CHANGI AIRPORT KOPITIAM’S RUDE UNCLE SNATCHED FOOD FROM CUSTOMER

Hi, I was at Changi airport and the old uncle at this stall who always works the midnight shift is soo rude and unwelcoming. From the moment u order u just get the unfriendly vibes.

Once I ordered minced meat noodles and say upsized no chilli he still put chilli then I went back told him it was wrong he snatched it from me and gave me a normal portion wif no chilli. Though I told him it was upsized. Today also I asked what was still available and he said something I could not hear I asked nicely for him to repeat but I just got ignored.

Now if u ask why do I keep going back, the answer is no choice as it’s the only stall open.

Kopitiam & Foodfare Pls ask him to change his attitude or replace him as when travellers enter Singapore and look for food to eat early in the morning, they will go to the only stall open and the first interaction in sg will ruin thier experience in singapore because of his attitude.

ignore the guy carrying the tray its not him.

Netizens with similar experience

  • Is this t3 food court? Looks like it. I was there yesterday early morning at 9am. There was a fee stalls open. I ate the minced meat noodles and indeed the order taker uncle is a bit sullen faced. I didnt get rude treatment, but there was no smile or thankyou either.
  • Yeap this stall uncle is rude. I only order 1 time then won’t order again I rather eat other food then getting bad customer service.
  • Write to Changi Air Port feedback portal. 100% they will question company and company must follow and reply. I work at Changi airport before and they are really strict about it.

MAHATHIR HOSPITALISED FOR THE 3RD TIME, ADMITTED TO CARDIAC UNIT

Mahathir Mohamad, the 96-year-old former Malaysian Prime Minster, was admitted to the hospital for the 3rd time in a little over a month’s time.

He was confirmed on 22 January to have been hospitalized and is currently in the cardiac care unit at the National Heart Institute (IJN) in Malaysia, according to the Malay Mail.

However, no other information was disclosed.

Ismail Sabri Yaakob, the current Prime Minister of Malaysia, apparently rushed to the heart institute upon hearing the news that Mahathir was in critical condition.

But The Malaysian Insight reported that Mahathir was in stable condition, citing their sources.

Mahathir was first admitted to the IJN on 16 December for a full medical checkup and further observation.

He was subsequently discharged on 23 December 2021, before being admitted again for the second time for an “elective medical procedure” less than a month later.

According to the Malay Mail, Mahathir previously had his first heart attack in 1989 and two more subsequent ones in 2006.

MOTHER’S LIFE SAVINGS WIPE BY “DBS COMMEMORATIVE NOTE SCAM”

MOTHER’S LIFE SAVINGS WIPE BY “DBS COMMEMORATIVE NOTE SCAM”

A woman claimed that her mother was scammed of her life savings after clicking on an SMS from a scammer.

The incident happened back in November and it sounds like a substantial amount of money is gone.

Should other banks also pay their victims?

In recent events, OCBC bank has started paying out to victims of scams.

The OCBC incident resulted in the loss of $8.5 million in a total of 469 victims.

Victim’s of scams are bound to think if other banks will also assist their own customers. Banks are not obligated to pay back the victim but OCBC’s “goodwill payment” has helped the victims and it’s a painful lesson for both the victims and the bank.

Here is what the victim’s daughter said:

Hi guys! Would really appreciate your advice on this issue.

Last year November, my mum was scammed by DBS Bicentennial Commemorative Note Scam. Her entire life saving is gone within seconds, we called the bank and made a police report immediately but till today DBS has given NO UPDATE.

And was only notified by the police officer today of the outcome after I initiated the call. This incident has fractured my family’s relationship. It’s a life-changing amount of money to us. Hope there is someone that could help us with this issue

Here is what netizens think:

  • Have to call in and chase dbs for an update. Fraud cases usually takes up anywhere between 3-6 months of investigation. If lucky, you might just be able to get back the funds.
  • Normally those scam are overseas scam very hard to catch. Don’t expect bank to return you the money coz once gone is gone
  • All of us make mistakes, we should just learn from the mistake and move on, don’t depress your mother further by having family disputes because of this issue.
  • There’s no free lunch in this world. Pls stop falling for these scams. All we need is just some common sense to realise which is true and not. Pls, for god sake, stop clicking on these scam links. This is how people gets cheated
  • I wonder how much money got scammed from DBS accounts from this and other scams.I received messages from “DBS” saying that my ATM card got blocked….I didn’t fall into the trap.But am sure some people did. It can’t be that only OCBC account holders are naive.

MAN FOUNDS COCKROACH IN HIS PORRIDGE FROM TAMPINES

MAN FOUNDS COCKROACH IN HIS PORRIDGE FROM TAMPINES

Date of incident: 23 Jan 2022 Sunday around 11 am
Branch of incident: Tampines Block 477 Street 43

I have been buying from the Tampines branch every weekend. My mom loves the porridge that’s why I always buy for her and myself.

On this day, I was shocked and disappointed at the same time.

Luckily I had to stir the porridge because I added a few extra ingredients of my own (chilli padi, fish skin, egg whites etc).

