Member of Parliament, Louis Ng Kok Kwang, has posted on facebook saying that his motion on “Using deterrence to tackle secondhand smoke in homes” was not selected and therefore he won’t be able to speak up on this in Parliament this month.
He also said that he won’t give up and will try his best to push hard to change our policies.
Netizens on Facebook have been divided by this issue with some supporting this movement and some are against it.
One netizen feels that smokers are already pressured so much and it is hard to find a place in Singapore to smoke properly and now they want to ban smoking even in our own homes.
Another felt that this move is in the right direction as secondhand smoke is deadly.

A video has emerged on Facebook showing a presumably Japanese lady crossing a zebra crossing from a driver’s point of view.
In the video, the Japanese lady bowed to thank the driver when the driver slowed down to give way to her.
Not only did she express her gratitude, she also rushed across the zebra crossing with her baby stroller in hand even though she had the right of way and could take her time if she wanted.
If only the world could learn to be as gracious as this Japanese lady

A female Instagram user shares her experience with perverts who cant keep it in the pants and harass them online.
Here is the story:
I would like to share with you my experience with my IG account and how these despos text me every day.
I receive at least 3 messages from different guys every day, asking me if I wanna have sex with them or asking me to be their model for bikini shoots. Worst of all, 1 guy actually ask me if I can want to take nude photos!
I have deleted most of the messages but I have attached one of the screenshots of guys asking me for sex.
I take nice sexy selfies doesn’t mean I am a sl*t, and there are so many gals in insta like me taking selfies in their hot sexy dresses or lingerie, so what’s wrong with that? I also hope that young gals out there won’t be cheated by those people asking you to take bikini or nude photoshoots. You will never know how they use your photos
A netizen shared a story of him getting forced by his boss to pay up for the days he was on medical leave.
Here is the story:
I really need advice on this. I am currently a contracted employee working in the sales line. I have no basic, only paid commission, and paid REIMBURSEMENT for transport ONLY if I have closed 5 deals for that month, which is CAPPED at $85. (The adult concession is $120/month, the reimbursement doesn’t even fully cover that.)
After working for 2 months, I decided to quit, and have given 1-month notice in advance. Unfortunately, I fell down before giving my resignation letter, didn’t realize the severity of the fall. I still have been working dutifully after the fall, and only went to see the doctor today because I was already limping from the pain. The doctor gave me 10 days MC after diagnosing the severity of my fall. I was even given a referral letter for follow up at the hospital. So I told my boss immediately to inform her of my 10 days mc. And I don’t know what happened and she threw a bunch of MOM web links at me and demanded that I PAY BACK that 10 days of MC. Because she says that the MC sort of cut short my notice period. She even got a colleague KINDLY tell me off that if I keep taking MC after MC, I can siam the notice period. (Honestly, I did not think of this.)
WHAT THE HELL. I don’t understand why I should pay back my MC when I am genuinely unfit for work. And she threatened to terminate me and cut all the commission I’ve earned by 85%, leaving me with 15% of my hard-earned money. I’m truly confused. I did not ask her to pay me basically for the 10 days and only requesting for the duration to rest.
I really seek a professional opinion from all of you, if, under the law, I am obliged to give back that 10 days. Or can she terminate me while I’m on MC or cut my commission?
Each month I am already paying more out of my pocket to pay for the transportation to meet the transportation demand of the job. Do I really have to give in to her?
