Wee Ka Siong, the Malaysian minister of transport, said on 30 December that they will announce the decision on whether to resume or postpone the air Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) with Singapore before 21 January, within 48 hours.

Wee said that if the air VTL resumes, the number of flight tickets will be reduced by up to 50%.

He added that the decision on the air VTL will be depending on Singapore’s assessment of the Covid-19 situation, in light of the Omicron variant spread.

Singapore previously announced on 22 December that sales of new VTL air and land tickets were frozen from 23 December to 20 January, with Malaysia also saying that their airlines and bus operators will also stop selling tickets to Singapore at the same time.

However, those who have already bought their VTL tickets are still allowed to travel during the period.

Wee also added that a discussion was held with Singapore’s transport minister, S Iswaran on 21 December where he was told that Singapore decided to postpone the VTL.

He added that the land VTL was not under his jurisdiction and is dependent on the Malaysian Ministry of Internation Trade and Industry to make the decision.

PM LEE HINTS AT GST HIKE IN NEW YEAR MESSAGE

The Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong has published a New Year Message which includes how Singapore’s healthcare system was resilient during COVID-19, touching on topics on social and financial affairs.

He also touched on topics on how Singapore managed to win two swimming gold medals in Tokyo.

In his message on GST he state:

“We need a vibrant economy to generate the resources to realise these cherished goals. And the government must have reliable and adequate revenues to carry out its social programmes. It needs to raise additional revenues to fund the expansion of our healthcare system and support schemes for older Singaporeans. Those who are better off should contribute a larger share, but everyone needs to shoulder at least a small part of the burden.“

“This is the rationale for raising a broad-based tax like the GST, coupled with a comprehensive scheme of offsets to cushion the impact on lower income households. The GST forms one important component of our system of taxes and transfers that also includes income and wealth taxes. Overall, our system will remain progressive and fair.“

Back in 2018, there were already plans to increase the current 7% GST to 9%, this was first announced by Heng Swee Keat’s Budget speech.

MAN USES GF LIKE MAID TO TAKE CARE KIDS FROM PREVIOUS MARRIAGE

MAN USES GF LIKE MAID TO TAKE CARE KIDS FROM PREVIOUS MARRIAGE

28F and my fiance is 29M. He has full custody of his 2 daughters and 1 son from his previous relationship. I have been with him for 5 years. His oldest is 10.

When the world crashed and burned, the kids were put into remote learning. Because I was the one with a smaller income, I ended up having to stay home with the kids while he continued working. This year the school decided to stay remote, so I am still home. I worked remotely for a little while but soon was terminated due to the noise the kids made and not having a space away from the chaos. We have not had a break in over 2 years. No one offers to help with the kids. We never have date nights. Nothing. The kids are always here. Their mother is a deadbeat.

She took them for 4 hours the other day, despite having agreed to have them for 3 nights. The kids now hate her. We do too.

Anyways, we got invited out tonight and I’m itching to get out of this house. Our buddy is having a small get-together at his place (5 people, including us). We found out a week ago. Since this point, I have asked my fiance to find a sitter multiple times. I have searched as well. I’ve asked my mom and my gram- both of which cannot. So I told him to ask his mother. He has given every single excuse not to. I need to get out of this house.

After all, I’m the one who is constantly home with the kids and I need a break. I need adult time. Period. So I told him either he finds a sitter or he can stay home with the kids while I go out. In which case he says that I am taking things too far and that im acting like it’s the end of the world.

GUY SAYS HIS PARENTS GAVE BIRTH TO HIM FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT WHEN THEY GET OLD

GUY SAYS HIS PARENTS GAVE BIRTH TO HIM FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT WHEN THEY GET OLD

A netizen shared how his parents gave birth to him for their own benefit when they become old, and that they see him as a money bag.

Here is the story:

“It’s honestly so exhausting to live in a family with parents who chose to have children for the sole purpose of their own benefit in old life.

Growing up, my parents barely provided me with any guidance. All they pushed me to do was to study hard, get good grades and be able to finish a university education.

Yet, throughout my school life, they have never helped me to achieve what they wanted for me. Being able to graduate with a degree was all because of my own hard work (I guess the only thing they did was pay for my education but then again they saw it as an investment for their old age)

They never even provided me with a home that was conducive for studying since they would be quarrelling all the time over every small thing. I remember as a child, their fights got so bad that it left a trauma for the longest time.

And the moment I graduated, I was rushed to get a full time job. Once I started my job, all eyes were on my money. I was expected to not only contribute to household expenses but also pay for what my younger sibling wants to get/eat.