If not it could have easily ended up in my mouth without noticing at all. I immediately went out of my room to check with my mom’s if she encountered the same horror too. Fortunately, there wasn’t but I told her not to eat it because most likely it came out from the same main pot.

I just wanted to forget about it and stop buying from them anymore but my mom told me to go back there and tell them off. Mainly because they might continue their carelessness and affect others as well. I felt that she had a point so I went back to show them. I am still a fan of this porridge in fact I think it’s one of the best in sg easily. But definitely not buying anymore from the tampines branch again.

Still supporting the hougang branch and hope this message will be a meaningful one to all. Thanks

Here is what netizens think:

  • Omg! So disgusting! Report to the authority on this “extra ingredient”. Will take note to stir thoroughly when eating porridge the next time. Appreciate the sharing.
  • Of all u know they have a central kitchen somewhere, so where u buy from – Hougang or Tampines – it comes from the big pot from the central kitchen.
  • You can report this and make them pay the price so that they will take extra care when preparing the food and also handling the stall.
  • I guess they took the meaning of “extra ingredients” to a whole new level.

FRESH GRADS SHOULD NOT BE SO PICKY ABOUT 1ST JOB

FRESH GRADS SHOULD NOT BE SO PICKY ABOUT 1ST JOB

There are always complaints here and there about their first jobs. A man said not to be so picky on their first jobs.

Here is what he advice

“Want to put some encouragement out there to graduating students. Especially those who received less than satisfactory offers and feel disappointed at what employers are offering you out of school.

It doesn’t matter that much. It matters what you do after getting a less than satisfactory salary (If you’re satisfied, don’t read further).

I’m not from CS or well paid courses so when I took on my first job with a salary slightly below 3K monthly, it was pretty amazing. I ignored culture and got into a really bad job. Thank goodness I manage to get myself out of it.

Remained motivated, kept working hard and did not restrain me to my job scope. Looking back, this helped me because I always had so much to share during interviews.

Finally, after changing a few jobs (I was “approached” each time), I’m earning at least triple of what I had 4 years back.

So, friends, you are what you set yourself up to be. If someone paid you less, try set yourself to accomplish tasks that could justify why you should be paid more (help the company earn more, help others in your team grow, help your boss get recognised… etc). That way you’re setting yourself up for success.”

Here is what netizens think:

Go for the job, learn what you can and move on. Remember that there is no such thing as loyalty in a company. When you leave thousands more are behind you waiting to get that job. If you have an offer take it first. You can always omit those short jobs in your resume.

If the boss is good stay around longer and see what you can learn.

Doctor under investigaation

At least four clinics linked to him as been suspended from operation.

MOH revealed that the doctor submitted false records of vaccination for individuals despite not getting the jab.

Iris Koh is believed to have referred clients to the doctor.

The doctor could risk losing his practitioner license, Quah and his assistant has since been charged with abetment by conspiracy to cheat.

2ND GEN PRC MAN SERVING ARMY IN SG, WRITE COMMANDS IN CHINESE

2ND GEN PRC MAN SERVING ARMY IN SG, WRITE COMMANDS IN CHINESE

I am a 19F local dating a China guy with a really curious trait. Whenever he has trouble remembering how to pronounce cheem-sounding English words, he will transliterate it into Chinese and memorize that instead. For instance, “doing it” becomes “谁输儿 阴特扣死“ (shei-shu-er yin-te-kou-si), which I find so funny I make him say it every time he wants to do it.

But yesterday when I was helping him to spring-clean his room for CNY, I stumbled upon this army notebook of his. I recall that he told me as a second-gen PRC he had to serve, and he was a Platoon Sergeant, so I was curious and had a look at what he wrote. Lo and behold, it was full of Chinese transliterations of army commands and on one page, there was a full-blown Tang dynasty-esque poem:

扑了吞吐握右方 (pu-le-tun-tu-wo-you-fang)

扑了吞吐色迪呀 (pu-le-tun-tu-se-di-ya)

可可男露无乳撕 (ke-ke-nan-lu-wu-ru-si)

盘蛋卡拉盘盘蛋 (pan-dan-ka-la-pan-pan-dan)

巴黎死色囊地利 (ba-li-si-se-nang-di-li)

I only recognise “sediya” and “senangdili” cause I hear that all the time in morning assembly back in school, but the rest look like gibberish. Anyone understand this?

Here is wht netizens think:

  • thanks for the morning lolz.Anyway it’s not uncommon. Japanese Katakana was derived for the same reason – to deal with words and phrases not in their native tongue.
  • Reminds me of Wong Fei Hong learns english from 十三姨
  • Platoon watch your front..platoon Sedi-a! (Attention).. Ke-Kanan Lu – RUS!(Right dressing).. Pandang Ke-Hadapan Pan – DANG! (Eyes to the front).
  • Very impressed! At least he make an effort to remember the commands using his creative!
  • Once u go tiong u cant turn back
  • 3rd one is me kanan lu rus (checking alignment when falling in)4th one is Pandan ke hadapan pandan= turning head back to the front after checking alignment5th one is Baris Senangdiri= contingent? At ease.
