GOH CHOK TONG – 4G LEADERS INHERITING A DIVIDED & DANGEROUS WORLD

0

Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong was speaking at the UOB 2h2022 Investment Forum on Friday, saying that Singapore’s 4G leaders will be inheriting a world that is more hostile and challenging that their predecessors.

More walls will be built

He explained that this bipolar world will require countries to choose a side, either the US or China, according to The Straits Times.

According to Yahoo, Goh said that “instead of building more bridges, I’m afraid more walls will be built,” as he outlines his pessimism of the world’s future.

Support of Singaporeans

He said that the 4G leadership needs a strong mandate from Singaporeans in order for Singapore to be successful in a more unstable and dangerous world.

They can then avoid the situation in which foreign leaders don’t take them seriously, by having the support of the people.

China would win in war over Taiwan

Touching on the China-Taiwan issue, he said that if war does indeed break out over Taiwan in the South China Sea, China would win (against the US) despite having lesser nuclear weapons and military strength, as they have the upper hand in the South China Sea and Taiwan.

However, he did say that if the war extended beyond Asia, the US would claim victory because they have 5,500 nuclear weapons to China’s 300.

Goh also added that he feels there will be “no good outcome” in the US looking to deepen its ties with Taiwan.

The US will not cede their dominance to China, while China will not allow the US to restrict its rise, with both countries seeing each other as long term existential threats.

STUDIO APARTMENT RENTAL LOOKS LIKE BED IS IN ITS KITCHEN

A rental listing on propertyguru.com has a unique listing which appears to be a full bede room alongside the kitchen.

Behind the bed, it appears to have a door which netizens thinks is the toilet.

Just 1 step away from the bed is the stove.

The listing is active and ongoing for $1,680 a month. With this kind of layout, one will not be able to cook as the whole bed would smell like food. (Imagine frying chicken and you dream of eating fried chicken).

The studio apartment that is listed is located at 224 Bukit Batok Street 21 at only 231 sqft.

One can easily rent a studio condominium apartment at that price at other areas.

The joke about the listing it stated that it is suitable for a family to move in, so is the children suppose to sleep on the floor or on top of the stove?

MAN TOLD TO TOP UP ACCOUNT TO GET JOB, MONEY GONE FOREVER

I was contacted on telegram with a job offer (28/12/21). Soon after, I was contacted on WhatsApp and provided with a website detailing the company and a job portal.

Two accounts were created, the first being one for my own use, the second by the person whom I was speaking to. After topping-up the second account, they directed me to complete the tasks to generate data. By example, there was a need to top up the account every time it reached a negative amount. She would top up the account by direct me to contact customer service with the top-up details.

Upon completing the tasks, she withdrew the amount from the account and sent the amount to the first account that had been made for my own use. I was then directed to complete the tasks on the account where I proceeded to do the same and successfully withdrew a portion of the money. (28/12/21).

The next day (29/12/21), the same person contacted me. Following the same steps, I completed the steps on her account first.

Things started getting worse when I started using my own account. The amounts kept getting bigger and when I consulted the person about these amounts, she continued to encourage me to keep going so that I could withdraw the full amount once the tasks were complete.

I contacted customer service and questioned them, stating that if I did not get the money back, I would lodge a police report. They replied that they had an army of lawyers that would counter the claims. After some back and forth, I was told that a manager would be calling me.

During the call, their manager requested we top up a final amount to off-set the negative on the account so that the order could be completed. Including the amount that was supposed to be deposited, I was supposed to receive the total plus commission once the transfer was complete. I agreed to this after requesting some details as assurance from the manager.

Once I had fulfilled the top-up, I waited before going to check the status of the account. This was when the manager called me again, yelling at me to ask me what I did, only to find that there was now a new order on the account and that the negative amount on the account was back even larger than the last. They claimed that this had never happened before and said that I had done something.

I did not even have my phone with me because I had it on the charger at the time the transaction was made.

I noticed a HP advertisement on their website earlier which is why I thought the company had some legitimacy to it. A friend that I consulted went to do some research and found that the company was using an expired marketing quote without consent. She has said that HP will now be reporting the company because the comment expired 4 years ago.

MAN CANCELLED SHOPEE ORDER, BUT PARCEL STILL DELIVERED TO HIS HOME

A Facebook user, Gary Valentino, shared how he had cancelled his order from Shopee a few days ago, but the parcel was apparently still delivered to his home yesterday.

He said that he has already contacted both Shopee and the seller but at the time of writing, he has still received no answers yet.

He is now at a loss as to what to do with the parcel, explaining that returning it would be a waste of time since he “might reorder it” again.

He also added that the refund has already been made for his cancelled order.