When I got a promotion and a big raise, I 100% regretted telling my parents about it. Their eyes lit up as if they just won the lottery. Immediately after, they started listing their expectations from me with the new salary I got.

YES, you may have paid for my necessities until I became independent but isn’t that what being a parent entails? They always make it seem like I owe them. I was the one who worked hard at this job to get a promotion.

When I confronted them about it, their words left me speechless. They said the sole reason they chose to have so many children was so that they would have someone to help them with everything and provide them with lots of money for retirement.

They have no planning done for their retirement and want to depend on my siblings and I. What kind of parents don’t care that their children have their own future family / dreams to pay for? Why choose to be a parent if you did it for all the wrong reasons?”

Editor’s note: Whether it is for their own benefit or not, they did give you life and raise you up – be appreciative and show a little respect.

GIRL STRESSED BECAUSE STRAY CAT “STALKED” HER, ASKS IF CATS CAN SMELL FEAR

GIRL STRESSED BECAUSE STRAY CAT “STALKED” HER, ASKS IF CATS CAN SMELL FEAR

A girl shared how she recently moved to a rented HDB room and there is a neighbourhood cat who apparently doesn’t like her.

Here is the story:

“Help! There is a neighbourhood cat that either meows at me or chase me every time we encounter each other. What do I do?

I recently moved out of my house to a rented a HDB room. There is a neighbourhood cat at the void deck. According to my observations it is well fed and loved by all other neighbours. I frequently see people petting it or feeding it.

However, there seems to be a problem between me and the cat. The first time we came across each other, I was sitting on a bench waiting for my friends. Suddenly I heard a meow. I turned my head and saw it gazing at and walking towards me. I am very afraid of cats, so I slowly moved away from the bench. Then I realised there are cat food underneath that bench. I thought it’s just that I crossed its territory.

Ever since then, every time I linger around the void deck (either waiting for friends or doing exercises) it will come out of nowhere and scream at me. If I simply walk away to another spot within the void deck, it’ll just keep following me until I leave.

Initially it was still okay, cuz I can just move away.

But tonight as I was walking away, it quietly stalked me and then suddenly charged at me.  I’m not sure what it is that made the cat hate me so much.

Could it be my scent(I had a hamster before I moved out)? Or could it be what people say “cats can sense fear”? What can I do in this situation?

This is a cat that’s well loved by neighbours, I feel getting rid of it is not an option. I also can’t possibly avoid the void deck totally cuz I have to walk past it if I want to go out.

What other options do I have if the situation does not improve? Thank you kind strangers.”

GUY TRIES ONLINE DATING BUT GIRLS TELL HIM: “I THINK WE JUST STAY FRIENDS”

GUY TRIES ONLINE DATING BUT GIRLS TELL HIM: “I THINK WE JUST STAY FRIENDS”

A guy shared how he tried online dating and the girls used to tell him “thanks for the date, it’s best if we just stay as friends”.

He then put all the blame on himself as he felt like he wasn’t good enough. However, he met another girl and used the same line on her.

Here is the story:

“When I first started online dating, I used to take things very seriously, expecting things to go as smoothly as I thought, and I really did give my 100% to ensure my dates were happy.

Whenever my dates said things like “you’re great, but I guess things don’t really work out for us” or “thanks for the date, I appreciate everything, but I guess it’s best if we just stay as friends”, I tend to feel disappointed and kept putting all the blame on myself for not being good enough for them.

After about 2 years of experience, I learnt a lot and eventually got into 2 relationships.

Recently I just broke up, and I simply just don’t have that sort of enthusiasm that I had before. I either talked to new girls that matched me for a few days and ignored their messages completely.

I managed to click pretty with a girl that I can have endless conversations with, and I could see her as a potential girlfriend as well, but I think I did something very wrong.

She actually just started using dating apps recently and only managed to meet a few guys, but none of them are suitable for her, so she is quite nervous to meet me, as she doesn’t want her 2021 to end unhappily.

As a guy who went through this, I just told her “that’s alright la, I also don’t really meet you to be your potential boyfriend, it’s just a casual meet-up, if things don’t go well, let’s think positively and we can still be friends”.

I think I’ve made a big mistake by saying this, though she didn’t respond negatively towards what I said.

She was just like oh…alright then, so you’re just seeing me as a friend? So guys, am I really wrong for saying such thing to her?

I mean I also wish I can avoid disappointment or at least don’t feel as hurtful as before, so it’s not wrong to say that to her right?”

Editor’s note: If you look on the bright side, at least you’re being honest and who knows? Maybe she’d like the honesty.
