Big Shot Driver. You are here daily waiting for picking up your passenger but I think you should not block the way by occupying one lane by yourself. There is a huge car park just beside your vehicle. LTA where are you? Location at Marsling center.
I was at Tiong Bahru Food Centre taking my lunch when I chanced to witness a very sad scene.One elderly Uncle with white hair was begging the vendor selling Tiong Bahru Tau Suan for an extra disposable spoon. The auntie adamantly refused to hand over the small disposable spoon. I heard the Uncle telling the angry and piqued auntie that he is sharing the bowl of tau suan with his elderly wife.
The auntie refused and shouted at him ” One bowl one spoon!!!” The Uncle persisted and stood there and begged three times to have an extra spoon so that he could share the bowl of tau suan. The auntie repeated her anger and fury ” One bowl one spoon!!!!!!!”
The Uncle moved away and I saw him sharing the bowl of tau suan with his wife. Both sharing one single spoon.
Why is the auntie at the stall so heartless, so unkind and so unsympathetic. The price of the tau suan had gone up 100%!! It was one dollar per bowl!!! Now it is two dollars per bowl!!! And one bowl one spoon!!! Do you want to support this type of arrogant and howlian hawker stall??? Something very wrong with Singaporeans, especially those successful hawkers!!! They are getting too arrogant.And they are very rude and uncouth.
Something that has been bothering me ever since news of “Mdm President” move out of her Yishun flat to go to her “Istana Gym”.
Every night when limpeh cannot sleep come down to 7-11 buy ciggy smoke, I will always see this old ah ma in bandages sleeping inside Khatib MRT.
She looks like she is injured and homeless because everytime is only late night then I see her. I never ever see her daytime trying to beg or anything. (No, she is not Hantu for you trolls so pls STFU)
Got one time I on leave I took the opportunity to spy on her and I realise she come alone bring her blanket at about midnight than wait until no one liao she will set up her blanket and sleep.
Really poor thing, really broke my heart.
I went up to her and gave her $50 to buy food and she was very grateful. I never stay to ask her more lest it brings up any sad memories and makes her sad.
However I cannot help but wonder why our so called “Mdm President” can enjoy life protected by security in her Yishun flat and now eventually move to her “Istana Gym” to enjoy life, while a fellow old Sinkie sleeps homeless night after night under her very nose?
“Mdm President”, let’s forget that your own race is questionable already when running for this Presidential “Election”.
Touch your heart lah “Mdm President”:
MAY I ASK WHAT GOOD HAVE YOU DONE FOR FELLOW SINGAPOREANS ESPECIALLY THOSE IN NEED EVER SINCE YOU ARE PRESIDENT?
In case you all accuse me CSB.
Here are some photos I snapped.
If any kind hearted souls wanna come help donate or something, she is found at Khatib MRT most nights from 1 to 2 am onwards.
(That said, when this message goes out, I wonder if Pappy will activate Polis come take her away to jail her and pretend nothing happened at all?)
Is this the fate that awaits us all when we grow old?
Is this the Utopia that LKY imagined?

My dad was purposely hit and run this morning at around 7am, along SLE towards woodland .
Look at the right side of the video, if you see from the computer , you’re able to see the rider extended his leg to kick my dad’s bike thats why he didn’t fall and can just speed off.
Asking for more witness or anyone who is able to help to identify the rider with the pillion (KTM) who hit my dad or another way he actually kicked my dad’s bike don’t know for what ! & also the car on the second lane who just go over my dad’s bike and drove away too .
My dad got his ribs and also shoulder fractured . With many abrasions and also stitches on his philtrum and also chin . & also infections cause by the fractured.
I hope the the vehicle behind them has a car cam as well . Please be nice and contact us . What would you do if that was your dad ?
Thank you to the rider behind my dad for assisting him to call the ambulance too .
Am so disapointed with FlyScoot. As an airline I would have expected you to put in place a SOP for flight delays/ baggage delay/ any hiccups and BE empathetic towards your passengers who put their trust and money in you on their trips.