Here is what he said on Facebook

A few days ago, I’ve posted about my cancelled order. But today suddenly they delivered the parcel.

I’ve already contacted both Shopee and seller but no answers yet. The problem now is what should I do with the parcel?

I still want the parcel but returning it would be a waste of time since I’ve might reorder it. However, refund have been made.

Hopefully the admin could contact me back for the matter ASAP.

Netizens’ comments

  • You give back refund to Shopee and they will return it to seller. I did that once before. Just contact Shopee customer service and they will give you their bank account number.
  • if the shopee seller already dispute and shopee agent refund the money to the seller, so you can just get the item…since the seller and you already get the refund, so the loss is shopee or jnt only.
  • Probably seller will get back to you on Monday. Asked for his bank account, transfer to him.BUT most probably J&T has to cover the loss. The seller might get paid twice.
  • This happened to me twice. The seller will post the prove of the shipping and you will still get the refund then later on if your parcel arrive, just take it with open heart la. Free item haha

GIRL WANTS TO BREAK UP BECAUSE HER & BF NO MONEY, LESS THAN 1K SAVINGS

0

I’ve got a dilemma if I should break up with my long term bf.

we have plans to get married, bto together and we do see a future together. But we have a big problem.

We do not get along well with each other’s family, we are broke AF (we don’t even have 1k savings combined) and most importantly, we both have a huge monthly $$ commitment.

Honestly? I’m contemplating to break up with him because of how broke we are and also because I know we’ll continue being broke even after we’re married. I’ve been broke all my life, I don’t even expect much. I just want to live a comfortable life. But with our current finances, this is not possible. We can’t even afford to eat a good meal without having to eat grass for the rest of the month!

We don’t even get along well with each other’s family. I do love him but I really don’t know what to do as my future with him seems to be very bleak.

I want to break up with him but I’m being very selfish. I really don’t know what to do.

MORE THAN 1M TOURISTS WENT M’SIA SINCE BORDER REOPENED, MOST ARE S’POREANS

Malaysia’s Tourism, Art and Culture Minister Nancy Shukri said on 4 June that since their borders reopened, Malaysia has received more than 1 million tourists.

A large proportion of the tourists were from Singapore, with Shukri adding that Malaysia is also expecting many visitors from countries such as Japan, Korea and Iran.

The 1 million visitors are half of Malaysia’s target of 2 million tourists this year, and it has only been a little over 2 months since they reopened their borders.

She added that in the last 2 months alone, 600,000 of the 1 million tourists were from Singapore.

She also said that there are tourists from other countries, but they cannot get accurate numbers because they are still waiting for feedback from the respective parties.

She underlined that Malaysia has achieved more than half of what they have targeted, and reasoned that people are keen to visit Malaysia due to their eased Covid rules where there are no mandatory quarantines, screening tests and insurance.

However, she lamented the shortage of workers in Malaysia’s tourism industry.

HEARTLESS PET OWNER LEFT HAMSTERS @ CORRIDOR NO CARE, NOW DEAD & ROTTING

The Hamster Society (Singapore), a volunteer animal welfare group, shared a shocking discovery of animal neglect at a HDB block in Hougang.

They found neglected hamsters being housed in cages left along the corridor of the block, starving and dehydrated with some of the hamsters already dead and rotting.

Here is what they said

A nightmare for every animal lover (warning : graphic images)

We were alerted to a case of negligence at 709 hougang avenue 2, where several syrian and dwarf hamsters were housed at the common area. We do not usually interfere in these cases, however once we found out that they had not been given food or water in DAYS, we had to intervene.

When volunteers arrived, it was even worse than described. Dead, rotting, hamsters were in the same cage as the living ones. Maggot filled carcases, mummified carcasses with NOTHING left but skin and bones with a stench of death and ammonia from pee and poo. Some passerbys had kindly offered water and fruit from their houses to the survivors, and they were so hungry and dehydrated that the gobbled up everything. They might have even cannibalised their cagemates as the bodies were completely hollowed out with bones sticking out. We will let the pictures do the talking.

Why do these people keep pets, if they were not willing to give them the very basic care, or the decency of removing a dead body in the cage? Singapore is facing a severe heat wave these coming months, with temperatures of up to 36 degrees. These animals have not only suffered in the heat, but did not even have the respite of clean drinking water to combat the heat. We have reported this case to the relevant authorities and we are glad that swift action is underway.

The survivors are being seen at the vet now, and will be split up into foster homes for proper care. We do not know if they are in adoptable condition yet, and they will be in quarantine while we assess the situation. If you are keen to help out with our growing numbers, do check out our adoption gallery for hamsters who have cleared quarantine and are ready for their new homes.
