Asset just drag us and told us wait their management reply our email. we want Asset management phone no as we want to talk to someone who can make the decision, the sales girl told us no number to call but only email.

A video emerged online showing an Otaku (a person obsessed with anime and manga) fanboy climbing on top of a classroom table and checking himself for ticks dancing.
He was seen rigorously scratching himself dancing while the girls watching him went wild with frenzied excitement.
He then jumped off the table because a great performer knows that the show can’t go on forever.
As COVID-19 cases continue to grow in Singapore, the Ministry of Health (MOH) stated on Friday that working from home will be the default option for employees who are able to do so (Sep 24).
This will take effect from September 27 to October 24th.
The Ministry of Health added that :
“there should continue to be no cross-deployment of workers to multiple worksites for those who need to go into worksites to work.”
“Employers should continue to implement flexible working hours and stagger the start times of employees who need to return to the workplace,”
The Ministry of Health (MOH) reported on Sep. 24 that the number of daily Covid-19 cases in Singapore is likely to reach 3,200 next week.
If Singapore’s infection rate continues on its current path, the chances of it increasing further, even more, cannot be ruled out, said the Ministry of Health.
The daily increase of cases in recent days has been significant and there has been more people going to hospitals although they have mild symptoms.
According to the Ministry of Health, this has put a pressure on the whole healthcare and response system, as well as on Singapore’s healthcare professionals.
Health minister Ong Ye Kung said at a conference that our local healthcare system can handle 2,000 to 3,500 patients before it hits its limit
Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong said earlier today that it is a difficult move but it is necessary to stop the spike in infections and preventing it from overwhelming the healthcare in Singapore.
Mr Gan said: “I know that many Singaporeans and businesses will be disappointed by today’s announcement. I want to assure you that Singapore remains committed to reopening”
Yesterday(Sept 24), the Ministry of Health reported 1500 cases. Previously when Singapore was at 2 pax dining the daily cases were low in the hundreds. Currently, it is in the thousands.

A 39-year-old man will be charged with money laundering and offering unauthorized cross-border money transfer payment services.
Officers from Jurong Police Division conducted a routine check on two males near Choa Chu Kang Avenue 3 at approximately 8.50 p.m. on September 11, 2020, and discovered them in possession of a stack of Singapore dollar notes. They allegedly stated that they were following the 39-year-old man’s orders to collect the $14,730 in cash from those who had hired him to move money offshore.
Preliminary investigations indicated that the individual had reportedly engaged on a business of offering cross-border money transfer services from 4 August to 11 September 2020, when he allegedly transferred an amount of around $359,500 from his DBS bank account to people in the People’s Republic of China.
It was suspected that the transfer services were provided without a legal license.
Meanwhile, the Police received allegations from 13 scam victims between August 28 and November 24, 2020, who were duped into depositing money totaling $430,500 into the 39-year-old man’s DBS bank account.
The 39-year-old man said that another individual, identified only as “Aloysius,” had directed him to deposit $446,400 into a second UOB account, which included the illicit profits from the scheme, before the money was moved to another foreign bank account.
If he is found guilty of facilitating the retention of benefits from criminal conduct under the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Offences (Confiscation of Benefits) Act, faces up to 10 years’ imprisonment, a fine up to S$500,000, or both.
Daughter who can’t stand living with mom anymore, just need to rant.
My parents got divorced when I was 13, and it had a really bad impact on me, mentally and emotionally if it makes sense. I wouldn’t say that I suffer from anxiety/depression etc. because I was never diagnosed and I don’t wish to downplay the shit that people who do suffer from them go through.
However, the emotional turmoil I was put through, did cause a lot of self-harm to happen, a lot of insecurities, a lot of just me trying to find a new identity and adapt to a new life without a happy family. A lot of these thoughts still surface even now. My closest friends would have heard me talking about that one scene that replays in my head every now and then, of my father (one who never ever cries) choking up while wrapping my textbooks for me, while my mother packed her things in the room to move out.
My dad loved and still loves my mom, the way he looked at her even now when we do meet, the way he always reminded me to listen and help my mom out because I’m the eldest. He loves her so much, but she left him because she didn’t want to be with a “poor” man. Because I know how much my dad loves her and how much he would sacrifice his entire life just for her, that’s why I hated my mom when she divorced my dad.
We then moved out together, my mom got our custody and my dad didn’t fight it because he didn’t want my mom to go through so much.
The relationship my mom and I had was horrible, I wouldn’t talk to her, and I hated the sight of her. To me, she’s a hypocrite who’s nice only when people are around, she’s nice to her friends and their kids, but doesn’t treat us like humans when we’re home. She does provide a roof over our heads, feeds us occasionally, but is she really a good mom if half the time she’s losing her temper at us for things that were not our fault?
Is she really a good mom if she hurls vulgarities at you when you were only 14, just because you didn’t pack your school bag the night before? Is she a good mom if she calls you names and says “I wanna kill you with a cleaver”?
I lived with her horrible temper for close to 10 years. Even when things got better between us when I graduated from University, I would still stay out till 11 pm just to avoid having to speak to her or see her. The problem is, we share the same room and bed, so I have no choice but to face her every day.
I don’t even have any sort of privacy or time alone in my room because we share a room AND BED?! uGH. For many years, I’ve yearned to move out on my own because dealing with her was so taxing on my mental health. I’ve tried taking my life a few times but failed because I always thought of my dad right before I take any action.
Now that there’s COVID, I’ve had to face her every single day at home because both of us work from home. I am reaching my limit and I don’t know how long I can deal with this. I wanna move out but rent is so expensive, but if I don’t, I have to deal with her temper, insults, and ridiculous antics like buying appliances worth $5000 when she has no money and then borrowing money from us.
If only there was a way to get rich quick if only a kind soul would rent her room out to me for $100 or less, if only I was never born.. What would you do if you were me? with a measly 2.8k pay, a future to save for, and expenses to pay for?
Anybody wanna take in someone who’s about to lose her mind?
