for me.
