A man who married a foreign spouse, but the child was born in Vietnam. The man is currently seeking advice as his baby is unable to get Singaporean citizenship.
Here is his story:
My Singapore 2nd son, born in Vietnam hospital, with a foreign spouse. As per ICA foreign policy and Vietnamese law, my son has to register as Vietnamese to get the birth cert. I apply within 1 year of a baby born to be Singaporean Citizenship with vietnam birth cert (as required by ICA). After waiting for 2 years, ICA rejects the application. Singapore baby is not automatically become Singaporean if born outside of Singapore with a foreign spouse.
At the time of the extremely low baby rate, Singapore ICA rejected my application. My first son is Singaporean, have to apply too and got it. Because I am now working in Vietnam with low salary, my 2nd son cannot get Citizenship.
There is NO appeal on this. and have to redo the application. Who and where can I get help?Â
When the police arrived, the three leaders of the group were counting money while drinking expensive alcohol. Kuala Lumpur(KL) police officers raided a luxury apartment in KL yesterday afternoon, arresting five Malaysian’s and three China men.
It is reported that the relevant fraud group rents three units for at least RM23,000 ringgits (approximately SGD$7420) each month, one of which is also equipped with a private elevator.
The police disclosed that preliminary investigations revealed that in addition to investment scams, the relevant groups also engaged in gambling activities. The main targets were Singaporeans.
At the same time, they did not rule out that they also defrauded Chinese and Malaysians.
A student from a local university thinks that have a local university certificate would guarantee a “better” job. However, the student ended up having to beg from a friend that graduated from a private university to get a job in a big company. But he/she was ignored by the impudent behaviour.

Recently I found out a friend (we used to be close) landed a job at one of the companies in FAANG, and given she came from a Private U (S**) I was even surprised so we kind of chatted on insta as I wanted to know more of what she does or like how she managed to even get in.
I mean compared to me (I graduated from NUS) and my peers, I really just can’t helped but to wonder how a private U student was able to get in, I’m sure many would too. So anyway long story short, I asked if she could refer me but she sort of indirectly rejected that idea.
I was thinking is it because I graduated from a school better than hers, she selfishly rejected helping me assuming I could find a job since I’m from a local U?? I don’t understand why is it so hard to just refer a friend to the same company, everybody wins no?
And I have been looking for a job ever since I graduated and I really wanted to get into FAANG having applied several times and failed. Why is it so hard to refer a friend in?
I mean we used to be close even though we stopped talking since going to different U to study. I just don’t get the selfish mentality of some people, but you know thanks for letting me know who are the true friends..
Imagine getting lead on for a staycation with your girlfriend and not for just 1 night but 3 nights. All you get is blue blue balls.

I just came back from a staycation with my ex-girlfriend and man, it was the worst 3 days I spent with her. I thought of getting to know her more and hopefully rekindle our relationship as we are still close friends.
I brought card games so that things won’t be so boring and she just said it’s ok (with a very uninterested tone), before ignoring me coldly and used her phone and texted all day long makes me feel even more helpless and angry. Our interactions are quite limited throughout the 3 days and it was damn awkward so much so that I have thoughts of leaving her alone in the hotel not more than once.
I wanted to avoid the silence and awkwardness by asking her some questions, but I don’t know what to ask.As the bathroom do not have any curtains, and there is only 1 bathroom, so when she’s inside bathing, then if I want to use the toilet while she is inside right, she would refuse.
I thought of having the both of us having a hot and great shower together vanished no matter how much I plead and I am stuck outside the bathroom until she is done. We slept on 2 separate beds and I wanted to combine the 2 beds into 1 by pushing the beds together so that we can be closer.
However, any physical interactions (hand-holding, hugs etc) was refused by her and I am so tired by her.I cannot find much topics to chat with her and I am quite tired with how she treat me so coldly.
She is still very accommodating about stuff as she is fine with a lot of things, only physical stuff she minds a lot (no seeing of her nudes eg). I don’t know what she wants in our friendship to be frank.
Maybe it’s just me trying to fix things up on my part, but things would never be the same again. It’s like my idea of staycation that is supposed to be a sweet and excellent opportunity for us to know each other more very much different from reality.
If I knew things would turn out this way then I would not have book a staycation with her, which is a waste of my money.
A netizen posted a story about how some behave like hypocrites and have behaviour that doesn’t make any sense.
Here is the story:
Why are people such hypocrites when it comes to killing animals for food nowadays? I fish as a hobby and I eat the majority of what I fish, so I have no issues with killing animals with the intent of eating them.
Few days back, I invited 3 friends to my apartment and I told them I’d be preparing chilli crab for them. They were so excited over the food and one even said it’s her favourite dish.
I bought 4 live sri lankan crabs home and waited for my friends to arrive before processing them because I wanted to keep the food fresh.When my friends came, they were shocked that I bought live crabs. I told them it’s for freshness.
The friend who said chilli crab was her favourite dish started arguing with me, calling me a murderer.I told her to look away and proceeded to kill the crabs swiftly with a knife up the bottom and she started crying. My other friends were split, with one supporting her and saying I’m a monster, while the other said I am just doing what every restaurant does.
I called her a hypocrite for eating crabs at a restaurant even though she can’t stand the crabs being killed, and she couldn’t come out with a proper reply. Needless to say the gathering sucked and she ran home crying with one other friend.
This left the 2 of us to eat 4 crabs and it was absolutely delicious.Animal cruelty starts at the dinner table and I admit I am cruel to animals for the sake of food. But at least I’m no hypocrite.