But #SCOOT FlyScoot my recent experience had been so bad that unless I am absolutely left with no choice, no amount of marketing and advertising or cheap promotion will make me fly with you again
#SORRYNOSORRY I understand delay happens and with budget airlines the chances of it happening is even higher,. I am prepare to deal with flight delay but the least you could do is to make it more pleasant for me. I was totally put off by how disorganized you are and the below par standard customer service I get from an airline.
1) You re-time me 3 times without giving a reason, i called your hotline to check on the re-timing and your guys handling the call wasn’t even sure about it.
2) The check in counter information shown on the airport screen and actual counter check in was not correct, right down to the very min it says the counter is open. We have to have the other airline counter staff telling us where to go
3) We were told to first stand aside to get the meal voucher but after waiting for about 10-15mins, your ground staff told us that it will be issued at gate within 30mins. When we went over to gate, no one was there to give it out, Finally we dont even see the meal vouchers – again no explanation given
3) You gave us a Flight delay notice that shows departure at Xtime, only to have us sit in the turmac for another hour or so and upon calling your CS to request for a revised flight delay notice i was told i need to wait another 5-7 working days
It probably will not matter to you that you had lost one customer since there are loads of people who will jump at the price promotion. But why spend money on marketing when you cant even get the basic right.
A 42-year-old man, Chan Chee Kin, ex CFO of Midas Holdings, the aluminium alloy manufacturer, was sent to prison for four weeks on Monday for taking upskirt videos of women at Orchard Road on June 21, last year.
He was honoured as the best chief financial officer at the Singapore Corporate Awards in 2015. On Sept 25 this year, he pleaded guilty to two of four charges of using his mobile phone to take upskirt videos of women. Chan was at 313@Somerset mall when he saw one of the victims at around 1.25 pm that day. He turned on the video recording app on his mobile phone and stood behind the victim on the upriding escalator. He held his phone under the victim’s dress and took an upskirt video for 2½ minutes. He did it a total of three times.
At about 2.40pm, he was at Dhoby Ghaut MRT station when he saw another woman. He similarly stood behind her on an upriding escalator and took an upskirt video of her which lasted 52 seconds. He then followed the victim to Cold Storage supermarket at Plaza Singapura and continued filming her multiple times.
It was not known how he was identified, but he was eventually arrested that day. In both cases, Chan followed the victims to film them. For the second victim, it was more egregious as Chan had taken seven more videos of the victim after the first at the MRT escalator. A message had to be sent that Chan’s actions could not be condoned, the judge added.
Chan could have been jailed for up to one year and/or fined on each charge of insulting modesty.

A 36-year-old man turned from being a helper for a loan shark to collect an ATM card from a debtor to a criminal who used force on the police. Zhou Weili was jailed 10 months and ordered to pay a fine of $90,000 for his actions.
The police had spotted him in his car during his loan shark runner stint and had asked him to step out of his car. Instead of stepping out, he continued driving, causing one police officer, who was holding his car door, to lose his footing and fall to the ground. The officer, who suffered superficial injuries, and his partner continued chasing after Zhou.
While trying to flee, Zhou slammed his car into the bumper and sides of two other nearby cars. It was revealed in court that Zhou became a loanshark runner after he could not pay off his debts owed to a loan shark known as Dominique, and he has been working for Dominique since December 2015.
National security is of utmost importance to us and BioScreen is an integral security measure to keep our country safe and secure. Since BioScreen was progressively rolled out across all checkpoints from April 2016, it has proven to be effective in detecting people with adverse records, such as those trying to enter the country using false identities.
We have noted the concerns from netizens on the trial of BioScreen for car travellers at the land checkpoints. We will closely monitor and assess the ground situation, and calibrate the implementation according to prevailing security assessments. Our officers will also assist travellers with special needs accordingly. We seek travellers’ understanding during the trial period.
